I had doubts when Brady Hoke was hired but the guy has proven a dynamite recruiter. He had the 7th best class in the nation in 2012 and his 2013 class is #2 behind only USC. He has Michigan going in the right direction.
Should be good times at the "Big House" this seaon. Especially with Penn St. and Ohio St. paying the Piper.

Some college football related news from Louisiana.
The Louisiana Tech Bulldog died of a heat stroke after an employee left him outside and then covered it up by saying the dog was missing. I think his name was Tech XX. I know it's not national news but it's causing a controversy locally here.
That is extremely saddening to hear. Bulldogs are very susceptible to heat stroke, which is why Uga has an air conditioned dog house at the games. RIP, Tech XX
I want USC bama championship cuz i love lane kiffin but id still want bama to win it all lol so I want destruction plus it's betas team
I thought Kiffin very overrated until recently. He'd accomplished very little prior to taking the USC job, but he's turned out to be (along with Saban) the best recruiter in college football. A solid game coach too. I'm sure USC will have a national title or two in the next 5 years.

I thought they weren't allowed to win a National title unless they join the SEC?
I've never heard a fan base outside of USC's ever utter these words!
TLK
I just like his swagger and while i think he's capable of shady sh* I honestly don't think he's done much of anything wrong. He whipped that tennessee program into shape in one year in the SEC! I also think he got a bad wrap in Oakland and had he been given a real leash he'd have turned th around too and it's clear he wanted no part of fat russell so I just want to see him get some success

It happens sometime just like when someone who applies for a job and doesn't get it even if they're the most qualified
FORT WORTH, Texas -- TCU starting quarterback Casey Pachall admitted to police that he smoked marijuana and failed a drug test in February, two weeks before his roommate was arrested during a drug sting.
The revelation was in a Feb. 15 police report obtained Friday by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram and first reported by TCU360.com, the university's student media website.
In an e-mailed statement to the Star-Telegram, TCU coach Gary Patterson said he was aware of Pachall testing positive Feb. 1. There was no indication if Pachall had or would be punished.
"I have always taken a very strong stand on student-athlete health and welfare. We have policies and educational programs in place to help guide our student-athletes," Patterson said in the statement. "We are committed to helping them make healthy choices and have moved forward. We have had 25 drug tests in the last 18 months, including one by the NCAA at the Rose Bowl. We've had six drug tests since February."
TCU players are scheduled to report to campus Sunday for the start of fall practice. The Horned Frogs are preparing for their first season in the Big 12 Conference.
Tanner Brock, then Pachall's roommate, and three other TCU football players were among students arrested Feb. 15 by Fort Worth police after a six-month drug sting. All four arrested players were kicked off the team, and have received probation after pleading guilty to marijuana delivery charges.
Melody McDonald, a spokeswoman for Tarrant County prosecutors, said last month that linebacker Brock, defensive tackle, D.J. Yendrey and offensive lineman Tyler Horn, all 21, had pleaded guilty. McDonald said the convictions would be cleared from their records if they complete probation, which is common for first-time offenders.
Brock got four years' probation while Yendrey and Horn each got three years.
The Star-Telegram said cornerback Devin Johnson pleaded guilty Friday to three charges of delivery of marijuana and received three years' deferred adjudication probation, according to the Tarrant County district attorney's office.
In a supplement that is part of the Feb. 15 police report, an officer wrote of details of his interview with Pachall on the night that Brock was arrested at the Fort Worth house they shared.
When the officer asked Pachall if he had ever used narcotics, the report said the player replied that he had, and had smoked marijuana as recently as a week or two prior to that night.
"Due to Casey being a student athlete at TCU I asked if they receive any drug test," the report read. "Casey replied they do and that he failed their most recent one which was right after he had smoked marijuana last. Casey stated that he smoked marijuana maybe a day or two prior to the test."
The report said that Pachall also stated that he used cocaine and ecstasy in the previous year, but said "Both were just a one-time thing and [he] hasn't done either since."
Police released Pachall while Brock was taken away from the residence in a police car.
Pachall set school records with 2,921 passing yards and 228 completions as a sophomore last season. He also threw 25 touchdowns in his first season as the starter replacing Andy Dalton, who started last season as a rookie for the Cincinnati Bengals.
Sorry, I was referring to the 2004 BCS title. I knew they still had the AP. USC never should have been stripped of the BCS title anyway. I still think the 2004 team was one of the best college football teams of my lifetime.

I knew it wouldn't be like a mass exodus day one. It would be more a slow roll just like with UMD's transfers.
