What's the expression about truer words spoken?

Doubt there's ever been great player w such a legacy who'll get overshadowed at #SECMediaDays like Jake Matthews will today.

Which brings up the neccessary question...what kind of impact has all of this had on the locker room?

Are Finebaums ears parasitic organisms? Will he eventually dry up and disappear because of them? Answers dammit, we need answers

 

[JoshB]

Supposedly Manziel was going to "come clean" (according to Joe Shad) today but def. doesnt seem that way to me.

Saw his interview on espn, he was elusive. That's what got finebaum worked up

 

[planomateo]

Too bad he isn't getting any real football questions. Lame reporting if you ask me.

 

[bearsnest]

Clowney ripped on some QB's (Murray/Boyd), that was kind of funny, makes me hope we can play them in the SEC championship, I would like a little revenge for teh 2010 loss, I can see how our line would like to take that personel

Umm, bullchit

 

[JoshB]

Yeah when Mullen said that my thought was "I wish." Clowney is a once in a lifetime freak of nature.

 

[UAgrad93]

Love how Manziel spoke of AJ being his roommate there at the Manning Camp! :sarca: Now when AJ walks in tomorrow, all he will get asked about is, "why didn't you wake Johnny up?"

I know this is thinking WAYYY ahead, but I want USCe in the SEC Title Game something fierce! I have never fully gotten over that loss. For some reason, I had a much easier time getting past the losses to LSU and the barn that year than I did that one. I guess because I knew we would have chances to pay those two teams back in spades with them being in the SEC West while USCe rolled off of the schedule after that season. The day of that loss, October 9, 2010 was a very strange day. I laid into one Bama fan that day who said A) he was glad we lost because the team was sloppy and needed a "wake up call" and B) he was glad that the barn was still undefeated and would be pulling for them the rest of the season because he wanted them to be undefeated coming into the Iron Bowl. I KIND of understood the part about wanting them to be unbeaten coming into the Iron Bowl, but to be happy that they won and glad that Bama lost?? NOOOO!! We have since payed back the barn and the corn dogs, but haven't had another shot against USCe since that dreadful day. I want em, bad!

Gus from the Les miles school of speaking?

Sorry, I haven't gotten over that loss to the 'Barn animals on 11/26/10, and I hope the team hasn't either.

I think a match-up with USCjr is very possible this year. Of course both teams have to get there first, but it is very possible. We know about Alabama already, so lets look at them. They have North Carolina at home on Thursday. This giving them 2 extra days to prepare for Georgia, who is coming off against what we'll assume to be a pretty close game. Then they have no Alabama, LSU, or A&M on their schedule until probably the SECCG. Last but not least, Florida at home, where they could win the East in that game. The stadium would be electric as it was against Alabama in '10.

Me honestly, I don't care who we play in the East. I just want to beat the hell out of A&M, Auburn, UT, LSU, and get a shot at beating down Blohio State.

^^^^ This! Esp. the last sentence! RTR!

 

[bamaraider]

I think Brett Bielema gave probably the best answers today.

 

[UAgrad93]

I agree Raider! I love how Bielema responded to the reporter saying that Mahlzan thought it was a "joke" that coaches were saying the hurry up offense caused an unfair advantage and also resulted in more injuries. I think Bielema would've snapped the little weasel's neck if he had stepped back into the room. I must say I was impressed with him. Mahlzan on the other hand, looked and sounded like a Les Miles with hair. Anyone else notice how he referred to each of his assistants as the best coach in college football at their position? Damn!! I know coaches blow smoke up their players asses; and the fans too, but your own assistants?

 

[Bamabww]

Gus sounded like a immature, unsure of his position, coach. Kinda like we had with Coach Shula.

 

[Bamabww]

Amen brother.
