He's actually a very nice man. I enjoyed my brief interactions with him, much more so than I did with King Barry.

Pat Richter was great to talk to as well. I really like him.
What's interesting about ole Bert is the coming together of factors that hurt his Ark tenure. 
- He goes from a program whose division is about to get easier to one that's getting harder. 2012 SEC west has three very good teams, solid Mississippi schools and an Auburn team that bottomed out, and A&M was kind of a one-year wonder at that point. 
- He has an awesome defense in Year 1, good offenses later on, but can't match them
- He has teams that score some big wins, but gets killed in close games
- He uses all those good offenses/defenses/teams that played better than their record and doesn't fatten his record, and then a recruiting downturn eventually kills him. 
I think he's not a bad coach, but one with a ceiling. When you go to a program that has a ceiling (at the moment), that combo won't work.

Not really. Nehlen was on the decline, WVU wasn't a top 25 program when Rich took it over. From '94 to 2000, WVU/Nehlen didn't finish in the top 25 once. 4-7 and 7-5 in Nehlen's last two years. Rodriguez completely changed the entire style of play as well, they went from pro style to spread zone/read option on offense and to the 3-3-5 stack on defense. Rodriguez wasn't on Nehlen's staff being groomed to take over either like BERT was with BA- Rich had been at Tulane and Clemson developing his new style of offense.

Rodriguez actually built WVU up from scratch in his image and took them to heights they hadn't seen in a long time. Rich had 4 top 20 finishes in his 7 seasons there and his last 3 seasons were just excellent- 11-1, 11-2, 11-2.


Nehlen had 3 - 9 win seasons and 2-11 win seasons and 4-8 win seasons in 20 yrs.I'd imagine those 2 11-1 seasons got him in the top 25.I remember his name coming up in C-Bus when Earle got the Axe .Wish they had taken him

For a one-off gameday there sure was a lot of good college football yesterday. Unfortunately I fell asleep as UCLA-Cal got going but I'm well rested to watch Ohio State-Michigan.

I enjoyed the Tech-Texas game, being an ex Big 12er

the targeting should have been called, but didn't change the outcome.  The announcer obnoxiously begging for the call over and over was annoying

I really don't understand programs like Texas and Michigan that can't find a serviceable QB on the roster and resort to playing a freshman

Great day to put out the lights, as was yesterday.   Kids in a big hurry to get out the Christmas decorations, since the tree is coming later today.

O'Korn SUCKS. Had Hill wide open for a first over threw him. Had Wheatley wide open by 10 yards for a first down down the middle of the field threw a crap pass.  It hurts watching this guy. He's so bad.
