LOL, truth.

Both Saban and Petrino sucked at the NFL level and couldn't win. Harbaugh won plenty. So, makes sense for them to have left, but not him. Also, I'll stand by what I said about Meyer back when he got hired: if he wins us two NCs and leaves in five years, then I'm fine with that. I remember how stupid whiny the Florida fan base was when he left, then came back to coaching. Idiots, he won you 2 national championships.

Harbaugh is weird. I didn't realize just how weird he is until more recently. I have my doubts that he'll lead Michigan to the Renaissance most are expecting. I think he's kind of a train wreck waiting to happen. Think about it - he left the NFL after being uniformly successful there. Who does that? What would cause that kind of situation, where a guy who is doing great by most accounts opts to leave and go to a job that almost everyone would see as a step down? I get it that he was kind of an ass with the higher ups in San Fran and there was a lot of friction. Still, it's bad business to let a good coach go...unless there's something else going on. I think Michigan rides the adrenaline to a respectable record this year, like 9-3 or something. Then they steadily decompensate.

It kind of did feel a little bit like Christmas when I woke up this morning.

I recused myself. I also just signed up for Sling TV. (I cut the cable about a year ago.) I now have ESPN and ESPN2.

Your sarcasm cuts deep, like a sharp sarcastic knife.

Your exhibit has been entered into evidence and will be considered by this Court, counselor. I am inclined to agree with your intimation that Ohio State is not donning stupid neon green buckeye leaves on their helmets just to troll a one very charismatic and perpetually fit Tilley. However, this, perhaps, leaves Ohio State - and my pun was very much intended, counselor - in an even less enviable position of simply being idiotic and clueless. With the troll hypothesis, there is at least some method to their insanity; without it, we are left the conclusion that Ohio State is just plain stupid. I will deliberate and offer my final judgment on this issue at a later date. Thank you, counselor.

I've never been lucky in love.

The only thing better than that chick's bike skills is the song from the movie Rad.

Those are some really good matchups - Texas v Notre Dame pits blue bloods against each other. Louisville is one of those teams that might forget they are supposed to lose to a "superior" team - and don't they have Pitrino back? He is a douche, but he can coach college ball pretty well.

I'm with you on UCLA possibly making noise this year. Wouldn't be surprised if they win the Pac12.

Just FYI/warning: LA fitness on Goodale (Grandview Yard) gets le stupid busy during peak hours. Younger crowd and sometimes it feels like you're in a nightclub.

Not even an upset in my book. I really like Minnesota. I'm looking for them to beat TCU.

I think it's going to be very difficult for any conference to get 2 teams into the playoff, since that means 2 conferences will be left out. For that to happen, the conferences being left out need to have a 2 loss champion, and the one conference that gets two teams in has in it's second-team-in a team that only loss was to the conference champion. For instance, it could be: 1. Ohio State 2. Arizona 3. Alabama 4. Michigan State *B12 is anarchy in this scenario and the ACC just sucks. *Michigan State beats everyone handily, loses close game at Ohio State late in the season *Ohio State beats up B10 West team in conference championship, something not even competitive What do you guys think?

I had one in high school. Blew the turbo up on it - probably too much brake boosting in front of Taco Bell by Eastland Mall. To this day it is likely the funnest car I have ever owned.

I wanted to pick both Oklahoma and Georgia for the playoff, but those two teams consistently troll me year in and year out. I think (hope) USC turns into a car fire. I think Oregon will be vulnerable with a new QB. Arizona will be in the mix, but I'm giving the nod to Arizona State in the South and the Pac12 in total. This is the year Clemson stops being Clemson and gets off the snide. Of course, Clemson is another one of those teams that troll people year in and year out. So, maybe I'm being idiotic for picking them. I think TCU is not as good as what people think they are. I think Baylor remembers it's Baylor and implodes with all it's rapist on campus shit. Oklahoma will shit the bed like clockwork. Big12 doesn't have a championship game. Perfect reason for them to be left out of the playoff again. Since Georgia will manage to self-destruct like clockwork and the rest of the SEC East is the equivalent of the Groveports and Hamilton Townships, that means it has to be an SEC West team in the playoff. Pick one. I picked Auburn. I could have easily have picked LSU or Bama. Whatever - any of those teams is going to get straight fucking smoked by Ohio State in the playoff.

Predictions for Playoff: 1. Ohio State 2. Arizona State 3. Auburn 4. Clemson

This is my excuse to go to a sports bar.

+rep for an entire month Flawless

Fired with cause, too. Booyah, get out, no buyout, nothing. Get lost.

I hate Illinois.

This will go well.

If Ohio State goes in and just stomps VT, the street cred will go through the roof. Miller will was a serviceable QB because he is such a phenomenal athlete. Mike Vick was the same way. I'm really looking forward to what Miller can do in his new role. Pryor also comes to mind as guys that probably shouldn't be QBs but could be because of their athleticism. Remember when Pryor was catching passes against Texas in the bowl game? I came.

Doesn't Bama play Wisconsin in the opener? Answer: yup Wife Has New D's Prediction: Alabama - 35, Wisconsin - 76

True, VT kept so many drives alive last year because of miraculous/almost-never-happens plays. 3rd and 21? Brewster scrambles for life, throws up a prayer, caught by VT for a gain of 24. That kind of shit. I like how you guys are talking me off the ledge. Keep that up. Sol, you're right - how can we have fear when we have Cardale? He would laugh in the face of Ghenghis Khan, let alone Bud Foster. BTW, I think JT is the better QB than Cardale. I think Cardale has more potential, but I think JT is better for this team and in this offense and will put up the better numbers. Have I said that already? It feels like I have. Oh well, read it again and enjoy my words of genius and charisma and wisdom. My Nervous Nancy prediction: Ohio State 27, VT 24 My No Fucks Given prediction: Ohio State 54, VT 17
