    "GOP lawmakers suggest Petreaus gave misleading information". Not that they have evidence or anything like that. The GOP lawmakers just suggest that he might have. As if we should believe any damn thing that GOP lawmakers have to say about Benghazi at this point. [/size]

     

    For some reason they were less interested in covering Benghazi a week ago when the House Intelligence Committee released the results of yet another investigation that showed that there was zero wrongdoing.

     

    What's crazy is that so many people (my father included) lap it all up. Hook, line, and sinker.

    Link to the investigation results?

  2. I'm kinda laughing about it. SEC this, SEC that, and a couple of perennial Big XII also-rans are powers if the 'best' conference. Mizzou won what, 2 Big XII North titles and now lead the SEC east by 2 games... True power right there..

     

    Mizzu and A&M are doing much better than we are. We haven't won a conference title since 1999. We live off our own legacy 95 this, 95 that. TO this, TO that. We've done nothing but get embarrassed on national TV since the 2002 Rose Bowl vs Miami. Both teams play in the best conference in CFB and are doing well oh and this is the same conference that has won the past 7 MNC's and a total of 9 out of the BCS's 15 year history. Yeah. FACTS buddy.

  3. Alabama ducked Oregon last year to claim a tainted, questionable national championship.

     

    Right now, I'm thinking the Pac 10's top teams might be more formidable than the SEC teams, but any team in the SEC that is over .500 automatically gets voted as being in the top 25 by an unbreakable rank of Southern voters.

     

    I disagree, yet I will also say that it is just further reasoning why a playoff is good for college football.

     

    Although I would prefer 8 teams to 4.

     

    meh.... this article is well worth reading. The whole thing.

  5. 2 things...

     

    We have a relatively new AD, who probably isn't looking to make waves with his new job. As much as I hate it, he will not be the one to fire Bo or make any coaching changes.

     

    We need a coach (and staff) who have balls. Who won't let off the pedal with 6 mins left in the half and try and be conservative every end of every half. We need a coaching staff who on 3rd and long with 1 mintue left in the half and the other team has a timeout left, won't just concede by running the 3rd failed rush play of the series, but at least attempt a pass for a first down while our passing game was still working. We need a coach that realizes he has another very valuable tool in the cupboard for our running game and if option A isn't producing at a point in the game then put in option B and who is averaging about 8-10 yards per carry. (Pelini did it 2-3 yrs ago with Helu and Rex, why not try it again since it worked back in the day?) We need a coach who will adapt to change and make adjustments. But most of all, we need a coach with a set of cojones!!!

     

    remember the 2008 season when Helu was a freshman? I think the coaches did a pretty good job that year of using RB's properly, for the most part. Sure, Marlon Lucky may have gotten a few extra touches since he was the senior, but Helu would come in, hurdle a dude, run some more, than get sat down as a nice change of pace. We also had Quentin Castille and he ended up being a force against Clemson in the bowl game. I just don't understand why we didn't use Imani more. He was and is a beast.

  6. I don't pretend to know the nitty-gritty of football coaching philosophy, but any casual observer can see we are going in the wrong direction, and the blowout meltdowns are not tempering at all. It's like there's no middle ground in the Pelini era when it comes to losing where we are barely beat in an otherwise good game (the kinds of loses most people can take without punching things)...we either have a total meltdown, win very ugly, or miracle our way back into the game in the big games.
