They need to beat NIU and have Bowling Green either lose another game (@Buffalo or vs Toledo) or win the East (which would ensure BSU's 7-5 as the 3rd best record in the league). Basically for Ball State not to get in, BG and Miami would have to win out, putting Miami at 7-6 after CMU destroys them in the MAC title game, and BG at 8-4, which would leave BSU on the outside looking in. It's possible but I'd be surprised. And Nate Davis definitely has Colt Brennan potential. 25 TD to 6 INT this year, and half of those picks were tipped balls, and he's a sophomore. The scary thing is that his numbers could be so much better than they are, as he has just barely overshot receivers on deep balls probably 7 or 8 times this season.

It would help if the conference didn't refuse to play ND after September. Yea, scheduling Notre Dane would really help the Big Tens out of conference schedule lol. I sort of meant the ones who already do play them (Purdue, MSU, Michigan). They won't play them after September. Used to be under the guise of "not interrupting the conference season", but of course now at least one team in the conference plays an OOC patsy each week, rotating off.

ND 82, Long Island 50. Rob Kurz 19 points, 10 rebounds. Tory Jackson and Kyle McAlarney get 8 and 7 assists respectively and Luke Harangody adds 15 and 6. This season's gonna be fun.

Speaking of stupid ADs, Notre Dame opens with San Diego State and Nevada the next two seasons respectively because of a horribly misguided decision to move the BYU game in 2004 to the opener as a 'tuneup' for Michigan. Naturally, we lost that game then beat Michigan. I hate playing non-BCS schools (other than Navy).
-
Yeah, as it turns out, if you'd beaten Iowa, you'd be going to the Rose Bowl regardless of UM/OSU.

It should have been Braun.

If Mark DeRosa isn't in the opening day lineup behind anyone named Infante or Matsui, Hendry gets slapped. -
With Tim Tebow, Percy Harvin and Zook's players. I feel obligated to bring this up anytime Meyer's title is mentioned since Weis has been absolutely roasted for only winning with Ty's players (ignoring that a good portion of the ND depth chart is still Ty's, would be more if he'd bothered recruiting for his last two offseasons). Speaking of, Ty's only good season at ND's helm came with Bob Davie's players, yet another thing that is conveniently ignored when this discussion comes up. I'm not trying to say Weis deserves outlandish praise or anything of the sort. I'm just saying anyone who says ND is hypocritical for firing Ty and keeping Weis is ignoring about a hundred other facts.

Weis has two top 10 recruiting classes already and the no. 1 ranked class for 2008. Ty had one top 10 class out of three and his last two were the two worst in ND history. Weis has shown a willingness to change assistant coaches when they show they aren't capable. Ty refused to fire Kent Baer, his defensive coordinator, no matter how absurdly bad the defense was. Ty didn't play Jeff Samardzija for two years. He played Ryan Grant over Julius Jones in 2003 - Grant infamously had more carries than Jones in the Pitt game where Jones broke the ND record for rushing yards in a game. Weis has eight more years on his contract, so firing him would be financially irresponsible. (Stupid to give him the extension in the first place, I know.) By the way, where's the bellyaching about Florida firing Ron Zook 2.5 years into his contract, with a better record than Willingham? Oh, Zook is white and Florida is currently winning so that makes it ok.

Just about everyone on Notre Dame's staff save Corwin Brown and possibly Bill Lewis (secondary coach) could possibly become available.

LSU 48, Virginia Tech 7

When does John Fox get canned? Two straight seasons he has completely ruined.

Duke will be Notre Dame's 1st opponent this year that does not currently sport a winning record. I'm picking ND. I'm confident, but not supremely confident. That in itself tells you all you need to know.

If Juice had played half this well against Ball State we wouldn't have hung with Illinois for long. Go Illini.

Me, 10/6/07 watching OSU v. Purdue: "Boeckman is going to cost that team a game one of these days."
-
UNT gets 49 in a half, ND got 44 in regulation plus 3OT. That's nice. First 9 loss season in school history. Boy, did I pick a hell of a time to grow up an ND fan.

What does this have to do with how the bowl games will play out. All I am saying is OSU will win the NT. If they end up playing LSU, then LSU will probably win. Mainly because its a home game for them. I just dont think LSU will make it. They certainly dont deserve to go in in front of Oregon. Besides Va Tech early what have they done. Win a bunch of close games against overrated SEC schools. The SEC hasnt proven a whole heck of a lot more than the Big Ten out of conference. This is all I am going to say about this because we can sit here and bicker all day about the SEC. I am not going to change my mind. They are overhyped. I am saying OSU will win the NT and a Big Ten team will win either the Citrus or Outback bowl. If I am wrong I will come back and say I am wrong. If Oregon makes it they will likely be just as dominant against OSU, although I can go ahead and pop in the Oregon@Michigan game to review it in the meantime.

Heh...heh heh...heheheheh...hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. It's nice to dream and all...but that ain't happening. Ok. But when it does there will be a lot of college fb fans in this country who will have to eat crow. Also after thinking about the Illinois non-fumble. You cannot review a play that the ref has ruled down. I forgot that rule. I think that is why they should rule them all fumbles and let the replay sort it out. No there won't. Ohio State will get absolutely destroyed by LSU in the national title game if they make it there. The reason I would give LSU a advantage in that game is because it will be a home game for them. Not because they are a better team. They also wouldnt win by more than a TD. I also dont think they are going to make it. LSU is a better team, they are going to make it, and they will win by 20 or more. You did watch last year's title game right? Ohio State is a worse team than the one that got their asses handed to them that day.

BSU loses to Butler 61-45. No big shock. BSU looked pretty decent at times though.

The Kobe thread (Formerly Kobe to be traded by Oct 30)
Andy replied to Banedon's topic in Other Sports
I think I'd rather have TT than Deng, to be honest. At the rate TT is improving, yeah, I'd have to agree with that. He looks on his way to becoming a legitimate 16/10 guy in only year 2.
