Here's hoping you guys don't find your Charlie Weis at the end of the tunnel. :D GO HOKE!

You're in Fantasy Land (a.k.a College) and you don't have time to read 24 pages? show me where I said I didn't have time. I just don't have the desire. Why would someone desire NOT to read the greatest thread ever? The sea lions alone make this the greatest thread ever. The Soriano signing thread takes offense to this comment. -
Ball St. was 6-7 from beyond the arc. Hard to complain about the other team's hot shooting. You should beat Arkansas St. Yeah, this was our best-shooting game of the year, and I'm not quite sure where it came from since Purdue is so good on defense. Indiana St. on Saturday is winnable too, and I think two straight wins would do wonders for this team's confidence.

Another Ball State game, another frustratingly close loss to a good opponent. This time it's 70-57 to Purdue in a game we led 44-42 before the Boilers decided they weren't going to miss three-pointers anymore (which the last 4 opponents have all done).

Crede to Milwaukee "close"
Andy replied to inari's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Milwaukee getting Crede would add to this glorious offseason of other NL Central teams trying to make the Cubs a dynasty -
Nate Davis is a God. :D

I just found out today that I'll be able to tag along with the Daily News people who are going up on Jan. 2nd...meaning I get two full days in Toronto before the game, and the hotel is comped. Ohh, yeah. 8-) NC, if you do buy a ticket I'd encourage you to go through ballstatesports.com - if they don't sell their 10K ticket allotment (no chance they will) they have to pay for each ticket that goes unsold. $40 tickets and you get lower level seats. :)

I like Hoke. I haven't actually talked to him, but I've attended his postgame press conferences a few times. He's a good guy. He's definitely not ready for the UM job. Although it would get harder to hate them with a BSU guy in charge.
-
ND gets a gigantic win they had to have over Kansas State 68-59. Truth be told they didn't play well and let KSU back in with some dumb plays. Harangody (19/14) is a monster. I'm ready for Big East season.

Notre Dame will ALWAYS get an at-large BCS bid when the qualify. ALWAYS In the interest of fairness, most years (emphasis on most, not all - see 2005) Notre Dame plays a schedule difficult enough to justify it anyway. And I'd expect Penn State, UM, OSU, USC, Texas, and all the other high-tier programs with well-traveling fans to always get a bowl bid if they qualified too.

It's still tw years in a row for Kentucky going to a bowl game. I don't think that's happened since the Tim Couch era. My three favorite teams (Ball State, Indiana, and Kentucky) are all going bowling. I don't think that's ever happened before. Ball State's only been to two before, so that's a pretty good bet. Actually it's three (California Bowl in 1989; Las Vegas Bowl in 1993 and 1996). Or maybe you were talking about DIFFERENT bowls and not counting repeat appearances in the same bowl. :wink: Huh, no, I thought it was two. Interesting. Never won one though, I don't think. But that's gonna change. Toronto's going to rock. Are you going to try and go, NCCubFan?

That's hard to believe. Two straight escape jobs by New England.

Say to him what you say to Wisconsin fans who bring up 2006: IN ELIGIBLE The rule sucks, but it's there, they can't go, end of story. Want to play in the Sugar Bowl? Beat Georgia.
-
Actually, they were an 8-win team because they lost to a I-AA team and got absolutely smoked by Oregon at home. They may have been a 9-win team had they had those guys for the Wisco game but that's about it.
-
It's looking highly likely that I won't be going as media to the International Bowl, so I'll probably just go and have fun. There's more than a few people I know who are interested in going and tickets are dirt cheap so it's a fairly reasonable trip.
-
I was just coming here to post that. He won't get the WSU job - Bill Doba, their former coach and a Ball State grad, recommended him but he hasn't actually been contacted. I don't think he'll get the UM job either - he still has a losing career record at Ball State and only went 7-5 this year, probably coaching us out of a win against Miami that cost us a shot at the MAC title. He's a fantastic recruiter, though (got the Gatorade HS Player of the Year from Indiana at QB for next year), and I have no doubt within the next 5 years he'll find himself at a bigger job. Just not this year.
-
But this is what the BCS is based upon, I so love an educated voter. I'm replying to all the coaches votes, not just this one. Where did you guys get this info? That link that dougdescenzo posted was to the final coach's ballot.
-
Illinois was ranked 9th by three Big 10 coaches (including its own), Bob Stoops voted Oklahoma 1 and Ohio State 6, Boise State got a top 10 vote...ludicrous.
-
What with all the other Central teams are doing, doing nothing is probably the best way to guarantee another division title. :D
-
no, that would just be lucky. It's irrelevant, since they'll lose all those games by healthy margins. If anybody would know about losing by healthy margins, you surely would :D Bah, Ball State totally should've beaten Illinois if you think about it. Just take all the incompletions from Davis and turn them into completions. Stupid mental errors. Yeah, that's what I said.
-
Yep, pretty much as many as I can. Yeah, I like watching bowl games.
-
Troy Smith facing pressure for the first time in all of 2006 and looking like crap against it was no surprise to anyone who watched what other marquee college QBs did against pressure in 2006, so no, I don't think that last year's game was a fluke.
-
Interestingly, whoever wins will be the first national champion with a first-year starter at quarterback since Craig Krenzel and Ohio State in 2002.
