Watching this giant nerd declare his internet victories after every post (ie "Im done with this fool!") has entertained me and Adam for years. He went the extra nerd mile and had charts, MS Paint, and all kinds of shit this time, his jimmies were like, super duper rustled. I bet he types extra hard when he makes those posts.

I love living here. You should have seen the bar we were at full of UGA fans when they got Clemsoned. People were crying and shit. Another loss to a top team with a UGA roster of stacked recruits.....Mark Richts failure continues to bring great joy to my heart.

I wish I had a disappointing ten win a year coach to complain about again.

You think that...

This is a terrible argument. So Georgia lost to Clemson. They're still an insanely talented team that was 1 score away for playing for the national title last year. West Virginia was an incredibly mediocre 7-6, and they lost pretty much all of their significant talent from an average at best team. Georgia is going to end up going 10-2 or so this year, West Virginia will be lucky to get to 6-6. The only reason they have a shot at .500 is that the Big 12 is really, REALLY bad this year. There isn't a team outside of the two Oklahoma schools that would finish above .500 in the SEC or Pac 12(or maybe even the Big 10). You know it's bad when the ACC is better than your conference. If West Virginia were in the SEC, they'd be looking at a 3-9 type season this year.

The Big 12 is a dumpster fire. You can't replace Nebraska, Missouri, and A&M with West Virginia and TCU and even hope to retain the same level of respectability. The Big 12 doesn't miss Colorado much, they're terrible, but those other losses hurt bad.

Shaq makes our football team look like a pee wee league team when he gets next to them lol

LOL @ number 13 jumping

Richt being an average coach is never a terrible argument. For all the talk of Texas doing "nothing with all the resources in the world" - UGA gets a pass because #SECLOL. They still have nothing to fucking show for it - and the last time they were any good, Whatsa was drinking spoiled milk in the dirt behind his mom/aunts trailer.

The Big 12 is bad this year, but Mizzou and Nebraska wouldn't make it "good". A$M, maybe. Colorado? I'd completely forgotten that they existed. A$M > TCU > NEBRASKA > MIZZOU = WVU. What I find really weird, is its like the talent level in the conference just fucking plummeted in a matter of 2 years. The Big 12 has had the best QB play in the country for about a decade, and all of a sudden you can't find a guy who is worth a damn.

The sad thing is, out of all of those record-breaking QBs that have rolled through the Big 12 in the last decade or so (Young, McCoy, Bradford, Daniel, Gabbert, Freeman, RG3, Weeden, Tannehill, etc) for the most part they've all been very disappointing pros(jury is still out on RG3, Tannehill and Weeden, being so recent). Makes me wonder if defenses were just that bad(outside of Oklahoma) in the conference over most of that period, or if there were a lot of gimmicky "system QB" type guys. In Mizzous heyday of Daniel and Gabbert, I was an adamant opponent of the "system QB" stigma, but looking back on it now several years removed, I think that may be a fair assessment for most of those guys I listed.

Also, if you are going to rank football programs in their current state coming in and out of the conference, you pretty much have to go:

1) A&M(heisman)
2) Nebraska(Big 10 title game last year)
3) Mizzou(disappointing 1st year in SEC, but looking solid this year at 3-0)
4) TCU(disappointing 1st year in B12, and looking shaky this year at 1-1)
5) WVU(disappointing 1st year in B12, and looking like a dumpster fire this year)
6) Colorado(one of the worst FBS football teams over the past few years)

So while Mizzou, TCU, and WVU all had fairly similar seasons last year (all +/- 1 game of .500, all mediocre overall), the prognosis for this season is trending quite differently for them so far. Mizzou is trending up, TCU could go either way at 1-1 right now, and WVU looks like they might actually be worse than kansas in the conference, which is a feat in itself. At best, WVU is going to be on par with kansas and Iowa State this year in the basement of the conference.

There are like 20 decent NFL QB's. No conference is going to churn them out. I think Gabbert is a good example. He wasn't a system QB, he is perfectly capable of making every NFL throw, and mentally his reads aren't bad. He is an awful fucking QB though because he couldn't adjust to the change in speed. That half second makes a world of difference and it's a hump that very few can clear.

The train wreck that is Lane Kiffin is so much fun to watch.

LSU coaching legend Paul Dietzel died today at age 89. He was the head coach for our 1958 national championship and Chinese Bandits era. Also of note he also wrote the fight song for South Carolina and their current helmet logo.

USC perspective.

He will be remembered for building a national champion and the unforgettable defensive unit named the Chinese Bandits at LSU and guiding South Carolina to its lone conference football championship in its 120 years of football.

But those achievements only scratch the surface of an amazing career that Texas coach Mack Brown once called "a man for all seasons."

"He taught us to think big," said Columbia attorney Johnny Gregory, captain of the 1968 Gamecocks.

Dietzel blazed the trail into the future for USC athletics.

Although his nine South Carolina teams suffered a losing record overall (42-53-1), "his contributions to the University cannot be overstated," Tommy Suggs, Columbia business man and quarterback on the 1969 ACC championship team, said.

So Penn State is having their scholarship restrictions reduced, and if I had to guess, the bowl ban is going to be lifted after this season. Think I'm going to read some USC message boards, I'm sure Trojan fans will take this news very calmly.

The two QBs Lane Kiffin told to find somewhere else to go when he took over: Tajh Boyd and Bryce Petty.

Thanks Kiffykins.
