It says a lot about the current state of Texas Tech that the beauty of their head coach is the only item of interest.

Only three things have ever been of interest for Texas Tech football. Or Texas Tech in general:

1) That weird but hilarious head coach they had, that thought he was a pirate and locked some D Bag in the closet.
2) A truly beautiful man as head coach.
3) The glory days of the air raid.

2 out of 3 involve head coach hiring decisions. Guns Up! :alberta:

Well, at least they have that.  About the only thing interesting about WVU these days is that their coach smashes 3 headsets per game while chugging Red Bull and has an insane buyout in his contract.  I was mildly surprised they got two guys drafted this year.

I thought htis article was interesting: http://www.blackheartgoldpants.com/football/2014/5/14/5713374/how-iowa-recruits-still-make-the-nfl-despite-blue-chip-dominance

basically, its an article by the excellent "Black Hearts, Gold Pants" Iowa blog about how and why Iowa sends so many lowly-ranked-as-recruits players to the NFL.  I thought the point about recruiting QBs as athletes and then slotting them into where they were needed was an especially interesting one. 

Iowa may schedule like crap, and get regularly beaten by Iowa State teams they should crush, but it is an entertaining team with a lot of heart.  It is probably my third or fourth-favorite Big Ten team.

Miami of Florida sucks cock.

It is the only team more despicable than the Florida gators.

I just wanted to clear that up for y'all.

People with small provincial worldviews will often mistake the two big in state rivals of their team as the most despicable in the country.  :console:

As someone who is objective on this stuff, and can see the big picture, let me assure you that the most despicable team is the Florida Gators.  :)

Ill grant you it's a close question and in a state known for close calls the gators and the canes are merely a few hanging chads apart.

I will give you the three most evil programs in the history of college football, in descending order.

1. The Florida Gators.

2. Ohio State.

3. Penn State back when they were ass raping all those kids in the shower.

Hiring Urban Meyer was a real coup for your program in the evilness ratings.

If you can get Maurice Clarrett to coach running backs and Jerry Sandusky as defensive coordinator, you will be in position to give Florida a run for its money.

The Rice Owls just landed crazy CdM Quarterback:

QuotePussy is going to college



In college football recruiting, as long as it's within the rules, it's never a bad idea to go above and beyond to show how much you want a player. Coaches get to know an athlete's parents, and that can ultimately mean a coach knowing every little detail about a recruit.

The Rice Owls took it one step further this week. Rice showed love to a recruit's cat. And apparently, it worked.

Rice picked up a commit in three-star quarterback J.T. Granato from The Kinkaid School in Houston. According to Houston TV station KRIV, Rice scored the commitment after mailing -- get this -- a handwritten note to Granato's cat, White Sox.

This was posted on the Twitter account of Granato's father, John:

@JTGranato10 committed to Rice today. Rice closed the deal by sending JT's cat a recruiting letter. Well done Owls pic.twitter.com/NBCqPX7PIG

— John Granato (@johngranato) May 16, 2014


The note in the letter -- which was addressed to "Kitty Granato," read, "Please help us to get J.T. to choose Rice." It then added, "Paw me in case you have any questions."

Granato had offers from Rice and Houston and interest from multiple schools from coast to coast, including Texas A&M, Maryland, Houston, TCU and Yale. He thought Rice's gesture was extremely creative, but he also recognized that the program really wanted him. Really, really wanted him.

"I mean it was really funny honestly," Granato said. "It was just so crazy how hard they recruited me."

When asked about the cat's thoughts, Granato said: "She didn't care. She doesn't care about anything."

How often can someone admit a cat helped to get him a scholarship? So much for dogs being man's best friend in the Granato home.

All jokes aside, Rice is getting a quarterback who put up solid numbers en route to winning Texas' Southwest Preparatory Conference state championship last season. Granato threw for nearly 3,400 yards and 42 touchdowns.
