  1. Paul Finebaum is sitting in his chair and his feet are dangling in the air about three feet off the ground.
  2. Yeah, apparently that volcano chilled out and the game in Ireland went off as planned. I still have no idea why they're playing over there. It made sense for Notre Dame.
  3. Whoa, Dee Hart is going off. Happy for him. Had the worst luck possible at Bama.
  4. Is that Dave Wannstedt or Dennis Farina?
  5. Even Tarantino has tacitly acknowledged that DEATH PROOF isn't that good. While he was doing press for Django, I remember one interview where he didn't outright say it stunk, but he pointed to it and said, "I don't want to ever make a movie worse than that."
  6. I wish everyone hadn't read so much Dan Brown.
  7. Connor Cook was looking awesome for Michigan State...and then suffered a gruesome hit on his knee that knocked him out of the game. Could be ANOTHER Big 10 playoff contender down.
  8. I'm a bit concerned about it. I think WVU will be a bit better than last year. And Dana's offense is so wacky. He gives defenses a lot to look at, and Bama's veteran MLB, the guy who would be responsible for making sure everybody knows what they're doing, is out due to an NCAA violation. It's not inconceivable they could score 20 or so points. And I have literally no idea what to expect out of the offense. Last year, I'd be like, "Yeah, Bama will score 50 if they have to and win," but I'm not sure this team will score that much on anybody. There are 2, maybe 3, starters on the OL that I don't think will be starters by the end of the season. The tight ends are still pussies. And lord only knows what to expect out of Blake. Could be a lot closer than the experts think, as the saying goes.
  9. Saban basically confirmed last night that Blake Sims would start vs. WVU. Hopefully that leads to more of this... and less of this...
  10. While it's true he hasn't molded a superstar QB at South Carolina, I'd say he got the absolute most out of Connor Shaw over the past four years. Last year, Shaw accounted for 3,000 total yards and an astounding 24-1 TD:int ratio. Those numbers might not have the wow factor you get in the video game numbers of these spread QBs, but I think most teams who didn't have JFF or Jameis at QB last year would've been thrilled with those numbers. The difference between Spurrier's offense at Florida and at South Carolina isn't the QB (pretty much all of his QBs at Florida were just "some guys" who went on to be professional insurance salesmen and sports talk hosts, not successful pro players), it's the talent at wide receiver. He's had a few great receivers (Alshon, Sidney Rice) at SC, but he hasn't had the stockpile of elite guys that could burn up every secondary in the country like he had at Florida. There's also the issue that while the Fun 'n Gun was the spread offense of the 90's, blowing the minds of unprepared defensive coordinators on a weekly basis, it's fairly passé by today's standards, and there are, literally, decades' worth of tape on how to defend it.
  11. There is literally nothing else to talk about. It's hard to poopoo 500 yards passing, but, damn, A&M receivers were running wide open all night. Not much threading of the proverbial needle required to get all those yards.
  12. LOL Bo Wallace gonna Bo Wallace. You don't see to many guys throw three interceptions in the first HALF of the first game.
  13. I'm thinking we're not going to be hearing so much smack out of Spurrier the rest of the season.
  14. But not as pitiful as South Carolina's defense! I knew they were going to struggle a bit due to all their losses on that side of the ball, but they look totally clueless out there. Some of the worst defense I've seen.
  15. Crowd at the Ole Miss/Boise game is pitiful.
  16. This game is a classic example of Spurrier being his own worst enemy. Comes into the game set up to have one of the top rushing attacks in the league...and all he wants to do is throw bombs. He's good to do that one or two games every year.
  17. Apparently A&M now has the exact opposite problem: can't cover anybody more than 10 yards downfield.
  18. That was the original rumor. Another report came after that saying that Palpatine was the villain, but that Ian McDiarmid wasn't being brought back to play the part. This led to the speculation that the cloaked cyborg-looking figure from the leaked production art was rebuilt Mecha Palpatine.
  19. There's no conceivable way A&M isn't better on defense this year, especially against the run. But for real, South Caralacky is gonna go for 250 at least.
  20. IT'S FINALLY HERE. TIME TO GET EXCITED, FELLLAS. YO, LANE, YOU EXCITED?
  21. Anybody else's enthusiasm for this drop off considerably when they heard the rumor that Mecha Palpatine was going to be the villain?
  22. All I really need to know about Michigan is that they have a young offensive line, and their new OC only knows one pass play: three verticals.
  23. I'm having trouble filling in my bracket. Obviously, Florida State is in (ACC is trash this year), and the SEC champ will get in. But who else? My top 2 B1G teams after the fall of Ohio State are Michigan State and Wisconsin, but they both have huge early sesaon OOC showdowns (@Oregon and vs. LSU, neutral, respectively) where losses (both are likely losses) could put them behind the eight-ball in that one conference loss could effectively eliminate them from playoff contention. Elsewhere, the Pac-12's three top teams (Oregon, UCLA, and Stanford) all play each other during the regular season, and then UCLA and one of the other two might have to play each other again in the conference championship. They could cannibalize each other. If Oklahoma is what everyone thinks they'll be based on the Sugar Bowl, they should walk over a down Big 12, but if they revert back to what they were mid-2013, then...Baylor, I guess. Though there's no way Baylor matches what were *by far* Briles Era bests in offensive/defensive ppg this season. And you know what team everyone - and I mean everyone - is sleeping on? Florida. Everybody has been hard at work shoveling dirt on their grave since before last season was even over, but they were ridiculously snake-bitten with injuries last season. Barring another horrific streak of injuries, I expect them to be back closer to what they were in 2012 when they went to the Sugar Bowl. For now, I'm gonna say... Florida State Oklahoma Auburn (SEC champ) Florida Of course, there will be a lot of opposition to having two teams from the same conference in the playoff, but if the Pac-12 kills itself and the best B1G teams get picked off OOC, then who else is out there? You gonna put the AAC champ in there LOL? And if Florida knocks off FSU at the end of the year, which I guess is what I'm calling for this scenario to play out, how're you gonna keep them out?
  24. DAMMIT GUYS. This is GAME WEEK. THE GREATEST SPORT ON EARTH is back. We should be talking about who's making the playoffs or winning the Heisman (it won't be Jameis!) or shit like that, not whatever the fuck this is. This is some offseason, ain't got nothin else to talk about type shit. GAME WEEK.
