We'll have a lot of returning starters. If Keith returns to his sophomore form we'll be alright, but the line needs to be better. With the way Sark has been recruiting, I don't think we'll hit our peak talentwise for another year or two, though.

Same. But by then, Oregon will be coming off consecutive 12-0 bowl-less seasons.

OSU is officially down to the final 2 for Laquon Treadwell, the #1-rated WR in the country.

It's between us and Ole Miss, and apparently Gundy had an in-home visit with him today. Pretty confident at this point.

12-0? I know you said UW would basically be your bowl game, but I don't think the NCAA would actually stop us from playing ;)

Maybe they'll implement a mercy rule for UW's sake? :)



Also is there anyone else behind Keith Price? Montana Junior? Sankey and ASJ are great pieces but Price hasn't moved the needle much since looking promising a few years ago. He looked potentially better than Locker when he started for him against UO 2 years ago...

Two 4* guys that redshirted this season, including the MVP of the Army All-American Bowl (Cyler Miles, other guy is Jeff Lindquist). Another 4* guy coming in this year, Troy Williams. We also have our backup from this past season, Derrick Brown, but a lot of people expect Miles to win the job once Price leaves (or if he beats him out this offseason).

Speaking of Pac 12 stadiums, I'm looking forward to visiting Berkeley for the OSU-Cal game this year.

I'm especially psyched that I can attend a game in your stadium without dying in an earthquake.

I'd like to head up there for a Weekender again at some point. Its one of two road stadiums I've been to in the conference (UW is the other, I've been to Martin stadium but not for a game). I'd like to see how much nicer it is.

Of course if I get a job in Austin that could make things difficult...

Somehow all we have lost early to the NFL so far is DT Brandon Moore. He was one of our two JuCo transfers we had last year. Of all the talent that could have left early for the NFL off our roster, I don't know if he would crack the top 10. Clearly hes leaving for the money potential
Click to expand...

He's a juco guy who will most likely be undrafted, so a lot of people are thinking that it's a grades issue. I don't really care that much about Moore, Texas has plenty of DT's

Sports Illustrated had a good run. I remember when that publication almost monopolized the sports news world. Now they are going the way of Nintendo Power...

wat?

I mean, large amounts of football forums will ban you if you post "news" from Bleacher Report. At least with SBNation (another blogger site), you can source the main articles to employees. Bleacher Report is basically "us" posting whispers of rumors as "news" :lolol

Sweet. I'm confident we'll make a good showing. No doubt there are tons of Buckeyes in the Bay Area.

My best friend from high school and college goes to Davis Law and his fiancee goes to Berkeley Law. It's a good excuse to go out and visit them.

Yeah, this makes no sense. Worst part is that now more people will openly post about BR as if they are credible.

Bleacher Report has celebrity reporters, what other sports site can boast that?

By the way I believe Bon Jovi - Alabama to the B1G is HAPPENING! He's got sources. After all he's Bon Jovi!

I would assume the SBNation model is what they'd move towards; having some actual employees injected into the middle of the scum and villainy.

Final Meltdown of the year (and hopefully not forever, as the 2 main guys at this blog are leaving).

ND Fans, surprisingly* racist!

Fuck these inbreds and ex-slaves. I'd rather be a true institution of higher learning. We don't need this

We're mother fucking frauds, guys, fucking frauds. It's just 14-0, but welcome to the LSU/Sugar Bowl again. FUCK

Bama looks scared. We don't

Fucking Pac 12 refs. we KNEW they would get us back for that Stanford game. now they're costing us the title!!

I know the general counsel on campus and I'm calling him tomorrow for options. This game was fixed from the beginning. I want to know who was involved. This game will destroy the sport

well when the whole team is related to each-other there's not much you can do

HEY AT LEAST IT'S NOT 21-0 AT THE END OF THE FIRST

For the LOVE of GOD TACKLE SOMEONE...Anyone...Each Other...Something

I never thought we would come out flat like this. Alabama is not this good. We are just lifting up our skirts and letting them take what they want.

THIS IS WHY THIS FUCKING GAME SHOULD BE PLAYED ON A GOD DAMN SATURDAY! ND WINS? I GET FUCKING WASTED! BAMA WINS? I GET FUCKING WASTED EVEN WORSE! BRADE HOKE COMES OUT ON A SCISSOR LIFT AND DOES A RANDY SAVAGE-ESQUE ELBOW DROP OFF OF IT ONTO BRIAN KELLY? I GET FUCKING WASTED AND GO TO THE HOSPITAL FOR ALCOHOL POISONING! AND I DON'T MISS WORK! (*note* I actually get this response)

interesting 24 hours in recruiting. Dee Liner decommits from Auburn (think Alabama has a good shot at him) and Tim Williams commits to Alabama (right out of LSU's Backyard and a good pass rushing OLB, when LSU loses their entire defensive line to the draft)

Bama-GAF: Looks like we got a commit from a top-rated LA prospect (Tim Williams)... and he hails from Baton Rouge. Looks like our final take at LB, and he projects at Sam.

Edit: Day late and a dollar short.

I mean, seriously, $800 million dollars for a team that probably can't fill that 60,000 seat stadium. This is a plan to create a Las Vegas NFL team and you know it!

Maybe the casino mafia just needed a new cement building to hide more bodies in. Just think of how many Tony's you could fit in a 100 yard long television!

I think I'm going to be flying down from Seattle for this game as well. I also have a tentative trip out to Columbus scheduled for Homecoming (whenever that is), as my father is going back for his reunion/celebration of the unbeaten 1973 team.

just noticed the woman in the white shirt with the praying hands. I see red numbers, so it's finally proven, once and for all, that God prefers Alabama over Indiana.

It's for UFC and other events. UNLV will just happen to play there.
