Tell me about it, I've hardly gotten anything done. Tomorrow will be worse.
SB Nation's B1G blog, Off Tackle Empire, has Sherman as a mascot.

It hurts, but I didn't think he was coming here at all.
Some kids just want to get away.
At least we're not as delusional as Syracuse fans, their recruiting message board is littered with gems.
They might as well idolize someone who did something the B1G will never be able to do.

A thing of beauty, it is.
And to think there's actually a very decent game, too.
Pulling for UNC just to piss off the new guy, I've decided.
Can't do it. Nope.

I heard about it, but you can't tell me you were CONVINCED two weeks ago...
EDIT:
That WSJ chart is hilarious. TCU must have the greatest PR department in the world to end up so high.

UNC has cooler helmets.
They don't like CFB? If so, then yes -- stupid people.

Nothing good comes from drinking on Tuesday.
Oh I know he wasn't on that band wagon. I just can't get over james sinclair's claim that RUT v. FSU was a match-up of a TOP TEN and a TOP TWENTY team, and enjoy making all of those references I can.
The current one isn't scalable to our ultimate needs, which I figure to be between 100K and 110K. It was built on the cheap at 40 million dollars in 1994. It was built at a different time in a different context, for the 40-50K stadium populations of the Big East. B1G conference membership requires a more robust stadium solution. With thousands of B1G fans in the general vicinity, not to mention over 500K living rutgers alumni and their families, we are leaving money on the table, by not being able to accomodate them.
Though expanded in 2008, at a cost of around $100 million, I would consider that a sunk cost, which has already paid off for itself, having resulted in better recruiting classes and ultimately B1G membership, which will alone is expected to generate $40 million a year.
I'm picturing a Hotel attached to the stadium, making it the ultimate convenience for out of town guests. A Hooters bar/restaurant would be nice as well. A retractable roof, which will allow it to function as a venue for mens and womens basketball games, much like the carrier dome. Light Rail would be attached, a huge upgrade over the torturous bus service now in place. A parking garage with valet service would be in place. Additional facilities to make it easier for the handicapped/disabled to make it to their seats would be included as well. The restrooms would be significantly upgraded. Bank of America ATMs would ring the stadium concourse. A significant amount of luxury suites would be built, to accommodate the expected significant demand due to B1G affiliation. Finally, the stadium would have four diamond vision replay screens, up from the one we currently have.
Nicely apportioned seats would replace the cold aluminum benches, giving the venue a luxurious feel. Stadium concessions would be upgraded as well, as Rutgers would hire the same company that does Lincoln Financial Field, which has good food. Wifi would be upgraded and each seat would have a personal monitor as well.
Now that we're in a new conference, we need a new stadium, one befitting a college football POWERHOUSE.
I thought you were above the SEC! SEC! SEC! stuff
The NCSU part of me prevents me from ever pulling for UNC.
Three more hours! My wife is grilling brats. I've got ice cold bottles of Henry Weinhard's in the fridge. Lots of chips and homemade salsa.
It's going to be glorious watching Utah get punked at home by Utah State to open the season.
It's complicated, but that's why they pay me the big bucks.
Yeah, well, my evening is just as nice. I get to hurry through mowing the lawn (.54 acres with a push mower) and hope that I don't miss any of the game while I reek of grass, hunched over my PC monitor because who the heck has Fox Sports 1?

I am lurking with my anti-Flood post ready.
Also: There is no mcgruber to yell at right now.

Who the heck is watching Utah, period?
Some of us like watching them lose.
If you weren't all the way up in Utah I'd have you over. I canceled my DirecTV, and the next day they called and offered me a no contract deal that new customers get: Choice Extra (which includes Fox 1, ESPNU-HD and a bunch of other stuff) 3 months of premiums like HBO and Sunday Ticket Max for all for $40 a month plus tax.
I was about to switch to Dish, but I was all over that deal like white on rice. Just have to remember to cancel Sunday Ticket before next season or they'll auto-renew it.

Last hour of the offseason guyz
Simple: join the dark side of people who say "fuck the conferences" and root for every other team in your conference to burn.
And yet I'm already being subjected to Lou Holtz.
WSJ is the new Fulmer Cup. Accept it. You are more embarrassing than Vandy.
Pretty much.

Jealousy levels: critical. My lady is shopping with her grandmother. I have no one to cook for me.
edit: I guess I could get off my lazy ass and grab some beers, though. Sounds like a plan, in fact. See you bitches in 45 minutes.
I feel that
It's the dark side when you root for a team in the SEC.
I totally forgot that the SCe and NC game was on at 4pm mountain. I'm stuck at work until 5 because both of my dept co-workers are out today. Luckily DirecTV let's me set my DVR remotely. Bullet: dodged.
The off-season blues were really starting to kick in a few weeks ago (as a Cubs fan the last hundred baseball seasons have been excruciating). I can't believe the new season of the greatest sport in the world is finally upon us!
I don't know how Cubs fans can still watch baseball.
