2021-22 College Football thread

At least the stadium would be more than half full with those two schools.

Yeah, I just saw a Groupon deal for the game. Seriously.

[The Sultan]

I didn't even think Groupon was still around.

Reports coming out that former Bears legend Marcus Freeman is the next ND coach.  Interesting.  Seems like trying to keep the Kelly program intact I guess.  Youngest coach since Bob Davie and only the second coach in 70+ years at ND with no HC experience.  The other was of course the wildly successful Charlie Weis

Gerry Faust

Gerry Faust

He was a high school head coach. But yeah...

Gerry Faust

Faust was an insanely successful HS coach for almost 20 years.  It's still being the HC of a team/program for awhile.

Freeman could be a great success but his age/experience/etc... at hiring is beyond unheard of there

[Sir Lawrence]

Looks like it's Freeman.

Best bets for conference championship weekend? Heading to a sportsbook this weekend.

I have my thoughts but college football is not my strongest sport.

The Under in Mich-Iowa.

Probably the under in Bama-UGA too

Looks like Steve Addazio's college coaching days are over.

Fired Colorado State coach Steve Addazio likely called a Black custodian "boy" in a discussion over a closed bathroom in October 2020, according to a university investigation.

Hey, he didnt mean it like that,  its very common parlance in Southern places where he grew up in...(checks notes)...Connecticut.

But lets be real, he really got fired cause he's just not good at being a HC.

How y'all doin' tonaaaaaaaaaght?

I am consistently amazed by Scoop's ability to argue over vocabulary

When you cannot argue substance, you argue style. People who do this are either journalists too hung up in prose to recognize their reporting sucks or folks who realize they've been had intellectually and try to debase representatives of the "other side" with snide remarks about the use of the English language.

Look, I'm all in favor of correct use of vocabulary. But amid a debate about policy, economics etc., I'm less hung up on how people say something than what they're saying.

That was hilarious. Give him the Emmy. I wonder how a fake southern accent is playing in Louisiana? I'm guessing most don't care ... as long as he wins.

He was an all-time great HS coach here.

Haha that's incredible.  Truly the snake oil salesmen of our day.

Buyout dropped from $5 million to $3 million and his record was very bad at CSU.

Kind of an odd article, maybe his agent angling to get him a TV gig.  It was always a weird fit.  He wasn't very good at UVA so making him sort of honorable gentleman for stepping down is interesting.

Yeah I thought the tone of that article was a little strange.  "Commissioner of College Football"  Huh?  Why would that even need to be a thing?

Anyway it sounds like his wife is miserable.  And maybe he is too.  Probably just move back west and see what happens.

Dude had a history of players grabbing and punching opponents in the junk.  Commissioner of the Big Ten maybe

Brilliant.  Love it

He's a total jagoff who has been disliked outside of on the field success everywhere he's went.  Gotta try to do something to charm the locals!

In other news, Manny Diaz hasn't been fired at Miami yet but they are supposedly open up the vault to make a run at Mario Cristobal.  Frankly I hope he takes it and succeeds and schedules FIU to throw up 70 on them.
