lokisnow Posted September 25, 2016 Author Share Posted September 25, 2016 Coach o! Coach o is a better head coach then Helton or Sark or kiffin, I'm jealous lsu gets to upgrade to him. Nevertheless, Crazy stupid of lsu to do this, hopefully they don't win the Tom Herman bowl. hehe, my new phone autocorrected kiffin to kidding. Appropriate.

Rhom Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Yeah. I saw some reports that they had already "reached out" to Briles and Herman. Both seem odd timing. Briles because that feels like something you'd have to be turned down once or twice before you went there, and Herman because it would be a big breach of etiquette to actually contact him or his people mid season. Also... according to the Auburn Football Facebook page, someone set the Toomer's Corner tree on fire last night. This is why we can't have nice things!!!

S John Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Be curious to see if Herman would go to LSU if Houston gets a Big 12 invite. No question that Houston has nowhere near the pedigree of LSU, but if Houston suddenly becomes power 5 football, is it worth it to start over 4 hours to the east with sky-high (and I would say, unrealistic) expectations?

Rhom Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 CBS takes a wild ass guess at ten candidates to replace Miles. Usual candidates mostly, (Herman) but a few surprising names in there too. They mention Petrino, but I'm still not convinced he leaves UofL just yet. (He has Lamar Jackson for another year.) Could you imagine what he could do with the recruiting base of LSU though?!!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbunting Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Pretty good win to open the B1G 10 schedule for Michigan. They looked dominant in all phases of the game. The real test comes next week against Wisconsin after they thrashed Sparty in East Lansing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhom Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 An LSU branded jet landed in Morgantown, WV and sent WVU fans into a panic... Seriously? They were worried that LSU would come steal Dana Holgerson?!!? Based on what I've seen from the limited sample size around here, I would have thought that would be celebrated in West Virginia...

Rhom Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 My understanding is that he was the primary candidate they wanted after giving Rich Rod the boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 That's quite fortunate for Michigan. Harbaugh, as insane as he is, is an amazing coach. Hell, Michigan and Ohio State feel like they are both restored to being serious perennial powers again with Meyer at tOSU. The Big 10 took some deserved hate in the last decade, but they seem to be really moving in the right direction at least at the top (sorry, Purdue). The LSU opening is obviously terrifying for the rest of the world. Someone on the radio threw out "why wouldn't they go after Petrino?" to which another person said Petrino would be crazy to leave Louisville while he's got Lamar Jackson.

Ded As Ned Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I think given Petrino's track record, it's easy to argue that he is crazy. But who knows... there's a first time for everything. Maybe this time when he says he's not leaving a school he will stick to it? Re: Michigan... I thought we were talking about 2014 when Harbaugh was hired...

HokieStone Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 So, apparently after the "Battle at Bristol", there's some rumblings about having more games at race tracks. Notably, in the case of "Everything is bigger in Texas", there's talk of having Texas-Texas A&M play at Texas Motor Speedway - http://www.foxsports.com/college-football/story/texas-motor-speedway-texas-texas-a-m-game-200-thousand-people-report-092916 Now, I went to the Bristol game. The viewing experience was...not good. But I knew that going in. However, that's only a 0.5 mile track. TMS is 1.5 miles. Here's an image showing just how ludicrous it would be - http://i.imgur.com/WOl3iG8.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonSnow4President Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 The whole concept is just stupid from a going to the game standpoint. I would love A&M to play against those orange horned *****'s sometime again, but home and home in 2 awesome stadiums, or a neutral site matchup in Reliant, Jerryworld, or the Cotton Bowl would be my vote.

Have to agree, doing it at pretty much any racetrack is stupid. You would be so far removed from the game it's ridiculous. I mean, they could play at Cowboys stadium and sell it out easily and actually have decent, normal viewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could sell out a lot more than Cowboys stadium (both schools have bigger stadiums). As small as Bristol is, it looked ridiculous on TV. It's just a gimmick to have a record.
