Ohio State can't afford stadium lights? They should spend the dough on some, night games are the best games. Nothing like some fully liquored up alums and students packing out the place and seeing some CFB under the lights.

The stadium itself cant support lights on the one side due to how its built. So we hire some outside company to bring them in and I guess its a huge pain in the butt from what I have been told. Plus Tress was never a huge fan of night games, but thats all changing now.
I do agree though that night games are the best, our 2 largest crowds have came during night games.
Strange. I'm sure they can have an architect figure out how to install them in the stadium. Where there's a ton of money, there's a way.

ESPN dresses down the Rutgers basketball coach for making homophobic comments.
Yet, not a peep when its own anchor does the same.
Ah yes, keep on being that 'bastion' of journalism ESPN.

Not permed. But, I admit I am now posting with 5 fouls in the fourth quarter from here on. (NBA)
Besides, Marshall had yet another superior recruiting class compared to all CUSA teams (last year's CUSA). Houston also had a good haul, but it doesn't matter much longer now, does it? Anyway, I have to survive on GAF long enough to see this come to fruition.
Ayup; they were harping on that even more than the basketballs. And let's be real here, Biruta vs Rice would be like Mourning vs Van Gundy.
Glad to hear that you're still alive and kicking.
ChiTown--what prompted the tag change? You've been on a spiral of tag-downgrades for a while now, but this last one is a bit... pointed?
Alright, let's not play the false equivalency game. There's a difference between using an epithet and then sharing your own (as misguided as they are, in my mind for comments in a public space) religious views.
Yeah, I think the Rutgers coach didn't mean any insult to gay people.
He was talking about Jason Collins instead of Tim Tebow getting released, so everyone got upset
(video)
Chris Broussard was saying that being an open homosexual is a direct rebellion against god and they're going to hell etc.
And then ESPN only gave out a half hearted apology
Yeah, ESPN knew exactly what was coming when they put him on. Own that shit, don't give a half-assed apology.

That tag is incredibly childish and uncalled for. I guess it's finally time.

Those who can't do, coach
He made a lot of bad posts in the thread where people were discussing the Boston terrorist attack.

AFAIK he ducked owning up to it after being called out itt, though it's tough to keep up on every thread.

He was just as credible as Reddit. Maybe a hair under CNN

Johns Hopkins confirmed.
I hope they don't go that route. I hate that affiliate member bullshit.
Could always promote NW's mens from club, they'll just need another woman's sport for Title 9.
I'm not sure how much resistance will be there on NW's part.

I wonder if Texas stays in CUSA for rowing and South Carolina for men's soccer.

It still surprises me that Northwestern doesn't have a varsity men's lacrosse team yet.
Given the sport's connection to wealth and prestige, it seems perfect for an elite private school like Northwestern.

Aren't you a Rutgers guy? You should know there's no space. Oh wait, I forgot, Rutgers sucks at that too.
jNW won't add men's lacrosse because of Title IX since there's no easy women's add. Also their club team is in no sense promotable (unlike Michigan's was.) If an existing school adds the sport (and I think that's more likely than Hopkins giving up independence,) my guess would be, in order, Michigan State or Illinois, with an outside shot at Wisconsin or Minnesota.
Hopkins would be the only affiliate I'd be able to stomach, but this season is a perfect reason why Hopkins will remain the Notre Dame of lacrosse. Very weak season, but they're still on the tournament bubble based on name alone.
Literally any other school added as an affiliate would weaker than the Maryland/Rutgers round of expansion and would make the conference look desperate. It'd be better to just pay an existing member to add the sport.
There's more to it than that, there's Title IX and there's also the fact that jNW is the least athletically minded B1G member. With just 19 sports, it has fewer sports than Purdue (who doesn't seem to "compete" in anything beyond football and basketball) and Maryland (who just cut a ton of sports and jumped conferences to make budget.)
I think Title 9 is the only reason, Northwestern would probably have the second strongest lacrosse team in the Big 10 after a couple of years.
Nope. I'm going to guess it's focusing on gaming side, since it's being done by Gametrailers.
I don't think showing those portions of the website was the goal for this documentary.

Hrm... this story takes the opposite tack. They're saying Hopkins being on the bubble makes it more likely they jump in to the B1G as an affiliate for the automatic qualification to the tournament. One problem with that, of the five current or soon to be B1G lacrosse teams, three are locks for this year's tournament and you have to believe that Michigan isn't going to be a doormat for long. Hopkins can't count on the AQ just because it joins the B1G.
Pfft, we're the ones that keep this sham of a site going!
from your link it mentions that jstevenson was contacted for an interview and he's an infrequent poster over here.
I'm sad Marvin Bracy is leaving FSU to go pro in track. He's the only notable alum from my HS in like 15-20 years to play for the team.. I had really high hopes. Dude is so damn fast.
No FSU player in the top 50. What an idiot. Jenkins should have been top 20 at worst going into the year and Rhodes was always going to be a 1st rounder.

Everyday I learn more weird shit about A&M
think we can get Prenda to send A&M some lawsuits, claiming copyright infringement on the thumbs up sign. A&M illegally using the Thumbs Up Sign without paying royalties.
Alabama has now been the favored team in 42 straight games, with a 22 point line against VT
Also, here's Reuben Foster's updated Auburn Tattoo, changed to be a tribute to a cousin who played at Auburn and was shot.

My sis got her Aggie ring a few weeks ago.
I've been teasing her about it. It's fun.

Super excited about the new East/West divisions in the Big 10. That could not have worked out better for the Huskers.
