  1. Isn't the B1G champion locked into the Rose if they don't make the playoff? I know normally those slots go to 'highest ranked team outside the playoff', but I think that's under the assumption that the champ is in the playoff. No I think that changed but I could be wrong. They were talking about how if Michigan was selected for the Rose Bowl and Colorado was the Pac 12 champ but didn't make the playoff, they might switch out Colorado so there wouldn't be a rematch. Either way, if for some reason the Rose Bowl selected Michigan over Penn State, PSU would almost certainly be selected for the Orange Bowl and play Florida State or Louisville instead of playing Washington, Colorado or USC. I'm hearing speculation that PSU would play W. Michigan in a bowl (puke)
  2. Someone smarter than me distill this down and explain it http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/mlb-analytics-guru-who-could-be-the-next-nate-silver-has-a-revolutionary-new-stat/
  3. I'm just happy to see that the All Star Gane no longer determines home field advantage
  4. The only thing that would really kiss me off is if Penn State wins but they pick Michigan for the Rose Bowl instead
  5. CBJ just completed their best November in team history (9-2-3, 21 points). Don't know what clicked for them this season, but they are playing great
  6. That's $1.6 million per Federalist Paper
  7. I think I may have Jay's autograph from his A-ball year but can't remember if he was on the Spikes or went directly to Full Season A
  8. whoa. that's gotta be a record for a hitter, right? Isn't Stanton's AAV higher?
  9. Brazilian team Chapecoense involved in fatal plane crash http://www.espnfc.com/chapecoense-af/story/3007152/plane-flying-chapecoense-to-copa-sudamericana-final-crashes-in-colombia
  10. Don't get your hopes up, though. They aren't going to take a two-loss non-champ (UM) unless a whole lot of crap goes wonky on Saturday
  11. Lol I can't see any way 3 big ten teams get in especially when 2 of them didn't even play in the conference title game. I've been seeing Michigan Twitter coming up with scenarios where Michigan gets in but while they seem plausible I'm not going to get my hopes up at all. It's not happening For me, Michigan should be ahead of Penn State unless Penn St annihilates Wisconsin similar to what OSU did a couple years ago. At least by score, Wisconsin and Michigan were close. But Penn State winning a conference title doesn't outweigh a 49-10 beating. They lost to Iowa so that argument is moot. Penn State has just one conference loss to Michigan's two. PSU's second loss was a 3 point loss to Pitt back in week two. I don't think the Michigan head to head win holds up if PSU beats Wisconsin
  12. Yeah after he was attacked by the fan Probably, but the athlete is always going to get called out as the bad guy in that sort of situation
  13. Jabrill Peppers punch/face-shoved a fan after the game http://www.elevenwarriors.com/college-football/2016/11/77258/video-michigans-jabrill-peppers-punches-ohio-state-fan-after-losing-in-double-overtime
  14. Pitt played Syracuse today and a basketball game broke out http://www.espn.com/college-football/boxscore?gameId=400869500
  15. Well, Penn State, don't horsefeathers this up
  16. About theee weeks ago. He has the yips and can't complete anything
  17. Houston's QB went 47/67 for nearly 500 yards in the Cougar's loss.
  18. Hah. I've watched like one quarter of UCLA football (and watched no Bears football and about 2 minutes of Bulls basketball) ever since the playoffs started. Still can't get invested. I don't know how anyone can care about the Bears at all this year.
  19. The Red Turds?
  20. my favorite HCCF'ism was actually this one. http://www.northsidebaseball.com/archive/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=53971&p=2167288 i also liked his story where he told a story about rolling rocks at a rattlesnake to try to get it to move, it snapped at him, then he got offended because someone told him that he should've been bitten and everyone called him an idiot for provoking a poisonous snake. hahahahah he's a real underrated classic I think that was right after his house burned down
  21. J.T. Barrett has completely forgotten how to throw a football, which doesn't bode well for OSU unless they plan on trying to win with only 87 yards passing again
  22. WTF was he thinking? When did Peter Gammons start running sound for NFL games?
  23. If they make replicas, is that what Brian Matusz will get?
  24. I don't think Penn State will be in the discussion at all. But this is shaping up to be a chaotic playoff selection which is great if you want to see them expand to eight teams. Hearing them say how much they weigh winning conference championship games, but then picking a non-champ over the champ (who beat the non-champ) creates enough controversy to grease the skids for an eight game playoff (eventually)
