McCoy throws a pick with just under 1:30 left. The clock ran down to around 55 seconds left due to the change of possession rule. Texas has 3 timeouts left though.

Texas A&M up 12-7 on Texas with 2:32 left in the game. This would be huge for Oklahoma. The game's on ABC.

Great blitz call.

I need them to lose so the Big East still has a chance but I just can't root against them! Yeah, it should be interesting. I've seen a couple bowl projections that have Arkansas getting the automatic SEC bid and the Big East getting both Louisville and WVU in BCS games. ETA: If you want 2 Big East teams you should also be hoping for Nevada to take down Boise State.

:cry: They shot 6-7 3 pointers and 63% at halftime. Hopefully that will balance out some. Only down 7 now. Missouri State held on for the victory.

Preparing for an Arkansas victory.

Don't you think it helps that Wisconsin had more and better bowl tie-ins by playing in the Big 11 that Louisville didn't by playing in C-USA? better bowls better competition in those bowls more wins. nice try, but when Louisville is losing to Colorado State and Boise State and Miami of Ohio and Marshal while Wisconsin is beating UCLA, the last good Colorado team, and Auburn, I think it's pretty damn obvious which is the better program. All of that doesn't have any affect on which team is better this year. And it's still not fair to compare a team that is clearly on the rise - and one that has not only just joined a major conference but is a WVU win over Rutgers away from winning the conference title - against a team that has been in a major conference for years. You obviously don't get it. Being in a major conference not only gets you better matchups (just within your conference) but more television time and better bowl tie ins. All three of those factors help to get you better recruits because you have more to sell to them. The fact that Louisville just joined a major conference and is already a National Title contender is remarkable in of itself.

even if it was somehow Wisconsin's fault for not playing OSU, doesn't the blame for the week schedule go at least in part to Iowa and Penn State? it's not the Badgers fault that the pre-season 16 and 19 ranked team in the country fell on their faces this year. It's not their fault for not playing OSU and the Big 10 being crap this year. But it is their fault for scheduling Bowling Green, Western Illinois, San Diego State, Buffalo with only Bowling Green haing any chance of being even semi-good. No teams from a major conference in the OOC schedule. That is their fault.

Of the players that have signed already, my first instinct says GMJ or Pierre. Potential pitching busts, as has been stated, depends on where the FA pitchers sign.

ZERO EMPATHY FOR IMB!! being a Sooner fan was a bad decision and their players and coaches made bad decisions during that game. That still doesn't change the fact that the refs screwed up and Oklahoma should have been awarded possession on the onsides kick.

Is there any way we can check if he's still alive?

This statement just had to be quoted again.

Detriot's not looking too good.

The problem is you are talking about one year. I know I'm only talking about one year, that's why I looked for consistency within the year. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect future performance at least as good as his worst month in that one year. I'll take consistency over a career instead of over a year. He may have been consistent this year but his career stats, and the fact that he's 32, tell a better story.

I have to ask, was this intentional?

:pukel: Nay

Addai for sure and probably Jones-Drew. I would avoid Parker seeing as Baltimore has the third best run defense in the league.

Mark, you skipped the Minnesota-Arizona game in your picks.

They are in a conference and since the Big East is so terrible ND wouldn't even have to play their starters all year. Why not just make the Big 10 the real Big 10 and have Penn State and ND join the Big East. Not sure you pull Penn State out after 13 years in the conference. Whatever will become of the storied Land Grant Trophy game? And from my own biased perspective, I wouldn't want Penn State to have to deal with the BS that WVU, Louisville, etc. have this year. "Yeah, PSU is 10-1, but who did they beat? Pitt? South Florida? Rutgers?" Forget it. They have the recruiting power to hang in the Big 10 and I like the challenge Are you serious? ND and Penn State plus what's already in the Big East? In any given year it could be the top conference in college football. I do think that big rivalry game Penn State vs Michigan St is a good as it gets. Way better than a Pitt/Penn State game. Also, if Penn State were in the Big East this year they would have had anywhere from 2 to 4 losses in the Conference alone. Lets see how those 3 teams can sustain it over more than 2-3 years (UL, WVU, RU). Louisville is all about Brohm. Take him away and its nothing special. Sure they have a very good offensive coach but what else do they got. They havent recruited a high profile QB since Brohm. Sharp decline coming in my estimation. Rutgers, waay to early to tell. WVU has a mickey mouse offense with 2 very special players, how sustainable is that system in the long run? Their defense is poor. Wiscosin, Iowa, Purdue have shown they can at least sustain consistant success. UM and OSU have never had as strong programs as both they have right now. Louisville isn't all about Brohm. In 2004, Louisville went 11-1 - with their only loss being by 3 points at Miami - with Stefan LeFors at quarterback. Brohm didn't play much that year. So they have had a good team without Brohm as QB. This is also their fourth straight year with more than 9 wins (they went 9-4 in 2003). WVU and Rutgers, yes they have something to prove. But Louisville has been a solid football program for a couple years now. Bobby Petrino is a very good coach and I don't see Louisville going anywhere.

Gateway Redbirds suckered me in as well.

I realize this is 2 days after the fact but I just couldn't resist. GO LAKERS!! That is all.

You know he signed that deal at 28 and will be 36 when it's done. I'm pretty sure he was 36 when he signed it, 44 when it's done. The Cardinals thought it weird that one of his contract demands was to be paid in Confederate dollars. I thought he wanted to be paid in shekles. Would he get a free supply of HGH for the duration of his contract as well?
