FBC week 13 running thread

Sooners.

 

This may be a halftime score.

 

CMU beat Indy too. They gotta stop scheduling teams like Georgia. They played Kansas last year. And Michigan the year before. If they played more patsies like Ball State, they would be 10-1 now not 8-3.

 

ACC=MAC

That is all.

 

While we wait for Saturday, just a little fun idea to kick around...if Saban wins a national championship this year (or next, or anytime), does he go back to the NFL in, say five or six years? Not for just any job, but to New England?
He's a Belichick disciple. He could go as the defensive coordinator for a couple of years and be the heir apparent, then take over when Belichick retires. He's got the unfinished business of finding out if he really hated the NFL or Miami was just a bad situation. And by then, the NFL may be over its current bad memories of dud college coaches. Plus, he likely wouldn't have to build a team from the ground up like he did the Dolphins.
On the other hand, Alabama will pull several Brinks trucks, each towing new Ferraris, to the house it buys for him; he's a god in the eyes of Alabama fans right now; and he's a control freak with an entire state eating out of the palm of his hand.
Whatcha think?

 

Nick Saban doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who would willingly give up a head coaching job to be an understudy. Even in the NFL.

 

LSU fans are eagerly anticipating a rematch with Saban -- in the 2009 season opener at Washington, home of Mark Emmert, for whom Saban worked at LSU.

 

LSU is going TO Washington? Seriously?

 

But what if he's got a Jim Mora Jr. type deal, where Belichick announces his retirement a year or two ahead of time and Saban is brought in early as the successor?

 

Yes. Washington will play in Baton Rouge in 2012.

 

The Muncie Star Press is reporting that the same two jokers that called Ball State-Central Michigan (Todd Harris and Ray Bentley) also will call Ball State-Western Michigan.

Not surprising that ESPN wants to give Ball State the shaft, since two of the three lowest votes for Ball State in the AP poll come from Chris Fowler and Craig James.

 

Uh, I dunno about that.
