I think its appropriate to be choked up winning the biggest award in college football.

Yes, the teachers at Alabama are very important, and I'm sure they feel like that having classes canceled for 3 days for a football game.

Now the real reason I was watching ESPN, "The U" is on. :D

Yep.

I couldn't go down to Providence with the team because I had a class on Friday and the professor didn't give a crap that I was supposed to catch a flight. :p

I should have gone to Alabama...

Dang. Was hoping Gerhart would get it but...
 
Re: College Football 2009: Where Championships are won by a majority vote

I can't believe McCoy finished 3rd ahead of Suh. I'm guessing lots of people voted early?

Suh acutally won a region (southwest). Gerhart won the far west and Ingram took the rest.

One way you could do this would be to freeze all hiring from say 15 November to the day after the championship game. The NCAA has the power to sanction schools (recruiting and practice schedule violations), I suppose it could do that too.
Tempting, but that would never work for the programs that don't get to the post-season, IE, Bowl games or for the lower divisions, Playoffs and Classics games. Personally, I would modify your proposal to be a hiring freeze of any coach thats still involved in the post season so that the school looking to hire them would be severely punished, even for just sending out feelers for somebody they might be willing to wait for. If they're Fired from their school, they can go ahead and sign with somebody, but they can't quit their post until they're done with the season either.

Grand Valley State has their last chance on 4th and 15 end up with an incomplete pass with 52 seconds left.

Barring a mistake while kneeling, NW Missouri State will win the D-2 title, 30-23.

They don't fumble and NW Mo St wins the title, their third title, and first in 5 tries.
Yeah, Grand Valley had a shot at winning it, but you just can't spot a team as good as Northwest Missouri State a 21-0 lead and expect to be able to come back from that. They played like dog poop the first half.
After four straight losses in the title game, I'm okay with NW MO State finally winning their third title, even though I kind of dislike them. However, I dislike Grand Valley even more.
Yeah, I really can't be that upset with NWMSU beating GVSU. With all of the Buffalo Bills crap they took for losing four straight title games, its good to see them finally get the money off of their back here. Just kinda wish that they had gotten it done last year against UMD. :p

Big MRG, I laugh at your football team. Nice QB! Ha ha.
Yeah, and yours was sitting at home saturday because Grand Valley beat Duluth at your house. :p
Unbanhammer me ya panzy!!! I promise I'll be good.

Hey "Monster"

Re: College Football 2009: Where Championships are won by a majority vote

If they banned coaches from taking jobs until a certian date it would just open up a can of worms with guys doing stuff behind the scenes and people knowing they were being fired/hired having conflicts all over the place.

If fans/players want a coach back every year then they should go 9-3 every year and win a bowl every other year...anything better or worse is going to lead to a change.

Joe Paterno ain't walking through that door.:D
 
Re: College Football 2009: Where Championships are won by a majority vote

Also, if you want to put a freeze on hiring coaches until after the bowl games/conclusion of the post-season, you probably want to push National Signing Day back a month or so. That way a new coach can get in, get settled, and then be able to get his recruiting up and running by early-to-mid January so that he can get a decent first class instead of cobbling together a class by early February.

I could deal with that. You would also probably nudge the Spring Practice schedule back another week or two perhaps as well, but that would help on the coaches sticking around part.
 
Re: College Football 2009: Where Championships are won by a majority vote

Well, all it really does is eliminate the excuse of "Well, I need to go to catch up on the recruiting". If you push signing day back a month, once the BCS is done, you've got roughly 8 weeks to recruit and assemble a class.

Of course, this could screw up the early enrollees....

Or you make sure there is nothing called National Signing Day and you let Seniors sign during their entire senior seasons.
