    New coach search...

    Absent the ability to watch teams like Murray State, Buffalo, VCU, Indiana, etc. every game, I tend to fall back on finding out the teams' fans' reactions to losing their coaches. The IU fans I know (and, strangely, I know a bunch) and the ones I read online are almost unanimous in wanting Tom...

    Michigan taking another run at Harbaugh - $48M!

    It's overly simplistic to argue that he didn't win anything as an FBS coach. He took San Diego from 7-4 in his first season to back-to-back 11-1 seasons. Then he took Stanford (Stanford!) from 4-8 his first year to 12-1 three years later. No, he didn't win a championship, but that track record...

    Game Thread: ****Bama vs. MSU Pregame Thread****

    Roll Tide from dark (and seriously smoggy) Gurgaon, India! Now that I'm starting down the barrel of a 1:00 a.m. (local time) kick, I'll never complain about a noon kickoff time again. RTR

    I'm glad we're outside looking in

    It just doesn't matter. We lost the ability to complain about our ranking when we lost. College football has always been arbitrary--there's simply no conceivable way to "settle it on the field" (too many teams, not enough games), so every system we use will be necessarily flawed. The only way...

    I don't think there's any chance Hoke can survive 'The Shane Morris Incident'...

    The Michigan athletic department is a clown show right now, and it starts at the top. The program desperately needs a fresh start. As a Michigan alum, I'm all in favor of cleaning house and starting over. As to B1GTide's comment that Brady doesn't have a history of this, it's sad to say, but I...

    Question: How long before Evans is seeing major playing time?

    Situational isn't as much of an option against A&M or Auburn, given their pace of play. If we want him on the field in third-and-longs against those teams, he'll either have to be on the field for 1st down, or we'll have to force an incompletion or have some other clock-stopping play on 2nd...

    Game Thread: Abilene Christian vs. Georgia State

    GSU is trying to buy Turner Field, in order to convert it into a home football stadium. Seems like a good idea to me.

    Meet the Bag Man: How to Buy Players, in the Words of a Man Who Delivers the Money

    Very reputable. And he's not trying to expose a particular program, but rather detail a system. It's not investigative journalism, which is surely the only reason this bag man would go on the record. This seems like a very, very good and valuable piece of work to me. Thoroughly impressive.

    Game Thread: ****Bama vs. UK Game Thread***

    Let there be no complaining about the officiating for a while, unless you're a Kentucky fan. They got hosed on the last few calls in this game.

    Link: Nick Jacobs takes Leave of Absence

    I agree that the trend is troubling. On the court, and maybe this will be a minority opinion, but I think this will help the team play better. Jacobs was an unmitigated liability on defense, on the boards, and on the free throw line. He was frequently in the way on offense, and set ball...

    *** LB Rashaan Evans Signs With Alabama ***

    Re: *** LB Rashaan Evans Commits to Alabama *** What does this do to the commits who haven't signed yet? Or, will an already-signed recruit be asked to greyshirt now?

    Link: Three Departing Players Explain What Went Wrong in 2013

    Given that the talk is that those who didn't truly buy in will be playing elsewhere in the fall, is it reasonable at all that Vinnie was one of those who wasn't necessarily pulling in the right direction? I know we all loved the way he was playing, and you certainly can't fault his effort on the...

    2013-2014 College Football Coaching Carousel

    The OSU game was an absolute aberration. I watched all of their games this year (the wife and I are alumni), and trust me when I say the Michigan offense was a disgrace wrapped tightly in an abomination and served over a bed of 100% pure unmitigated fail. And it was everything--the playcalling...

    Game Thread: ***2014 BCSNCG*** Florida State vs. Auburn

    This game reminds me how much we are going to miss Mandell next year.
