Well at least Delaney has

Well at least Delaney has reassured us that Rutgers will be a national power in a few years....

...ahahahahahaha.

And yes, I think Kent St. should have the opportunity to go, Big East isn't bringing much to the table this year.

Yeah... he would enjoy a game

Yeah... he would enjoy a game that doesn't require any defense...

**yeaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sunglasses*

Exactly, now instead of

Exactly, now instead of seeing 10 HB off center dives on 3rd and 4, we'll get to see 10 FB off center dives a game!

If he is as athletic as every

If he is as athletic as every seems to say he is, with his versatility, could he move to be a slant running wide receiver, kind of a Wes Welker type?

Yeah, but as Boise State and

Yeah, but as Boise State and a bunch of the other Big East teams have shown, you can back out pretty easily.

Big 12 sucks.  Kansas St. is

Big 12 sucks.  Kansas St. is overrated, Texas is horrid and still gets ranked (how can TEXAS be that bad based on pure talent alone?), Oklahoma... yawn.  Okie State will ride off into the sunset after T. Boone passes, Kansas is a basketball school, Iowa State... who cares, Baylor stinks without RGIII (though they do have women's basketball!).

That's exactly what UVa fans

That's exactly what UVa fans said... and look what happened.  The ACC is very comparable to the B1G academically and they've accepted UofL, what makes you think the B1G wouldn't stoop in the future (granted we're on more stable ground), especially if a school presented "a bigger footprint for the BTN".  $ > Academics

If this is true, I am further

If this is true, I am further confused as to why Rutgers was a needed piece to get this thing going.  What % of New Yorkers are fans of Rutgers athletics?  2-3%?  I don't see why those 2% of people would be needed when you have ~70% of the market clammoring to watch the Yankees and willing to take the BTN along with YES.  Likewise, I'd be willing to bet there are more Michigan fans in NY than Rutgers, and combined with the rest of the B1G schools with sizeable alumni bases in the area, the argument for Rutgers is further weakened.

Stupid add which I think is going to hurt the brand in the longrun.  Who needs another.... well shit, even Indiana is good at basketball and Minnesota at hockey.... Purdue?  Congrats Delaney, you just added a school which will be the worst athletic school in the B1G, with no academic benefits either!

What about VT?  I thought

What about VT?  I thought that UVa was tied to VT and that UNC was tied to NC State (and to a lesser extent Duke, granted there could be protected OOC games).  Wouldn't that pose a problem of trying to bring in the flagship University of two schools?  I'd think that state legislators from either VA or NC would pretty much require that UVa or UNC pull along their siblings to make sure they're not lost in the college football musical chairs (less likely for VT, more likely for NC State).

When did this happen?! Seemed like everything was fine last night and it was just a visit to see The Game and not a real visit.  Has anyone asked him on Twitter or seen anything on his Facebook?

Freshman.  Line.  Stellar.  Not three words that are usually used in conjunction....

Speaking of Denard, I was

Speaking of Denard, I was just having a discussion in a college football chat: what is it with dreads?  You look back 5-10 years and very few, if any players have dreads.  Now, it appears as though 5-15% do (especially for some teams).  Is this a new fashion trend or is it special to some area of the country?

Nah, Brown is wierd, kinda

Nah, Brown is wierd, kinda fugly one that no one really cares about... doesn't do much, but since she's in the friend group, it'd just be harder to kick her out than to let her stay around.  Though they really hope she'd start wearing deodorant and at least make herself look presentable.

It's so cute when Cornell

It's so cute when Cornell thinks it's a real part of the Ivy League.  They remind me of the "meh" looking girl in a group of really hot girls at the bar who has to constantly (falsely) re-affirm that "they're pretty too."

This team has shown a lot

This team has shown a lot this season.  Although they're not the most talented or even the most cohesive team, they were never outclassed.  I think next season, with even some more time to get this team prepped on Hoke's philosophy, and barring any significant injuries, should be able to make a real run.  The team only lost to some of the top teams in the nation, and played one bad game against Nebraska, but they always played with pride, swag, and purpose.  I'm proud of this team; don't let the haters get us down!

The honeymoon is over and

The honeymoon is over and we're starting to realize our dream courting period (last year) might be very different from actual marriage.  This is the fight trying to find the airport in Rome when the husband has gotten lost four times already and the wife just wants to ask every non-english speaker for directions.

Doesn't even need to be reviewed, that is a fumble.

Typical ohio fans, cheering

Typical ohio fans, cheering for the man whose actions are currently preventing them from possibly playing in the Big Ten Championship or the BCS... I have so little respect for that inbred, short-sighted fanbase it is remarkable.  They really are a bunch of fools who support a cheating system, a cheating coach, and a cheating team.

Did anyone watch Gameday and

Did anyone watch Gameday and see the ohio players jawing at Michigan and bumping into them as they ran onto the field?  Guess they aren't willing to give up the thug moniker so easily.  Urban can't control his team.

Desmond brought up the Fitz

Desmond brought up the Fitz injury, which got me thinking...  Might changing up the backfield actually help Michigan?  Fitz hasn't had great success this season, and I could see a thunder and lightening combo of Robinson / Rawls really mixing it up and messing with ohio's gameplan.  Especially if the game is low scoring, Rawls can wear them down and Robinson can go for the kill.

Wow.  Sorry I guess I'm not

Wow.  Sorry I guess I'm not usually sad, but my girlfriend broke up with me earlier this week, so I haven't exactly been a ball of fun.

My buddy had that happen to

My buddy had that happen to him too.  Actually, it was somewhat lucky because the AAA guy checked out his car and found out that the gas cap area/gas tank had a bunch of stuff in it (paper, trash, etc).  It could've been really dangerous for both his car and possibly himself.

No I had turkey.  But because

No I had turkey.  But because I'm in a new town and don't know anymore, I got it from Boston Market and ate it at home, alone, watching the Cowboys get destroyed by the Redskins.  So you can understand why I'm a bundle of joy tonight...

I can't even... this day keeps getting better and better.  Wonderful. 

WHAT AN IDIOTIC GARBAGE CALL

WHAT AN IDIOTIC GARBAGE CALL FROM THESE IDIOT OFFICIALS!  THREE POINTS OF HIS BODY WERE DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I HATE THE NFL SO MUCH, GOODELL CAN GO DIE WITH HIS DAMN NEW RULES AND THESE TERRIBLE OFFICIALS!

Give me college football anyday, I am fed up with this increasingly shoddy league.

Sorry OP I appreciate your

Sorry OP I appreciate your effort... but I've learned to value ESPN's "opinions" about as much as any generic, football loving, middle-aged male in the United States.  I swear, you could walk up to the average "slightly-overweight man who occasionally gambles on sports" and get an opinion that is just as good as any brain-damaged, former athlete Communications major at an SEC school or blonde bimbo talking head on ESPN could give you.

Let me guess... west side of

Let me guess... west side of the state... Packers fan? 

Oh, nevermind, from Indy so a Colts fan.  What the new NFL rules (which HEAVILY favor offenses like yours) and hurt teams who actually like to play defense and tackle aren't being enforced even more to allow even more rediculous passing statistics?  Sorry, some fans still like to see smashmouth football, not a bunch of track-stars wearing "Wedding Dress White" uniforms prancing around the field trying to get 500 yards passing a game while missing 1/2 their tackles and trying to win games 48-42!

Players' voted that Hines

Players' voted that Hines Ward was the league's dirtiest player for like 3/5 years for a period.  Why?  Because defensive players didn't like being put on their butts.  Same here, he's a dominate player who puts other players on their butts.  I doubt that crotch "kick" was intentional, he was being swung down to the ground at the time and would've had to have had amazing body control to do it intentionally.

Here's Jim Rome's take on Ward: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9UVpEvuc4M

 

Listening to these talking

Listening to these talking heads calling Suh dirty makes me sick.  He's a tough football player and that's it.  They are completely buying into the new wuss-ified NFL.  "Oh, that tackle looked mean.... $75,000!  Now do you want to buy this 'Ultimate Hits' video from NFL.com?  It's only $19.99!"

ha, leave it to Chantel to answer me befopre I've even asked.  Are they going to wear those all season / is that like an "All In for Michigan" but for basketball? 

Is anyone else stuck on UNC

Is anyone else stuck on UNC vs. Chamade for the next 4:30?  Has the Michigan game started yet?  This is a 40 point game, get it out of here ESPN.

Get this UNC vs. Chamade game

Get this UNC vs. Chamade game off tv, it's over.  Let's go Blue!

My girlfriend and I broke up, so I'm working on polishing off my second vodka cran now, a win will definitely help the spirits.

Really excited for this

Really excited for this game.  Drinking a vodka cran, relaxing while playing a mmorpg after a really long day of work.  Beat Pitt AND ohio!

I've never done that since there are only six women of courting age in Wyoming.

The early February Frenzy

The early February Frenzy followed by March Madness.... duh.  Plus, with the way football has been changing these past few months, I don't think this would be ALL that momentus. 

Play the majority of the

Play the majority of the games in the fall semester, then move the finale of the season to the spring term with Bowl games being played after?  That way we could get northern bowls and more reason for households to get the BTN.  Plus more ticket sales, more time to practice, etc. 

Thank you Magnus, I

Thank you Magnus, I appreciate the "common man" giving his fair view of up and coming prospects rather than being forced to listen to the know-nothing talking heads from 24/7 and the like.  You're contributions and analysis are every bit as reliable as theirs and far more tailored to Michigan fans' interests. 

Thank you.

Don't click on the post

Don't click on the post then?  If you haven't noticed, this is kind of an important issue, so it bears some reason to believe that people will want to talk about it more than say... "Cato June's Anacostia HS Football to play for championship."
