Based on the practices I've attended, periods are typically around 12 minutes (teams include Minnesota, Oklahoma State, Iowa State, UConn, and Ohio State - all 12 minutes).

There are 8 teams I would like to see the B1G go after... not that my wishes mean a damn thing. All fit the academic profile and (with he exception of Cal, which I could overlook a la Northwestern) bring at least one, if not several, high tier programs.  In order of interest:

Washington (FB, Olympics)

Stanford (Olympics, WBB, Baseball, sometimes FB and MBB)

Oregon (FB, Olympics, Sometimes MBB)

Cal (Academics)

Vanderbilt (Baseball, Sometimes MBB, WBB)

Kentucky (MBB, Sometimes FB, Baseball)

Colorado (Olympics, Sometimes FB, Sometimes BB, Skiing!)

Utah (FB, MBB, WBB, Olympics, Skiing!)

Taking the Irish's Risk elimination as a foreboding omen for the program. Solid logic.

Traded a sports watch for a gun at a Blues Man's pawn shop earlier today. Dressing as Santa and heading out to the Duke & Duke company party in center city Philly. I've got some unfinished business to take care of there... some Marijuana cigarettes, greenies, and assorted goodies to "share" with the fellow who succeeded me in my job. Might grab some champagne and a little smoked salmon then take the bus to find this busty prostitute I met a few days ago.

You know... The usual.

This is a Rochefoucauld... the thinnest water-resistant watch in the world. Singularly unique, sculptured in design, hand-crafted in Switzerland, and water resistant to three atmospheres. This is the sports watch of the 1980s. Six thousand, nine hundred and fifty-five dollars retail! It tells time simultaneously in Monte Carlo, Beverly Hills, London, Paris, Rome, and Gstaad!Image may contain Wristwatch

I was pretty high when it all went down on the train with Beeks and the Gorilla but I heard it was no honeymoon for him on the cruise back to Africa either.

Great win over a solid opponent but is it just me or does the spelling out of the full "Boston University" name on the sweaters (on separate lines no less) look oddly juvenile? Maybe it's tradition but it's kind of like those "property of:" sweatshirts that I always thought tried just a little too hard.

I may have fewer points than most of the folks here, but rest assured, I out hit them. That said, the announcement of my hiring as Cornhusker Head Football Coach is imminent.

I rarely watch the "mothership," but find myself drawn to a lot of the ESPN+ content like MLS and USL along with various D-II and III broadcasts. It came with my Hulu (owned by Disney) subscription. I can also lull myself to sleep with international Cricket in the wee hours, so there's that. Haven't watched SC in years though. The Score app with Twitter links does me just fine for scores and highlights. I suspect fragmented viewing like this may become more of the norm in the future. 

Current Morgan State WR…

Current Morgan State WR coach Derrick Alexander had a pretty solid and not entirely unremarkable NFL career. Not Toomer or Graham level, but not too shabby either. I would put Leroy Hoard in the good-but-sub-elite mix as well. I'll even throw in "silent" safety Jarrod Wilson and (former Bird) Jason Avant on my list of undersung NFL Wolverines.

Looking good Billy Ray.

Little mention of variety or sketch comedy shows on the list, so I'll add the category.  While they might not have the ongoing story lines of others, they surely feature incredible talent, innovation, and writing (plus music). 

1. Carol Burnett (Carol, Tim,  Harvey, Vicky... c'mon now)

1a. Your Show of Shows (Sid, Imogene, Carl, Ed Hurlihy)

1b. Letterman

2. SNL (some iterations more than others)

3. Midnight Special

4. Kids in the Hall

5. Key and Peele

And I'd be remiss if I didn't at least mention Milton Berle.

Very excited to learn

about all of these 18 tackles we're bringing in.  Hayes and Mayfield are in for some serious competition, not to mention the oversigning violation for the '18 recruiting cycle.

I keed, I keed.

New Musky?

I mean, he might not make batteries or launch rockets (or have hair plugs) but I think he'd be more than welcomed by the Maize n' Blue faithful.

Throwing the baby out with the bathwater...

First, MSU was on Brandon. Secondly, I would much prefer playing Wisconsin than Nebraska for a number of reasons including quality of competition and proximity for away games (Michigan has a much larger fan base in Chicago than in Omaha). Thridly, last years Game was not some conference wide conspiracy. Lastly (regarding this particular post) do you think any network with which we would sign wouldn't require us to play night games in proportion to all other big time programs?  Until there are no conferences, I think we are in about as good a place as we could be.

 

OhNo, what an awful idea.

User Name in this case (MGoOhNo), however, checks out.

This might fit well here:

, (2017). Race and the Deep Ball: Applying Stereotypes to NFL Quarterbacks. International Journal of Sport Communication. Volume:10 Issue: 1 Pages:41-57 doi: 10.1123/ijsc.2016-0074

This study experimentally tested whether White participants (N = 274) applied stereotypes to Black and White professional quarterbacks. Using common stereotypical descriptors established in prior research, this between-subjects experiment found that while the participants did not stereotype White quarterbacks, they did apply the stereotypes of “physically strong” and “naturally gifted” to Black quarterbacks, thus othering, or using race to establish an out group. These results are interpreted through the framework of social-identity theory.

Key words (my insertion): fast twitch, long, athletic, raw, fluid, good frame
Well, I'm pretty ambivalent about alternates, but...

Wisconsin vs. Nebraska or USC vs. Iowa State would be pretty absurd if both teams on the field wore home uniforms (or away for that matter). Navy/Notre Dame and probably some other matchups would look ridiculous too.

CRex, obviously.

Truly, though, I was a lurker and still pretty much am. I don't sign in a whole lot.

Since we're reminiscing...

I think I'll go try to find some of those old CRex diaries about his GF and her family.  Pure gold and sorely missed.

Is it actually possible

there were 41 YourMoms who came before you on this blog (and potenitially limitless more hereafter)? Or are you angered/aroused/??? by middle aged Moms? Or you are feuding with a user named 42 (which I guess might necessitate a comma in there)?  Something else altogether?  I'm just so intrigued by this moniker, especially in conjunction with the avitar. Do tell and welcome aboard.

 

Ugh. Yes. My oversight.

Hastily written.  Should be nicknames that don't end in S or contain a color.

MGoAccuracy appreciated.  Downvoted myself.

Bless your heart

(and other syruppy Southern platitudes).

 

FBS names in the singular

That DO NOT reference a color (e.g., Crimson Tide, Cardinal, Green Wave, Mean Green, or Orangemen excepted):

NC State Wolfpack; Nevada Wolfpack; Navy Midshipmen; Illiniois Fighting Illini; Notre Dame Fighting Irish; Massachusetts Minutemen; Marshall Thundering Herd

Let me know if I missed any.

Actually,

the rink wasn't 'renamed,' it was simply named.

 

Traeger Pellet (but not the small one)

I've had absolutely incredible results (and nothing but positive feedback from guests) with my Traeger Elite (bought at Costco about 4 years ago). The advantage of the pellet grill is its ability to maintain temperature without any fire tending.  A 13 hour pork shoulder can be done while sleeping without interruption. Just make sure the hopper remains adequately supplied and you're good. The abilty to cook/smoke at temps ranging from 200 to 550 is also a plus in terms of flexibility.  Pellet flavors are abundant and available at just about any ACE or Costco. The drawback is that you need a power source to run the auger that feeds the fire. Cant speak to the Egg other than that I've had some damn fine meals from those belonging to friends as well. I imagine you won't go wrong with either of those choices.

No pads would actually be pretty interesting, IMO

It would never happen, but it's intriguing to imagine what the modern game might look like.  Maybe a more highly skilled version of the 'Turkey Bowl' bowl games a lot of us play at Thanksgiving. There would be all sorts of implications, I'm sure. It would surely slow the speed of defensive pursuit and perhaps increase offensive production as defensive players would be less likely to 'sell out' on tackles. Violent hits leading with the head would be avoided (I would think). OTOH, knees to head and heads hitting hard ground might be as bad or worse than today's results. Somehow, howver, I think people's natural instincts for self preservation might decrease injuries overall. Do Aussie footballers suffer more serious injuries than American rules players? Seems to me that's a reasonable comparison in terms of contact (acknowledging that US players are likely bigger, faster and stronger on average). I odn't know,.. just spitballing in the hypothetical.

 

Of course...

it's just been one of those Mondays. Amongst all the pedophilia and sexual assualt news, I'm feeling kinda grumpy. I don't mean to snipe. 

Technically...
