Here’s the difference to me: I’ll concede that Oats and Co. are working their arse off but not outworking the previous staffs. I’m not sure I agree with that statement but I’ll concede the point. Oats and Hodgson are selling something tangible with a track record. Avery was selling the idea that ...

He’s probably going to Sparty. Quite a few CB’s already for Izzo and Mich. St. ...

I think betting the farm that Rojas will be our answer in the middle is fraught with danger. Maybe he is, and the fact that he’s coming from Juco and one of the top programs at that level in the country is encouraging. But there still will be growing pains and some guys just never transition well to...

More realistic scenario: 5 or 6 of the teams mentioned by OP has 1 loss and there are no undefeated teams. Who gets in? ...

Did you ever think maybe he's signing on to try and help fix a broken system? I hope he gets some shite done....

That should also tell you how good of an offensive mind Chad Morris is. He attacked Bama with far less talent and talent not optimal for his system and the Hogs still managed to carve up Bama’s secondary for 31 points. If he gets his guys in there, they will be dangerous. ETA: and it would not s...

Quite a bargain for $200K wasn't he?...

Been there, done that with the NCAA. If they are on their period, if they didn't sleep well, if they have gas, you're fricked. They don't need a reason, they are the NCAA. They get their jollies by screwing programs over. ...

Yes, it’s ultimately Saban’s role but if the team leaders don’t GAF and are worried about their draft status and the assistant coaches don’t GAF because they are worried about promotions and/or new jobs what can he do? His program is structured around everyone doing their job. He can’t do it all. ...

Bearden, the first thing you have to do is change that avatar. ...

Yes, a public university has to comply with a FOIA request, but they can stall for a pretty damn long time if they so choose with no recourse for the requestor other than to repeat the request. I'm not saying LSU has done this, but if they want to, they can effectively squash a FOIA probably until b...

I suspect we can do a little better than that. I’m predicting 6th just because I think the other upper half teams just lose a lot. ...

I’m in again ...

OP’s question is invalid. Auburn is picked 4/5 in the west. They are notorious for putting together stellar seasons when expectations are low and crashing and burning when picked high. They have great talent on both lines of scrimmage and Gus has the reigns of the offense again. They are going to be...

PAC-12 football is in serious trouble if things don’t change. It has long been a top-heavy conference where it was USC and UCLA and occasionally Washington being nationally relevant. In recent years, Stanford and Oregon joined the club and USC and UCLA fell off. But lately even their top tier teams ...

Wow! No favors there. Gotta play the Tarheels. Well, we could certainly shock the world and go a long way towards punching our ticket to The Dance if we pulled the upset! But reality says we gonna get a can of whoop-ass opened on us! ...

Hunker down, Bayou Bengals, maybe you too Aggie. Barry may not be a big storm, but looks like it will be nasty from a flooding standpoint. This Michael survivor is sending a little prayer ya'll's way for your safety. ...

Well, hell, according to the numbers I saw, he didn't have the minimum 35 receptions for that gif....

What about Final Fours? You made it, congratulations! You were one of the last losers that season! ...

Can't wait to see the strong arse offer the NCAA makes to Mr. Wade to show cause for his next job. ...
