    Not feeling good about the Iron Bowl at all

    What specifically is "the situation with JM"? Why would it be assumed that others would "go with him" in the portal? It sounds like there's some incredibly serious problem that's not being stated here. If this "situation" is something that someone with Saban's clout chose not to address...

    Four Team Playoff-Ducks, Barn, Frogs, Noisy- Who Wins It?

    Assuming these are at relatively neutral sites: Boise State beats Oregon (just like they did last year) TCU beats Auburn Boise State beats TCU (just like they did last year)

    Link: Nebraska vs. Boise St falls through due to Broncos' money demands

    Colorado just got $1.4 million to play Ohio State. Doesn't seem like Boise State is being unreasonable at all.

    Question: So Was Florida Rusty Saturday OR Do They Miss Tebow That Much?

    Mullen was Meyer's quarterbacks coach at Bowling Green and Utah. He wasn't an OC until coming to Florida. Mike Sanford (now at Louisville) was the OC at Utah.

    Question: So Was Florida Rusty Saturday OR Do They Miss Tebow That Much?

    The only serious problem at Florida (and it is very serious) is that our offensive coordinator has no business being in that position. Addazio was an adequate OL coach but is in way over his head as coordinator. Since saturday, the main debate among Gator fans has been whether the problem is...

    Volunteer terrorists seek to attack Israel

    The tactics you mention qualify as terrorism. There are a number of options. Iraq style counter insurgencies are the most palatable but result in more casualties for the Israeli side. Strategic strikes on terror targets, which has been the most common method, causes more civilian casualties...

    Volunteer terrorists seek to attack Israel

    I think the words used here need to be defined carefully so that unintended meanings aren't conveyed. To me, "terrorism" is restricted to deadly acts of violence that are designed to instill terror, panic, or fear into a population. If the acts are targeted against a government or military...

    Link: Tom Dienhart reports on the Auburn/ Auburn hires Gene Chizik as new football coach

    True that MSU also took a chance on an unproven coordinator, but they have fewer resources than the other three and a much tougher road to success. They weren't in a position to be as choosy, but if reports were correct, they at least tried to get Chris Peterson. It seems they had a different...

    Link: Tom Dienhart reports on the Auburn/ Auburn hires Gene Chizik as new football coach

    There have been some strange hires at schools in the southeast this year. Tennessee, Clemson, and now Auburn. All 3 could have done better IMO. Proven winners were available throughout the country (Leach, Petersen, Kelly, Graham, Whittingham, etc) but they instead decided to take chances on...

    Link: Tom Dienhart reports on the Auburn/ Auburn hires Gene Chizik as new football coach

    Re: Tom Dienhart reports on the Auburn coaching search If true, this is one of the craziest hires I've ever seen. Reading the Auburn forums it reminds me of the day Ron Zook was hired, only worse.

    Beyond Bush: How do Republicans win in 2010 & 2012?

    I agree with BamaSC's last point - they're charging full speed toward regional party status. Given the current makeup of the party, I don't see that changing. The sooner they purge themselves of what's known as the "base," (or at least the stench eminating from it) the sooner they'll have a...

    Beyond Bush: How do Democrats win in 2010 & 2012?

    If I had to predict, I'd say Dems will lose a few house seats and gain 1 or 2 senate seats in 2010. In 2012, they'll likely retain the presidency, gain a few in the house and lose 4 or more in the Senate. In other words, they'll maintain control. But Democrats' chances in the coming...

    Link: Bama-Clemson ABC/ESPN Gameplan TV coverage map

    Re: ABC coverage map for Clemson Game This was a nice surprise. Looks like I'll get to see it -- just barely. Normally we get stuck with big 10 games whenever they're regional. I have no clue why they're showing MSU/UC in selected parts of Iowa and SD.

    Auburn names Tony Franklin offensive coordinator

    I don't know where some are getting the idea that Auburn would be taking a great risk by installing Franklin's offense. Their current offense was ranked 101st in the nation this year. It wouldn't take much to improve on that.

    Nuclear Arms Race in the SEC

    I don't know about that..... I'm having a hard enough time accepting Tennessee or LSU as the SEC champ.

    Nuclear Arms Race in the SEC

    It's definitely exciting. But it's becoming more like the NFL in that good teams are going to have to accept losses, especially in this very balanced conference. We need a playoff more than ever.

    16 Team Playoff: How It Might Look

    That's beautiful. I'd love to see that. 16 is the perfect number. Not sure that every conference (e.g. Sun Belt) should get an automatic bid though.

    ***Jeff Bower fired/resigns from Southern Miss***

    Re: ***Jeff Bower fired from Southern Miss*** From '96-'00 USM was perceived as a really good team that no one wanted to face. It seemed that they had a chance against anyone. But they slipped down a notch . Maybe not that much, but home and opposing fans no longer have high hopes or worry...

    Spurrier finally got a taste of his own medicine with late score by Florida

    I don't have a problem with it, no matter which team it is. Spurrier can handle it and will just use it as extra motivation. I really don't understand why people get so worked up about lopsided scores. It's still an L, whether it's by 5 or 50. Some need thicker skin.
