I wonder if you'd find similar feelings among any team that's a recent powerhouse coming into tough times or if that's something uniquely wrong with this team.

I'd imagine it's pretty likely, especially among seniors who know they're not going to the pros and are just playing out the year.

Yo, peep that shit

Some recruiting people said that a lot of Oregon's pitches to potential recruits the past two years was that they're championship ready and the offense takes care of itself, and supposedly that they actually practice like they believe it and take it easy. So it's really easy to deflate the entire thing with a bad loss

That sounds like one of those dreaded "Culture Problems" that come along with a coach, so either Helfrich has the kick it up a notch and show his players that they need to take it seriously and that championship ready means going full blast every day or he is going to lose out and be coaching at a flyover state directional school.

No, you're dark-side intergalactic encyclopedia salesmen. Unfortunately, the home office hasn't been quite upfront with you.

Is there a big payout for making the SECCG? Otherwise I don't see why they would forfeit the revenue from their biggest home game of the season to improve their odds at earning the right to take their Purdue reject QB to Atlanta to get blown out by Bama.

They literally just asked this question to Ron Magill, the zoo expert on Lebatard yesterday. Gorillas are herbivores whereas tigers are carnivores and hunt their meals. Carnivores win because they know how to kill, and a tiger would totally take out a gorilla simply because a gorilla doesn't have the skills to defend itself despite its strength.

err not quite, they're only 3 hours behind the pacific time zone (and that goes down to 2 hours behind in November since Hawai'i doesn't observe DST)

but in a general sense yeah it's cool. i was out there during the nba finals and after game 7 was over i still had time to get in a couple hours of surfing

Dan Mullen makes $4,000,000/year. I remember when you had to be a Charlie Weis-tier coach to earn that much money.

Why would you look at conference standings to gauge anything right now? NCSU is also ahead of Louisville in the Atlantic, Oklahoma is 2nd in the Big 12, Iowa is 2nd in the Big 10 West, Wyoming is tied with Boise State for 1st in the MWC, and the Aggies hold 1st place in the SEC West over Bama. Cmon.

I think the ACC is as strong up top as any other conference and they've got good depth to follow. The Big 10 is top heavy(very good at the top but little depth), PAC seems similar but with a bit less depth, SEC has an argument for sure but it's a whole lot of Bama continuing to carry them and the Big 12 is lol.

I don't think it's an indisputable statement but a lot of people still have bad attitudes about the ACC based off where the conference was 10-15 years ago and it's simply not the same anymore. It's a really good, deep conference and with renewed success at stalwart programs like VT and Miami, new success at UNC, Wake, Pitt, Louisville. and continued success from Clemson and FSU it should continue being a good conference.

The ACC has 1 extra good program right now because of Petrino. Miami/FSU/Clemson were always supposed to be good but Miami had been dumpstered for a decade, we can still ignore the basketball schools for the most part. Pitt and UNC are competitive but they get over-hyped because of low expectations, they are both worse than this year's meh Georgia team but get patted on the back for it because they aren't supposed to be any good.

VT I dunno but I imagine the advantage of a great DC who won't leave for a head coaching job combined with a good offensive HC is going to have them playing at near their max potential for a while.
