20 hours 33 min ago Don't

Don't bet on obscure foreign sports game is the theme I took from this article. If you can't get enough action at a Vegas sports book, you should seek help.
1 day 4 hours ago The thing people forget

The thing people forget is that Jeff Long hired Petrino and everybody knew he was slime.

I don't know why he keeps getting kudos for a terrible hire that he had to fire....
2 days 58 min ago Thanks

Thanks for that explanation.

I agree with bacon, the Moore movies were weird and un-Bondlike to me. At least that makes a lot of sense.

I also agree with you on Quantum of Solace being a little disappointing; you may be right about having the wrong director. I still enjoy the Daniel Craig versions because of their lack of gadgets. Gadgets are fun, but I like the increased focus on Bond being a good detective and general badass more than being able to shoot a grappling hook from his watch while driving his BMW from the backseat with a cell phone that doesn't exist.

Scout's Brandon Huffman interviewed him (yesterday?) and Cravens clarified he's down to a four of USC, UCLA, OSU and Michigan with the trips outlined in the OP.

Maybe French cries with his waaaahmburger?

I will be legitimately sad if you leave, Mario, because your posts make me crack up everytime. For serious.

I upvoted all your posts in hope that you will change your mind and +1 for proper use of the meta tag, although this also might fall under the unnecessary complaining tag umbrella.

2 days 18 hours ago I'm with BHGP

I'm with BGHP about Delany. Outside of immediate kneejerk reactions to some of the things that seem to be dumb at the exact moment they occur (Big Ten Network, campus playoff sites, etc.), the only thing I can say he has done that ended poorly is that dumb letter he wrote to the SEC.

Other than that, the Big Ten is safe, unified, and GETTING PAID. We haven't even negotiated our first-tier rights yet with ABC/ESPN and we're still making more than any other conference in the country.

We added a top-tier team to make 12 and didn't have a terrible 14-team schedule problem like the SEC while taking two second-tier programs. CBS doesn't want to renegotiate with the SEC for their new teams unless they go to a 9-game schedule. There will be some very angry SEC fans and boosters when the SEC strikes their TV deal. Mike Slive's expansion is already looking shortsighted to some SEC fans.

Yes, I want playoff sites on campus, but it's not worth fighting that losing battle. Between the bowl lobbyists, southern conferences, and university presidents' resistence to change and fondess for stability, it wasn't going to happen.

Hopefully Delany earned a few favors by dropping the issue and will put them to good use in other battles that will go our way. 
2 days 19 hours ago Ummm...no

No.

The argument being made is that "football is dangerous because it kills players at a faster rate due to depression/suicide (from head trauma) than normal people die from depression/suicide."

Normal people have all sorts of issues. That's the point. If the question was "do football players have higher rates of suicide and depression than healthy people that don't have suicide or depression," we wouldn't need to even do a study.

Besides, I don't think the link between physical trauma and depression has been made clear at all. People are seriously undervaluing the mental aspect of preparing yourself for a life after football when you're entire life leading up to retirement has been football. Then it's gone.

No more fans. No more big checks. No more meaning to what you've done every single day since you were often 11 or 12 years old.
2 days 21 hours ago RIP

RIP Bill Stewart...

...but he did not get the shaft. He probably shouldn't have been hired in the first place but WVU's administration, boosters, and fans were riding some wacky emotional rollercoaster following the loss to Pitt, the loss of RichRod, and the BCS bowl win.

I think it's clear he made his own bed regarding the end of his tenure at West Virginia by leaking inside information about the coach-in-waiting to outside media in an attempt to undercut WVU's succession plan.
