Hell, this guy got away with rape, so pushing an official ain't nothing to this punk...unbelievable.

I want to see something grotesquely ridiculous....but the refs often have short fuses. Watching that short video about 5 times I just don't see the visciousness I was hoping for.

FSU is continuously playing with fire.

If he wasn't gone after last year with his meltdowns on officials and his tape recorded "f*#k the fans" rant, I can't see him being gone. Even though I think he should be. He has always been defensive and combative towards administration, showing an absolute refusal to fire any assistants.

His resume is deceiving. The media would tear apart Nebraska for getting rid of him for winning at least 9 games every year like they did when they fired Solich. Him and Saban are the only coaches in the nation to win at least 9 games every year for the last 7 years or something.

The problem is his results vs. top-25 teams. He is 5-19 against them and normally they don't just lose...they get beat to the point of having records set against them.

2008: Missouri 17-52 L
2008: Oklahoma 28-62 L
2011: Wisc 17-48 L
2011: Mich 17-45 L
2012: OSU 38-63 L
2013: UCLA 21-41 L (led 21-3 and gave up 38 unanswered)
2014: Wisc 24-59 L (led 17-3 and gave up 56 consecutive and 600+ rushing)
2014 : Minn 24-28 L (2nd consecutive loss to Minn)

USC losing composure on 2 straight plays.

UCLA looks really really good. Right now them and Oregon for the Pac 12 would be a great watch.

Despite their best efforts, somehow Ohio became bowl eligible with a 24-21 win over Miami. Good jebus that was a horrible, horrible, ugly motherfucker of a game to endure.

Ohio beats Miami on a last second FG to become bowl eligible. If I were a betting man, I'd guess the Quick Lane bowl. Really hurts Akron's chances assuming they beat Kent.

The best part about OU's game with Miami last night other than getting bowl eligible? I just read that Michigan's basketball coach went on a rant after their game with Villanova because the football game ran late, so ESPN2 pushed back the start of their game from 10 to 10:15 (complete with "I wonder how Spike Albrecht feels about this with a *GASP* 9 a.m. class tomorrow!!!!" bitching).

Poor Jim Beilein. Us Bobcats get you every time. Lol.

Only watched some last night to see Oullette play. He was a walk on at OU and earned a scholly very, very quickly. He is from small school Covington.

When Bobby knight was at IU he wouldnt allow them to play the late game on school nights. That is why they always had the 7pm slot.

You're kidding right? Highly doubtful either gets a bowl game, looks like BG, UT, NIU and Central will be only MAC teams to go bowling

Lol, first, as said last night, the MAC has 5 bowl slots, so your guess of 4 teams is hilariously inaccurate.

As for Ohio or Akron, since they're (I think) the sixth and (potentially) seventh MAC team, it depends on conferences filling their slots or needing other teams to step in and scavenge them. In their favor, at least one and perhaps two will be able to do that. Against them, they're likely going to be considered the two worst bowl eligible teams in the FCS since the conference was 0-for-Bowls last year and neither OU nor Akron is really worth anything other than a near-guaranteed win for virtually anyone good enough to make a bowl at this time.
