2017 College Football Thread: Hawaiian QB devastated to find out Jesus was "kinda rooting for Georgia" (2 Viewers)

[whoknew]

I hate UCLA's new all white uniform. Under Armor paid a lot of money for this?

Why would they ever not wear the baby blues?

 

[whoknew]

Washington still plays tackle football too you guys.

And they are really good. Though watch out for that Apple Cup.

Whichever conference gets left out this year is going to be pissed.

 

[gump]

Hot Takes?

• Lets just skip ahead to Alabama/Georgia in the SEC Championship game. Because the rest of that conference is ... not good.
  
• As great as Alabama looks ... Clemson is the best team in the country. A rematch in the NC game would be awesome.
  

You can't praise Clemson like that and discount Auburn.

Daboll>>>Kiffin

I'm not missing the 5 false start penalties and 8 jet sweeps so far tonight.

 

[timschochet]

Bruins under Mora are dirty. They're not any good at defense, but they're dirty. Disgusting.

 

[whoknew]

Fair point.

And what about ND?

 

[bagger]

Can you please bash Helton one of these weeks?  His dog#### Tecmo Bowl playcalling is worthy of this thread's epic ridicule.

What about the bubble screens?  That's like half of the stupid giant cards he holds up.

ADs now just want to avoid going from disappointing with potential to dumpster fire. You're stuck.

42 from UCLA saw the fake coming all the way

I like them for a game...60s-70s look.

 

[SHIZNITTTT]

Les Miles looks good right now I would think to LSU fans. 

 

[Christo]

I'm going to Grambling v Clark Atlanta at Soldier Field today. Does anyone think I'd be making a mistake standing for the National Anthem?

Good stuff. Highly recommend all CFB fans attend one of these.

 

[General Malaise]

How was the band at HT?  In college, when the wind was right, we would sit outside the frat house and listen to the Jackson State band play during games.

Lot of awful coaches out there right now. 

 

[gump]

At least Ogre's buyout is only $12M.

 

[GOB]

How does Louisiana not have the internet? 

 

[bagger]

Worst part about the Helton hire was pat Hayden KNEW he was about to get fired as AD and like the week before he locks Helton up to a long term contract.

nice parting gift

 

[Capella]

They don't believe in that kind of black magic. 

 

[bagger]

I mean look Usc had no coach and didn’t hire Coach O twice. He’s a great recruiter good assistant coach, but that’s it. LSU should have seen that as a red flag. I like coach o a lot as a person but wouldn’t want him as the head coach.

 

[Moe.]

At least Ogre's buyout is only $12M.

No way. That's hilarious.

They should fire him today but name him the interim coach for the rest of the season 

 

[bagger]

Lot of awful coaches out there right now. 

Running the spread option from the 1 multiple weeks in a row and never converting on the draw up the middle would be amazing shtick if it wasn’t my team.

at least after 5 weeks they finally ran a qb sneak. Sort of baffling Usc doesn’t even have a fullback on its roster.

 

[Dedfin]

At least Ogre's buyout is only $12M.

Beilema's is 15 something until 2018, then it falls to a comfortable 11.7.  Somebody running things should just fire Beilema and Jeff Long as a package deal.

 

[Christo]

How was the band at HT?  In college, when the wind was right, we would sit outside the frat house and listen to the Jackson State band play during games.  

The GSU band was the best part of the day. We were sitting right behond them in the stands.

 

[General Malaise]

Justin Herbert, Oregon QB, broken collarbone

YOUR FACE IS A BROKEN COLLARBONE!!!!!

was a decent little bounce back season while it lasted.

Good Ol Rocky Top

Good Ol Rocky Top

  all of these SEC teams firing their coaches trying to keep up with Saban has turned into white on white crime.    Friendly fire.

that hillbilly was immune to those arm punches

How have none of the other videos come out yet?  There were at least 8 cell phones up.

You think that video is somehow better from a different camera angle?   They have 8 cameras rolling on fat fetish porn shoots too, do you really need all angles of that to get the gist?

I was hoping to get a earlier start time. 

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

I was hoping to get a earlier start time. 

It started when the gentleman on our left expressed his opinion that string theory is a failed scientific theory and the fellow in the overalls disagreed.

 

[ragincajun]

When the LSU search was underway most wanted Jimbo or Herman.  We ended up with O.  Just an FYI that we hired the AD that was at Duke during their scandal.  People down here are looking for an immediate change from the AD down.  We went from a perennial contender to possibly last in the SEC west in just a few years.

My take is you hire Les as AD.  He is a great ambassador, and then you go drop 7-8mm on the coach you want.

 

[bagger]

The man in the overalls saw someone filming in portrait and did what any sophisticated gentleman would do.

 

[ragincajun]

I cannot wait to lose the rest of our games this year.

Why would Les possibly go work with the board that ousted him?  Also Jimbo wasn’t a serious option, and Herman obviously wasn’t interested either. It’s kind of stunning to not have a backup plan.

Agreed on the first point.  In my opinion Jimbo and Herman were serious options but I think our ineptitude to negotiate was what cost us with both.  This time last year LSU was a better job than UT given the rebuilding mode UT was in.  Now that has flipped.  We are stuck with O for at least another year.  What baffles me is why do you give a coach whom nobody else wanted a 12mm buyout clause.

 

[Capella]

LSU has never been a better job than UT. Not even once. 

 

[ragincajun]

LSU has never been a better job than UT. Not even once. 

Depends on your qualification of a better job.  Right now we are nowhere near the top.

UT has more $, but the facilities, fan base, and talent pool are comparable.

 

[L5UT1ger]

Not sure how i missed this thread

 

[L5UT1ger]

I mean...LSU could have hired almost anyone for that job.

I've no idea who their AD is ... but he should probably be fired.

He is the same guy that was at Duke for the lacross scandal...no, im not kidding.

 

[L5UT1ger]

At least Ogre's buyout is only $12M.

The rumor is that our AD scratched out Herman's name, replaced it Rosy Finch Boyz, and lowered the salary a little. He forgot to change the buyout.

Rosy Finch Boyz

 

[Jayrod]

The armchair coaching of college football is right in line with the armchair officiating.

People have no idea what they are talking about 90% of the time and the other 10% they couldn't do any better if they were in the very role they are criticizing.

[mr. furley]

Rosy Finch Boyz

this is kind of incredible

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Where did that name come from? Is it a reference to something known?

 

[psychobillies]

He is the same guy that was at Duke for the lacross scandal...no, im not kidding.

Yep.  We scooped him right up before anyone else could. 

We have internets, Capella!!  That's what we catch the shrimp with.  

 

[Yenrub]

Since when can they call a penalty after watching a replay in college football?

 

[ragincajun]

Yaw yaw the Shrimp boat captain.

Rosy Finch Boyz

Did you hear the Coach O show Wend?  It was glorious.

Nice TD name drop??
