It would be really easy to just say, "I'm not answering questions about that," and leave it at that instead of being a royal jackass. But Kiffin has a nice history of being a dick.

Well yeah, he'll run away at the first sign of trouble rather than stand there and take it like a man. Ask any Tennessee fan.
Also, I wonder how often people confuse him for Daniel Tosh.

As I've said, my father-in-law is a huge USC fan. For some reason he absolutely loves Kiffin. I just don't get it. The guy is a complete dick, a mediocre coach and left a huge trail of NCAA rules violations at UT. I can't wait until the fire the little pretentious prick.

I wonder if there's some Monte holdover love. I have a hard time hating Lane because I loved Monte so much.
Bucs golden years, how I miss you.

Can't decide who to root against tomorrow, the zoobs or the tater-zoobs.

Boise is joining the Big East. That's punishment enough.

Ya, I hate BYU with the passion of a thousand suns. Boise has kicked our asses the last decade though, so that is hard to overlook. |

When presented with sort of quandary I usually will pull for the underdog, yet I will still hold out hope that the winner will lose a player or two to terrible, possibly career ending, injuries.  This otherwise looks to be a decent week for football. Arizona vs. Oregon Clemson vs. Floriduh State Oklahoma vs. K State Missouri vs. South Carolina Michigan vs. Notre Dame Notre Dame actually looks pretty damned good. Their win over Michigan State was pretty huge. Clemson vs. Florida State is a gigantic game, but I could really care less about either team. My team plays Florida. I look for it to be 3000 to 0. At halftime. Addendum- pick your upset. Mine is KSU over OU.  |

I know it would technically be an upset, but I think Michigan is going to get crushed by the domers.

I think yall's confusion over which team to hate affected both of them... BECAUSE THEY BOTH LOOK LIKE SHIT!
0-0 at the half? ESPN is wondering how to get their viewers back from the shitty NFL matchup.

Heh, can the game be declared so bad that it counts as a loss for both teams?

Watching Boise State fail 4 times in a row to get it in from the 1 yard line should immediately remove their team from contention for the year. How the hell do they not have a kicker? Wow. |

I like Clemson over FSU. FSU didn't look great against Wake until Wake's defense got tired later in the second/third quarters.
Clemson in a nailbiter, 24-20.

Boise should not be in the top 25. And I have to say that I am so happy that we aren't going to have to deal with the "what if" discussions this year, at least from that camp.

The only "what if" for Boise should be what if they hold tryouts for kicker this week.

According to the box score their guy made an XP and missed a FG. That's not uncommon to see. Good kickers miss FGs. I don't understand the hubbub. They still won.  |

Uh, they went for every 4th down in creation because they couldn't trust the guy to kick a 30 yarder. You may notice this on the ZERO OUT OF FIVE 4th down conversion attempts. |

Yea. Peterson wouldn't even let him try it from the one yard line on a FG that would have basically sealed the game.
Atrocious coaching from both sides in that game.

I thought David Pollack was going to have a stroke when he went for 2 on that TD. He was almost screaming, THEY HAVE NO KICKER! WHAT ARE YOU DOING? THEY HAVE NO CHOICES IN OT!

Wow. The poor guy must be really bad. They need to have an open tryout then. Surely they could get some poor schmoe to do it.

OSU's defense is looking really good again today against fUCLA - glad we don't play them until last.
Edit: Our fucking kicker ><

That was a ballsy play that the hat called, having his QB throw across the field that late in a tight game. It worked out well for him. LSU has a way to go to be top 5, IMO, but they have a ton of talent.
