I hear Dooley is available.

His shade of orange is too weak for the Colorado area.

 

[JHall]

Ok I need to be more specific I am not king to cheer for another SEC school. And they can't be in the top 25. So far the leading candidate is Washington. I'll figure it out over lunch.

Colorado, it's an up and coming program.

Edit: Being a Cal Bear doesn't seem too bad either.

 

[TheNatural]

So much for Cincy. Snubbed in expansion and losing the coach, once again, that made them a candidate. I can't see them luring anyone decent now, and the gap of the Big 5 conferences just got bigger.

 

[ChiTownBuffalo]

Colorado, it's an up and coming program.

Well, we could not win any games next year. So there is still room to go down.

 

[Cyan]

Colorado. They are about to hire Jeff Tedford and become good for three-four years before a lengthy decline and convalescence.

Or! Rugters. Because popo needs more company. And they are joining the soon-to-be-best conference.

 

[cdyhybrid]

He's giving up his team because of a coach that turned down Colorado though

 

[Sirpopopop]

I have Draxal & jamesinclair now.

Between the three of us we cover the entire strata of Rutgers fans.


Wildly Optimistic - james.

Realistically optimistic yet still overvalues the team at times - Draxal.

Rutgers is always a dumpster fire pessimist - Myself.

I'm sure New Mexico State is fun to watch.

I think everyone should be a default Rutgers fan is they abandon their team. That way, they can also abandon a conference at the same time, and hate Penn State.

This is a strong point. But they'll also become the worst posters on GAF...

Rutgers, they're rarely in the top 25 and they're pretty irrelevant. The TV thing is going to hold you back, because it's hard to find games on TV regularly if the team isn't ranked. Unless you want to pick Notre Dame.

I swear I didn't look at the two posts above me when I recommended Rutgers. It was between them and the real UT. Tampa. But I doubt you can catch their games on TV. If they even have a football team.

 

[ChiTownBuffalo]

This is not how you get a team tattoo.

Verbally commit to Auburn. Get an Auburn tattoo. Decommit? Awkward.

 

[mre]

mre: have you kept up with the recruiting any, specifically the RB's?

Do you even think it's possible to keep Tenpenny, D. Henry, and Tyren Jones, when you know that Yeldon's got 2 more years, and Drake/Fowler/Dee Hart are back there? Factor in BB at Arkansas, I imagine they'll push to switch over Tenpenny. Could be a major get for them, since he'd fit in with that Wincy-type offense.

Shit, I just noticed that UGA and A&M have over 30 commits so far this year. There goes that "We Don't Oversign" Mark Richt!

Yes, Tenpenny is the only one at risk to flip, but he has no relationship with Bielema and the kid has stayed committed knowing what we have on campus and who we're bringing in, so it's not a given that he will decommit.

 

[Sirpopopop]

I think mcgruber was right.

The Rutgers fan base is now overwhelmingly massive and incredibly entitled!

You forgot the fourth pillar, and we have two of them at least (one more but I can't recall who at this point).

Likes Rutgers, but cares much more about the NFL - BigAT, Cagey.

 

[Bowser]

Come cheer for the coach you might've had! Really looking forward to next season. If Gio returns, he'll be mounting a Heisman campaign.

Apparently, this has now become a tattoo in memory of his cousin, Ladarius Phillips who was one of the victims of the shooting this summer:

Reuben Foster ?@reubenfoster_FG

Not getting rid of the tattoo supporting my big cuz Ladarius Phillip R.I.P #keepingit

We had a verbal commit to us a couple years ago who got a Clemson tattoo and then we pulled his schollie so he went to Tennessee. I wonder if he still has that tattoo.

 

[andycapps]

That's not why he got it. He's using that as an excuse, but so long as it still means something to him, whatever. If he comes to UGA he needs to put a "Beat" above it.

BigAT posts in the roundball thread.

He's a throwback Rutgers fan to an extinct era. (when we used to have basketball fans)

i can hear the 2014 b1g title contention talk already.

can i get a realistically optimistic record prediction for inaugural big ten season from draxal?

 

[bucknuticus]

Someone say something about Tattoos??

 

[andycapps]

Someone say something about Tattoos??

If Reuben Foster came to tOSU, think they could hook him up with tattoo removal? I know they have the tattoos covered, but that's not his problem right now.

 

[Draxal]

i can hear the 2013 b1g title contention talk already.

can i get a realistically optimistic record prediction for next season from draxal?

Um 8-4, because we're still playing in the Big East?

 

[mcgruber]

Um 8-4, because we're still playing in the Big East?

oops. i meant 2014, i guess that might be too difficult to predict.

for the big ten fans, what happened to iowa this year? were they expected to perform this poorly?

 

[cdyhybrid]

Rutgers will win the MNC next season.

That last one always gets me. Dude is in a sea of SCAR fans and has his buddy laughing in his face. You can see the salt on his face.

 

[Draxal]

2014 Rutgers should have a good senior corps on offence, and our D should be better than 2013s. 2013 will be a transition year for Rutgers on D as we are graduating a ton of talent.

Evaluation of the teams Rutgers will be most likely playing and these are all extremly arbitrary as it is to far off.

OSU - will be lucky not to get blown out. 2% chance of winning
PSU - really hard to tell, O'Brien might not be around and they're going to have depth issues, due to schollies. 50%
Maryland - should be able to beat Maryland as of today, I'm not sure if they'll be fixed by 2014.I'll go 50 % as i'm higher on Maryland then most here.
Northwestern (most likely xover game) - 50% don't know much of them, they got lucky against Cuse but so was Rutgers.
Wisconsin- as of today 10% of winning, who knows what they're next hire will be. If michigan's in the division downgrade it to 5%.
Indiana - should beat them but Rutgers always underperforms 80%
Purdue - Hard to tell with a new coach go 50% for now, I do like Hazell a ton, he just flat outcoached Rutgers.

I'm most likely underestimating NW and Purdue, but that's because out of total unfamiliarity.

I forgot what our ooc will be but it'll most likely be Army, Navy, and some Mac team and some DIA team. Should be 4-0 there.

That is probably the best picture in that thread full of amazing pictures and gifs.

 

[Garryk]

While I love their coach I am going to have to pick a school I can watch on TV.

Do you get the LHN?

 

[mcgruber]

ohio state? oklahoma state?

 

[Draxal]

I think everyone should be a default Rutgers fan is they abandon their team. That way, they can also abandon a conference at the same time, and hate Penn State.

Ruggaz has a kinda Stockholm Syndrome relationship with PSU, it's kinda weird to describe.

I give him credit for weathering the storm. A true fan.

Agreed. Tough spot to be in.

Why is everyone so down on Butch Jones? I'm not familiar...


Reason I'm asking is that UT plays at Oregon next season.

I had to Google him to figure out where he coached.

He pretty much followed Brian Kelly's career path, so alot of people thinking he's been reapin the seeds that Kelly has planted. Kelly went from Central Michigan (replaced by Jones) to Cincinnati (replaced by Jones) to Notre Dame. I think he did a very good job with a Cincinnati team that lost a lot this year.

Speaking about Credit, I hope FSU gave some to Tahj.

Might be the right call, but then again, did Les Miles ride the Saban Train? Or Gundy ride the Mad Hatter Express?

 

[Draxal]

I thought Kelly rode the D'Antoni train in Cincinnati so I don't think Jones is that bad of a hire. I don't think he'll turn Tennessee around as fast as the fans will want him too, so he's a bad hire in that regard, Dooley left the cupboard kinda bare.

 

[ChiTownBuffalo]

I hope Colorado gives the San Jose State coach a serious look.

 

[Monroeski]

Choose Texas Tech, where you'll never have to worry about finding an opponent to talk trash to because our fanbase is still violently divided over the Leach firing!

 

[Draxal]

I hope Colorado gives the San Jose State coach a serious look.

He would be the smart choice. I heard somebody mention Jim Fassel wants the job.

I woke up hating life over the Butch Jones hire. Now I'm cautiously optimistic. If he can pull together a decent staff and a top 20 recruiting class by Feb, I'll feel much better.

 

[jjasper]

People are down on him because he is clearly #4 on UTs list. So other fan bases are just making fun of UT fans. UT fans are down on him because #1 some of them actually believed some of this bullshit about Gruden that even when it came out that what he wanted was absurd they refused to let it go #2 the only time they have seen him coach he lost by 3 TDs to a Dooley coached team #3 Local reporters and $9.99 sites had said for 2 weeks that there was no way Strong would say no and that at the very least he would be the coach so when he turned them down they flipped. Personally I am not really down on him so much as I am on the administration I'll reserve judgment till after he fills his staff, recruits a class, and coaches a season. His resume looks decent and while people say he rides Kelly's coattails at least he kept it going and Kelly in reality was riding Dantonio's at Cincy.

In reality there are maybe 3-4 sure fire homerun hires in college football- Saban, Meyer, and probably the Kellys after that every hire is a gamble.


Also I was all set to pick Cal as my school. Now I don't know that is ewwwwwwwwwwwww
