Aww man. It's gonna be developed by Telltale isn't it?
There's gonna be a #1 Worst of the Worst on ESPN come Friday. You can't make this shit up.

People tried to make it to the game, but were blown off course by the wind, and are stuck in Oakland, just like the Raiders draft picks.
A tree blew over and was blocking 3 out of 4 lanes on 80 up near Vallejo.
It has been windy as fuck here.

Omg PLS no.

Well I mean why wouldn't he? Jimbo is great at developing QBs for the NFL, even when they aren't that great of qbs. And he would be a likely starter on a competitive team. I don't care either way, but it seems like a good career move. Better than Duke anyway. And better than staying in Columbus.
Jimbo is about to have his third straight starting QB drafted in the first round.
no, Jimbo really isn't. NFL teams are starving for any signs of QB talent, and they'll throw away picks at them.
JaMarcus Russell (purple drank into 300 lb+ retirement)
Matt Flynn (turned a few decent performances on a offensive talent loaded GB team, into multiple stops that amounted to nothing).
a few other LSU guys:
Josh Booty, sixth round, 2001
Rohan Davey, fourth round, 2002
Craig Nall, fifth round, 2002
Matt Mauck, seventh round, 2004
Christian Ponder (well, he married nice)
Ej Manual (hanging by a thread, because the guy who replaced him is retiring)
Buffalo's GM, backtracking from saying Manual was a busted draft pick:
and, I can't predict the future, but I see dark clouds in Winston's NFL future.
Hell, Jake Coker couldn't beat out a converted running back in Blake Sims ;P

I'm shocked Stanford couldn't sell out a bowl game in their backyard.
Manuel Ponder and Russell failed because they just aren't that good. But Jimbo got them drafted high.
And Winston will be drafted high.
Whether he is bamboozling teams into thinking his qbs are better than they are is kind of immaterial. They still have been getting drafted. Everything after that is on them.

Notre Dame WON!!?!?!?
WTF Les.
And to think you come from my beloved hometown of Elyria, and you lose to the freaking Irish? My others picks were on at least, but what the hell.

How did you get home from the Belk Bowl so fast? Surely you were one of the 25k in attendance, right?

This did turn out to be the least surprising blowout so far.

Nah, it was let down game after the big win against Stanford. If USC played BC before Stanford they would have won.
Eh, I'm not objected to it. I don't think we get the new Jameis-level-5-star-QB-hyped recruit until 2016 anyways, so we'll have a year where Miller can play. He'll certainly be better than Sean Maguire.
One of my oldest friends has an amazing family (the Frohnmayers). They've had a lot rough news over the years but represent everything that's awesome in the world and they've paired up with Jimbo Fisher to fight a difficult illness affecting someone in both families. Check the link out:
Oregon and FSU team up to fight rare illness

You're in the top 29% percentile!

Actually I checked my picks, I did put Stanford at the top. I'm still doing poorly.
You know that FSU never made a trip to the White House after winning last year. Never got around to it, then it was too late.
Not so fast my friend. Better QB play would have certainly put us over Miami and VT, and probably ASU as well. Miller going to Duke would also have a really sizable impact on Duke's program, FSU or Oregon? Not so much. I think its one of those things where its going to be nice that Duke is on the list, but he'll pick elsewhere (or maybe his parents want him to get a Duke degree). The Driskel thing sounds like its happening anyway. He's officially put in for Duke to contact him.
That LSU game was nonsense. Cyan, I can't believe your team screwed that up.
He's a monster. He's 4th on the list of single season rushing yards at UGA, the top 3 spaces are all held by Walker. If he'd started all season long, I honestly think he'd be number 1 easily. He's not better than Walker, but he could have beaten his single season rushing yards. He's much further along than where Gurley was as a true freshman, and Gurley is a freak.
Louisville looked pretty good on the first drive, then Pruitt made adjustments and pretty well neutralized them the whole game. The only thing they had at that point was Parker, who is a monster.
There have been rumors, though I think they're ridiculous and I'll believe it when I see it. There have also been rumors that there's a lot of tension between the coaching staff and between the athletic department, which I think was made public with Pruitt coming out about the indoor practice facility and giving our AD a gentle push by issuing a vote of confidence that they'll get it done quickly.
Maybe better luck next year. I'll be honest, I saw all the hallmarks of a Grantham coached defense last night that we suffered through when he was at UGA. Namely, there were 7 times that Louisville didn't line up properly on defense prior to the snap. One led to an easy Nick Chubb touchdown. Also, the wearing down of the defense as the game went on was reminiscent of when we got beat down in the second half of the 2012 SECCG by Bama.
Richt seemed to follow the same formula we have all year, keep running the ball throughout the game and in the second half those 2 yard runs become 5 yard runs and if he gets to the second level, Chubb is gone. Louisville was putting 8 and 9 men in the box in the 4th quarter, so UGA countered by only having one WR and putting all of our guys in the box too. Louisville was just getting bludgeoned over and over. Sooner or later Chubb will get free when guys get tired of being hit over and over. The kid doesn't get tired.
