College Football - Nov 29th

Nebraska, it'd be like Florida firing Ron Zook after this year.

How, exactly? The situations aren't similar in the least...

Or at least, Oklahoma from Switzer to Stoops.

I doubt it. We just fired our John Blake.

edit: A good editorial on the firing of Solich here, btw.

Both have 3 losses this year . After following HoF Coaches who won a bunch of national championships. Yeah, the main difference is Solich actually WENT to a national championship game!

Unless you are getting Bob Stoops to leave OU for Nebraska (or someone of that stature), this move doesn't make much sense.

re: SEC Title Game, sorry John, LSU will beat your Dawgs twice in a row.

The funny thing about it is that Tennessee could possibly end up in a better bowl than Georgia if the Tigers make them look bad. Fulmer is holding out hope for a BCS bowl (Slim chance) and the Capital One Bowl is staying mum on the subject. If Georgia looses badly then it may drop them to the Outback bowl. Strange system we have working, isn't it?


Nebraska's move is a gutsy one. IMHO, it could go eithier way. Showing that strong a committment to winning is pretty strong however.

So, Nebraska fans are willing to wait a couple, three years for a new coach to build his own system?

[Imran Siddiqui]

Yep... and the BCS is the biggest ****ed up part of it . Georgia, no matter what happens against LSU, deserves to go to a better bowl than Tennessee. Sorry Vol fans, they just do.

While I hate to admit it, they do have the better team...(this year )

[JohnT]

And last. And the year before that. And the year prior to that.

When you think about GA's W-L record against TN over the past four years, do you prefer to think of your team as being 0-for-the-Century or 0-for-the-Millennium?

Just a' wonderin...

[Imran Siddiqui]

Funny you stopped there, John .

Do remember Tennessee has more national championships in the last 10 years .

Eh, so do 8 other schools. Your point?

[Imran Siddiqui]

That Tennessee is one of those teams that has a national championship in the last decade while Georgia does not .

[JohnT]

0-for-the-Millennium, man. I'm gonna put it on a T-shirt.

He's also been there for six years and has overseen a huge drop in talent from the Osborne era. Don't forget that Solich made his title run with Osborne's last recruiting class. All in all, the situation is nothing like Zook's if you actually take an in-depth look at the two.

So, Nebraska fans are willing to wait a couple, three years for a new coach to build his own system?

Solich was never going to lead Nebraska back to the top; he was a bad leader and a horrible recruiter. Best to dump him now and start the rebuilding as soon as possible. What's the benefit of waiting?

Still its ridiculous, 75% of the teams in the country would kill to be 9-3 looking at the holiday or whatever bowl.

Do we really need a Whatever Bowl? Who would be the sponsor, WhataBurger?

I have long been a proponent of a Dust Bowl where the the two last ranked teams compete to determine just who the absolute worst team in the nation is.

[Drake Tungsten]

I prefer "Toilet Bowl" to "Dust Bowl".
