He's awful.

But had Cincy not given up over 500 yards of offense to Tebow he wouldn't have had such cause to fellate him all night long.

[quote name='Halo05']Did that fucker not get fired for last season's title game BJs? The only good thing that came out of that was the constant berating that he earned from every level of sports radio. Everyone from my local gomers to national shows took shots at that douche.

I think you just need to spend a little bit of time around Tebow, your life will be better for it.
 
A lot of hatred on the Big East. And Cincy shit the bed during the first half last night. No doubt about that.

But let me ask a simple question: how many teams this year produced more points than Cincinnati did when facing Florida?

Just Alabama. On a similar note, only three teams gave up more points to Florida than Cincy: Charleston Southern, Troy, and Florida International.

Depends on whether or not you count Cincy's 14 points in garbage time, I guess.

This is the problem. Cincy's offense has been solid, but when your defense barely compares favorably with FCS and Sun Belt teams in the most important game of your season, it doesn't speak well of you overall.

Depends on how many points you are counting...the 14 in the fourth quarter were pity points.
 
Yeah, Jan 1 was just a crappy day for the Big East.

Cincy got slaughtered. WVU suffered an embarassing loss to a 6-6 FSU team from the ACC--the other league battling it out in discussions of what the worst BCS league is.

At least USF and UCONN won their bowls yesterday, so the conference finishes the bowl season 4-2.
 
I think Bill wanted to lose that game for Bobby, dmaul. When Jarrett got hurt, it gave him the opening. I mean how do you explain Noel not getting the rock anymore. No team could have beaten FL that night....any team any league. Cmon, Usf can beat Cinci with a seasoned QB. Uconn made our bowl season by raping the ole ball coach...the Big East will be okay. We just need to get a few replacements ready in case Rutgers and/or Pitt go to the Big Ten
 
Do you really think that? I mean, a coach would lose a game, essentially throwing all of his seniors under the bus, for another coach? No way.
 
[quote name='moonknight25']I think Bill wanted to lose that game for Bobby, dmaul. When Jarrett got hurt, it gave him the opening. I mean how do you explain Noel not getting the rock anymore. [/QUOTE]

That's just Jeff Mullen's idiotic play calling. Noel didn't get anywhere near the carries he should have in most every game this year. He just seems hell bent on showing his offense can work, and reluctant to just ride the running game, despite having shaky QB play (Brown was crappy from the Auburn game on for the most part) and poor WR play.
 
You guys are hilarious. There is no way the WVU coach gave up the win to FSU. These factors caused the win for FSU.

1) FSU play scheme all season is pass happy, rush maybe 5-10 times a game. If they scouted, the WVU defense would watch the passes. FSU allowed Jimbo to run his play book which consisted of lots of runs and option plays. WVU Defense wasn't prepared for it.
2) FSU Defense has been non-existent all season. Partly due to inexperience plus injuries. After giving up a 60-70 yard run to WVU back, they finally decided to play. They started getting to the QB i.e. sacks and a pick or two. This was partly due to reason #3 listed below.
3) This was Bobby Bowden and Mickey Andrews last game. If you didn't think the FSU team would come out fired up, you are silly. The players would not want to be remembered as the team who let Bowden down on his last game.
4) Your starting QB, who puts up a bunch of rushes all season included his TD run during the game, was injured at the end of the 2nd. The freshmen couldn't play to the level of your starter. Most likely due because of #2.
 
A lotta people proclaiming a lot of sympathy from teams who play a sport where dominance and competition are stressed at virtually every location.

Same armchair folks who think that UC earned "pity points" are those who think a team willingly threw the game.

The only time people take a dive in sports is if they have money riding on it.
 
No "you guys."

I was disagreeing with him that WVU gave the game away. I was saying it was just the same idiotic play calling our moron of an OC (coupled by our moron, Gomer Pyle, hick of a head coach) have made all year by not giving our best player enough touches.

Nothing done deliberately to give away the game. Just the same inexplicable play calling WVU fan's have suffered through since Rodriguez left for Michigan. I don't see the team getting back to the 2005-2007 level of success with this coaching staff.
 
I'm still trying to figure out why WVU abandoned the run against Auburn and started passing. I'm not complaining, but man that wasn't too smart.
 
[quote name='munch']I'm still trying to figure out why WVU abandoned the run against Auburn and started passing. I'm not complaining, but man that wasn't too smart.[/QUOTE]

Yep. Like I said, Mullen's play calling is just baffling.

People complained about Rodriguez being to wedded to the run game, and his stubborn costing us losses to USF in 2006 and 2007, and the 13-9 debacle to Pitt that cost us a shot at the title.

I think Stewart and Mullen have over-compensated for that, and tried to force the team into more of a pass first team. Stewart said he was just going to tweak things, but they completely overhauled the offense right from the start of the 2008 season and continued through this season.

And thus we've struggled as we don't have the personnel for that, as we had an OL recruit for zone blocking (so small and fast), not pass blocking, lack talent at WR, and didn't have the greatest passing QBs--especially last year with Pat White.

So it's been a very frustrating couple of years. 9-4 seasons aren't terrible, but hard to swallow after three straight 11 win seasons. Especially with the misuse of talent and losing several games we should have won but lost by single digits through mistakes, poor play calling etc.

Oh come on. You can't honestly tell me an entire team team at the end of a game where their victory is assured plays with the same level of competitive intensity they would if the result were in question up until the final minute. Florida was playing their second and third team seniors at the end of that game for a reason, and it wasn't because they're as good as the starters.

As for WVU throwing the game....that's a bit much.

Tell that to the Indianapolis Colts. (Though I suppose they do have money riding on it, after all.)

It's not pity points. The team with the big lead doesn't feel bad for the team they're stomping and let them score.

They're garbage points as they team with the lead has their 3rd team or lower scrubs in the game, while the losing team still has 1st and 2nd stringers in.

And yeah, again, anyone saying WVU in anyway threw the game is an idiot. It was just the same moronic coaching we've suffered through the past 2 seasons.

Florida playing their backups at the end of the game was because these guys will most likely be the starters next year since half the team graduates or goes early into the draft. UF wanted to get these guys some in-game experience, not to give Cincy some pity points.

Just to list every of impact gone: Head Coach (Meyer), Defensive Coordinator (Strong), QB/Off Captain (Tebow), Leading WR (Cooper), Slot WR (Nelson), Top 5 Kick/Punt Returner (James), Kicker (Phillips), DE (Cunningham), LB/Def Captain (Spikes), LB (Stamper), CB (Haden - Declared)... On top of that, they lose some quality backups i.e. Pierre-Louis and most likely you will see Dunlap, Hernandez, and maybe even the Pouncy brothers declare for the NFL draft.

As for the Boise St/TCU game... Boise St is alot better than people give them credit for. I wish they would join a Big 6 division (such as Pac-10) to get a chance against a bigger school. You can't really coach or scout a team that plays the way Boise St plays.

If Boise St keeps this up they will be in a better conference eventually.

Tonight, I'm pulling for Iowa really want to see the Big Ten go 4-2 in bowls this year.
 
I just read that Boise State is returning all but one of their starters next year. That fact + a probable very high preseason ranking could mean that another undefeated season will either...

a. Put them in the national title game

or

b. Provide so much controversy about them *not* being in the national title game that stuff gets changed.

Here's hoping for the latter. Condolences in advance to Boise State fans if that happens but it'll be for the best in the long run.
 
I never thought Boise had much of a D until last night. They definitely had great season and I know they are returning damn near everyone but I think they will have a hard time with the Hokies when they come to DC next.

I am very excited to see what '10 holds for VT. We will have the best group of running backs in the nation, receivers w/ good hands and play making ability (something we don't normally don't have in Blacksburg), and a good QB. Our defense will have to reload a little, but our D coordinator will not be happy finishing the season outside the top 10 in total D. All of that, plus a more favorable schedule (toughest road games are @ Miami, @ BC, and the BSU game in DC) make me think we have a legit shot at the title next year.

Personally I think we should be top 5 behind Bama, Oklahoma, USC and maybe Ohio State. I know better tho and realize that Florida, LSU, and Texas will probably all start off higher than us.

Good luck with that prediction. Just looking at ACC league alone. GT could return everyone. Miami returns most impact players. UNC is returning all juniors. If you make ACC Championship (key word If), FSU is loaded. Good luck with Boise St next year... they return most players. They will be your Alabama next year. VT easily picks up 2 losses next year i.e. no national title chance.

VT gaps in defense might not carry them like the past. The secondary is depleted to Freshie/Sophies and a huge hole in D Line with Worilds most likely declaring. On the offensive side, you lose your top lineman All-ACC Ed Wang and your FB (the guys that create space so Ryan Williams look good).

VT will preseason rank somewhere around #6-8. But preseason rankings don't really matter.
 
Big 10 was 4-3, but all 4 wins over top 15 teams. Won 2 BCS bowls, 3 teams with 11 wins.

I hate the conference pretty much from loathing Penn State and Ohio State--and Michigan after they twice raided coaches from WVU. But they did have a very solid year.

GT does return everyone, but they were proven last nite to be extremely one dimensional. If teams don't stack the box with at least 8 guys to stop the run then something in wrong w/ that D coord. Miami will be tough, especially on the road, but Harris can be stopped. UNC is good too but they need a qb/leader on offense. FSU does scare me, but I think they will have a slight letdown next year w/out Bobby. There is no reason VT should not be favored in the ACC.

As for Boise, they are extremely dangerous, but I think we will be very jacked up to play that game. I believe if you can stop their pass game they are very beatable, but that could very well be our weakness next year.

I think we will have better talent on our D next year than we did this year. Losing Grimm will be big because he was our leader, but I don't think Worilds will go pro and he will make a great leader for a young group. As for our O-line, I don't know how Wang made any All team because he was our worst starting lineman we have had in years (lots of penalties and missed blocks every time I saw him play). As for the FB position, I have a feeling we will be running a lot of 2 RB formations next year, so that shouldn't affect us too much.

Sorry for the long post, but I am very excited for next season as I think we will have one of the most overall talented teams we have ever had in Blacksburg. Oh, and I agree that the only ranks that matter are the ones that come out in January.
 
Hope Texas found an offense outside of McCoy and Shipley, specifically a RB. Otherwise, the game will not be pretty...anyways Hook'em Horns!!!!
 
I like how he leaves his wrestling CD playing in the background, as if everything else in his video doesn't support the fact that he's a slack-jawed yokel.
 
[quote name='Magus8472']At the rate they're going Texas is going to have to put Vince Young in at QB.[/QUOTE]

sadly if colt is gone.


Alabama has won
 
[quote name='Magus8472']At the rate they're going Texas is going to have to put Vince Young in at QB.[/QUOTE]


Young still has a year of eligibility I believe :lol:.

Oh wow that went bad.....At this point unless Colt comes back and plays the game of his life it's over.
 
I second that Texas is really playing their hearts out!

Wow! 1 on 1 against Shipley major defense breakdown. Damn! Texas only down by 3 now what a game!
 
I think once Bama scored there was still 1:45 or so left, and with the onside kicks and all I think they just wanted to put a nail in the coffin. If you've watched any Bama games Nick Saban never runs up the score on a normal game.
 
Bama scored the last TD with under a minute to go. Texas wasn't using their timeout, they could have just taken a knee and ran out the clock at that point.

Good game, felt bad for McCoy even though I wanted Bama to win.

Ridiculous that Boise St is 4th in the final poll with Texas and Florida with 1 loss ahead of them at 2 and 3 respectively.
 
I hate the thought that we might have seen a better game had McCoy not been injured, but it was still an alright game overall. A freshman QB coming off the bench to lead his team to the national championship would've been one of the better stories in college football history, or sports history in general.

munch, what are the odds that Auburn fans contend that Alabama won the title by default and this is yet another phantom championship because of the McCoy injury?
 
Nope, it's the final poll of this year, based on this years performance.

Pre season poll will come out in August, and is based on projections of how teams will do with the talent they have back.

Well it is official... Worilds declared for the draft.

As for GT, they don't necessarily get everyone back.... Just today Demaryius Thomas declared. Rumor has it Dwyer and Morgan might follow since they are both rated as probable 1st rounders.

No one is saying that, so I'd say slim to none. Now, they do claim some very mysterious championships, as I'm sure you know. 1941, for example, blows my mind. They have 8 or 9. Still a lot, but not the 13 they claim.
