This is a new thread and reward (kinda like the title belt) that I'm going to be presenting as I comb through some of the old threads. If your post appears here from a previous link, you win a Jeremiah. This is named after the biblical prophet Jeremiah, who never got anything wrong or - if you're not into that kinda thing - it's named after Jeremiah Castille, a little dude who was one of my favorite players, and whose prescience (which is what this is based upon) saved the 1987 AFC Championship for the Denver Broncos, as he stripped Earnest Byner on the attempted tying touchdown.
(I'll link the ones I've put elsewhere in the next few days).
Caveat: if your prediction was due to 'inside information' (such as Tide-HSV knowing Tubs was leaving Ole Miss driven by Stan the Caddy rather than in a pine box), you don't get one!!!!!
RULES
1) Prediction must be at least a year ago.
2) If it was fulfilled to the letter you get a Jeremiah.
3) If it was a strong suggestion that was followed and shows incredible wisdom in the outcome - you get 1/2 of a Jeremiah (this is my version of the 1/2 sack).
4) Predicting Alabama will beat team X is NOT eligible for the award, either, unless you predicted Alabama would win a specific year national title at least one year in advance).
All judgments are mine and mine alone. I HOPE we can have a bit of fun with this.
This first poster gets 1/2 of a Jeremiah, and his name is Wylie Texas Tider, who strongly suggested Clemson should hire Dabo Swinney over Bobby Johnson
More to come.....

I agree with Johnson possibly being choice #1 but, if Dabo does well why not give him a chance? I bet he would relate with the players well and you always hear good things about his coaching. If he does really well he could "come home" when Saban retires in 15 years with multiple NC's.
