Also? Today I learned that Oregeron's LSU buyout is $12 million. He's not going anywhere anytime soon. 

[gunnar hendershow]

His agent deserves a national monument named after him. Wow.

[VerbalPuke]

Wow, Iowa State upsets Oklahoma.

Don't let this distract you from the fact that Texas lost to Kansas.

Oh shit @Meacon

Air Force vs. Navy today.

[GhostMachine]

People are talking about Jon Gruden....again...for the Tennessee job. Just like the other times, not gonna happen.

I've heard Charlie Strong's name bandied about, just like it was before they hired Jones. I don't think he'd be a good fit, and his record isn't that impressive. Why do some seem keen on Louisville head coaches?

At this point, I'm surprised no one has brought up Tommy Tuberville or other ex-Auburn head coaches (ignoring Gene Chizik)......

[VerbalPuke]

So Michigans fans are questioning Harbaugh...

They wanted Bo Schembwhatever and I think they got him. Losing bowl games and rivalry games. Oh well, Michigan State made it happen and looks like they've moved on from last season. Their defense was consistently making shit happen and punched Michigan right their face.

Gary Anderson quit today.  7-23 with Oregon State, so not a huge loss.

 

Left a whole bunch of money on the table though, walking away and voiding all obligations.

[Meacon Keaton]

I can't help but feel like there must be something more to that. He happily left Wisconsin to take that job. If you're going to fire me, or force me to resign, you betta' belie' that I'm going to get at least some of what I'm owed. 

[Lowerdeck]

A reporter for the Oregonian a couple weeks ago heard Anderson mention if he couldn't win there, he'd quit.  But nobody expected it midseason, even if he was telling the truth.

Curious to find out what more there is about this story.  Something seems off.

[gunnar hendershow]

That is really strange he is leaving money on the table.

Both Bielema and Anderson left a great program at Wisconsin for jobs at Arkansas and Oregon State and both of them will probably be unemployed come January.

[Meacon Keaton]

And Paul Chryst is chuckling in Madison with his undefeated record. 

[Meacon Keaton]

Down goes Clemson. Been watching the Yankee game but I got the alert that they lost to Syracuse.

[gunnar hendershow]

Wazzu also got crushed by Cal. Friday night games are such a trap for road ranked teams. I feel a disproportionate amount of them get upset in these games.

[mattman1624]

That Cal win over WSU was crazy. Justin Wilcox really is doing his best to improve the defense over where it was in the Sonny Dykes years(dead last in the nation). Cal really could win two or three of the next three games to clinch a bowl birth. In a rebuilding year.

[Meacon Keaton]

Not many things better than dropping a brick on USC's head and pissing in their mouth.

What's targeting? Have a game on and I don't get it

TCU is going to get screwed out of a spot in the playoff in favor of Notre Dame, aren’t they?
