C Nick Mangold (All American, B1G Champion, National Champion, 7x Pro-bowler, R.I.P.)

Buckeneye
I genuinely feel like I was gut punched when I saw it come up on the ESPN clip.

If I could go back and relive that 2005 season every year, I would. Nick was a big reason for that. For as great a football player as he was, dude always seemed like he was equally as good a person.

I feel for his family and friends. I feel for his coaches along the way. Seeing Rex Ryan just break down in tears, you can't help but think coaches like Rex and Tress view this sort of loss as almost like losing a child.

Not sure what else to say. Not sure what else can be said. It's a collective hurt, one I'm hoping his family, friends and Buckeyes everywhere can resolve to work through together.


God speed, #55.

SEC (It just means more.. even its losses are wins)

CFB is broken

CFB is broken - Everyone is gushing over Indiana, and the Hoosiers are #2 in the AP poll. They’ve only beaten one team in the Top 28 of the AP poll if you conti

Auburn fan is whining because the Big Ten teams haven't played or beaten enough ranked teams.
Here's where we need that diagram showing that SEC teams' rankings are inflated because they play SEC teams that have inflated rankings.

Same poster, but not the first post in the thread:
Our entire playoff was a joke last year because we let Indiana, SMU, etc in because for some reason the CFB world wants to pretend that playing Wake Forest and Boston College is no different than playing Tennessee and LSU.

Someone else says:
These rankings dont matter, it will all get sorted out in the playoffs.

To which, the original guy responds:
Like last season?

So, okay, let's look at what Auburn did in the non-conference. You know... the part of the schedule that a team can choose.
Alabama A&M
California (lost)
New Mexico
UL Monroe
All home games.

1. Get the voters to stop inflating the SEC rankings and then you'll see more ranked Big Ten teams playing more ranked Big Ten teams.
2. Stop paying attention to the AP rankings to determine strength of schedule.

Brian "Body Kount" Kelly (Temu Ed Orgeron)

here's my take on the Brian Kelly era.

you can be a complete asshole if you dig a program up from the dead and raise them to National Prominence.
Nick Saban is the pasteboard for that. People hated Nick (the person) because of how driven he was and it was obvious his way worked.

you can also be a complete idiot as long as you can at least maintain that level of relevance. Les was a literal cartoon character. But he was fun guy to hang around with and he kept the program at a high enough level long enough to stick around for over a decade.

you can be an illiterate ogre as long as your winning. O is borderline mentally handicapped (and that's not really joking). When we were winning, that was fine. Not real funny when the winning stopped.

but what you cannot be is a condescending dickhead if you aren't bringing home titles. plain and simple.
Les and O were given more rope than Kelly because their personalities were a lot easier to tolerate.
Kelly treated everyone like they were beneath him. And if you're going to act like that, you better bring home Nick Saban level results.

When you lose to Vandy (first time since 1990 we've lost to them). When you lose at home to A&M (first time that's happened since '94), you need to have SOME sort of redeeming quality. Kelly has none of those.
and just like the last guy to lose a game to Vandy, or the last guy to lose at home to A&M, Kelly will not be coaching LSU the following season.

Can't speak to the veracity of this report, but it is a bit humorous. And if true, looks like he improved his golf game about as much as he improved his coaching game.

That's only two rounds a week, every week for 4 straight years.

Figure 3-4 hours per round so yeah, he gave one work day a week to golf.

Leaves lots of time for recruiting, on field coaching and film work
