Just saw that. Interesting.

Tom Herman has apparently agreed with South Carolina, SEC beware.



UPDATE 11/24) We are told today a tentative agreement on an offer in principle between USC and Tom Herman has been reached. The deal is contingent on Herman and his wife liking what they see when they visit USC and Herman and Ray Tanner being comfortable with one another. That visit could take place as early as Sunday or the first part of next week depending on the outcome of Houston’s game Friday with Navy. A Houston loss would expedite the process. All information at this time points toward Herman. All other names are simply fallback prospects should things not work out with Herman.

Shit, well SC won the Carosel if true..

I'm good with this.

Assuming he does well at South Carolina - and I think he will - that would position him well for a return to OSU when Urban retires/dies in a few years.

Ah yes, the Bama/Dabo theory.

 

[BertramCooper]

Ah yes, the Bama/Dabo theory.

Well, I mean, how could a coach named "Dabo Swinney" not someday coach Alabama?

 

[truly101]

I'm not gonna lie. This complete collapse since the Miami debacle has me depressed. Other than watching that shit show vs Pitt live and a bit of the Bama/LSU game, I haven't watched any CFB at all.

Maybe its a good time to take a break and see where the team is come spring practice. I sorta hope Duke is not invited to a bowl this year. I can't imagine where I would have ever thought that before.

 

[Piggus]

Next Saturday we are all Penn State fans..

Can I be a Michigan fan instead? I don't like kiddy fiddlers.

 

[bucknuticus]

Womp womp, poor ND

 

[sf2fanatic]

ND needs to win by at least 30 to get a sniff correct?

 

[FloydtheFathead]

Compromise.. Cheer for Michigan State to lose.

That way if Michigan does win, it become so much better that OSU loses the division and misses out completely on the playoffs.

Or you can cheer for the meteor then..

 

[bucknuticus]

B1G gonna play its way out of a playoff spot.

Week in week out

Will do, but only if OSU loses.

 

[MaGlock]

Not necessarily. Iowa or mich state will be out after championship week. Depends on who looks better Saturday ND or Oklahoma. If ND looks impressive against Stanford I don't see how Oklahoma gets in ahead of ND

 

[Kusagari]

Shocked that Oklahoma actually did jump so high.

Now watch them lose and fuck everything up.

 

[Azwethinkweiz]

The deal is contingent on Herman and his wife liking what they see when they visit USC

Welp, no one has anything to worry about then!

 

[FloydtheFathead]

Will do, but only if OSU loses.

Well if we played like we did against Sparty, we will.

I feel like Goku, I'm gathering all the energy to curse Sparty. I need the Based God to put it over the top.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Wow the CFP committee actually punished Florida for their win against FAU

 

[Kusagari]

Wow the CFP committee actually punished Florida for their win against FAU

Not like it ultimately means anything. If Gata somehow wins out we all know they're in.

 

[MaGlock]

Wow the CFP committee actually punished Florida for their win against FAU

Punished ND for a lackluster win over Boston college too.

 

[perfectchaos007]

bye week for them

It has to suck to be a fan of smaller football schools.

The moment you have a modicum of success, your coaches are gone.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Tom Herman's current team is unranked. What's so special about him?

After Memphis upset Ole Miss I remember the coach saying "We want to show you can win and continue to win here" or something to that effect, and I think if I was a fan of Memphis I would want to believe that but I'd know deep down that he was gone as soon as someone bigger came calling. I mean I honestly thought he was gonna get the SCAR job but I guess there will be other SEC jobs.

He is heavily rumored for VT.

:jnc

The guided tour will be carefully crafted.

 

[theprodigy]

4 B1G teams in the top 10?

this committee's bias is absolutely disgusting

 

[Ryuuroden]

Conference strength is cyclical. :jnc

 

[bucknuticus]

and only 1 sec in top 10

 

[sf2fanatic]

Really? Did Beamer retire?

Edit: huh, guess he did. Dunno how I missed that.

Last game vs NC was Beamer day.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Go Blue.

Welcome to the University of Cincinnati. Last 3 HC prior to Tuberville:

Mark Dantonio '04-'06
Brian Kelly '07-'09
Butch Jones '10-'12

Word is Tuberville may be looking to move on (well, it is his 3rd year, so time to go).

 

[timetokill]

Shit, well SC won the Carosel if true..

Man, that is a confusing article. They keep talking about USC but apparently it's about South Carolina?

 

[Dsyndrome]

Yep, how I feel when someone vaguely talks about OSU.

 

[Limedust]

... so you quit watching CFB after the Bama loss?

 

[reKon]

That BIG 10 heat though..

 

[timetokill]

Yep, how I feel when someone vaguely talks about OSU.

OSU makes sense, there's like 20 of them.

There's only one USC and it's in Los Angeles.

UC does this to themselves with their atrocious stadium and facilities.

I just them the Cocks.. Because it's fun to say.

 

[ErnieMcCracken]

The remodeled stadium opened up this season (better late than never). They need to get out of the AAC...

 

[Zach]

Wooooo Sooners! Bedlam's gonna be intense!

 

[BertramCooper]

UC should just get the Bungals to let them use their dumb stadium.

There's basically no room to expand Nippert. At all.

 

[cdyhybrid]

B1G gonna play its way out of a playoff spot.

Week in week out

Just like on the field, the B1G is a step or two behind the P12

They just did this year. Anyways, Mike Brown would bend UC over worse than he is Hamilton County for using that stadium.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

As soon as they do something to deserve it! And it's not like teams in the AAC or other G5 conference are content there. Quite a few are doing a shitton to improve facilities, etc., but get passed over because reasons.

If only a number of "P5" schools just skating by and cashing checks by association could get the boot to make room for G5 programs actually investing in sports, etc....

 

[BertramCooper]

Expand in a meaningful way.

I don't find a 35K to 40K expansion particularly noteworthy.

 

[theprodigy]
