Fuuuck. Our other veteran B-Back left after last season too because he was frustrated at splitting time with Mills.

This significantly increases the odds that a man named Quaide Weimerskirch will get significant playing time.

Randaconda posted:You're not. We all saw how the Big 10 teams started losing as soon as they played good teams in the post-season instead of the soft Big 10 schedule. Penn State lost on a field goal set up by a last minute interception. USC gave up 49 points. The only team that scored more on them was Alabama. Even Florida State only had 31. It's not like it was a lopsided mismatch.

I thought this was a decent little read about Frank Broyles, who I didn't realize was such a visionary. I mean he foresaw all the poo poo we don't like all that much about college football like how much money was in it for Arkansas to take off for the SEC, but he still saw it coming. quote:On June 17, 1990, the Arkansas Gazette’s Orville Henry, Broyles’s longtime confidant and the O.G. of sportswriting around these parts, wrote: “The SWC’s eight teams accrued a gross of $8 million in ancillary revenue; the SEC’s 10 teams amassed $18 million. There is a projection that an expanded SEC with Arkansas and one to three other teams would amass $40 million from TV sources already in place,” far outpacing the SWC’s TV package. Interesting he was in on the money and realized how important conference affiliation would be to TV that quickly. There's also this: quote:Broyles took a calculated risk by jumping ship. “We had to move. We were going to get left out and the people told us we would be an independent if we hadn’t joined the SEC when we did,” he told Mattingly a few years ago. “When the Big 12 formed, we would have to be an independent and our program would go all the way to the bottom. Being in the Southeastern Conference kept us competitive in recruiting.” but I'm not 100% sure he wasn't bullshitting or speaking in hindsight. It's one thing to realize Texas was gonna burn the SWC to the ground and another to realize Ann Richards was going to strongarm Baylor into the Big 12 before any of that went down. Arkansas was (and is) a much better get for a conference than Baylor.

Which means a random 1* WR will become Jerry Rice and some 2* tank will bulldoze the division. GT predicted to be garbage = division championship. It's science. Also they'll beat Clemson.

In more minor GT news today, Paul Johnson said he knew which QB he's going to start against Tennessee, but won't reveal it publicly yet. GT fans had been pretty confident our starter was going to be Matthew Jordan (who you may remember going into Blacksburg last year with no expectations and upsetting VT) but recent practice reports had cast some doubt on that, with CPJ saying none of the QBs consistently "stood out" in fall practice. It's still probably going to be Jordan but there are 3 other guys who could make a case to start and I'd be happy with any of them.

The Packers proved you can completely update an old stadium to modern standards. Though the Bears proved you can ruin one too.

Time posted:The best coach you ever had went .500, congrats Schiano inherited a rebuilding job. His normal season was 8 wins and he wasn't a particularly good coach. That's the norm for a mediocre coach at Rutgers. Frank Burns in the 70s was actually considered a far better coach, he was very competitive when Rutgers did play teams like Tennessee and Alabama in his day. MourningView posted:Afterwhich they were mostly really bad. Their records fell off a cliff once they stopped almost exclusively playing schools that are now in the Patriot or Ivy League until Schiano gets there. Not true. Randaconda posted:lol at claiming Rutgers is anything but a historical bottom dweller. Again, spend five seconds on Google.
