29 weeks 6 days ago	On pom-poms	I understand the negatives on pom-poms, but I have to say that, on TV, when it's a big moment and 7NA is playing and everyone is in rythm, it looks pretty sweet.  It's like the whole stadium is pulsating.
1 year 11 weeks ago	In the UK they show games with opposing calling the games	I think they only do it for games already played, but they get a fan of each team to do a running commentary on the game.  I think its a brilliant concept if you get the right people, though between the idioms and insider knowledge, pretty much everything went over my head the one time I tried to watch it.  Still, I would love to see ESPN try this more with former players of each team, and tell them to go ahead and be as biased, funny, and irreverant as they want.
1 year 18 weeks ago	Reformed Sparty	Dad went to MSU, so growing up in Michigan, I rooted for them, even though my mom was UM and my first cfb experiences were all at Michigan Stadium.  Then we moved to Texas, and one of my few connections to home was M games (MSU not on national TV).  I guess I officially switched with the 89 Rose Bowl.  Then it came time to pick a school, M said yes, Dad said yes, Desmond caught that pass, and it was over.
1 year 32 weeks ago	I assumed, but am not sure I ever had seen confirmation	that David Molk does indeed have teeth.  Nice to seem him smile (and have ample reason to).  I love that kid. Brian, the opening to this post was brilliant.  The more you know about these kids, the more you want to seem them rewarded.  And dammit, if I have to teach 95% of Michigan fans in twenty years how this group of seniors saved Michigan football, I hope I can still link back to these posts to do it.
1 year 32 weeks ago	Also, what the hell has Ga Tech done?	They have no quality wins.  NC State is Minnesota bad.
1 year 32 weeks ago	Auburn is too high	They have not put anyone away, even the bad teams on their schedule.  South Carolina should have had a shot at a tying field goal if not for bad call with the clock and refusal to review.  Not saying they don't deserve to be ranked, but no way should they be above any undefeateds in the 10-15 range.
1 year 33 weeks ago	Love this feature -- one request	Could we get a brief recap of what the previous teams we've played did last week?  Not the full write-up / preview report, but just whether they won or lost and their current record?  Would be nice to get a gauge of our strength of schedule.
2 years 13 hours ago	I doubt the Wings get moved	First, move them where?  They wouldn't get moved to the Southeast, and there is nobody to move out of the Northeast or Atlantic without splitting up the New York area teams or the Pennsylvania teams, which I don't think would be wise. Second, there is a much more natural team to move into the Southeast in Nashville, which aligns better with southern teams like Carolina and the Florida duo than with the midwest. Third, while flying across four time zones is murder during the playoffs, the Wings fit well in the midwestern Central Division with long-time rivalries against Chicago and St. Louis and a burgeoning rivalry with Columbus. More likely, I see three options, none of which involve moving the Wings: 1. Winnipeg to NW, Minnesota to Central, Nashville to SE 2. Winnipeg to NW, Colorado to Pacific, Dallas to Central, Nashville to SE 3. Winnipeg to NW, Colorado to Pacific, Dallas to SE. Personally, I would go with 1, which minimizes moves, is a better fit for all three teams, and brings back most of the old Norris cities.
2 years 5 weeks ago	REK and Morrissey go together like chocolate and peanut butter	Brian, I never would have taken you for a REK fan.  I love that album, especially his vignettes, and that one is my second favorite (behind the guys sitting in the back yard around a window unit air conditioner). And as for hitting bottom, as tough as this loss was, we were there.  In the arena.  Despised, maybe, but relevant.  Hell, I love being despised.  I'll take an OT loss in the national championship (an effective coin toss) over two bowl-less seasons and a decade out of the NCAA Bball tournament.
2 years 40 weeks ago	I second Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer	It's obviously Alabama and SEC focused, but a hilarious read.  My only regret about it is that he really doesn't go into any detail about the end of the '99 season for Bama (a heartbreaking loss (for them) to Michigan in the Orange Bowl).
2 years 40 weeks ago	I got 558.95 as well	143+317+18+58+8+14.95
3 years 38 weeks ago	I recall and Stassen confirmed that Maryland did this with FSU	In 1996, Maryland played its conference home game against Florida State in Miami. They were trounced 48 - 10. Florida State went undefeated that year until losing to National Champion Florida in a rematch of their regular season finale.
