12 weeks 5 days ago	Does anybody know what	Does anybody know what position we're recruiting him for?  Linebacker or running back?
15 weeks 18 hours ago	Good thing Duke didn't shoot	Good thing Duke didn't shoot 41 free throws...
15 weeks 3 days ago	It probably didn't help that	It probably didn't help that Auburn's center called him the N word on his offical visit this weekend.  He left early because he was so pissed off.
16 weeks 19 hours ago	You make it sound like Duke	You make it sound like Duke or something.  Clemson is a sleeping giant if they ever got a good coach.
23 weeks 1 day ago	What qualifies these jobs as	What qualifies these jobs as a top coaching job?  They have a TON of pressure to succeed.  I'd rather coach a team like Clemson, Florida (before Spurrier) or LSU (before Saban/Miles) because the pressure is lower, they have some tradition, and in-state talent is amazing.
23 weeks 6 days ago	I know but I'd rather push	I know but I'd rather push our tempo then run the half court.  They're setting it up for us with their full court press, we're just being too slow throwing the ball in and pushing to the basket. I'm fine with not pressing in return and playing half court defense.
23 weeks 6 days ago	Everybody is playing sloppy	Everybody is playing sloppy but my biggest peeve is us slowing the pace down.  We should be running the court, we have the depth to do so.
26 weeks 4 days ago	If you think Rutgers or	If you think Rutgers or Maryland is actually bringing in the NYC and DC markets you are mistaken. Too diverse and care more about pro sports. Neither brings new footprints.
26 weeks 4 days ago	This is all true. DC is too	This is all true. DC is too diverse but Tech has the biggest share in northern VA, not UVA.
26 weeks 4 days ago	This is all true. DC is too	This is all true. DC is too diverse but Tech has the biggest share in northern VA, not UVA.
26 weeks 4 days ago	As someone who lives in	As someone who lives in Virginia, I'd like to know where the fuck you got that Tech is "second fiddle". It's completely the opposite.
26 weeks 5 days ago	Stanford and UCLA barely	Stanford and UCLA barely moved up!
27 weeks 18 min ago	A lot of basketball teams do	A lot of basketball teams do this from what I've heard.
27 weeks 18 min ago	You don't have a seat for	You don't have a seat for everyone though.  There are a lot of students that can't buy tickets or couldn't get tickets.  The students paying for tickets aren't the only people that want tickets, just the people that had the money to buy them.  Whether they chose to go to the game, arrive late, or sell them is up to them.
27 weeks 29 min ago	Because there are plenty of	Because there are plenty of students that want those seats.  I think that's pretty obvious with the amount of students there are.  The reason the student section doesn't fill is because students already have the tickets and can 1) be late because they still have that seat and 2) choose not to show up if they don't care about losing their money. The student section is the only thing that makes the stadium somewhat loud.  Other than that it's dead half the time.
27 weeks 6 hours ago	Trimming the student section	Trimming the student section isn't the solution nor is raising prices.  What we really should do is make student tickets free, first come first serve at the gate.  Then you couldn't sell tickets and no more waking up late or tailgating into game time because seats won't be there.
27 weeks 3 days ago	Vogrich's defense isn't very	Vogrich's defense isn't very good anyway.  Staukas looks really good shooting wise and his height is an advantage.
29 weeks 3 days ago	You're like the 100th person	You're like the 100th person to say this and I hate it everytime because not running Denard at all and complaining about it doesn't mean you should only run Denard.  You have to find a common balance and it doesn't ever seem like we do that.  Sometimes it changes drive to drive with run all the time then pass all the time.
29 weeks 5 days ago	Okay, Kansas State definitely	Okay, Kansas State definitely didn't dismantle Oklahoma but they also didn't luck into a win.  Oklahoma only had one turnover in the second half, the end of the 3rd quarter. Personally, I was surprised how well Notre Dame's offense played against Oklahoma, I don't think anyone expected over 400 yards of offense to be put up by them.  As for Notre Dame dismantling Oklahoma?  The score was tied with 5 minutes to go in the game, hardly "dismantling" despite the final score of 30-13.
29 weeks 5 days ago	3/16 passing, 38 yards, 3	3/16 passing, 38 yards, 3 interceptions, 0 yards rushing How could he honestly be worse?  Seriously?  Give the ball to the other team faster...?
30 weeks 5 hours ago	Hopefully Horford's injury	Hopefully Horford's injury isn't too bad and he can stay healthy throughout the season.  I hope we get him back for NC State.  It'd be tough to keep up a high ranking throughout the season if Horford is out unless McGary comes out and plays like Sullinger did.
30 weeks 4 days ago	I agree with your list the	I agree with your list the most.  Florida and Kansas State have the bigger named wins even though they might not have the margin of victory like Alabama and Oregon have had so far.  Notre Dame is barely winning but they also have a tough schedule. I think Alabama is still the best team in the nation though (but polls should try to minimize guessing as much as possible).  I think Florida and Alabama have the best defenses in the country but Alabama has a better offense than Florida.  Florida reminds me of LSU from last year, their offense isn't very good at all but they get points on the board because of their defense and special teams.
33 weeks 3 days ago	I'd love to change it up like	I'd love to change it up like that. It'd be nice for fans around the country to see us play, the only problem being either filling the stands or filling the stands till the point of crazy ticket prices. Notre Dame is way ahead of the curve by playing games all over. It only gives them media coverage and a recruiting incentive of playing all over the country. That's why ND would rather give up Big10 teams than USC/Stanford/whoever else, cause it gives them coverage elsewhere.
34 weeks 4 days ago	It's different though.	It's different though.  Sometimes players or teams just play poorly and actually don't execute well.  Borges is focusing on the wrong things though and isn't utilizing the best thing he's got, Denard.  The play calling is terrible for the type of quarterback that we have.
34 weeks 4 days ago	Stats are meaningless to what	Stats are meaningless to what Brian said.  Of course Denard played badly if the plays don't fit to his strengths...
35 weeks 3 days ago	Stepfan Taylor getting	Stepfan Taylor getting absolutely no respect.  He should be one of the favorites in my opinion.   Geno Smith is also a product of WVU's system.  He makes the system better because he's a good player but other QBs could step in and have ridiculous numbers too.  It's just like Oregon's system where they've had different running backs and QBs put in and still get similar results like the likes of LaMichael James and Darron Thomas.
37 weeks 5 hours ago	That's 18 points a quarter to	That's 18 points a quarter to cover.  FSU will constantly playing offense because Savannah State has no offense themselves (as well as FSU having a top-tier defense).  I'm not so sure that Savannah's D will be able to stop FSU's third stringers.  Savannah State is one of the worst teams in FCS (as in D-1AA).
37 weeks 6 hours ago	Yes, Savannah State IS that	Yes, Savannah State IS that bad.  They're a bottom dwelling FCS team that FSU had to schedule late because West Virginia backed out.  They had 139 yards against Oklahoma State and FSU's defense is lightyears ahead of Okie State's D.  FSU's third stringers will still be better than Savannah State (we'll see if their starters even get a full half in or not).  They need to score 18 points a quarter to beat the spread, that's not a whole lot when you're constantly playing offense the whole game because the opposing team doesn't have one...
37 weeks 2 days ago	Milliner had some great PBUs,	Milliner had some great PBUs, Gardner ran some bad routes, we had some drops, etc.  The first interception was a PI that wasn't called (that happened later in the game too, it was bullshit on how obvious both of them were).  The second was a legitimate bad pass right to Mosley.  Overall, I was impressed by Denard but his receivers (other than Gallon) and line didn't give much help.
37 weeks 2 days ago	I said the same thing as you,	I said the same thing as you, Denard was actually throwing the ball pretty well.  I watched a video of every pass from Denard against Bama and it only strengthened my opinion.  There was a lot of bad routes by Gardner, drops, and just good PBUs by Milliner.  He threw the quick slants pretty damn well and should've had a perfect pass to Gallon except their timing was about a foot off.  It's not like he had a ton of time to throw either like McCarron. People jump on the bandwagon that Denard is a bad passer and don't know what they're talking about.  I read a ton of comments (on the CFB sub-reddit on reddit.com) about how he threw terribly and I was bewildered because the mechanics weren't bad at all.
