College Football What-If?
ElongatedHorn's post about Burnt Orange scenarios and Doc Saturday's latest post about the "overrated" Terrelle Pryor got me thinking about some recent college football "what if's" that may have drastically changed the landscape of college football today.
What if...West Virginia doesn't lose to Pittsburgh? 2 loss LSU never makes it to the BCS Championship. Fans realize Les Miles sucks (well, realize earlier). LSU fires Miles and hires...Mike Gundy (some schools never learn). Rich Rod's spread offense overwhelms the "slow" Ohio State team and a Big East (!) team is a BCS champion. SEC isn't the sh*t after all. Urban Dictionary has an entirely different definition of "Dick Rod."
What if...Colt McCoy takes one extra second? Burnt orange nation is stunned. "Hunter" is nowhere near as legendary as "Dusty." Garrett Gilbert doesn't get the "championship experience." BCS voters leapfrog TCU to #2 over #3 Florida and #4 Cincinnati in the polls. Alabama plays another Texas team...and destroys them. A BCS Conference team plays Boise State...and destroys them. No one cares about the non-BCS schools this year.
What if...Reggie Bush never got caught? Pete Carroll stays at USC. Seattle still drafts Earl Thomas over Taylor Mays. Lane Kiffin stays at Tennessee. Lane Kiffin never makes Esquire's Sexiest Woman Alive poll. Seantrel Henderson stays at USC. Randy Shannon, certified good guy, never gets lumped in with these cast of characters.
Finally...What if...Sam Bradford doesn't get hurt? OU loses to Texas anyway. Bradford gets drafted #1. Bob Stoops is still an ass. OU still sucks.

I love the what if game...
What if Colt McCoy actually plays the entire MNC?
The Horns might have beaten Alabama…
Alabama’s record against the Horns might be 0-9…
McCoy possibly gets drafted higher than where he was taken…
Everyone here would be far more nervous about GG taking the helm…

We all knew Lane Kiffin was sleezy but I did not know she was a woman!
michigan vs app state
When app state beat michigan it was in 07. when they still had henne at QB and mike hart at RB. Pryor was still in hs i believe
Yeah
The appy st loss happened in Carr’s last year. One of the influential factors in the decision to bring in a spread guru the following season, and Rich Rod spent his first offseason as Michigan’s coach unsuccessfully recruiting TP.
If you're so sure of what it ain't, how about telling us what it am!
Like my dad always told me when I said "What if"...

No, but your dad would be in a REALLY awkward position
wouldn’t he? :-)
Stumpy: It's called the '80s. Ford was president, Nixon was in the White House, and FDR was running this country into the ground. I was bummin' in a hole-in-the-wall town in what is now called "Utah".
Anyone else find Pryor's decision a bit suspicious
The guy forsakes a big-time program with tons of national media coverage and a history of putting QB’s in the NFL, not to mention a new coach that is EXACTLY FITTED to his style of play and instead signs with another school that has an offense which isn’t at all appropriate for the kid (as has been evidenced in the debate and general impatience around Columbus these past two years), and a school that isn’t exactly always on the level?
No hard evidence for this – its just always left me wondering.
Tressel is a good recruiter.
He seems to do things the right way up there. Haven’t heard any rumblings since the Clarrett situation eight years back.
Sports is man's joke on God, You see, God says to man, 'I've created a universe where it seems like everything matters, where you'll have to grapple with life and death and in the end you'll die anyway, and it won't really matter.' So man says to God, 'Oh, yeah? Within your universe we're going to create a sub-universe called sports, one that absolutely doesn't matter, and we'll follow everything that happens in it as if it were life and death.'" - Sam Kellerman
Tressel
After what he saw out of Vince Young in person, I’m sure TP became that much more of a priority for him. Michigan has also had the deck stacked against em when it comes to recruiting against OSU because to the high school athlete it seems like Michigan hasn’t beat OSU in decades.
