Local paper had an article about this today, and said one of the driving forces behind this is that Big Ten AD's (and presidents) don't like the fact that Big Ten football is out of the national spotlight 3 weeks before the rest of college football is over. Adding a bye week next year at least gets them to play after Thanksgiving, but there is a strong desire to have the Big Ten on a national stage along with the other BCS conferences who have a title game, with the game likely to take place either in Indy or Soldier Field

Santo signs for 3 more years on WGN Radio
Derwood replied to Schwarber Fan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
He wanted a 4th year, but Hendry said he didn't have a leg to stand on -
agreed. A division with OSU, Michigan, PSU and Pitt would be so awesome

OTHER DUDE'S WEINERS

I don't see the need to split Ohio State and Michigan. They'd still play "the game" as the final regular season game each year, and if/when Michigan becomes good again, that game may be decide who goes to the championship game. It's not like the SEC said "we HAVE to split up Alabama and Auburn" (for example).

new idea for an Onion article: "MLB folds after Red Sox sign every player in baseball" -

if you put CubbieBum on ignore and then go back and reread the thread, there are a few good posts

Yes. It's all on a website that doesn't exist anymore and in a paper that no one is allowed seeing

Heisman winners have a pretty bad NFL track record over the past 20 or so years as well. There are exceptions, but the Heisman seems to be an NFL curse ETA: Winners since 1990: 1990: Ty Detmer (career backup) 1991: Desmond Howard (don't even remember who he played for) 1992: Gino Toretta (lol) 1993: Charlie Ward (undrafted, played in NBA) 1994: Rashan Salaam (ouch) 1995: Eddie George (really good) 1996: Danny Wuerffel (career backup) 1997: Charles Woodson (good) 1998: Ricky Williams (4:20) 1999: Ron Dayne (eh) 2000: Chris Weinke (bad) 2001: Eric Crouch (bad) 2002: Carson Palmer (good) 2003: Jason White (who?) 2004: Matt Leinart (bad start, stuck on bench) 2005: Reggie Bush (good when healthy) 2006: Troy Smith (backup) 2007: Tim Tebow (TBD) 2008: Sam Bradford (TBD) 2009: Mark Ingram (TBD)

worst bump ever

Bears now have the same record as the Seahawks, Panthers and Bills. LOLOLOLOLOLOOL

When they cut to GB/CHI after the Saints game, the first thing I see is: Chicago with the ball, 12 penalties, 0 timeouts. I felt like I got a pretty good idea about the game right there

that's a scary injury

Can't?

And the Big 12. And the ACC. In basketball. The Big 12 doesn't seed their tournament by division, but they schedule by division. Home and home against everyone in your division, one game against everyone in the other division. It doesn't look like the ACC does that though. Big 12 standings also aren't listed by division. It's just 12 teams, top to bottom. So divisions really only matter in football, and a geographic east/west split (esp. if you add Pitt) would have the historically best teams in the East (and would prevent the conference pipe dream of an OSU/UM title game every year). I don't know how else you would split it, though, unless you just threw teams into a hat
-
closer to a new coach though. Which is more important for this franchise than getting Angelo a 1st round pick. With Virginia McCaskey calling the shots, I don't think logic or reason play any part in what happens with Smith/Angelo

SEC is the only major conference with division play. The Big East has like 47 teams and no divisions. It would only matter in football (and I'm fairly sure there are no women's football teams, but maybe Professor CubbieBum can edumicate me on that). Add Pitt, go with: East ----- Penn State Pittsburgh Ohio State Michigan Michigan State Indiana West ----- Iowa Illinois Northwestern Wisconsin Minnesota Purdue There's no way not to split up Indiana and Purdue unless you go away from geography (Indiana is the dividing line of the conference). If you ask a school like Missouri, you put them in the west and move Purdue to the East. Done and done.
