  1. So you discredit South Carolina for having one signature win, but Oregon's fine as a Top 15 team, even though their second best win will have, at most, 7 wins? That makes sense. I don't think I said anything about Oregon. I'm merely commenting on how I think Arkansas has been overrated. "Three top 15 wins" includes Oregon.

  3. Boycotting over the concept of QB wins.
  4. Looks like Garrett Uekman had an enarged heart.
  5. Unverified report I heard was he was playing video games and had an aneurysm. Regardless of the actual cause, it's a sad situation.
  6. The Dolphins actually have a positive point differential on the season as of this moment. That's pretty exceptional for a team trying to get to 3-7 on the season. Yeah, that's pretty unusual, but they always played better than their record. None of their losses were blowouts. They lost 3 games by a total of seven points, and led all three 8 or less minutes left to go. They were missing important personnel in all three games, as well. They could easily have a winning record after this game with a little luck here and there. I said they were better than Buffalo before the season, and I've seen nothing that should change my mind about that...especially today.
  7. RE: the bolded, I'm trying to recall this ever happening that didn't involve the jumping team playing in a conference title game, and I got nothing.
  8. Hey, what do you know, the Dolphins are pretty good when their whole team shows up on the same day.
  9. Reason #7384791348 the BCS is stupid: There is a not entirely far-fetched scenario in which two of LSU, Alabama, and Arkansas do not make a BCS bowl, but a 7-win UCLA does.
  10. i was thinking the same thing; a player can't really be much more outstanding or valuable to their team than he's been 4 games over 400 yards, 8 with 3+ td passes. After Luck I would take him as the 2nd QB in the draft. I think he's going #2. I'd rather have him than Barkley. I love what Griffin's done, but I still think I'd rather have Barkley. Despite his age, I think Weeden should be in the conversation as well. Could make an argument for any of them as the 2nd best QB prospect. Weeden is no Chris Weinke, but I don't think his tools and development are at a level where he's anywhere near the #2 available QB prospect.
  11. "They?" Also, as weird as it is to say about him, Petrino is going nowhere. Arkansas needs Alabama to either lose have the lowest BCS ranking of the SEC West trio to go to the title game if they win.
  12. I like how this was bizarrely similar to the end of the USC-Oregon game. Also Come on, Baylor, don't screw this up.
  13. If Arkansas beats LSU and Alabama beats Auburn, all three are 11-1 and it goes to the 7th tiebreaker, which is BCS rankings. However, if they're within 5 spots of one another, then it's head to head between the top two.
  14. I think you mean Curso
  15. Rooting for USC and Baylor in order to create the stupidest 1-2-3 of the BCS era.
  16. Isn't "the official at the university in charge of police" Schultz?
  17. I've been meaning to say something like this as well. It's one thing to discuss amongst your friends how much your life would be screwed up if this happened, but these writers who keep talking about the miserable lives all of the victims must now have have gone overboard. I think half of them would be disappointed to learn that several of the guys have adjusted to life post-rape. It's kind of a balancing act. There are actually people (extremely, immeasurably stupid people, but people nonetheless) who think that because the kids didn't get killed and time has passed that they should be over it by now. While it's not fair to paint the victims as being totally hopeless and useless, it is pretty important for people to understand the lasting effects of abuse.
  18. Here's that punt return from earlier. http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=7226457
  19. Man, wait until you see the replay of this Joe Adams punt return.
  20. Actually, no. The grand jury report Is McQueary to Paterno Saturday, Paterno to Curley Sunday, Curley and Schultz to McQueary 10 days later, Curley and Schultz to Spanier some indefinite time frame after that.
  21. It was Joe Sarra, not Sandusky. But I'm sure that won't stop the conspiracy nuts, like anyone who infers Gricar was murdered as part of a coverup (he is most likely still alive). Rabble rabble away! Not to get too far off the beaten path, but I would love to know your rationale for this.
  22. Yeah, I can't make any sense of it. It can't be because of his cooperation because Paterno was cooperative. What reason could it be?
  23. Sandusky is obvious. McQueary is the more interesting question. Was it denial? Was he instructed to keep quiet? Was he threatened? Did he think he was protecting the program? Is it obvious? I don't know how much he knew, about the process, but you have to assume he knew something if they told him not to bring kids on campus anymore. If, as the testimony suggests, he did know McQueary saw him, then he has to know McQueary turned him in. I guess he has to act like nothing happened, but that's still...I don't even know what to think about that dynamic. For McQueary's part, I just don't understand how anybody who witnessed a man raping a child could go to work, for that long, even, at the place where he witnessed it knowing the offender was walking around scott-free, often accompanied by children. Far more than his reaction in the spur of the moment, which could be influenced by fear, shock and disbelief, this is what I can't justify.
  24. The part I just can't resolve is how Sandusky and McQueary have been just walking around campus for nearly a decade like nothing happened.
  25. Yeah, but rivalry games don't always conform to logic or expectations. Wouldn't put it past Arkansas to take it, though LSU would certainly be the favorite.
