After the Louisville game, it might be time for FSU to move on from Jimbo. Hasn't won a big game in years, hasn't won a championship in almost half a decade. :smith: Don't know who we could get to replace him.

No joke, FIU is going to be legit in a few years. The amount of money being thrown around at that school in literally every department would blow you away. I wouldn't be surprised if they do go after someone like Les Miles to grow the program.

FIU needs a coach willing to stay a decade or so, to really build it up, and hell, Miles is getting old. Wouldn't be the worst place to retire. Not happening, of course.

Once again proving that he is Saban's best apprentice

He's the only one with any lasting success, right? I can't think of anybody else.

Besides, if he really wants a better job, as long as he keeps doing good at FSU, when Saban retires, Alabama might come knockin'.

ISU at least has institutional and fan support though.

Which is actually more sad if you think about it for too long. ISU tries really hard to win and is terrible. Purdue doesn't care and is terrible.

Serious question: Does Iowa have the population to have two middlin' to good teams?

Arkansas usually does pretty good, considering they play in the SEC West, and usually manage to steal one or two wins from the big boys every year. I can't remember if they ever beat Alabama, though. Probably doesn't matter, not many teams do.

Looked it up out of curiosity, in the SEC West under Bielema they've beaten Ole Miss 3 times, LSU twice, Mississippi State and Auburn once.

There's also some wins over SEC East teams in there, but for the west specifically.

That's not terrible, and they usually go to a bowl game. Arkansas is a small state without a lot of people, so they probably know not to expects eleven or twelve wins every year.

Yeah that AD is Pat Chun, he was a long time associate AD at Ohio State. He's quietly done a really good job at FAU in the overall picture.

He has.

The weird "small" (as far as football goes) schools in Florida can all get a little better, just by hitting on some of the three stars that might wanna stay in-state and play, maybe with the rare four everybody else missed on.

There's no reason why Purdue can't be a reasonably good 7 or 8 win team almost every year. They were never going to win a national championship under Joe Tiller, but he had them in bowls every year with one of the most exciting offenses in college football. If Indiana can get to being a bowl team, Purdue can get back there also. Who knows if Indiana stays above .500 in the future. I agree that Purdue ought to be able to compete with Minnesota, NW, Indiana, Illinois, and maybe Iowa every year.

Should be able to steal one from Michigan/Michigan State/Ohio State/Wisconsin/Nebraska every so often, too.

I don't understand the MacElwain hate. He completely turned the CSU program around pretty quickly. And then he quickly turned Florida from an unranked team to a top 15 team. Sure, the offense sucks but it sucked before he got there too and didn't his starting qb miss the year due to injury?

It's a weird fit for Oregon, but I don't look forward to the prospect of having to play against him again.

The problem is it still kinda feels like Muschamp's good years, where the team never felt/looked as good as its record showed, and that eventually caught up to them.

It was a combination of coaching attrition, promotion of Addazio to OC, inability to adapt offense to anyone other than Tebow, and poor QB recruiting/depth.

Wasn't that also about the time all the stories about the total lack of discipline on the team were starting to surface? Well, nationally, I mean. I lived in Gainesville at the time (Camelot apartment 4 life) and it wasn't a very well kept secret around town.

I'm assuming there's all kinds of poo poo happening at Ohio State we won't hear about until Urban leaves or something, because gently caress, he apparently didn't believe in discipline at all.

You won't hear poo poo because its OSU and Columbus is slightly less welcoming to criticism of university athletic programs than State College.


Apartment murders in Gainesville are kinda like meth lab explosions in Indiana. You have to be specific because they happen at an oddly disproportionate rate.


Also. Gainesville is a rat gently caress poo poo hole.

















GO Noles!

My first apartment in Gainesville, the day I'm moving in, me and my brother were carrying a couch inside, and some dude directly across the street got shot in the rear end.

Can't really hold that against Gainesville, though, since I was moving into Pine Ridge, the worst part of Gainesville.

A 5 star recruit is attending his grandma's 85th birthday somewhere in Florida and the coaches start to show up for recruitin':

1) Charlie Strong--woke the kid up bright and early and started trying to teach him lessons about life
2) Mark Richt--drives them all to church beforehand
3) Jimbo Fisher--left an envelope full of money in the mailbox cuz he had to speak to his attorney today
4) Jim McElwain--was on the side of the road next a car with a smoking hood, wearing flipflops and laughing for some reason, holding a drink
5) Butch Davis--showed up to the birthday party early and has been aggressively recruiting since it started
6) Lane Kiffin--emerges from the shadows smelling of cigarettes after the old people have gone home. There is lipstick on his unbuttoned collar. Clearly drunk, he pats the kid on the shoulder and says he'll see him on the beach... and the girls are going to be waiting. He laughs, and tells the recruit that if the cops ask who he was.... "Tell them it was Joey... Joey Saltwater."

The recruit commits to Alabama.

Same, but it happens at the annual Florida Classic between Florida A&M and Bethune-Cookman. (two HBCUs for you non-Floridians, and it's always a good time)
