Viral Napier quote:
"If we can focus on those things and not necessarily what some guy in his basement is saying in rural Central Florida on social media, then we got a chance to get better."
In Central Florida, UCF's collective The Kingdom started selling T-shirts repping Rural Central Florida to troll Napier...
Are they trying to claim that they have all of the Rural Central Florida fans or something?
I'm not sure I get what they are going for.

The heat/humidity was probably the second worst I've experienced in that stadium. Lots of people spent significant time in the Purple Porpoise concoursesto get out of the sun.
RIP Purple Porpoise and halftime passes.

You've got to understand Alabama. There are folks with 2nd mortgages on their doublewides to cover their season tickets at Bama.
They fear any program that has resources beyond asking if 70% of a state's population are willing to skip dinner to pay a coach's salary.
They are the definition of "it just means more" because they are giving everything they've got.

It was fairly loud but not one of the loudest the Swamp has been.

Also, the noise factor really only comes in to play if the opposing team has to call a play or audible.
AFAIK, Miami's plan was "have Cam stand in the backfield unchallenged until he see's an open receiver"

He seems upset but I'm not sure because of that 2 pixel line.

Also, don't get a suckered in by a blowout of a shitty Florida team. They and South Carolina might be vying for the worst SEC team this year.
Somehow, both of our lines seem to have regressed from last year.

My fondest Lake Alice memory was seeing a family walk their kids over one of the small bridges and the kids got excited because they saw a little turtle in the water, and then they got to hear the crack when a gator appeared out of nowhere and the turtle was no more.
Well, that and the bat house. So many bats. I still love to watch them at dusk in my backyard but it's only usually one or two at a time. I need to build a bat house. -

Hey man, you’re a regular here and a good poster, but come on with “UTx”. It’s either Texas or UT on this board. Outside of clowns around Knoxville, everyone in the world knows who UT is referencing and you’re on our board to boot. Texas is just fine though as well and preferred.
Look. I was told to stop using OUT and I did.

That said, there aren't many programs, especially SEC, that play two power conference opponents in the non-conference. They'll always have Florida St, but the Gators add to their misery by having home-and-homes with ND, AZ St, Colorado, NC St. What are they thinking? Do you think they'll try to wiggle out of some of these?
I really don't know. We've already lost one OOC series -- California -- to a combination of UF looking to remove an OOC game in anticipation of the SEC going to 9 and Cal suddenly having a lot more east coast road trips and swapping it for a series with UCLA.
A lot of these games were added with the expectation of a 12 or 16 game playoff where having a good schedule will make up for a couple of losses.
Miami has been on the books for awhile if not officially announced, then by a common understanding. The former AD made a point to schedule Miami whenever we had a year with 2 bye weeks.
Also, the current AD picked a tougher schedule to get more good games in the Swamp and keep the seats filled at the higher prices they're charging. I think only one game last year wasn't a sellout: McNeese St.
The schedule also got tougher because of OU and UTx joining.We basically traded Texas for Mizzou and Ole Miss for Vandy the next 2 years.

Nothing happens in a bubble. The record alone doesn't really tell us anything.
Napier is probably not going to get fired unless he loses the team and recruiting class, which is just OK at this point.
Next year's schedule is not much easier, so you have the additional challenge of finding a coach who would be willing to walk into that.
vs. UGA
Texas
Tennessee
FSU
@ LSU
@ Miami
@ A&M
@ Kentucky
@ Ole Miss
Miss St
USF
FAMU
There are plenty of Gators who think that Jedd Fisch would be interested but he just got to Washington and I can't imagine him wanting to walk into the current schedule at UF.I feel like even if Napier just treads water this year, he'll get another year.
After that, we could be looking at a new coach and a new AD. UF also has a new prez search going on which I won't go into because it's quite political.

The SEC's tagline RE football is literally "It just means more".

Was thinking about going to that game, but with how often they play the goddamn war chant I think I’ll just watch the game muted on TV. That war chant is more frequent and more annoying than the OU band constantly playing boomer sooner.
The game is at SMU, right?
FSU's band went to Ireland and they most likely will travel to Miami.
So SMU will be at most a travel pep band. -

Except that fsu gonna have 3-4 losses at the end of the season
Hard to say. They play a shit schedule every year. This one will probably end up with only a couple ranked opponents by the end of it.

Vanderbilt News
Jafar Williams, who has multiple stops in the Big Ten, has reportedly landed on an SEC staff
DOUG SAMUELS 1 HOUR AGO
Clark Lea has added some veteran experience to his staff at Vanderbilt. 247 shares that former Virginia Tech and Maryland assistant Jafar Williams has joined the Commodores staff.
At Temple, where he most recently worked after joining the staff in February 2022, Williams held the role of pass game coordinator in addition to coaching the receivers. Williams and the Owls parted ways back in January after two seasons.
The move also reunites Williams with Jerry Kill, who was an off season addition to the staff at Vanderbilt and has been influential in a number of off season changes with the 'Dores. Jafar and Kill previously worked together at both Rutgers and Virginia Tech. Before returning to the head coaching ranks the past few seasons at New Mexico State, Kill worked as a special assistant to the head coach at Virginia Tech and he spent one season as the offensive coordinator for Chris Ash in Piscataway before stepping away.
In addition to his time with working with the Hokies receivers and the Terps running backs, Williams has also logged time in Big Ten country at Purdue as well.
He spent a handful of seasons working with the Boilermakers running backs after developing explosive running backs like Dri Archer and Traylon Durham at Kent State.
A former standout receiver at Maryland, Williams was a quality control graduate assistant at Northwestern early in his coaching journey and went on to start his on-field career with receivers at Howard (FCS) and Illinois State (FCS).
Hey, Clark. If he offers to lead you to a cave of wonders, don't do it!

Kyle Whittingham thinks a super league is coming very soon.
https://www.johncanzano.com/p/canzano-utah-footballs-kyle-whittingham
Q: You’ve talked about the future of major college football. That a line will be drawn in the sand and that Utah needs to be on the right side of the line. When is that coming? How many teams will it include? What do you see?
A: Well, yeah, I think there is a major realignment coming, and it’ll be a big one. I think it will create even more of a divide and exclusivity for the teams that are on the right side of that line. 20 months to four years? How about that for a time frame? In my opinion, it’s going to look very much like an NFL minor league.
I see an expansion of the playoff with that to 16 teams. The short version is Super Conferences. I think it’s going to boil down to 40-60 maybe teams in the Super Conference. I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t play anybody but other Super Conference teams. Make that a division as far as who you play. Like I said, a full-blown playoff. Whether or not the players will be employees, officially, remains to be seen, but I think that’s very likely. I think that’s where it’s heading.

Yeah, it would be like the ACC claiming all the Stanford swimmers which I'd imagine they've done by now.
Like I said before, not only were they doing it. But they were doing it prior to Stanford joining the league 8/1.

At least Texas is in the SEC now. It's not like last week when the other conferences were bragging about medals from schools that were still in other conferences.

Sure but it doesn't make any sense.
It's like a real life version of the "jokes on them, I was only pretending to be retarded" meme.
