2013 College Football Thread (Realer than Real Deal Holyfield -->S/O Craftsy)

yes Dre, Neal Brown is the new name from what it sounds like.

from the presser, it sounded as if Elliot will be the DC. Stoops said he already had his coordinator, but wouldn't say his name so i'd have to assume that it's him.

Stoops got a wife that's out of his league... he can obviously recruit. :pimp:

i'm pumped, don't even care. :lol: :pimp:

Freeze jack, Shaq a Dawg.

About the signing rule, UGA got 30 commits with 6 schollies left to give out

We never oversign, always undersigned so we're benefiting from the new rules this year and are able to back count like 8 for EE's and count 3 towards next class or somn like that.

Saban is the master of oversigning. #GreyshirtShawty #SendYouToAJuCoShawty
 
Shaq scheduled a visit to TAMU for either January or February. Don't remember the exact date. Him and JaQuay have been talking about being a package deal.

We might not even have room for him though. It sounds like Mackensie Alexander is down to TAMU and Clemson, so I'm sure the staff will be holding a spot in case Alexander wants to commit. If Alexander goes to Clemson (or somewhere else) though...

nah uga doesnt fall under the same rule as Mizzu and a&m for this year. theres a difference, a&m will be able to sign all those kids on NSD

and shaq wiggins is expected to flip and play with Jaquay in college station
 
Ricky Seals-Jones, Justin Manning, Isaac Savaiinaea, Mike Mitchell, Mackensie Alexander, Za'Darius Smith, Tommy Sanders, Tony Stevens...

Still a lot of top talent out there with TAMU either at the top or sitting in a great spot. I wish Houston Nutt wouldn't have screwed things up for everyone. I would love to take 40 kids in this class :lol: :smh:
 
Can anyone explain why exactly Louisiana Tech didn't get selected for ANY bowl game?

I believe they were like 9-3. I know record isn't the only thing that matters but can anyone chime in on this?

The coach or AD declined any bowl bid since they would have played LA Lafayette I believe. Players are none to happy.
 
nah. they overplayed their hand.

they wanted to go to a better bowl so they told the bowl committee that invited them to hold off, once Oklahoma got jobbed out of the BCS bowl, that knocked everyone else down a peg.

leaving La Tech with their pricks in their hands instead of a bowl invite

its their own damn fault
 
if Nick Saban wins another national championship....is he the greatest college coach ever? period.

That would be 4 rings.

I used to think Urban Meyer was that dude. till Nick Saban came around.

Nick Saban and Bama might just win the next 5 years consecutively.

They have a good strategy....only play 2 tough opponents on your season schedule, the rest are 2nd and 3rd division teams....then just walk into the sec championship game....and then the national title..

i respect it tho
 
^but just last week...you were rooting for the Bama tide....you and gunna....and ya'll are vols and gator fans...

I have NEVER cheered for Bama...

Some of y'all, might be borderline stupid.
 
Joker Phillips is going to Florida to coach WR's. That sucks, probably means that the WR's will start producing now

This is what I hate about CFB these days. Conferences are becoming more important than your own damb team. I'm tired of this kinda crap. I hate having to root for other teams in the Pac-12 just so Oregon can benefit from their success. It's lame.
 
[h1]Why Louisiana Tech is staying home despite a 9-3 record[/h1]
12:19AM EST December 3. 2012 - Louisiana Tech is 9-3, has the nation's highest-scoring offense, was once viewed as a potential BCS buster and is not playing in a bowl game.

But the Bulldogs aren't staying home from bowl play because of an unwillingness to play in-state rival Louisiana-Monroe in the Independence Bowl, Louisiana Tech athletic director Bruce Van De Velde told USA TODAY Sports.

In what he called a "late development," the Bulldogs were squeezed out of bowl play as a result of Northern Illinois' leap into the Orange Bowl, the WAC's disintegration and the Independence Bowl's own timeline, which forced Louisiana Tech to make a decision on its postseason plans ahead of schedule.

Van De Velde said that the Independence Bowl issued an invitation to the Bulldogs late on Friday night. In response, the university told the bowl's selection committee that it needed more time to vet the postseason opportunities still on its plate.

Van De Velde said he received a call from Missy Setters, the executive director of the Independence Bowl, on Saturday during halftime of the Oklahoma-TCU game. Setters told Van De Velde that the bowl needed an immediate decision. Van De Velde told Setters that he was still waiting on other opportunities, and that he wouldn't know how the Liberty Bowl and Heart of Dallas Bowl would go until Sunday. Setters replied that if Louisiana Tech wasn't ready to move on Saturday afternoon, the Independence Bowl would take a MAC team – Ohio.

"We had played there in 2008, and the sponsor is a graduate of Louisiana Tech, so I thought they would wait for us," Van De Velde said. "We all agreed we wanted to wait, so we said to them, 'We don't want to turn it down, but we need time to see how this plays out.' "

Waiting cost Louisiana Tech its spot. "They chose to go in another direction," Van De Velde said, rather than wait to see if the Bulldogs chose to play its bowl game in Shreveport.

"We never declined" the bid, Van De Velde said. "We just asked for more time. They felt like they had to move, and I understand. But we felt like we needed time to see how this played out."

Forty teams with records worse than Louisiana Tech accepted bowl bids this season. Ten out of 35 bowl games will include teams with .500 records or worse.

In a perfect world, Van De Velde said, the team would have either gone to the Liberty Bowl or the Heart of Dallas Bowl – the former against Tulsa, the Conference USA champs, and the latter on Jan. 1. The Bulldogs have never played in a January bowl, so the Heart of Dallas Bowl held some appeal. On Sunday, Northern Illinois' BCS berth also shoved the Bulldogs out of both the Liberty Bowl and the Heart of Dallas Bowl.

"We were pretty sure we were headed to the Liberty Bowl or the Heart of Dallas Bowl, but what happened was Northern Illinois moved up to the top 16, and that caused a domino effect that knocked Oklahoma out of the Sugar Bowl," Van De Velde said.

"We thought that if Kent State got beat Friday night, and Oklahoma and Kansas State won, the Big 12 would get two into the BCS and we'd be playing on New Year's Day or in the Liberty Bowl. The Heart of Dallas then filled, and then the Big 12 had an extra bowl-eligible team, and the Liberty Bowl chose them (Iowa State) over us."

Louisiana Tech's avenues for postseason play were also limited by the WAC's dearth of bowl tie-ins. The conference, which is in its last season of existence as a football league on the FBS level, has only one official bowl tie-in, to the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl; that bid went to Utah State, the WAC champions. The second-place team, San Jose State, will meet Bowling Green in the Military Bowl on Dec. 27.

"What hurt us is that we're in a conference that's disintegrating," Van De Velde said. "It only has one bowl tie-in. We weren't the champions, Utah State was, and they got that tie-in. Next year, we won't have that issue, because we're going into Conference USA and they have five bowl tie-ins."

As a result of all three factors – the Independence Bowl's timeline, Northern Illinois' BCS run and the WAC's lack of tie-ins – a nine-win team is staying home from bowl play.

"It's just an unfortunate situation that in this particular year, we got caught," Van De Velde said.
