The UCF fan reaction when we hired Heup and they grabbed Gus was so over the top and obnoxious that I was rooting pretty hard for GaTech (and literally every other team they play.) You'd think they swapped out Nebraska Scott Frost for Saban when the coaching carousel was going around but, as...

Seriously. Can you imagine what Kamara could have done last year in Heup's offense with Hooker under center? Alvin could have been only the 2nd player ever to ring up 1k rushing/1k passing. In college that is.

Things definitely didn't turn out as Jalen and Co. had hoped. His career earnings came in just over $2.7mil in his 3 seasons. Making $900k a year is pretty sweet but the guy is 27 and out of work. After living in the Bay Area and paying taxes, I'm guessing the bulk of that money is gone and...

I completely agree with the assessment but wouldn't underestimate the Bobby/Jimbo marriage dumpster fire potential. Jimbo views himself as an 'offense guy' so if the new OC (who also certainly wants his job) turns things around it could get ugly in the staff room.

Was thinking the same thing. Hyatt definitely comes down with that deep shot around the 15yrd line. No way in hell Tillman lets that 3rd down conversion attempt go through his hands either. It wasn't a well thrown ball but absolutely catchable. I think the key reason for UT's success this...

Now if only they bring in free agency so we could fill in some gaps mid-season.

Thanks for taking the time to compile that. Unfortunately, a lot of folks here won't let actual facts and data ever get in the way of their opinions.

In all seriousness, the guy had probably signed 100,000 autographs by the time he got to your helmet and realized he needed to tighten that **** up! Manning no longer had time for things like vowels! :)

Good post but your last line is the one that really matters. Our coaching search was yet another example of how far we've fallen as a program. Heupel was literally the best we could get. Despite that, he's still a huge improvement over Pruitt. If given the choice of ANY coach, I wouldn't...

In general, the Transfer Portal is another way for the rich to get richer. The cream of the lower conference crop will jump at the chance to step up to the next level and enjoy the better coaching, training, facilities, tv exposure and, of course, fatter envelopes of cash. Effectively, the...

I was going to say Verne but Corsica works too.

Agree with all those but think Barnett was the most impressive. Rarely does a true freshman stack up in raw physical ability considering most linemen we went up against were upperclassmen in their 20's. Don't want to diminish Jamal and Berry but speed was their X factor whereas Barnett...

A good summary. The other issue with Chizik is compatibility. This reeks of the Charlie Weiss experiment at UF. Muschamp is the hot, young coaching prospect/D mastermind. UF's solution was to pair him with Charlie's fat ass and the outcome was as expected. It bombed and Charlie got another...

Gus and Cam won the Natty while Gene just happened to be the head coach. You don't go from losing record at ISU to Natty without a LOT of help.
