I’m not saying it’s happening, but when Godfrey is hinting at it the chance is not 0
Did Godfrey actually say the name Brian Kelly?
Gun to my head I’d guess Urban over BK with those clues in the tweet. Urban is Catholic.
Fickell is also Catholic.
I’ve spent several hours enjoying the melt on Tiger Droppings. That probably says a lot of bad things about me, but there are some terrible people posting there and they are not happy.

Looked at it once, it’s why I’m so happy. SECRant is a genuinely awful community.
I’m fine with borderline teams–and the occasional legitimately deserving team–getting screwed to avoid having yesterday’s UM-OSU game be between two teams that have effectively clinched playoff spots.
I was wrong. Herm staying. Admin maybe decided we’re so fucked it doesn’t matter.
Is there any evidence that any coach they could reasonably get can do any better?
I feel like ASU’s ceiling and floor has a difference of two wins a year with an outlier on either end two or three years per decade.
Hopefully one of you guys can help me with this one. I barely follow college football at all, so I’m sure there is an easy explanation.
Why is Wake Forest’s conference record listed at 7-1. They lost to both UNC and Clemson.
Buddy they could guarantee um and osu playoff spots and that game wouldn’t be any different
The legend of undefeated Wake Forest continues Saturday as the No. 9 Demon Deacons head to Chapel Hill to take on the North Carolina Tar Heels in a non-conference game.
Yes. You read that correctly.
Despite the fact that both schools do, in fact, play in the ACC, their game on Saturday will not count toward the conference standings, meaning a Wake loss wouldn’t do anything to prevent what will almost certainly be one of the stranger conference championship matchups in recent years.
So, why are these two in-state rivals playing a non-conference game? Well, the answer ultimately comes down to conference expansion.
Wake and UNC played annually (with the exception of a few years during the World Wars) from 1888 to 2007. But with expansions in the ACC — initially to 12 teams in 2005 and then to 14 in 2013 — the two teams were placed in opposite divisions and given different protected rivalries.
Though they’re scheduled to play an ACC contest next year and ended up facing each other last year with the altered schedule due to COVID-19, they hadn’t previously played a conference matchup since 2015. In an attempt to keep the rivalry prevalent, the schools agreed to play a pair of non-conference games in 2019 and 2021, with Wake Forest taking the first contest in Winston-Salem.
“This is a unique opportunity to play a regional rival in years that fall outside the normal conference rotation,” UNC athletics director Bubba Cunningham said at the time. “We have a long history with Wake Forest that has historical value and will generate interest within our fans.”
Since this is a Very Normal Year in the ACC, we expect that there will be absolutely no shenanigans of any kind during this strange quirk of college football scheduling.
Thanks. Mystery solved.
As a die hard OU fan, losing Lincoln Riley sucks. He seemed to be a good person on top of a good coach. Recruiting commits are dropping like flies now also. I legit have no idea how they replace him.
A long time has passed so maybe the history isn’t relevant any more, but I think so, eventually. No one could do a lot better in the near future, given that sanctions are coming, recruiting has collapsed, and assistants are going to be fired.
I don’t have anything against Edwards. I like him. I’m disappointed he allowed the recruiting violations during COVID.
This year’s team didn’t just underperform. They seemed not so much badly coached as uncoached. I don’t know what accounts for the combination of an experienced team and a penalty average nearly 100 yards per game.
Finding a coach to take on basically rebuilding OU as they head into the SEC is going to be tough. OU fans aren’t ready to lose 2-4 games(maybe more) a year on average. Whoever replaces him is fired in less than 5 years imo.
They’re in the bargaining phase

California must be a lot better than Oklahoma.

It’s pretty brutal that his recruiting had been exclusively focused on the west coast this entire cycle.
The big winner outside of USC here really is Texas A&M.
Looks like Oklahoma has had 6 4+ star recruits decommit in the last 24 hours.
They’re going to be Vanderbilt level in the SEC if this keeps up.
