College football Week 15 thread

Could be an interesting couple of days in Hokieville.

 

I know this sounds crazy, but I think one of the worst things the Pac 12 did these past few years is have their best team play in a "neutral" site in SEC-land. Always come home with an L; and their football seasons were taking on water while still in August.

TERRIBLE decision. For fuck's sake, sacrifice a couple of sheckels, and have home and homes.

 

But at this point - the only way the Pac-12 is going to claw their way back to relevance is via non-conference matchups with teams the "matter." They can't count on USC beating Notre Dame (or the domers being good) every year. I like that you see more teams scheduling home and homes in SEC-land, mid-tier Big 10 schools etc. Non-conference games create the narrative of any particular season. And the truth is - outside of the top tier of the SEC, Big 10 and Clemson, the rest of those conferences aren't so tough.

 

It appears even Pat Narduzzi has moved on from Fuente, now focusing on his new beef with Gee-off Collins.

Report: Utah St. players won't play final game after president's alleged comments about interim coach's religion

 

Utah State Players Opt Out of Final Game Due to President's Comments, Past Issues - Stadium

Can't say I would have called this one. Utah State appears to be going on strike for its season finale because the players claim the administration was biased AGAINST the interim coach for being a Mormon.

 

Among the dumbest, least aware things a college president not named Falwell has said.

 

A preview of the week 16 thread:

 

Let's go! Spartan Up!

 

What exactly did she say?

 

I'm certain that Alabama will be happy to put this one in the trophy case alongside several other disputed national championships.

 

The comments allegedly made by school president Noelle Cockett on Tuesday were about her concerns with Maile’s “religious and cultural background.” Maile, a former Utah State player, is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
