Now that Memorial Day has come and gone and the dog days of summer are ahead of us that could mean only one thing….college football anxiety has set in. You know that point where nothing is really on TV, pro sports bore you and not much going on besides the CWS in college sports. Add in the upstart of college football talk and predictions and you have a case of college football anxiety.
So to help ease or to contribute to this dilemma, I will provide you with some recent college football news.
- Garnet and Black gets a nice face lift to get things ready for the 08 campaign — check it out HERE
- Talk about sounding fishy—-Oklahoma has banned any business from employing more than five Sooners athletes at the same time as part of its response to NCAA violations that occurred when three football players took pay for work they had not done at a car dealership.
- A hat-tip to the Dead Guy for finding some interesting reading material over the weekend – 4 coaches rank among Rivals’ Top 10 College Football Coaches and then there is the CBS Sportsline article rating the Hot Seat for all 120+ coaches in D1 football. Coach Spurrier’s seat is hotter than Bowden’s…do you agree? Dead Guy had this to say –
USC’s Spurrier is on the 2nd hottest seat in the conference, which makes more sense. The Gamecocks’ epic collapse last season was due in large part to key defensive injuries, but the USC brass didn’t bring Spurrier in to go to middling bowls. I don’t think they’d actually fire Spurrier, but I doubt that they’re especially pleased with the results he’s delivered so far in his tenure. If Stephen Garcia continues to run amok though, it will be interesting to see how the USC fans react if the Gamecocks finish 6-6 this season.
I really have to disagree on this issue. I think Spurrier will live to see another day even if he finsihes in the season with the cocks going 6-6 (which will not happen in 08). Spurrier is building a program and there is no quick fix. Read my Post from earlier HERE and you get the reasoning I have….What do you think…..is the seat hot for Spurrier in 08?
And I got to agree with Joe Pa here….a playoff system is needed and is best for the game.
Also it seems we are closer…wait they broke up right?….meant to say we are inching closer to the SEC championship according to this prediction HERE (hattip: gray)….do you agree? I say yes.
