Losing Tebow is going to make him sick.

Maybe a joke... Okay, but seriously hope the man is okay. If it's personal for him, hope the best for him...

Shock..

Paging Nick Saban...

I really don't see that happening. I know its popular for AU fans to just automatically throw Saban's name out there for every coaching opening, but its never even close to being right. I know it gives you guys a warm fuzzy feeling to think Saban might leave, but I really don't think it will happen.

What would want to make him want to go to UF over Alabama? He has everything the way he wants it at Alabama, is making some damn good money, and will be playing in the BCSCG in a few weeks. He has the players he wants, and things are on cruise control right now. At UF? You're replacing ALOT of players on offense and defense, mainly offense. Alot of very talented starters. Unless you just want that big of a rebuilding job on your plate, I don't see where that move makes sense.

Yeah, absolutely, why would Saban want to leave when he can have all this?

I'll take that as "point taken".

Remember Coach Meyer had to go to the Hospital after the SEC Championship Game, supposedly for dehydration. But, I've heard...from the skreets, of course....that he has been throwing up on the sidelines during some games this past year and that he has some sort of cyst on his brain that causes migraines and I'm guessing causes him to throw up if his blood pressure gets too high. So yeah, it's definitely health related and he's probably just worn slap out.

By "skreets", you mean ESPN.....because they are sitting there talking about his cyst on his brain and whatnot.

Also, Lou Holtz just said "bitch and moan" on live TV. Awesomeness.

That made me laugh out loud. Those were the only distinct words in the entire sentence - I have no idea what he was talking about, but I heard the bitch and moan part... then something about someone having an affair while they took their kids for ice cream and someone else writing about it... then something about pink ponies and choo choo trains...

According to ESPN, their sources tell them Meyer has been diagnosed with some sort of heart muscle defect. They say it is not life threatening.

The comment earlier in the day re: to a CB tackling a receiver before a pass was thrown was a zinger too.

Dr. Lou quickly chimed that there was more contact there than the Cirque de Solieu (sp?)

Apparently the good doctor has been putting in some extra time during the lull brushing up on some new material.

They must read the X then....because I was watching the same College Football post bowl game talk and I heard them talk about the cyst on his brain, after I'd posted about it. I also heard Dr. Lou go off on some sort of rabbit trail talking about internet message boards or blogs and how people will post things that aren't true and they aren't held accountable for what they post.

Anyway, more important things....
ESPN reads from the X.

Names being thrown out there:
Coach Bobby Petrino
Coach Kyle Whittingham
Coach Dan Mullens
Coach Charlie Strong
Coach Bob Stoops
Coach Mike Stoops

Urban Meyer resigns
