Rutgers outscored 31-10 in the second half for the 5 pt loss. Give up 660 yards and 4 TD runs of 40+ yards. Maryland (2 wins, no coach) runs 40 times for 400 yards. Flood and Hermann need to be gone.

I don't know enough about what Hermann has or hasn't done and whether she should be fired, but Flood should have been let go months ago. It's not coincidence that the team's best performance of the season was a game Flood wasn't even on the sidelines for.

Atocep · 11-28-2015, 03:25 PM

I think Flood became the first person to ever be outcoached by Mike Locksley today.

And there's still a chance that they don't fire him.

Yes! IU beats Purdue to get the Bucket for 3 straight years. We're bowl eligible! So happy for Coach Wilson and the boys!

Congrats to tarcone and his Hawkeyes too.

I would have paid admission to see Foster get the coaching job. Seeing how long it would take him to do/say something stupid and get fired would have been worth it.

I really hate the Egg Bowl the last couple if years. Last year, Ole Miss screwed up Mississippi States bid for the playoff...and this year the Bulldogs are poised to screw up Ole Miss' chance at the SEC title. I would much prefer either team be good rather than both. But....having said that, I hope Alabama wins and Ole Miss loses....just to get them back. Karma and all that.

Thomkal · 11-28-2015, 04:36 PM

Citadel 41....Coastal Carolina 38

HomerSimpson98 · 11-28-2015, 04:37 PM

None of the "upper echelon" teams look very impressive today. If thats what Clemson is, my goodness. I know the Cocks royally suck.

I can't really argue with my son's take on things:

Good for Indiana. Happy to see them get a bowl bid. That's a good offense they have. Congrats, Kodos.

Seriously, the way my sporting week is going no way UCLA doesn't win this as time expires

miami_fan · 11-28-2015, 05:40 PM

Brian Kelly needs to go to Auburn and kick the shit out of Muschamp

miami_fan · 11-28-2015, 06:07 PM

44 carries. Alabama doesn't have ANY other RB besides Henry?

bronconick · 11-28-2015, 06:13 PM

Maybe Saban "told" his other running backs to take medical redshirts so he could recruit a dozen more?

Eaglesfan27 · 11-28-2015, 06:22 PM

Great team effort by USC today to beat UCLA 40-21 and win the Pac12 South Championship. Looking forward to the rematch with Stanford.

Primary backup Kenyan Drake is out with a broken arm, plus Henry is going for a Heisman and the school's single season rushing record.

19 carries in the fourth quarter might have been a tad much but the game was still in doubt for most of those and it did work for taking up over 10 minutes of possession in the final quarter.

The SEC is stripped of all their football programs and forced to become a basketball conference.

Lol yeah no shit....so based on the way things are going it looks like the 4 playoff teams are as I suspected a few weeks ago BIG 10 winner , ACC winner if Clemson, SEC winner and Oklahoma.

I hate to say it but even as a ND homer I can't put them ahead of Oklahoma. That is if they can pull it out here against Stanford. Oklahoma looks much more dominant against OSU up thru three quarters.
It will be entertaining when the 5th team is ND that gets left out. When all the old timer ND fanbase goes crazy over not getting in I would say we see the eight team playoff pretty damn soon like 2017 season.

Or they figure out that they'll need to actually legit join a conference to be more than an afterthought.

Honestly, I don't know how much "old timer ND fanbase" is left, not that has any sway or particular relevance. The 70s and 80s are over, Notre Dame is just another program in today's landscape.

bhlloy · 11-28-2015, 09:47 PM

Stanford doing everything they can to let ND score with no time left. Doesn't make any sense

edit - didn't look like a TD but that's better for Stanford with 3 TO

kingfc22 · 11-28-2015, 09:57 PM

Don't have to worry about the Irish taking up a spot in the playoffs.

bhlloy · 11-28-2015, 09:58 PM

Blown call by the replay booth in ND favor gave Stanford a chance. Hell of a game.

Atocep · 11-28-2015, 10:02 PM

Clemson, Oklahoma, Alabama makes for an interesting playoff regardless of who gets in from the Big 10.

Yeah it would have been better for ND for the QBs knee have been called down and they could have run more time off the clock. Oh well great season by ND with all the injuries.

First I agree and welcome them joining the ACC. They may still be just anther program but they seem to have plenty of money and influence to have their own football tv deal so that is that too.

Sure will. I am not sure Clemson is the top team in that group, but guess that is the point of the playoff.

digamma · 11-29-2015, 05:45 AM

It's hard to look like the best team for 14 or 15 weeks. Clemson looked like the best team in the nation from mid-October through the first week or two of November. They've looked a little more down to earth the last couple of weeks. Similarly Alabama looked pretty pedestrian in late September and early October. They look like they live up to their hype right now. Oklahoma is probably right there with them at the moment.

Guess those boys took that shit to heart....

In any event, the Bulldogs had a helluva year considering they lost 10 starters last year....including their running back Josh Robinson....and suffered way too many injuries in their secondary. Hopefully recruiting has been kind to them (something I don't follow).

Eaglesfan27 · 11-29-2015, 07:01 AM

LSU's AD says that Miles will remain the coach.

bronconick · 11-29-2015, 07:36 AM

Either Jimbo said no and they had no plan B or the whole thing was the AD making a power play and getting burned.

CU Tiger · 11-29-2015, 09:20 AM

Not sure who here follows LSU or has any insight but the word locally is that Jimbo to LSU was all but a done deal until Jimmy Sexton ran the price up to $6MM/yr.

On a totally unrelated note great daay to be a CLEMSON fan.
12-0 for the 2nd time in my life. I wasnt a Tiger fan, nor old enough to remember it, the first time.

Lots of trash to clean up or it will all crash next week, but its good to be 12-0 for today.

digamma · 11-29-2015, 09:29 AM

I read something similar about Jimbo and LSU.

MizzouRah · 11-29-2015, 09:30 AM

Well, if your boosters publicly try to run your coach off like LSU, any coaches agent better ask for the moon.

CU Tiger · 11-29-2015, 11:23 AM

UGA has apparently fired Mark Richt

digamma · 11-29-2015, 11:35 AM

Georgia should make a run at the Hat. That would be a hoot.

Not sure who Georgia would hire that is available and really an upgrade from Richt. Mullen seems to be the name people are throwing around. Really? I mean he had a nice year last year and all, but if the reason for firing Richt was that he fell down against good teams, Mullen's SEC wins this year were against teams with a combined 10-22 record.

CU Tiger · 11-29-2015, 11:39 AM

Smart?
That is the name I keep hearing.

That was going to be my notion as well. Even the CMR backers can't really go all out against Smart since he's an alum.

digamma · 11-29-2015, 11:45 AM

I can see that, but again, is that really an upgrade? I would think big schools might be a little skeptical of that approach given the Florida/Muschamp experience.

CU Tiger · 11-29-2015, 11:46 AM

I've said openly around here I wanted Smart as SC, only because I think he is a flop looking for a place to happen.

Smart is an ok recruiter, at Bama. He is a good DC, with Bama talent...and Saban looking over his shoulder.

Anything at least has a chance to be an upgrade, given Richt's proven inability to get them over the hump.

I listened to some early pre-pre-tailgate show stuff yesterday while running errands. The phrase being used was "should consistently be a top five program, this is a top five job". I don't agree with that take but that's a lot of the mindset IMO.

I think the Muschamp scenario is possible but at the same time, look at the job McIlwain has done without a stuffed cupboard. You can find coaches that elevate teams. Georgia doesn't have one, they want one, so they'll try to find one.

General Mike · 11-29-2015, 11:55 AM

Rutgers fires AD Hermann.

Well it's one shoe. Hopefully the other drops relatively soon.
