Arena 2024-25 NCAA Football Discussion

Someone tell me there were ACC! ACC! chants after the game ...

 

Wow. I think I have a new team to add to my favorites list. That Clemson/Georgia game was amazing. Switching over to LSU/TCU, and there's a chance TCU could pull off the upset. Wowzers.

 

I keep hoping Miami (my favorite ACC team, though Clemson might change that) will play respectably again, but it's too early in the season to write them off just yet. Duke Johnson is a beast all the same, and I look forward to watching him.

 

Oregon ST. Ouch!!!! That just hurts the PAC 12.

 

And even SC's defense didn't look that great against the Tar Heels. Of course, Clowney was reportedly getting over a stomach bug during that game.

But yeah, the match-up with Georgia next week just got a whole lot more interesting if you ask me.

 

Love this fake punt from Villanova during its game with Boston College this weekend.

 

Considering the amount of HS talent in the state of Georgia, and considering the talent stockpiled on the UGA roster, you would think that the Dawgs would have brought home the whole ball of wax at least once during Richt's tenure.

He's a very good coach, that much is for certain. The brass was very wise to retain him even after the 6-7 campaign a couple of years back. But he's the SEC's version of Bobby Stoops - he's almost a lock to win ten games in a given year, but his record in "big" games leaves a lot to be desired. That said, barring a complete meltdown or a major scandal, the job is his as long as he wants.

 

I was seriously having a stroke there at the start of the FSU/Pitt game. Now I feel better.

 

I'll tell ya that Florida State QB looked fantastic. If his career is even half as good as the game he had against Pitt he's going to have a great one.

 

Famous Jameis is what they are calling him now.

 

I am here to officially endorse the Baltimore football team, which is the favorite and best team in the whole game.

 

Wocky. GTFO. This is college football, you tard.

 

Too bad Clemson and FSU are in the same division... that game is going to be the de facto ACC championship, and it's going to be a doozie I think. I don't think there's anyone in the Coastal division worth a damn (Ok, so Virginia Tech may turn out to be good, but they HAVE to fix their special teams - that sounds so weird) and those 2 teams probably have the best chance of ending the SEC streak. I'm sort of taking a wait-and-see stane on Oregon and Stanford. The Ducks played an FCS opponent, and Stanford hasn't even played yet. And it may only be one game, but I don't think Ohio State has the *it* factor the aforementioned four teams seem to have. National title contenders should beat Buffalo by 40, not 20.

 

25 for 27, yeah that turns some heads. Radar anyone?

 

OMG. I hate Georgia so much, so that phone call made my night. I love that the fans are already wanting to get rid of Richt after one loss.

 

That's what it's like to be a fan of a good-to-very-good (but not great) football school. UGA fans are in denial, because they think that they're the equal of Alabama, Florida and LSU, and jealous because those schools have gotten it done whereas the Dawgs have fallen short every year since Richt was hired. The fact of the matter is, they're a second-tier team in a great conference - that's nothing to be ashamed of - but they're just not satisfied with 10-2 seasons and SEC CCG appearances. Even winning the SEC isn't enough for them (and they won it under Richt, twice). Sometimes folks just gotta put things in perspective and be thankful for what they do have, because they still have a lot going for them. Outside of a Nick Saban or an Urban Meyer type, who would improve on Richt's record?

Now Texas and Iowa fans have something to complain about, because their coaches are definitely not earning their paycheck. Richt makes less than both of their coaches and is getting paid pretty close to his actual worth.

 

Man crying in public = permanent man-card revocation

 

Anybody hear about the former college players suing the NCAA about them not doing enough to prevent concussions a'la the NFL lawsuit that just got settled?
