Tressel resigns
The hypocrisy of College FootballTM never ceases to amaze me.
That said, farg Ohio State.
He got out before the shtein hit the fan
I was talking recently to a person who knows the NCAA basketball scene intimately well. I asked her what she thought of AAU, whether she thought it was shady and corrupt. No moreso than NCAA, she said. By which she meant, dirty as slave traders.
F NCAA Football.
Pay the players.
SI.com says the shtein's deeper (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/magazine/05/30/jim.tressel/index.html)
At least 28 players since 2002, some trading memorabilia for marijuana. It also says Pryor has had at least 8 vehicles in his 3 years there, Tressel as an assistant in the 80s would rig raffles so the top recruits would win the prizes, and he set up jobs for 13 players at Phar-Mor while at Youngstown State, they were paid illegally, and the star player was given a car and $10K
Ohio State is going to claim that this was all Tressel's fault so they can be spared further punishment
im not reading that because i dont give a shtein
the media really needs to stop. no one is losing sleep over college kids selling rings or getting money to play. and if they are then theyre a hypocritical piece of shtein and farg them.
wow so jim tressel moved some things around and gave his stars money so he could win football games. big whoop. him and every other major coach in the country.
callipari is a head coach and tressel is not...thats all you need to know about the joke that the ncaa is
shut up
what a terrific reporting job by SI. college sports is now clean. young athletic black man are being paid $0 just like their ancestors. good times ahead.
I'm surprised it took you guys this long to make it about race. Slackers.
there are no parallels between the ncaa and slavery and indentured servitude. none. zero.
lol what?
big strong negros workin in a field makin millions for white men
Yep, thats the only race playing for free, The white players get the cash! oh and the Asians, can't forget Chris Gocong
i know it's hip to be on the "pay the atheletes" bandwagon. while it's fine to want to pay football and basketball players because their sports bring in millions, where are you getting the money to pay the farging girl's softball team?
title ix farged it all up..

dont
title ix is outdated and its served its purpose.
the conferences banding together to remove themselves from the ncaas shackles and getting their on tv deals turned cfb and cbb into big money operations. its disgusting how much cash is changing hands among various middle aged white dudes while kids (mostly poor and mostly black) put their bodies on their line. then, at the end of the day, they dont see a dime.
the ncaa was all well in good in 1960 when there wasnt any mass recruiting. everyone stuck to their areas. little to no tv exposure. college was a community and state thing. now its too big and winning is too important.
game needs to change NOW. revolution time.
Free education IS paying the athletes. I agree that pay to play shtein is overblown and that some of the pretense should be stripped if we're really going to talk about what's fair, but to act like scholarship athletes aren't getting something of serious monetary value out of the deal is farging stupid. Stop being stupid, stupid.
a lot of the guys coming in, and were talking football and basketball here, dont have the ability to handle a college eduction and college curriculum. they either were never educated enough in their local schools or are simply too immature and too stupid to process everything.
a lot of the times its on the system, sometimes its of their own doing. but when its on the system, where they are told by every single solitary human being they know that they are destined for the nfl or nba and big money, then when they get to lsu or unc or whatever they quickly find out there are a lot of people better than them. then what? can they just shrug that off, get their degree and go into another line of work?
no. they cant. they dont have the ability because they were never taught how. so they either transfer somewhere else where they can play or stay and never play or just quit. either way they finish playing and are cast off back to their hometowns with their dick in their hands and no useful or tangible talents to contribute to society.
but guess what. you watched them on tv. you paid to go to their games. their bosses got money. school got money. coach got paid. president and ceo of the bowl games got his cut. and what did you get? a bunch of classes that meant nothing to you that you knew didnt matter? sounds like a fair deal.
meanwhile, even if you think the college education alone is a fair deal, a lot of these kids are farging poor as hell. how they hell are they supposed to get walk around money? not even buy a handle and some pot walk around money, but let me take this girl out or let me go buy some snacks or a microwave kind of money. on scholarship they get 3 meals a day from the school. man people get hungrier than that sometimes. sometimes they dont want to eat at the school. maybe they want to go to macdonalds or a nice joint in the city. but they dont have time for a job because they need to learn their playbook and get in the gym so the team can go 12-0 and everyone else can get paid but them.
I'm not arguing that these kids are well prepared to utilize what they are given, but they aren't prepared to utilize money either. If you're argument is that the system failed them and their education is useless, I tend to agree. But you also have to concede that money is useless to a person who is utterly uneducated on how to properly live on it. The players are getting something of real value something that others would give a lot to have, period. In that manner they are paid. Just like they are paid in actual currency in the NBA (or wherever). The tragedy isn't that they don't get paid in college. The tragedy is that they ARE paid and aren't given the tools to take advantage because the system doesn't care about making them successful human beings.
i wish someone would have given me a 100,000 dollar education for putting a ball through a hoop.
farging clowns.
obviously that is true, too
but we cant really sit there and say "well, if we pay them, theyll just go out and waste it on crap so we might as well not pay them anyway."
in many cases, yes. if you pay some idiot athlete even something like $200 a week on top of his scholarship first thing hes gonna do is go buy a car and a house for ma dooks. shtein he cant really afford but hell figure its just the start before the real cash comes in 2-3 years.
they are a part of a giant money making operation. they should get a fair cut. what they do with it we really have no control over. hopefully they are properly educated in how to spend it but they were never properly educated in the first place so what the farg difference would it make.

this is essence of ignorance and why the ncaa cant be beaten
you and your kids would know what to do with that kind of education. idiot poor people do not. they cant just be taught on the drop of a hat. they cant process the information because they are stupid, poor, uncultured and uneducated. the system that allows them to be like this obviously goes beyond sports but this is how our society operates.
it cant change overnight but we can at least make some strides inbetween.
Todd, they are already being paid. They're being paid in a currency that has long term value rather than immediate value but they are being paid. You're so close to being right for once but you're refusing to acknowledge a very salient point which is not surprising but horribly irritating.
but they what are being "paid" with is canadian money or wooden nickles.
its worthless to most of them.
As is money, ultimately. The point you're trying make applies to all forms of compensation and speaks to a deeper problem.
of course it does
but its not a problem the ncaa should be solving. its not their issue or their concern. give their employees a fair cut. what they do with it is what they do with it.
Treating the symptom instead of the cause is pointless and self indulgent. Paying players in cash in addition to their free education makes us feel better about the hypocrisy without fixing anything. It's is lazy an stupid approach to the problem.
maybe it is. but it at least gives them something. it gives them a cut of the pie that they are blocked from having now. the money is out there. either everyone gets some of it or it just goes to the rich white dudes. hmmmm. which way is fair.
here's the crux of the matter...from whitlocks column
QuoteWhy does the story keep getting framed around the people? Why do we keep demonizing the people rather than rules that NCAA architect Walter Byers chastised in his 1995 book, "Unsportsmanlike Conduct: Exploiting the Student-Athlete?"
"Today the NCAA Presidents Commission," Byers wrote, "is preoccupied with tightening a few loose bolts in a worn machine, firmly committed to the neo-plantation belief that enormous proceeds from college games belong to the overseers (administrators) and supervisors (coaches). The plantation workers performing in the arena may only receive those benefits authorized by the overseers."
the game is rigged. too much money is exchanging hands and the compensation of a degree has proven to be valueless. so what do we do? we cant go back in time and fix the socioeconomical problems, can we?
It is absolutely impossible to have any fairness across the board in college sports. Some kids get to go to school for free because they can put a ball through a hoop. People see that as stupid. A lot of other kids don't get full scholarships. A lot of athletes don't get scholarships at all. UC Berkeley hands out baseball scholarships that random lower level D1 schools can't afford to. The better schools get more revenue, probably have more travel money for the players, and any and all other benefits in between. Other schools don't have that. How do you determine who would get paid, and how much? What about the other sports programs? Then you'd have to go into which program is more important or valuable, and you can't do that. It'd bring up a whole other bag of issues.
Jason Whitlock is a tub thumping racist fat piece of shtein. Every farging article he spews out his ass has some retarded racial angle, and although racism is incredibly prevalent, racism does not play a part in how student athletes are compensated. Whites are treated the same as Asians who are treated the same as African-Americans who are treated the same as Latinos and blahdy-blahdy-blah.
It's about economics. Whining about athletes who aren't prepared emotionally or scholastically to survive in a college or university environment is a colossal waste of time. In short, there are bigger issues facing this country than whether some farging jock gets fair compensation for his services as an athlete.
Hell, what salad dressing I'm gonna use on my dinner salad is a more pressing issue than this nonsense.
If they don't want the farging scholarship then don't accept it. Get a farging job as a car wash attendant or sling burgers at McDonald's for a while. Trust me, do that for a year or so and then come complain about how you're mistreated as a "student-athlete".
so you have no problem with coaches, administrators and other suit and tie motherfargers abusing the system and profiting off the hard work of other people while the people actually doing the labor get nothing?
the system didnt break until your fat ass needed to watch every farging college football game on saturday. you want this product, youll pay for it and the money you pay is going into the wrong hands. but farg them idiots if they cant see the value of a good LSU edumacation amiright?

they get a college education.
although, you got a college education and you're an ignoramus of galactic proportions, so in this rare instance, i find myself agreeing with you even though every point you attempted to make is pure bullshtein.
well done, stupid. you've entertained me for once.
When did scholarships become payments?
The moment they sign the scholarship agreements.
And FTR, I'm all for providing college athletes with stipends. Hell, if an equitable system of payment could be established for all student athletes (not just the revenue producers) I'd be all for that as well.
That said, equating a student athlete scholarship with slavery is outlandishly hyperbolic and insulting to the institutions who provide them, even for these two buffoons.

going down like a stubborn republican, i like it
look, old man. i dont know how to explain this any clearer: a college education is not a sufficient payment for many of the kids who are given it because socially and mentally they are not capable of processing the information. they are under educated and under prepared and being thrown into upper level classrooms and higher education isnt going to make things work.
to ignorantly say "take you education, young poor black child and entertain me with your athletic prowess" is about as close to indentured servitude as it gets. to not recognize is...well, you.
not to mention the players that produce the most money are the least likely to finish their four years
but im sure we should all applaud the ncaa and the college presidents for diggin deep down into the bottom of their heart and offering these poor souls a college degree...because thats what its all about....definitely not the billions of dollars these kids are putting in their pockets

You've been in Mexico for so long that you must have forgot that that is exactly how every major business in this country works.
I'm not saying it's acceptable, but if I'm going to argue on someone's behalf, it's going to be the American worker who spends 40 years working in a cell/cubicle for a meager salary while the execs get caked off with multi-million dollar bonuses, not some athlete who has to suck it up for a couple of years in college before he gets to sign his multi-million dollar contract.
But like Rome said....if they can come up with a system that gives student-athletes some sort of stipend, then I'd be all for it. Since these kids aren't allowed to get jobs, then the schools should do something to make sure they've got a little pocket change from week to week.

Oh, so this is a new problem that's only been around for the last 10-15 years. That's good to know.
Quote from: Rome on May 31, 2011, 08:30:47 PM
The moment they sign the scholarship agreements.
Are math genius scholarships to be considered payment as well?
If scholarships are payments, shouldn't students be taxed on the value of the benefit?
If a scholarship is a payment, then the only amateur players on the team are the ones who don't get scholarships.
im not sure of the exact time frame because smu and all those schools were going nuts in the 70s, but it was around the 80s or early 90s when the money really started rolling into these conferences because they started controlling how they were distributed, not the ncaa.
that made recruiting a nationwide battle, not a local one. it escalated coaches salary to the point where mack brown is the highest state-paid employee in texas (even though his actual salary is covered by boosters). it gave bowl games company tie ins so the money is just flowing everywhere to everyone to except for the players. when you take a step back and realize how much it is and how much hinges on these programs continuing to win and how little these kids get out of it, its insane.

this whole thing isnt about that athlete, really. no one was crying from tebow or cam newton, guys who were gonna get caked in the nfl. its the guys who arent good enough to get drafted and the guys who at best get 1-2 years of nfl service at the minimum before they are finished. those guys get nothing out of the deal. and that is the majority of basketball and football players.
come on, join the revolution sassy. itll be fun.
Like I said....I'm all for a stipend. As for the guys who aren't going to sign big $ contracts, they may want to consider hitting the books a little harder.
what they oughta do is have different levels of stipends or whatever you wanna call it
each school gets x amount of grade I stipends that pay the most money then grade II then grade III then even a no pay slot
let the coaches determine who fits into what slots

again, most of them these kids arent capable of that. they dont know how and were never taught how. so you can just say "study, work, do good" like youre mr. feeney or something.

talk about a recipe for disaster. like players wont be fighting over who gets however much.

So are the college's to blame? or the k-12 level? Maybe we should throw some of the blame on the enviroment where most of these athletes come from, since they are not prepared for college.
players have no choice what they get the coach decides...you want more money play better....no different from any pro sport
the only negative would be that it may cause mass transfers of players who cant cut it at their current school trying to get to a lesser program to make more money...but that can easily be solved by saying anyone who transfers has their stipend frozen for two years
society is at fault. we fail so many of our own on a daily basis. most of those are poor. many are minorities who have never been given a chance for generations.
its a systematic process of failure. the wire explains all of this better than anyone else could.
the solution goes beyond college sports but at least giving the kids something, anything, tangible they can take besides a fraud of an education would be a start. it wont solve anything but even if it takes $200 million out of jim delanys trust fund and gives some chicken shacks and corner stores more money then fine. at least its going to good use.
I am by nature, not school smart. Sitting in a classroom, taking notes, reading, studying were all difficult for me. I was a B+/A- student and I had to work twice as hard as the smart kids to get my grades. Guess you could say I was a gritty student. It's all just a matter of pride really. You either take pride in your work or you don't. Saying that an athlete (especially a football player) doesn't have the ability to learn is ridiculous. Have you seen a college football playbook? They learn that, don't they? They read it, they study it, they take notes. How is that any different from any regular class. An athlete has the aptitude to learn just as much as a non-athlete, it's just a matter of how much effort they want to put into it.

meh...if you make it to college and are a student athlete you have every opportunity in the world to succeed. Tutors paid in full and teachers who will help because they know how important student athletes are to the college. It has nothing to do with society/smarts and everything to do with motivation.
except it doesnt matter how much help you get in college if you spent the first 17 years of your life in horrid schools with despicable teachers you cant then get to college and flip the easy switch to make you know stuff

If they were motivated at any point from k-12, they wouldn't have to worry about playing catch up in college. It's pride. You either care or you don't. Most athletes don't care about academics.
and this is someone who watched the wire
let me say it like this. if after 18 years of life you went somewhere where they tried to get you take digging holes really seriously. said if you dig holes well enough and try and study on hole digging you can do anything you want. but you, as someone who never valued digging holes, can never really truly give a shtein about hole digging. its just not in your value system as something important.
now replace digging holes with "school work" and youll get 95% of D1 football and basketball players. all the supposed go get em motivation in the world wont make them invest deeply in something they were never taught to care about.

Have to admit this, but IGY's spot on. I knew athletes in my college who graduated just fine from HS, but couldn't do basic math, spell, punctuate, etc. Tutoring them was like working with grade school kids, only with mouths that sounded like truck drivers when they got so pissed off because they were so stupid. But if they didn't maintain their GPA, they were off the team.

wow...no
are there some kids who come from these enviroments who arent motivated...sure there are....but no more so than the number of unmotivated kids that come from the 90210...it has nothing to do with being an athlete....these kids werent star athletes when they were already behind the 8 ball and failed by their parents...their school system their govennment or all of the above
For me, its simply the fact that my name is attached to it that makes me work hard. I don't care if it's school, athletics or digging holes in the ground. I don't even care if there's some sort of payoff at the end. If the body of work is going to be identified as mine, then I'm going to put the effort in to make sure it represents me the best way possible. That isn't intelligence. It's pride and self respect and the only person who can give that to you is yourself.
I am shockingly with Han IGY and Jewbacca on this one. The attitude towards education, and the lack of funding/skilled teachers that a lot of these children grow up with will absolutely make it pretty much impossible for them to succeed academically in college or really get anything out of it. There are of course some who fare better than others, but since these children were born they were behind their peers in education (poor children enter school 3-5 years behind where they should be, literacy wise). Couple that with the underfunded education they generally receive throughout life, and coming from areas that generally have poor attitude towards education......well, by the time they get to college on a full athletic ride, they haven't thought once about cracking a book since the time they didn't meet GPA requirements to stay on the high school football team and the high school covered it up.

If you grew up with poor black parents in the inner city, your idea of pride and self-respect would probably be a little different than the values you hold now. It comes back to parenting a lot and unfortunately there's nothing you can do about parenting.

dont think about yourself and how you were raised
think about the environments these kids are coming from. they dont have the same mindset as you did, they dont have the same values and didnt have the same upbringing.
culture raises children. its how you become who you are. and a lot of the cultures in america fail their children.
my middle class jewish one didnt. your (working class military?) didnt either. thats why we contribute to society (sort of, for me) and thats why failed college athletes dont.
It's actually got nothing to do with how I was raised. My parents never had any conversations with me about taking pride in my work. They never had too. Maybe I was just "born with it." It's not a complicated issue imo. You either care about your work or you don't. I don't understand how a person can take pride in doing one thing but not another. School, athletics, whatever....it's just one challenge after another and another opportunity for me to compete.
you were raised in an environment where education was taken seriously from the parents to the teachers. you didnt go to schools where kids bring shivs and uzis and where the textbooks are from 1955. where a day of zero violence and zero arrests is a great day.
other people were.
they only thing they can think of is hitting it rich in the pros. thats how they think theyre gonna do. look at allen iverson. no one worked harder on the court than that little dude. but lets just say he didnt work "as hard" in the classroom. why? why the farg you think.
And you know about my upbringing and where I went to school because.....??
lets just say that i know you werent raised in west baltimore or southwest philly
i know this is bball but speaking of aau check out these three squads....who is the best?

USC just stripped of 2004 National Championship. Go Reggie!
guess who still won the 2004 national championship
Quote
The BCS ruling vacated the results of the 2005 Orange Bowl -- the national title game for 2004 -- as well as the Trojans participation in the 2006 Rose Bowl, in which USC lost to Texas, 41-38, in the championship game.
As a result of the BCS's Presidential Oversight Committee ruling, there will be no BCS national champion in the record book for the 2004-05 season.
I could have sworn they did this months ago. Or was that just them taking Reggie's Heisman?
That shtein is farging stupid.
Taking away wins and championships and awards is crap.
The problem is the NCAA is so inconsistent with who they investigate and punish. We all know that damn near every D1 program cheats. Seems like they just pick a couple of big name programs every now and then, find some shady shtein, punish them and then tell everyone that they are concerned with protecting the "integrity" of college athletics. If they really policed their own and if say 90% of colleges were doing the right thing, then I'd have no problem with them taking awards, bowls or reg season wins from the ones that were caught cheating.

means absolutely nothing...their isnt a single person in the world who wont forever think of usc as the 2004 national champs....mostly because they were
this is strictly a ncaa record book thing...in fact the AP will still recognize them as the champ and the AP's champ is much more meaningful than the ncaa's

press conference at Rutgers today to announce the new name of the stadium: High Point Solutions Stadium..
right up there with the Papa Johns Center for one of the worst names of all-time.
Considering Rutgers students propensity for indulging on the lord's green, I'd say High Point is the most appropriate name ever.

Wow. Picking FSU over Alabama for a kid from Hueytown is huge.
so after tons of teasing a&m is going to the sec
mizzou, fsu or clemson will join to even the count. mizzou already did the 'who? us?' denial so it may be them. with that big 12 would be toast...oklahoma and osu would probably want to bail. farging texas screwing everything up again.
Denied. For now, not ruling them out for the future.
Most people say that's because the SEC can't really mess with their affiliation with the Big 12. If A&M pulls out of the Big 12, the SEC could then approve.

This Shapiro dude is a piece of work.
QuoteIn one instance, Shapiro described taking a player to the Pink Pony strip club and paying for a dancer to engage in sex with the athlete. In the ensuing weeks, Shapiro said the dancer called one of his security providers and informed him that the player had gotten her pregnant during the incident. Shapiro said he gave the dancer $500 to have an abortion performed, without notifying the player of the incident.
"I was doing him a favor," the booster said. "That idiot might have wanted to keep [the baby]."
And he's about as big as a leprechaun.

QuoteJOHNSTON, Iowa -- The new trophy designed for the winner of the annual Iowa-Iowa State gridiron showdown was scrapped Tuesday as organizers acknowledged it had too much to do with corn and not nearly enough to do with football.
The Cy-Hawk Trophy was redesigned this year after complaints that the old one -- a simple bronze statue of a football and a player -- was a bit dated.
With the Iowa Corn Growers Association as the new sponsor of the series between Iowa State's Cyclones and Iowa's Hawkeyes, the new trophy was drawn up as a farm family huddled around a bushel of corn. The design was a nod to the state's deep agricultural roots and, of course, corn is a primary staple around here.
It was unveiled Friday at the state fair. And everyone pretty much hated it, likening it to a garage sale leftover or something from the Precious Moments catalog. Newspaper chats, Twitter and Facebook lit up with critics, and even former Iowa coach Hayden Fry and Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad weighed in against the new design.
The reviled new Cy-Hawk trophy given to the winner of the annual Iowa-Iowa State football game has been scrapped just four days after its unveiling. Craig Floss, the CEO of the corn growers group, said the response showed the passion Iowa fans have for football.

That middle school QB from 2 years ago that Lane Kiffen tried to recruit to USC apparently led his team here in DE (Red Lion Christian) in a victory over the 20th ranked high school team in the nation.
Also, apparently this very large black man that ran my ass over in the high school playoffs 5 years ago signed with the Tampa Bay Bucs when the lockout ended as an UDFA.

Was in Bryant-Denny yesterday and it was hilarious in the 4th qtr. All the students had stopped watching the game on the field and were piling around the club boxes to see the TV for the Auburn game. The stadium wide Ut-ah-State chants that broke out when they went up 38-28 were great. Place was a morgue after the game because Auburn pulled it out though.
Geez, Marylands uni's are the ugliest pieces of crap I've ever seen.
Well they'll have everyone talking about the Terps tomorrow for sure.
Who farging approved those hot messes? I know Under Armour is their brand and paying them a shteinload but come up with something better than that!
Apparently they are going the Oregon route with a bunch of different combos.
When people bitch about uniforms it's usually an over exaggeration...but in this case it's 100% warranted.
marylands ad is the former ad here at army - i got to know him a bit, and can say he was 100% behind the approval of the god-awful things. the guy is more concerned with the now and expanding his brand than anything else, and i know he's in his office today jacking off over how much these things were talked about.

This is pretty much what Cowherd said this morning and he's spot on. He said the only people bitching about the unis are 40 yr old white dudes. But UM isn't recruiting old white dudes, they're recruiting 17/18 yr old kids who like flash and bling.
He's right too.
I was at the gym yesterday when that game came on. shtein load of teenagers and twenty somethings simultaneously uttered "What in the hell is that?" when the Terps took the field. Felt like an NFL Europe game.
Most of my students (13-14 year olds) that watched the game thought the Maryland uniforms were great.

Dammit, I get blamed for EVERYTHING.
i havent talked to a single fan of any age who thought they were anything less than atrocious and this includes lots of maryland fans
but the fact is they talked about them
and thats why they did it
no its partially why they did it.....they started a campaign almost a year ago to promote themselves to become marylands team and have everyone in the state root for them even if you arent an alumnist.....this is a big reason why they did it....the maryland flag being all over the uni wasnt to get the jerseys talked about....no one cares about the state of maryland anywhere else in the country
im pretty sure a lot of people in the state of maryland dont care about the state of maryland
there are a lot of maryland fans who liked the helmets.
they're awful.
everyone is basically trying unsuccessfully to copy Oregon's formula.
When it was all said and done Oregon was rockin the best unis this week. I have to admit I do like that white Boise helmet. Same one they wore in blue last year against VAtech.

Ahhh, college football.
Great game between Miss. St. and Auburn.
gerogia sc is the sec classic for this week....farg this game has been great
i dont know if anyone follows college football recruiting but this kid jadeveon clowney last year was one of the highest sought high school players of the last decade and one of the highest rated defensive recruits ever...andyway he picked sc over bama
he is so retarded as a true freshman right now that its sick to think what hes gonna be next year when he puts a little weight on and he will be an all pro one day in the nfl injury allowing
Agree completely on both of your last two posts. Holy shtein Clowney is straight up sick.
still early but your norilly pick is lookin good
Could go either way. I held off on pushing to a bigger bet when the line started to drop. I got my ass handed to me on the Noon games but made back a little in late games. Biggest play of the day was Stanford.
College football is already epic this year. Some great games.
i missed the first weekend being out of circulation in the mountains...but today has been pretty good...and week 2 is supposed to be "quiet"
definitely falls under the heading of getting way ahead of myself but id like to see byu pull this off vs texas and go undefeated...people talk boise and while byu probably isnt as good as they are they actually have a legit schedule if they were to run the table
and this year
with florida in transition
ohio state down
a hideous pac ten
and no dominant sec team
you might have a legit argument for a non bcs johnson to make it

its called the middle of the field and its not a bad call at all...michigan made a gutsy call and it paid off but if that ball gets tipped up in the air or the wr's bobbles and plays with it then drops or denard takes an extra couple seconds to throw it or it gets picked off then michigan loses...they executed to perfection and it worked
to act like kicking the fg would have been a horrendous call is plain wrong....but im sure you watch a lot of football
I lost money on that game, a lot by my standards. I hate Michigan.

but im telling you it aint happening today. its almost been 70 years since we beat them. its got to happen.
where the farg you Hoydas at
this would be over if adazzio wasnt a fat wop who for some reason is playing chester stewart
Happy now?

This is not good football.
temples qb play is....man i dont even have a witty analogy its so farging bad
penn st is garbage
temple played not to lose once they took a 7-0 lead and then inexplicably gave stewarts 2 quarters to suck the life out of the team. awful coaching. awful.
i farging hate everything.
Tough loss.
its easily the worst loss in the history of temple football since none of their games ever matter except for when they play psu

because its versus...they have weird ivy games all the time
i feel like whenever i switch it on they have utah or air force playing..yale/cornell is as bad as it gets
the do have that stuff too...i wanna say they have the service academy games that arent army navy....but part of their contract has to be ivy league because they carry more than just one or two of them
CBSS has that deal with the three service academies when they play at home. Every now and then Versus will get one (last years Utah @ AF) but if we're (or either of the other two) on the road, it's ESPN3 or nothing - barring a game vs. ND or something like that.

that's a joke of a rule
Of course it is. But it's even dumber to have points taken off the board for breaking it.
Nothing says Big East like a team from Idaho.
Seriously, why keep the geographic ties to the conference names if there is geographic ties to the teams selected?
Boise St.? What the hell? They haven't even played one Mountain West conference game yet in their first year as a member and there's already talk of leaving.

is someone bitter that army doesnt think it can compete in the big east? theyd be a perfect fit since air force and navy are joining. come buddy, convince your peoples. temple/army once a year. rivalry!
No, Army will never be in the Big East, nor should we be. Theres no way we could compete in any conference over the course of a full season, and the same goes for Navy and AF - the fact that the BE is looking at the services academies to begin with screams desperation.
Big East is a basketball conference, which was fine 10 or 15 years ago when CBB was really good.

I'm assuming the fumble where the ASU defender dove as the ball was bouncing out of bounds and attempted to save it? Looked good to me. I thought the defender knocked it back in before his knee hit the ground. I was watching the second half at the gym. No audio was killing me. I was hoping Arizona State was going to make more of a game out of it in the second half. This game must have ended at 1:30 EST.

shut up
yesterday professional suit model and part time basketball coach jay wright said that villanova wants up to move up in football to D1, and then, once thats done, theyd love to have temple in the big east.
seriously does anyone believe this guy? vanillanova had ample chances to move up the last 2 years. the big east asked them to a million different ways. they dont have the money, the support or the facilities. they arent even remotely close to being able to, nor is it even realistic considering they have no place to play and nothing financially in the caldron to make it happen.

Fun fact: JoePa recorded both his 200th and 300th career victories against Bowling Green!
ha
The best thing about monkey boy is..
is that he acts like temple is any different now than they have been since their inception
they farging suck and arent ever beating penn state much less the best or worst mac teams
how good is cfb you ask?
even the big ten is puttin on a showcase tonight
OMFG!
the ball was across the line...but can they overturn it
holy farg what an ending
i cant believe a game like that just ended on a review...what a gutsy call by the refs espcially when the ruling on the field was no score

yeah i was wondering if they were going to overturn it since i'm not sure it was 'conclusive' via any video angle, but was 98% sure the ball actually crossed the line. i think the angle where the camera was shaking showed the ball over the line but there was never a 100% it's a TD shot.
crazy finish.
now time to see if TTU can hold on. OU looks like ass right now.
and I've always cared way more about the NFL than CFB, but CFB this year is >>>>>>>>>>> the NFL. not even close.
just cause you like the eagles more than wake forest doesnt mean the nfl > cfb
in terms of fandom eagles to me destroy the whole sport of college football....but in general this year is no different...cfb farging urinates and diarreahs all over the nfl
obviously, just saying generally i can watch a generic NFL game and enjoy it more than I would a CFB game that I don't have any rooting interest in. this year i've been enjoying CFB games way more though.
the rooting interest aspect is a good point....but it still only applies to games that are relevant to the eagles...and even then only one out of every fifty of those games might be really good
you know i was just saying today that cfb hasnt been great this year...as great i mean. granted i can only watch a limited amount due to my job but yea. guess i brought this on.
also TT is slamming OU. 41-24 holy funhole.
Door is now wide open for ok st, clemson, and stanford. And there will be boise debates. Again.
If LSU loses by 3 @ Bama they really should play again.
seriously would this night not be as awesome if they did a 6 team or 4 team playoff
im anti 8 or 16 or whatever but if you just limit to 4 or 6 wisconsins loss is just as costly. same for OU.

it actually would be way worse....but this argument has been beaten to death...let it go
you are a drama queen....way worse. OU loses so now they are behind lsu, bama, boise, osu, clemson and stanford. i.e. they are finished.
its a good compromise on the situation but whatever. it aint happening so thats that.
oklahoma sucks this year.....thats the whole point...yet you are trying to defend them?
oh good god no
im saying you could have lsu, stanford, boise and ok st all undefeated. how would having them play a final four playoff jawn take away from the regular season?
boise is a joke....stanford a fraud....lets see what happens with okie st
it will work itself out.....like it always does...
i wont pretend to know anything about college ball, i dont have the time to watch enough. but like any good bandwagon fan id be IN for some playoff games

West Virginia to the Big XII is a done deal
lol @ their non revenue team bus trips
correct me if im wrong but i think ncaa rules make you fly if the bus trip is more than 8 hours or something. though that might only apply to football and basketball.
i cant wait to see how the big east farg this up next
The latest idea being thrown around is merging with C-USA and MWC to create a 28-team 4-division conference
Big East: UConn, Rutgers, Cincinnati, South Florida, Central Florida, East Carolina, Navy
Central: Marshall, Memphis, Southern Mississippi, Tulane, Alabama-Birmingham, Rice, Houston
Mountain: Wyoming, Air Force, Colorado State, New Mexico, UTEP, Southern Methodist, Tulsa
West: Boise State, Hawaii, UNLV, Nevada, Fresno State, San Diego State, San Jose State

West: Boise State, Hawaii, UNLV, Nevada, Fresno State, San Diego State, San Jose State
not even going to pretend to understand wtf that mess is or how it is feasible.
First they're assuming Louisville will leave for the Big XII, San Jose State will join from WAC and Navy will join from being an independent.
The four remaining Big East teams go in the East, along with Navy and the two teams from C-USA that are expected to join Big East anyway (East Carolina, UCF).
The three teams already leaving WAC for MWC next year (Fresno State, Hawaii, Nevada) would join with Boise State, San Diego State and UNLV from MWC, then SJSU would come over from WAC for the 7th team and form the West.
The other two divisions are a grouping of the remaining C-USA and MWC teams.
The four division winners would face off over two weeks to determine the BCS spot.
There's also a 32-team version that includes Louisville, Temple, Louisiana Tech and Utah State.

not for non revenue sports...not even the schools with the biggest sports budgets could afford that much less a wva
so youre telling me if i want to be a hurdler on washington state's track and field team i need to sit on a bus for 2 days just to go to phoenix
if they play at phoenix...i suspect track and field has meets at central locations...not sure tho
what a lot teams do is make a trip out of it where they play arizona and arizona state and maybe stop in at ucla on the way back or something
one of the obstacles of texas joining the big ten when that was a possibility was the fact that would the money they gain from the big ten compensate for ahving to fly non revenue teams to state college versus busing them to waco or college station...and thats texas
sounds like it would be a lot easier to create separate conferences for football and bball and make all the non revenue sports in entirely localized conferences
but that would be too logical for a corrupt organization like your boys at the ncaa, now wouldnt it
that bus ride to hawaii is going to be rough.

whatever makes the most money for everyone is what will happen...convienance has nothing to do with it
who gives a flying farg about any college sport not foot or basket ball anyway....i hope they all die in fiery bus crashes
college baseball would actually be great if they didnt already draft all the good 18 year olds
speaking of all this travel talk looks like the big 12 is having second thoughts on wva because of the logisitcal nightmare of getting into morgantown
they might go with louisville now instead
or neither
It sounds like it's on hold until Missouri makes their move official
Also Rick Pitino is lobbying for the Big East to add Temple and Memphis
the second thoughts have nothing to do with missouri....the big 12 is having second thoughts on taking wva and dont have the votes right now....some teams including and most importantly texas like louisville cause they have an airport
and by WVU staying in the big east that could actually save the conference cause now boise, air force and navy would join
and still nova will make up shtein about wanting to get in for football while stabbing temple behind its back like the spiteful, disgusting catholics they are

i did a little checking and i took out the following match ups
any games before 1970 (ancient history)
september games
bowl games
conf championship games
this is only the 9th time a game like this has ever happened.....and the first time ever in sec gawd country
should be spectacular
i haven't tailgated for any of the games here yet, but the tailgate scene is unlike anything i've ever seen in my life. i'm going to be blitzed all day Saturday. They said there are about 75k-100k people coming to Tuscaloosa just to be in the area for the game who aren't even going to it.
It's not LSU/Alabama, but tonight's game was wild, with Northern Illinois beating Toledo 63-60. Over 1100 yds combined, the two QBs combined for 11 TDs and 0 INTs, NIU had a guy return kickoffs for TDs (100 and 95) on the first two possessions, and Toledo's WR had 5 TDs, tying Randy Moss' MAC record

lsu alabama is going to be a 3-0 slugfest....the talent on those two defenses is probably higher than six pro teams
Colts -21.5 vs Bama on neutral field. Who you got?
im assuming you mean +21.5?
huge game on ESPN tonight. The winner could end up in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, and that's so much better than an invite to the Big East

No. And I can only assume that you know better.
21.5 is too much but the colts wouldnt score on bama so they pretty much would have to be +something
Feel like we've had this argument before with Tebow's Florida teams or Leinart's USC teams facing the Lions or Dolphins and consensus was that the NFL teams would still win because they're physically stronger across the board and have more experience
those florida teams in no way compare to bama or lsu this year
southern cal was good and very talented but their offensive line would have been merked by these defenses and couldnt have stood up physically against these teams....in fact they were lucky auburn was left out that year because they might not have even beaten them
I really find it hard to believe you're actually this stupid.

this is why even in a watered down shell of itself big east temple would still bring embarrassment to the conference...if they were smart they would move to AA and join the CAA...that would be a perfect place for them....otherwise get out of the football business
10000% agree
adazzio was farging run out of florida and its plain as day why. if temple moves down they play nova, delaware, etc. fun, local rivalries. great.
as it is they are a middle of the road mac team which for any other program would mean suicide.

I hope you're getting odds, because they've managed to "hype" it as a likely low-scoring defensive struggle. However, if it ends up being closer to a shootout, it generates even more excitement. So, the only chance it doesn't "live up" at this point is if Bama wins by double digits in an ugly game. Like 16-3.
yup...really a first half blowout or maybe a game thats over before the end of the third is the only way it could go wrong....low and slow is why i took the team getting plus 5
who makes a bet on something as subjective as that anyway
i do because for some reason im in a spiteful mood today
its a worthless amount of money and all this game has to do is be 'good' and you get your 25 back. and its not subjective. youll know it when you see it if its livin up to the hype.
ill take that bet - 2 jews gambling; this can't end well

If two Big Ten teams were playing this exact game, IGY would be using it as proof the Big Ten sucks.
big ten sucks because the talent is horrible...so yeah if this was nebraska and penn state it would suck
the amount of great players in this game is staggering
in three years i have never seen trent richardson get hit hard and tonight it happened three times in the first quarter
lol @ 36 players from this game going to the pros and 10 DB's
you want a sick farging number about the talent in the south
i was just looking at the lsu and bama rosters and combined btwn the two teams there are six players from north of north carolina...three ohio and three maryland...and we are talking about 100 man rosters...im not taing about starters or impact guys just anyone period
youd think that national programs like these two would be pulling the best from all over the country...similar to what a duke or north carolina would do in basketball...but the football talent down there is so retarded that on rosters that hold a ton of players they dont even need to go elsewhere
pretty sure the lil guy lost his bet
what a choke by maccaron
wow the end of this okie st k state
KSU looked completely out of sync on that last play. Great night of football.
You're correct igy, the talent pool in the deep south is just incredible. We were sitting here watching the game commenting on how amazing these athletes are. Frightening.
That aussie punter Wing for LSU is pretty damn good. Alabama has that beast from down under playing DT.
pretty crazy stat on espn
ROAD team in bama lsu series is 28-13-1 since 1970

uhhhh no
anything 9-6 is not 'epic.' i dont give a shtein if its on ot.
the high school game i covered this afternoon seriously was more entertaining.
see this is why bets like that are stupid...no matter what happened you were just gonna say it was a bad game so you won...so weak and fraudulant but i wasnt expecting anything less and its why i didnt take the bet up
next time you bet make set parameters like an actual spread...that way you cant weasel out of it
if the game was anything like k state/okie st i gladly hand over the money
but you know epic when you see epic and THAT was not close to epic
lol...the game of he century went to overtime and was an amazing defensive struggle...could there have been more points sure...but it was what everyone expected and the best part about it was that literally every single play in the game meant something...it was ultra magnification at its best because you knew if one big mistake was made the game could be over
just admit you dont want to lose the money and move on
its a 25 spot i wont off matty for a terrible temple/gtown hoops game, i could give two jerry sandusky rape victims about the money
the fact of the matter was that game did not live up to the billing and was not epic. i will take that to my shallow jewish grave
you literally are the only person in the world that would say that it wasnt epic...not epic like the best game ever but an epic gladiator type battle that went to OT for god sakes
i suspect your hatred of the game has to do with your bet....im also 1000% sure you didnt even watch it...just saw the score and figured it sucked
it was on in the background at work and even when i full on watched it in the ot i was barely enthralled
the 25 meant dick to me, i cant stress that enough. but check twitter, the reaction to this game is not exactly OH MY GOD THAT WAS AMAZING.
twitter is definitely where i find out about the game....farg actually watching it
the earth should seriously just be blown up and started over...because it gets worse and worse everyday
im talking about the general reaction to the game, which was that it was a letdown
twitter gives you an instant feedback for that kind of thing...nothing more, nothing less
i know youre old and afraid of change but i thought you would get that much
twitter is filled with 10 year olds like you who didnt watch the game and just wanna be different and say it sucked
i could say everyone on tv is saying it was a really good game and these people actually watched it
good game dont mean epic
it wasnt epic, it wasnt memorable in any way shape or form
it was an instantly forgettable 9-6 overtime game
thats the point, old man. where as the if these two teams did what kstate/ok st did people talk about it for years
you need pts to entertain you which is so cliche and indicative of someone that doesnt know the sport...you sound like a home run derby fan who hates pitchers duels
and again im talking to someone who saw neither game and is making judgements on them....the internet generation you grew up in has birthed horrible sports fans...its a joke and id rather not discuss tonights games with you or anyone else that DIDNT WATCH THEM
we dont need to discuss the game
the bet was: was it epic?
the answer is no.
thats it, thats the list.
no the bet was did it live up to the hype and it 100% did
9-6 is not living up to the hype
you could say it surpassed it since a lot of people were saying (half jokingly of course) that the first team to score wins and that 3-0 could happen
for god sakes even ff called the game and the bet before it happened
FF is one of the worst human beings here, though
i love me some ff...nerd funny and about to become a dixiecrat
That game was boring. And the shot of the LSU kicker running around the field doing the "shhhhh" thing made me want to murderdeathkill someone.
It was awful, boring and over-hyped beyond belief.
The end.
it was boring if you dont like college football or have to have pts for a game to be good.....otherwise it was a bunch of future pros smashing each other in the face for three hours in a natty championship super important edge of your seat game
So, was Cleveland/Seattle from a couple weeks ago the most epic NFL game of the year? It was a really good showcase of 2 really good defenses, but the offenses were sloppy and special teams were terrible...especially Bama's. How many missed fgs?
I enjoyed the game, so this discussion can end now. You're all supremely welcome.

no but this was the worst analogy of the year
It was exciting you're from Alabama or Louisiana.
or a cfb homer like havas
im just a general person who likes watching football and this was not something that was entertaining or memorable
Havas is a hillbilly from Appalachia in his tiny cracker heart. That's why he has such a gigantic case of self-loathing. He should embrace his inner cracker once and for all.
im the board pharmacist....always one step above yous
I don't care how many future NFLers were in that game. It didn't have 1/10 the excitement of Rangers/Cards game 6.
btw that Missouri move to the SEC is finally official. They're gonna start out in the East division until SEC decides on someone to kick out of the West
so the best world series game EVER was better than a regular season college football game?
you get more radical by the day easy
fine, I'm saying it won't even be as exciting as tonight's Ravens/Steelers game. It was being made out to be as awesome as the Texas/USC championship or Boise State/Oklahoma's memorable Fiesta Bowl and instead we got a lot of defense and a bunch of field goals (missed and made)
it feels like weve been down this road before
LAY OFF EASY

I disagree. Unlike LSU/Bama, Cle/Sea totally lived up to expectations.
Todd, I'm agreeing with ya here. you got my back right
ravens steelers could go to overtime and still wouldnt be as good because last night was in all likelyhood was a playoff game as the loser probably is out of the title game race...plus it was 1 vs 2 in november...rarely ever happens...steeler ravens play twice every year
You're taking this awfully personally, Buddy Joe.

that psu game is gonna have huge ratings
The ACC Atlantic is so awful that Wake will win it if they beat Clemson and Maryland. The odds of winning @ Clemson this week though are not so good.
i farging hate sports. no idea why i do this to myself.
The officiating in the FSU/Thug U game is comically bad.
This A&M/K-State game has been very entertaining.
50-47 A&M in the 4th OT with K-State on the 1 yard line. Score a TD here and its over
so say hypothetically Arkansas beats LSU and OU beats OKST. National title game is...?
LSU vs Oregon (assuming each wins their conference championship)
I think Arkansas would have significant issues with LSU making that National Championship over them if they win @ LSU in two weeks. Not saying you're wrong, but the transitive property gets pretty crazy in the SEC at that point: Alabama beats Arkansas, LSU beats Alabama, Arkansas beats LSU.
That being said, I think LSU beats them like 30-20 or something along those lines. I'm not sure Oregon will have the numbers to pass Alabama at this time either, but if they run over some teams I can see it happening. It will be an interesting debate.

yea that setup is fap worthy.
Agreed.
But lets let the computers decide it.
the old school cfb people are a small but vocal group...wait for havas to peep cause he will spew his jim delany-fed talking points about this
and like good republicans there is no compromise with them. playoff people want a 64 team basketball style tourney and the other side, the right side, are right to want to let computers, coaches and sports writers decide everything.
fact is going 4 or 6 would be straight butter and would in no way shape or form ruin the regular season. lsu/bama is still a massive game regardless.
Would be hilarious if LSU barely lost for the first time in the SEC title game, while Bama and Oregon play each other in the BCS championship.
OkSt would have to lose also, but it's basically a wet dream for playoff proponents.
i went to the notre-dame maryland game at fedex sat. night, ND fans outnumbered MD fans about 5 to 1.
The uniforms on both squads looked super.

Mike Freeman of CBS said that scout.com is saying Urban Meyer to OSU for 7yrs $35M.
No other reports yet.
Where did Freeman report that? Didn't see anything out Scout.com, didn't see anything on sportsline and nothing on his Twitter feed either.

I saw it plain as day on his feed...wonder if he posted it and then deleted it if the rumor has been proven as such?
Here's the only place I've seen it: http://www.rantsports.com/big-10-football/2011/11/17/urban-renewal-in-columbus-former-florida-gators-coach-urban-meyer-and-ohio-state-buckeyes-working-on-7-year-35-million-dollar-deal/
They say multiple sources are reporting it but only specifically mention Freeman as well. Sounds like the story might be legit but there's still negotiating going on it's not a done deal yet.
Goooo Iowa State
Wow...shocker!
If LSU goes down the real fun begins.
the fun already is underway
you have oregon, oklahoma, bama and now osu and 1-loss teams. osu and okla both lost to shtein teams, so theyre out. oregon and bama both lost TO lsu, but how the farg do you decide who gets a second crack.
i know! a farging four-team playoff.

what really sucks is stanford gagging...i really wanna see lsu face a good quarterback...i would love to see houston bama in a bcs just to see to what extent would bama destroy houstons offense
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=1bGBrit4EMo
lol
Oregon also was down 40-20 with a minute left in that game whereas Bama lost because they missed 15 field goals. If the season ended today I think Bama makes it, but Oregon is going to have more opportunities to pass them down the stretch playing USC and ASU while Bama only has Auburn.

so they get a second shot cause they missed fg's...why?
oregon lost their top two backs and had to go with a true freshman against lsu on the road...and the kid fumbled i believe three times...if oregon runs the table id love to see them get a second shot at lsu on a neutral field...granted im only talking about them vs bama if both run the table from here on out...im not locked in on oregon making it just them making it over a one loss bama team...and im an sec whore
im sorry for bama but if you have the #1 team at home and you lose you dont get a second chance...unless everyone else has two losses
LSU taking it to Ole Miss. That game was out of hand by the end of the 1st qtr. Oregon/USC should be legit though.
btw the only bigger clusterfarg than the natty race is the heisman race....holy shtein
I have a feeling that Baylor is gonna drop OU tonight too.
USC beating Oregon is mildly surprising too
oklahoma is a farging fraud like they always are....they lost at home by giving up 41 pts to a team that isnt going to be bowl eligible......baylor tonight was almost a lock
on another note exactly how long has greg reid been at florida st...jesus
fla state va is really good right now
it would be better if al groh were still coaching virginia*
*i have no idea if hes still there or not
mike london is the real deal
i love how they dont put the usc/oregon game on another station cause i get the baylor/okla game instead.
good work, disney. you have 6000 stations.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!
holy shtein this game is crazy
thats not a catch...
welcome to the wonderful world of cfb
if you love crazy games for the sake of crazy you need to get yourself some #txhsfb
welcome to MY world stillupfront's mom
i love incredible games and i get at least two or three a week from this sport
i get one or two a year from pro football
omfg could more things have happened in the last eight seconds of this game.....un farging believable
you get like 100 per week here
republican up and get it done son
if youre bored switch over to the ducks trojans for another ridiculous game
a bama lsu rematch scenario just got a lot stronger
wow what a choke
holy crap the last 20 minutes of these different games was nuts
if bama drops the iron bowl HOW ABOUT THEM HOUSTON COUGARS. J loves him some Case Keenum.
i think this would have to happen for houston to have hope
okie loses tonight to Baylor
okie beat okie state
bama loses to auburn
vt loses to clemson
lsu beats arkansas
stanford loses another game
btw right now is why the college system is GOAT....complete anarchy....so many games meaning everything....awesome sports discussion...nothing can match this madness.....HOLLA!
holy crap stoops going for two
does it get better than this
how many disgraceful false starts are teams going to get tonight
holy effin shtein robert griffin
i seriously wish you retards were up watching the last hour of college football....words cant really describe how good its been

If Va. beats Va. Tech next weekend they go to the ACCCG and all because of a missed 42 yard FG after an incomplete pass on third down that was ruled complete and overturned, then an encroachment call that really was a false start and after a VA kid's leg literally exploded on 2nd down of the series.
im here dickbreath
bob stoops is a farging genius for getting that mega extension. what a dumbass.

bigger dog program
oklahoma or clemson
6 ok
but 4...if its 4 OU, oregon and clemson just saw their chances go bye bye. and at the time okie state was thinking it was done.
if its 4 right now lsu and bama are in. okie st is lookin good but still has oklahoma and the big 12 title game. houston maybe can get some pub. boise st, too. makes things really interesting. btw in my dream 4 teamer the high seed hosts the first game...then you go neutral for title. and the losers fall back into bowl selection.
i never went 16...i went 8 because of what happened 3 years ago but that was kind of a freak thing.
holy farg i had no clue arkansas had 1 loss. their game @ lsu is going to be insane. sec > life.
Clemson
They tried to give wake the acc atlantic last week but wake chokes worse than they do.

anyway we have a final four game next week with lsu arkansas...gonna be ridiculous

nothing can be more awesome than this regular season....you will keep trying and listening to the media and pushing their agenda but trust me the system as it stands now is farging amazing
Heisman race is awful this year. Agreed.
wow i went out to watch the uva-fla st game with some friends (easiest bet of the year, uva was getting 17), what a crazy end. they called it a catch and fla st. was out of TOs so the clock ran out. then they reviewed and called it an int. which put enough time on the clock for fla st. to try a kick. then they missed it. although even on replay the kick looked good to me.
anyway, then oregon missed a kick to lose 5 min. later. then i saw baylor roll 80 yards in 40 seconds to beat OU.
awesome insane 20-30 minutes of football.
Hopkins missed it, Matt. It was wide by about two feet. It might have been good if he had kicked it from 47, though, which is even stranger.
cant believe its 116 am and a really good game is still on
are you a bigger homer for the sixers or cfb
that is the question
neither....i call shtein as they be...i cant control these things...they just are
impossible
you unequivocally ride for cfb and jeru and you know it
donovan mcnabb would be proud of this 2 minute offense
just brainstorming here...but check out this sickness where the sec could bust open the bcs and get 3 teams in
lsu beats Arkansas
then loses to georgia in the seccg
bulldogs would get auto bid and lsu/bama would likely play for the title
What a farging weekend. Was looking forward to OT in the USC/Oregon game.
Todd, did you watch any of the Houston game? June Jones got a taste of his own medicine.
QuoteThe Cougars' sixth-year quarterback also joined Hawaii's Tim Chang as the only quarterbacks to reach 4,000 yards passing in three seasons, and he tied Chang's FBS record for career 300-yard passing games (36). Chang set his records in 2000-04, when he played for current SMU coach June Jones.
no bowl game for Miami........self-imposed ban
Urban Meyer to Ohio State....7/$40M

Blue turf, Boise in December! Do it Todd!
Just allegations and if true it may never be proven. Hawaii hasn't covered the spread in over a month.

I mean... Yeah, he'll probably end up there.
clearly waiting on a penn state counter offer
If OSU offered him 7/40, what would PSU have to give him? I'd say 10/60 with an escape clause if the program faces NCAA sanctions.
i was kidding....theres not a chance he would ever go to penn state....in fact without the scandal theres probably a 3% chance hed go there
multiple natty championship coaches who can go anywhere they want dont go to penn state....maybe in the 80's...not ever again tho
i know it wouldnt be a surpise but i keep hearing its gonna be golden
Doubt it. I think it would be someone who never coached for or with Paterno.
he's probably waiting until 5 minutes after OSU loses to Michigan
it will most likely be announced monday
I am surprised he would go there, for a guy who quit because of "stress" and family you would think that he would want to go to a program not involved in scandal. He doesn't even know what kind of sanctions are awaiting OSU.
I think PSU may have had a slight chance before the scandal. Everybody keeps saying Golden, but I would think they would want someone with no PSU ties.
I want either the Houston or the UVA guy.
Sumlin is a good coach. One of my friends knew him when he was at A&M and said he is a stand up guy and a great coach. He said the word on the street as to why he couldn't get a better HC job down here was because he is married to a white chick and these good ol' southern boys frown upon such things. Sad but true.
Welcome to Happy Valley, where all the brothers are tapping white chicks.

Yeah....they aren't going to announce it until after the weekend. No sense in all the extra buzz being a distraction while they prep for Michigan.
Also agree with you on Meyer to PSU even without the scandal. Head to Head with no scandals or anything, OSU is still the better job.
temple is a better job than psu pre-sanduskygate

its light years better.....osu is probably a top five job
I think before this whole Sandusky thing, PSU would have been one of the most attractive jobs in the country. I think we all forget that until a little over ten years ago PSU was a consistent nation power. It would have been like taking the OU job when Stoops did, a "sleeping giant"
Now....who the farg knows.
Someone like Sumlin is a best-case scenario.
Agreed.....someone also told me there are rumors of Herm Edwards. I don't know if there is any validity to it, but that wouldn't be bad either.
Herm is also rumored to be on UCLA's radar, especially if they have a bad showing against USC this weekend. He's a Cali guy and is building a new house in NoCal somewhere right now so he may want to stay close to home.

Mike Sherman is going to be fired at Texas A&M.
Sumlin is the leading candidate. Already offered ASU job but unlikely to accept.
It would certainly make sense.
Only good thing about this Oregon/UCLA PAC 12 Championship game is Gus Johnson.
There's two college football games left that matter.
Army-Navy & LSU-Alabama Part II. That's it, that's the list.
As no one is probably watching this PAC 12 championship watch the highlights. One of the best catches you'll see all year by a UCLA receiver late in the fourth.

The better question is how young are you? Army/Navy game is more than just a game, it's bragging rights between branches, tradition, and a game where standings go out the door. Every person knows either someone that was in the Army or Navy at some point in their life, maybe it was a grandpa or an uncle, so they pick a side to root for.
army navy is cool i guess but it long ago ran its course...no one watches it anymore nor cares like they used too...its cool if you have military ties like sd said but other than that the lil guy is right its for elders who think its football played the right way by people who play for the love of the game...dont get it twisted theres absolutely nothing wrong with that its just not a game that many people care about...it worked a lot better before cable tv and the internet when it was the only thing to do on the last saturday of college football
i like watching the pregame and i might watch the first few series of the game but it quickly becomes absolutely unwatchable
The three 8pm games worth watching could all be really legit tonight. Might double up on the pain meds for maximum Ruxin-like joy.

yea dont get me wrong im not trying to trash the military but to the average person the game is completely meaningless.

yep. I like the pregame and postgame stuff, but Army football has stunk for like 10 years and Navy does the same play 90% of the time
Besides all the championship games tonight (including the unofficial one at OK State), there's also Texas@Baylor on ABC this afternoon if you guys wanna check out RG3. He's coming off a concussion though, so I don't know how effective he'll be
check out who? who easy is this rg3 you speak of, i have never heard of this person.
easy tell me more!
That was for Dio and Don Ho
Houston always starts slow. I still think they not only win but cover the 13.
wow southern miss with the huge special teams johnson
Dagger for Houston covering but not for Houston winning.
is that the dagger?
I wouldn't usually say so with that offense, but since the Southern Miss offense can't be stopped... Yes. Looks like Sumlin may have to settle for 2nd tier job, like PSU.
i was just thinking about how in 60 minutes of football sumlins coaching resume just got crushed
so case keenum stayed in college for 10 years to play in the new mexico bowl against utep?
he probably wont even be drafted
Plus, his wife is ugly.
sumlin to a&m
and now you know why houston didnt show
Sumlin to A&M already done deal?

Not sure they can run Jefferson out there in the 2nd half. He looks absolutely awful right now. But then again, if you pull him now, can you really go with him in the bowl game?
He looks horrible. LSU with NO first downs. Jesus.
How's this chick in the Dr. Pepper contest throwing the football with the chest pass motion? She's on to something. Maybe Jefferson should try that in the second half.
and that's probably game. georgia should have been up 21 after the 1st half and now they're losing 2 mins into the 2nd.
holy farg he's crazy. mathieu is just ridiculous.
yeah he is retardedly good.
Where is he supposed to go in the draft?
he's a sophomore.
And then?
No clue. CBS has him listed at #1 at his position for the 2014 class, but I have to think his height is somewhat limiting. Seems to be the consensus is he's a great STer and ballhawk, but not a great pure corner, and will probably be a borderline 1st round pick.
so how bad is the crowd at the big 10 title game? word is its bad.

D'Antonio going for 2 there is so badass.
OU is making all sorts of mistakes on O.
OU is simply stinking up the joint.
i need clemson to cover in the worst way...well not really...but they were my big play today
One of my bigger ones, but I have more on the ML than the thread. Plus, Beamer's neck freaks me the farg out.
how much dough does Jones have on OSU do you think?
Thread? Sorry, spread. I am now mixing beer with oxycodone.
2.5 I think.
OU has 4 turnovers in less than 2.5 qtrs. 2 have been completely unforced where Jones just had the ball fall right out of his hands.

Yep. Great catch, great attempt, great call.
omg what a terible call in that situation
Weak call.
Awful way to end the game, but the call had to be made. Dumb to go after that punt at all.
Totally agree. No need to even rush anyone there.
so wheres bcs havas to tell us that bama is "better" than osu because he just knows
playoff is for MA!
I think Bama is better than OSU, but I can't fault someone who would rather see OSU at this point.
I think Bama is the only team that has a chance heading to New Orleans on Jan 9th. But yeah, I certainly would not complain about a playoff to settle it.
Quote from: MDS on December 04, 2011, 12:20:19 AM
so wheres bcs havas to tell us that bama is "better" than osu
are you a comedy act?
i know to morons like you the look test means nothing....but if you watched all three teams at all this year youd know that bama and lsu are far superior....but forget the look test even tho its the number one barometer....oklahoma state lost to farging iowa state for god sakes...so get the farg out of here and watch four oclock nfl games or whatever the hell your expertise is in...cause i dont have time for this nonsense
i can't wait to see all of the voters who were waiting for this as a reason to bump down bama. last week bama lost two votes despite beating auburn 42-14 and no one around them doing anything of merit.
lol @ a look test
i just gave my look test to the nfl. cancel the rest of the nfc season, packers are the best.
im not going to argue that bama is the second best team. its a fact. but its seasons like this that destroy your side cause there are plenty of 1 loss teams that have a legit claim at the 2 spot.
heres a thought: 1 lsu vs. 4 who cares, 2 bama vs. 3 osu. boom. awful.
actually this season is exactly what there is no need for a playoff
we know who the two best teams are...theres not even an inkling of a doubt
bama - lsu
LETS DO THIS
the only time it doesnt work is if there are three legit undefeated teams
which is next to never
YOU think the two best teams are lsu and bama.
other people think otherwise. its called debate, which is an essential part of sports.
you know how to settle it? have osu and bama play.
Most of the talking heads seem to think it will still be LSU/Bama, but I'm worried at this point. All OSU needs to get is ~25% of the 2nd place votes to pass Bama. I think the odds of that might be more than 50/50.
if a team that lost to iowa state is in the natty then blow the earth up
trust me there is nothing to be worried about
it bama lsu...period
as it should be
A lot of people are predicting it will be OSU over Bama, personally I would like to see that because the last Bama/LSU game didn't live up to the hype.

yup
9-6 games are awesome and they totally live up to the hype.
losses to iowa state are even better
It would be a perfect year to have a playoff, except then you have to figure out if Stanford or Oregon get that 4th spot, and on and on and on.
Who cares?
it actually a terrible year to have it because there are clearly two best teams and there arent three undefeateds
but these kinds of discussions are what make college football so farging good
just think it if was march madness wed be watching some awful 58-54 championship game with butler
Stating that Bama is 100% with certainty better or more deserving than OkSt is also trolling, but you know this.
I heard on the radio last night that in order for OSU to be ranked #2 and get a spot in the championship game they only have to be ranked #2 in at least 25% of the ballots in the polls.

I had to laugh when Brent Musburger suggested that Ok State lost possibly because the woman's basketball coach died shortly beforehand in tragic circumstances.
Mike Greenberg, a similarly-credible sports personality, suggested the same thing.
The argument that makes sense is that Bama already had LSU at home and lost... Why should they now get them on a neutral field?

:-D how is this trolling? I didn't think the last game lived up to the hype. Do I think OSU deserves a shot over Bama, probably not. I would just like to see a game that hasn't happened.
you have to remember that havas thinks of himself as some kind of cfb yoda where his word is god
a 4-team playoff where lsu hosts either stanford or oregon and bama hosts ok st for the right to play lsu would be terrific. it would take things out of the voters hands and the computers hand and put it on the field
but for some reason the true cfb fans love letting fat sports writers and computer nerds decide who plays who. its their sport so frankly if this is what they want its not costing me sleep.
Bama is still #2 in the AP poll
Bama unexpectedly stayed ahead of OSU in the Wolfe poll as well, and, coupled with USA today numbers, means OKState would need to pass Bama by 5 or more votes in the Harris poll to jump them in the BCS.

OSU was up 24-7 in that game and blew it. Hard to see that as an emotionally devastated team.
The second argument is one I've heard a lot recently but doesn't make sense judging by the context of other teams in play. Its basically conceding that it would have been preferable for Bama to lose to someone like Vanderbilt instead of in OT versus LSU. If you want to say OSU is better, or their resume is better, fine, but the rematch thing makes little sense, since the BCS supposed job is to put the two best teams on the field at the end of the year.

bama is so clearly superior to okie state its not even funny...again they lost to farging iowa state...for god sakes stop the madness...the only reason okie state is where they are is because texas and oklahoma are having massive down years....georgia is probably undefeated right now if they play in the big 12

You missed my point. Greenberg is a loser.
Bama will be in the game, but saying either scenario is absolutely correct and fair is sensationalism and hyperbole at their best.
One other random thing I guess going to IGY's point about Iowa State...
no national championship winning team, has EVER, in the history of CFB, lost to a team which finished .500 or sub.500 (which Iowa State will do if they lose their bowl). Ever.
there is nothing sensationalistic about saying alabama is a better team than okie state....its fact....watch one half of one game from both teams and you can see this
if you hate the current syatem and think okie state deserves a shot via a playoff then i cant argue....but as it stands now in the current system to say okie st deserves to be there as much as alabama is insanity
Better team, probably. More deserving, maybe. 100% slam dunk they are not.
Supposedly Mack Brown will be forced out at UT. I can't say that I understand that.
no one is saying that if they played ten times oklahoma state wouldnt win one against bama (or lsu)....anything can happen on a given day...its not about what would happen its about who deserves to be there and in any sane world alabama deserves it far more than ok state...both on resume and more importantly look test
like legendz aid lsu and bama are the two best teams....period....end of story...and thats what truly matters
So if Bama wins are they undisputed National Champs?
yes
imo once you get to the natty game its basically the superbowl....winner takes all

Sugar Bowl CEO says VaTech's fanbase was important in their decision to have them play in the game. This is another example of how screwed up this system is; filling seats is more important than having the best matchups.

i agree the acc had no business getting two teams in but where else should have they gone?
how about who gives a shtein
i do
what are the odds that the only two interesting bowl games are the first and the last
i like 90% of the bowls...daytime football during the holiday season....night games on tuesdays....it heaven on earth
plus my mans bowl pool is arguably the best league of any kind in the country
Any openings in that pool?
As for VaTech and where they should go...I don't know. But I have a problem with teams being selected based on the ability to fill hotels and seats.
welcome to college football, where money trumps logic

NFL gets the priority on Sundays. Christmas and New Years on Sunday throws everything off. That's why all the NFL games are on Christmas Eve Saturday
And on Christmas, we're subject to only NBA?
FSU/ND Champs Bowl wut up.
How sad is that? Two former powerhouses relegated to a third tier bowl. Still goin though.

shtein! Massive withdrawals today. As much as I respect the Army/Navy game (Navy coached by a local boy from Hawaii) no games for the first time in three months. I wasn't about to get up at 7 AM to watch Sam Houston St VS. Montana St. However I am enjoying Chinalogue on BON TV and the topic of Traffic Problems and China's Car Industry. Did you know China is looking at building a Super Bus that will hold several hundred people?
Cotton Bowl this year is more interesting than the Orange Bowl and Sugar.
how bad is the end of cfb?
its 1030 and i cant find a sporting event on tv....nba being back will help a lot and i cant wait for late night nba (btw sixers nye game is gonna be $$$$) but cfb = GOAT

Nice to see Griffin win the Heisman. I think the voters got this right...
Yep, good for him. What a class act.
Did anyone see the ESPN special on Todd Marinovich tonight? Highly recommend it. I knew he was messed up but didn't realize how low he fell.
Was at a buddy's house playing poker. One guy passed out early because he went to watch midget wrestling. He wakes up after a couple of hours asking, "What the hell is going on and why is Todd Marinovich on the damn TV?!?"
You probably had to be there.
I was talking to Eddie George on the field before Army Navy and he told me RG3 was going to win. As in, he knew it at that point. Kinda cool.
You could have bet it at -1500 all day long. Pretty sure everyone knew.

yup
no offense to eddie but espn did an anonymous poll of 80% of the heisman voters on friday and rg3 was up by like 300 pts
so thats why he was so willing to give up the info
Also, he was hitting on you.
He actually came up to me and introduced himself, so that could be entirely true..
I also asked him if he was ever close to signing with the eagles at any point and he said he could never play in Andys system.
Va Tech has not sold 47% of its Sugar Bowl tickets.
so they sold 53%?
adam.
They sold 48.5%. 3.7% are on layaway, and 0.8% are inside your mom's box.
Todd Graham is reportedly leaving Pitt to coach at Arizona State.
No word yet on whether or not the AD at Pitt would rather off himself than find yet another head coach.
If you have Twitter, check out Pitt WR Devin Street's feed @D_Street_15
That sthein is hilarious...can't blame the kid for feeling that way. Graham seems like a complete scumbag.
yea god forbid a dude should want to leave shteintsburgh and live in arizona and make more money.
or maybe pitt should have written some tighter buy-outs into his contract so he couldnt bail without it costing a lot.
hate the game, not the player.
I have no issue with him taking the job, it is his track record. He throws people under the bus and then he texts his players via someone else to inform them he isn't coming back.
From June Jones to Todd Graham.
Apparently the ASU boosters were pissed about the Jones offer. One of the many issues was his history of "womanizing". That was the rumor floating around when he was coaching Hawaii also. Hoes before Bows.
I'm not a Mora Jr. fan but I wish him luck as the Pac 12 needs UCLA to do well. Simers is still a fargwad.

and bowl season is underway. Temple took it down the field on the opening drive for a TD
bernard pierce is pretty good
National title is next
Proud of the Owls Todd. That was a good ol' beat down. Maybe Hawaii will be competitive in the Mountain West with teams like Wyoming/New Mexico/Colorado St. on the schedule.
Big ups for Temple. Swear to God I watched that start to finish in between eating and watching the Flyers and throwing dollar bills on the stage and whatever...
TEMPLE!
Very impressed with the Utah St. fan base that showed up in Boise for the Spud Bowl.
Check out this RB from Utah St. Turbin #6. Guy is a beast. He ran all over Hawaii last month.
San Diego St./UL Lafayette farging awesome game! Why we love college football.
Awesome game.
NCAA dropped punishment on Ohio State:
No post-season play in 2012 (not sure if that includes Big Ten championship)
Probation in 2013
Loss of 9 scholarships over 3 years
Wow they really showed them!
Norm Chow coach at Hawaii, Don please comment.
Chow is an offensive genius. Pretty good resume - BYU, NC State, USC, Utah in NCAA and Titans in NFL as OC. Only concern is that he is 65. Apparently he has been offered other head coaching jobs in the past - I know of Kentucky for one but he turned them down over assistant coaches pay. Wants his assistants well taken care of. He is going to make $600,000 a year for 4 years.
Rumor is Brad Childress and Mike Martz threw their names in the hat. Was never going to happen as they have no connection with the state or university.
I can't believe the Bows got Chow.
That's a great freaking hire, Don.
Most everyone is very happy with the hire. Waiting for some more news to come out. Apparently it got ugly and there were some tense moments leading up to the final hour. Final candidates besides Chow were:
Duane Akina - Texas asst coach, Dirk Koetter - Jacksonville Jags OC, Mark Banker - Oregon State assistant and Brian Norwood - Baylor assistant that people were really high on. Rich Miano was politicking hard for the job but he's part of the past two regimes. He was actually the interim head coach the past two weeks.
Chow's coached the following QB's over the past 30 years:
Jim McMahon, Steve Young, Ty Detmer, Philip Rivers, Carson Palmer, Leinart.

Oh no I dih'hnt.
Check Akron off the list they are set to hire Terry Bowden.
worst fears realized
Which is what? No one wants the PSU job?
i think it has as much to do with them not caring about the football program anymore than it does no one wanting the job
offer enough money and make the right promises as far as the program goes and they could have easily had someone by now
either way its the worst possible scenario that could have happened
For this year's recruiting class, yes. For the long term, it really doesn't matter much at all.
Chances are whichever coach they hire now will be a 3-4 year band-aid anyway.
Phil Grosz believes they are probably hiring a NFL coach because if it was a college coach the info would have leaked out by now.
If that is the case I would think it is Mike Munchak.
Gesundheit!
I don't by the whole thing they don't care about football. I have read some of Joyner's quotes the school is well aware of how much they need the program for the benefit of everyone.

I agree about the talent aspect but there are very few successful nfl qbs that don't win at the college level. And its not like Clausen played with Akron level talent.

I assume UPS got a kickback on that too.
I have a feeling that VT is going to win this - they should have scored about 34pts by now but keep shooting themselves in the peckers.
Another good game. What farging catch!
No way thats a catch!
out of bounds with the ball moving
Very close. Damn they had some great angles on that one.

I am looking forward to the Cotton Bowl on Friday though - the Compass and GoDaddy suck - and then the big boy next Monday night.
The June Jones Compass Bowl looks enthralling. When is LSU/Alabama? Easter Sunday?

An open letter to dreamers and whiners everywhere:
Dear Overly Passionate College Football Fans -
Stop complaining about college bowl games. Right now. Stop posting about it on Facebook. Stop emailing your friends. Just stop. Until everyone stops making decisions based on money, the bowl games aren't going anywhere. Of course the system isn't fair. It isn't designed to be fair. It's designed to make money. Gobs and gobs of money. So shut up.
And Penn Staters, you need to realize that if a playoff were in place and the Lions played in it they would be exposed as the third or fourth tier program that they are. They would be run off the field. Happy Valley would be flooded with boozy tears. The only reason they get any votes in any poll ever is because sports journalists are lazy and stupid and the college coaching community spends all of their time actually coaching. Anyone who has seen a Penn State game over the past five years knows that every vote they get to be in the top 25 is a gift from above. Imagine a school like UVA beating Temple by 2 points and still getting votes. Never happen. Voting and the BCS are the greatest thing that ever happened to programs that are past their prime. So stop farging whining.
Eat shtein,
rjs246
such a nice thought out letter wasted being sent to only 6 people
im overly passionate and love the current system
two best teams 95% of the time get in the championship game....which is a much higher % than any other sport college or pro
and the bowls have been great this year
The bowl games have been awesome. New Year's day with three great games - Outback, Rose Bowl, Fiesta Bowl. Two go to OT and we were one play away from a third. Wilbon was bashing the bowls on PTI the other day. Ok, yes there are a shtein load of them but a majority have been very entertaining this year.
Lets go KSU! Stick it right up Petrino's ass
I just turned on ESPN. Are you kidding me, Sunday night and the GoDaddy.com bowl is still on. It's almost 1 AM EST. I love bowl bowl season but enough already.
not a good day for bcs havas
this game is terrible and even his idol hancock is saying there will be a +1 by 2014.
sorry, little dude.
Sure is terrible.
LSU just hasn't come to play tonight. I was hoping for a closer game, I just don't see them coming back on this defense.
Why in the hell is Jefferson still in at QB for LSU?
BOOOOOORRRRRRIIIIIIIINNNGGGGGG
That was an unbelievable defensive performance, but Miles coached scared.
Jordan Jefferson and the LSU offense was atrocious.
He couldn't even run the option right! He was taking bad angles all night long like it was the first time he ever ran it.
That was a thorough ass whipping by Bama.
bama d was ridiculous but jefferson and les may have been worse

theres not going to be a tournament, sally
and this year you actually needed a plus 1. you had 3 teams all with 1 loss...now granted alabama's 1 loss was vastly superior to okie's and stanford's, but still. a loss is a loss. no one would have complained, well maybe besides you, if lsu played stanford and osu played bama in early january, with the winners meeting later for the title.
and something is going to happen. ratings were down from last year (and it had nothing to do with the game itself being terrible). its very tough to build momentum and buzz for a game when there is a 40 day lay off. but if you have the games mixed in on new years, then do the title game like a week or so later, that would be better.
anything more than a plus one is a tournament
and lol.....a loss is not a loss
a plus one is not needed when you have a year where the two best teams are blatantly obvious
if you disagree with the previous two statements then you can only look at things in a simplistic non sports fan message board point of view and you just will never get it and i cant explain it to you

im not gonna argue that bama and lsu were the two best teams. other people, not even osu fans, think differently. our opinion should not be the decider. what the ap or the coaches say should not be the decider.
what is wrong with doing 4 or 6 and letting the players decide it on the field. sure bama is better on paper and in its resume than osu. then it shouldnt be a contest when they play. ok. well, prove it.
college football has forever been in the dark ages with the idiotic 2 polls decide all, then bcs, system. time for change my brotha.
two best teams make the finals in college football more often than any other sport....PLUS it has a better regular season than every other sport combined
for the life of me i cant understand why people have a problem with this

Who lied to Darron Thomas and told him leaving Oregon would be a good decision?
I cannot see him going higher than the 6th round - if he's even drafted at all.
Supposedly he was going to lose a battle for the starting job this fall, so he took the easy way out and quit. He'll be a 7th or UDFA
