Eulogy 01-04-2011, 11:10 AM A playoff would obviously be much better, but there is no way anyone could argue that TCU deserves a spot over either Auburn or Oregon.

Yea, I'll backtrack from that statement a little. RIG, mostly impossible. ATTEMPT TO RIG is another thing.
Eulogy 01-04-2011, 06:43 PM i can count on one hand the number of times i've been 100% sure that NFL or college football officials made the wrong call following an official replay. i don't really know what you're talking about.
duovamp 01-04-2011, 06:46 PM Isn't anybody cheering for their favorite team at an event attempting to rig or "influence" the game in some way? Way I see it, cheering or wearing a jersey or bribing a referee is just showing your dedication to the sport and a display of team loyalty.
hnibos 01-04-2011, 06:49 PM PI's are one foul that have a big impact on the game and aren't reviewed. Charges or lack thereof also can have a big impact at certain part of the game, and those bad calls are seen way too often in the NBA. As far as replays go, the way Pittsburgh beat Miami earlier this year was a pretty egregious mistake on the part of the officials IMO.
But yea alright, we can just chalk all that up as "referees are human too!"
duovamp 01-04-2011, 06:50 PM I done seen some bad calls against Pittsburgh in my day. Let me remind you of a certain coin flipping incident.

Arkansas is beating themselves down. Our receivers can't catch a cold and our DC is a moron. I was afraid our defense would stink the place up, and my worst fears are playing out. But I'm not impressed with OSU at all. They're not outplaying us physically by any means. We just aren't executing on offense and our defensive scheme is terrible.

They did nothing different in the second half offensively. Arkansas just adjusted to it and shored up all the huge gaps in their scheme that OSU took advantage of early.
Other than Cameron Heyward, who is a beast, Arkansas was clearly the better team top to bottom. They got OSU's best shot, played absolutely terrible, and still should have won despite it.
sppunk 01-05-2011, 10:51 AM By not adjusting, Ohio State turned it diwn. Tressel only adjusts when forced to, like midway through the fourth.

So you're telling me that they played well in the first half? C'mon. I don't think there should be any debate what their potential is when you compare the first half to the second.
Arkansas was damn close to being a great team this year. If they don't choke away the Bama game in the 4th quarter, then the referees don't favor Auburn so heavily a couple weeks later because both teams would have been undefeated and Arkansas probably wins. They played their worst game of the year last night and still were a single play away from winning a BCS bowl. They're for real. Petrino's staying a long time, and we aren't losing a whole lot (losing Mallett very well be good for us given his erraticness in big games).

Trotskilicious 01-09-2011, 02:53 AM oh come on. no one could have done anything for that team this year.
dude he wasn't just bad he was atrocious. he didn't throw a lot of interceptions but he didn't throw the ball for anything any yardage RYAN FITZPATRICK is better than he is? That's not a starting quarterback.
besides the fact that he was a much hyped loser quarterback that came out of a much hyped loser team
i mean i'm sorry that your team sucks real bad but you gotta face facts eventually
Trotskilicious 01-09-2011, 02:54 AM garret gilbert is better than jimmy clausen and garret gilbert sucks
Trotskilicious 01-09-2011, 02:56 AM Not sure what happened to A&Ms defense, other than forgetting how to block

look at the rookie seasons of some of the best quarterbacks of the last 30 years. then shut up and have some patience. jesus.
samuel redman 01-09-2011, 11:57 AM if you look closely, Clausen was only lined up with a 2 receiver spread on third downs. you can't play the position incredibly good with that formation, especially for a rookie.
jczeroman 01-09-2011, 04:47 PM Ugh. Again, if the receivers could catch anything we'd have won going away. We left too many points out there. If the D had come to play for two halves it wouldn't have been close.
We'll be back.
Yes, dropped passes hurt you. But that is just a silly statement. When you get your head in a few days, you'll agree with me.
jczeroman 01-09-2011, 04:49 PM lol at andrew luck
For going to Stanford, he's pretty stupid.
jczeroman 01-09-2011, 04:50 PM Brotha can't even count Benjamins.
Eulogy 01-09-2011, 04:55 PM yeah. you can finish your degree some other time if you really want to. the odds of being the projected #1 draft pick two years in a row are fairly slim.
everyone wants to differentiate between him and locker, but i don't really see why. if nothing else, some other QB will make a name for himself next year. and the team who gets the #1 pick might not want a QB.
it's just stupid from every angle.
Trotskilicious 01-09-2011, 07:12 PM kind of like thinking jimmy clausen is anything more than the guy who carries a clipboard
i like this huge sample you want me to find. instead of comparing him to his contemporaries like Mark Sanchez, Joe Flacco and Matt fucking Ryan you want me to dig back 30 years? LOL NO. Rookies can play, yes the Carolina Panthers were absolutely horrible but he was part of that horribleness. You stick that fuck on a real team he still won't be able to throw downfield.Shit I just remembered his draftmate: Colt McCoy played well and he plays for the browns. Do they have any more weapons at wideout than the Panthers do? No, but he is a better quarterback who has an NFL future.
Brady Quinn is a better QB than Claussen and Brady Quinn SUCKS.
samuel redman 01-09-2011, 07:22 PM John Fox didn't want him, Richardson basically said to draft him with their 2nd rounder
Eulogy 01-09-2011, 07:23 PM jesus christ trots just shut up already. i get it, you really hate anything remotely associated with notre dame. you can chill out about it.

Trotskilicious 01-09-2011, 08:06 PM that claussen can't play in the nfl
this sounds like homerism but it's not: compare him to Colt McCoy and ask yourself how much blame you can really place on the rest of the team.
Trotskilicious 01-09-2011, 08:07 PM and for the record: colt mccoy will be a back up in 3 years time, claussen will be out of the nfl

yes. i turned it off. i think last i heard they were 10 of 12 from 3 or something. wtf.
Now teams have a blueprint to shut down ND too, at least until Scott comes back. Take away Hansbrough and Abromaitis and laugh while the rest of the team falls all over itself.

you can't honestly believe they're better than auburn or oregon. or even stanford.
Eulogy 01-10-2011, 11:47 PM Notre Dame could have gone 12-0 with TCU's schedule. the win over Wisconsin is impressive to a point. But it's just not enough to convince me they are anywhere close to the best team in the country.

Look at TCU's schedule. Maybe Oregon St. That's it.
Eulogy 01-11-2011, 01:00 AM Sagarin gives TCU the 80th best schedule and ND the 23rd. And I think that's probably generous to TCU.

Banana 01-11-2011, 01:31 AM What a joke.
Oregon calls a time out. Auburn decides to pull their kicker so that they can put Cam Newton and the offense back in there to try to go for the touchdown. It was at that point as Cam Newton was making his way onto the field that Comcast decided was a perfect time to have the cable go out.

Tchocky 01-11-2011, 10:46 AM Congrats, Auburn.
Apparently Michigan is interviewing Les Miles for their HC job. Why Miles would take it is beyond me, seeing as he didn't want it three years ago when the job was more appealing...so why would he want the job now that Michigan's football program is a massive reclamation project?
I was one of the few that didn't want Michigan to fire RichRod. Yeah, he didn't exactly endear himself to the U of M faithful these past three years with his antics both on and off the field, but I believe that you need to give a college football HC at least four years. I'm not a fan of the 3-3-5, but the plain fact is Michigan's defense was young and inexperienced; so of course they were gonna play like crap. And by firing RichRod, Michigan has pretty much kicked the one good thing about their offense to the curb (Denard Robinson). Michigan would have had a better squad next year now that RichRod's recruits had a season or two to play and develop in his system. Now Michigan's going to have to blow everything up and start all over again.
The silver lining is, if the Wolverines do hire Miles, I think Robinson could play in his system, though I think Devin Gardner would be a better fit.
Dogfighter28 01-11-2011, 11:41 AM Four years is way too long to wait to be good
Trotskilicious 01-11-2011, 11:49 AM yeah that guy ruined that team
they weren't that bad they just had modernization problems, there's no reason he couldn't have kept Mallet. I think that's probably one of the reasons that they're so mad, is how good he turned out.
BUT NO RICH ROD NEEDS THAT OPTION SHOTGUN OR ELSE WHATEVER. i mean you can't go from one stodgy coach that forces his own system to a young coach that forces his own system. good coaches adjust their gameplan to the talent not the other way around.
sppunk 01-11-2011, 11:50 AM The notorious Michigan clock operators will have fits with Miles. I think UM fired RichRod knowing violations were coming soon and they didn't want to deal with that anymore.
Plus his team was so slow to make adjustments. Miles can recruit and play in the B10 but as always will blow 3 games a year with complete inept clock management and playcalling.
Trotskilicious 01-11-2011, 11:57 AM i mean that's part of the reason texas was running on fumes since Vince Young because the OC kept pretending Vince Young was playing quarterback, and it was ok with Colt but once he was gone then they just completely bottomed out.
Dogfighter28 01-11-2011, 12:11 PM Not to be a homer or anything but if Saban and Chizik can do it with the piles of shit they inhereted in less time then RichRod has absolutely no excuse.
Trotskilicious 01-11-2011, 12:39 PM auburn was never a pile of shit, really, were they? if anything they had one bad season.
Dogfighter28 01-11-2011, 12:50 PM Both teams were pretty big messes
I mean, Kodi Burns was Auburns fucking quarterback, remember? Rather, they had a two QB system. There's a reason Tuberville was fired.
Trotskilicious 01-11-2011, 01:26 PM no i don't remember, i don't really give a shit about anything but texas.
Tchocky 01-11-2011, 02:00 PM Miles, as expected, is not going to Michigan, according to ESPN. Yay, we're probably gonna get that bum Brady Hoke from San Diego State, who is exactly the kind of boring, vanilla, Lloyd Carr-esque coach that the good ol' boys who support Michigan's football program and hated RichRod want. Hurray for eternal mediocrity.
sppunk 01-11-2011, 02:52 PM Hoke's been rumored for so long. Yeah lots of fans will be pissed but it is what the system wants, apparently.
Trotskilicious 01-11-2011, 02:56 PM as long as they aren't so slow as they were under carr. you don't need an offensive system that reinvents the wheel, you just can't play smashmouth anymore really.
Tchocky 01-11-2011, 03:05 PM as long as they aren't so slow as they were under carr. you don't need an offensive system that reinvents the wheel, you just can't play smashmouth anymore really.
But that's the type of coach that Hoke is. He's a smashmouth coach.
If Hoke is hired, I expect the defense of Michigan to improve significantly, but what they'll gain on defense they'll lose and them some on offense.
I've been talking about this with a friend of mine on Facebook (he's an ND fan), and he thinks that getting rid of RichRod was the right move. I said that getting rid of RichRod was the right move if someone better could have been hired. For example, Notre Dame getting rid of Charlie Weis was a good move because Brian Kelly was available and interested in the job. In contrast, Michigan getting rid of RichRod would have been the right move if someone like a Harbaugh or Miles would have been available and was interested in the job. But that wasn't the case. Brady Hoke is not an upgrade over RichRod. At all. All they've done is shot themselves in the foot in regards to the one good thing the team had going for it.
Trotskilicious 01-11-2011, 03:10 PM i enjoy this though i want michigan to suck
that's what you get for acting like you should play in the national championship against a team you just lost to

I was pissed when I found out about that. But then, I've never really cared that much about college basketball. And say what you will about Lloyd Carr, but he did run a clean football program when he was Michigan's coach.
Trotskilicious 01-11-2011, 08:58 PM yeah i dunno why anyone would feign innocence when you land a recruiting class of five guys, four of which eventually played in the NBA and three of which were actually pretty goddamn good.
that shit doesn't happen without cheating
TuralyonW3 01-12-2011, 01:18 AM chizik won a national championshop as UT DC iowa st. was just his first head coaching gig.
jczeroman 01-12-2011, 03:31 AM Enjoyable game - fun to watch. I think no one expected a defensive battle like that. Incredibly fast defenses and offenses both of which underperformed. If you're going to lose a game, I have to say it was a decent way to lose - come back to tie it up, then score two, but lose it on a field goal with no time remaining. Auburn had just *that* much more desire I think - and it is summed up in that running play where their back refused to go down and set up the winning FG. Some folks are complaining that he wasn't down (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=VqkAEWVNj6I), but I think it would have been tough to make that call and there would have been a lot of (justifiable) outrage.
I never expected to play for the natty, and I am plenty happy with the effort - although winning would have been preferable. The team with the ball last won.
Eulogy 01-17-2011, 01:01 PM In both (obscenely early) pre-season rankings I've seen, ND has been in the top 15. They got two commitments from monster DE's over the weekend.
