These games are usually sold out rather quickly. They are a good chance for us Europeans to see football in person without having to fly to the US. Last Lions game I watched was in 2007, so I'm really looking forward to it.
I work in Vaduz. But I call it four out of fakes of you ever being here, since you consider it a nice little town :-) I'm in Luzern from time to time since my sister-in-law lives there.
Beginning in 2014, Notre Dame will be eligible to be selected for any ACC bowl as long as its overall record is within one of the bowl-eligible ACC schools.
For example, an 8-4 Notre Dame could not be selected over a 10-2 ACC team, but could be selected over a 9-3 or worse ACC team.
So the ACC pretty much screwed themselves. First they pile up losses when playing ND and because of that ND gets picked by a bowl over an ACC team.
Mizzou might, but Vandy is probably a total longshot. Since the SEC is the only major conference without an exit fee or with a GoR, I don't think its a pipe dream. It's the most inexpensive way to get AAU members into the conference. I think it will happen now or never, since the GoR of the ACC will make the SEC think about one very hard.
"As a sidenote, two sources have told The World-Herald that the Big Ten has done prior “homework” on Oklahoma, Kansas and Vanderbilt among other schools who might some day be expansion targets."
This means Mizzou and Vandy to the B1G, both going to the West and Purdue gets moved to the East. Split the whole B1G according to timezones and also loose the last protected rivalery.
For the sake of playing as many B1G teams as possible, they should loose the protected rivalries. If Sparty wants to bolt for the West, they better not expect to play us every year.
What I don't get : There are 125 FBS football members. Four superconferences with up to 20 members each and a guaranteed spot in a four team playoff for the FBS football champion will leave a minimum of 45 teams without a chance to become the FBS football champion. If that doesn't sound like a lawsuit just waiting to happen I don't know what does. How are they going to deal with this? The highest ranked non-superconference team takes the spot of the worst ranked superconference champion if it's ranked higher than that champion?

Lions don't have a pick in the 5th.

Very lucky in the end, guy should have made that.

Just bought my ticket for the game in London. Just hope not to see the Same Old Lions.

Since I live in Liechtenstein I might be able to help out ;-)
Awesone, maybe the best 20 bucks I've spent in my life.
Two-deep attrition or guys looking for playing time elsewhere?
Me too, if it weren't for 6013.1 miles.
^^ That's what she says in the linked video. I'm not from Syracuse (thank god).
I was born in Syracuse, New York, "Go Orange!"

Guys, please give me a break, because a) English is not my native tongue and b) I was in a hurry to start the thread :-)

A 7-5 now would piss me off more than a 3-9 under RR.
It ain't over till the fat lady sings.
They are voting for a 9 game schedule starting 2016 and not 2014.
OK = NO AAU = No B1G
KU = B12 = GoR = No B1G
Vandy = SEC = NO GoR and no Exit Fee = Maybe B1G
Mizzou = SEC = NO GoR and no Exit Fee = Maybe B1G

You forgot the velcro :-)
Hope the Lions draft Denard for them to have an eternal smile watch over Detroit.
You can do to your pants whatever you desire. Just put it up there to warn people from doing it completely in vain ;-)
Thank God!
I don't think UNC will join as #15 or #16. They might as #17 or #18 if other ACC-teams joined before them.
Any update out yet?
This is false information. Kentucky merely offered him. If he's serious about playing football instead of basketball, he isn't going there.
For the sake of playing as many B1G teams as possible, they should loose the protected rivalries. If Sparty wants to bolt for the West, they better not expect to play us every year.
He was the first. The early enrolees where just listed first.
All expected LOI are in, now waiting for the signing day surprise :-)

Thoughts?
208 more rushing yards is all he needs.
I'd prefer East - West Divisions for the above reasons as well.
Why not do the whole thing with two more schools and pick between Kansas , Georgia Tech, Virginia and North Carolina?
I somehow think that we never have to deal with 14 teams since the B1G will poach two more teams to join at the same time as Rutgers and Maryland.
First of all, as a European and as a guy that follows the Tigers very, very closely: I despise your thread title ;-)
That set aside: Just tell the guy this is your Córdoba*. Nuff said, he will let you go, trust me.

Time to drop ND from these rankings.
