I can't believe Carroll is going to Seattle. This sucks.
It was a good win, and people need to stop with they "hypothetical" crap. Bama won; it's in the books; let's move on now.
Tuberville to Texas Tech. Says he's keeping the aerial attack on offense to maintain continuity, but will make changes on defense.
He probably wants out before the NCAA sanctions.

Only thing that makes real sense. Because he had the choice of any recruit he wanted while at USC.
From Wetzel @ Yahoo! Sports:
"Sources with knowledge of the situation say the NCAA is in the final stages of what has become a two-sport, department-wide investigation into USC athletics. A source told Yahoo! Sports that Reggie Bush voluntarily met with NCAA investigators last summer to discuss allegations of receiving extra benefits from marketing representatives.
The NCAA is expected to finalize its investigation in the next couple months if not sooner.
Details in the case date back to 2004, when Bush allegedly began receiving cash, clothes, cars, travel and a rent-free home for his mother and stepfather from marketing companies. The case could run through last month’s revelation that Joe McKnight (“the next Reggie Bush”) was driving a SUV registered to an L.A.-area businessman. It also includes agent activity surrounding former basketball star O.J. Mayo that led to the resignation of coach Tim Floyd and the school sanctioning itself last month.
If the NCAA declares Bush retroactively ineligible for the 2004 season, the Bowl Championship Series has said it will consider stripping the Trojans of its lone BCS title during Carroll’s era.
By the end, who knows what will be left."
Looks like he saw the NCAA coming and decided to get out of dodge.
Kinda reminds me of John Calipari this past year except he didnt go to the NBA. USC must be about to take it bad because Pete is getting out of NCAA coaching so he cant be punished lol.
Ya as much as I hate USC it does suck for them. It sure looks like USCs reign over the Pac 10 is over.
I saw somewhere that Mike Reilly is a leading candidate for the USC job. I don't think Riley will inspire top recruits to come there like Carroll did, unless they continue to get paid as well as past recruits then maybe.
Riley is a Bammer, and played for Bear Bryant in the glory days. Of course, I pull for the guy. He was the OC/Asst. HC at USC from 1993-96, and did a great job in that capacity. However, you're right about Riley's personality. I seriously doubt he will inspire recruits to come to SoCal like they have been in recent years. He's about as far away from the "Hollywood" persona as you can get... which is to his credit.
Do they have the god damn forward pass in Tuscaloosa???
I am gonna watch it again but that was not a dominating win.
A green as **** QB gets them to within a FG and that is dominating?
Sorry but McElwain and Satan went to sleep in the 3td Q. Was like watching Larry Coler again.
If Punt Bama, Punt were so powerful - how in the hell was it that close?
Serious
They played their game and won, Texas's defense was pure trash and that is what cost them 37pts, not Colt McCoy.
Thanks to those who repped/IM'd their congrats. Had an unbelievably fun time in Pasadena. We took over The 35er Bar on Colorado! Wall-to-wall crimson all day! ROLL TIDE!
Lane Kiffin took the USC job. wow! I didn't see that coming.

Damnit!! Kiffin would not have been my choice. I'll have to roll with it, but doesn't mean I have to like it. He'll need to prove himself to me.

Is Monte following his turd of a son?
No matter what league Kiffin coaches in, I think the SEC will forever hate that piece of trash.
Lane Kiffin took the USC job. wow! I didn't see that coming.
How can a school that's facing NCAA sanctions hire a guy like Kiffin? This is exactly what USC didn't need. Norm chow and Monty Kiffin coaching offense and defense does sound pretty good though.
No matter what league Kiffin coaches in, I think the SEC will forever hate that piece of trash.
Just read that Gruden turned down Tennessee's advances. They need to hire someone big to make up for this debacle... but there aren't to many big names out there. I doubt Muschamp would be interested because of his "coach-in-waiting" status at Texas.
Maybe Mike Leach???
Everyone in the PAC-10 is gonna hate him as well
This whole Carroll/Kiffin/USC discussion begs the question...

the answer to "who can stop the tide"????...........PENN STATE..9/11/2010
He wasnt a backup, he was a true freshman that had never started and he brought Texas within three. Your offense didnt "rebound and restart" from conservative play calling. They had a 4 yard field to the endzone and then scored another classless TD after the game was out of reach. You almost lost to a true freshman. Pathetic. Bama can indefinintly be stopped and they will be. Until then, enjoy your walmart trophy, well be seeing you again.

^^^That is the saddest thing I've ever read.
Wasn't a back-up... but a true freshman? Wait... what? Never mind... ((sigh))
How about a little accountability on your team's part? Texas got exposed for what they are -- a one-trick pony. When your star QB went down, did your fierce, #1-ranked rush defense step it up? No... they allowed two of our running backs to go over the century mark. Richardson made them look silly. Oh, and speaking of a 4-yard field... that's about what Texas had in the first quarter. In fact, I believe it was 1st-and-goal from the 1-yard line. Bama's defense DID rise to the occasion then, in order to compensate for a poor play-call on the punt.
Here's what the Tide has gong for them that your team doesn't: Any SINGLE player on Bama's team could've gone down in that game, including their best offensive player, Ingram... and the result would've been the same. Our Butkus Award-winning LB wasn't even our star player on defense last Thursday. Texas got by all year on a soft schedule and the play of TWO players -- McCoy and Shipley. Don't blame Alabama because your team was one-dimensional. Bama was, unquestionably, the best and most complete TEAM in college football this year. Now I know why all the trees in Oklahoma lean south. Because Texas' running game sucks.
Classless TD??? Are you joking? :lol: They RAN the ball straight ahead on every play. Wait... did the 'Horns not see that coming? Christ. It was their defense's job to stop them. They couldn't. Ball game.
Yeah, you're right... Alabama's pathetic. Enjoy those sour grapes, #2. In the meantime, remind Mack to recruit a running back this year.
Theres backup QBs and theres QBs that were in high school 6 months ago. One trick pony? PLEASE. Imagine if Bama lost Ingram/Richardson. Then youd have...your six completions. Bama loses the running game, they are finished. The Bama defense managed to stuff Texas' weak running game, oh man, shocker. Imagine if McElroy had to pass to get into the endzone. LOL. Even though they blew that and a bull**** penalty called back that TD. No really, Alabama sure did shut down that Texas running game. I mean, they really had to worry about that pass threat from the true freshman that had never started a game before. That much have been some tough play calling. "Hey, lets throw 8 into the box."
"What about the next play"
"Thats a toughie, he may throw the ball effectively. Oh wait."
And in fact, thats how you got burned twice on two long pass plays. Bama got away with a bull**** game that lasted 7 minutes as far as Im concerned. If it had been any other postition, then you can pull the team card. But the QB controls everything on that field, especially in a passing offense. The game was bull**** and you damn well know your ******* was tight as a damn drum until Gilbert fumbled on the 4 yard line.
By the way, if you can pull his black **** out of your mouth, how did Wholio Jones do? Oh right, youre a one trick pony. Colt would have raped the **** out of you guys and we never would have had to hear about the hype that is the SEC.
You're in the same class as Lane Kiffin.
Well, here... let me do something Lane would never do: apologize.
I apologize that Texas has depth issues.
I apologize that Texas spent most of the season trying to pad Colt's stats during an unsuccessful Heisman campaign, instead of giving their freshman QB ample playing time.
I apologize that Texas hung their NC hopes on one jersey.
I apologize that Alabama's defense hits so hard.
I apologize that the same QB excuse you refuted after the OU game doesn't work for you now either.
Lastly, I apologize that Saban didn't immediately go to Mack Brown in the first quarter and say, "Hey man, let's just finish this game next month when Colt's feeling better."
You must know that others are reading this thread and getting a huge laugh at your attempt at victim status. Yeah... you don't wear that so well. You've been a total arrogant redneck douche since you entered this thread, and now you want to call the world out for being "classless." If the shoe were on the other foot, I would've been majorly disappointed, but still realized that my team just didn't get it done on defense or in the running game... which happen to be two major phases of a football contest.
The funniest part of all this is that you constantly promote your manhood on here, yet you can't find the testicles to just admit your team lost and congratulate the other side.
So dude, take some advice from this pu$sy-liberal, metro-sexual, west coast elitist f@g: Quit being such a little biatch and just man up.
