i'm torn on this UW/UM game. On the one hand, I like seeing a team above PSU in the rankings lose. On the other, I don't want UM getting any sort of confidence going

pick-6 and Michigan is suddenly up 20-19 on Wisconsin!

sure, why not. I'm about 99% sure that the automatic ACC bid team will be 7-5

yay for ryan braun! get LIlly the heck outta there

I would be extremely surprised if they have 3 WRs drafted in the first two rounds. In fact, I bet none of them is a first rounder, and I wouldn't be surprised to see none of them go in the second or third round either. Norwood is really small, Williams has never played up to his potential, and Butler doesn't have great combine-type numbers and is small. On second thought, Williams will probably go in the 2nd or 3rd...but i'm really not sure about the other 2. Especially Norwood. That's not to say that they aren't a great group of college wide receivers, but I don't think they're 1st/2nd round NFL talent. Williams will be a day one pick, the other two won't be (imo, of course). yeah, you're probably right. all three are undersized.

I'm still tempering my enthusiasm about Penn State despite the ridiculous offense. How they handle a spread offense with a mobile QB tonight will give a better gauge on how they might be able to handle Terrelle Pryor down the road. I'm not worried about their defense against more conservative offenses like Wisconsin. Considering the school's history, it's pretty unbelievable that PSU will probably have 3 WR's drafted in the first round or two this April

If the Brewers end up losing this game, they should just not show up tomorrow in shame. That said, I'm sure that Kevin hart or whoever is pitching the final 4 innings today will blow it

Which would beg the question: Is a two loss SEC team better then a 1 loss Non-Sec team? Anybody who knows my conference loyalty knows the answer to that question. But I will say it would also depend on who the non-Sec team is. But if LSU proved last yr is that a 2 loss SEC team was better clearly better then what the Big 10 had to offer (and Michigan had to hang on against Florida). Right now the NT game would be Oklahoma and........whoever survives at the end of the season. But we know things should and will change between now and Jan. What a ridiculous all-encompassing question. Love that Michigan had to "hang on" against Florida. Nevermind, that EVERYONE said Florida was clearly superior to Michigan. And then they lost. But I'm sure this game is just proof of the SEC's superiority that even your bad teams are top 20 caliber. Not that Florida is being taken to the wire against a mediocre team. I think the real question is should an 8 loss Mississippi St. Team get a BCS bid instead of another conference winner? I don't appreciate the mocking SSR so cool it. I was asking a question based on what bukie said about the SEC. That is not a question I would ask out the blue. (Because I know Big 10 homers would not like the answer but in their hearts know it to be true) I was asking a simple question in reference to a previous post. And the answer still holds true...Michigan last yr while a good team, still barely hung on and beat the Gators regardless of what Big 10 homers say. And my opinion still is...a 2 loss SEC team is better then 90% 1 loss no SEC teams. If you can't deal with it, that's your problem. I would take Alabama/Georgia/LSU/Florida against other conferences best teams anyday of the week. So save your mocking for your fellow Big 10 fans, or whichever conference holds your loyalty. I don't think there is a single Big Ten fan on here who believes the league is as good as the SEC. It's clearly not. I've yet to see anyone argue it is. However, Michigan beat Florida last year. They were supposed to get blown out. They didn't; they won the game. Who cares if they "barely hung on"? I fail to see what point you are trying to argue here. no, I don't think the Big Ten is as good as the SEC, but that hasn't stopped them from having a winning record against them head-to-head in the last 8 bowl seasons

i think so too, but now there's no doubt

well at this point, Penn State is a lock for the Top 10 with a win tonight. most predictable call ever on 4th down for Florida there. The entire universe knew Tebow was keeping it

i'm already tired of Thom Brenneman slobbing Terrelle Pryor's bone. Apparently he's the second coming of Touchdown Jesus

I think the point of the thread was regarding whether he should make the playoff roster over Ward, not replace Lee as the everyday starter at first. i think people are suggesting he start in RF if DeRosa isn't healthy There aren't exactly an abundance of great options for that spot if DeRosa doesn't play. so we're completely writing off Kosuke now?

woops, bad INT by Minnesota

I'm thoroughly unimpressed with Ohio St. so far today. Minnesota's defense is much improved.

chickens, eggs, hatching, etc.

so you're weighing the teams' Sagarin ratings against the ratings of their remaining opponents to derive the probabilities? If so, isn't Florida's SOS much higher than PSU's?

right, I'm asking what data you used to derive the %'s

There is no fudging with the data. You get what you get. what data?

how are you not calling in sick or something on the night of game 6? :shock: I probably made $700 or $800 that day Guess that makes sense since it was only the NLCS. If it was a clinching game in the WS I would have called in sick. WS seemed like a foregone conclusion. I definitely would have skipped work for WS games

i can attempt my all-white guy team again

i missed games 6 and 7 of the 2003 NLCS because I was at work. we had the game on (minus sound) in one little monitor in the studio but I couldn't really pay attention. someone mentioned something about fan interference and later that we lost

proud, are you? what does the video prove, exactly? that were some drunk frat boys at penn state? we already knew that. those guys were kicked out of school and the fraternity was suspended after this incident. but my guess is that you like to pretend that this is normal behavior for penn state fans. guess what? it's not.
