2013 NCAA Football Thread

that is the team i root for, but i dont sport an fsu av at the moment

 

Besides the Baylor-OSU game this weekend are their any other big games?

 

We play Arkansas

 

Should be a drubbing in your favor i would think.

 

Our two starting quarterbacks are injured.

 

I'll just step in once again to say hello.... Oh, and ROLL TIDE! See you at the championship!

 

Had an issue w/ it at work. Won't get into details. I 'nuked' the account... Went private, booted a bunch of followers, deleted all tweets I could. (Can't delete further back than late summer 2012, so it still says I have just under 9k tweets, but you can't see any of them b/c they've apparently been archived.)

 

This is why you work at work, instead of hang out with us on the Internet.

 

Your right in the sense that it doesn't look good, however Winston's side has never said he didn't do anything, from the beginning they have said that it was consensual. And then the part about being pushed away from the case is just speculation. But anyways at this point I think I'm just going to keep my mouth shit and not pay as much attention to the case until something actually happens besides a bunch of leaks from TPD.

 

Well... Had nothing to do w/ using the internet AT work.

Big difference b/w speculation and an accusation. I don't know how/if they can prove they were told not to pursue, but it's a lot more than speculation when they come out and say that it was done.

I want this to come to a conclusion, one way or another. DA says he'll determine about filing charges by the end of the week. I can't imagine the pressure on him right now... It's almost like he HAS to charge him with something... Otherwise, the entire country will think that it's a coverup for a football star, no matter what facts are used to come to the conclusion of not charging him.

I wouldn't want to be the DA.

 

I would hope something is reached soon, for the sake of the team, since if he gets charged, even if later found not guilty he has to sit. If Winston gets charged then the real NC game will basically be the Iron bowl, because Ohio State or Baylor at the moment dont have what it takes.

 

He won't have to sit, he'll be off the team entirely unless President Barron allows him to have some clause where he can only practice.

 

Why doesn't ohio state or baylor have what it takes?

 

Baylor might. OSU could keep it close for a half.

 

What are you basing it on. Don't get me wrong I am not an ohio state fan by any stretch but I do think they have a better team than a lot of people think. Hyde is a horse and Miller is looking really good. I watch them cause my wife is a big fan.

 

Style of play, competition, coaches, players. Miller is injury prone and Bama would tee off on him with blitzes he's never seen before. I'm not sure that OSU has an o-line to keep him upright. Urban Meyer is good, but he doesn't have the talent to outright beat Bama not is he good enough to out coach Saban. He's close though, give him a year or two and he might be able to. Don't get me wrong, OSU is a good team and Meyer is a great coach, but I don't think they can win a national title yet. Art Briles and Baylor run a very unique and diverse offense. They've got what it takes to try to beat the tide. I'm not sure they would, but they have the potential to do it. We'll know more after this weekend if they can get by okie state though.

 

I'm not convinced the tide will win out

 

Eye test. Being the state champion of ohio by beating bowling green, miami, cincinatti, toledo is great, but doesnt prove anything on a national stage.

Plus on a personal stage, it would be great to see Ohio state get denied since the Big10 was the biggest advocater of the BCS system, when if i remember correctly the SEC commish at the time proposed a playoff.

 

Some say it's the lack of speed....

Others say the lineman aren't as big/strong.....

I believe anyone can win on any day.....Just ask Tenn. this year after we rolled into town.

 

Baylor has speed and big linemen. And yes, anyone can win any given day.
