I'm shocked by how things have started out for you guys. I thought PSU had an outside shot at a tourney berth before the season started. Can you at least win your Big 10/ACC Challenge game? well, penn state just got done losing to south carolina, rider and ucf, teams that were ranked (roughly) 110, 194 and 119 last year, so you can probably answer that question yourself but they'll play VaTech in front of 2000 fans at the BJC!

you don't like PSU over VaTech? :lol:

Kerry Wood re-signs with Cubs
Derwood replied to Hoosiercubbie's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
if he stays healthy all year, someone will pony big bucks for him to start next year. -
Miami will find a win somehow
-
yeah, i know it's a fantasy, but that's because the system is so broken
-
Duke v. Wisconsin tomorrow night. Should be an interesting matchup. Its at Duke, so I fully expect Duke to win. However, I think the Badgers will make it a good fight. Badgers have great size and I've been impressed with their guard play. Is Duke bringing their own refs for the game too? Watch out if they do. they have them in house since they never play non-con outside of Cameron

i think it was 2 years for 5million total, not per year -
I think there are 2 major stumbling blocks. The NBC TV package and some joint academic stuff that may be against Notre Dame's beliefs. I think the Big Ten would take them in a heartbeat, but they want to TV money shared. I am sure the academic stuff could be worked out if the NBC thing got worked out. there is zero financial incentive for ND to join a conference. PSU only joined because they needed a conference to prop up the 26 non-football sports programs There will be when their football program continues to suck for the next ten years. i don't foresee NBC pulling out of that deal anytime soon

And Penn State shouldn't be in the Big 10. because they should be in the Big East instead?
-
the best scenario would be: - all 6 BCS conferences expand to 12 teams - all play 12 game schedules, with 10 conf games, a home/away non-con, and one bye week - all have title games - NCAA controls scheduling, pairing up BCS conferences for two year, home/home series based on previous year's rank in the conferences (e.g., if next year began the two-years of SEC vs. Big 10, the schedule would have OSU play LSU in a home/home, UGA play UofI, etc.)
-
when the Big 10 went with 12 what? games? cuz there are only 11 teams my point was that the conf. chmp. games aren't going away, so at least make it equitable among the 6 BCS conferences. Georgia actually benefits from NOT playing the chmp game this year because either LSU will end up with 3 losses or UT with 4. Georgia can't lose again.
-
As I wrote to Colt...at least the Big East and PAC 10 all play each other. true, but if all 6 of the BCS conferences had a championship game, then that would at least give you one "playoff" game to qualify 6 of the entrants into the BCS games.
-
which is why it's lame that all the conferences don't have championship games
-
unfortunately, it'll be a few years before the Big 10 non-con is any good. PSU, for example, has two years of Syracuse starting next year, but then have two-year series with Alabama (2010-11) and Viriginia (2012-13) after that The Big Ten can be good without a tough non conference schedule. sure, but your arguments for why the SEC is better is based on non-con, so i'm trying to counter that argument.
-
I still don't see how the SEC is leading though. Exactly who have they beaten OOC? VTech was a good win but what I think is ironic is that in Basketball Syracuse gets ripped for playing a lot of games at home but in football the SEC does it and gets a pass. LSU beat VT UGA killed OkSU Florida killed FSU Auburn over KSU You don't just look who they beat, you look at who they lost to as well. The SEC had one loss to a non BCS conference team (Alabama to Monroe). The Pac 10 had 4. The Big Ten had 5. The Big East had 3. The Big XII had 5. The ACC had 3ish.* You also look at how well they played (Score). And running up the score should matter some (obviously not completely). *going into this week. you'll get a more accurate picture if you break those conferences down by team (for example, the total suckfest that was Minnesota accounted for, what, 3 of those 5 losses?) just saying

They get pretty mean-spirited. I thought the Mizzou/KU stuff here was pretty friendly personally. I didn't realize we were annoying other people. i didn't think you were annoying at all. having one thread for the one game was the right way to go about it. the UofI/IU stuff goes on year around and infiltrates a bunch of other threads
-
couldn't one argue that one or more of the games that Florida won failed to prove that the Gators were the better team?
-
Penn State loses to UCF after shooting .362 and going 5 for 31 from three point range. This team is going to get annihilated in Big 10 play
-
Morelli wasn't injured? He sure played like he was. i wasn't counting brain damage
-
Penn State was fully healthy and lost 4 games. So, um....
-
i think if Oklahoma loses to Missouri, they'll be out of the BCS. just a hunch
