[CFB] 08-09 Season Extravaganza

[Twobit Whore]

Of course it's about money but it's how those conferences get their money. Adding a +1 or +2 or anything would only generate MORE money but that money would go to people other than the conferences who are against it. Then they bring up fucking pathetic excuses 'Unprecedented state of health'? For who? Your boosters? Yeah, fuck that. Would make the season too long and encroach on the 2nd semester? Right, but we can have college basketball teams spend a month straight on the road.

Some conferences are simply afraid their meal ticket will be taken away. They need guarantees that they will have 1-2 teams in the BCS and having to prove it on the field is a fuckload harder than relying on your bowl tie-ins. The Rose Bowl is fucking everything up, bottom line. They need to kick it out of the BCS.

In the end you are right though. As long as people still watch the games and the league pulls in billions then why change? For the fans? Pfft, fuck the fans. Pay my school for nothing.

LSU boots quarterback Ryan Perrilloux off team looks to be for good this time.

oh and Sagarin uses the ELO chess ratings for the BCS and would have been
1. LSU
2. Kansas
3. UGA
4. Mizzou

yawn.

seed them going into the bowls. make more money or at least just as much. only 2 teams play 1 extra game, no big deal. if your ranked 5th whine all you want. you have to cut off somewhere and 4 keeps the best regular season in any sport while having the excitement of those 3 games being through the roof

[Geaux]

oh fuck me, Lee(rs Fr)/Hatch(Harvard transfer) first SEC game will be @Auburn. @Auburn, @USC, @Florida, and UGA at home in a 5 game stretch. game over.

can we make those playoffs 28 teams deep just for this year?

[Twobit Whore]

While that clearly costs us our season, fuck it. Get rid of him and move on. Either develop one of these new guys or recruit another one for the year after. Tired of his bullshit and dragging the team down with uncertainty. At least Miles had to know this was coming and hopefully has been counting on competition for the starting job.

[Geaux]

yeah, just hope his recruitment was clean at this point.

speaking of recruiting...
#4 ranked Player and hes a good character guy as well.

[kedwyn]

I'm glad, took some pretty big balls for Miles to kick his ass out. He is obviously physically talented but if he can't play by the rules at this stage he'll end up another Cecil the Diesel.

Doubtful it would have looked like that when all was said and done.

What an idiot. Apparently multiple failures. Cocaine goes the rumor. Dude could have written his ticket.

[Geaux]

for a crack head he was a pretty good QB

[Twobit Whore]

If he progressed in his next 2 years like he seemed to be last year, he just threw away a first round draft pick. The kid could flat out play. Now he will be lucky to land a role at a D2 school and with the NFL as shaky as it is regarding character, I don't see a team taking any chance with him.

[Genjiro]

All of these douchebags deserve it, we had a nice run of character schollies a few years ago with Pacman and Chris Henry and I hope they fucking end up destitute on some street corner after wasting such talent. RR however didnt have the intestinal fortitude to cut them even after many fights and other shit they both did at school.

If I could do the shit those kids could, I'd be wearing horned rim glases, an active boy scout, and drinking milk and cookies every night. Fucking assholes, what a waste.

[Genjiro]

Noel Devine video of his freshmen highlights made by a couple of WVU fan posters on the scout.com site (yea, its a homer video). After seeing him shred OUs defense with that entire returning O line and Pat White (along with leading all freshmen in the nation in average yards per carry), I could easily see him leading the nation in rushing yards this year, but there are some other great RBs out there as well...Knowshon Moreno, McKnight, Wells, the kid from OU and so forth (btw who is the new guy going to be for Texas Ham-n-Cheese?). This is a great year to be a big fan of running backs (like me), I love watching all those kids play. I think he has a legit shot to be in the running for heisman, I mean, to be the most highly recruited player out of the state of Florida since Deion Sanders, he lives up to the hype.

The run at 2:35 is just plain fucking sick (lol, note the 2 Maryland defenders hitting each other trying to tackle him), looked like Barry Sanders son or some shit (even the gameday ESPN crew on that game were like, "yea that was Barry Sanders like").




Other notable Devine quotes as testament to his godliness out of high school, and he barely got any PT this year with Mr lost-a-step Slaton as the starter:

"His junior tape is nothing short of extraordinary. The Class of 2007 marks my fifth class of scouting in the field, and this is the best high school player I've seen." --Scott Kennedy, Scout.com

"He's the best high school player I've ever seen, and that includes Reggie Bush." --Mike Farrell, Rivals.com

"There is speed, and then there is Noel Devine. Some players can accelerate out of cuts to show their cat-like quickness; Devine actually accelerates through his cuts. I've never seen a player continue to get faster while he is changing directions." --Scott Kennedy, Scout.com

If it's not obvious, I have a hardcore mancrush and would have his half black babies np.

Now away from my complete homerish Devine manlove:


Other things I'm looking forward to this year:

October 24th: Morgantown, WV Thursday night: WVU vs Auburn. Auburn, thank you for being one of the very few SEC teams not afraid to leave the south and play a tough OOC game. This game should be great, and Auburn fans seem to think they will beat us...little do they realize late October nights in Morgantown are fucking cold as hell. Weather might be a huge factor. Another thing Auburn fans dont realize, the spread of WVU is something nobody outside of the Big East has seen due to Pat White. Tebow, while incredible, is a fullback...Pat White can legitimately outrun most anyone on a defense (he was originally recruited by LSU to play CB....if that tells you anything about his speed). That said, Auburn does have a great D, but I think we win due to Auburn installing a new spread offense they have little to no experience running.

WVU at Colorado. CU go the best RB in the nation out of high school going into this year, Darrell Scott--whose hs tapes were crazy. Should be awesome seeing him and Devine on the field, but this game scares me more than any due to climate/altitude change. CU seems to be a team on the rise.

The entire SEC. Who will win it? This year with all the new studs gotten by Bama (best recruiting class in the country, gotta give Saban credit).-- Auburn, Florida, LSU (though now without RP will be very tough) and of course Georgia. I'm excited I'll get to watch all those games this year living down here in Atlanta.

OSU vs USC early, if you want the monkey off your back, this would be the first step in doing so Buckeyes.

AU beats WVU.

West could be won by any of three teams.

Florida wins the East and the SEC.

Some other teams out there are going to get it in the pooper in NCAA 09!
