what a farging joke this is...the pussification of america continues...i cant wait for romey rjs or some other old guy to tell me this is a good rule
But it's the taunting rule that likely will create the biggest buzz.
Currently, players who are penalized for taunting on their way to the end zone draw a 15-yard penalty on the extra point attempt, 2-point conversion attempt or the ensuing kickoff.
Beginning in 2011, live-ball penalties will be assessed from the spot of the foul and eliminate the score. Examples include players finishing touchdown runs by high-stepping into the end zone or pointing the ball toward an opponent.
Celebration penalties following a score will continue to be assessed on conversion attempts or the ensuing kickoff.
it's farging ridiculous
Just think, in a couple of years they're going to stop keeping score as to not hurt the losers feelings.
It's dumb.
That is the dumbest sthein for a rule ever. What exactly is the interpretation of "taunting"?

i am currently trying to figure out a way to squeeze the psu-bama game in the day before the eagles opener. not sure if i would be able to stay alive through that.

I am not sure the PSU football team will be alive after that.

RU Rah Rah. Comin to get you Freddie..
excited for the games forcibly moved to new meadowlands and/or yankee? the big 10 isnt adding rutgers so it can play big games in central jersey.
Yea, OK, Toddy. The $102 million expansion will just fall by the wayside now that the Big 10 is calling.
Obviously, the Big 10 wants to expand its footprint, and with RU entering, that footprint doesn't just extend into Piscataway, dummy. With RU in the B10, the conference would now have that footprint in the NYC/Metropolitan area - regardless of whether they played at Rutgers Stadium, Yankee Stadium, New Meadowlands or anywhere for that matter.
Seriously dude - if you plan on being a bigtime sports writer, you may want to have a small idea as to what you're talking about. Just saying.
Damn, that was a spanking.
on the new taunting rule, absolute bullshtein. another example of the ncaa master trying to control the player slaves.
on the big ten expansion, while i love the idea of ND and RU being invited i would've really liked to have seen pitt on that list. regardless as DH stated RU being brought in makes tremendous sense considering the NYC/metro market, which central jersey is a part of. i live close enough to beautiful trenton and know plenty of people from the general area of central NJ to realize as much as well as when i see all of the guidos sporting their yankees/mets & giants stuff there. disgusting actually but whatever so i highly doubt RU home conference games would not be played at RU stadium.

im so sorry i didnt research rutgers stadium expansion before making fun of that loser jersey school. oh how irresponsible and thoughtless of me. im so sorry.
anyway, expansion or not, im willing to bet than some games are moved up there. perhaps not every big game, perhaps not every year. but some games will. theres too much $ to be made, especially with that new stadium. it could be some kind of non conference rutgers/nd game since we all know nd isnt joining the big 10, or it could be some useless game against a pos team like temple or something.

Says the kid who went to Temple - a school where anyone with a pulse can get into. Possibly if you went to a real school such as the one in discussion, you wouldn't be stuck in zesty Brownsville.
actually temple has significantly raised its academic standards over the years. i know a lot of kids who didnt get in, not that im kind of shining beacon of knowledge but the school has vastly improved since the mid 90s when you were making your decision of where to go.
also its not in central jersey, which incredibly is a worse off place than north philly.
but not to drag this pointless debate out again, jewface, i will see you the meadowlands in sunmos box for rutgers/syracuse in october 2014.
I've got my own box at Rutgers, but thanks anyway. I'd invite you up there for a game, but you went to Temple, so yea. Sorry.
Will you two just kiss already?
my favorite Todd retreat tactic is when he tries to sound smart with something that is totally wrong, somebody calls him out on it, then he acts as if the topic is stupid and he doesn't really care.

why ?
1- because it's simply not true.
2- because someone from philly's south central, aka cheltenham should know better.
so anywho, DH, do you foresee RU jumping on the invite ? IMo they should be all over it. the exposure would help them in many ways including recruitting. which in turn would probably hurt PSU. :-\
I hear that Mizzou and Nebraska are the 2 front runners to join the Big 10. My question is, should this happen, does the Big 10 become the Big 12 and the Big 12 become the Big 10?
LOL @ jew on jew crime.

As proud as I am of the steps the program has taken over the last 5 years, you've gotta remember where they came from. This is a team that won 1 or 2 games a year, year after year until Schiano came over from Miami..They lost to New Hampshire and Buffalo at home during his first year, not to mention losing 80-7 to WVU, among a bevy of other embarrassing loses to schools who shouldnt have even had enough students to field teams. To get an invite to the Big 10 only 5 years after the schools first bowl appearance in 30 years is something no one affiliated with RU thought would ever happen, and an opportunity they must and will jump on.
im all for it, actually
the only way temple can get into a bcs conference is if there is a massive shakeup and we fall ass backwards into a 16 team acc or something. our ad is a drunk and our football program is....yea. not a great resume but if a bunch of crazy stuff goes down it might just happen without anyone at temple being able to farg it up.

Anything that makes PSU look as pathetic as they are is good enough for me. It's a second rate university for people not smart enough to make it into Penn, Temple, and Nova and they never have any legit competition in that conference.

US News ranked the top 400 college/university/schools worldwide:

Temple = Didn't make the list
I was more lol'ing because you lumped Temple in with a top 10 world school in Penn and Nova (which I also couldn't find on the list). But Penn State is widely regarded as an academically and athletically superior school.
47th in the country. Fo-tee-se-vunth!

haha. i think someone's guidance counselor was trying to make them fell better about going to school.
psu is one of the top 20 in the country in both engineering and communications. at least they were a few years ago.
I thought it was funny he acted like Temple was some hard school to get into. It's basically the 4 year equivalent of Philadelphia Community College.
temples a solid school over all on par with penn state...theres no discernable difference...really most four year colleges save the very best of the best are essentially equivalent...its all about what you are going for...temple is better than penn state for example in law and broadcasting...penn state better in engineering and horticulture
where penn state has an advantage over temple is in its size...better connections because of his monsterous alumni base...but if you go to each school and get a general studies degree the person who went to penn state is not coming out any smarter than the person who went to temple
like i said unless youre talking ivy league duke mit ect...its really silly to argue over what school is "better"
I just like to bash Penn State. Temple has gotten better though. It has a good programs that are superior to Penn State like business, pharmaceutical, and others.
Penn State is a shoe-in to get into though. All you need to do is attend one of their lowly satellite campuses like Abington and you get right into Penn State.
the only reason temple is better than psu is location
otherwise its basically the same school that is a better fit for each person depending on their major
or you could be some 50 year old MA who hasnt been in the philly area in 30 years and hangs on to out-dated cliches and assumptions that his parents told him

Quote from: KDS on June 10, 2010, 11:25:29 PM

Pretty much, there are a lot of students at the Abington campus who've went to Temple and have stated the same thing. Unless it's ivy league you're basically learning the same crap.
I mean, I was inducted into the Penn State honor society June 12th, so what's that tell you?
I had no idea what school you attended.
actually 2 years at psu, 2 years at temple is a great fit if you can pull it off
you get the best of both worlds (real college atmosphere then 20s city living), spend your first 2 years binge drinking and acting a fool in the middle of nowhere, then get down to business in the big city. plus you get to lay claim to psu football and temple hoops. boom.
I'm one year UNC, 3 years Temple, one year LSE for grad school.
The only years of college I enjoyed were Temple and it's easily the weakest of the 3 schools.
Quote from: SD on June 10, 2010, 11:30:15 PMUnless it's ivy league you're basically learning the same crap.
I graduated Ivy League and it's the same crap there too. In fact I thought I learned significantly more from the professors at grad school, when I went to a state school.
For undergrad, you can learn just about anything just about anywhere. Beyond that it's just reputation, networking, and signaling to prospective employers. A lot of the trappings of higher ed are a bit of a scam, anyway. There are many less costly (in money
and time) ways to educate yourself in a field; the problem is coming up with the piece of paper that supposedly certifies what you know and can do. You're paying for having yourself linked to the reputation of the school on the paper more than you're paying for the instruction.
These days, many people basically decide their school on the non-education-related stuff anyway: the climate, the parties, the sports, the dorms, the relative quality of the Hoyda. Can't blame 'em when the primary function of so many of these schools is day care for coddled 20 year olds not emotionally mature enough for the workforce.
Not to hijack this thread but which ivy league school did you graduate from QB? I was all but accepted to get into Penn but didn't pursue it.
I went to a state college and discovered my lifelong love of puns there. And I memorized my social security number.
Not bad for $25K!
I can say without a shadow of a doubt that I was more academically challenged in High School than I was at Penn State. It's possible that that is a function of the high school I went to many of my hs friends went to much better schools than I did and say the exact same thing, and the hs we went to is considered one of the best in the country.
But ultimately my conclusion is that undergraduate studies have become a joke. Graduate school seems to be the standard by which 'higher learning' is defined these days. Except for MBA programs, those are farging laughable.

back to football and TEMPLE
- 2013 @ psu, 2014 @ linc, 2015 @ psu. they play next year @ the linc and im pretty sure are back in psu in 2012. its a good game to play for both sides.
- close to a 4 year, 2 homes games each series with rutgers starting in a few years. ITS ON JEWHARD.
- notre dame called temple and wants to set something up should they remain independent. they like playing east coast games and probably figure this is one they can win.

Agreed, Is the Big Ten still looking to add other teams? I haven't heard anything since the addition of Nebraska.
im pretty sure they want rutgers, syracuse, notre dame and one other
they could always add mizzou once the 5 other teams leave the big 12 and kansas does what it wants, possibly bringing kansas st along for the ride. that would leave mizzou, baylor and iowa st hanging out and at that point its every man for himself.
theres no reason to take rutgers and syracuse....they would take only one of those and replace the other with md who they really want for the dc and balt markets
so youre telling me all the reports are wrong and they dont want at least a part of the ny market?
i dont doubt them going after maryland, too. that makes a lot of sense (it would also open up a spot, maybe a couple, in the acc and i know of one free agent philly school that would be an ideal fit).
Quote from: KDS on June 14, 2010, 01:06:59 PM

i hope you have a REALLY good editor...cause this is like the 100th time ive posted something...you read it....then you responded with something completely off the wall and not even close to anything i said
the day i dont read the first two words of your posts and then just assume is the day i admit that what you say matters
also, to clarify, simply adding syracuse doesnt give them the ny market. youd assume theyd want to eventually get to 16, so why not both? if they are content with 14, then yes, one of rutgers/cuse (most likely rutgers) and md is a logical fit.
Notre Dame will end up in the Big Ten, eventually.
so its likely they get to 14, then go to 16 whenever notre dame mans up and gets into a conference?
they obviously believe syracuse has a chance to deliver the nyc market or they wouldnt even be a blip on the radar much less a serious candidate...they add absolutely nothing else of importance
They add a pretty good basketball program.
basketball is almost irrelevant in this mix...it might be a tiebreaker type thing...like if they thought rutgers and syracuse would both equally deliver ny then syracuse might get the offer cause of basketball...but id say basketball is even lower than academics
yea
why else is kansas being left in the dust in favor of texas tech?
Reports are now saying that the Big 12 may get a new TV deal good enough to keep the remaining teams intact. So, there is a very real chance that the 2011 season will see a 12-team Big Ten and a 10-team Big 12. Nifty.
texas gets its own tv deal to go on top of the big 12 deal, gets more than okla, osu and tech who get more than everyone else. weighted tv contracts is how they keep the big 12 alive....i wonder now if the pac 10 goes to plan b and tries to get sdsu, fresno, new mexico and idaho or something

QuoteFunny thing. What Osborne really wanted was a seamless transition from the end of his coaching career in 1997 into the AD's office, just the way Devaney had done it in the early 1970s. But the Nebraska chancellor at the time, Graham Spanier, pre-empted that plan years earlier by hiring Bill Byrne for the job in 1992. Osborne was so pleased that he went fishing -- he insisted at the time that it was a trip planned long in advance -- instead of attending Byrne's introductory news conference.

Big Ten divisions set, schedule "80%," Wisconsin and Iowa split (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=5498692)
Someone who knows people find out more. Now.
(http://)
wait, what ?
The Big Ten will have 12 teams in 2011, split into 2 divisions. Each team will play all teams within their division every season, plus 4 of the 6 teams in the other division on a rotating schedule. The rumor is that Wisconsin and Iowa will be in different divisions but will have a "protected" matchup and thus play every year anyway. The same type of thing is very possible for Michigan and Ohio State also, because it would allow them the opportunity to play in the Big Ten championship game against each other.
So if ESPN is reporting this, someone else probably has more inside info. Find it.
meh - couldnt get the text to post - i was pointing out one of the posters responding that said right now penn state/iowa is the biggest rivalry in the big ten.

6 teams per division = 5 games for each team to play everyone else in the division
+ 4 games against teams in other division
= 9 games against the Big Ten
There will still be 3 non-conference games every year for Penn State to schedule cupcakes like Temple and Bucks County Community College.
oh ok 3 at least opens the door for temple or akron or something
but youve got to figure unless the money is too good to pass up they are done playing big time ooc games like bama, nd, etc. i mean they rarely if ever play those anyway but now the off chance is gone.
I expect that they'll still have one non-conference game against a decent opponent every year, but you're right... it will be harder to fit into the schedule.
penn state has uva in 2012 & 13 and rutgers in 2014 & 15
wait until they start selling temple as that "decent" opponent
then youll see

Not directing this at DH, but is there anything less interesting in sports than sponsorship changes? Does anyone really pay attention to it or even care for that matter? I've never referred to any sporting event by it's sponsored name and I think it's got to be about the worst advertising method a company can spend it's money on. Then again, these companies must turn some sort of profit from doing it otherwise they would have stopped by now.

Sporting
event dook, not arena. But I agree though, if my teams have to play in a stadium that has a corporate sponsor, then I'd prefer for it to have a name that has good flow or is somewhat relevant to the city/teams. I still wish the Eagles/Phils would have gone in the same direction as teams like the Broncos or Browns when it came to naming the stadiums. Or even the Rockies, Cards or Brewers.....sure they are corporate names but are highly relevant to the team/city they play in. Oh well. It could be worse....at least we aren't going to games at Tampax Field or some shtein like that.
You care so little you write 37 paragraphs about it.

:-D - god this still brings a smile ear to ear.
just look at the dipshtein's face .... plus you gotta give the picture taker some credit, great work. i actually thought DH was going to clock one of the old ladies behind us at the skins game like this.
btw - watched the airing of the psu/miami feista bowl last night. man what a farging game that was. still remember that night and the bottle of jack that was consumed and the mayhem afterwards.
I remember when I was looking online that morning for game re-caps and whatnot and stumbled upon that picture. A true holy shtein moment.
More details of Big Ten alignment (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/news/story?id=5519832)
I hope PSU gets an annual crossover game against someone like Nebraska or Iowa, not MSU.
there was a 50/50 chance for penn state to be in the Big Ten championship game each year, and they lost

farging temple nova going down to the wire and espnu has a god damn hs football game on
got it on espn3....nova about to kick a 41 yard fg for the lead with 1:40 left
been following on my phone
dont even know what to say
its one thing when were a joke its another thing coming off a bowl game and picked to win the mac
al golden sucks. there. he does. he can recruit but he cant coach and i dont even care if they win this game they are pathetic for going to the wire with nova.
what a run

but its nice to beat those main line snobs

I was following via the gameday thing. Wish I could have watched the actual game on TV.
getting temple athletics to do something sensible.....dont count on it

eight players in the md navy game have more than 50 yards rushing
why does md football play tougher ooc games than md hoops
i dont know but this game is awesome
4th and goal at the goaline
theyve run for like a 1000 yards this game...how do you not go for it...at the same time you could be skewered if you dont make it
md just gave temple a home and home, i think 2 sets actually. gotta like the balls to go and play a pos mac team on the road straight up.
but yea this is a great game. how great is college football.
holy shtein va techs jerseys are an abortion
what a scene tho....the stadium is literally shaking....chills

what a great game...perfect example of why cfb is easily the best sport going...only in the first week of the season can you get a game of the year...and now every wekend from here on out will have at least one game of the year
last night is also a perfect example of why a playoff would hurt cfb...game would have meant virtually nothing with a playoff in tact...without it it was basically a playoff game

Right, so with the system as it is, instead now Va Tech (and probably Boise) will just end up playing in a meaningless game on Jan 1 or a few days after.
probably is the key word
thing is we dont know whats gonna happen because there isnt a playoff...and thats why an entire three month regular season contains so many epic games...theres like four of them this weekend alone
please don't start up again with the playoff nonsense.

I disagee...I think if there were a playoff, and Boise lost last night it still hurts them immensly. Not as much as it would have under the BCS but a 1 loss Boise team would end up playing a much better team than say a 2 loss SEC team in a playoff, which in turn could end their season. The entire idea that a teams season can be squashed before Labor Day is just ridiculous to me.
Edit: This weekend's schedule has all the pieces to be epic.
well i disagree as i do with 99% of the population on this issue but last night was the perfect example of one of the many games that would be hurt by the institution of a playoff which is why i brought it up in the first place
should also be noted that the only teams whose season can 100% end before labor day are non bcs conference teams
but i dont have any problem with that anyway...with only a 12 game season you shouldnt be able to lose multiple games and still win a national championship
the less losses you are allowed to have the more games that mean everything
The BCS system has been an improvement in that it at least attempts to match up #1 and #2. The problem is that you have teams like Boise State that have historically gone undefeated but are left out in favor of a team with a loss and a tougher schedule. There is really no fair way to settle an issue like that, but the logistics of a significant playoff are hard to get around.
I still think a playoff with 8 teams could be manageable and fit within the existing bowl system to a large extent. The team that finishes at #9 would bitch a lot, but let them eat cake.
Keep the BCS...Top 8 BCS teams play in a playoff...It ain't rocket science, people.
Quote from: FastFreddie on September 07, 2010, 11:27:28 AM

This is true, and no matter how many teams you allow into a playoff system, there's always going to be that 1 team left out who believes they should get in. The thing about it though is that once you get out of the top 4 or 5, it's fairly easy to rank teams after that with very little grey area. In other words, the team that's ranked 8th is almost always definitively better than the team ranked #9. It's rarely that easy when it comes to a few teams at the top of the rankings. That's where the playoff comes in and settles the argument on the field instead of letting a computer or a bunch of geeky writers do it.
theres usually only a couple teams than can legitimately claim to be the best in the country and never more than three
to allow 8 in means you should just allow 16 in...theres little difference btwn eight and 16 where as bwtn one and eight is large....this isnt cbb that has 25 teams that could win it all

this is all true and is also one of the reasons i love the current system...life aint fair sometimes and i love the drama and discussion pts it creates...its not like any other sport and that makes it special...i also like the nfls system...both are great in their own ways
nfl playoffs pawn and cfb regular season pawns...i slightly prefer the latter because college has 12 incredible weeeknds to follow where as the nfl might have 12 great

Because when you compare 8 and 9, there's definitely more of a gap between them than there is between say 1 and 3. That's not to say that the team ranked 8th is an absolute lock, but the further down the rankings you go, the easier it is to separate 1 team from another.

I would argue that the exact opposite of that is true.

Correct. That was the Hawaii Bowl where Chris Johnson went off. Still pissed as I was planning on going to that but it was xmas eve and we had to go somewhere else. My son went and still talks about what a beast Johnson was that day.
seeing DonHo scream fatty at Weis was priceless. Knowing his wife and JR were closer yelling, even better. All the ND players were staying at the sheraton obviously, they had some of the best tail i saw on the island following them around

ill give you people 1 guess what team is 2-0 and won their first overtime game ever
good for temple. golden has really turned that program around.
their first 2-0 start since '81
their first OT win since ever
beat that sucka
temple people are really bitter about this....they want that invite to the BE even though it will never happen
in fact they are holding onto their weakass contract with the linc that stipulates they can be the only college team to play home games there. that hurts nova since their stadium doesnt and cant ever meet FBS standards.
so, nova either has to go franklin field (no chance to win there) or ppl park (need to add a few seats), with ppl being the most likely option. or they could buy temple out of the linc or buy into a shared arrangement or something. im sure the temple BOT would take that $ in a heartbeat.
why they need handouts like bill cosby u?
they could build the taj majal of stadiums out on the main line out of petty cash. no need to be using o-p-p.
what are the requirements for a I-A stadium?
i think 20 or 25
and no, nobody wants delaware
They could just expand their own stadium, it's in a great spot, plenty of parking (esp for the main line) and 2 regional rail stops on campus.

they could build the taj majal of stadiums out on the main line out of petty cash. no need to be using o-p-p.
apparently, they have a terrible relationship with radnor township, bad enough that they couldn't even add on their existing stadium if they wanted to go that route.
omgtrafficjams!

i think 20 or 25
and no, nobody wants delaware
you know me too well. They're planning a new stadium across from the current one that houses 22k. They've talked for years about it being their ultimate goal. Nova and Delaware have pretty damn good programs, but they'll be fish out of water at the next level i think.
theres not enough hs football talent in this region to support another bcs team
Wake and Duke are tied at 35 at the half in what has been the single worst display of BCS conference football the world has ever witnessed.
i've been watching that game and it's been a hilarious display. fun as hell to watch, though.
mmmm... krispy kreme...
Krispy Kreme is essentially the only thing that funds Winston-Salem. The city is empty now since Krispy Kreme has fallen on some pretty hard times in recent years. Their donuts are delicious though.
Hawaii is spanking Army, Die Hard is crying and boarding a flight to punch Don Ho
Pretty sure Die Hard is halfway between sobriety and a coma in preparation for Rutgers' game tonight at 8 against Florida Tool & Die.
Lattimore from SC is a beast. and a true freshman.
it was 20-0 when i left the house for errands in the Hawaii-Army game, hell of a comeback by Army.
Hokies down vs JMU. GT lost to Kansas, and Wake-Duke scored 102 points with no OT. Nice ACC.
lol hokies
nice win by JMU
I'm sure Boise fans are thrilled.
6 AM to watch birds play, absolutely. 6AM to watch Hawaii/Army, farg you.
miami with kick and punt returns to stay in this game
denard robinson is the truth.
also, what the farg is wrong with these guys...i've seen no less than 3 desean jacksons at the one yard line today. ND dude just got away with it but he dropped the ball around the 2.
Manti Te'o

He is sickly fast. But maybe just for the slow Big Ten. His arm is not so great, but who cares.
400+ total yards for Robinson? Holy crap.
How big is that dude that just scored for Notre Dame? He's huge!
That ND-MICH game was awesome. Robinson is a damn good player. Wow, what a game.

Is it just me or is it weird watching a QB with dreads?
(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_C8v6M7NC21Q/RsoI8wGxDUI/AAAAAAAAE7o/2RVEA3aYHHs/s400/michaelvick.jpg)
I'm talking dreads that hang to the shoulder blades. I wouldn't know Vick had dreads unless he took his helmet off.
they didnt go to his shoulders but you could see vicks in college and in atlanta at certain pts but i know what you are saying
youll probbaly never come a across one and if you did wouldnt watch but if you ever a see a meac game you might see dreads...or a swac game...by no means a lot but a good amount of qbs at small southern schools have dreads
To me, it's not smart football to be a QB and have super long dreads. It's just giving a DE something else to grab onto while standing in the pocket.
Oregon running away with it now.
Perhaps Tennessee needs to start worrying about football and less about how to properly take showers.
A thumping in Tennessee... now 48-13, Ducks.
how great is it this year that the sat nite prime time regional game you normally wouldnt get is now on espn2 for all to see

2 more years in the mac for temple
hopefully this doesnt include having to play their zesty basketball teams
man did russell wilson look like a pro qb last night...his arm is insane and he throws such a nice ball..if he can be more consistent and progress like his taklent says he should he is going to play and play well at the next level...hes got the whole package
I may have to get to some NCSU games this year. Last night I learned...
1. Russell Wilson is actually good.
2. Cincinnati is pretty bad.
3. Vidal Hazelton plays for Cinci but is already hurt. (When did he transfer?)
Vidal should have listened to his dad

The most crazy Duke fans still often forget that they have a football team. No doubt that video is real.
actual game time footage of the fans in the stannds.
I can't believe the school would release a video that tells people that tickets are necessary to enter a stadium and has to use a map to show where the stadium is located.
Mallet leads Arkansas right down the field for the go ahead score. 3 plays - TD.
WTF with Michigan? Was the game that close?

Jaiquawn Jarrett was a beast again. Great win. And more than 5000 people showed up at the Linc....
I can't wait until next week. Temple is going to kill little overrated PSU. Overrated both athletically and academically. It's going to be fun watching Big Al and Temple roll into their stadium and send those spoiled bros who's parents paid for their education home with a reality check that Temple is THEBIGTEAM in PA.
lol
This year is basically Temple's best chance. Still not happening, though.
kent state is better than temple

Yep, poor decision.
Holy shtein that game ended at what, 2:30 am EST? I can't remember this many games on after 8 pm Hawaii time. Payback tomorrow as we need to be at the sportsbar by 6:30 am to score a good tv as there are 9 games that kickoff at 7 am including the Steelers who have a huge following here.
Yes, ~2:30 is when it should have ended. I turned off the TV at 41-7 in the 2nd qtr though.

FOOTBALL TRUTHS
It's that time of the year and we need to remember a few things about some of our more famous college football teams.
(1) What does the average Univ. of Florida player get on his SATs?
Answer: Drool.
(2) What do you get when you put 32 West Virginia cheerleaders in one room?
Answer: A full set of teeth.
(3) How do you get a Nebraska cheerleader into your dorm room?
Answer: Grease her hips and push.
(4) How do you get an Ohio State graduate off your porch?
Answer: Pay him for the pizza.
(5) How do you know if an Alabama football player has a girlfriend?
Answer: There is tobacco spit on both sides of his pickup truck.
(6) Why is the Kentucky football team like a possum?
Answer: Because they play dead at home and get killed on the road.
(7) What are the longest three years of a Texas Longhorn football player's life?
Answer: His freshman year.
(8) How many Texas A&M freshmen does it take to change a light bulb?
Answer: None. That's a sophomore course.
(9) Where was O. J. Headed in the white Bronco?
Answer: Durham, North Carolina. He knew that the police would never look for a Heisman Trophy winner at Duke.
(10) How do you keep an Florida State University football player out of your front yard?
Answer: Erect a goal post!
AND FINALLY (drum roll and cymbal clash)....!
(11) Why did the University of Tennessee choose orange as their team color?
Answer: You can wear it to the game on Saturday, hunting on Sunday, and picking up trash along the highways the rest of the week.

I'm not too amped up about it. PSU loses to Iowa at home in a good year. This is a down year and they're in Iowa City. Not good.
the penn state game is just so so but its still penn state and combined with those two other ridiculous games the 8pm slot becomes huge
Going to the VT/NCSU game tomorrow. I'll be the one in a Chooch road jersey.
good game between Illinois and Ohio state on Big ten network. 17-10 OSU in the 4th.

think about that
it was actually a pretty good game. and brown is pretty nasty..plus the temple cheerleaders were halfway decent so that was nice.

How small is Penn State? What a bunch of losers. I love how they refuse to adapt to real college football and continue to run this slop offense out there and always get killed by real teams. I mean, they usually can beat good Big 10 teams, but they can't even do that now. They are lucky Heisman Pierce got hurt, or else they wouldn't even be ranked right now.
Oh, and farg their spoiled ass alumni too.
LaMichael James.
Wow.

LSU-FLA game is exciting.
I don't know how FLA did not know that the idiot Les Miles was going to call a fake FG there. 53yd attempt and LSU calls a timeout right before.
They ran a Koy/Akers like flip behind the head type deal. The ball bounced and the kicker picked it up and still ran for a 1st down.
They are reviewing it to see if it was a forward lateral - looked like a good pitch to me.
Unreal finish
LSU is going to win.
Urban Meyer looks like he's about to pass a hundred kidney stones

Except that all the experts say that Boise and TCU don't have enough on their schedule to have a snowball's chance in hell of getting into the title game. But yes, that it what it would look like in early October. Nice find.
even if they are the only 0 loss teams?
Yes.

Yeah, they're only favored by 38. Should be a barn burner.
the seminoles lost to nc state last night further cementing my contention that god, indeed, hates me.
You're partially right. God hates all Florida State fans. P.S. The Wolfpack are awful and you should be ashamed.

Just saw that. They play Utah in two weeks. The Utes will be looking to make a statement.
beating notre dame is not a statement....its even old news for navy who has beaten them three years in a row

I forgot about the showdown with TCU.
someone on a message board:
QuoteGood thing for Temple is that BC and Miami are pushing the ACC brass real hard on adding the owls. BC and Miami felt Temple was a wonderful affiliate in the past and are doing what they can to put Temple back on their schedule. Expect Temple in the ACC by 2012.
im taking this as fact.
it would be laughable if they were talking about temple basketball.....its preposterous when talking about temple football
on a scale of 1 to 10 how much do bc and miami value: a. recruiting in philly and having a showcase game every other year, b. adding a crappy team to the acc they can beat every year, c. giving their ny/dc/philly alumni a game to go to
i say a -13
football from delaware to maine is horrible and philly in particular is even worse....why do you think maryland rutgers penn state pitt syracuse and bc all suck
because the black guys are playing basketball instead
There's actually a couple Delaware kids that could be on NFL rosters next year. Derrell Smith probably having the best chance.
big east officially going to 10 teams
probably tcu and ucf or east carolina...maybe nova if they want it
temple is 300th on their list
lol
nothing says "Big East" like TCU and Houston
neither one will accept anyway (they want the Big XII spots vacated by Nebraska and Colorado)
TEMPLE TEMPLE TEMPLE TEMPLE
Nothing says "guaranteed BCS bid" like Temple.
At a meeting Tuesday in Philadelphia, Big East presidents unanimously voted to expand their football league from eight to 10 schools.
The first candidate to join the league is Villanova, which was informally invited in September. The school is in the midst of its own fact-finding and is expected to give the Big East an answer around the end of the year.
If Villanova decides not to move up from the Football Championship Series, the former I-AA, Temple could be a candidate to rejoin the Big East football league. Villanova won the FCS national title in 2009.
In a statement, the Big East said it unanimously "approved the process to evaluate the terms and conditions for potential expansion candidates."
"Today, our board of directors affirmed a set of key strategic initiatives, including expansion, designed to enhance membership stability and maximize our value," said Big East commissioner John Marinatto.
TCU, currently ranked fourth in the AP poll and third in the current BCS standings, would be a top Big East target. The New York Post reported that TCU was interested in a Big East overture. Others mentioned as possibilities include Houston, Central Florida, East Carolina and Memphis.
you gotta read the temple board, insane hatred/bitterness/jealousy towards nova going on. for some reason they despise nova and this is just setting them off...nova being picked ahead of them. its really sad.
looks like they will take it and even if they dont temple is still a bit down the line. big east people still fondly remember temple blatantly not trying for 15 years and even though things have changed they clearly dont trust them.
thing is with nova is temple has exclusive rights to the linc and unless nova makes a too good too be true offer/an on campus stadium is built, they arent giving it up. so nova will have to play at the soccer stadium in chester....which im sure the crusty old white people will love.
its been acc or bust for us for 3 years now, at some point theyre gonna want to expand and hopefully they close the gap between bc and umd

It's not that he thought you were serious, it's just that this is the first time he's ever been able to write something and then actually back it up with viable source......and that probably excited him.
Toddy, you know that feeling you have right now? That feeling of "this must be what it's like to be a journalist?" Hold on to that feeling pal, because this is the best it's ever going to get for you.
wait so saying temple fans are stupid then linking a message board topic showing this = journalism
interesting.
lolol @ temple going to the acc.

So it seems more and more like some d-bag agent might have got himself paid and given the Newton family absolutely nothing.
This Michigan/Illinois game is insane. Neither team can play a lick of D. 1:51 left and it's locked up at 45.

Did you see the Oline for TCU? Good god.
tcu is legit good...like sec good
So the remaining unbeaten are:
Auburn
Oregon
TCU
Boise St
Is that correct?
yes sir
Saw Devlin play this weekend, he blew up Towson but who wouldnt. That said, he's got a hell of an arm, very accurate, and def will be a pick in the first 2 rounds

IDK if he'll go first two rounds...he's not even the top ranked senior QB....but he should def go by the 4th. If he goes in the 1st or 2nd round it's because of Flacco and his success

So I was looking at this year's bowl schedule. I know it's not a new rant or anything, but jeezus farging christ, how many bowls do we really need? There's 35 on the schedule this year and I don't even recognize maybe 5 or so of the sponsors. And they start Dec 18th and go to Jan 10. 3 full weeks of mostly meaningless bowl games. Other than the championship game, Rose Bowl, Orange Bowl and maybe the Suger Bowl and Fiesta Bowl, do players even get excited for these games anymore? I mean, do they feel an overwhelming sense of accomplishment for winning the Insight(.com) Bowl? Do they get a trophy for that crap? I bet the schools don't even display that shtein.
I'm in favor of a playoff system to begin with but my new #1 reason is just so we can get rid of these stupid, pointless, multi-million dollar corporate advertisements disguised as a football game.
Oh, and it's also been reported that Cam Newton was paid to go to Auburn.

They were on the right track by eliminating the Toronto ("International") one, then they go and add two more ("Pinstripe" at Yankee Stadium and "TicketCity" at the Cotton Bowl). Plus a bunch of sponsors changed with the new ESPN deal, so now we get Beef 'O' Brady's, uDrove, BBVA Compass and Northrop Grumman. Awesome. Can't wait for that Northern Illinois/Arkansas State matchup...

at home with a spot in the conference championship game on the line and everything goes bad. yay Temple. Pack your bags for the who-cares-it's-December-23rd Bowl
if theyre lucky they go to the humanitarian bowl in boise
also: other bowl officials and big east officials were at the game. no one was there, temple looked awful, they lost badly. mac4life.
the mac should never get more than one team per season in a bowl game

The overture came in a telephone call to Greenwood earlier in the day from Mountain West Commissioner Craig Thompson at the conference's headquarters in Colorado Springs, Colo.
"The commissioner asked the University of Hawai'i to begin discussions with the aim of the football team entering the conference as soon as possible," said Greenwood.
Oh farg, Boise and TCU are back.

lol, how half-assed can you get?
Just like Pop Warner where a majority of the fields have one goal post. When did they plan this game, Monday morning?
miami is rockin new green helmets today
Can't believe I'm watching this game from Wrigley. Started off looking like an Illini romp but it's actually a pretty good game.
i cant believe how deep the talent is in the sec...coaching in the bottom half of the league is only thing holding most of these teams back...kirk ferentz would have mississippi in the bcs title game this year
Masoli is actually having a pretty good year considering he transferred at the 11th hour.
did you see that almost brawl before the cal stanford game where the cal player popped a stanford player then stanford proceeded to kick their asses all over the field...31-0 at half....
it was just like the eagles game
love miamis helmets but their jerseys are terrible
Yea, helmets are awesome but those uniforms gotta go.
This LSU/Ole Miss game is great! Did you see that hit on the onside kick? shtein.
yeah
its easily the best game of the day
its nothing that everyone doesnt already know but the speed is outrageous when contrasted with the big ten
and forget lsu just watch mississippi and then watch even the best big ten teams and the difference is more than palpable
where you really notice the difference is in the closing speed on defense
Sorry, meant squibb kick.

Is it irony or coincidence that Pimp went to Cal?
lets wait for tomorrows game before we decide
this lsu ole miss game is LEGIT!!!!!!!!!...maybe the best game of the year
and i just found out that excessive celebration next year in cfb is not 15 yards on the kickoff but they actually bring the play back and the score doesnt count
is there a worse group of humans in the history of earth than the ncaa
maybe the tea party, but I'd assume there's some crossover there
its my favorite sport in the world but im so mad at cfb right now for these rules...that stupid celebration penalty maybe just took this game from ole miss and its so ridiculously unfair
them colored boys need to behave, dont they
Army needed a TD there. Now the Irish will march the field and go up 7-3.

it was an nd home game
indiana was the home team at fed ex vs penn state and had penn state painted in one end zone
nd elitism at its worst
the game in fedex had both end zones painted because both schools multimedia rights are owned by the same company..essentially the schools split the revenue for the game.
forget what the end zones looked like at yankee stadium..all the pre-game activities were nd centric - they even streamed their awful online pre-game show on the jumbotron for about 2 hours before kick.

night night auburn
ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm no
laws of physics say all sec cbs games must be epic
farging Auburn up by a point! Holy BCSbullshtein!
Look at all these games this year where they came back to win. If they win this, win the SEC championship, play for the National Championship we'll have Cam Newton out the ass coverage, discussion, media overload, etc.
Epic game.
its disgusting how routinely epic these games are
boise/nevada late night thriller
doug martin is gonna be a stud on the next level..that last catch and run was nasty
how the farg does he catch that with 9 seconds left?
then how the farg does the kicker push a straight up 26 yarder?
holy hell what a game
this game keeps getting better..solid day of football all around
i cant tell whether i want boise to win to be a bcs buster or nevada to win for stunning upsets sake
boise for sure..ive grown to like them over the years
sorry?
bullshtein that boise's 1 loss could get keep them out of bcs bowl now because they lost later than lsu and osu. these games are too good to see them wind up in the bcs.
no way they make a bcs game now, they lose the wac. theyre lucky if theyre playing on new years.
thats even worse
this system is horrendous. they lose a game like that because of the kicker and now they're going to what, the alamo bowl?
and even worse that that - the hipster doofus osu president is somewhere smoking a thousand dollar cigar laughing his nerdy ass off.
As long as deep down inside he knows Boise State would spank Ohio this year, then he can smoke as many dongs as he wants.
oregon still has to win @ oregon st
auburn has to win sec title in neutral field...same spot florida lost last year
there is hope for tcu
there was a halfway decent chance they woulda played in the rose bowl had boise taken care of business tonight
meanwhile les miles keeps getting gifts from the football gods and hes in great shape

this doesnt even crack the top 25 individual chokes
nothing involving boise st and nevada can. in fact in the end it could simply mean the difference between making the rose bowl or not. more than likely they werent making the title game.
and on top of that nobody will remember his name. i dont even know what it is. hes just gonna be the boise kicker. thats it. no bucker, no norwood. the boise kicker is his name.

Hawaii running back had 327 yards rushing today at New Mexico State. I think that's how many rushing yards they've had the past 5 seasons combined.
They still have a team in Hawaii?

He's actually done a good job in his three years there as SMU is playing UCF for the Conf USA title next weekend.

yea they'll get the Capital One Bowl in Orlando and face LSU or Alabama
PSU and Iowa will be in the Outback and Gator but they don't know which one yet
temple:
boise, new mexico, vegas
Humanitarian Bowl, Boises' a nice place in December.
probably none of the above
they are the 4th or 5th best mac team. if that = bowl game then i dont know
it'll be one of those three cities. Right now I have them going to Vegas to face the Utes. yea
Temple will get a bowl since there's 5 or 6 spots that can't be fulfilled, including 3 in the Pac-10. Most of the projections have Western Michigan being the only qualified team that won't get picked

Texas Christian in the Big East what is this world coming to?
It would be hilarious if they lost their automatic BCS bid prior to that.
same thing i was thinking...holy shtein, is the big east terrible or what
wait until they add temple
the fact that an aq such as the big east was considering the likes of nova and temple are more than enough proof that it should be an aq no longer
not to mention the second the sec, pac 10 or something goes to 16 tcu is out of there
and now big east hoops has 17 teams, which is just awful.

so apparently the ncaa can prove that cecil newton was shopping camron but cant prove that camron knewton about it or that auburn was a buyer....ncaa is such a joke
According to facts of the case agreed upon by Auburn University and the NCAA enforcement staff, the student-athlete's father and an owner of a scouting service worked together to actively market the student-athlete as a part of a pay-for-play scenario in return for Newton's commitment to attend college and play football. NCAA rules (Bylaw 12.3.3) do not allow individuals or entities to represent a prospective student-athlete for compensation to a school for an athletic scholarship.
In conjunction with the case, Auburn University has limited the access Newton's father has to the athletics program and Mississippi State has disassociated the involved individual.
"The conduct of Cam Newton's father and the involved individual is unacceptable and has no place in the SEC or in intercollegiate athletics," said Mike Slive, Southeastern Conference Commissioner. "The actions taken by Auburn University and Mississippi State University make it clear this behavior will not be tolerated in the SEC."
"Our members have established rules for a fair and equal recruitment of student-athletes, as well as to promote integrity in the recruiting process," said Kevin Lennon, NCAA vice president for academic and membership affairs. "In determining how a violation impacts a student-athlete's eligibility, we must consider the young person's responsibility. Based on the information available to the reinstatement staff at this time, we do not have sufficient evidence that Cam Newton or anyone from Auburn was aware of this activity, which led to his reinstatement. From a student-athlete reinstatement perspective, Auburn University met its obligation under NCAA bylaw 14.11.1. Under this threshold, the student-athlete has not participated while ineligible."
So, how did Auburn pay Cecil Newton without leaving a paper trail?
auburn is stringer bell and the boosters are preston broadus
So the boosters are underlings but live an extra season?

Did you see Zendejas as he tried to run off the field after the missed xp in OT? He was getting a ration of shtein from the crowd and stopped to talk some shtein back.
Did I hear correctly on the radio today that if South Carolina beats Auburn in the SEC Champ Game then TCU plays for the national championship? So yeah, in case anyone was wondering exactly why the NCAA didn't suspend/ban Cam Newton.....there ya go.
Pretty much.
I'm begging for SC to win so we get to see a "small school" in there.

Thirteen 6-6 teams are bowl bound? Good god.
Hawaii 10 - 3 and #23 in BCS rankings which is absolutely appalling. Guess it does pay to slap around La Tech, New Mexico State, UNLV, Army, etc.
I don't like Temple but that is disgraceful. 8-4 and no invite with all the shtein bowls that are around?
id put a 5-7 texas team before id put the disgrace pathetic joke awful mac team in
their 8-4 is slightly better than whatever texas a&m kingsville did. al golden is such a fat farging fraud. theres a reason nobody except ucla even sniffed this guy out for another job. no one wants him because he sucks.

they mean nothing and are absolutely forgettable aside from once in a blue moon games like boise st/oklahoma.
just say like hbionic that you dont like cfb and leave it at that...you will look far less dumb

love: that boise st/nevada game, sec saturday afternoon guaranteed epic
hate: everything that comes after it
also its impossible to love something where a god awful uconn team plays in a big time bowl simply based on conference affiliation. the whole system is rigged and a joke and you know it.
an 8 team playoff based on committee vote takes very little away from the regular season. all it means is that some top level teams can generally lose 1 game and still play for a title. im willing to give that up for a playoff.

My nipples just got a little hard.
In 6 years when Joe Pa dies on the sidelines? Sure.
UD getting some ESPN2 time, oh yeah
Devlin has picked it up as the game has gone on here. That WR #81 looks good for Delaware. UNH grad so any exposure they get west of Manchester, NH is good.
Nova is up big at #1 Appalachian State
Army/Navy is getting started at the Linc
Where the farg are the score updates, Ed? Army/Navy and NDSU/Eastern Washington. Let's go, bitch. I don't want to have to replace you with espn.com.
al golden, uconns coach and the montreal cfl's team coach leading candidates for miami job
i would die to see golden at the U....if they thought shannon couldnt win, watch out. you know nothing about that yet.
Army - Navy was a pretty decent game. Navy owns that ass right now.

Cam Newton wins the Heisman (Luck, James, Moore)

June Jones the savior.
ESPN reporting that MDS' boy Al Golden is expected to take th Miami job
hes there tops 3 years
miami wants national titles and al golden doesnt even know how to win mac east championships.
plus hes not a dirty ill go get anyone recruiter. they fired shannon because he didnt go into the mud. golden will play by the same rules but with even worse results cause hes a fragile little bitch. first loss or first time media/fans get on him he will cry in the corner behind his SID.
Hilarious. Florida snakes a "coach in waiting" from a top tier school, and Miami "nabs" the coach from Temple. Sad.

you loved golden like five minutes ago and had them beating penn state every time they played...now whitlock is "with you" on golden?
i smell fraud
Todd is a "what have you done for me lately" kind of guy. So, despite the fact that Temple went from being a complete pin cushion to being bowl eligible two years in a row, he still puts the blame on the coach. Because the coach is white and from Penn State, most likely.
Golden is a great choice for Miami especially considering im a Noles fan.
Well, he's no Jimbo Fisher. I'll tell you that much.

the losses to a pos ohio team and them not even bothering to show for up the miami of ohio game sent me off the golden train
when you look at the facts hes had 3 years of having competitive teams that can win. and hes beat 3 teams with winning records: nova, navy and uconn. color me impressed with that.
hes also lost every single big mac games hes been in. and he lost that bowl game to a terrible ucla team. hes a horrendous game day coach and simply never his team ready for big games. if he wasnt such a Hoyda who knows maybe they beat psu this year. his game plan and refusal to bench chester stewart were disastrous.
hes a great recruiter who took temple from nothing to a run of the mill mac team. for that he will also be a legend on north broad but i cant see how someone is going to go from blowing mac east titles to winning national titles.

Mark D'Onofrio, Temple's defensive coordinator, turned down the head coaching job and will go with Golden to Miami.
Smart move or is he an idiot?
legendary program in a bcs conference located in miami vs middle of the road mac team
if he turned down the temple job to be miami's towel boy it would have been a smart move
Very smart move, chances of Temple being better than they are now slim to none. If Miami turns it around under Golden and becomes a top 5-10 program there would be a very good chance D'Onofrio gets a much better HC gig.
this is why we need to hire mike leach
pretty sure donald trump aint gonna help get that done
so d'onofrio was ready to take the job and golden talked him out of it
then temple president ann weaver hart padlocked his office door shut and had security escort him off campus.
and thats how we do in north philly
Pitt took Miami OH's coach Haywood. The MAC is wide open again. ha
Jim Delany is surprised by the overwhelmingly negative reaction to "Leaders" and "Legends" and is considering renaming the divisions.

Maryland is forcing Friedgen into retirement and a buyout so they can hire Mike Leach
Bold move. Only problem with it is that Friedgen is a good coach.

extraordinary might be stretching it but with people just watching a guy use the job as a springboard to go to miami i bet more people than you think wanted it
but all that shows is how truly a god awful job it is in that people want it because its so bad that if you win at all there you can flip it into something good

every coach over the last 10 years who has had even a little bit of success there has jumped on to something bigger. this year...golden leaves for the u, the maimi of ohio guy goes i think for pitt and the northern illinois guy leaves for minnesota.
only guy to hang around is frank solich at ohio and thats cause he already crashed and burned at nebraska and nobody is going to give him a second chance.
but you and people of your ilk love college football the way it is and want to see to 350 awful bowl games so why would you even complain
temple is different because they are so bad that a coach who stinks goes there does ok and gets the miami job
you can win at northern illinois or ohio and not be looked at as a good coach...but win at temple and you must be a genius...thats how bad the program is...golden gets the miami job which is infintely better than minny and pitt

a lot of it had to do with where temple was and how laughably bad they were. golden got so many puff pieces written about him about how awful the program was and how amazing he was for turning it around.
meanwhile nevada has 0 football success and that old dude took over and within what, 3 years hes epicially beating boise and winning the wac (which is light years ahead of the mac). but hes in nevada and no one gives a shtein. golden is in philly and its news. and he didnt even win the mac or beat anybody. he couldnt even win the mac east.
but he played the game right and conned his way into a good job. this new guy wont be able to jump to miami, but if he wins he can go to rutgers or syracuse or something within 3-4 years.
can anyone explain to me how it makes any sense whatsoever that these ohio state suspended players get to play in the bowl
pretty $ure E$PN and rating$ had $omething to do with it
thats why they did it...but how is it at all explained...i could see if they wanted them in the bowl and didnt suspend them at all...but to give them a huge suspension...five games imo is way much for this...but to go that far and just skip the bowl game...have they said how that is justified?

wow @ today's games
first Army wins a bowl game for the first time since the mid 80s, then Kansas State gets screwed out of a tie because they were flagged for celebrating too much on a tying TD, then the last 2 minutes of this UNC/Tennessee game has been crazy w/ flags, reviews, time running out, time not running out, OT....
and there's still another game coming up with a few 1st-rd picks (Jake Locker, Prince Amukamara)
That Army win was cool and it was at SMU. Nebraska looks like shtein right now against Washington.
Nebraska looked a lot like the birds did on Tuesday night, no one gave a shtein.
Still can't believe that Kansas St. player was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct for saluting the crowd after he scored. Unbelievable.
Holy shtein! Watching this replay of the Music City Bowl. What a total collapse by Tennessee. 3 personal fouls at the end of the 4th and start of OT. Should have been 4 with a blatant late hit on that game tying drive by NC.
miami either is throwing this game or completely given up...either way its a tragedy what they are doing
Yeah this game is an abortion.
I am seriously making a forune on that abortion. I'm sure there's historical parallels but I'm too drunk to try and draw them.
shtein
alFRAUD golden will fix all of this...youll see
Lattimore out is huge. Also I see that Rome's favorite restaurant owner S. Truett Cathy has handed the reigns to his son.
florida states defensive speed...really their overall speed is much bigger than i thought it would be...sc oline looks like its standing still
Correct igy. Seminoles have some incredible athletes. This speed is frightening.
SC could have won that game fairly easily even without Lattimore if Garcia had made any effort whatsoever to protect the ball. I give the Cocks defense a lot of credit for forcing so many field goals.

dude's making a comeback, though. damn, nice play there.

Watching Wisconsin in the last 6 1/2 minutes brought me back to the McNabb/Reid era. Burned timeouts? Check. Dawdling around and huddling, making the entire game ride on the 2pt conversion... All so familiar.
How true. Watching the replay on ESPNU. And what was with Gary Patterson calling off the Gatorade bath? Waiting for the day when a coach turns around and clocks one off his own players.

TMQ says this better than I could:
QuoteOnly the NCAA Could Think One Person Is "Themselves" In the Kansas State-Syracuse bowl game, Adrian Hilburn scored a touchdown with a minute remaining to pull Kansas State to within two points. Hilburn briefly saluted the Kansas State cheering section behind that end zone where he scored; zebras called that unsportsmanlike conduct, marching the Wildcats' 2-point try back to the 18. Syracuse stopped the deuce and won. Thus the penalty essentially handed the inaugural New Era Pinstripe Bowl to Syracuse. The game was being played in New York City, see? Syracuse is a New York team, see? The mob put the fix in to make sure the New York team won, see? The whole game was fixed by the mob, see?
There you go, tabloids -- "ESPN says game was 'fixed by the mob.'" Obviously I don't mean this. The trouble is, it's a better explanation than that NCAA officials think a three-second salute by a guy who just scored a touchdown is a reason to throw a flag that in effect awards the game to the other team.
TMQ hates the celebration penalty. As long as there is no taunting, and there was none by Kansas State, why shouldn't players dance happily after a touchdown? Nearly all football fans, players and coaches hate the celebration penalty -- why does it exist? The current NCAA stance seems to be that football players not graduating is a minor matter, athletes who break rules will be overlooked whenever bowl revenue is involved, but don't you dare act happy! Especially bizarre is the NCAA notion that celebration fouls should be a "point of emphasis." Punishing players for jumping around happily is a point of emphasis, while helmet-to-helmet hits are rarely flagged? Even considering the NCAA's reputation for hypocrisy, this is a bit much. The celebration rule (at the high school and NFL levels, too) needs a serious revamping.
After the game, referee Todd Geerlings said the penalty was justified because officials judged Hilburn "to be drawing attention to themselves, and that's what the flag was for." Set aside that your kindergarten teacher would flunk that sentence. Here's the NCAA rule: Unsportsmanlike celebration is "Any delayed, excessive, prolonged or choreographed act by which a player attempts to focus attention on himself (or themselves)." What Hilburn did was not delayed, excessive, prolonged or choreographed -- although he did draw attention to himself. The rule doesn't forbid drawing attention to yourself. It forbids "any delayed, excessive, prolonged or choreographed act." Hilburn did not violate the wording of the rule. Even an NCAA official who doesn't know the difference between "himself" and "themselves" should understand the wording of rules.
Along comes the next bowl, North Carolina at Tennessee. On one Volunteers touchdown, the receiver did a choreographed dance as a teammate leapfrogged him; on another, the receiver danced elaborately, then a teammate lifted him into the air. No flag in either case. Rules are supposed to be consistent. The NCAA celebration rule seems enforced entirely according to the whim of whoever is working the game.
Reader Chris Gillard of Atlanta adds that "drawing attention" happens constantly in football and is almost never flagged: "If celebration is bad, shouldn't there be an excessive celebration penalty for the defensive player who gets a sack and then runs 10 yards jumping around, thumping his chest and gesturing to the fans?" I watched the South Carolina-Florida State second half with this in mind, and counted 14 instances of a player who had just made a sack or big tackle or had a big gain dancing wildly on the field, flexing his biceps, chest-bumping with a teammate or doing a bit or choreography. No flags. How come celebrating a touchdown is a grievous offense but celebrating a tackle is unregulated? Fix this embarrassing rule.
And did not the Tennessee quarterback do a slit throat gesture all be it a "mild" one after one of his touchdowns? NCAA, what a load of bullshtein.

maybe he knows he's gonna have to give it back in 3 years, but newtons excitement level after the fg wasnt nearly where it should have been for a kid who led his school to its first championship in 53 years..
and bama being 4th is off the charts ridiculous
Was he beat up? He looked like he was in pain near the end of the game. Looked like he was inflicting more pain on the Ducks as he was bigger than most of Oregon's defensive personnel.

Very true, but the SEC East was not very good at all. If Matt McGloin didn't suck, they would have recorded zero bowl victories.

Didn't Feva go to Michigan? He could be approaching the top of their list of candidates.
hed be an improvement over brody hake
Under the current rules there was no doubt the title game was right
But the current roles are horrendous and oregon and auburn should actually have to show they are better than tcu, ohio st, boise, etc.
No one wants to see this debated again. Shut up.
i dont want to debate it i just found it funny that the lil guy agreed that tcu is just another middle of the pack sec team yet all season was using them as a reason why the system sucks

Score another victory for the BCS (http://www.realclearsports.com/articles/2011/01/12/another_near-perfect_season_for_bcs_97186.html)
brilliant piece and it all sounds so familiar....
Quote
However, those who implemented the BCS couldn't have anticipated its effect on college football's already extraordinary regular season. In the past, fans in the South or Midwest didn't particularly care whether Oregon beat Oregon State, and fans in the Midwest or West didn't much care whether Auburn beat Alabama. Under the BCS, that has changed profoundly, as fans of teams in one region are now glued to games in other regions. As Bill Plaschke of the Los Angeles Times writes, the BCS has "transformed the sport from a Saturday afternoon cookout to a national obsession."
What other sports' regular season could justly be characterized as a "national obsession"? The NFL regular season is widely watched, to be sure, but with the same intensity? Good NFL teams' starters often don't even play in their final game or two. And is anyone obsessed with the four months of quasi-exhibition games that predate college basketball's season-ending tournament?
Let's quickly recap this splendid college football season. Oregon overcame a 21-3 deficit to beat Stanford in a game that - as was clear by season's end - decided which of those teams would play for the national championship. At Alabama, Auburn rallied from a 24-0 deficit to win 28-27 and eventually join the Ducks in the title game. And Nevada rebounded from a 24-7 deficit to upset Boise State in overtime, knocking the Broncos from the ranks of the unbeaten and ending their Cinderella run. If college football had a playoff, these dramatic games would merely have tweaked teams' playoff seedings.
Undefeated TCU became the first team from a non-major conference to play in the Rose Bowl since, well, ever - beating the Big Ten's bruising Wisconsin Badgers, 21-19, to claim a title that the Horned Frogs' players will carry with them for the rest of their lives: "Rose Bowl champions." The game marked the seventh time in seven years that a team from a lesser-known conference has played in one of the major bowls (now called "BCS bowls.") To put that into perspective, prior to the BCS no such team had played in such a bowl since Air Force played in the 1971 Sugar Bowl.
In impressive performances, Alabama dominated Big Ten co-champion Michigan State, 49-7, in the Capital One Bowl, and Stanford dominated Atlantic Coast Conference champion Virginia Tech, 40-12, in the Orange Bowl. Then, in the BCS National Championship Game, undefeated Auburn (which had beaten Alabama) beat previously undefeated Oregon (which had beaten Stanford), 22-19, on a field goal on the season's final play.
With the best regular season in all of sports, a championship game that's more - not less - likely to feature the two best teams, and a full slate of colorful bowl games attended by participating teams' real fans (who have enough advanced notice to plan such trips over the holidays), college football is nearly perfect. The sport may confound the casual fan, but those who love it increasingly recognize the truth of this claim: This is college football's golden age.
yes lets point to 3 games played between the 2 best teams in their respective conferences as justification for this joke and insult of a system
then lets pander and pat the little kids in tcu on the head and say he guys you got to go to the rose bowl! good for you! its not a national title but its a game against a crappy big 10 team from wisconsin! fun!
then take us through a pack of horrible bowl games where tops 1 or 2 were noteworthy.
you do realize these games could simply be replicated during a 6 or 8 team playoff while still having nearly the same meaning during the regular season. i dont know. stubborn white people do as they do, dont they, michael.

False.
yea instead of needing 0 losses to play for the title you can slip up once and still get in
massive change
go through past years top 10s...more often than they are entirely 0 and 1 loss teams. meaning those are the squads that would generally get into the tourney. meaning the regular season is still important and not watered down ala college hoops.
in fact take a look at cubans post on how horrendous non conference regular season is....its staggeringly bad and everyone ignores this in their defense of the bcs and regular season. none of these teams challenge themselves outside of their own conferences and really only the sec has a leg to stand on in that mindset. the pac 10 blows outside of 2-3 teams, the big 10 is a farce except for ohio st, etc.

wow is cuban a moron....lets compare college football to boxing...makes perfect sense
also cfb generally breaks down like this
12 games
9 conf
3 ooc
so if you take the bcs teams who all for the most part have tough conference schedules (big east is the exception) that leaves three games which to work with
heres a breakdown of the top 20 aq schools ooc skeds against other aq's
auburn - clemson
oregon - tennessee
ohio state - miami
oklahoma - fla state (air force)
lsu - north carolina, west virginia
bama - penn state
arkansas - tex am
okie state - tex am
mich state - notre dame
miss state - none
vt - none ( boise state)
fla state - oklahoma, florida
mississippi - illinois
tex am - okie state, arkansas
nebraska - wash
so they all schedule at least one other bcs opponent..some schedle two...which means btwn 33 and 66% of their ooc opponents are quality bcs teams...absolutely nothing wrong with that and probably a higher % than cbb where you can lose ten times and win the national championship
stop comparing hoops to football
its two separate entities
this is just an endless debate that is going nowhere but for the love of god please dont consider the big 10 or acc or even mostly the pac 10 a tough conference with tough schedules

its a good thing the sugar bowl ceo got this money....same with the bowl scouts. couldnt do it without the hard work of those guys.
i got my money too.... won third place in the bowl pool this year....does that count?
no it doesnt
you can still make your money even if there is a 6 or 8 team playoff because there will always be bowls. they cant.
I don't understand why you can't muster more appreciation for the BCS. It's way better than the previous bowl system.
QuoteSpencer Reid, the youngest of Eagles coach Andy Reid's five children, has given a verbal commitment to play football at Temple.
Reid, a 5-10, 205-pound running back who also played defense, spent his senior season at Harriton High School after transferring from St. Joseph's Prep.
He also was being recruited by Delaware.
sweet, sweet nepotism
I met him at camp last year. He's the 'good one'.
Wouldn't it be nepotism if he was signed by the Eagles? Pretty sure Reid doesn't coach Temple.
eagles done a lot of favors for temple over the years
now they get them back
They better check his rectum for balloons.
temples party scene just got better by ten fold
well on the bright side he wont have to walk too far from his dorm to buy some oxy

Interesting article on the ESPN 150, seems like most of the guys didn't really pan out.
I only read the first 2 pages, but I'd imagine that the numbers are pretty similar (percentage wise) as when college stars get drafted into the NFL.
Probably
great conversation gentlemen.
I actually had some other thoughts, but I was too lazy to type them.
espn couldnt find anything better than miami/maryland for its labor day night game
what backroom deal forced them to go with maryland?
Edsall fever.
md +3.5 please
ahhh ive figured it out
espn and the acc just signed a 12 year deal and this is a byproduct of that
game is at maryland, too
uh oh goes alfraud golden
hearing more good things about a notre dame/temple series beginning in 2013
would be a 2/1 and looking like its gonna go down
also psu/temple picks back up in 2014 so for 2 years temple will play both psu and notre dame and get them at home in back to back years
holla
You are excited to add four more high profile losses to the schedule?
i dont think notre dame or penn state are high profile to anyone but temple
Very true. We're talking in relative terms here.
temples normal ooc games are against uconn, maryland and rutgers
not exactly big time teams there
the fact that they can get psu and nd to agree to 2 for 1s to big...for temple
it has nothing to do with temple...its a game that allows their players to play in an nfl stadium...its a recruiting tool as well as a reward for their fanbases as it gives them a chance to see a game without going to middle america to do it
theres probably more nd fans in jersey than in indiana
if temple is in virginia neither play them EVER
oh i know nd is and to a certain extent psu are using temple for the 1 game nfl stadium deal and recruiting in philly thing
but 10 years ago nd wasnt giving them a home game and probably wouldnt even play them
of course nd is a farcical joke but that isnt the point. temple!
Quote from: MDS on February 16, 2011, 11:59:11 AM
but 10 years ago nd wasnt giving them a home game and probably wouldnt even play them
meaningless...they didnt play in the linc ten years ago....there is not a chance ever that temple gets psu or nd at "home" if not for the stadium...and not nd at all...psu played them because they are in philly
im actually surprised that nd was willing to play on campus at rutgers
Actually, they didn't. It's all a big conspiracy. That game was filmed at a soundstage in LA.
its just like a road conference game to them...no different than psu playing at purdue every other year...but what surprises me is that they didnt play at the meadowlands
so youre telling me nd wasnt down for playing at the vet?
and i think this has slightly less to do with playing in a cookie cutter nfl stadium and more with appeasing east coast nd fans and recruiting. im guessing the nyc people like the sound of a 90 minute drive to philly rather than 3 hr drive to fedex or bodymore.
in fact im pretty sure nd has 1 east coast game a year and this was simply the best they could do for 2014.
no they didnt want the vet when they could play in the meadowlands...and now with the new meadowlands up i wouldnt be surprised if this is the last time they play in the linc
oh no doubt....its not still 100% official and theres of course a good chance they could set up a made for tv game at the meadowlands instead of playing temple
but then they wouldnt get free home wins in 13 and 15...so you tell me brian kelly.

Jim Tressel knew about the memorabilia sale by Pryor and others.
QuoteIf Tressel failed to inform Smith or the Ohio State compliance department about the players' dealings with Rife, he could be charged with multiple NCAA violations including unethical conduct, failure to monitor and a failure to promote an atmosphere of compliance. In general, a coach is required to act on, or pass along reasonable information about possible rule violations for further investigation.
Section 4.1(d) of Tressel's contract with Ohio State stipulates that he "supervise and take appropriate steps to ensure ... members of the Team know, recognize and comply with any such laws, University Rules and Governing Athletic Rules and immediately report to the (Athletic) Director and to the (Athletic) Department's Office of Compliance Services in writing if any person or entity, including without limitation, representatives of Ohio State's athletic interests, has violated or is likely to violate any such laws, University Rules and Governing Athletic Rules."
Section 5.1 (m) of his contract also states that failure to promptly report "any violations" could lead to "termination by Ohio State for cause."
I think this is bullshtein (the NCAA regulating sales and things like this) but it appears that if this is all true the Coach Sweatervest could be in some deep shtein.
they could put his sweater on an urban outfitters manaquin next year and theyd still outcoach penn state
Unnecessary comment, fargface.
QuoteIf there is an NFL lockout, do you think it will positively affect Temple football? With no NFL games, will the football starved Philly fans come to Temple games for their football fix?

QuotePenalties called after the player crosses the goal line still will be assessed on those plays, but live-ball fouls will be assessed at the spot of the foul and eliminate the score.
Whether or not you like or dislike the taunting penalty is one thing, but this rule makes sense. Taunt before the endzone and the penalty is enforced at the spot of the foul just the same as say a facemask or illegal block would be.
The NCAA is entireley too anal about what it considers taunting, but that's neither here nor there in regards to this particular rule change.
just wait until a game is decided because one ref determined that some act was a taunt when the same thing happened a week earlier and it wasnt called
a hold is a hold a facemask is a facemask. taunting is sort of you know it when you see it and everyone has their only little trigger for that.
I agree...but your problem is with the taunting rule itself. As for this new rule, it's hard to argue against the logic behind it.
im getting real tired of AD's like central arkansas' who are only trying to make a name for themselves by changing the turf on its field. gdammit, footbal is played on green grass or green fake grass. thats it.
What about Boise St? They've had that blue field for like 20+ years now, right?
boise state was the OG....i think die hard is talking about these awful followers
boise is blue, eastern wash is blood red, now this.
all it is are AD's trying to get their schools on tv. worked for boise, worked for esu..
umass to the mac in 2012
most likely they agreed to the move because temple is going to be in there for awhile
if delaware grows a pair of balls, maybe we can form some kind of reject east coast conference, maybe even getting nova by letting them use the soccer stadium in chester (which appears to be the deal breaker for them in the big east). add in buffalo and some random ass florida schools and have some fun.
so you want to make the big east even worse than it already is? also, im not even sure i knew umass had football.
lol
i want to make a worse version of the big east. no one will leave a decent conference for my pretend conference, so its all about getting east coast AA schools to move up and stealing teams from the sun belt and mac.
its basically instead of playing toledo and direction michigan schools, wed play umass, delaware, nova, non conference games against navy and army, etc. i dont know, it would be football only and we wouldnt have to fly to shteinholes like ypsilanti and bowling green.
i think what you really mean is that temple should move down and join the a-10.....that actually makes sense unlike whatever you are babbling about
that would make a lot of sense, but they already had their shot to move down and didnt do it
so here we are, making up pretend horrible conferences

Always wondered how they got kids to go there. Most of the violations were against the tennis team but footbal program was also guilty of several infractions.
Justice Dept wants to know why there isn't an NCAA FB playoff system (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=6479279)
QuoteWASHINGTON -- The Justice Department wants to know why the NCAA doesn't have a college football playoff system and says there are "serious questions" about whether the current format to determine a national champion complies with antitrust laws.
Ok, so even though I'm totally in favor of a playoff system, this doesn't seem like something that the feds need to be getting involved with at this point. Smaller schools who have shown the ability to compete with the big boys are getting BCS bowl bids. And typically at most, you've got like 2 maybe 3 schools getting ranked in the top 25 that have legit BCS bowl aspirations. Seems like a witch hunt to me. The gov't needs to find another way to waste my tax dollars.
Time to send in Special Ops and storm the NCAA Compound.
Agree, waste my tax dollars on something else.
