Jew Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Said "dolt" has an athletic director always looking over his shoulder. He'll be OK. Not like he has boosters donating to star players fathers ministries like Florida and auburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skycoastin Steve Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 ^Florida had nothing to do with the pay for play and Cam Newton. He left UF, remember? That was Miss. St. and Auburn shelling out the bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) I was referring to Tim tebow. It wasn't much of a secret Florida boosters decided to donate a ton of money to the tebow family ministry during his recruitment. (To be fair, there is so many shady things going on in the world of college football and basketball, it's really just a matter of who the media/NCAA decide they want to vilify...no doubt every program in the country is guilty of something) Â But anyways... Â BTW, Is Urban Meyer really any worse than Lane Kiffin? Edited August 25, 2012 by Jew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skycoastin Steve Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 ^Urban has very little favor left with vary many Gator fans. I'm grateful for the two NC's he brought, but after that, I wouldn't mind if he never stepped foot in The Swamp ever again. Â And Tebow was a legacy Gator, he was going to go there no matter what.

Jew Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) ^True, but that doesn't mean boosters took advantage of a loophole (no way the NCAA is touching on religious freedom) to show their thanks to him. Cam Newton's family did the same thing (perhaps they even got the idea based off of Tebow?)...only they were dumb and more open about it. Â Personally, I think people are just hating on Lane Kiffin because his wife is ridiculously hot. He's a saint compared to most SEC coaches!

Hilltopper39 Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 ^I don't particularly like Lane Kiffin as a coach but I don't really have a problem with him either. I mean who wouldn't want to leave Tennessee for USC? Or anywhere for USC for that matter. Â After a long off season the first week of the season is finally here! What matchups are everyone looking forward to in week 1? Obviously Bama vs Michigan will be a huge game, but I'm pretty excited about South Carolina at Vanderbilt on Thursday. Vandy seem to be making steps in the right direction under James Franklin and a Thursday night road game in the SEC is no easy way to start the season for top 10 team like South Carolina. Should be a good match up. Â Also my official pre-season national championship prediction is Alabama vs USC with Alabama winning in a close game. What's everyone else's pick?

Hilltopper39 Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 Pretty good game last night,I thought Vanderbilt played well. South Carolina looked pretty good whenever Shaw was in the game, and other than one terrible play by their safety on the long TD pass the defense looked as good as they've been hyped up to be. Someone needs to tell Shaw he isn't Tim Tebow and if they want to have a chance at the SEC title game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeemerBoy Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 ^ South Carolina = perennial pretender. But I do like Lattimore.

Hilltopper39 Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 ^ South Carolina = perennial pretender. But I do like Lattimore. Â I normally would agree with ya on this, and I still think they are a class well below Alabama LSU USC and some others, but I think South Carolina's defense this years puts them slightly ahead of where they normally stand. I mean take away 2 turnovers early last night (first game of the season) and one bad defensive play and South Carolina is winning that game 31-6. National Championship contender? No. SEC East contender and potentially a BCS bowl team? I still think so, but we'll see. They always seem to lose a game to someone they shouldn't every year, and this season may be no different.

Hilltopper39 Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 So, is Notre Dame that good or is Navy just that bad? dt  A little bit of both in my opinion. It's a lot easier to prepare for a team like Navy with a whole off season instead of 1 week midsession. Norte Dame seems to be moving in the right direction again as far as their talent and coaching, and Navy's ceiling is only so high to begin with.

Jew Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Notre Dame always seems to look good until they have to play one of their tougher opponents. Then it becomes clear how far behind they have fallen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopper39 Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 Notre Dame always seems to look good until they have to play one of their tougher opponents. Then it becomes clear how far behind they have fallen. Â I can't argue with that but they did seem to have a little more talent that normal at the skill positions this year. I'm not saying they're gonna win 10 games every year from now on but their days of losing at home to Tulsa may be behind them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ernierocker Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I'm not buying Georgia as the #6 team in the country right now, so with that game on the road, they could easily lose it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
