2011 NCAA Football Thread

Hell, I saw somewhere that we are picked preseason #1 in the country. And when we come out rolling in Jerry's house over Oregon, that thought is only going to spread. Watch out for the Tigers- if we don't stop ourselves (aka Jordan Jefferson, poor clock management) we have a damn good shot. I am really hoping that Zach Mettenberger ends up with the starting spot- but it'll take him a while to bump out JJ and JLee.

 

NOT FOOTBALL, but SEC related. Steal of the year right here:

sucks to be a Michigan fan right now...52-14

HAIL STATE!!

 

can't wait for what? to fumble the ball in the end zone in the final seconds of the game? . . . yeah, me neither!

 

X2 but as bad as I hate to say it, after the last couple of years I am starting to doubt Richt. When he came in I said he would bring us a NC and he has come so close a couple of times, but I just don't know if he will bring us back. I guess this year to me is going to tell a lot about his future. Don't get me wrong, I don't want him to go, but it's got to get better. I am starting to believe he is too soft. We have too much talent to not do better than last year. I'm hoping he will prove something in a big way this year, Go Dawgs!!!

 

im sorry who went to the ACC championship?

 

If this year is anywhere close to last year, Richt is gone. Which is a shame. I'd MUCH rather see us just get a new O-Coordinator. Bobo has gotta go. I'm hopin with a full season under his belt, Murray won't crack in pressure situations like the Florida game last year.

 

Only……. 84 days, 18 hours, 26 mins until kickoff… Geaux Tigers!
Also pretty pumped about the new head coaches hires for women's basketball and softball! ​

 

I've been saying that your nut-job coach was going to do y'all in for a couple of years now. I figured his luck has to run out at some point. I'm starting to think it never will. He has naked pictures of the devil or something.

All Georgia fans should be doubting him... He's done less with more than any other SEC coach.

Apparently Pat Murphy was the coach to be named later in the Nick Saban deal...

 

WVU future Big East and Orange Bowl Champs, no Stew=no restrictions and capable field management haha

 

Lol! do you mean lost the ACC championship?! . . . I still say yall paid off the refs at that Maryland game cause that was horse shit.

 

We always thought Saban had a horseshoe up his ass somewhere, but whatever Les does seems just as lucky. I've stopped trying to understand it and just hold on tight for the ride now.

Looks so, I guess the only team getting really screwed was the Dolphins. Good news for yall is, he was so bad in the NFL, he's not going anywhere else- ever!

 

I see so many Bama fans jump on us about letting in state talent get away and try to imply that we don't have the players. I've said for many years before Richt that we had the talent, just not the coaching. Nice to see an outsider see it as it is. I like Richt, but think he is too soft. Grantham on the other hand is hard core, if we can get that mentality out of an OC then maybe Richt can remain the nice guy and still have success. But I do think he has seen the light after last year, question is can he right the ship?

On the other hand Richt's best years were with Donnan's players, ever since we have went down hill. But Van Gorder's departure had a lot to do with that IMOP.

 

That's the truth. Van Gorder was an excellent D-Coord. It was easier to score more points than our opponents with Van Gorder than it was with Martinez. We can score points, even with Bobo leadin the offense, but it's his late game decisions that I think are screwing us over. One game that comes to mind is when we lost to Kentucky a couple years ago when he decided to run a pitch play at the 2 yard line going in and we were down by like 2 points. Too risky of a call in that situation, because of exactly what happened...we fumbled the pitch and lost the game.

 

Guess not after all

Yess!!!

 

War Damn Eagle! I'm hoping we have a decent year, obviously won't be like last year but we have room to grow now and some good players. I'm looking for Bama or Mississippi State to take the SEC. I think Bama will and will take the BCS, they look really good, but if anyone can throw them a curve ball this year it will be Miss State! I'm gonna hope and scream for Auburn...but I doubt we will have that good of a year.

 

I worked the gator bowl this past year and miss state looked sharp..put a serious hurtin on Michigan, one dude apparently attempted to jump off the stadium from Michigan.
