2009 College Football Predictions

[Marlow]

As you can see, I have hard time believing anything, UM says about his health situation.

You're making it sound like he has some ulterior motive. Whatever it is, it's not working in his behalf. What do you think is really going on?

My take on it is that he and his family got scared and made a 'family decision' to quit. But as soon as he got back on the practice field, he realized how unhappy he's be w/o football, went home and told his wife, who realized he'd be miserable w/o football, so she OK'd it with some new ground rules in place of 'how' he could continue coaching.

Do you think he would have 'quit' (sic) unless it was something serious?

I never question people's motives, as I have no tools to know them. The facts point to a lot of inconsistencies and outright nonsense.

To what end? Do agree with my scenario above, or do you see something else going on?

Your scenario requires plenty of assumptions, which I don't do. As I said above, a lot of inconsistencies, some nonsense. In the privacy, I would tell you, what I think of UM at this time, but not on the public forum.

Meyer came out today and admitted that he was lying when he said that he went to the hospital after the SEC Championship for dehydration. But I guess he had no choice after the audio of his wife's 911 call was released yesterday.

That shouldn't be an issue. People have a right to tell the rest of us what they want to regarding their health.

I'm not sure there's an ulterior motive with Meyer. If there is I really don't know what it would be.

Les Miles is truly the worst coach in college football. A screen pass at the 50 with 39 seconds left and no timeouts? WTF?

I'm watching Bobby Bowden's last press conference right now. There's lots of teary eyes all around.

Any opinions on Northwestern's fake FG rather having the alternate kicker try it ?

It was a trick play("fastball") devised by late Northwestern coach Randy Walker.

It was horrible call....put your quarter under center if you don't have faith in the new kicker. Plus coach Fitzgerald should've had his left footed soccer style kicker on the left hash even at the end of the game and not in the middle.

To compound that, the kicker was in the middle again in OT on that miss, apparently he doesn't even know this about his kicker.

It's hard to knock the decision. Even a made field goal, which was certainly no gimme with a redshirt freshman kicker, only ties the game again and sends it to another overtime. Each additional OT would have only favored Auburn. Like Boise back in '07 against Oklahoma, when they pulled out the statue of liberty play for a two-pointer instead of kicking the PAT, Northwestern rolled the dice on a win instead of a tie. Unlike Boise they came up snake eyes.

OK, guru, it's put up or shut up time! Both UF and UC have their coach issues, so it's all even up as they take the field. This game is for OUR bragging rights!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

It absolutely is not all even. Brian Kelly is in South Bend, Meyer is still on the Gator sideline. To compound matters the guy who IS running the Bearcats has one foot in Buffalo(though I think he is well-motivated to win, and did direct this offense all year).

But not having Kelly's personality leading the team is a loss. How much we shall see.
