We were talking about Lane Kiffin, who I do believe coaches in the PAC 12.

Well he's at USC now, but was a Vol

He was never a Vol. He just coached here.

Since I'm stuck at home with a stomach virus taking us out one by one (not me yet , I can watch football all day long. That is while I'm not doing laundry, cleaning the house, grocery shopping, etc. I guess every weekend can't be a festival weekend.

Anywho, GO TIGERS! Beat the Dookies!!

[Dave Maynar]

As much as I feel it will guarantee a new coach, I will still flip sh*t if UT loses to Troy.

[Dave Maynar]

We're all cheering for Pitt now, right?

Regardless of what you think of the catch, we all should agree TCU's coach has huge balls for going for 2.

[custeph]

I like Gary Patterson. After Tommy Bowden left (forced out), there was a lot of talk about him being our coach. I think he interviewed for the job. I'm happy with Dabo, but I hope Patterson doesn't get hired in the ACC. Go somewhere where we don't have to face him. He would make a great coach for UT.

UT needs to take a look at Charlie Strong as well. IMO, some big team needs to snatch him up.

He would be a good hire from what I have read about him. With all the Gruden hoopla, people really haven't been thinking about other coaches. Even though they won today, I think Dooley took another step towards the door today, so people should start doing some research.

[custeph]

Damn, my team is looking good tonight. Yes, it's against Duke, but still.

[Lowerdeck]

The Beavers are playing pretty sloppy tonight, and the blocked punt safety was so obviously going to happen.

Strong is an excellent coach, and a great recruiter! who has a lot of ties with south Florida football schools. When I posted the other day, I thought of Strong, but he is a Gator and I would be sad if he coached at UT.

Dammit VT.

Signs your fan base has lost their damn mind #34:

Prevalence of theories that your AD is purposefully ruining your football program because he used to work for two of your rivals.

[custeph]

This game could get out of hand quick. Maryland has way too many players out hurt. GO TIGERS, BEAT the TERPS!!!

[Lowerdeck]

Stanford today. Should be good.

[Dave Maynar]

Well, f*ck.

[Dave Maynar]

I am totally okay with A&M winning as long as it does not result in a Notre Dame appearance in the title game.

[baconus66]

Title game is going to be Oregon and Notre Dame. It will be close for the first 5 min or so.

[baconus66]

Also Bowl Eligible!!! No one expected Rich Rod to do this, I'm ecstatic.

Fixed it for you.

[Lowerdeck]

No Rose Bowl


I just hope Oregon gets knocked down, and no Notre Dame either

[glennron]

I know it could be hard to justify taking Bama if there are three undefeated teams, but I don't really know if anyone legitimately thinks Oregon and Notre Dame are better than Alabama.

If 'Bama keeps playing like they've been playing for the past two weeks, I think they are. And I'm saying this as a 'Bama fan.

Maybe we'll have a freak occurrence like last year and K-State and Notre Dame will lose in one weekend. I don't see Oregon losing any time soon, though.

[sangreal]

it will be awesome to not have an sec team in the champ game. on the downside clemson may end up playing bama in the sugar bowl.

Stanford and Oregon State - the Ducks will be favorites but I wouldn't call them blow out material.

Looks like Hart is taking the "wait until the season is over" route. Then again, I may be wrong. Weekly press conference is in 10 minutes.

[kikosanchez]

I think Bama is still ~40% to make the championship game. ND has played way too many close games. I think there's a good chance, ~60%, that they drop one to Wake Forest or USC. Oregon has 3 ranked opponents in a row. Granted, their margin of victories have been very high, so the odds they drop one of these is still only 40-50%. Kstate only has Texas to get past. They're probably 80-85% in.
