Much like with everything else in life, the Euros seem to have more sense on how to do things in a fun atmosphere without sucking the soul out of the event.
15 minutes into bowl season and we got a swinging gate :allears:

I did not watch the entire Oregon/Boise bowl game, but let me tell you the last minute of the first half was loving bonkers after being extremely boring for the first 29 minutes.

quote:

The decision marks the end of a 34-year coaching career for Kill, who brought his patented Big Ten style of offense to the Banks. The Scarlet Knights operated with a run-heavy offense under Kill, which resulted in 147 rushing yards per game and played a major role in their 18 points per game average.

Kill was a solid coach and a nice fit for a program like Minnesota, this is a Kevin Love situation where gendo threw a fit before he’d ever done anything at Minnesota and poisoned the well here.

Yea, I think the biggest knock on Kill when he first got hired was the known health issues. He was mostly successful at Minnesota, but it was still funny to see gendo just rag on the guy non-stop. I was really surprised to see Kill had even gone out and gotten another coaching job after he resigned at Minnesota.

Pretty sure they'd beat Boise right now and this is without lane getting any recruits in.

The real problem is going to be the entire program getting arrested in the next three years

It's Kendall Briles who is making them good though, as much as all the sports media people carrying water for lane are trying to ignore that

You would know better than me because you follow NIU, was the epilepsy a known issue then?

I don’t really know about program development but Kiffin is a legit good offensive coach. Bryles probably is too but the offense is all lane.

Lane has said that Briles has full control of the offense and play calling and they are pretty clearly running the old Baylor offense.

Like I think lane is a good OC in his own right when he's not also dealing with being the HC but FAU isn't running his offense

It's a shame that Baylor ran such a toxic program and everyone involved is to one degree or another (mostly a high degree) horrible because that offense really is fun to watch.

It is! They're really fun to watch if you can ignore who the guy calling plays is. Baylor was my favorite team to watch before all that came out.

This was the guy who was accused of forgery. He (allegedly) paid with a counterfeit $100 bill using a fake name. I'd be interested in knowing what happened behind the scenes. Some folks are saying mistaken identity, but who knows.

I would never have guessed that Saban is 13 years older than Urban Meyer before looking it up. I have trouble believing it's true even after doing so.

I was 100% down for making a run at Calipari way back when that was even a slightly possible chance and everyone and their mother thought he was a dirty recruiter/whatever. I guess that was all the way before the Mike Anderson hire.

I'm quite a bit less ok with this idea even though Briles would just be an OC.

e: It won't happen anyway since apparently they're not even considering Freeze who just likes hookers.
