    Has Any Coaching Hire Got This Much Attention?

    Spurrier to the NFL got huge coverage, as well as his return to SC. The whole Notre Dame/Florida/Urban Meyer/Charlie Wiess thing also got huge pub. Did they get more than the Alabama/Rich Rodriguez/Mal Moore/Nick Saban saga? Maybe, but if so not much more. Great hire guys and good luck next...

    **official Bama Gameday Thread Part II**

    They screwed up horribly on both teams. Apparently the OSU tight end Justin Waller is "Justin Walker" and your fullback Castille is "Castillo". Ouch. Gary Thorn can pronounce the most complicated French-Canadian names the NHL can throw at him yet he can't announce a college football bowl game...

    DeMeco Ryans

    The best thing about picking Williams at #1 is the Texans didn't pick a DE in the 2nd round and got DeMeco instead!

    Vatican smoke???

    I dont' know if the Pope would leave for Alabama. You guys have great tradition and all but the Vatican has you by about 1,000 years. :tongue:

    New Miami Coach

    Forget those guys. Mike Gundy is breathing a huge sigh of relief! OSU has not beaten Tech in Lubbock since the Big XII began. This year we were close but getting Leach out of there is fine by me!

    Playoff

    My ideal situation would be: 16 team playoff 13 conference champions - the champion of every conference will be represented, silencing all the whining from the smaller guys 3 at large teams - allows for the Michigans, LSUs, USCs, NDs a shot 1st round games (maybe even 1st 2 rounds) would be...

    D'oh! That's what I meant.

    Who Are Our Best Current Coaches?

    Kines is an outstanding DC (who OSU nearly hired as HC in '95) and I'm sure he's on the radar for the DC job at plenty of programs. If the new HC wants to retain him they better act quick. My money is on him replacing Gene Chizik at UT. I'd like to personally thank Coach Kines (and your LB...

    NewsOK.com says "'Bama hire could affect Fedora" (OkST OC)

    My non-insider opinion is I doubt Fedora would make a lateral move at this point. (By lateral I mean to another OC job, not lateral like OSU = FSU) The Fedora offensive system is complex and takes at least 2-3 years before the entire thing can be unleashed. A prime example is the quantum leap...
