Yahoo Pickem's showed up for anyone still doing them, get in before tonight's game.

Yahoo, man. Bums. I checked earlier today multiple times. Oh well, one game lost.

Part of the problem with Treon is they don't trust him to change plays at the line of scrimmage, or look beyond his first read. It's kind of a vicious cycle, he's bad so they restrict him, and he's so restricted that he's pretty predictably bad.

Basically this. McElwain even pretty much admitted to it in interviews this week.

You know Mre, you're right.. Nothing good comes from Tennessee..

Another reason Tennessee sucks. Santa in a cage being pulled by a truck in Knoxville tonight. Wut

 

[impirius]

Looking more and more like Muschamp will end up at South Carolina. Welp,

I have actually said pretty much this exact same thing; that it turns into a self-fulfilled prophecy.

Still, even if nothing else, just make the wide open throws. They have never been longer than maybe 20 yards.

For a guy who won so much in HS it's just bizarre how poor of a player he is at this stage.

 

[AlteredBeast]

Holy damn, big day for coaching news. ECU is dumb as shit, and I never even thought of Mendenhall being a candidate somewhere.

Bronco put his name in the heart for USC and Washington, from what I remember. I think BYU wasn't paying him close to his worth and it seemed like he was trying to get out for a while. I wonder who they are going to get. Any former Cougars with coaching experience?

Bronco was on record stating that BYU had to be in a power five conference and that's probably why they lost him.

Having an Indy schedule like that is really tough on a coach.

 

[El_Chino]

I'd still say there's a 80% chance he signs with UGA. He's been committed for a year and a half and had multiple visits at UGA. He loves the town and the program, not just Richt. Ben Cleveland is his best friend and future LT, and he's saying there's no way he'd ever flip. Eason has gotten to know most of the signing class and I just don't see a flip unless UGA goes with a system that he can't see himself in.

Eason's official at UGA is next weekend.

People flip all the time at the last minuet, you know this.

247Sports reported that he really enjoyed his time in Gainesville and the time he spent with the coaches and the offensive plan. Only time will tell.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

When folks are taking official visits after committing, they're not committed.

College football recruiting is a joke. For your own sanity, don't even worry about it until signing day.

 

[chaosblade]

Wait, Alabama is favored by 17 against Florida?

I'll be extremely surprised if that entire game sees 17 combined points.

18-0 Alabama. 4 FGs, 3 safeties.

Amen to that.

 

[theprodigy]

Florida should really just start their next QB, I heard Alabama has a weakness to 3rd string quarterbacks

 

[chaosblade]

18-0 Alabama. 4 FGs, 3 safeties.

Safety or touchdown on defense is probably the only way anyone is scoring in the endzone. Henry needs to break a big one for a TD so he can keep the streak going though.

[Xplatformer]

Goddamn, Virginia got the coaching steal of the year.

Let's hope you're right. Right now, I'd be more than happy for the Hoos to make a bowl game next season.


Now I've gotta be a BYU fan for one game.

BYU vs UCLA in the Las Vegas Bowl. Come on Bruins.

This guy looks to be bringing intelligence and stability to Wahoos football.

Honestly, I think he's going there he's up there in age and the payday will be huge for a guy like him.

Oh agreed, the payday will be great. It's more whether Syracuse is going to be able to do anything in the ACC. Then again, last time someone actually poached one of our coaches that turned out pretty good for them.

Speaking as someone that follows recruiting news basically every single day, I can vouch for this.

Steve Sarkisian.

 

[AlteredBeast]

Steve Sarkisian.

Lol, if he only didn't have that drinking problem. Lol. I still remember his legendary Copper? (Holiday?) bowl he had, though. He went like 35-38 for 400 yards or something. Guy almost couldn't miss. Pity he is such a screw up now, though. Plus, I think BYU would probably only hire Mormons for head coaching positions, correct me if I am wrong.

Maybe taking a job in a drier state like Utah is what he needs!

 

[Draconian]

So not looking forward to the SECCG. I don't know if I can watch Harris suck as badly as he has recently out of fear I will smash the TV. But I will ask again, of nobody in particular: HOW can someone who has played QB this long be SO bad at their position? How can you consistently miss WIDE open receivers and be essentially unable to make progressions? How can you not be able to change a play at the LOS when looking at the defense?

This shit seriously doesn't make sense. The O line actually played pretty well against FSU and there were several times where Harris just stood in the pocket all day, had a receiver get open, and missed him.

Same question for our field goal kicker Austin Hardin. How can you be so bad? What do these two do all week during practice? Fuck. It's driving me nuts!

You could've asked these same questions back when Driskel was your QB.

 

[Lunar15]

You could've asked these same questions back when Driskel was your QB.

Yes, it's been basically 5 years of forcing non-pro style QB's to play pro-style football behind a non-existent offensive line. You start to go insane after awhile.

Steve Sarkisian.

A good time since Sark is fresh outta rehab

SIAP

 

[bucknuticus]

So no pickem this week or?

 

[inm8num2]

May the biggest chip on the shoulder prevail.

 

[ryseing]

BYU's Mendenhall to UVA.

Wut.

Wut.

Best carousel in years.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Thought Bronco would be a BYU lifer. Damn good hire for UVA. Not sure how BYU can be feeling about their prospects after rebuffing conference invites, leaving a conference, and now losing their coach. Not exactly a recipe for thriving long term. Even with the religious backing.

 

[FloydtheFathead]

I remember one of those guys.. Wonder what happened to him..

Syracuse could hire Tom Beck..

May the biggest chip on the shoulder prevail.

So Dantonio then..

There's always the tale of the buttchuggers.

I thought they got their corn in a jar? The song lied to me..

They had several of these incidents.. And it took the second time to do anything? Why?

 

[Limedust]

May the biggest chip on the shoulder prevail.

Dantonio has succeeded in making Saban look natural and comfortable.

 

[Arkos]

Dude Clempson is a lock, and big, I can't believe people have been speculating what would happen if UNC wins all week. Talk about needing to fill time. B1G and Pac 10 are the only interesting champ games

Go Kitty Cats!!

 

[reKon]

Excited for this game tonight. 2nd time going to Lucas Oil and with better seats this time.

Btw, Iowa's Gameday signs fucking blow. Very disappointed.

 

[Arkos]

B1G fans chanting overrated at the SEC. That is rich. Thank you, I needed a laugh this morning. Enjoy your champ getting blown out in the playoffs, Little 12

The world knows Clemson is still Clemson and this shit can go sideways for them in an instant. We got the playmakers to run with them if Marquise doesn't fuck it up like he does in most of our close games or the sakerlina loss

Also im feelin some typeof way about ECU firing Ruffin after 1 bad season. Thats pretty much unjustifiable unless the circumstances are truly outlandish.

They have the ESPN contract as well. They're in a good spot for a non ND independent.

Hmm, looks like Syracuse is going to get Dino Babers after all. If true, that's a nice pick up, Orange

This... This is a post I can get behind. Ay Zig.

We survived the UCF rumor, hopefully we can survive the Syracuse one too. How about we get Babers to talk to Clawson and ask how the Wake job is going.

Edit: and as I post this, multiple reports he's gone. Being a fan and student at a springboard program sucks.

Great hire by Cuse.

ACC really got huge coaching upgrades overall this year.

 

[andycapps]

Conference fanboyism is so dumb.

 

[squicken]

Wow. First time watching Houston all year aside from the game they had Ward out/injured. They play with tempo as well as Baylor when they have it going.
