2016 NCAA FB Regular Season

[lupi]

LSU Auburn looks to be a tight game.

Notre Dame found out what happened when you suspend or kick out a third of your starting defense.

 

[lupi]

LSU attempting to score a go ahead TD with just a couple seconds left.

 

[lupi]

OMFG...LSU gets a penalty but there isn't a 10 second runoff, and on replaying the down (with only 1 second on the clock at start) somehow manage to get a TD with time long since expired, crazy.


And now it goes to bizzaro land as it is later overruled as snap not in time.

 

[lupi]

Ark-A&M game quite good and tough, amazing strip at the 1 for what was about to be a TD.

And Stanford choking against UCLA?

 

[Hugh Jass]

Good god my school sucks...but we may have allowed Mark Stoops to save his job...you're welcome UK fans...enjoy your ass raping by the Tide next weekend.

Or you could do this.

Now that LSU done for the year, looks like time to prepare for next year.

Can't get worse with all the talents they have on the roster. Just need a decent coach. See how well/decent the defense plays the last few years. Confirmed by BR newspaper and why Miles was fired (how pathetic the offense was recently) - http://www.theadvocate.com/baton_ro...9401-c7a5b0a63245.html?sr_source=lift_amplify

LSU scored one offensive touchdown in each of its two losses, and Cameron’s unit failed to score in the fourth quarter through four games, the only Football Bowl Subdivision program to have done that. The Tigers rank 119th out of 128 FBS teams in passing yards, 111th in total offense and 110th in scoring offense.

I was tired and did not post this link from last night, Mile was running out of "luck" - http://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/sports/lsu/article_12529a9e-829d-11e6-b36e-bf7a3bb0ad08.html

We will see. It's going to be interesting to see who they get to replace him. USC, and maybe PSU also might have vacancies by the end of the year as well.

Week four was awesome, turned out to be way more exciting than I thought. So many good games, and lots of college football craziness. Eastern Michigan is 3-1!!! (won't last...but still, it's been fun). 6-6 is maybe doable?

Of course, only time will tell. I don't think LSU will crash and burn with all the talent they have but again, stranger things happened before. My opinion about Miles (about his coaching ability and not as a person) went down a lot after LSU choked vs. Bama in the national championship a few years ago and then the same inept offense over and over again year after year. Miles and his staff have the top 10 salary in college football but did not deliver a top 10 performance for the last few years.

I really want Oregon to be the head coach at LSU and hope he will be able to turn the ship around. Stay tuned.

I don't think this really has a chance of happening barring something drastic like LSU winning out goes down. I also think that if he doesn't get the job, he might move on from LSU, which I wouldn't like to see happen. For some reason, I have a feeling that Lane Kiffin will be coming to Baton Rouge, and I'm not sure I like the thought of that.

Kiffin was quite young when given the reins at Oakland and still quite immature at UT (and USC). I can't imagine that he hasn't grown significantly both personally and professionally by spending so much time with Saban. He's a great recruiter and that's 90% of the job in college football. LSU could definitely do worse.

Orgeron did a good job with USC under the circumstances after Kiffin's firing, but there has to be a reason he gets passed over for HC jobs over and over and over. He was certainly unimpressive at Ole Miss during a time when Bama was mostly down (though LSU was peaking). He's also a top tier recruiter but pulling Kiffin would serve a double purpose by possibly weakening Bama and reinvigorating the program. Maybe Bama brought Sark in as a pre-emptive move in case Kiffin left after this year.

Well right now the HC of Houston (Tom Herman) is a hot property and LSU is willing to put some good money to change his zipcode.

 

[NuclearNed]

I hope TN figures out how to play 2 halves of football by the time Bama rolls around. If they do, Bama might go down...

You mean Orgeron right? I first read that as you wanted Helfrich to be the coach at LSU.

I'd be surprised if its Herman, I just don't see him leaving Houston, especially if they get in the Big 12. But LSU talent with his coaching ability is a scary thought.

 

[Drako]

Some good games coming up this weekend.

http://www.gameviewingguide.com/

(6) Houston vs UConn tonight might be entertaining, but probably going to be a blowout.

(7) Stanford vs (10) Washington on Friday is huge for the P12 North. I'm going to have to have to pick Stanford for this, just because of McCaffrey.

(3) Louisville vs (5)Clemson and (8) Wiscy vs (4) Michigan on Saturday. Hoping Bucky Badger beats the crap out of the Weasels.

And of course, Rutgers vs (2) Ohio State.

 

[lupi]

I may try and check out that washington game, was surprised to see them after a decade of ineptitude to finally be back on the positive side without any real discussion about improvement yet.

LOL. Yes, the big guy with that booming voice/accent. I like him but we will see if he can make it by the end of the season (Bama, Ark, A+M, Florida are no pushovers).

Hey, money talks. I do not know how much Houston is paying its HC but I think LSU has the money to pay him. Heck, Les made over $4M this season and his team was just average (barely). That's why he was fired. Top 10 salary = .500 = bad.

LSU has the money, the fan support, the talent, the defense, very much everything but a thing or two... just need a decent offense and special team => able to compete. I don't demand to win championship every year but at least able to compete decently is not much to ask with all the money LSU is paying out.

 

[lupi]

Uconn should be asking about mercy rules soon.

 

[Drako]

Yup, that game turned out like I thought. At least UConn scored a TD per half, which is a good sign for them.

I'm looking forward to the game tomorrow night to see if Washington is for real.

They do have a PR issue though. From what I read last fall when they were talking about firing Miles and paying out his contract (as well as hiring a new guy at $6M+), the university system is essentially bankrupt. So while the booster organization usually covers a lot of the expense and not the school, it still paints a bad picture in the public eye. It's done now, though...the question is whether Herman wants the job. I think he's from Southern California but I don't know if he's looking to go back.

They (LSU) should fire Miles last year but anyway, LSU does have the money (the state and the LSU school system are another the story) to pay for a new HC. LSU football made so much money that it was able to cover all of its expenses and then pay back the school a few million per year. Try that with soccer or gymnastic.

Points and laughs at Hugh. Can't point and laugh at the wife because I'll end up on the couch.

Tomorrow might be very painful watching Clemson. Well, it's already been painful so far this year but it might be like a migraine, appendicitis and hemorrhoids at the same time.

 

[lupi]

And Wow, Washington about to go up by 3 TDs.

Tried to get fancy and the goal line and going to have to settle on a FG, damn.

 

[lupi]

Washington defense just eating them up.
