Posting this now. Chip thread is already on both the AAC Board and the Memphis Board. I'm ready for this. Hope I can get some sleep tonight. I want another crack at the Tigers and I'm thankful for the opportunity. For all the marbles...

Hmmm. Distraction for Memphis?

Quote:Mike Norvell, who in four seasons has taken Memphis' football program to unprecedented heights, is the leading candidate to become the next head coach at Florida State, sources told ESPN.

An official announcement could come Sunday.

ESPN Sources

Norvell left to go to FSU last night.

Jeff Quinn will be coaching Memphis today.

No way. I don’t believe he would do that.

He didn't. At least there's nothing online indicating that's accurate.

College football really needs to implement the NFL rule where you can't steal a coach while the season is still ongoing.

The Jeff Quinn reference made it clear this was a joke. But does sound like norvell to FSU is a done deal.

Ahhhh! Thanks for pointing that out. It’s a joke. I get jokes.

I hope if Dez is struggling they give Bryant a shot.

Norvell's already signed in ink. Dayum.

Quote:Norvell was chosen from a variety of candidates interviewed that included names as diverse as James Franklin, Bob Stoops, Matt Campbell, Brian Kelly, and Haggins himself.

According to Tomahawk Nation’s sources, Norvell’s contract will run for 6 years with a competitive salary.

You would think Norvell leaving would be a distraction in the locker room and disruptive to game prep.

Kirk Herbstreit is the only one on Game Day who believes in the boys. Go Cats.

Herbie is generally very complimentary of UC.
He's a friend of Fickel's so I expected him to go with UC.
Win and prove the doubters wrong.

He still calls us Cincinnat-uh.

If we don't get shell shocked early, like the first game down 17-7, we are hopefully in a position to win it at the end.

Of course the Moronic 12 conference championship goes into OT.

As if they haven't caused us enough grief already.
