Random College Football Discussion Thread

Yep, they gotta get that spin cycle going full speed, gotta try and do whatever it takes to keep Alabama firmly entrenched in the middle of the national title picture.

It took about 10 seconds after the game before Verne & Gary started discussing how Alabama could get right back into the title game. Heck, the game may not have been completed.

I understand they have to be SEC homers since CBS has the rights, but they tend to lay it on too thick.

Mike Leach in hot water again? WSU star WR leaves team due to abuse

I'm pretty sure losing to Colorado is more humiliating than anything Leach could have done.

He's probably not the most player-friendly coach ever, but I'm guessing WSU players aren't used to coaches riding them very hard and Wilson wasn't going to take it.

I just can't wait until Finebaum on Monday.

under inflated balls also dont travel as far on kicks and punts, and the first kickoff of the game bounced like 9 yards deep in the endzone.

agreed on how under-inflated they were.....but those are details we probably wont know. i'm still gonna believe that they were only slightly below acceptable limit.

That's not the case. A flat ball doesn't travel very well on kicks. A slightly underinflated ball actually gives a greater trampoline effect, and will travel further than a properly inflated ball.

This is a quote from another board that I frequent.

Kicking game today:

Heidari: 7 KOs, 1 touchback. Many kicks today well below his season average.

Negrete: 4 punts, 31.5 yard avg. 13 yards below his season average of 44 with a long of only 36.

On "gripability":

Barkley threw 3 INTs, USC fumbled twice, and ASU fumbled once on a return with one of USC's K balls

no ibi. a fully inflated football travels farther than a slightly under inflated football. its a physics problem dealing with how efficient the football is in converting the energy it receives from the kick to how far it'll travel. slightly under-inflated balls will have more give in their surface and will lose some of the energy in trying to get back to its original shape. that lost energy results in not travelling as far.

what do the USC stats from the arizona state game have to do with what i was saying about the USC/oregon game?

Wouldn't it make more sense to switch Temple, Memphis, Central Florida, and South Florida?

[souljahbill]

Stupid question or STUPID question?

[baseballplyrmvp]

some questions dont need answers.

Not really. UCF and USF travelling that often to Boise or SDSU? Makes even less sense than Temple doing it.

I suspect there's some slight politics at play here, under the guise of geographically sensible divisions. Temple is the only school that has historically had a tie to the Big East that is in the West.

I suspect that's why "Like" is the college answer. Trying to get more likes.

Temple is closer to all the East division schools than UCF or USF. Since the FL schools are already well out the way of the actual eastern schools, throw them in the west.

I'm not a real emotional person but these videos really are great to watch.

Thanks to all that protect us!! Not enough great things could be said for your commitment and dedication to our country.

really disappointed in alabama and south carolina. alabama gave up 2 first downs to 1-8 western carolina in the first half, and south carolina failed to score in the first quarter against wofford. i expected more out of them.

Minnesota's Jerry Kill is latest coach accused of verbal abuse and intimidation by a - now former - player.

This probably won't mean as much to you guys but here are some quotes from Gus Malzahn talking to the Little Rock (ie Razorback country) Touchdown Club today...

Gus - People are calling US, guys that are committed to big schools
Gus - I'm very fortunate to have the support of the administration that I do
Gus - I'm very happy at #ArkSt, we've got big goals and big dreams and I intend to see them through
Gus - I root for Hugh, but it wouldn't hurt my feelings to play him in a bowl (speculation that ASU & Ole Miss might play each other in the Liberty Bowl)
Gus - #Ark and #ArkSt need to play in LR..it's not 1974 anymore (Arkansas has refused to play ASU in football... it's never happened)



Taking all of that into account, A) he won't be a candidate for the Razorbacks if he's openly questioning their outdated policies which have been stated won't be changing a B) he sounds like he truly intends to stick around for more than just a year or two. He seems to say all the right things from a fan's perspective... great to be a part of it.

While that is definitely what you want to hear, Tommy, I'm sure you remember Nick Saban telling the Miami media that he wasn't leaving for Alabama.
