He's alright. I've always been an Eddie George guy as he was tearing it up when I started watching OSU.

1) What's an Eddie George?
2) It's Maurice Clarett University, or The Maurice Clarett University if you're feeling snobby.

do you work for T. Boone Pickens, or just owned by him?

I have no knowledge of this person you speak of.
OSU equals Oklahoma State around here. Maurice Clarett University works, or tOSU does as well.
Really the only people that would have a hard time here are probably Domers (because they're chickenshit) and Auburn Wartiglesmen because they're insane.
You're on thin ice now. Watch your step!

Didn't realize Clarett had so many fans around these parts.

This is probably the only place on the Internet Joe Ayoob is still relevant too.
Aside from maybe paper airplane enthusiast forums.

Tennessee blog ranks Vanderbilt game as most important in 2013. The comments agree.
We do, this is how you know we do. The only people I've seen be disliked here are people that come in talking loads of shit about their team or someone else's team.

That's not as shocking as their new uniforms.
Or just being Notre Dame fans. Because reasons.

On the contrary though, if you came in talking mad shit on Notre Dame we would embrace you with open arms.
Maybe your sub was touched by sandwich-artist dick.
True, or Auburn.

mre has a history with them.
Limedust, that blog posted that the second most important game for Tennessee to win is their game against Western Kentucky.
I'm a Duke fan and even I know this. And I also know about a person who may be Maurice Clarett who may or may not have worn #13 and possibly played for a university that could be the Ohio State University
if there was such a person.....not sure.

A win/loss against WKU determines whether or not you s'posed to be SEC. It's a big deal
I think the reasoning is that they know they're going to lose most SEC games, but they have to win a game against Western Kentucky. That is hilarious to me, that a game against a directional school is the second most important game to that Tennesse blog.
If we could kick them out we probably would. Though right now they are a good cupcake for the big boys.

You would kick out 10RC? They won the first BCS MNC! dat history

You guys down for conference predictions again? I thought it was something fun on the side to do last year. If so probably start it here in a week or two.

Sure, but I don't even know who won last year. did you tally everything up?
bucknuticus
Member
Yeah I assigned point values based up on division/conf champs, forget who won, if I remember right it wasnt a super regular poster. Its in the bowl season thread I believe. I can pull up the excel sheet when i get home and look at it again.

I remember seeing the results posted. As far as the winner goes I just remember it was someone that was not me.
I'd be up for making some more semi-blind, humorous-in-hindsight guesses.

is it only for major conferences? or all of them, like the AAC and Big Sky. There should be a bonus for predicting teams that will implode or fail to meet expectations, like USC last year. My pick: A&M, Texas, LSU, Oregon State, for each conference
bucknuticus
Member
I did all the BCS conferences so the AAC would be in. Also had guessed on Champ game and winner. Guess I could expand it for all BCS bowl games too?
perfectchaos007

I'm still getting used to the AAC acronym. This is their first and only year to be a major BCS conference, but I have a feeling we won't give them that honor. Strait to FCS for the AAC
Thats a good idea, but it may be difficult to quantify how many points someone would get for predicting an underachiever. Unless bucknut used a preseason betting sites season record projection for each team then you would get +/- however many points depending on how far off the projected record was. For example if USC was projected to win 10 and they only won 6 games, you would get 4 points added if you chose USC.
But that sounds too complicated for what its worth. Then again if bucknut has enough time to do that then by all means. Also add in a darkhorse prediction.

Honestly, I thought it was an ACC slam. I was kinda depressed when I reread it.

Also, you should make it an open google doc, so we can put in our predictions and you won't have to any work.
This will not lead to shenanigans.
Natural would be unbearable.
Win: "Eat crow, bitches."
Lose: "[Opponent] are a bunch of cheating assholes."

TheNatural and the other Louisville fan might kill each other.
Um... "Would be"?
Plus tons of shit-talk about how the Big 12 should have taken Louisville instead of WVU (we should have taken both), at which point I'll remind him that WVU won their shitty conference the year before they came here.
bucknuticus

Would never lead to the same thing that happened last time we had a google doc going. What happened to that google doc anyway, was good for laughs.

Hey, some actual football talk. Probably could go in that "3rd football topic" but who knows when the last time that topic was bumped.

What the devil is this? Legitimate analysis on ESPN!? Why I never!
EDIT: Jesus, only three minutes, and they don't even pause it to show details. Awesome.
They wanted that segment over fast, as they ignored the "freeze it here" call from the host :lol
Sos will not be there.
I agree that it's unlikely.
The next suckiest scenario is tOSU making it (no offense to the bucknuts here). I can think of several teams that would pretty easily go undefeated in the B1G this year.
P.S. These statements are preemptively taken back if my beloved Pokes miraculously end up in the MNCG against either of those teams.
