I know I should do better research, but someone please fill me in on the meaning of the duct tapped horns! Thanks.

My bet is the self destructive behavior is the typical coach behavior, shared with guys like Saban. I doubt it is more than that.

At first I was, admittedly happy to hear this news, although that may make me a poor sport, but I know think this totally sucks. What the hell is beating Florida going to be worth next year? Nothing! Its going to make me sick seeing all the specials during games next year, portraying UF as some sort of modern day Marshall. Loosing Tebow and Meyer in one season! Oh the cruelty of it all! How can they go on!? Look how brave the boys in orange are, fighitng on without the two greatest leaders in the history of sports, the USA, and human history!

At least it detracts from human interest stories on Saban.

Kelly has to be the front runner. He is the hot name right now. HOWEVER perhaps the Irish will realize that hiring another offensive genius may not be the best choice. They need someone to fix their defensive recruiting problems. They are a good offense that can't recruit a decent D-Lineman or linebacker.

I hope and pray that there Papal intervention, and Urban is called to South Bend by a higher power, but I don't see it happening. All the hype is over a comment Meyer made BEFORE the successes of the last 3 years. At one point Meyer probably did think Notre Dame was his dream job.

Any Gator Rival SEC'er who is trying to convince themselves that Meyer will leave the Swamp is delusional. Like it or not he has created THE dream job in college football. He has a recruiting MACHINE that shows no sign of slowing, and as all of us Southerners will admit, no one in their right mind, much less someone raking in millions, wants to live in Indiana over Florida.

We won't see Sheppard as the "option guy" because the entire stadium, and the other team, will know that is what's coming. Crowton has shown much predictability in that regard. I would love to see what is suggested, and allow Sheppard to run the option for at least 3-4 plays against Florida, though I bet we will get 0 yards, if ONLY they would allow him to pull up on a later option and make a deep pass.

I suggest the SEC implement a new rule for post TD celebration, making the only allowed celebration activity the "One Knee Prayer Move", conducted specifically as such:
One knee down, head bowed short prayer lasting no more than 3 seconds, but no shorter than 2 seconds, followed by the contrite handing of the ball to the nearest official, again with head bowed, not making eye contact with the players superior, the referee, who through his gentle kindness and charity allows the rough uncultured young hooligans (of questionable ethnicities) the gift of acting as the focus of the Referee exhibition that we call a football game.

I just saw the video on ESPN about TC McCartney. Is this kid any good, does he have a chance to actually play one day?

This is a message board, not the stands of the game! You rant on this, you cheer at the game. Speaking the truth doesn't equate to being a bad fan.

For the D-Line I will be slightly more generous than O-Line (F), and give them a D minus. The total rushing yards was 157, bolstered by 50 by the QB. What gets me maddest, and maybe was irrelevant, was the last drive by UW. Being unable to stop them, and go out with the ball, was disappointing.

RIGHT! Someone at Tiger HQ better get real, and FAST. Screw that Negatiger BS. Watch the game and face facts.

1. We were killed in time of possession, based on the D-Line being manhandled. No joke. Think Washington has a better O-Line than Bama?

2. How many defensive stops were ALMOST made only to watch the Huskie QB outrun, easily, a slow end or tackle? Why wasn't there a backer on him! Did Chavis think that Raheem Alem was going to will himself to 4.5 speed!

3. Did anyone notice the overall look of awkwardness, the "about to fumble the handoff" nature of Jordan Jefferson? Does it not look like the most basic component of running the ball, the QB-RB handoff is so awkward it slows our plays down?

4. Other than seeing the TV cuts to Chavis looking old and tired (the time change must have KILLED him) on the sidelines, it looked like last years team on D.

My biggest concern is that we didn't look ANY better on D, and those that think we will be OK by getting in to scoring battles better pray hard, cause I don't see it. Who would have thought that Washington had the more impressive QB, RB and Receiver!

Another Bama egomaniac. Geezzzz, you weren't that good, and last I checked, beating Bama doesn't make you #1...unless your Florida.

If it wasn't for the media love for Saban, and the early defeat of what turned out to be a weak Clemson team, you wouldn't have had delusions of grandeur. You beat mediocre teams, including my beloved Tigers. Your big win was Georgia, who went on to show who they really were by getting embarrassed by Florida and shamed by in state rival Ga Tech.

Get over yourself, look over your schedule. Did you really beat Tulane 20-6 and think your the best team in the BCS?

Don't worry, Saban will coach the team when it counts, but sadly, don't count on him to win you games that don't count as much. LSU lost the Capitol One bowl the year after winning the BCS with Saban, who didn't seem to care much, but then again, he was on his way out the door.

Thinking of that...anyone check the charter flights from New Orleans on Friday to Denver or New York? Just kidding, we all know you won't loose Nick to the NFL.

Happy New Year! Only 8 months till SEC football! Urghhh
