Does Oregon even wear their school colors anymore?

#trendsetters

North Carolina State  coach Dave Doeren apologized to Florida State  coach Jimbo Fisher on Tuesday for suggesting the Seminoles were faking injuries to slow the Wolfpack's up-tempo offense.

Doeren's comments came after NC State came close to beating the reigning national champions on Saturday. NC State led 24-7 after the first quarter, but Florida State  scored 21 points in the second half to win  their 20th  consecutive game.

NC State posted Doeren's apology on the the football team's Twitter account.

"I have apologized to Jimbo Fisher & want to apologize to his staff, players & FSU fans for my comments that took away from from a tremendous football game. I left an emotional locker room & took those emotions with me to the press conference. It was a great college football game with tremendous plays made by both teams. That is where the focus deserves to be. I have the utmost respect for Jimbo, his staff and players. FSU played a great game and earned the win."

On today's edition of Fox Sports' "The Audible" podcast with Fox Sports writers Bruce Feldman and Stewart Mandel, Feldman shared a piece of information that was never reported publicly revolving around Michigan's last coaching search that netted them current head man Brady Hoke.

"At this point I think I should point something out when we're talking about Brady Hoke and coming from San Diego State," Feldman said. "I don't know how many people know this, but when Dave Brandon was interviewing to replace Rich Rodriguez, one of the guys he interviewed was (current Texas A&M coach) Kevin Sumlin. He (Brandon) turned down Sumlin and ended up taking Brady Hoke, the Michigan guy."

Update on Devonte Fields 

http://www.si.com/college-football/...ng-signals-michigan-brady-hoke-devonte-fields

Also

 The bottom line with the Harbaughs, numerous sources told The Inside Read, is that it’s unlikely that either will end up at Michigan.

Jim Harbaugh may use Michigan as leverage for a raise in San Francisco or to get out of his contract, which has one year remaining after this season. But it’s not certain the 49ers want him back, especially after they reportedly listened to trade overtures for him last season. He’s considered unlikely to return to college for a multitude of reasons, mainly because he enjoys the pro game more.

Harbaugh was considered a frontrunner for the Michigan job when Hoke got it, but he declined to pursue it. No one would say the word never with Jim Harbaugh, but there are a lot of hurdles.

John Harbaugh also doesn’t appear to be a realistic name. The first issue is his contract, which pays him nearly $7 million per year through 2017. Would Michigan pay a coach more than double what Hoke is making? And that’s after eating a $3 million buyout to fire Hoke.

Also important to consider here is that NFL contracts are different than college ones. There is no buyout language in NFL contracts and an owner would have to release a coach from the contract. The Ravens (3-1) are also good, so Harbaugh could well be coaching into January.

that's cute... for a women's basketball team

You just mad that your team is bringing back potato sack cloth jerseys from the Dust Bowl in the 30's

Regarding GameDay, I can't handle it being THREE hours. Waaaaay too long. I know people love CFB, but cot damn, that's a long time.

 

[cash money 1999]

That 2009 STA team had 10 Current/Possibly future NFL players on it :x

Rashad Greene, Lamarcus Joyner, Gio Bernard, James White, Brandon Linder, Phillip Dorsett, Marcus Roberson, Cody Riggs, Jake Rudock, Michael Palardy

their coach might be on the hot seat if they dont pick things up eventually...although duplicating George Smith's success just might be too much to ask for so i don't know what their expectations are but that lose in New jersey was a complete joke

 

[T0INE]

Really digging those Oregon BCA unis.

Winning > everything.



Dantonio says MSU has protocol for head injuries

Some questioned Michigan State in 2012 when then defensive end William Gholston appeared to be knocked out against Ohio State while tackling Braxton Miller. He was hit in the head by teammate Isaiah Lewis and lay motionless on the ground before walking off the field and then returning to the game.

Afterward, Gholston said he had the wind knocked out of him. But he underwent concussion testing on the sidelines before going back in the game.

Dantonio said Tuesday he didn't want to talk about Gholston because he couldn't remember the specific incident, but he was confident the Spartans have put player safety first.

I know EJ played w/ a concussion vs UF in 2012 after he took a big hit

I dunno if the concussion specialist on the team now was there in 2012

I know it's NFL, but nothing worse than Colt McCoy vs. Steelers.
