Just turn and walk away

The Greatest Retiree of Our Era calls it a day — again — this afternoon.  What’s the over/under on the number of times the announcing crew bloviates about Corch’s legacy?

That’s one drinking game that could pose a serious health hazard.

“But if you do this the right way, it’ll work.”

Just remember, kids — America is the place where a football coach can be suspended by the same athletic department that gives him a high-profile administrative job a few months later.

What a country!

Today, in irony is dead

I truly have no words for this.

Urban Meyer says he plans to stay connected to the Ohio State University after coaching the Buckeyes for the final time in the Rose Bowl on Jan 1.

In a one-on-one interview with 10TV’s Dom Tiberi, Meyer said he will be co-teaching a character and leadership course at Fisher College of Business at Ohio State.

“If I were Urban, I’d tell you where to stick your suspension.”

Yeah, I’d say the Ohio State president’s handling of the Urban Meyer suspension didn’t go well.

Hey, my heart bleeds for him and Corch both.

Thursday morning buffet

A nibble here, a nibble there…

• Think we’ll see Divaad Wilson play in the Sugar Bowl?
• It sounds like Mel Tucker is peeling off another Georgia support staffer to join him at Colorado.
• Five tips for betting on bowl games.
• UCF is making a living feasting on disinterested SEC teams.
• Kansas State is paying Bill Snyder a $3 million buyout, even though he retired rather than being fired for cause.  The AD said, “The buyout is just something I wanted to do,” and in the next breath went on to say the payment is “not really a buyout.”
• And Greg Sankey thought it was actually necessary to issue a statement in response to an online magazine article about CFP expansion, which means he’s either an idiot or eager to get a marker out about how much it’ll cost to get the SEC to give up its championship game.
• This is not a good look for Corch.

The end of another era

Remember all those denials just a few weeks ago about Corch’s future at Ohio State?  Yeah, well…

Urban Meyer will retire as Ohio State's head coach. Ryan Day will replace him.

To say the man leaves a complicated legacy is an understatement… not to mention it’s only 50/50 that it’s time to even consider his legacy.

By the way, one of Meyer’s daughters played volleyball at Georgia Tech.  Just sayin’.

Love and kisses, the Selection Committee

Logically, this makes no sense.  Georgia should either be ahead of both one-loss conference champs, or behind both.

The @cfbplayoff four-team bracket is set:
1. Bama
2. Clemson
3. Notre Dame
4. Oklahoma
——————-
5. Georgia
6. Ohio State

But as an “FU” to Corch?  Totally.

Well played, people.

UPDATE:  The man is shameless.

Urban Meyer makes the case that because the team has been shrouded in scandal this year, they overcame a lot and deserve a playoff bid.
This is great news for teams looking to boost their strength of schedule, all you have to do is make a scandal to overcome!

I guess every coaching staff should have a sexual abuser on it.
