OFFICIAL 2017 COLLEGE FOOTBALL OFFSEASON THREAD - Spring Game schedule on first page

[dragicon]

It's a struggle fest out here in Boulder right now. PAC12 refs are the worst.

my goodness these Bruin receivers.

i can;t imagine what it must be like to be on Mora's staff this year. Coaches must resist from strangling him

 

[cash money 1999]

Drinking and shooting the **** with assistants and SIDS 

 It's getting better though.  We even have places getting gentrified to hell by suburbanite post-college white hipsters like other major US cities now. 

I don't know about UO but the Les thing was purely political and had to do with that recruiting class.  Michigan's AD is fully self-sustainable, if Jim wanted 8-10M like what was being rumored it wouldn't have been a problem for him to get it.  Despite LSU's issues on the academic side I'm sure a similar dynamic exist in their AD. 

They could probably empty the bank for Jimbo and a A1 staff, they just have to be willing to accept the political consequences. 

lot of people are investing real money in the city would be dope to see detroit popping again.

CU's QB gets facemasked, lobbies (successfully) to official behind him, completes pass for first down

 

[dragicon]

^ the linesman from 20 yards away was the guy who ended up throwing the flag


That game last night set college football back about 20 years. 11 personal fouls, 5 interceptions, 4 missed field goals,

I'm happy the buffs won, but had we not been playing ucla, a performance like that should have been a 30 point loss for CU

 

[onlyjays9p]

Najee is a lock for bama right? Friends trying to convince me he's coming to Michigan...

 

[zs05wc]

Tell your friend to stop.

[h5]Few, if any players, will ever have the impact on a football program the way Reggie Bush did for USC. Both positively and negatively, there are dozens of events which can be connected back to Bush. In some ways, Bush unknowingly sabotaged the recruitment of a player the USC coaching staff had earmarked as his true heir apparent. Virginia Beach (Va.) wide receiver Percy Harvin was that player. The Trojans were kings of college football and Harvin was the No. 1 player on their board. [/h5]
USC had set his official visit for a homecoming game against Washington State. Joining him was another potential Bush replacement, Harrisburg (Pa.) Bishop McDevitt running back Lesean McCoy. However, McCoy showed up on campus in crutches from a broken ankle he suffered earlier in the season. He also had some of the worst transcripts that USC staff had ever reviewed. Last week, former Pitt head coach Dave Wannstedt implied that McCoy would have ended up at USC if the Trojans weren’t scared off by his injury. That is plainly false. It was McCoy’s grades that caused USC and many other schools to back off of him late in the process. In fact, Wannstedt failed to mention that McCoy arrived at Pitt after attending Milford Academy to get his grades up. 

McCoy loved his visit to Los Angeles, but Harvin’s trip didn't go as smoothly. Reggie Bush was Harvin's host for the weekend. The problem was, after the game, Bush left the team hotel to go hang out with Lloyd Lake at a club in Los Angeles. Bush often referred to Lake as his cousin, but he was an acquaintance of Bush’s stepfather, Lamar Griffin. 

When USC running back’s coach Todd McNair called Harvin to check in on him, the Trojans No. 1 recruit was still at the team hotel by himself. That didn’t sit well with McNair, who immediately called Bush. However, Bush had given McNair several numbers to reach him. In addition to Bush’s regular cell phone number, which he did not answer, McNair called another number. That number happened to be Lake’s phone, who Reggie was with at the time. In a cruel twist of fate, the NCAA used this call log to accuse McNair of consorting with Lake in their investigation of USC. Phone records show that was the only time McNair called Lake's number.

[h5]Who Did DAT?[/h5]
January 30, 2011, rumors begin to fly that De’Anthony Thomas was officially visiting Oregon. The rumors stopped being rumors when a photo of Thomas and Diamond Bar (Calif.) freshman wide receiver Cordell Broadus, son of Snoop Dogg, hit the Internet. The Trojans top rated prospect took a secret trip to Eugene (Ore.) less than a week out from signing day. USC didn’t know about the visit until that weekend, which said plenty about where Thomas was headed. 

Lane Kiffin scrambled to gather intel and to somehow get into contact with Thomas. But with the dead period in play, it became a game of phone tag with his high school coaches. Somewhere along the line, USC had slipped up and Oregon made their move to checkmate. Soon, the rumors went from if Thomas was committing to Oregon to why Thomas was going to Oregon. Well before signing day, stories began to surface about Thomas fleeing Los Angeles because he was the witness of a murder. It was clear something changed in his mind about USC late in the recruiting process. 

While there was never substance to the rumors of Thomas fleeing L.A. for his safety, the photo of he and Broadus decked out in Ducks gear after returning from Eugene did resonate. At the time, Snoop Dogg was looking for an apparel sponsorship for his youth football program. Thomas’ connection to Snoop went further than his son as well. Snoop helped raise money to get youth football in Crenshaw off the ground and the individuals involved in that project help mentor Thomas throughout the process. Thomas himself played in Snoop’s youth league. By the time Thomas announced his decision to go to Oregon, it was a foregone conclusion for USC fans following on USCFootball.com. 

Snoop pushed a few kids to Adidas schools in exchange for that Adidas deal...
