Yup. LA is where its at for his family.

his wife is in entertainment and USC gave him his 1st shot at big time while his alma mater told him to Eff off last year.
 

Is his suit still downloading?

 

[shannonscrooks]

That downloading comment is one of the funnier things I have read on this board. Well played sir.

Bryan Harsin to Arky State?

After Mack fires Diaz he's gonna have to rebuild that staff again

Hopefully that'll keep him around for a few more years.

 

[i lax bro]

Damn, seeing that empty stadium at the U is crazy haha. I always thought the kids would be crazy about football due to their name.. Just like the heat, its empty though. Was pretty packed here, but then again we have a pretty long list for alumni gaining tickets.. Find out tommorow if I get these bcs tickets doe, cost me 25 bucks in app fee just for it -.-

 

[dacomeup]

Old UT OL coach Sam Pittman headed to Cincy.
 

 

[JCMojica24]

I think he's gone after next year....He's becoming Bobby Bowden during the "Lost Decade"

 

[nako xl]

She's cute but Johnny could do better.  He's got a Heisman now.
 

 

[do work son]

she's a f****** bird

her and johnny had split for a little, so who does she find in the mean time? former A&M quarterback jerrod johnson.

 

[scarsorscabs]

Read that Texas Tech is focused on Kliff Kingsbury & Chad Morris. Anyone have insight?

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

Dameyune Craig looking for the $?

I would imagine so, but we can't afford to lose Craig lol. Need to pony up some cash

Barn ppl saying that Gus is gonna offer Craig $350k , pretty big raise

Shortly after arriving in Lubbock, Danzey and at least two other recruits — lineman Sunny Odogwu and receiver Javess Blue— along with “eight to 10” coaches, including Tuberville, all went to dinner at the 50-Yard Line Restaurant on South Loop 289, Danzey said. In the midst of the conversation at the table, he asked the coaches how long they expected to be at Tech (if they were not fired), he said. “I asked Coach (Charlie) Weis at KU and Coach (Dana) Holgorsen at West Virginia (the same question), just so I know my relationship with them,” Danzey said. “(Tuberville) was just telling me he coached at Miami and Auburn, he coached 10 years and recruited Ray Lewis and kind of blew the question off I didn’t even realize.” He added: “The waitress brought our food out, and we thought (Tuberville) went to the bathroom, but he never came back to dinner. Then next thing I know, the next day, he made an announcement that he’s going to Cincinnati.”

:x

 

[dacomeup]

Damn.

I guess Gran to Cincy is a done deal, and now Hinshaw being floated around as possible WR coach name. It really just looks like QB and TE Coaches are the only spots yet to be filled if the whole TTech Defensive Staff comes.

 

[tmay407]

I'm not sure Kliff Kingsbury is ready to be a head coach, but great for him if he gets the Texas Tech job. He's got the former player thing working for him, but Morris has more experience coaching. Morris also probably has a slightly better reputation with Texas high school coaches since he was such a great coach at Lake Travis for a while.

Either one would be an interesting hire for TTU. There has to be some concern over what kind of staff Kliff would be able to assemble though.

 

[flahustler 1024]

Losing Craig would hurt sow out in Bama. DC put in that work for those bama kids on the roster.

D. Robinson and A. Collins visiting UF this weekend

Scumbag Tuberville

Crying @ Tuberville....he gave no damns

2013 JUCO DT Marquel Combs to Kansas.

Very nice pull for Weis

 

[jmb1523]

Man if we lose Chad Morris...

 

[jhawk826]

It's time for another All-America team -- here's the CBSSports.com selection, if you've missed it -- but this one comes with a twist. It's the Pro Football Weekly team, and it's not particularly concerned with production or achievement on the college football field -- not nearly as much as the potential for that production on the professional field.

As the PFW's introduction writes:

PFW's All-America team annually honors college football's most talented players and is determined based on extensive evaluation and considerable feedback from NFL evaluators, taking into consideration how players grade out both in their assignments and by the quality of critical playing traits. PFW honors are distinguished by the premium placed on skill, football temperament and instincts and seek to recognize players we expect will become outstanding pros.

It's not the approach we'd endorse for anyone other than PFW, but it provides an interesting (of, if you prefer, misleading) alternative perspective -- one in which Syracuse's Ryan Nassib, the second-team quarterback in All-Big East voting, is a first-team All-American.

Here's the team:

Very good look for Nassib. The transformation he's made from his RS Frosh year to now has been nothing short of incredible and you have to give our OC some credit for that. Hopefully we don't skip too much of a beat when his backup, Charley Loeb, steps in next year.

[h1]Big Ten may keep Rutgers and Maryland off network[/h1]

[/td][/tr][tr][td]Jim Delany did not mention his negotiation practices during this press conference. (US Presswire) [/td][/tr][/table]
Good news, Rutgers and Maryland fans, your schools will be joining the Big Ten in 2014, bringing a nice influx of that cold hard cash into your athletic departments. It's just too bad you might not be able to watch all of their games once they've joined the Big Ten.

Yes, that's right, according to the Sports Business Journal, the Big Ten is considering keeping Maryland and Rutgers games -- both football and basketball -- off of its own Big Ten Network in an effort to get local cable companies to place the network on their basic tiers.

Just another reminder that conferene realignment is about nothing more than eyeballs staring at televisions, which produces money whether those eyeballs know it or not.

At the moment the Big Ten Network is available in the home markets of both Maryland and Rutgers, but it's located on sports tiers that are optional to cable subscribers. However, at the moment cable subscribers outside the Big Ten market are paying about 15 cents a month for the network. Once the network hits the basic package and the markets are in the Big Ten's market, that jumps up to 80 cents a month.

So that means for every million cable subscribers in those markets -- subscribers, not people actually watching the Big Ten Network, just those with cable -- the Big Ten will make an additional $650,000 a month, or $7.8 million a year.

Between New York City, New Jersey, Baltimore and Washington D.C. there are roughly 18.1 million people. If only 50% of those people have cable that's nearly $5.9 million a month for the Big Ten Network.

So if you still had any questions about why the Big Ten would choose Rutgers and Maryland, it's probably a bit clearer now.

Also, this is not the first time the Big Ten has used such tactics, as it threatened to do the same thing with Nebraska before it joined the conference as well. Of course, there wasn't much resistance from the cable companies in Nebraska as their customer base would not have been happy without their Cornhusker games available on television.

However, it will be pretty interesting to see whether or not New York cable companies even bat an eye when threatened with the possibility of losing Rutgers games.

NY cable companies will gladly lose Rutgers games. Their footprint in the NYC metro area has been overrated.

Its pro potential with actual NFL feedback not the popular pick from sports writers who don't have an ounce of ball experience.

If Kliff gets the Tech job... 

 He's been coaching 4 years.

Matt Elam cant even get an honorable mention?

[COLOR=#red]She's just using all 3 holes to secure a future for herself. It's an SEC tradition actually.

Welcome Gig Em Poon to SEC
While the SEC awaits Missouri to enter the conference, we wanted to correct an oversight of not officially recognizing the Texas A&M Aggies entry to the SEC. We believe Gig Em Poon will be a solid addition to the Poon of the SEC family. Welcome!

[COLOR=#red]I'd be the 14th man in line for that trim [/COLOR]
