Scongiurata la possibilità che Michigan State e LSU si incontrassero ( ), mi piacciono molto le due avversarie pescate. Secondo me la difesa degli Spartans farà molta fatica contro Luke Falk e quel tipo di attacco; credo invece che Notre Dame sia un buon matchup per i Tigers. Comunque, ripeto, due bellissime partite.

La Bowl season è sinonimo di stagione che si conclude, ma è anche una festività pagana lunga 3/4 settimane. Enjoy

PS: ma è vero che Herm Edwards sarà il prossimo allenatore di Arizona State?

Tutto vero

Inoltre a ASU implementeranno una sorta di front office stile NFL per ogni tipo di operazione da quelle sul campo, al recruiting ecc ecc

Bah

Rimango sempre dell'idea che il lotto delle squadre dovrebbe essere a 8 e non a 4 come previsto dalla sua nascita.

ipotesi:

No. 8 UCF at No. 1 Clemson
No. 7 USC at No. 2 Auburn
No. 6 Georgia at No. 3 Oklahoma
No. 5 Alabama at No. 4 Wisconsin

Ok ma questi sarebbero sempre ragazzini di 20 anni o giù di lì che oltre agli allenamenti/partite dovrebbero trovare anche il tempo di studiare un pochetto, o almeno far finta; quante gliene vogliamo far giocare in una stagione? Sedici, come i pro!?

[darioambro]

Faccio anzitempo i mie pronostici:

Clemson (-9.5)-Miami 31-24
Auburn (-2.5)-Georgia 27-30
Wisconsin-Ohio State (-6.5) 30-28
TCU-Oklahoma (-7) 28-36
Stanford-USC (-3) 26-37
Memphis-UCF (-7) 30-39
Fresno State-Boise State (-9.5) 34-30
Akron-Toledo (-21) 20-39
North Texas-Florida Atlantic (-10,5) 27-39
Troy-Arkansas State 31-27
Appalachian State-ULL 36-24

mi autoquoto:

Clemson
Georgia
Wisconsin
Oklahoma
USC
UCF
Fresno State
Toledo
Florida Atlantic
Troy
Appalachian State

E ci sarebbero ugualmente polemiche per chi è 8 chi 9 e chi 10.

Ampliare il lotto non è la soluzione. Mi sembra chiaro.

Taggart sarà il nuovo HC di Florida State.

Ottima presa, con una postilla: non è Jimbo.

[darioambro]

Arkansas hires SMU coach Chad Morris (SMU), agreeing to six-year, $21M contract.

Tennessee hires Alabama DC Jeremy Pruitt.

[stemene]

Due mosse tutto sommato buone.

Baton Rouge innevata...

...e Mike VII se la gode

Oregon rimuove il tag di interim a Mario Cristobal. Sarà il nuovo HC.

Peccato.. lo volevo come OC a Florida State. Ora temo che anche molti dei coach di ruolo che Taggart sperava di portare con se a Tally rimarranno a Eugene. Cmq se la merita tutta questa opportunità.

He’s a Miami guy


Se Taggart riesce a portarsi anche solo Jim Leavitt come DC è un bel colpo.
