Scud what you thing bout Urban going to OSU? My feelings is hey he's a man and a great coach he can do anything he wants. But in the back of my mind I just dont like how he left Florida, health issues, more time with family and less than 2 years later at another program? Doesnt sit right with me. Dunno, glad he's back in ball...but I really hate OSU.

He jumped ship to protect his self interest. Guy is a sham. Health problems? Spend time with family? Bull shit...lol You don't say that and turn around and start coaching again a year later. Going to laugh if he falls flat on his face.

I did find this little nugget a few minutes ago. From December of 2009 when he took a "leave of absence" only to return a few months later just in time for spring practice.

"But what I didn't want to have happen, and I made this clear to Jeremy, if I am able to go coach, I want to coach at one place, the University of Florida. It would be a travesty, it would be ridiculous to all of a sudden come back and get the feeling back, get the health back, feel good again and then all of a sudden go throw some other colors on my shirt and go coach. I don't want to do that. I have too much love for this University and these players and for what we've built." -Urban Meyer 12/2009

I had forgotten about that. Made my blood boil a little bit.

Just VT!

The thing is, that goes against the whole Boise St. logic of why they will probably never get a shot at the national title; they can only play the games on their schedule. VT could have played better teams if they wanted to, but a loss would have only counted against them so it wasnt worth taking that chance. If youre in a major conference youre rewarded for playing it safe.

Every game I watch VT, they impress me more and more. Sure, LSU or Alabama would pound them, prison-style, but Logan Thomas is really turning into a pretty good QB (not to mention a BEAST). I remember early in the season he was SO robotic with his mechanics and now he has a pretty good touch on his deep balls and is making good decisions.

Good article by Forde:

This. He has really come into his own since the shellacking Clemson put on them earlier. And you can see it, they look better every week. That game against Virginia they just put their heads down, and played steadily good football. It wasn't a fluke that they played their most complete game of the season, imo, last week.

Myers has no obligation to anyone except his family. College football is a business and he is free to walk away and then come back. I hope he fails only because I hate OSU. Btw, when is the ncaa going to sanction them?

I agree they seem to get better every game. I dont remember Logan Thomas entire story but i dont think they converted him to qb until the spring, right? Give him a couple years and he could be real real good.

Either way Houston is getting prison style pounded by So Miss so that leaves VT as the only remaining most overrated top 10 team. I dont think Clemson is going to violate VT tonight like So Miss is doing to UH, but i think Clemson is going to pull of a win. Should be a real good game though. Either way im routing for Tech.

Lets go VT!

ive been workin in the yard all day and im exhasted. Cant wait to see that games tonite...gonna be flippen back and forth between the Tech game and the Wisconsin game. Local boy Russel Wilson is gonna go crazy tonite for the Badgers.

LOL Houston
