There appear to be 4 regional ones - Oregon and Penn State are the other two:

I don't believe the curse applies to split or regional covers...at least I hope.

They did regional covers last year as well. They did OSU, USC, Georgia, Missouri and Florida last year.

Holy [expletive], Tressel's never been to the Rose Bowl. That's nuts.

That's amazing. Something you'd know if you thought about it, but never realized it.

 

Also, perhaps I'm being dumb and forgetting something else I know, but which coach has a rival logo tattoo?

Bielema. Has a Tigerhawk tattooed on his ankle from his days playing (then later coaching) at Iowa.

Ah, that makes since. I didn't realize he had a tat though.

The inevitable retirement/passing of JoePa makes me sad. Penn State will never be the same without him....they'll just turn into a "new coach every 3 years" school

[Tracer Bullet]

Are Iowa and Wisconsin really hated rivals? I don't remember any particular venom for the Badgers in my 20+ years living in Iowa.

[bukie]

Wait, wait, wait...Ron Zook is the only Big Ten coach other than JoePa to coach his team to the Rose Bowl?

Y'all might also become as obnoxious as BAMA fans and their "cult of Bear". One of the old jokes is what do BAMA fans and worms have in common? - they can both live off dead bears for decades.

well, having lived in State College for many, many years, I can say that the craziness of PSU doesn't come close to what I've seen from Bama fans

You have CNS now, who is 100x the man Bryant ever was, amirite?

It's pretty crazy but that's how it's worked out.

 

OSU just always ends up in other BCS bowls and the Orange Bowl chose Iowa in '02 before the Rose could pick. Michigan, Purdue and Wisconsin all have new coaches in the last 3 years but went under their last coach.

If CNS wanted Bear Bryant to be alive coaching Alabama, he still would be. I trust his opinion more than yours durrwood.

Tressel has five big ten titles and Ferentz has two.

[Magnetic Curses]

joe paterno is an old man that lives at the school.

Greg Paulus was named the starter today for the Cuse. Despite my hatred for Duke basketball I will be cheering for him, could be a nice story.

[Andy]

Once the AP poll comes out on Saturday, I'll post the Week 1 thread.

 

19 days until Sept. 5th

The NCAA is looking into the eligibilty of Bryce Brown according to Lane Kiffen. Possible improper recept of funds to visit a university when he was a HS Soph. At that time Tennessee was not recruiting Brown.

Here's a link.

 

At question is money raised for Brown and other players to attend football camps while Brown was a sophomore at Wichita (Kan.) East High School, Kiffin said. The investigation has been ongoing since at least February.

Tennessee’s recruitment of Brown is not part of the investigation, Kiffin said. Neither is the recruitment from any other school.
