If Mccoy wasn't injured they could have stayed aggressive with the play calling and not given the bama D a chance to settle into the game. It's hard to say but Texas definitely had a chance of winning even with Gilbert at the helm, so one can only speculate how Texas would be doing without all those series spent trying to get Gilbert to settle down and acclimate himself. All I know is Gilbert is going be great for us for years to come. Showed a lot of moxy after barely playing a quarter all season. talk about baptism by fire.

It is hard to imagine otherwise, even harder when one considers the hammer looming just beyond the horizon. They' probably won't be down for long however. It's too good of a situation.

 

[Skylab]

Yeah - I agree it's not likely to stay down for too long. But I would expect to see the Ducks back in the Rose Bowl next year.

Hallelujah. I must be the only Seattle resident who doesn't care about the Seahawks, but as a Big 10 grad I can safely say that I'm sick of USC's crap. Hopefully their program collapses and the Big10 goes back to dominating the Rose Bowl.

Amazed that Carroll left. The PAC-10 is on a freight train back to Irrelevance, USA.

I don't know, it seems to me like there is a pretty good group of coaches that are still ascending in that conference. If they all stick and USC makes a good hire, I think it can still be a solid conference.

Of course, if USC gets the hammer it's going to tough to make a good hire.

Heh, I figured it out. I couldn't resist posting this. Regarding Sharrif Floyd's sudden switch from OSU to Florida at Gainesville.

Quote:

“Sharrif was really confused and put a call into Coach Meyer. When they spoke Coach Meyer told him that he had a ‘dream’ the night before, and that Coach Meyer saw himself on the sideline coaching Sharrif. Told him that is was a "message from God that I should come back and coach, as I guess if it’s my time to die, I'd rather die on the sidelines coaching you than anywhere else in the world. "Sharrif talked to us the next day and said Ohio State is great and all, but Coach Meyer said he would DIE for me. That's pretty intense. From that day on Sharrif mainly kept to himself. But that was the turning point in my eyes."

I have always heard Meyer pulls out all the stops. No one is going to outwork or outsell him or Nicky on the trail.

 

[SweetAdeline]

So Coach Urban Meyer is going to coach spring practice. Which means he will literally miss zero time. Sweet retirement dude.

 

[Skylab]

NU's Mike Kafka played pretty well in the East-West Shrine game yesterday. Threw for 150yds, and tossed the game-winning TD pass with :06 left. I hope that helps improve his draft stock.

Either he or his wife is not that worried about him collapsing on the sideline....which is freaking scary, considering the stress and medical scares he had last year. Wow.

So who's watching the senior bowl tomorrow?

 

[Skylab]

I will be for sure. Last gasp of CFB for the year. And NU D-Lineman Corey Wooten is playing

I mainly want to see how bad Tim Tebow plays, but it should be a fun game regardless

Heh, might get what you're looking for. Are you thinking they'll stick to pro style playcalling?
