2013 College Football Thread

[HailtotheYo]

What's the buyout though? Contract lengths mean very little in college.

Eh, yes and no. Given that he's turned them back into a real squad and they're moving into their brand new stadium next season ... it's about making the position a "destination" type of slot. Texas is big, it goes big, and just because you don't wear maroon or orange doesn't mean you aren't Texas football. That's the point, and that's the message being sent. Although, the buyout is around 5m$ according to what I've found (last year Tech was reportedly going to fling 4m at Baylor but it wasn't enough).

Oh I know. I'm not saying that Briles is even interested in going anywhere else (I would imagine UT would be pretty tempting though), I'm just skeptical about any extension given to a college coach meaning much.

DUKE!!!

[Meacon Keaton]

Awesome fucking ending to Georgia/Auburn.

Unless you're an UGA fan.

[gunnar hendershow]

Amazing play to win it for Auburn.

[The Buscher]

Octavias McKoy and WCSU already lost the rushing record. 465 yards for Cartel Brooks of Heidelberg, got it by 10 yards.

[Meacon Keaton]

Fuck USC. The one game we have left this year that'll mean anything (at Stanford) and USC just ruined it for us. I hate you, Trojans.

[Plubby]

Fuck you Stanford, where was that last week?!

[HailtotheYo]

DUUUUUUUUKE indeed .... I'd be head hunting if I were a Tennessee fan. Just saying.

I'd love to bee in the team meeting with the Buckeye defense after giving up 35 to freaking Illinois. Yeah, they can shut the hell up now.

Where the shit did Michigan State's offense come from ?

Baylor, North Texas, and Duke control their own destiny. Baylor will win the Big 12 if they win out, and possibly if they only lose 1. Duke will go to the ACC Title Game if they win out. North Texas will go to the Conference USA Title Game if they win out.

Shout out to Kapri Bibbs of Colorado State and his 291 yards with 6 rushing TD's, Charles Ross of Rice and his 215 yards with 5 rushing TD's, as well as Andre Williams of BC and his 339 rushing yards.

[HailtotheYo]

In the latest BCS rankings we have our far and away 1, 2 .... and Ohio State is barely ahead of Baylor (who has a huge schedule advantage to end the season).

Del Rio interviewed for the USC spot (idiots, the Big O is where it's at).

Tidbit of the week - times are 'a changing: SEC has TWO teams in the top 20 in total defense. They have FOUR in the top 20 in total offense.

[HailtotheYo]

A&M wasted ZERO time to start the stadium renovation. A friend of mine at the game said they were already taking down the goalposts, literally a minute after the MissSt game (last home game this season). This picture is of the next morning:

The East side lower stands have already been taken out.

[Meacon Keaton]

No mention of Famous Jameis?

Mr Heisman-Hopeful's DNA matched up with semen found in a young woman's underpants who claims the FSU star sexually assaulted her last December.

And apparently the Tallahassee police department suggested she not press charges.

[gunnar hendershow]

Whatever punishment Jameis gets will conveniently be levied in mid-January because that's how this world operates... sadly.

[HailtotheYo]

At this point, even "average joe" wouldn't be seeing any action until 6-8 weeks from now because the whole investigation is shot. It's a sad affair for everyone involved, just on a different level. If it turns out he did it, I hope Jimbo moves on without any bullshit. He's really turned the atmosphere around and really done a great job with separating some of the "things" that Bowden had tied to him.

Soooo Oregon players are like "the Rose Bowl ? Whatever, we don't really care."

Look, I get the point of a top team .. you're disappointed you aren't in the Title game. Really though ? Get the fuck over yourself. The game, the Rose Bowl, etc are bigger than you. In fact, for you Oregon guys you've only ever been to 6 Rose Bowls (half of them being over 50 years ago) and you've lost 4 of those 6 showings. Yeah, it IS a big fucking deal.

[Meacon Keaton]

Maybe if the big mouthed twats had put up "at least 40" on Stanford like they thought they would, they wouldn't have to "settle" for one of the most prestigious bowls ever. I hope the Beavers beat their asses.

[ThaBoss18]

2 things I hope for the rest of season

1-Tennessee wins out and goes to a bowl game maybe the Musis City Bowl

2-Duke goes to the ACC title even when they get blown out by FSU

[gunnar hendershow]

^^^ If you're not rooting for Duke to play in the ACC Championship you have no soul. They'll get destroyed, but I don't think even the most diehard Duke fans are bothered by that. Just the fact that Duke will be playing for a conference title is amazing.

Also, we're gonna settle the college football fans vs. pro football fans debate once and for all.

Game. Set. Match.

(This game is next week)

1 - Absolutely, on every front. It'll just be a kick ass party and appreciation tour for what Cutcliffe has done for the program. NOBODY will give a shit about what actually happens in the game.

2 - When was there ever a debate ? Pro Football Fans are less than nothing compared to college football fans. Here in San Antonio, UTSA fans were tailgating when they didn't have a team ....

[SilentHitman]

Dukes ascension is not so great if you're a Carolina fan though. They've already been spanking us enough in basketball over the past couple of years as it is.
