2012-2013 NCAA Football Thread (National Signing Day)

[Duckus]

in 2 years, if you are still in austin, my goal is for you to have a visitor.

I will be here. Hopefully the B12 still will be.

Come on down. A great town - especially on football weekends.

Really looking forward to watching WVU v K-State.

Red River next week!

Dude, check out the Irish.

I know Miami is an inferior opponent, but they're beat up on them pretty badly. They're beating them like a good team should beat them.

3rd best team in acc.

A Red River without RP

Every year he'd go and enjoy the Texas Fair and then the game

It was a tradition for him, and he loved the fair. It sucks

Texas is still a year from being ready for prime time.

You can see the progress, but still not there yet. Next year we will be back.

I wouldn't be surprised to see that.

Across CFB the trend is score, score, score, score some more. Up tempo, no huddle, run 90+ plays.

The time of possession running/conservative offenses are a relic of the past

cool...coaches coaching like my 13 year old nephew picks plays in madden.

this is going to wear on me.

i don't know. i don't get the nostalgia for 3 yards and a cloud of dust.

3rd best team in acc.

They're ranked 100th in points allowed in the nation. Yes, they have a good offense, but defenses still win championships in College Football (see: 2011 BCS Championship Game).

Notre Dame has a top ten defense and they're showing it tonight.

i never said they were national title contenders.

there's a difference between running the spread or air raid and defenses having zero respect (rightfully so) and being a joke. the more i watch CFB the more i become disinterested because outside of a few teams, there's not many scary defenses out there. It also gives me no hope of a non-sec team winning the national championship this year. to me, a fan of a team that has almost zero chance of winning any kind of championship, or sniffing a bowl, defenses are what makes CFB exciting to me.

i also think it's a joke that a top 15 team has a worse defense then Maryland (which is my team). You can say whatever you want about WVU playing bad, but Maryland held WVU's offense to half of what Texas did in West Virginia, and didn't get attempted on 4th down 5 times (completing 5 of those). At least MD's defense got respect from WVU's coaching staff (or the offense didn't get any respect from WVU's coaching staff, which I can live with)

[Major Harris]

so you are saying that, based off of the matchups with wvu, that maryland is a better defense than texas?

u think espn is in bed with the big10? how is nebraska / ohio state their lead story?

[ixcuincle]

FSU is in danger of losing to NC State. I guess that paranoid FSU fan was right.

[Major Harris]

and espn is in bed with the SEC.

for sure. but it's a 3 way.

i would say that Maryland had a better game plan with inferior talent when compared to Texas against WVU. But maybe it's a case of the 2000-2011 Redskins, where the defense looks decent because the other team knows they only have to put up 25 to win the game.

and espn is in bed with the SEC.
