2010 College Football--Recruiting Season

[damngoodtimes]

well, the fix was in with putting TCU and Boise at the kiddie table. you know Mike Slive had a chat with his "bowl partners" about not letting something like last year's Utah whipping of Bama happen again.

but, with the Mtn West about to run the table in their bowl games, they are getting harder to ignore. granted, they don't play the same slate of competition as the Big 10 or SEC does in their bowls, but they have a couple good wins over Cal and Oregon St.

the MWC is probably every bit as good as the Big East or ACC right now

This isn't really a surprise, is it?

Hell no, in fact I think Pitt should feel fortunate they choked against Cincy, or they would have gotten the same ass-kicking.....

Classy Florida, way to leave your starters in that game well after the game was taken care of.

Would expect nothing less from those arrogant douche bags though.

Seriously, Meyer, they can go on and on about how him and Tebow are these great people and such, but I've seriously not seen folks with the lack of class these guys have.

The worst part is they are able to escape all criticism by hiding behind a bible.

This is why I'm proud to have The Vest leading things as our school, he's a class act on and off the field, he doesn't need to constantly remind everyone about "what bible verse he likes today", and then proceed to have his players talk trash like idiots, and run up the score.

I hate Florida, Can't wait until they are moved back down to being the third-tier team they've always been prior to 2006

Oh, I have....remember when Miami was good? Fucking bastards.

I can't wait for Tebow to be drafted as a linebacker. Everyone seems to be looking for the next Mike Vick, without the dogs, and there just hasn't been one.

after Northwestern's meltdown, I didn't think the SEC could get much luckier.

until Arkansas and that dirtbag fuck Bobby Petrino get a gift-wrapped win courtesy the ECU kicker.

tie game, 1 minute left, 37-yarder from the right hash. he hooks it off the left upright.

Arkansas gets the ball and not only does nothing with it, but they don't even keep the clock moving, so ECU gets it back in good position after a punt.

Pirates get it in position with 2 seconds left, 37-yarder, right hash. deja vu, all over again. determined not to hook it, the kid pushes it right. it never had a chance.

game goes to OT. ECU blows a couple shots at the TD, so they line up for the FG. 34 yards, left hash this time. kid pulls it to the left.

Arkansas makes the FG to win in OT.

Yeah...tell me that kicker doesn't want to crawl in a hole for the rest of his life...

That kicker attended the Nick Folk Field Goal Kicking Camp in the offseason.

big win for Iowa last night. although I was pulling for the locals, the Iowa win capped off a great bowl season for the Big Ten.

I think the Big Ten was clearly the dominant conference during the bowls this year as their top four teams knocked off #'s 7, 9, 12, and 15 in the final regular season rankings after being underdogs in all four games.

after tomorrow night's game, 7 of the top 15 will have lost their bowl game. That's 4 out of 7 falling victim to Big 10 teams. pretty impressive.

maybe us native Midwesterners should start chanting "Big Ten" after victories like these SEC idiots. (....let's not)

from a practical standpoint, it will improve the Big Ten preseason rankings next year, thus improving my Bucks' perceived SOS. it also allows an opportunity to win the inevitable beauty-contest tie-breaker between either undefeated or one-loss teams that happens every year for the BCS title game. the Bucks had no chance in that regard after 06 and 07, until this bowl season. this is the only justifiable reason to pull for your conference rivals. but there's still no way I pull for Michigan - any place, any time.

time to start talking Bama vs. Texas for tomorrow night.

who does everyone have? I've been leaning toward Texas, probably due to the overwhelming historic trend in favor of the #2 team. I think motivation, (perceived or real) lack of respect, big heads due to constant praise, etc are all HUGE factors for 20-year-olds. which is why #2 tends to fair better.

but if Bama's stellar defense can repeat Nebraska's effort, I don't see the Horns being able to hold the Tide under 14 pts or so. McCoy's gonna need to put 20-24 points up on that D for Texas to win.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say they do it. Texas, 24-20.

alright, guys, step up...

[POJO_Risin]

Well fuck, with McCoy out of the game...not much to watch after it looked like Texas was going to role because of idiot calls and fumbles...

Now Texas making a bit of a run...

but has to punt after an onside kick...

[POJO_Risin]

I'm not one to say that Colt McCoy shouldn't play, to ensure a big paycheck...but...

...it sure looks like he can play...if it turns out to be a sprain...should he be holding out of the fucking national title game?

[PETE'S BROTHER]

apparently, god is gonna take care of him.

Jesus made me fumble....

anyway, apparently, it was a pinched nerve. so he had no feeling in his throwing arm.

what a damn letdown. watching that freshman getting initiated out there was unbearable. then, Alabama damn near gives the game away, until the kid turns it over again deep in his own end.

and another stay classy moment from Nick "I'm not going to be the Alabama coach" Saban, up 31-21 when the kid throws ANOTHER pick with 1:45 left in the game. Bama could have just taken 3 knees, but they score another TD.

You have to admit, Nick was playing Mr. Mack "run the score up" Brown. Bama has taken a lot of knees this year in games when they could have easily scored while other teams around the country were running scores up to improve their BCS ranking. A lot of those games they could have covered the spread in as well. You can say what you want about Saban leaving the dolphins and what a jerk he is but running the score up has never been his forte.

[damngoodtimes]

I don't give two shits about what anybody else does. I also could give a fuck about Texas. I just know what I watched last night.

Saban clearly got a gift last night with McCoy being out. That freshman was thrown out there to the wolves and had gift-wrapped 14 of Bama's first 31 pts. Plus, he cost Texas at least 7 more (settling for a FG on the first drive and costing a FG on his first INT).

Despite all that, Texas found themselves within 3 pts, with the ball, with three minutes left. Frankly, the whole Alabama team should have been embarrassed with themselves at that point. Outside of the second qtr, it was a pretty uninspired effort.

So, then the kid finally gives it up at the end of the game for the second time with that pick. Three knees and the game's over. I think you recognize that you got away with one and you get the hell out of Dodge.
