Rumors of Shaw to the Niners continue in the Bay Area. I hope he stays at Stanford. And you are right, Hogan and Shaw are class acts who epitomize Stanford.

That would be a terrible move for Shaw. He would probably get a big pay raise but not a good situation. I have to admit when Stanford laid an egg against NW to start the season and looked absolutely inept I thought Shaw might be fired. They really turned it around big time though.

Or NU played so awesomely that they deserved to win ... :rolleyes:
 
Conference championship week. Time to pick 'em:

Alabama 37 Florida 10 - this is going to be a brutal beatdown. Bama is red hot and Florida has no offense and the worst kicker I've ever seen. It's a miracle that Florida made it this far.

Stanford 30 USC 24 - the mighty Trojans don't match up so well with Stanford's physical play. Hogan was red hot against ND. Hopefully that took it out of him or this could get ugly. SC has a new coach but they will need more than that. Close but Stanford toughs it out and wears SC down in the second half.

Michigan St. 27 Iowa 20 - probably the best game of the bunch. The Hawkeyes tend to choke down in the big ones. MSU gets their QB back and wins ugly in Big 10 style.

Clemson 40 North Carolina 27 - UNC discovers they are a basketball school but only after giving Clemson a scare. Might be closer than expected and an upset would not shock me.

As 49ers need a major rebuilding job, this would be a completely different situation than when Harbaugh took over the team.
 
UMd has hired Michigan defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin as their new head football coach. Another lamb to the slaughter or our next Bobby Ross? -- Al

Al, it will take yrs to get out of the abyss the Terps are in. :rolleyes2: Chris

Yep. Moving to the football heavy Big 10 may force them to improve or just keep them playing as doormats. Anyway, it will take a commitment by the powers that be at UMd to get the program back up to speed. -- Al
 
So Sarkisian is suing USC because they fired him for coaching drunk this year including during games. He claims being drunk and abusing prescription meds constitutes a "disability"! And therefore USC discriminated against him. LOL. What a piece of work. Instead of going away quietly in complete disgrace, taking responsibility for his issues, and trying to get help he is blaming others. This is not some penniless guy who needs the money to get treatment but a guy who has been paid multi-millions to coach kids and couldn't manage his personal life enough to show up sober. If anything, I would think that a school would be legally prohibited from allowing an intoxicated person to oversee school programs. In better news, the courts are allowing the McNair's defamation lawsuit to proceed against the NCAA in which the corruption and lies involved in its investigation of him at USC are being exposed.

"This evidence clearly indicates that the ensuing COI report was worded in disregard of the truth to enable the COI to arrive at a predetermined conclusion that USC employee McNair was aware of the NCAA violations. To summarize, McNair established a probability that he could show actual malice by clear and convincing evidence based on the COI’s doubts about McNair’s knowledge, along with its reckless disregard for the truth about his knowledge, and by allowing itself to be influenced by nonmembers to reach a needed conclusion."

I just want USC to be a powerhouse again; college football needs teams like USC, Alabama, Oklahoma, Ohio State, Notre Dame and Michigan to be powerhouses.

This year, you've got Oklahoma and Alabama in the final four, then Clemson and Michigan State; Michigan State got in thanks to a miracle punt block that was returned for a game winning TD, keeping Ohio State out, Notre Dame lost thanks to a miracle finish in Stanford.


Imagine if the final four were Alabama, Oklahoma, Ohio State and Notre Dame; that would have been epic.

It's set up now for what I am sure the NCAA wants in the final; either Alabama or Oklahoma, or both.

If it's MSU/Clemson, I won't watch one second of it, sorry MSU and Clemson fans.
 
Keenan Reynolds at Navy got left off the Heisman list. Perhaps Annapolis should launch a cruise missile strike on the people responsible for that injustice. -- Al

Al:

I was shocked by that omission as well.

George: Cheers for Michigan State- Go Green. J

I know you're a fan of MSU; we'll see how it shakes out..............If they beat Alabama, they're for real.

Hoping the Sooners beat Clemson and advance; if MSU does as well and beats Oklahoma, do me a favor and build that Dragon Tiger Tank model of yours and bring it to Chicago next year so I'll have something to smash into 1,000 pieces....................:wink2:
 
Not if I smash that cursed Tiger first. It is still on the workbench. I walk by it and try not to notice the 1,000 pieces. J:redface2:
 
Biggest game of the season this Saturday...Army v Navy! Go Navy! Beat Army! Anchors aweigh! -- Al

Sounds like a good hire. I read today they are renaming the MD football stadium.

I am a big fan of the Big Game (Stanford v. Cal) for obvious reasons and lately I have been following Texas v. Baylor. But for me, nothing beats Army v. Navy.

I am in California this week where my usual Saturday practice is to wake up and head straight to Sierra Toy Soldier. This week however I will watch Army v. Navy first and then head to the shop.
