  1. Not when they played each other last year IMO. I just think there should be rotation and unless it's 110% obvious that two teams are the best in their leagues two years in a row they shouldn't play each other. Even then I would prefer to alternate.
  2. Why you getting your panties in a bunch? Nobody is trying to rub in your face that you were wrong. And I think plenty of people would want to see a matchup of top 10 teams if IU and NC St. both happen to be that in December. 4 out of the next 5 posts were pointing it out... I was just admitting the mistake. 'Nobody' was hyperbole, but I still think UNC / IU is always a bigger draw than NC St. / IU, unless one of the sides is going to be clearly inferior. Plus, rankings at the start of the year aren't always the greatest.
  3. They don't do repeat matchups that I'm aware of. Except Illinois has played Maryland 8 billion times. Just in 2001, 2004, 2006, 2007 and 2011... That's just stupid. Why do that? I guess I never paid attention because Purdue hasn't played the same team two years in a row, though we've played Clemson twice (three times counting this year) we've played 8 different teams total. I looked back and Illinois has only played 5 teams (6 after this year), despite playing two additional years.
  4. Ok... teams play repeat opponents.... that's kind of lame, and nobody wants to see an IU / NC St. rematch...
  5. They don't do repeat matchups that I'm aware of. 2008 and 2009, Michigan St. and UNC played in the challenge. 06 and 07 for Ohio St. v. UNC. Ok, twice out of how many years X teams involved? Nobody wants to see IU and NC St. except maybe NC St. fans hoping to upset IU. Whenver IU is on top they're going to be getting UNC/Duke because of the money involved.
  6. They don't do repeat matchups that I'm aware of.
  7. DAMN. UNC. How do they determine these matchups? Do they try to evenly match them based on what the teams will be like that year, or based on the previous year? It's obviously not random. I believe it's a little of both with no published 'formula'. UNC just lost most of their starters to the NBA didn't they? It should be a cake walk for the Hoo Hoo Hoosiers at the Hall of Calls. Probably won't even be within 10.
  8. B1G / ACC Challenge matchups announced. Minnesota at Florida State North Carolina at Indiana North Carolina State at Michigan Maryland at Northwestern Iowa at Virginia Tech Nebraska at Wake Forest Purdue at Clemson Ohio State at Duke Georgia Tech at Illinois Michigan State at Miami Boston College at Penn State Virginia at Wisconsin I like the B1G's chances again.
  9. Julius Mays was all set to transfer to Purdue and start at PG next year and then Coach Cal stepped in. I can't wait for Kentucky to burn (again).
  10. visiting sulley? Oh God, Fond du Lac. What an awful place. It's right up down there with Plymouth and Sheboygan. At least Plymouth is right next to Road America.
  11. I'm beginning to think we should start blaming you personally.
  12. That was quite enjoyable watching with my future father in law, a Brewers fan. Let's hope the pen handles their business.
  13. Lamar Odom is on a pro cation.
  14. http://www.thesportsbank.net/core/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/fearthedeer.jpg
  15. Milwaukee fan trolling Bulls fans on a Chicago Cubs message board. Laughable. Longing for the Lew Alcindor years. I always pee on the seats at the Bradley center when I get free Bucks tickets.
