the IU/UofI stuff on this board is 100x more annoying than the recent Mizzou/Kansas stuff
-
thus, my George Wallace comparison
-
my guess is that the Sox will play O-Cab at 3rd and try to trade Crede -
Ahem. Daniel. No respect I tell ya. ;) yeah, i knew i'd get that wrong. either way, tough to respect a dude named Chase ;)
-
Dixon, Daniels and Tebow are finalists for Davey O'Brien Award

Think about it. Torii Hunter is going to get 6 years and $90M (if the rumor is true). It makes Jacque Jones' 3 year deal for $16M a few years back look almost reasonable. considering that career-wise, they're nearly exactly the same player (only JJ didn't rob a Bonds homer in an All Star Game, so....)
-
eh, it's just not the same anymore

What would happen if IMB and OMC met in real life

this is a dumb poll -
local paper is unhappy with JoePa

Who had this bright idea?

Didn't you say last week you fully expected Florida to destroy the Illini? no, i said i would fully expect Florida to destroy Penn State, but that matchup isn't happening unless Florida loses again
-
DePaul squeaks out a one-point win over Northwestern in the "Battle of Derwood's Alma Maters"
-
i can't wait until Illinois beats Florida but Meph's computer tells us it doesn't matter because Illinois played Northwestern instead of Vanderbilt
-
i think Meph reasoning would put the Pac 10 down a peg after this week (Cal and Oregon losing to inferior teams)
-
I think it's impossible to compare those eras. There are hardships and advantages to both eras. there are actually metrics to compare eras, i just don't have them available to me
-
my mistake. i was thinking that a bowl could take the SEC #4 over an SEC #2 if they want (since three bowls are "tied-in" to SEC They can. I think Meph was talking about BCS bowls, which is a different story. even then, as if the Pac 10 or Big 10 champ is in the title game, for example, the Rose Bowl can go with at-large teams
-
the '72 Dolphins a great analogy. That team gets revered for going undefeated but they wouldn't go 8-8 in today's game. Likewise, neither Cobb nor Ruth would be anything great in today's game.

Not a likely scenario. 1. LSU has to lose to one of two teams (teams that UF is better than so they can beat teams that good) 2. LSU then has to get an at large BCS berth, which is likely, unless they lose to Arkansas and beat UGA 3. USC has to get a BCS at large berth, but not win the Pac 10. If they win the Pac 10... 4. OSU has to get in the NC 5. USC and LSU gets BCS berths and then with conference tie-ins they have to hope that WVU gets into the NC versus a Big 12 team...and the other big 12 teams dont get berths 6. Fiesta Bowl picks both LSU and USC. Plus a bunch of other things involving Hawaii and such. Possible? Yes...likely? No. now way they play in a non-BCS game? I don't believe the SEC has a tie in with a bowl that also has a tie in with the Pac 10. They have them with the BE, BXII, BT and ACC. those tie-ins sorta fall apart if better teams are available

awwww shucks

LSU could face USC in a bowl if LSU loses to either Arkansas or Georgia
-
they should have taken the "dirt path from home to the mound" idea to it's logical extreme, making paths to 2nd, shortstop and all 3 OF positions
-
Yeah, as derwood said, People have said that for 20 years, and it's still here, and still getting stronger. It's here to stay. Getting stronger? that's what Kanye told me

Meph, have fun banging your head against the wall every year. the only metric that will ever matter in college football is wins and losses.
