  1. With Navy, Northeastern, @Western Kentucky and @IU out of conference and all 11 offensive starters returning, Ball State could full well win 10 games next year. The only games they should lose are IU (although we have more of a chance now that Hardy is going pro) and Central Michigan (we're pretty much incapable of beating Dan LeFevour). I figure 9-3 with one other loss that they shouldn't have had, and probably another International Bowl berth unless CMU is bad enough that we can squeak into the MAC title game.
  2. ND at 8, but a couple of more Big East wins (@Marquette and Cincy) should change that quickly.
  3. That old fart in the middle is a dick in person. He's at all the OSU games and does some stupid dance that everyone cheers. I've never cried due to a sporting event in my life. I came close in 2003, but I was able to channel that into wall punching anger. I cried during one when I was 11 but I don't think that counts...I mean, I was 11.
  4. I thought we got a lump of coal and a lump of coal. Well imagine what the Cubs will get if they trade for the Dreaded Pirate Roberts. I'm sure he won't be the original Roberts though. http://joeindie.com/blog/images/tj200703181935-1.jpg
  5. I'm sure the SEC and the other conferences would love to see Notre Dame back in a bowl - they guarantee good ratings and do wonders for their opponents egos. Indeed.
  6. Politics my ass. If your conference champ didn't play like gutless choking dogs against a horrible Pitt team they woulda gotten the chance to smoke OSU. They didn't. I enjoyed this part more than I should have.
  7. Notre Dame has its easiest schedule set up since I became a fan of the team. They only have 6 home games, but they get North Carolina and Washington back on the schedule, both road games (one more chance to punk Ty Willingham before Washington does what they should've done this year and can him), Syracuse, San Diego State and Pittsburgh come to South Bend (SDSU is part of the deal to move BYU game in 2004 to the opener, as is Nevada in 2009), and the teams that are usually good on the schedule will be in transition periods (Michigan without Carr, BC without Ryan, USC without a crap ton even though they'll just reload). If ever there was a way ND can jump right back to consistently good, the 2008 schedule sets up beautifully for it. If the freshmen improve at the rate they should in the off-season, a bowl game, if nothing else, is likely.
  8. Les Miles catches a lot of crap, but he didn't do much wrong tonight.
  9. Boeckman is just terrible at evading pressure. Panics as soon as he sees anybody.
  10. LOL Todd Boeckman The Big Ten teams should start having to go unbeaten to get a BCS bid like Hawaii and Boise State.
  11. Fixed.
  12. LOL Ohio State
  13. Let's not act like you're the only one to uncover Boeckman sucking. :wink: I watched OSU play Purdue and said that Boeckman was going to cost them a game before it was over. As it turns out he's going to help cost them two.
  14. At risk of being flamed again by UI fans, I don't recall Derwood ever saying PSU had passed Illinois. What he said was that the two programs were going opposite directions. He did not say PSU was on a higher level.
  15. how can someone write that article and never once type out "Southern Methodist University'"? What if a casual fan thinks this is Southern Miss? Dumb Isn't Southern Miss USM? It is indeed, and USM's coach didn't leave.
  16. One possible positive side effect to this is having the ability to plug in a DeRosa when Aramis inevitably gets a gimpy knee and for other injuries to other people. However, for the price, I don't think it's worth it. We'll see how it turns out though.
  17. BSU chokes away the MAC opener at Toledo, loses 58-54 after making one FG in the final six minutes. Nothing new.
  18. ND pissed away a 15-point lead but managed to beat UConn. 30 straight home wins, a 2-0 start in the Big East. Exactly what I like to see. @Marquette and Cincy are the next two, so we'll see if the Irish can somehow start 4-0, which would be amazing.
  19. So come to find out Ray Rice is good. Who'da thunk? On another note, I have driven 22 of the last 84 hours. Not good times.
  20. ND beat WVU 69-56 for their 29th straight home win on Wednesday night. Harangody had a career-high 29. They've got UConn tomorrow night on ESPN.
  21. I'm making this post from the Rogers Centre/SkyDome, an hour and a half before International Bowl kickoff. GO CARDS!
  22. West Virginia is scary good. If they find a coach that can use White, Devine, possibly Slaton and all the others well, they will be title favorites next year.
  23. All the home teams win except Pittsburgh. I'm going to miss Pit/Jax because I'll be on the way back from Toronto - a slight annoyance.
  24. I think its Matt VasgersianIt is. One of the few guys in this business that I'm absolutely positive I could do a better job than.
  25. I only watched one BCS game on TV last year (my car trip to the Sugar Bowl precluded me from catching any of the others), and you are right. This network is annoying me.
