Cowherd = JAUD

[Kaos]

Cowherd is just another USC douche at ESPN.

"Kiffin traded up. Just get over it "

If the situation were reversed and kiff had left USC in the same manner? The pissing and moaning would be extreme. He's a blatant USC homer. And don't get me started on Shelly Smitb. Her face is always red because she is grinding out multiples to photos of Carroll.

I want our own pet reporter.

Evan Woodbury is already in that position courtesy of the REC.

[Kaos]

Wow.

This douche just defended Orgeron by claiming every coach in the SEC started calling Tulane players the day after Katrina hit.

The bullshit astounds me. What's worse is that so many just blindly accept this kind of nonsense at face value. 

[Saniflush]

WTF? 

Like we would call Tulane players.


LSU player probably, but Tulane?

Cowherd is a USC homer, no question.  I've even heard him half-heartedly admit it.  But....was he wrong?  Didn't Kiffin trade up?  Even if just by a little....didn't he take over a program that is historically in front of Tennessee, and in more recent history light years in front of Tennessee?  I'm sure he's making more money too.  And he's in LA, not Knoxville (which for him, and a lot of people, is an upgrade).

I can't stand the Cowherd homerism with USC, but I don't see him as being wrong here.

In reality, Kiffin did trade up, if you're Kiffin. USC is a better gig than Tennessee. However, when we're talking about Lane Kiffin, that kind of fucks everything up. Tennessee fans don't realize it yet, but he just did them a huge favor in the long run. I think the ADs at BOTH schools should be shitcanned. Both of them for hiring Kiffin in the first place.

Yeah, that's bad.  There is no excuse for Orgeron.  Not to mention he was wrong and stupid in what he told the kids.  It doesn't matter if they went to class or not.  If they were registered for class on the first day, they are Tennessee students at that time, even if all that's heard in class is "Bueller, Bueller, Bueller".

It pains me to admit this but I agree with you here. This was a blessing in the disguise of a few mattress fires.

[Mr. Sensible]

Kiffin will be on the Cowherd show today.

That'll be a slurp fest for sure.

No doubt.  Cowherd will be lobbing softballs. 

[Mr. Sensible]

According to Cowherd, the following people are in the same boat.

I think deep down inside, they knew he was a fuckup, but still defended him. Really, that is probably where all of the anger comes from right now. But when they get over that, they will realize that this is a blessing in disguise.

Not the trade up comment so much as the flippant "You're Tennessee, you stupid fucks.  Get over it." 

And for the record?  Tennessee has just as many national titles in the last 20 years as USC.

Yeah, Shelly "I just rubbed one out to a magazine photo of Pete Carroll and flossed my snatch with a strand of his silver hair" Smith ridiculed the hillbilly Tennessee reaction in comparison to the love-fest at USC.

"He left Tennessee with an unruly mob burning mattresses, cursing him and shouting out his wife's cell phone number (why didn't I get that?) and arrives here with the adoring players chanting "We are SC! It's a big change for the Kiffins." 

Stupid mommy part (sorry TW).

Yeah, I agree with that...there is no reason to try to insult and minimize Tennessee, as if they are Clemson, in order to make the point about USC being the better job right now.  The opposite argument would have been valid all through the 90s.

As for titles, USC does have 1 BCS and 1 AP.  Also, now you sound kind of like him....USC is in the title picture every year....even if it's just until they blow a game to UCLA, Stanford, or Oregon State....they are in the picture.  It's practically theirs to lose.

Tennessee hasn't been able to say that in quite a while.

Since 2000:
USC - 102-26, 7 Top 5 finishes.
Tenn - 83-44, 1 Top 5 finish...no other Top 10 finishes.

You know what I meant by "recent history".

[jmar]

As much as I hate to admit it, USC is the team of the decade with a record of 102-26, 6-1 in major bowls and 2 national titles.
 Florida 100-30 4-1 in major bowls, 1-4 in others and 2 titles.
 LSU 99-31, 4-0, 3-3, 2 titles.
 Ohio State 102-25 4-3,1-2, 1 title.
 Oklahoma 110-24, 2-5, 2-1 1 title.
 Texas 110-19, 3-1, 4-2
 Miami 92-33, 3-1, 2-3 1 title.
 Georgia
 Oregon
 FSU
 Va Tech
 Alabama 89-50 1 title
 Oregon St.
 Michigan
 Auburn 88-39 1-0, 5-3
 Notre Dame
 Tennessee
 Ga Tech
 UCLA
 Cal
 Penn St.
 Iowa
 Wisconsin
 W. Virginia
 Boston Col.

also Boise St. 112-17, 3-4 other bowls

These numbers are from the College Football Data Warehouse and converted by a renowned numbers genius who blogs on The Sporting News site, a defense atty, going by George_Tirebiter. He converted the top teams and I didn't have proper time in one sitting to pick the formula nor to tabulate. Very good site for stats though. He would know.

[Kaos]

Something there doesn't compute. 

Alabama has one more win but 11 more losses over the same span? 

[jmar]

Conference Championship games , BCS Title game and all bowl games.
2000- 2009 3-8,7-5,10-3,4-9,6-6,10-2,6-7,7-6,12-2,14-0 for Alabama
                9-4,7-5,9-4,8-5,13-0,9-3,11-2,9-4,5-7,8-5 for Auburn

Still doesn't add up.

Alabama only has 79 wins, not 89.

[jadennis]

Alabama was 79-48 for the decade, which is pretty amazing considering they were 53-46 through the first 8 years.

Jmar, you also left off Texas' 1 national title, which makes for 11 titles in the decade, but that's because of the LSU/USC split in 2003.  Maybe those two teams have 1.5 national titles in the decade.
