Re: Wow! Jameis Winston investigated for sexual assault
When you put it all together...it certainly doesn't look good. These last few days have changed my view on the situation considerably. It's getting worse and worse by the moment.
It is awesome that we can legitimately have a conversation comparing all these glorious RB tandems. I might be biased just because they were the ones that started it all, but I would pick Ingram and Richardson. Ingram was so impossible to tackle, and young Richardson was just a beast. And...
I'm not defending the decision, but I believe that another issue at play here is the monetary problems that come with guaranteed tickets. Some of the smaller schools have problems selling them at the assigned "market value" and end up having to pay out of pocket to the point that they barely...
Our little back-to-back-to-back stretch was enjoyable. A bit disappointing that Lacey didn't get picked up by one of the teams (Green Bay, Denver, St. Louis) that might have wanted a RB late in the round, but hopefully he will hear his named called soon enough. Same goes for Jesse Williams...
Good for him. Certainly can't blame the guy for wanting to go play with his brother. I'd much rather deal with him at Ole Miss than as yet another ridiculous talent in LSU's DL.
I've got to admit, after being very skeptical at first, I buy Te'o's version of the story. He admitted lying to his Dad about meeting her, and the way he described it happening seems completely reasonable (they planned to meet, girl doesn't show up, Dad asks how it went, Te'o lies and says it...
Wow. This whole thing is absolutely bonkers, but the most stunning part is that he is actually denying involvement. Granting someone the absolute gullibility to fall into such a serious relationship, talk for hours on the phone, and become so emotionally invested in someone that he had never...
Gotta go with A&M, but both Ole Miss and Vanderbilt are close behind. All three fanbases are probably pretty darn happy with how their seasons went. And they all won their bowl games too.
Re: Brett B to Arkansas?
Not surprisingly, media folks are already (rightly) painting this one as another smack in the Big 10's face:

He definitely deserved that one. He completed an undergraduate degree and graduate work in accounting, at Alabama, with a stellar GPA while also being one of the best, most consistent, and most versatile lineman in all of college football. Doing either one of those things is impressive by...
Re: Brett B to Arkansas?
Guess I'm the only one who thinks that this is a really good hire on Arkansas' part? Bielema has been successful at Wisconsin, and his teams have been consistently good. Hard to argue with three Rose Bowl's in a row (even though this year's was admittedly a bit of a...
Te'o deserved it, in my opinion. Had to be either him or Jarvis Jones. Can't really argue with what he has done as the linchpin of one of the best defenses in the country. And 7 INTs for a LB also making that many tackles is just ridiculous.
The new system doesn't end this. While last night wouldn't have changed much for us, it would have been just as exciting for, say, Florida State fans who would now have a real shot of making it into the four-team playoff. Whereas back in reality, they are a 10-1 team just like us, but the...
Re: Dooley is Out At UT (per VolQuest.com)
I like Dooley, and I was hoping for him to be able to keep his job. They showed some promise in games like Georgia and South Carolina, but they just couldn't pull them out. I think he might have eventually righted the ship at UT, but if I was the AD...
Oregon, for sure. Hypothetically speaking, we would have a month to prepare and would be much healthier than we were for the A&M game, but their offense's performance against our defense is still noteworthy. It is clear that, while still really good, our defense isn't a dominant against...
Re: Bama #4 in New AP Poll; #5 in Coach's Poll
Thanks to Texas A&M's surge, the SEC now has five of the top nine teams and six of the top twelve in the AP poll. And yet there's a good chance that the championship will involve none of them because they all beat one another. Sigh...
Ha, yeah. That was my first immediate thought when I saw this thread title. While we definitely don't have nearly as many as Florida and Georgia (particularly when they play one another), it is safe to say that we have had some trash-talkers of our own, with Kirkpatrick at the top of the...
