pillsburysoldier posted:Tell me about the strengths and shortcomings of your starting QBs, or your QBs battling to start for y'all. Connor Cook is considered one of the top 3 NFL QB prospects in the country and the second best quarterback in the Big Ten behind whoever is starting at Ohio State on a given Saturday. This confuses people that actually watch MSU because he has terrible footwork and makes some really bad decisions. BUT, he does have all the tools. Good arm, good mobility and (sorry) mental toughness. He is not rattled by interceptions or deficits. On an offense that lost big production in Jeremy Langford, Tony Lippett and Keith Mumphery, Sparty Nation turns its eyes to their leader on the field.

It's that time of year where ESPN writers are incredibly bored and are trying to come up with articles. One of the ACC columnists decided to try her hand at division realignment to even things out among the Atlantic and Coastal. Her "best bet:" Atlantic (The Georgia/Florida/Yankee Division): BC FSU GT Louisville Miami Pitt Syracuse Coastal (The Tobacco Division): Clemson Duke UNC NC State UVA VT Wake I wouldn't necessarily mind this, but it'd force Clemson to have to choose which yearly rivalry to keep... Either GT or FSU. Personally I don't really want to see either of them go, but I'd rather keep the GT rivalry alive. And in the immediate future, it would further weaken our already admittedly weak Strength of Schedule.

One of the ACC columnists decided to try her hand at division realignment to even things out among the Atlantic and Coastal. It's all dumb without a 9th game or getting rid of the permanent cross division rivalry. ACC just needs to pull its head out of it's rear end and either go with one of the way crazier division Pod formats (let's be innovative instead of an SEC copycat) or just do one of the two earlier ideas. The PAC12 & Big XII do just fine with 9 conference games, B1G is headed that way season after this one. It's basically just stupid that they refuse to address the obvious scheduling issues with the current setup.

Today, the NCAA delivered its "notice of allegations" to UNC regarding the fake classes scandal, meaning a hearing is upcoming. The NCAA acts pretty quickly when a student athlete is accused of selling autographs but this sounds like something that should have happened years ago.

My nephew got a scholarship to Rice (not for football or anything, just academics) which is cool. When my mom told me this I started talking about how their band is cool since it's the only thing I know about Rice other than it's a pretty good school. Which led to A&M because of that whole mess way back when, and explaining how Aggies are insane. Five minutes later the words 'grode jar' popped out of my damned mouth for some reason and then I had to explain that. To my mother, who is the sweetest lady in the world and said hell's bells once when I was 10 and I've never heard anything close to a curse from her since. I just said they put rotten food and stuff in there. I hate you TFF.

Raku posted:I thought for sure LSU or Florida would get Braxton Miller or Golson Thing is, similar to 'Bama/AU & a few others in the conference, LSU doesn't need a great or very good QB. Just someone serviceable to keep the defense honest while the RB's/OL just try to ground the other team into dust. Harris looked good in limited action last year, but was hurt during the AU game. Jennings looked abysmal most of the year. Hopefully another year under the (young) offense's belt will do the trick. The SEC West is gonna' be nuts this year. Every team has at least a pre-season legitimate claim as to how they could finish first in the division.

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/beckham-university-miami-discuss-stadium-partnership-001218969--mls.html David Beckham and University of Miami are thinking about doing a joint venture stadium for both MLS soccer and college football. Right now they are thinking of putting it right next to the Marlins stadium, which is where the old Orange Bowl was. I think this is a great idea, Miami might actually get something resembling a crowd and home field advantage again. Also, a stadium that is serviced by public transportation and it closer to the school and where people live than it is now.

Actually Alabama's almost perfectly 50/50 with run/pass, and we rely more on the QB every year it seems. Arkansas is really the closest team to LSU now in playing style. also yeah the West this year is horrifying. I'm not even worried about Georgia this year is how brutal every week is going to be. Glad we get the Bengals at home after our first bye cuz man the team is going to be worn out come November (plz be ready Derrick Henry)
