Either I made up lies about the Boston Bomber or I fell for someone else's crap. Either way, I have absolutely no credibility and you should never pay any attention to anything I say, no matter what the context. Perm me if I claim to be an insider
Hey Gaf,
Anyone else want to apply to be Head Coach at Wisconsin? There's a listing on their HR page.
Also, it appears the technical broadcast personnel of the Pac-12 network have gone on strike.

How does Manziel not get the "system QB" label Keenum got last year? It's the same system!
sec.
manziel had 22 of his tds against non conference opponents.
looking at his split compared to mariota and vs ap ranked opponents, mariota looks better.
wonder if ole miss/la tech beating a&m would have affected anything.

I don't see how. Marqise Lee wasn't even there.
A lot of his TDs are from him just running around and making something happen. So I guess that makes him a "play maker."

Yeah I already broke down Johnny Football's stats against good teams, I just did it without the pointless Marcus Mariota comparison.

Wouldn't it have been Te'o without Manziel? Or does Klein benefit from lacking split votes? If the former, no problem, man. If the latter: yes, your bad.
Emotional energy.
Tough to tell. The Baylor loss really took a lot of the wind out of Klein's sail. I'm actually surprised he got invited to New York over Barner or Lee. Klein seemed to completely just disappear from the media after KSU got beat down by Baylor.
If it makes you feel any better, we have to live with that fucking clip of Manziel bobbling the football and then nailing the guy who was wide open in the endzone because everybody in the stadium thought the ball was loose.

Matt Barkley sucks
So, who is the most underwhelming Heisman of the past 10 or so years, Manziel, Ingram, Troy Smith or Jason White?
Wow, I'm surprised to see Troy Smith got over 90% of the points when he won it.
Eric Crouch had less than 30%, good grief.
Man almost every award winner from that year was an NFL bust, sans Peppers.

Smith won it so handily because espn basically only covered Michigan and tOSU that year. Not saying he didn't deserve it, but that's how it worked. Then we crushed them in the MNC and espn turned to slobbering on the SEC.
Will people leave Manziel off their ballot completely next year to prevent him winning a second heisman?
I'd say Jason White.
The 1963 Rose Bowl was the first time #1 and #2 played in a Bowl Game:

Duke Football was ranked #8 that year

Think about how different UT's program would be perceived if they had gotten RG3 at quarterback... He's just as good as Colt and Vince were.
Garrett Gilbert was the downfall of that program.
A lot of people throw Ingram out as the answer to this list. I was kind of rooting for Teo to win the Heisman so that this question would be moot in the future.
Cal gets the last laugh.
Indeed. At least your abomination of a QB led to the head coach getting fired, while ours led to a pay raise.
Where the hell were these guys during the regular season? jagowar at least pokes his head in occasionally.
Yeah that little rally vs Bama set them so far back. Well, Mack staying and pushing out Muschamp is what really killed them. I figured they might have sunk far enough for the money guys to get upset, but I guess they gotta go lower
And your guy Gundy kind of is coming of as an ungrateful turd. I can't believe he's whining about playing a tough schedule. SOS is going to matter when the playoff comes
Agreed.
Thanks for that BTW

They caught whatever was going on with ND fans.
Nah bro, I graduated from a&m... And to answer ag's question. I was at the games
Although I do recall talking to him once or twice in here about a few of them... Specifically about my experience in Tuscaloosa after that glorious win. I poke my head in here from time to time.

Why would Penn State go from the B1G to a mid major?
Mid major conferences often have football teams that are much younger than the teams in the Big 10.
Well in that case I'm just jealous.

Colorado is looking at Dan Mullen. Ugh.
I feel awful for laughing at this.
Tell them to stop. I have already lucked out with the other SEC schools not hiring Petrino.

Petrino question during a presser received an "Absolutely not." from Colorado.
took me a second.
Coming to the cotton bowl? I just scored some tickets.
Kudos to him?
My excuse is the same as Homeboyd... have season tickets so I am at the games/tailgating and by the time I actually get on here its 40 or 50 pages back when the game was on. Even most of the away games and special events like the Heisman last night I watch at sportsbars.
Nice.... looking for some myself but not for the prices they are going on stubhub. Hoping I can find somebody selling one of those student standing room only tickets because I have a buddy who can get me into the club area but I have to get into jerryworld on my own.
Rumor is that Briles said no to Tech so now the top three candidates are Kliff Kingsbury, Chad Morris, and Brent Venables.
Kingsbury has the obvious Tech connection, Morris is a fast rising OC who coached our next QB in high school, and Venables played football with our AD at KSU.
::edit::
Maybe spoke a little too soon, updates keep making sure to stress that the amount of a buyout won't be a problem for these candidates but buyout was never going to be a problem at all except in Briles' case so I would guess the only reason they keep stressing it is that he's still in the mix.

Man, Kingsbury should be a starter int he NFL. Didn't he just bounce around to teams that had locks at QB and no chance to sniff starting?
Wiki says he was a practice squad member with the Patriots, Saints, Broncos, Jets, and Bills. If he was good enough to be a starter he would have at least broken into the two deep at one of those stops IMO.
The years he was at those stops the starters would have been names like Aaron Brooks, Todd Bouman, Brooks Bollinger, Vinnie Testaverde, Jake Plummer, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
Nah, can't make it down there. I was actually hoping for a Peach Bowl invite. Got some friends in that area and wouldn't have had to take days off of work. Still, should be a great game, probably the third best bowl behind MNC and Fiesta.
It's a better game than the MNC.
