Wow after watching that I watched the Miracle at Morgantown, The Miracle at Lane, and then the 2011 Miami Game final drive....
hell, I'm a Michigan student and I know this is how it happened.
oh, Lynchburg. I spent a week there one night.
at least we'll have an RZ package. Remember in '09 (or was it '10?) that we didn't have one to begin the season?
I CANT GET ENOUGH!!
The high school I went to runs a veer, they're planning to do it from no-huddle this year.
Ran across this one a few days ago:

And #4 should look familiar from the other day. The sheer ridiculousness of the horse GIFs made them necessary to use at some point here on TKP.
Where on earth did you get this. Love that the sunglasses just chill there.
Just for reference, here is the preseason 2012 AP Poll .
Oh, I agree. Whole-heartedly. I guess I was mainly just blown away by how wrong the pollsters were last year and how little preseason expectations can mean. And while it's tempting as a fan of an unranked team about to take on the consensus #1 to wonder if (and hope) they may be wrong again, I don't really think they are, at least in regards to Alabama. The circumstances at USC last year are nothing like what Alabama is looking at. I definitely expect them to be really, really good.
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!! GLad you like it! Please keep on spreading the word!!! Go Hokies!!!
Well, yes, they hung 70 on Clemson in the Orange but that's neither here nor there. Big 12 defenses are regularly abused by prolific passing attacks, and Holgorsen was already familiar with all the defenses he was going to face (flip side, they already knew him, too). They did beat ranked Texas and Baylor teams during the early season stretch (plus many creampuffs).
But I would not rule out Louisville. Bridgewater is legit, and they only lost a CB and a center (neither of which were drafted). Then they added Michael Dyer. With a weak schedule (and I mean they play NOBODY), I'm expecting them to go undefeated. The only remaining question for me is whether their SOS will keep them out of the MNC. Any two major conference undefeated teams will get the nod before them, but if they live up to expectations, that team will not be one to be trifled with this year. If they don't go to the MNC, they'll be a tough out in any BCS bowl (which they retain for this year).
And their offense that could score at will, seemingly...
That and they were wildly overrated because of one really good bowl win (cough Louisville cough cough)
I found it interesting that the odds Bama is being given to win it all this year are similar to USC's during last year's preseason. I knew they were the preseason #1 but I didn't realize they were so heavily favored. It's tempting to wonder if maybe Alabama won't meet a similar fate, failing to live up to the preseason hype. I don't see anyway they collapse on the same scale USC did (I'm not sure any team has ever or will ever crash and burn so spectacularly) but I do think they might be slightly less invincible than they are currently portrayed.
Do we have to wait?
The hardest I've laughed at anything was that picture of Darth Vader filling up a bottle from a Brita in the surf. I also love this site.
When I made a video from my high schools "midnight madness" practice, that was open to the public, the coach asked me to let him approve it before I posted it on youtube. I just don't see how the staff at a college program would have less control over their in house media than a high school program would have over a video from an open practice.
Alabama, at this point, is primed and ready every year. Last year was supposed to be a 'down' year for them given their losses in the previous draft. USC was supposed to reload like Carroll when they got off of probation, but what the pollsters didn't realize was that Lane Kiffin will never be the coach Carroll was. That program is in disarray and will continue to regress while he is there. Meanwhile, UCLA is becoming a decent team, RichRod is building Arizona and has a QB that can run his system, and Az State has exactly zero academic requirements and a 10:1 blonde-to-guy ratio. With Oregon being who they are, and Stanford taking all the smartest kids and the 'cool' factor having worn off of USC, I can't imagine them being back to 2004 level anytime soon.
I love that. I would do it if I was building a program from scratch. I'd probably run the veer, too.
This was also the reason given for WVU's swoon in the second half of the season last year. Now that they're in the Big 12, they have extensive travelling every conference away game.
Neither is Cal
When I saw that they wanted the links taken down, I think Loeffler must have been like Doing from Futurama.
Bad video, but... You told THEM about THAT?! Cracks me up.
