Wheez I wish I could tell you to root for the Northwestern Wildcats, but that would just lead to more sadness. Our running backs are looking pretty good. We'll probably play the wrong quarterback because of "seniority". Our defense will be ok. Finally, we don't even get to embarrass ND this year so really there is very little upside. Counterpoint: Hat. Also, you get even more reason to make fun of Tim Beckman forever.

Kent State: Players named Raekwon and Najee. Cheap beer sold at the stadium. A lot of dope NFL players. Cheap beer sold at the stadium. A rad coaching staff that has a lot of good minority dudes. Cheap beer sold at the stadium. Great uniforms. Good schedule. Cheap tickets. Attractive employees. Cheap beer sold at the stadium. Disappointing few seasons means you can get in on the ground floor before Flashamania runs wild over the continent. Also, we have cheap beer at the stadium.

Crotch Bat posted:That's not only the game, that's the exact play when Miami crumbled. When that play happened you just knew it was VT's night(that would have tied the game) and VT went on to rout them 31-7. Miami had a 38 game regular season winning streak and had won 46 of 48 games dating back to late 1999 before that night in Blacksburg. I don't know, I think the real crushing blow was in November 2005, right after Miami beat Virginia Tech in Blacksburg so thoroughly (that game ended the ESPN love affair with us forever), Miami then went and lost to GT by like 2 scores. I think that same weekend was when Florida State lost to UVA (which seemed to be the loss that destroyed them for like 6 years), but I might be wrong. Miami lost that GT game, and went on to get nearly shut out in the Peach Bowl by LSU, and they have been lost in the wilderness ever since.

They didn't reverse that trend with one victory--particularly when they potentially have 1 of the 5 greatest coaches in the history of CFB on the sideline. We need a few more of those to reverse that history. Preferably against Bama.

I can't even process the modern reality of Miami. Your fanbase generally blows and is full of gold-chained guido dickwads... But if you had a coach that was even moderately competent, you're automatically a top-15 team. This goes against my best interests as a UF fan, but watching Ed Orgeron built a giant wall around SoFla out of empty Tony Chachere's containers would be the most interesting thing in Coral Gables in the past decade.

Darius Millines, former Illinois wideout, says Tim Beckman made him use a team bathroom as a locker room as punishment after Millines sought to leave campus briefly to visit his cancer-riddled dad. Illinois has also reversed course and will now have an independent investigation of Tim Beckman. Mike Thomas needs to be fired for standing by this bumblefuck.

I got two texts about the DFO DUI today. One is just a regular Michigan alum that went something like "I'll wait until the blood tests come back. Somebody in the military so long wouldn't just do that" And the other from a Michigan alum who was also in the marines "Yeah, that sounds about right"

I mean for the purposes of this throwing the Arkansas game out is kind of silly since it's not like free tattoos are performance enhancing.

The height of Coog power was when Andre Ware and David Klingler passed for a billion yards a game in the run and shoot, but an older coach Bill Yeoman invented the veer option. In the last decade notable coaches have included Art Briles and Kevin Sumlin. And if that's not enough, Wade Phillips is (was, actually, but that record just fell recently) the career leader in tackles!
