  1. Gill probably is a good coach and I certainly have nothing against him apart from ruining last season for me, but if "the program was epically bad before he got there" is being used, then maybe KU should have pursued Al Golden, who took Temple, a program just as bad as Buffalo at one time, to 9 wins this year, more than Gill ever got at UB.
  2. Like Roy Williams, I don't give a [expletive] about North Carolina. Ok, but seriously, it's garbage like this that makes UNC so easy to hate. The reason all Heels hate Duke is garbage like this, but at least most Dukies embrace that identity. UNC hates Duke for being exactly what they themselves are like, basically.
  3. Hey, if it was so obvious he's quitting, why don't you not give up a 96 [expletive] yard touchdown drive to essentially lock up the game for New England? This may well be completely true, but to me it comes off as sour grapes. If it was so obvious he quit then you should have been able to stop New England...you know, ever, in the second half.
  4. I'm going to go down in the first round of the playoffs with the highest-scoring team unless Fitzgerald absolutely goes crazy. Go figure.
  5. Gill had 1 good season, got to the MAC championship game only because of a miraculous Hail Mary against Temple, won it only because Nate Davis got the flu and Buffalo had two long fumble returns for touchdowns (at least one of which happened only because a hideous replay overturn took a Ball State TD off the board), and is 20-30. I'm biased because his 'legend' is basically built off a fluke game against my team, but I have no clue how he's gotten so much attention two offseasons in a row. Best of luck to him I guess.
  6. I think the Heisman 'curse' has more to do with the Heisman continually going to players that everyone knows aren't going to be worth a [expletive] in the NFL than anything. It's not like Smith, White, Weinke, Crouch, etc. were drafted high and had bad things happen to them, they just plain aren't NFL players. FWIW, I don't think the same thing will happen to Mark Ingram, who looks like he could be a solid NFL back.
  7. This has been a really crappy weekend for the entire conference. Think CBS wants a 'flex' option for that craptastic UCLA/ND game they are airing next Saturday afternoon?
  8. Does Dallas really have THAT many more fans than every other team that they have to be on essentially national TV every week? I know they probably have the most fans of any NFL team but I never got the impression that it was that big a difference.
  9. The Panthers rough the punter on their very last chance to get into the game, a poorly-run defensive play turns a 52-yard FG into a 47-yard one later, and now it's 20-10. Time to start calling Bill Cowher, because mistakes like this are inexcusable and they happen to Carolina every week. The Panthers have never had back to back winning seasons.
  10. New England going 96 yards for a touchdown on that drive was basically preordained.
  11. In two plays, the Panthers manage to commit two illegal shifts AND an illegal formation. Unreal.
  12. Denver picks off a tipped pass at midfield with 29 seconds left in the half, then commits an unsportsmanlike penalty. Why are football teams stupid?
  13. Notre Dame loses to LOYOLA [expletive] MARYMOUNT. Somebody please uncover NCAA violations by Brey. PLEASE.
  14. Army looks really good right now. I'm sure Raisin is the biggest Navy fan on the board today.
  15. Our I-Bowl was Jan. 5th so we didn't get to do the New Year's Eve thing. Have fun up there - Toronto is so awesome.
  16. You may not like divisions, but the Big Ten will need them if they want a championship game. What do you call the conference then? I like "Big Tweleven".
  17. I still think that school that OMC mentions as being the best option. They're in the Big East in all other sports. I really don't see that happening.
  18. Marquette?? They have no football team, and the only reason for the Big Ten to chase a 12th team is to have a football title game. No way.
  19. Two of my friends and I had a lengthy back and forth (and back...) on Twitter today and one of them brought up Syracuse and Rutgers as possibilities too - for the NYC money. Missouri is a team that is sometimes floated for the Big Ten too but I doubt they'd ever leave the Big 12. And as for the Notre Dame issue - the Big Ten themselves said they would never again pursue Notre Dame after the Irish declined membership in 1999. For whatever that's worth.
  20. Harbaugh would be an excellent, excellent hire for KU. And Jones would be a good hire for Cincy, though I get the impression if he left CMU would have to consider a "no-Cincinnati" clause in the next guy's contract.
  21. Well, after watching the press conference, I'm more on board than I was before. Very savvy, smart, self-effacing guy. Confident but not Weis-ian. And committed to player development. Couldn't have been more pleased with his response to his impressions of the team he's inheriting: "Does it matter?"
  22. Embarrassing performance by both of you posting in the wrong week thread. ;)
  23. Honestly it is probably the best ND could do. With the apparent failure of the Stoops talks and the obvious lack of interest from Meyer or any of the other biggies, I have a hard time disagreeing. He won't coach the bowl game, so it's right to work for Kelly. I hope for big things.
  24. South Bend Tribune just Tweeted that it's Brian Kelly.
