I think San Antonio would do good to.

He looked great last week. Hopefully we will continue to see more Barber and less Jones. That coupled with another Browns loss will be a good weekend.

Qualifing is so tough in this. Looking at who might miss: Portugal needs a win France on the outside right now, Ukranie is already out. Turkey or Norway with Turkey needing a win in their next game to gain the advantage. Russia Denmark are pretty much done.

The Rose Bowl gets the prime TV spot every New Year's Day. The Rose Bowl Parade is nationally televised. Oklahoma and Texas both raved about getting to go to the Rose Bowl. It's the oldest, biggest and most prestigious bowl game. Recent TV ratings (site didn't have last year): 2006: Rose Bowl: 21.7; NC Game: Rose Bowl; Next highest: Fiesta, 12.9 2005: Rose Bowl: 12.4; NC Game: 13.7 (Orange). 2004: Rose Bowl: 14.4; NC Game: 14.5 (Sugar). 2003: Rose Bowl: 11.3; NC Game: 17.2 (Fiesta). From 1998 through 2006, the Rose Bowl is the highest rated game. It's had the top, and 6 of the top 12 highest rated games (twice as the NC game, whereas all the other bowls in the top-12 were NC games). The nation's college football watching TV viewers prefer the Rose Bowl to all other bowls. In fact, the Rose Bowl has often been competitive with the NC game in ratings. So I'd say that people give a darn about it across the country. Pet peeve but it's the Rose Parade, not the Rose Bowl Parade. The parade came well before the bowl was even built. Ah, true. My bad. The Rose Bowl tends to get the most consistant draw of great tv drawing schools. Of course in 2006 that was the most anticipated NC game in a very long time, and was one of the greatest games ever. 2001 Purdue V Washington 14.0 rating. #9 all time BCS bowl rating. 2000 Wisky V Stanford 14.1 rating. #8 all time BCS bowl rating I think these 2 games are very good testament on the reach of this bowl. That is true, but what about them getting a consistant time slot on a day that is known for watching football all day where the others rotate around the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. Seeing Stanford in a past BCS game is ammusing.

If the US could ever develop a Gerrard/Roy Keane/Ballack type central midfielder we would be in very good shape.

He filled his role well to day, you can't knock his effort. His foot is like a concrete block though.

A complicated algorithm is going to be the best way. It's too bad people are too stupid to accept it. A lot of the posters here included. Maybe you should explain it to all of us genius? So we can understand it because we'll not nearly as bright as you think you are. It really is fun to see how worked up you get. These college football threads always bring out the best in you. Yeah, they really do for some strange reason. I feel like the proverbial hippy that screams against the establishment when it comes to this topic. Just trying to stick it to the man I suppose. I wonder how much Syracuse winning a couple of games a season would help :wink: Not until you take that coach of yours back will we be able to do that! I perfer to take Gene Chizik back first.

someone is looking for a daytime emmy award on the dive.

Altidore needs to be in this game, they need more size up front and someone who can actually feed a 1 touch ball around the box. Not to mention a shot from outside the box.

no kidding. that will probably be the only game TCU loses all season unless they somehow make a BCS game. TCU is a very good team with a very good defense.

all they need to do today is score 12 runs and not even worry about the bullpen.

A&M needs to go down at home and to a non-conference opp.

I forgot how good Derrick Williams was being the #1 player in the nation a couple of years ago.

Is it worth its own thread to discuss who will be the next Michigan coach?

Hart goes down now too, although looks like he'll be ok. ND vs. Michigan is not worth the television broadcast next week.

They may riot in Ann Arbor tonight.

I hate living in BR and not being able to go to the game today. I've missed the last couple of "big" opening non-con games in BR and it's starting to piss me off. My brother scored four tix to the game and then didn't invite me...bastard! and you still call him your brother?

England lead 1-0 at half. This is a strange picture. Can't tell how Wright-Phillips actually scores. http://soccernet-akamai.espn.go.com/design05/DJ/20070908/swpscores_adavy.jpg

Any predictions on how many yards and TD's Brennen will throw for?

Yes please. Theriot (2b) Soriano (LF) Lee ARod ARam DeRow (RF) Soto Pie Yum, yum, dim-sum. Arod or Tejada.

His run defense has been giving up tons of yards so I haven't seen that great or even average defense yet. Rutgers is now getting all the Jersey and Florida kids we used to get and the area kids are still leaving. I'm sick of winning recruiting battles with Northeastern or Hofstra and not even being mentioned by any 4 or 5 star kids. Maybe you can fire him and bring back Major Applewhite, imo he is going to be one of the next greats. Of course and the one to replace Mack Brown some day.

Two tv's and a cable splitter.

If that actually happen words could never describe how happy I would be. Not even the Cubs could ruin my day no matter how much they try.
