  1. I actually like the round robin, because you play each team every year and you don't get to 'duck' schools in the other division. Something like 6 or 8 ten-team conferences would be sweet. Winner of each is guaranteed a playoff spot. Then you can add in a handful of at large teams depending on how big you want the playoffs to be. back to reality I guess
  2. Holy crap Shaw is getting a lot of coin. He's been there 10 years and has 1 rose bowl win under his belt. I guess that's the bar over there
  3. a friend offered me a ticket and I'm considering going. When in Rome and all...Where is the best place to pick up some roofies in waco? Should I swing by one of their dorms? Or perhaps walk around like a rapist and have them thrown at me like a post wedding rice shower?
  4. Glad to find out this thread is not about Gary Patterson, the "creator of smiles":
  5. Sun Belt, MAC, CUSA, AAC. recent realignment news notwithstanding, I could not tell you 3 schools in each conference
  6. If there was a darwin award for losing your job, the WSU HC would be my pick
  7. I didn't realize Tulane still had a football team. Figured they washed away in the last flood and scattered among fema tents
  8. Baylor is marginally better than last year. The difference is they couldn't pad their record vs. prairie view a&m types. If you just look at their conference performances 3 things are obvious. 1. their OL sucks - which is no surprise because it sucked last year. they cannot move the ball on the ground against teams with a pulse. 2. they can't pass rush against teams with a pulse. 3. ISU dominated them in the 2nd half, OSU dominated them in stoolwater.
  9. You could have told me they moved to conference USA and I wouldn't have been the wiser. CUSA, AAC,MAC they are all the same caliber to me.
  10. Based on what? Losing to shitty UCLA teams?
  11. Gotta be Iowa States fault
  12. You triggered something
  13. I just noticed this. If Indiana wins the B10 in 2021, then sure. Go get him. But how often do head coaches leave and go to another team in the same conference.. as HC? I can't think of any in the B12 that have done it. Yes, they are 3-0 this year. So what? This year was over before it began. Nothing counts, huge asterisks next to anything that would be meaningful. Teams are playing in empty stadiums all over the country. Games get cancelled on a whim. Players can't stay focused. Forget this season its meaningless.
  14. You mentioned earlier his passion is not the same. Maybe it is time for a change. I don't know if he had a coaching break between the 49ers job and Michigan, but if not he's coaching since 2004. That has to be immensely draining, with the pressure at Michigan 10X as much as it would have been at Stanford or 100x of San Diego before that. It's either rare or becoming rare for coaches to get to 7-8 seasons with one program now and this is Harbaughs 6th with Michigan? People want wins now, all the time and nothing less. Or, coaches win and jump after 3-4 seasons to something different. I dunno. Just thinking different things here. So maybe he's worn out and needs to stop coaching for a while or completely. Who knows.
  15. They didn't lose 3 games at the end of 2018. They lost the first game, won ten straight (wins vs. Ranked teams Wisconsin, Michigan State, Pedophile State and Northwestern, who would finish ranked and with 9 wins) before losing to ohio state. If you want to go back 19 games and skip all of those wins, then he is 11-8, not 10-9. I feel your pain though. It's frustrating when the wins that you really want are not there. That's what it sounds like. What I would do is just be happy with the 9 win a year average that he is delivering.
  16. You added the 3 losses from the 2018 season, but you omitted all the wins.
  17. That game doesn't exist in my memory
  18. He is 20-9 in his last 29 games, which includes 2 bowl losses. 2018 10-3 2019 9-4 2020 1-2
  19. I guess to put it as briefly and concisely as possible: They weren't as good as their record would indicate and they lost to all of the good teams that they played. I wasn't impressed.
  20. I'm not focusing on the Georgia loss - it was the third point in my statement. Their offense was just horrible. Their game plan was hope special teams and defense can get you good field position, and throw it up to the one good WR they had and pray for a score. Almost all of their wins were by a handful of points and a several of those wins were luck. They could have easily been 5-7 last year. They just got the bounces and some help from refs i.e. the Tech game. Plus, they lost to OU twice. Then, finish the year getting owned.
  21. Good points. But then, who would do a better job? I think if they can him, they'll be pulling a Nebraska a'la Frank Solich .
  22. How good was Rhule though? Their offenses were shit, they didn't roll anyone other than Kansas and they got owned by Georgia. Other than the millions he collected to go to Carolina, I can see why he left. 3-4 win ceiling for that team this year if he had stayed
  23. I just glanced at his Michigan record. He's won 70% of his games there. Shouldn't Michigan be happy with that?
