2016 NCAA Football Thread

I hate to say it because I hate Alabama... but you are re-loading. There is no rebuilding with your recruiting classes. You guys re-load. Not to be confused with the shitty album by Metallica that just came on the radio..

 

I'm just really looking forward to having a QB for more than a single season again.

 

Hate to say it but.........^^^YEP!!

 

I can't wait till we can do that someday

 

Cowturd is pretty annoying with his senseless statements like the one mentioned. It's not the first time he's ever said the exact same thing either.

It's not bad for the game, its just part of it. If anything it should motivate other teams to do better. Bama isn't perfect and has its share of losses over the years. It isn't many, but when another school beats them it's a pretty big deal.

It also gives teams and fans "someone to hate", which is also fun. I remember when USC was great in the early 2000's and I couldn't stand them. When Vince Young and Texas knocked em off in the natty I was thrilled..and I'm not even a Texas fan.

Are the Yankees bad for MLB, or the Patriots for NFL? Were the Bulls and Jordan bad for the NBA in the 90's?

 

Yea the Defense for Bama is pretty damn deep

 

ya..but they did give up a lot of points

 

Kirby Smart invited Tom Herman and the Houston staff to Tuscaloosa before the season last year. Nick and Kirby asked him how OSU prepared to Play Bama and how they were so successful against their Defense. Tom said the plan was to run alot of side to side plays in the first half in the no huddle to get the Alabama lines gassed. It worked all too well and Bama made a bunch of adjustments including adding more defensive line depth and using smaller line backers that may not be able to stop the run as well but they can get to the flat faster. Safe to say the adjustments worked.

 

Herman will be a heckuva a head coach

 

Lawrence Phillips, the former Nebraska football star who was facing a murder charge, was found dead Wednesday morning in his California prison.
Authorities at Kern Valley State Prison in Delano, California, said they are investigating the death as a suspected suicide.
The prison staff was conducting security checks shortly after midnight local time Wednesday when they found Phillips, 40, unresponsive in his cell, according a release from the prison. Phillips was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead about 90 minutes later.

I think it was tom osborne who said he deserves a second chance

 

Yes indeed. I know Houston signed him to a rather nice extension but I still think he will be at the helm of a major Power 5 school in the near future.

 

Yep. They talked about him coming to UGA when Richt was first let go.

 

Humans are not supposed to be caged animals. But we can't let them all run free.

 

Herman is great but you guys had a great hire.

 

Agreef

 

I was torn between the idea of Herman vs Smart. I liked the idea of a coach with head coach experience but also like that Smart has so many years learning from Saban and the fact that he knows the area for recruiting.

 

sometimes good defensive coordinators don't make very good head coaches.

 

Gave up more points to Ole Miss than they did Clemson..

 

Ole Miss had quite a bit more luck as well...
