Apparently this is what God was doing rather than preventing natural disasters.

Ever thought that the reason we have so many is that God is too busy helping underdog sports teams?

no

Mike Shula has been fired as the head coach at the University of Alabama. A press conference will be held today @ 2:00. Spurrier could be named as the next head coach then.

I told all ya'll the system is so flawed.

i also heard that it is possible for him to go to Miami.

Espn radio was talking about the latest rumor.

Bill Cower going to NC state at seasons end.

dave Shula got screwed. They didnt even tell him that he was going to fired. He had just met with his team. annoy:

First off, it's not Dave Shula. That guy runs a restaurant. Second, last Monday there was a private meeting between Mal Moore (AD), Robert Witt (President), the Board of Trustees, Mike Shula, and Malcolm Portera (Chancellor of Alabama, Witt's boss). They practically decided then to fire Shula, but gave him a chance to prove he would make drastic changes to revitalize the program.

Mal Moore gave Shula a chance to present a list of steps he would take to get Bama back on track. He listed moving Connelly (OL) to the TEs, Ungerer (Speacial Teams) to the OL, and would give up the play-calling to Radar (OC). No coaches were proposed by Shula to be fired. If you know Alabama football well enough, it's more than painfully apparent that those aforementioned coaches needed to be fire. Moore was looking for those coaches to be fired, and was not pleased with his approach. He practically told Shula he was done then.

I agree they didn't carry out the firing very well, as Shula never had any definite word until after the team meeting @ 9:00 last night. They should have announced it last week.


Rumored candidates remain as the following:

Steve Spurrier (favorite)
Nick Saban
Rich Rodriguez
Bobby Petrino
Jim Grobe (Wake Forest)
Paul Johnson (Navy)
Butch Davis (even though he's a verbal for UNC, he did the same exact thing @ Bama several years ago before pulling out @ the last second)


Obviously the most desired coach on that list is Spurrier. The recruit potential with Spurrier at a school like Alabama, a school that consistently recruits around the top 10-15 every year, would be immense.

I hope Paul Johnson stays at Navy, he's had them playing well for years, making the other academies look like fools. Too bad they might get matched up against Clemson in their bowl game this year....

[quote="Chronic Diarrhea":3221f]First off, it's not Dave Shula. .[/quote:3221f]

lol , Yeah I realized I typed Dave Instead of Mike after I logged off. I decided not to correct it, I knew someone would beer:

it was no suprise to me that he was gone. I just think the the way they handled it was very poor. To not even be able to give your team a heads up is wrong.
I hope they don't get Spurrier. The west will just get extremely tuff. He will be able to recruit well there.

I would rather see Spurrier go to Miami...

lol, i cant believe Virginia Tech passed WVU in the top 25

I agree. That's what the general consensus is around here.

Chronic, what's your prediction ARK vs. Florida.
They currently have the gators by 3.

I say 24-17 arkansas.

I can see Arkansas going two different directions:

1) Arkansas utilizes McFadden and Jones very effectively, just as the offense has been laid out to do. A run heavy offense with well-timed play-action passes will completely shatter Florida's defense. IIRC, Arkansas only threw the ball 11 times in the Auburn game, and I can only expect Arkansas to do the same. Arkansas has the best 1-2 punch @ running back in the nation (sorry West Virginia). If they can win the time of possession and hang 300 + rushing yards on Florida, the Gators will have a long day. Florida's pass offense will give the Razorbacks some trouble, but not enough.

Arkansas - 27
Florida - 24

2) Houston Nutt continues to feel as if he has to force an element of his offense that is simply not needed much, and I'm talking about the passing game. Last week against LSU they tried to pass the ball way too often, and at wrong times when using two future NFL running backs could have done a much better job. Arkansas' last series last week saw 4 straight passes, with three of them keeping the runningback in the backfield to block. It just doesn't make sense to not utilize guys like McFadden and Jones as much as possible. Nutt tries to force the pass throughout the entire game, giving Florida a few more offensive series due to the 3 and outs, and, subsequently, more scores.

Arkansas - 17
Florida - 34

I'm not sure about that game. I love DMAC and Jones, they are incredible, but I don't think that you can win all the big games if you don't have a passing game...which they just don't have. Their 2 minute drill last week against LSU was pitiful...granted they probably COULD have run the ball down the field in 2 minutes, but they just can't pass worth a damn.

I want Ark to win, but I'm not so sure....

I FUCKING LOVE UCLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SUCK THAT PHAT DICK USC, OHIO STATE GET READY FOR THE MOTHER FUCKIN REMATCH.

URBAN MEYER CAN SUCK MY FUCKING DICK AND SO CAN FLORDIA THEY ARE SO FUCKING FAR BACK

GOD HELLLL YEAAAAA!!!!!!!

Nebraska's secondary is getting sonned by Paul Thompson and Malcom Kelly.

14-0 Sooners at the start of the second quarter.

i actually want to see a rematch... but i feel florida will make it for some gh3y reason

[quote="[DAS REICH] Blitz":f5451]i actually want to see a rematch... but i feel florida will make it for some gh3y reason[/quote:f5451]I don't know if they'll make it. They have a crappy chance of getting there, but still a chance. I do want the rematch yeah.

Honestly Florida's schedule blows Michigan's out of the water. Michigan played 2, maybe 3 good teams this year. Florida played at least 5 good teams, and maybe 6 this season.

Even a team like Tennessee, who is only 9-3 this year, would easily be 11-1 or 10-2 in the Big Ten. They ballfucked Cal, who in turn ballfucked Minnesota, who in turn ballfucked Indiana and beat Iowa and Michigan State. Logic tells you Tennesse would most likely ballfuck 6-8 of the teams in the Big Ten. The only solid teams in the Big Ten are Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, and Wisconsin.

In addition, the Big Ten has over half of their conference at or below .500. The SEC only has 4 at or below .500, and Alabama is usually an 8 win team.

Ohio State 12-0
Wisconsin 11-1
Michigan 11-1
Penn State 8-4
Purdue 8-5


Florida 12-1
Arkansas 10-3
Auburn 10-2
LSU 10-2
Tennessee 9-3
Georgia 8-4
Kentucky 7-5
South Carolina 7-5


Even with saying all of that, I'm not necessarily against Michigan getting a rematch. I just think Florida has a very strong case to be in the game. Bottom line: we need a playoff system. That I am sure of.

so i see all you guys watched the "mcfadden bowl" tonight. I actually said that to my bro last week happy:

i was like "man, turn it on the mcfadden game" lol

Yeah, and he was playing hurt with a sprained ankle. You could tell he wasn't near as fast or quick tonight as he usually is. Still, he's a beast. If he's not in the running for the Heisman I'll never take that trophy seriously again.

I'm depressed. The dumbass muffed punt turned the game. I bet were picking cotton against Nebraska now. ( Provided they lose)I don't think the Capital one bowl wants us due to a lesser fan base going to the east coast again. The Ctton would love to have us cause we'll put 30,000 in the stands.annoy:

Florida still has a shot at the big game. We'll have to see the numbers.

Credit to Florida's defense. They did the best job anyone has done against Mcfadden all year.

No shit. That was one of the stupidest decisions I've ever seen by a punt returner. Not only that, but he fair signaled the punt. You ALWAYS let it go inside the 10.

I think the Capital One Bowl would be retarded not to offer you guys a bowl bid. Arkansas is more than worthy of the biggest non-BCS bowl. If Arkansas was in the Big XII instead of the SEC they probably would have gone undefeated this year.

[quote="Chronic Diarrhea":9bcb1]Honestly Florida's schedule blows Michigan's out of the water. Michigan played 2, maybe 3 good teams this year. Florida played at least 5 good teams, and maybe 6 this season.

Although I agree with you that Florida's schedule is much tougher, the "transitive property" of college football is faulty logic.

A rematch is really the last thing I want right now. Florida/OSU would be great.

Had Arkansas been in the Big XII, they most likely would have been in the South division, and thus would have had to beat A&M, Texas, and Oklahoma. I feel like they would have lost to one of those teams.

I know it's faulty logic. The point is with the current BCS system, deciding which team should go is purely based upon some of these same laws. It really makes no sense that there's a possibility that one team could get into the national title game by losing their way in while another team would win their way in. The only real way to know is with a playoff.

Ah, I see now. Yeah, the system is ridiculous...but I really love the bowls.

I love the bowls too, and I used to be anti-playoff, but I'm just sick of going through this shit every year. Not only do you get the "my team is better than yours" bullshit, you also get the "my conference is better than yours" bullshit. While some of those claims may be true, with a playoff system in place, we would actually get to see which team is the best, and whether or not the Rutgers of the world can hold their jocks against the Ohio States and Floridas of the world.

florida played an extra game

I think you could morph the bowl system and have a playoff. Let the top4 teams duke it out in 2 major bowls and have a championship game. The rest could be assigned to lesser bowls as the system stands now. It's not like there aren't enough bowls to go around and it only adds one game. Just a thought, my system might need to be tweaked , but you get the point. Also take away the extra season game. 14 games ( provided your in a bowl, is too much)

For anybody watching the Hawaii game right now....


Why does it always look like somebody shoved 100 rolls of toilet paper through a wood chopper and sprayed it on their field?

Hawaii's fullback is 296 pounds. oOo:

Id hate to be a Wisconson fan, they are the team that is getting hosed the worst

Well, the Capital One Bowl is the highest payout bowl of all the non-BCS bowls (over 5 million). It was also the Citrus Bowl before the corporate dicks chimed in, and it still should be called the Citrus Bowl. As we all know the Citrus Bowl (called the Tangerine Bowl before that) has been around for a long time, and probably one of the oldest non-BCS bowls.

Since Wisconsin didn't get into a BCS (and should have, fucking Boise State is in one ffs), then the Capital One Bowl is the next best thing.

true, but the way we have looked at it is, well, we really shouldnt even be ranked as high as we are. Our schedule turned out to be extremely easy, the only ranked team we played was michigan... Yes it sucks we have the top 2 teams in the country in our conference but thats the way she goes... fact is we are not that good this year.
