COKER OUT

Nice guy. In over his head. But at least we have the first big-ticket opening (and will probably get a second if Bama doesn’t get their bowl bid, no matter how bad a patch Shula got to work with) so the coaching blender can now be set on puree.

BTW, Orson, hope you make it to Dreamland. Me and mine will be around about 1 ;]

Happy Trails Larry, no more havign to defend your squad of prison inmates to the press. Here’s to hoping he finds happiness at a deserving program where he can do some good.

Or, maybe, just put all the $3m on black at the table at Bellagio. That’s what I’d do.

Seriously, what about Coker to Alabama?

I’ll bet the Auburn fans would take up a collection if that would happen….

 A C-USA school would be more his speed, I think.

If you can’t make it there, you can’t make it anywhere.

I heard Paul Dee was going to suffer a similar fate…

Excuse the threadjackery, but….did anyone stay tuned in for the fourth quarter of Arkansas-LSU? I woke up from my turkey coma just in time to see the first of approximately eleven touchdowns. It’s mayhem, and more than a little disorienting to the half-asleep viewer.

An ark 80 yd run for a td, a lsu return for a TD, and ark’s return to lsu’s 37 in less than half a minute?

If UF can’t handle 2 loss Ark , and ND beats USC early and big the polls will be more chaotic than that game.

Dude. Arkansas’s final possession. The have two RBs who have completely burned LSU’s rush defense; it literally can’t stop them. They let the qb who has completed 3 passes for the day air out 4 incomplete passes on their 4 downs.

What the fuck is wrong with Houston Nutt?

Nah, if both UF and USC go down, hello rematch. Seriously, what score could ND win by to go ahead of Michigan? I say they’d have to hit triple digits and possibly have a defensive tackle eat John David Booty, just for the headline.

#9, with no TOs left and 80 yds to go, your options are pretty limited as far as the run game goes. Hell, even with those two demons going nuts in the 4th q, it can take 2 minutes to go 20 yds running it. Now, they should have been throwing to Jones and McFadden, but there’s not much chance of just lining up and running it (and it’s not like it’s Tulane out there either, I’d still put money on LSU’s run D to stop ‘em when the game’s on the line)

You may put your money on the LSU D, but which do you think would have been more dangerous? Casey Dick’s arm or the dynamic RB duo? That was horrific play-calling, and Les Miles righteously Nutted in Casey Dick’s eye.

wow. what a crazy and excellent LSU/Ark. game. at least that 15 minute stretch of madness with McFadden’s 80 yarder and the TD off the kickoff return.
Gators, good luck stopping the invincible McFadden and his very capable sidekick Felix Jones. It was like watching Slaton and White except with a (bad) designated passer. Seriously, Dick is like the DH of college football. Did anyone else’s jaw drop when they didn’t snap direct to McFadden or at least give him the ball on 4th and 3? I think that was the worst call of the game by far.
I think that this messes up Florida’s SOS a whole bunch in the computers for the BCS and pretty much eliminates it’s chance of getting to No. 2 even if they blow out the Hogs. Does anyone know that for sure?

My best guess is that we need to blow out FSU and Ark and jump Michigan in the human polls to have a chance.

Assuming ND drops USC of course.

I think all Florida has to do is stuff the box with 11.

And I hate to get the thread back on topic but Coker just proved he was too classy for the program that turned on him.

RFM:

If UF goes 12-1 you’ll play OSU, provided USC loses. Which is surety.

Well, you never know with Abiamiri. He’s a team player, I’m sure he’d be willing to make an effort.

larry coker, you been SOLICHED!

and on that note, i hope he does find a nice coaching gig to call his own.

Coker is doing the “my eyes are sunken into my head they are resting on my brain” bit again. Although extremely painful it is a regular routine down at the OB and a crowd favorite.

Hey, does anyone know what in the HELL happened to Terry Bowden? Before Ive seen him on TV and he looked like a normal dude, but today, on Yahoo! He looks like Homer Simpson after eating all the doughnuts in the world when he went to hell. His face is all puffed up and his skin is shiny and glistening. Is he suffering some medical issues, or just eating bacon for dinner every day?

Coker to NC State!! … Can we get this rumor rolling, please?

Maybe the ‘Canes will bring in someone lilke Guy Morriss from Baylor: he’s been at a couple of schools (Kentucky, Baylor) where he has done something with nothing, much like this guy from back in the ’50’s that went from UK to Texas A&M, then on to Alabama. Morriss has class. A fitting spot for Coker? Working on {NAME REDACTED}’s staff at Illinois.

LSU/ARK – all I can really say is I hurt from what could have been. If if’s and but’s were candy and nuts, I’d have a purple and gold Christmas, along with a New Year’s celebration in the desert. As of now, I am in the predicament of having to cheer for 2 hated teams – Notre Dame, and Florida.

I’ve seen the Notre Dame MBA’s, any Youtubes on Florida alums?

Wow does the SEC blow. Unbelievable. Tennessee = terrible. Florida = no offense. Arkansas = can’t pass.

Auburn? LSU? Decidedly mediocre.

The SEC hasn’t been good since Tennessee won it in 1998. Better luck next year, rednecks!

Towens, you are an idiot.

#19: I think Terry Bowden looks better than he ever has in that picture. Speaking of that butterball, why does his name never come up when people are looking for a head coach. I mean, I know he left a train wreck at Auburn, but he had a few pretty special seasons there before it went south.

Dear Fans of EDSBS…as an Alumni of Georgia Tech I would like to let you all know that we now have our own [Name Redacted]. His name is Reggie Ball.

You may now continue with your lives.

#24, shouldn’t that be “His name is [REDACTED]”?

well no, because some might not know who I was talking about without actually saying it once.

Towens, you dis the SEC, but do not proclaim your allegiance for anyone. Isn’t that violating rules of this blog?

Like, what is your major malfunction, numbnuts?

For all those SEC strength of schedule haters, the SEC just dominated their rivals from the ACC this weekend.

Nah, Brian, we’d all know who you’re talking about. Gailey is a victim of his own proportions, and [REDACTED] has had 4 years to build up his reputation as such.

+1 to Southern Papa, who is usually so polite, for being dragged down into the muck with the rest of us.

‘For all those SEC strength of schedule haters, the SEC just dominated their rivals from the ACC this weekend.’

Really, you wrote that?

I wasn’t suspicious of the SEC until I read that. That comment smells eerily similar to my marriage…or failure.

For all those Big 10 strength of schedule haters, the Big 10 just dominated their rivals from the MAC this weekend….just testing that comment and it still sucks. Let’s save some arguments for the Big East to use next year when they roll through their AA opponents.

Is there anything better then watching a Blooth impersonate a chicken? I just realized you could watch Arrested Development on MSN. Good thing too since I’m almost done wth all the porn and wasn’t sure how I’d fill my 3-6 slot.

Three games, three ACC teams tied or ahead in the fourth quarter, three losses. Yep, that pretty much sums up 2006 from our end.

ain’t dat da truth…

our Conference Sucks…it’s a finesse game..no physicality…only ACC teams that won played other ACC teams…

REGGIE BALL-UGA HALL OF FAME…

Question for Dog fans, more significant player
Reggie Ball or Theron Sapp…

John L. Redacted to Miami?

Thanks, italiangator. I do try to maintain some resemblance to the image befitting a Son of the Confederacy. But to choose a moniker of ‘TOwens’, and to disrespect the entire SEC, now that gets me going.

It’s like Hodding Carter once said: “A Southerner will be polite, until he is angry enough to kill.” It was getting close to time to pull out the camouflaged overalls, and make sure the .30-06 was sighted in.

ShortSleeves, stay out of the library.

Four 10+ win teams, only 3 teams below .500, 5 teams in the top 20, 5 teams in the top 15 SOS. Yeah the SEC sux.

PhilK,
He’s not from Ohio. You don’t need to worry bout him.

Judging by his handle, I don’t want to leave anything to chance.

Official: Chuck Amato’s manboobs are done.

Also official, Shula is gone as well.

Between Shula, Coker and Amato, you could assemble a decent staff.

Shula was in the running for the Iowa State job, but apparently (?) got rejected. From coaching Alabama to getting rejected by Iowa State, if true, does not bode well for his prospects in the future. (but at least it says something about Jamie Pollard)
