I agree. I think there are better jobs out there that would have come calling. Don't know if USC would have come after him, but with another year under his belt or maybe two more games (depending on how the rest of this season goes) there could have been other bigger schools giving him a call.

Sha-Bla-Goo!!

I downloaded it last night and played around with it a little. I had no problems with it installing and so far it has been really good. I had Windows 7 before the upgrade and I think it's a good combo of that and what they released in Windows 8.1, which I have a little experience using at work. 

Definitely recommend the free upgrade if you can get it.

There's a very interesting video about this:

Yeah it started out hella slow, but the last episode was promising.

Just like others have said though, I don't think it is enough time to see these characters properly developed. 

I guess we will see where we end this season...

I think it all goes along with what Brian said about him being flaky.

He's probably going back and forth about it and it will all come down to chance, perhaps what he had for breakfast one morning (ha)

I just think we should all buckle in and ride this one out. We're not going to know until we know, and that's just the way the cookie crumbles.

The Big 12 will be kicking themselves after all this when both of their "Co-Champions" are left out. 

Maybe he will be the anti-brandon and take a less involved approach, allowing those underneath him to do their jobs and make most of the decisions while he evaluates. 

At this point, I don't think there is enough evidence to say that this is a bad thing. We will know more in the coming weeks based on whether he fires Hoke and who he eventually hires to replace Hoke.

That was a soft play call. Can not believe they didn't go for it there.

I could care less about this game for the "Harbaugh factor" and more just because it is a football game on a weekday I can enjoy after a rough work day. 

I'll root for the Niners, though.

This is a huge move. But I wonder how it all goes down.

I wonder if the NCAA will still have the right to determine how to distribute it to the athletes.

Can we please send this man away?

Johnny Fucking Football, baby! Yesss...

No Wide Recievers either.

Probably has more to do with the rise of the spread and a greater focus on the quarterback in the offense. 

I have to imagine that passing yards plus rushing yards for QB's has been much greater than it ever has in the past. 

Part of me really enjoys the karma that Nebraska is recieving. Part of me though wonders whether I'd really want to play A&M over Georgia in the bowl game...

Amazing how easy it is to spot empty seats in a blue stadium containing red and white. How embarrassing that almost whole sections are empty.

All the more reason to have the championship game as a home game to the better team.

FOX

Yep. I've noticed this too. I'm sure they can fix it.

Aaaand Scene.

Ok see I didn't know the technicalities of it, thank you for clearing that up.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Nebraska beat us, thereby giving them the tiebreaker?

Is it because Ohio beat them, and we're going to beat Ohio tomorrow?

My question to you about your division splits is, do you think the schools in the Northwest/East division would think it's fair that they would literally have to fly almost cross country to their away games while teams in the central division could basically drive to theirs?

I love the split and I think it's perfect, but I wonder if travel costs would prevent something like this. Just wondering your opinion.

Definitely voted no. No need to dilute the brand and make the conference bigger and weaker at the same time. I just don't understand what the big wigs are thinking when they do this. 

I think college athletics (Especially the revenue sports) are in a bubble now. It won't be very long till that bubble pops and at this current rate I fear what college athletics will look like not even 5-7 years from now.

Borges > Fickell 

I'm ok with it. Now Ohio has to prepare for it. They have to prepare as if Denard is going to be the starting QB. They have to prepare for Devin as if he's going to be the starting QB. They also have to prepare as if Denard is going to play. Regardless, they'll be busy this week in practice.

I want some blood shed. OHIO should be left battered. BEAT OHIO

We need MSU to at least win against Nebraska next week. That will definitely help us out regardless of the win tonight.

I see what you did there. lol

I don't know where you are located, but East Lansing is Northwest of Ann Arbor.

Of course this is just a prick from the center of the universe talking...

Touche

So far, MSU is looking really one dimensional.

Wow. Yakety Sax to the max.

Don't forget the Flint Tropics and Jackie Moon.

Former Saline Hornet myself and I was on the Saline middle school coaching staff last year, I have to say this is awesome. 

I had a chance to meet Palka and he seems like a good fit. Very different from the previous regime and honestly I can see him taking Saline places with the right moves.

He has done quite a bit to hire in guys with college coaching or college playing experience so I think that will have a positive effect on the kids. Hiring in Koger is a great move. I don't know if he's getting paid enough to make a living (like some have mentioned on here), but the experience is second to none. I'm actually jealous of those players, to be coached by a former UofM player is quite a treat!

Says you.

If that is "borderline unattractive" to you, then I'd hate to see what the rest of your scale is based on.

Leave it to the internet to be unrestrictively judgemental...

"Enjoy your bowl this year, guys."

Snap!

While the gun was probably a bit excessive, I kind of agree with the father.

I'm sorry, but kids these days need to be put in their place. I realize it is not the 1950's or 1960's or whatever time period anymore, but parents are big softies for discipline now and it shows. While the daughter being upset with her parents is typical, it's more or so the attitudes they take with other authority figures that is bothersome. Trust me, as a teacher these kids have no respect for anyone but themselves and their peers, and  many of their parents just let it go.

As to it being "wrong" for the dad to take it to a public forum, I think that's horse manure. The girl needs to learn that if she's going to go public with something so personal, that it can go the other way too. And that goes for anything, not just family disputes. For her to think it's ok to post anything on facebook and see no retribution is just letting her go down the wrong road.

I know that's not popular opinion here, but I guess hater's gonna hate :)

Wait... San Diego State to the Big East? You have got to be kidding me. Where was I when this happened??

Actually saw him at the Heidelberg about a week ago. We actually sat at the same table. Guy seemed to be doing well, he had a chick that he was talking to and I honestly think he was talking to another football player, but I don't know who it was.

We actually went to the same high school and I just missed playing varsity with him by one year. But he knew someone in my group and we exchanged pleasantries.

So yeah that's all I got. Cool story, Bro?

I met Taylor and Craig Roh at the Heidelberg a couple weeks ago. Both dudes are huge but both were very cool and down to earth.

I literally fell out of my chair balling in laughter.

10,000 points to you good sir.
