2013 College Football Season

[BFiVL]

Easier to get a head coaching job by being a sec coordinator than an acc one. He's got 2 titles now and if he does a good job at Uga he will be a head coach in no time.

3 titles in a row actually.

Is Mel Kiper for real? I'm not a draft expert, and I don't even know who Bortles is, but would you take Bortles over Bridgewater if you were taking a QB in the first round?

Yes. Bortles throws a better deep ball (Bridgewater has a cannon but is wholly inaccurate beyond 15 yards) and is built better for the NFL (Bridgewater is barely 200 pounds). That said, I wouldn't want Jacksonville taking either one.

I'm actually more surprised by the #1 pick...

I figured he'd go in the first round, but really didn't expect him to go in front of Bortles or Bridgewater. Is it because it's Houston and they want a state of Texas star or am I just really uneducated on Manziel's NFL greatness capabilities?

[Cnasty]

Hype machine and he will sell tickets, jerseys, etc.

Even all that though, I dont think a team risks a #1 pick for only the above. I guess some think he will be a good NFLer.

That's my thought 100%. Ticket sales and merch

I'm interested to see Manziel. He doesn't have the greatest arm, but if you watch him, he can make all the throws very adequately.

But the running around behind the line of scrimmage for 10 seconds thing he likes to do obviously won't work in the NFL.

Kiper is a moron take this with a grain of salt

[Whittness10]

I would like to see Cleveland take Bortles.

Oh I agree, but at the same time it's not like this guy is just pulling names out of a hat. I'd like to know his reasoning for Manziel going in front of all these other players.

Golden Knights

Actually, I would like them to hire a head coach sometime beforehand

[cougnix]

Just watched a highlight reel. What I like about Bortles is he reads defense. He doesn't get the presnap read from the sidelines like a lot of QBs are starting to be taught now.

Looks like FSU DC Jeremy Pruitt is heading to Athens after Todd Grantham left for Louisville. I really like this hire.

you like it eh? you dont say



cant say im not bitter...guy is a GREAT adjuster....sad he'd leave.....i know Georgia is Georgia and all respect due and all but dang.....makes me wonder if he knows something we dont about fsu player talent/depth on def......only made 500k with us and signed with uga for 850k but u know we were gonna increase that.

Wonder why he didnt even wait on an offer...maybe how long it took for an offer is the reason

either way, someone eff'd up not locking or being able to lock him in

anyway, goodluck dawgs, ya got a good one

He is buddies with Bobo and Will Friend plus a a pay bump. I don't think there is much more to read in to it nole.

ahhh, thats what i was looking for. didnt know there was a connection

thanks biff

Georgia has so much talent on d but have underachieved for such a long time. If he can get those players to play up to their talent and stay out of trouble then he will be gone in 2 to 3 years being an HC.

One of the local radio stations here in Jax has reported that the move was not about money, FSU offered to match Ga's offer. But was about a girl.
The guy is 39, But loves the nightlife and the ladies of a college town. The story they tell is that he met and proposed to a 23 yr old girl, but was also messing around with a young girl who works in the FSU athletic dept. Evidently the 23 yr old said yes, but only if they left Tallahassee. So they claim that's why he took the lateral move. Not sure how true it is, but it's a fantastic story.

Here's the link if you want to listen to the story yourself: http://www.stationcaster.com/player_ski ... &f=2315513
