Either I made up lies about the Boston Bomber or I fell for someone else's crap. Either way, I have absolutely no credibility and you should never pay any attention to anything I say, no matter what the context. Perm me if I claim to be an insider
The NCAA tournament is awash with excellent gifs.

Is anyone else concerned about the MWC for still not releasing their 2013 conference schedules? I mean we're almost to April and most FCS teams already have their full 2013 schedules posted at this time. Did the MWC get disbanded like the WAC when I wasn't paying attention? I want to know full Hawaii's schedule dammit!
That ridiculous site that bitched about oversigning always made sure to whine about 5th year seniors with degrees who got "cut," but I never saw the big deal with that. Kids got their degrees, so I'm not sure what else some people feel the university owes them. No one can bitch about the idiotic felons who got cut. Shinn was a contributor last year, but wasn't happy about his playing time and is probably going to Texas Tech. Woodson is still on the team.
As far as "processing" of players go, this was relatively minor.
In this scenario, Richt would have kicked Murray off the team as he has his degree and is in grad school. Obviously he won't kick off his starting QB that will own every school and conference record by the end of the season. My only point was that Saban trims his roster by whatever means necessary. Not necessarily underhanded.
That's just an asanine comparison. Starting qb versus schlorship guys who never made it above third string.
I would be pissed if Saban passed on a star recruit to keep one of these guys on the team unless they were just essential scout team players.

Football can't start soon enough.
Rutgers athletics is so abominable that our best program is probably an 8-4/9-3 football team.

The narc from the OK casino?
Also, :jnc at me for not believing the snow forecasters. Got all ready for work, hit the door and there it was. Still, having the day off is hardly the worst of surprises.
Hard to keep track of that schedule when you're never on campus.
FIFY
Apparently it was a scrimmage: http://gamedayr.com/gamedayr/johnny-manziel-reportedly-shoves-graduate-assistant-during-scrimmage/
How much snow did you get?

Unless it's a Bleacher Report article, it didn't happen.
This sounds like a good idea.
You're not going to Biggie Smalls them, are you?
Well... there's not shit-else to do around here, so let's laugh at upset basketball fans. MELTDOWN!

Here come the positive stories in Spring about UT! http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/college-football/news/20130325/mack-brown-texas/?sct=uk_t11_a1
And I am going to get hyped and bite into it again.
Then we will have a closer then usual game with BYU. I will be told not to panic, and we will get beaten by K-State, then thrashed by Oklahoma, then etc etc etc.
The joys of being a Longhorn fan.

Excellent Bleacher Report article by Stewart Mandel. He has some decent insights for fan blogger. He's no TJ Corbs Corbs though.
Did you see the jersey strong helmet, with the jersey shore jersey today? I mean I know it's for Sandy, but but but ....
Seems like it's Maurice Clarettt U at Maryland (might be Fed Ex) with Michigan at Rutgers (it might be Metlife) in 2014.

The FBS is growing once more!
Georgia Southern and Appalachian State are moving to FBS in 2015 and joining the Sun Belt Conference. Sun Belt is also looking at Idaho and New Mexico State plus other FCS schools to get to 12 eventually. They're losing WKU and another team - Middle Tennessee I think to CUSA.

No way those games wont be played in the bigger NFL stadiums. At least for the first year.
Good for Georgia Southern. About damn time.

Do they enjoy good support? Can't remember exactly but I thought they were. I think by 2015 FBS should be pushing about 130 teams I think. Because CUSA is adding some FCS schools too by 2013-2015. UNC-Charlotte and Old Dominion at the very least.
GSU is apparently 10-1 against us... damn.
I think that Georgia Tech and Georgia Southern need to have a loser leaves town type of game, because surely there's not room for two FBS teams from the same state both running the option.
Yeah, on that level they have a pretty good following. I kind of root for them on a little brother level as Erk Russell left his defensive coordinator position at UGA back in the day to start their football program. They've won 6 national championships in Div 2 so that's something. They're a triple option team, along with Georgia Tech and now Kennesaw State.
One of Paul Johnson's coaches from GA Tech (and former UGA player), Brian Bohannon, left the other day and is apparently starting the football program at Kennesaw State.

I didn't see the new Sandy gear. Oh well, maybe the shabby gear will have our opponents roll over in laughter.
As for playing Michigan at MetLife - Ugh. Let's just have our game against Penn State.
I imagine so. They can be a second sacrificial lamb for big money teams since they aren't 1-AA anymore. (insert Michigan joke here)
I have to imagine it's a pretty nice windfall. TV contracts are where a ton of the money is and I-AA is basically only on TV at all during the playoffs if you're lucky.

I think I'm starting to dislike Dodds more than Mack. Stability leads to complacency when things go awry, and that's exactly what has happened. 3 sub 10 win seasons and Dodds loves Mack more than ever. The old geezers at the head of our athletic departments are like any other geriatric. Wake up early with the same routine every day; a bowl of malt-o-meal in the morning, lunch at 11, dinner at 4:30, wheel of fortune at 6:30, then bedtime at 8.
We need a young guy in charge that isn't afraid to shake things up, to step on toes, to create an uncomfortable environment with the constant pressure of accountability. We have none of that right now. Heck I can't even remember the last time a mens head coach was fired for performance reasons. Won't happen anytime soon with "everybody is doing an excellent job and winning all the time is bad for college sports" Dodds

A) I am still fine with Mack so far. He has earned 3 disappointing seasons. Unlike Barnes, who needs to be fired.
B) I am too worried about the fight between Perry and Powers to shake up the Athletic Department. Or anything higher up in the faculty really.
C) I only want Oliver Luck since Bowlsby is our league commissioner.

I can honestly say that I never would have expected to see all the little schools around here mentioned in the CFBGAF thread.
What? We talk about Louisville all the time here.

What would this thread be without all the up to date news following conference realignment of all kinds. I'm sure everyone was wondering when Tulsa joins the America 12, who will replae them in C-USA?
Well .. Western Kentucky it is!

Touche. I wonder what happens to the Sun Belt in all this big dog eat little dog though. Looks like WAC scraps + Div 1-A newcomers.

Who will be the next team from Div. IAA to move up to the Sun Belt?
