1 day 55 min ago Your thoughtful and reasoned

Your thoughtful and reasoned analysis about MSU's potential for the 2012 season has no place on this board.

As penance, I decree you must say 40 "Sparty Sucks! LOL!"'s.
1 day 1 hour ago One thing to keep in mind

One thing to keep in mind re: any Phil Steele B1G stuff...he is a major OSU slappy.

Steele grew up (and still resides) in Cleveland, OH and is a diehard Buckeye fan. He claims impartiality when putting together anything B1G and OSU related, but his true colors come shining through pretty clearly.

This is a great example of why the +5 limit for upvotes sucks. I would spam upvote this comment for weeks if possible.
6 days 15 hours ago Have people forgotten that

Have people forgotten that USC sucked balls for at least a decade before Slippery Pete and his cadre of cheaters got to USC? USC doesn't automatically get awesome players simply because they are USC. UCLA has most of the same advantages that people list for USC and they usually suck.

USC is still prospering from the decade of awesomeness they enjoyed under Carroll that was built on buying the best recruits in the country (Bush, McKnight, RoJo, Nick Perry...they ALL got paid). The current high school kids who are choosing USC are doing so largely because USC bought a MNC and several top 5 finishes.

The unfortunate truth is that it pretty much always pays to cheat in CFB. The benefits one enjoys in national exposure and the concomitant benefits in recruiting far outweigh the minor punishments handed down by the NCAA.

Just out of curiosity: How should we read your posts? What kind of voice does your avatar (llama? alpaca?) have?

Personally, I've always imagined it to sound like Katharine Hepburn. Was I close?

I have a feeling that Wyatt Shallman will end up playing something other than RB at UM.

You are aware that Perry and RoJo were both paid to go to USC, right? If USC is still providing "fringe benefits" to its recruits then UM is probably SOL in the Ty Isaac recruitment.

It is tough for me to believe that Brian would show up to a church ceremony...at all. I've always had this image in my mind of Brian as a devout Atheist-type. My worldview has taken a severe blow this morning.
1 week 5 days ago Have you looked at OSU's

Have you looked at OSU's schedule for 2012? A ten win regular season is not that far-fetched for the Bucks. I think people need to remember that last season was an aberration. OSU is not going to suddenly start sucking at football. They are still loaded with plenty of talent; last year was simply a train wreck of a season with all of the distractions.

OSU's 2012 schedule:

  • Miami (OH) == win
  • Central Florida == win
  • California == win (Cal is "meh" and they will be coming all the way across country)
  • Alabama-Birmingham == win
  • @ Michigan State == likely loss (maybe just a toss up though)
  • Nebraska == win
  • @ Indiana == win
  • Purdue == win
  • @ Penn State == toss up
  • Illinois == win
  • @ Wisconsin == likely loss
  • Michigan == toss up

That is 8 easy wins, two 50-50 toss ups and two likely losses as a worst case scenario. 10 wins is VERY much in play for OSU next season.

One guy thought we would lose to Bama, ND and 3 conference games.

Ummm....that is not really that implausible. I'm pretty sure UM will be a big underdog against Bama, an underdog against ND (night game in South Bend) and a likely underdog at Nebraska and at OSU (yes, sorry to inform you, but OSU is going to be good in 2012...). Throw in games against MSU and Iowa in AA, two teams UM has made a habit of losing to over the last 4 years and that "troll-ish" prediction isn't all that far out.

I'm thinking UM will finish 8-4 with losses against Bama, ND and two conference games from: @Nebraska, @OSU, MSU and Iowa. However, I wouldn't be shocked to see UM finish 7-5 next season. I'll be thrilled if UM goes 9-3, personally.
