2013 College Football off-season

[E.J.]

Gotta love Meyer's cocky ass trying to fix the entire Big Ten instead of just his Buckeyes.

 

He's not wrong. He's lapping the field in recruiting already, and the overall B1G recruiting is pretty awful

 

Lapping the field? He's a new coach at one if the top historical programs coming off a 12-win season. And UM is just a few spots behind OSU.

 

Plus, has he really recruited better than Tressel did most years? He landed a pretty puff gig. Let's see him land a top-10 class at Purdue and then run his mouth.

 

Exactly. Derwood could land a top-10 class at OSU. They always recruit well and the state of Ohio is one of the best in terms of high school talent.

How many out of state 4 and 5 stars did he sign? 13. How many did Hoke?

 

His point is that the Big Ten (or any other conference) will continue to be second rate to the SEC as long as the middle and bottom schools make far better efforts in recruiting. He doesn't even touch on how little effort some schools put into coaching and facilities

[Tracer Bullet]

His point is that the sec reputation allows you to lose a game and still make the bcs title game. He wants the same luxury in the big ten and so he wants all the schools to improve so that his chances at a title are better. He could give a [expletive] what any big ten teams puts into facilities or coaching.

Other than better facilities and coaching -> better recruiting -> chance to lose a game and still get to national championship.

Sure, but the Big Ten wont get that luxury unless the other schools improve. I'm not saying he's being altruistic here, but he's not wrong about the conferences strength vs. the SEC

Well of course...I understand his motive for saying what he said but it does not change the fact that the B1G needs to recruit better. And as someone else has touched on, pay coaches more and upgrade facilities.

Is that news?

 

Breaking: Urban Meyer thinks the big ten is not as good as the sec. Needs better players, coaches, and facilities.

i'm not sure what your point is here, but Hoke signed 12

"why aren't you guys in the B1G recruiting better?"

*flips Spence, Pittman, Decker, Schutt, Dodson, O'Connor, Williams, Conley, Reeves, etc. from B1G schools*

 

what a smug hypocritical [expletive]

[Tracer Bullet]

He's a fantastic recruiter in that he can sell and he's slimey enough to say anything he needs to. But let's not pretend Meyer is going coast to coast to land recruits. He specializes in letting peers identify recruits and then getting them to flip. Maybe he's just a great closer, maybe he would negative recruit his own mother, I don't know. But he's not saying anything groundbreaking or important. He just wants to sound important.

Curious to see how Saban handles this:

 

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Three Alabama freshmen were arrested Monday night for charges of second-degree robbery and another was arrested and charged with fraudulent use of a debit or credit card.

Defensive end D.J. Pettway (second-degree robbery), linebackers Tyler Hayes (second-degree robbery) and Brent Calloway (fraudulent use of a credit card), and receiver Eddie Williams (second-degree robbery and fraudulent use of a credit card) were arrested Monday, according to online records from the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's Office.

Texas AD DeLoss Dodds takes a cheap shot at Missouri

 

“We’re going to have good years again,” Dodds promised. “Our bad years are not that bad. Take a school like Missouri. Our bad years are better than their good years. But we’ve created a standard.”

Saban will just that "we are handling it internally" and that'll be it. He may be forced to sacrifice one of them, but they will be back on the field.

Maybe I'm completely off-base, but I have to think the facilities at a place like Michigan are pretty similar to any SEC school not named Alabama.

 

Meyer can whine all he wants, but it's pretty simple. SEC schools are located where most of the top talent is, and most of the kids in that football-crazy region grow up thinking Florida/Alabama/Georgia/Auburn is the ultimate prize. The same way every kid in Ohio grows up idolizing OSU players (and continues to idolize them as adults). It's always going to be difficult to persuade kids to go somewhere else where there's no regional tie.

They'll cut enough to get under 85.

whoa iowa state has a verbal from the #1 WR in the 2014 class. that's pretty miraculous.

[Tracer Bullet]

I suppose you're going to tell us that he grew up 30 miles from campus, loving Iowa St and always wanting to be a cyclone and the pics of him all over the internet with coeds and cash are just coincidence.

Urbandale? The #1 WR is from Urbandale? He must have honed his skills working summers at living history farms.

DeLoss Dodds is just the best.

DeLoss Dodds is just the best.

Without him we wouldn't be in the SEC so I love him.

[Old Style]

He must have been an English major.

From the WHAT THE [expletive] [expletive] news :shock:

 

"So I guess Ohio State had lost the bowl game, so Earl Bruce brings in Woody Hayes. I had been there just a week and I'm thinking, 'Holy, this is Coach Hayes.' I'm sitting in the back. Coach Hayes was not healthy at the time, but stands up and starts laying into the coaching staff about toughness. That we have no toughness in the program. That's why we lost the game. On and on and screaming, this old guy pounding the table. He says, 'We have no toughness, and the reason is because you're not tough. No one on this staff is tough enough, and that's a problem.'

 

"He reaches down and grabs this box, slides the top and there was something in the box moving around. He reaches in and he pulls out this turtle. He reaches down, this turtle's snapping and he says, 'I'm going to show you toughness.' He unzips his pants and takes out whatever he takes out. The turtle reaches up and snaps at him. You see the veins and the sweat (on Hayes). He screams at the coaches, 'That's toughness! That's [expletive] toughness!' He reaches down, pokes the turtle right in the eye and it falls off. He wipes the sweat off his forehead and says, 'That's the problem. We don't have anybody in this room tough enough to do that right there.'
