Bye weeks before @KSU, SC; could be better but could be worse. How is KSU looking anyway?

Better. Sams is converting to WR so Waters is now the undisputed starter. Actual stability will be nice. WR is a definite strength. The defense is the defense; not as young as it was last year but the flipside is that we're still losing some seniors to graduation. In practical terms, we're probably not winning the Big 12 next season but 8 wins isn't out of the question.

For being such a terrible coach it really is bewildering how mad Tennessee fans are over him leaving. Like you are mad he left because he was a good coach or not because he was bad. Tennessee fans have managed to split the difference.

"he left before we could fire him and he took his recruits now i'm gonna go piss on this rock"


I think we all know the SEC is 1/1 as far as embarrassing photoshop signatures depicting a coaching staff go so might as well pencil in Bama for their 47th championship

Social media and some news media are running with this. Almost none of it mentions that the profile picture on that Etsy store appears to be a black guy. If a black guy makes a shirt celebrating Texas hiring a black coach, does that mean Texas fans are racist?

Not that hiring a black coach means there aren't racists in the fanbase, of course. But from the time the hire was announced most of the emphasis on race within the online Longhorn community was from black fans and current/former black players, etc. The most notable thing about it to me were the howls of "NOOO STOP TALKING ABOUT RACE THAT'S NOT PART OF THIS STORY I CAN'T HEAR YOU LALALALALA" that inevitably followed. That's a much better representation of the backwards thinking I've seen in the online fanbase than that shirt.

It's nicely illustrated by this:

I dunno, Michigan State has lost to Central a disturbing amount of times but was able to hang on to good basketball and eventually really good football. Maybe it doesn't apply in-state.

Musberger is getting a pretty raw deal if they're not even going to let him do a semifinal playoff game.

It's always been legal to return missed field goals, so it's not a new play. As was pointed out, it's usually a bad strategic decision so nearly all the time it's allowed to go out of the end zone.

Saban hosed up. That's really all there is about it.

Even then, Saban didn't really gently caress up as much as he didn't consider the possibility that the kick would stay in bounds

Not to belabor the point, but Tom Osborne is similar to Paterno in "coaches deified by their fanbases" and I wouldn't hesitate to say "gently caress him, he got what he deserved" if the same thing happened.

I just don't get how people can rationalize child rape with football wins.

"it was a lot of wins" + "well paterno didn't actually rape them himself"
