    But at least they have a 600 foot tall arch

    I think USC proved that a team with a very goood defense could beat them. Here's hoping Penn State gets a chance to prove that
  3. Derwood
    Penn State going to the title game after 3 or 4 years of calls for JoePa's head would be one of the greatest stories in the history of college football IMHO. hey at least there's hope for Illinois if Penn State can recover from that mess they had a few years ago :wink: You think Zook can recruit like JoePa?

    What a frigging mess. I SOOOO hope USC loses tonight. That would be really unbelievable

    Well, well, well. Look what former Big 10 scrub team is going to be #3 in the BCS on Monday! Now if only Texas can lose, we might see Penn State in the Rose Bowl yet! God d### I love having a team that can actually win every week (especially after suffering through the Cubs this summer).

    Unfortunately for fans of Oregon, VT, etc., the bowl comittees are as biased as you are. I think if it comes down to one 2-loss team getting an at-large, you can't argue ND over OSU. Ohio State lost at home to a potentially 12-0 team, and on the road to a 10-1 team. Similar debate can be made with PSU and Miami. Which loss was worse, Miami losing to FSU, or Penn State to Michigan? Tough call. I think the worst thing that could happen to ND is for no more 0 or 1-loss teams to lose, because they wouldn't have a team fall behind them for "losing late". You may still get your dream of a ND vs. OSU matchup, it just may not be in a BCS game ;)

    Why is every single USC game (minus ND) at night? I swear their games never start before 10:15pm ET.
  8. Derwood
    I agree, but I definitely think OSU deserves it. There simply aren't enough 1-loss teams to take all of the at-larges are there? OSU's 9-2 is much more impressive than ND's in my opinion. OSU lost to two top 5 teams with one of them coming on the road. ND lost to the #1 team at home, but also lost to a 5-6 team at home. Oregon's only loss came to USC. Virgina Tech's only loss is to the #3 team. You could possibly have a 2nd place 10-1 team (Oregon), but an ACC team with 1 loss may not even make the championship game (Va Tech), while the SEC Champ could have 2 losses as well. That's when it becomes a free for all. Plus either West Virginia or South Florida will get one of the automatic bids, which really farks things up. In summary, you could end up with at least: USC Texas PSU ACC Champ (1-loss) SEC Champ (at least 1-loss) Big East Champ Oregon ACC runner up (2-loss) Va Tech (if they tie with Miami, they miss the conference title game against FSU) SEC runner up (at least 2-loss....Bama, Georgia, LSU, Auburn?) OSU (9-2) ND (9-2)

    Mike Tirico (sp?) was pretty against ND making a BCS game as they discussed it during the PSU/Mich St. game. He argued that with all the 1-loss teams out there, ND's loss to a 5-6 Mich St. team should keep them out. He even argued that OSU shouldn't get in despite it's losses being to the #2 and #4 teams in the BCS standings. Would be a shame if Va Tech, Georgia or Oregon were bypassed for ND in my opinion.
  10. Derwood
    OSU just did to Michigan what Michigan did to Penn State. You keep them from driving the length of the field and you win. Didn't happen
  11. Derwood
    It's total BS, I'll agree with you on that Derwood. FG Fitzpatrick. It's his final game at ND Stadium along with many other great ones. 24-3 Irish. Do bowl tie-ins allow the Fiesta to have 2 at-large teams?
  12. Derwood
    Penn State blocks a punt for a TD! 10-0 Lions! RRRROOOOOAAARRRR!
  13. Derwood
    So is the assumption that if PSU wins and Miami wins out, we'll see ND vs. O$U in the Fiesta and PSU vs. Miami in the Orange? I hate the idea of playing a Miami home game for a "neutral site" game.
  14. Derwood
    Shame on you!

    If you looked at my CD collection, you'd see all of those genres plus 20 more

    I've read in several places that there is no way Seattle trades Ichiro. Their Asian-American popularity with him is a huge part of their revenue stream. They would be comitting financial suicide if they moved him.

    I am SOOOO tempted to host this thing off site. If only I had the bandwidth...

    Apparently so. There's a rather detailed discussion of sexuality in Rants that is decidedly adult in nature, yet that goes on unabated. I don't understand why some plainly adult discussions are allowed to flourish while the whole HCP was obliterated, right down to the fracking cartoon edition. I don't think it was so much the pictures as the vulgar commentary. Even I thought it was a little graphic and I'm pretty permissive about that stuff. That said, the discussion in the sexuality thread is just as graphic, but its perceived philosophical qualities makes it more allowable. Are we talking about the homosexuality thread? If so, most of us are discussing it philosophically. I think there are only 1 or 2 posts that desribe anything of a physically sexual nature.

    ESPN's bottom line says 2 years. I'm hoping $11mil means a club option for a 3rd year? If not, that's Closer money...
  20. Derwood
    Wrong

    Cold = bad. Cold=dark (it's already pitch black by 5pm here with over a month till the official shortest day of the year.) Cold=bad driving conditions Cold=high heating bills Cold=Shoveling snow (give me lawn mowing any day)

    How do you spell it then? Corey patterson? Cory Paterson? Corey Paterson? Kory Patursun? The correct spelling is Jerome Walton. I thought it was Damon Buford

    Here's what is scary about Eyre: ERAs in 2000, 2002, 2004: 6.63, 4.46, 4.10 ERAs in 2001, 2003, 2005: 3.45, 3.32, 2.63 Last I looked, 2006 is considered an even numbered year. The lefty version of Farnsworth?

    And sadly, someone will pay that

    except that the Yankees were rumored to have gone after Giles should the Matsui dealhave fallen through
