A&M spreading that SEC money around. Way to acclimate.

[COLOR=#red]Trust and believe that the combination of moving to the SEC, having a great first season, being the ONLY team in the nation to beat Alabama this year, and having a Heisman hopeful will pay dividends in the recruiting game for us.

Hey Boomer Sooner guy, you want to put some money on the Cotton Bowl?[/COLOR]

No doubt but if you don't think they're playing by SEC rules (and it goes on everywhere), you're fooling yourself.

I just checked and A&M has 30+ commits? Wasn't some rule finally implemented in the SEC about oversigning even with counting EEs back?

None of this is SEC hate, I think it's the best conference but it has by far the best set of rule breakers of any conference. Before anyone says it, Clemson does a good job too.

Liberty Bowl director says they bypassed La Tech for Iowa State "to help establish relationship with a BCS conference"

Ok.

[COLOR=#red]Wow 30 commits? [/COLOR]

BCS bowls are a complete fail this year. Aside from Oregon-K-State and the MNC I am not intrigued by any other games. The Cotton Bowl is a much better game than any of the BCS bowls. I guess the silver lining to sucking complete *** this year and not winning the ACC is at least we don't have to play NIU in the Orange Bowl

Apparently the SEC isn't enforcing the signing rules on TAMU this year. We only signed 18 last year, so they gave us permission to sign 7 early enrollees on top of the standard cap of 25. But yes, there is a rule in place now that SEC teams can only sign up to 25. I think you can count back up to 3 max each year, but I don't remember for sure.

Thank you Jeff Long

 

[gunna get it]

CCP

 

[bigmike23]

and A&M gets a pass on the rule why?

 

[tmay407]

Couldn't tell you. The compliance office has been working very closely with the SEC to make sure that they're staying within the boundaries of the rules, though.

 

[pmatic]

Peterson to Arkansas?

 

[jhawk826]

NVM. That was a fake account.

 

[bigmike23]

that players account is fake because players cant have accounts becuase of team rules

but other then that seems to be legit that he is gone

Saban has over a month to prepare...Notre Dame might not score when they play bama..

Kelly has an extra week

 

[i lax bro]

two of my friends play at NIU and they were pretty geeked to go and play in the orange bowl haha. Wish I could head down and watch us play bama though.. Maybe if me and some friends can chip in bread for a hotel lmao.

edit: Some alumni paid for half of each ticket sold for us students.. Still 150 bucks though

 

[henz0]

kirk just went HAM on NIU

What'd he say

 

[doitallpaul]

Northern Illinois will have to buy more OB tickets (17,500) than what they avg'd per game this season

Why would Petersen take Arkansas gig? Could have had a much better job than that.

Had every OU player repping him and going nuts.

 

[henz0]

sounds disgusted.. I don't blame him

Wouldn't mind seeing them beat those bums tho

 

[JCMojica24]

Herbie is a clown. What really is a shame is that an 8-5 Wisconsin is going to the Rose Bowl.

 

[usabasketball08]

FSU beating NIU by at least 3 TD's.

 

[N41D]

Somehow A&M is functioning under some combination of BigXII and SEC recruiting rules...

They have the ability to sign some ungodly amount of early-enrollees but can still only ink 25 LOIs in February. Weird situation.

 

[jada2001retro]

ND beats Bama 34-31

Oregon beats KSU 66-24

UF beats Louisville 38-17

FSU beats NIU 52-10

Stanford beats Wisconsin 35-10

Knute Rockne must have turned down the Arky job
