The Ultimate College Football Thread!!!!!!!!! OMG - Part 1 1

This is a continuation thread, the old thread is [split]376983[/split]

Oye! Oye! After last year's magnanimous gesture, where I allowed someone else to win the Bowl Season Pick 'Em Challenge and be deemed worthy of creating this thread (which, as it turns out, isn't tax deductible ), I have reclaimed the thread-creating throne. My masterful display of intuition and competence was more than enough to scare away the grand majority of those interested and to easily outdistance (read: thrash) those audacious enough to face me. Bow down to the King.

Now, with the pleasantries and modesty out of the way, let's talk NCAA Football.

Allow me to pose a few inquiries that shall fall into our scope during this campaign:

• What unknowing suspect from a non-elitist conference dare to go undefeated only to be left with a consolation prize to the so-called National Championship Game...which is informally becoming known as the SEC Invitational?
• Will Urban Meyer manage to commit recruiting violations even though he no longer is coaching?
• Will Lane Kiffin, refusing to be outdone, trump Meyer on the violations tally?
• Will Meyer actually get his Favre on again and come back to coaching?
• Is this the year that sees bowl game participation span to include 75% of all possible D-1A teams with the additions of such future stalwarts as the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal Bowl, the $9.99 Sizzler Buffet Bowl and the Fruit of the Loom Boxer Briefs (aka The Best of Both Worlds) Bowl?
• How will the college football infrastructure survive another year without Tim Tebow?
• After another failed outing and the veritable Kiss of Death resulting from one of his College Gameday picks, will some overreaching alumni base seek to sue Lee Corso for intentional infliction of emotional distress?
• Will the FCC finally take heed to my letters of complaint regarding Oregon's uniforms?
• Alternatively, with the recent seizure of varied pirated stream websites by ICE/Homeland Security, do I have other avenues of recourse? (Note: I haven't figured out the connection here, but I'll try anything). (Note 2: I'm inordinately pissed about this... the website seizures and Oregon's uniforms).

It's National Signing Day. Take the time to slam some unwitting 18-year old who dares turn down your favorite institution of higher learning. I've done it before. Feels good.

Off we go!

Dang, that's rough.

Something I found funny while looking at fan gear online is Nike is producing an Oregon Duck shirt that uses the exact same photo as my avatar. Must be a pretty good photo if they want to use it on a shirt.

 

[Immortalfire]

They were inspired by you.

I wonder which division my Terps will belong to in the Big 10. They're not leaders or legends.

SHSU and E. Wash got it tied up.

 

[Immortalfire]

I was asked if I thought in the next five years, would a player other than a QB or RB be awarded the Heisman. My answer is no.

It's likely we won't ever see a player outside those positions since Heisman voters seem to be solely focused on QBs and RBs as the top players because they're the sexy positions in the game and rack up the stats. It's hard for them judge if a lineman or defensive player is the best since their stats aren't as clear-cut as a QB or RB. I don't see a WR winning it either because of the limited amount of touches they get unless they also figure into the return game.

I just now saw the truth about Shaw's "I saved my nephew's life!" BS. Like the pic above, I guess he and Te'o shared some ideas about how to get fame.

 

[Mister J]

Following that, USC RB Anthony Brown has quit the team, cited Sarkisian as a racist and made a Facebook implying receipt of improper benefits. Straight case, homie.

In other news, the weekend is near upon us.

 

[John McGuirk]

The Rose Bowl Champion Michigan State Spartans start their title defense tomorrow night. Very excited

 

[Immortalfire]

The Aggies whooped SC like they stole something.
