Kevin Wilson to OSU as O coordinator.

Tim Beck left for Texas, and they also hired Ryan Day to coach QBs.

No word yet on Ed Warinner, but that announcement might be waiting to see if the NCAA allows an additional asst coach next year.

The numbers back up the claim. The ACC finished 10-4 against the SEC, 6-2 against the Big Ten -- both league records for most wins against those conferences. Eleven teams finished with a winning overall record, also a league record. Overall, the ACC finished as the only league with a winning record against Power 5 opponents this year (17-9) and was 51-17 against all nonconference opponents, the best record of any conference and a league record for most wins in a season.

Again, you lose credibility as soon as you get to #2. The SEC isn't even the third best conference. Plus, any Big 12 fans would bitch slap you for the MAC inclusion over them.

I think you have reading issues on the 2nd statement there.

In all honesty, I would have rated them:
1. ACC
2. SEC
3. BIG 10
4. BIG 12
5. PAC 12

I would have gone:
ACC
Big 10
Big 12
Pac 12
SEC

ACC wins this year. Big 10 was top heavy and got the hardest bowl schedule by a mile, but should have done better.Big 12 has Oklahoma and a bunch of upper to medium power teams. Pac 12 has more upper-mid tier teams (USC, Washington, Utah, Stanford). The SEC has Bama and that's it.

When Saban retires what will the SEC have left? They have no coaches. No elite QBs. The ACC has great coaches at 3-4 schools. The Big Ten has great coaches at 4-5 schools. The Big 12 has at least 2 and the Pac 12 1-2. I honestly can't name the second best coach in the SEC after Saban because the rest are shit.

Siena/Rider game breaks down into fight leading to a hilarious handshake.

Sorry, but Kevin Baggett should be fired immediately. Not for pulling his team from the handshake, but because his stupid ass was on the floor getting physical with players and coaches. (He's the bald, black guy wearing a suit in the video.)

How have we not discussed this Lane Kiffin video yet?

If you don't get fired up to play some football or go see a game, then you must be dead inside!!! (Like Lane appears to be...)

Fucking really?
One of Jerry Sandusky's sons was charged Monday with sex crimes involving two girls, more than five years after the former Penn State assistant coach was himself first arrested on child molestation charges.
...
Jeffrey Sandusky has not made any public allegations of abuse by Jerry Sandusky, but one of his siblings, Matt Sandusky, alleged during their father's 2012 criminal trial that he had been abused by him. Matt Sandusky was not called as a witness, and Jerry Sandusky has never been charged with those allegations.

Jerry Sandusky had 6 adopted kids. I can only assume their childhood was less than ideal.

UConn women get their 100th win in a row and are being called the most dominant sports team ever.

It's an absolutely amazing feat, but I think this needs a HUGE asterisk. They play in a sport with maybe 3-4 good teams, them included.

There's absolutely no parity. Their claim to "dominant sports team" has as much credibility as if the Harlem Globetrotters said the same thing.

They have no competition, so how can they be considered greatest of all time?

If one team is racking up 100 wins in a row, then it hardly seems "sport" or "competition."

Best football coach a Louisiana school has ever had gets fired for pointing out that Alabama recruits unethically.
But the offer was more about getting Harris to come to an Alabama camp, rather than a committable scholarship offer. That’s a common recruiting practice at schools besides just Alabama.
Not outside of the SEC it isn't.

I can't believe he'd get fired for that. I mean, it's a bit controversial, but c'mon? People can't have opinions any more?

They said "he was getting the school unwanted attention".

I suspect strings were pulled.
