Can we do away with preseason rankings? They are really bad. Thanks.

Anals of History posted:Cross-posting because the Fulmer Cup thread's probably close to getting gassed: here's video of an MSU commit supplexing a security guard right onto tile: My favorite quote about this from an MSU fan. "Oh you guys are traditionalists. You don't send a weak rear end guard to keep security in his hallway. He was just being emotional and excited about the results from an AP chemistry exam. He's intelligent and better educated than 95% of you. This is entertaining, so much better than the boring guys who don't slam the guard on his head."

KICK BAMA KICK posted:I was hoping for somebody completely hapless. Like a gay organization is trumpting SUPERSTAR GAY QB TYLER MURPHY OF THE POWERHOUSE FLORIDA GATORS and everyone had to explain to them why that was bad. Ugh. That would be the worst. Because if he is the starter and is consistently terrible then AL.com posters and their conservative ilk will say "He's not getting benched because the liberal media durr durr durr...." But if he actually does get benched, then it will obviously be because he is gay. That shitstorm would be just dandy. Just let someone awesome be the benchmark leader for gay college players. Someone like Maty Mauk or TJ Yeldon.

Basil Hayden posted:As far as I can tell, this is the most shameful championship seriously claimed by any school in the sport. I don't know why the NCAA recognizes as major some of the selectors they do. It seriously boggles the mind. All the other ones that we claim prior to the UPI at least have some logic behind them. This one is just like "What?" Minnesota should be the only National Champion for that year. EDIT: This might be the one that UA uses as a fill in for 1966. We went undefeated and won the Sugar Bowl against a #6 Nebraska. But because of the civil rights movement, voters would not vote Alabama the Champion. So it instead went to 9-0-1 Notre Dame team.

Its not as simple as a straight 9 months, this will let you hone in on the the times to avoid/try for conception so you don't miss anything important, like Alabama's opening day against Western Carolina College for the Blind. Well, you're doing a better job than the last great TFF doctor: RandyRand.

Spiritus Nox posted:People who interact with recruits are the worst. That loving sucks for that kid. Poor guy sounds completely taken aback even in the article. This is the real root of the problem, and one of the main reasons I don't even pay attention to recruiting. It's ridiculous the amount of interaction people think they are entitled to with these kids. Also, I can only imagine the fallout that will occur from the first confirmed false flag attack on some high profile recruit.

I saw a decent suggestion for counteracting fake injuries. If you go down on the field and have to be helped off, you are out for 5 minutes, starting from the time you reach the sideline. And that is in 5 real time minutes, not game time. That way it takes you out for more than the next few plays, but it also doesn't keep you out for a long drive, and therefore does not punish players who may have an actual cramp.

MourningView posted:This is a serious bummer, yeah. In all honestly, I would have been in total favor of making it the permanent National Championship location. But, that could have never happened and still gotten the cooperation of the other bowls. I assume that if Pac 12 and Big 10 teams make the playoff in the same year, and the Rose Bowl is in play as a semi-final that those teams would meet at that venue. I know it'll be sad not seeing Wisconsin lose there every year, but I'm sure you guys will be able to cope. EDIT: Also, two WTF points. Why is it called the Atlanta Bowl? It's the Peach Bowl dammit. And why in the hell is Ty Willingham on the Selection Committee? Admittedly my knowledge of the man is limited, but from what I can tell he is a terrible coach and a destroyer of programs. You might as well put Lane Kiffin on that committee. ACoolT5 fucked around with this message at 15:05 on Apr 16, 2014 |

Even if shutting it down from bathroom warnings seems a bit over reactionary. Has anyone actually carried out an attack after warning about it? Pretty sure that kind of violence goes unannounced for obvious reasons.

KICK BAMA KICK posted:As rumored since the hybrid bowl/playoff system emerged, the Chick-fil-a Bowl is reverting its name to the Chick-fil-a Peach Bowl. I still prefer "The Peach Bowl"..... presented by Chick fil A, but I'll take what I can get in the age of the Trojan Minis Bowl presented by The Phantom Menace in 3D. Also, speaking of Atlanta, the new College Football Hall of Fame should be open by kickoff this fall. I'm pretty stoked about and will definitely be making a visit there before our game with West Virginia.

Mike Leach just doesn't give a poo poo does he? I love it. I think the only thing that comes close to what he is joking about is that game where Spurrier alternated QBs every play. Come to think of it, I would love to see Spurrier face off against Leach.

KICK BAMA KICK posted:Eh, claiming only '57 and '10 is pretty conservative far as these things go. I'm not gonna get hype about some numbers from history times going up on a banner, but if everyone else does this kind of poo poo, why not? I don't want Auburn to raise the bar on how ridiculous a claim can be but this is college football -- there's no point in holding some moral high ground. If we're talking to a recruit about tradition I'd rather just say "We've got five championships" instead of "Well we officially claim only two, but they're a nobler two than those other guys' championships." You got a case for 1913 and 1983, no doubt about it. But 1993 is a little out there with the post-season ban in place.
