I know Arkansas was part of the SWC back in the day? But so was SMU?

I also agree.
Nebraska has disappointed me. When I was a wee lad, they were ALWAYS in the discussion. ALWAYS.
Now they are almost an afterthought. I was REALLY afraid for my Spartans when they joined the B1G.

Penn State in the old days of the mythical "East Indies Conference" made up of the old eastern independents along with Army & Navy. When I was a boy attending BC games they'd go 7-3 most years, beating UMass, Holy Cross, Villanova, and UBuffalo by an average of 40 points. Then they'd play Syracuse, Army, & Navy even, and get beaten by 40 by Pitt and Penn State. Every year.
Cincinnati is still in the mix! I hope they are in the "Final Four" when all is said and done!

Too bad UC hasn't got a magical player in Heisman contention. There's no one on that team whose name is known by anyone outside of Cincinnati. The CFP Committee is desperate to dump them and get ND into the playoffs.
Smells like money.

I'd like to see Iowa State, Utah, Oklahoma State, and Indiana in the final 4 playoff some year, just for the disastrous TV ratings that would result.
I was hoping Auburn would beat that smug coach that left MSU, but now I can just hope he gets beat in the final game of season. Saban is not too far removed from Satan here in Mudville, Michigan!

My my my. I'm going to have to rethink our football relationship. I did pull for your Spartans this year hoping they would win the conference. Now F.T. I don't know.

I think that football coaches in general are an unlikeable lot. Ego driven, they appear to think of themselves as did Roman generals. That said, over the years I have heard many things about Saban that surprised me and for which I respect him.

Brian Kelly to LSU. Didn't see that coming.
Forgive me my friend! I can only hope that Mr Tucker does as well as Mr Saban! I just hope that he STAYS in East Lansing!
That's a done deal? Wasn't he at Notre Dame, and Central Michigan before that?
Wow. I'd forgotten his years at U of Cincinnati, following Dantonio! He deserves this shot.

I just have been reading on LSU's Tiger Droppings forum and the Cajuns are not pleased with the hire. 60 years old, never won a nattie really doesn't have a signature win ,ect.... 9-3 8-4 is not going to cut it Read that his contract is somewhere 5 years @ 15 mil per year or 10 years @ 100 mil. It appears the Irish fans are glad he's gone. All those years and no championship. They want a coach that can lead them to greener pastures. Given that if certain teams lose the Domers could be in the play offs. He must of really wanted out. Also, read he had contacted the Florida program ? What makes him want to play with the big boys at this stage in his football career is a mystery to me. Guess he wants to if he can do it.

And let's all recall that Notre Dames higher academic standards kept him from getting 5 stars to go all the way with. Well its going to be rock and roll time. Not any push overs in the SEC. Just look at the 5 star coaches in the SEC,Kirby Smart,Kiffin for now,Saban, Mike Leach,Jimbo Fisher, Stoops at Kentucky,with Texas and Oklahoma coming although trending down right now. The SEC is a meat grinder and every week you better bring your a game. Bet he might coach 3 years before he's released. Takes a special man to coach at LSU. We will see.

Fumbling about.
A surprising and, I think, bad hire.
LSU may be going down the road Tennessee and Florida have tried. We'll see.
Happy shaves,

I wasted 4 hours on that Auburn Alabama game. I’ll try not to do that again.

Is anybody besides me think my Tide has a chance Saturday. As bad as it looks for us I think Bulldog fans are a little bit uneasy going up against the champs from last year. Old man Saban just might have a trick or 2 up his sleeve. We are a 6 1/2 point dog. I love it. Us against the world mentally. On paper Georgia should win,but the game is played on grass ! Roll Tide
