NCAA Football, 2014-2015

So it looks like WVU has a good shot at getting the Liberty Bowl.  I can live with that

Sorry about the tough end to their season.  Texas had a nice run until the Thanksgiving Day Massacre.  Now they will get some middling SEC team in the Texas Bowl. 

November was an interesting turn for both teams.  Good for Texas, bad for WVU.  But WVU's overall season was a solid improvement over last year.  The defense is coming along and they may have found their starting QB for next year.

Also, I can't wait for the reaction from Herd Nation if/when WVU gets a nicer bowl than their team.

Arizona is the only team in both the football and basketball AP top-10.

Thank Bevo for Texas Basketball this season.  I hope everybody watches the 41-40 game against Kentucky this Friday (well actually considering their defense it might be 41-7 or something)

A Tennessee show?  WTF?  Does Texas look like Tennessee to you?

Well we are both Orange and go by 'UT'

And you both have the same sayings.

And Brady Hoke's been fired at Michigan.  Jim Harbaugh, come on down!

And Brady Hoke's been fired at Michigan.  Jim Harbaugh, come on down!

I think that would be a perfect fit for him, the team and the fan base.  He gets his full control, his players and recruits will totally eat up his psycho schtick, and he's a Michigan Man.  Everybody wins.

Goodbye Coach Fred Flintstone.

Tye best-connected guy on Michigan football, John U. Bacon, said yesterday that he thinks it's 50-50 that Harbaugh actually comes.  He said he'd bet the other odds as Les Miles 25%, someone else 25%.  And the guy knows Harbaugh and Miles personally.  Either of those guys would walk into a situation that has a team they would themselves recruit, s transition costs would be low.  Other guys, maybe not so much.

So Miles is getting tired of Saban kicking him around, huh.

[alfred russel]

he's a Michigan Man. 

The Michigan Man is no more. The AD of Michigan didn't just fire Hoke today, he also said this: "I want to get rid of the word Michigan Man".

RIP Michigan Man.

The national media was wrong about why Brandon was pushed out. It wasn't because he crapped on Michigan traditions to turn a buck. It was because he didn't go far enough. Not even Brandon would seek  to overturn the concept of the Michigan Man, or even strike the concept from the English language.

He should have run PSAs on the jumbotron, "Bo Schembechler: Ohio native". The band should stop playing old and outdated and misleading Hail to the Victors (champions of the west?) with an updated tune, "Maybe we will get Bowl Eligible this year." He should have razed the Big House and rebuilt a stadium out of used Dominos Pizza boxes.

Nice partial quote.

I assume one of those is a pity point.

Pity and effort.
