Yes, let's do. Apples to Oranges comparison. Wade's defensive line consisted of players like Bruce Smith, Ted Washington, Pat Williams, and Phil Hansen The closest example of a line that good is when Gray got to work with Pat Williams, Sam Adams, and Schobel. Do you even remember the player on the opposite side of the line? A 4-3 and a 3-4 have both strengths and weaknesses. Neither one is inherently better overall than the other one. Yes, in a 3-4, you can send in a LB from different positions, but it's still a 240lb LB vs a 300+lb OL. If the OL gets his paws on the LB, care to guess who wins that battle? In a 4-3 (traditional), it's a 300lb DT vs 300+lb OL. Pass protection just got a whole lot tougher. Again, see personnel. Or do you need to relive Chad "Crazy Legs" Pennington vs. Eddie Robinson? Salary cap problems caused far more problems than people realize or they choose to ignore the problems created by the salary cap. Bruce Smith was let go after the 1999 season because of the salary cap. Ted Washington left after the 2000 season because of the salary cap (he refused to take another pay cut). TD did not "choose" to cut a bunch of defensive players. He had no choice. He barely had room in the salary cap to sign the rookies. If anything, that was the best time to switch defensive schemes. You know who was more important than Pat Williams? Ted Washington, the starting NT. Pat Williams came in on obvious passing downs and short yardage situations.

Funny, I just don't get why people like him as a QB. I get the 'winner", "attitude", etc .... How about ability? If a QB has to continually rely on his feet to become that "winner", that QB is going to have a very short career. Yeah, because that D had absolutely nothing to do with it.

Let's not. Oregon has produced some good teams over the past few years, but those efforts have been overshadowed by their ridiculous uniforms and the insane amount of uniform combos.

Just another example why the NCAA "enforcement" is a complete !@#$ing joke. UO is going to get screwed over for those laughable "major violations". Should have lawyered up. Meanwhile, Cam Newton, who's father admitted to asking for payment for his son's "services" : NADA Oh, by the way, the NCAA Director of Enforcement the past 14 years is leaving the NCAA to go back to Auburn http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2013/04/12/ncaa-director-of-enforcement-dave-didion-mark-emmert/2079311/ If that does not make you go hmmmmmm......

Oh, please tell me this is sarcasm.

More details regarding the UM investigation: http://www.miaminewt...-you-know/full/ Regarding the Jackie Sherrill investigation: Want to know why Bama people really hate the NCAA, and get agitated when somebody starts discussing the Albert Means fiasco? From the article: Side note: The U of Tenn HC and one of the secret witnesses being referred to in this article was none other than Fat Phil Fulmer. And this is only the tip of the iceberg.

This. In his second or third year, during a pre-season game, in the opponents red zone, DJ ran three straight running plays towards the middle of the field. Even in preseaon, when there was nothing to lose, the SOB still played for the FG. That was the most infuriating thing DJ ever did. Or the game where the Jets blitzed Revis 29(?) consecutive times. DJ stood on the sideline looking clueless on how to deal with that. When it came to strategy, DJ was a mere child in a man's game.

You disagree? You practically agreed with me. The scheme, the Tampa 2, is based on a particular philosophy. The bend, don't break philosophy is inline with his beliefs that games are decided based on the battle for turnovers and field position.

His failure had nothing to do with schemes or a competent OC. It had everything to do with his coaching philosophy. DJ coaching beliefs were the epitome of play (coach) not to lose. Actually, go back and look at DJ's time in Chicago. He did the same thing there. When he lost his first OC, who did he promote? His QB coach. It was pretty obvious DJ was a big believer in continuity among the coaching staff.

Mularkey went 5-11 the next season. Technically, a split hair better than half of nine. But wait! Mularkey's overall record was 14-18 (you can see it coming) for an average of: 7-9 a season.

Mike Mularkey and his 9-7 record would like a word with you.

Pretty funny. He does make some valid points, though. My daughter in law has an HP Win8 laptop. She loved it for about for the first 2-3 weeks. Now, she can't stand it. (it was an Xmas gift, so returning the item is not option). She likes to borrow my son's laptop (a Win7) because she "can get $&%* done". One of her biggest gripes is the "swipe" issue brought up in the video. She says that alone will annoy and frustrate the hell out a person.

For $1500? No. Now for $2400 ... http://www.advanced-intelligence.com/glasses.html Now, if you poke around a bit, they do offer some sample shots. (NSFW by the way)

A car accident waiting to happen. After a few hundred or so, another piece of technology to ban while driving.

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/ncaaf--ncaa-firing-vp-of-enforcement-171556026.html I'm shocked, I tell ya, just shocked the NCAA would choose to ignore it's own policies in an investigation. Further down in the article is this tidbit: Pfft. Of course not. Hey Emmert. It's not broken, it's just plain .

Pardon, who's gums were itchy? http://youtu.be/2GMSVfWs8qk

She got married. Wouldn't be shocked to learn her marriage is the reason he spoke up. Give a teenage boy steady sex for about 10 months, and then stop it. Yeah, he won't be a happy camper.

Whoopsies. http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/8917370/mike-leach-lawsuit-texas-tech-red-raiders-dismissed-judge

Yeah, I would bag her.

First pass play - underthrown second pass play - stares down the WR third pass play - overthrown Hope you got a better highlight reel than that.

The correct call was made. Did you even hear the announcers ask the official in the booth and on the air? The fair catch signal was clearly made. The ND player was clearly within one yard of the receiver. The rest is moot. The only questionable call was the catch for first down. And Gholson MAY HAVE gotten it picked. Or ND MAY HAVE scored a FG. Hell, maybe ND does score a TD. Would that made the game very different? No. Stop kidding yourself. Gholson is not Johnny Football. He's not Aaron Murray, or Mettenberg, or Bray, or Tyler Wilson, or Deynard Robinson, or AJ McCarron. One score would not have greatly altered the dynamics of the game. One call at most. Bama. First 3 possessions = 3 straight TD's. What put ND in a huge hole was the inability of ND defense stopping the freight train known as the Bama running game. And this, we will agree on.

Petey was also the HC of the Jets and Pats at one time. How do people forget this little factoid every time his name comes up for the question of successful college football = successful NFL coach. I think he was referring to Jim Harbaugh, the 49ers HC who came from Stanford. Unfortunately, Jimmy spent a couple of years on the Raiders staff before heading for the collegiate ranks.

Should have left it buried.
