I always thought it must be a cluster funk when the conference has different teams for different sports. Just creates a bad situation from the start.

Doesn't help either when your known as one of the big basketball conferences in a football dominated world that just brings in more money and more clout.

If they take care of business (Northwestern and MSU), they could be top 5 in a couple weeks. Fraudulent as all hell, but who cares? lolol...

Nah, teams would have to lose for them to move up like that. Most of the teams ahead of them don't have any likely loses coming in the next 2 weekends. #10 is the highest we'll go before the inevitable losses start coming.

I mean, the BB schools have to be delusional to think that if the FB schools left they would be considered anything more than a slightly improved A-10 Conference (in performance and media perception). And the football schools have to be incredibly short-sighted for not hammering that point home.

And the BE answer to "help" the beaten reputation of BE football is to try to move up Villanova or invite service academies? Nova still can't make up its mind after all of this time and has no competent stadium while Air Force is a long shot, Army is terrible and got eaten alive even in CUSA while Navy has never been in a conference and has said basically "thanks but no thanks."

I wonder what current team in the BE would turn down an offer from another conference? Says a lot about the conference right there.
 
So apparently one of UGA's best defensive players got a DUI last night. Thanks.

You sure about that:

The presidents and chancellors of the 14 remaining Big East members and TCU have authorized commissioner John Marinatto to "aggressively pursue discussions" with certain schools interested in joining the league.

The league released a statement after Sunday's meeting at Georgetown University in Washington. The meeting had been scheduled before Syracuse and Pittsburgh announced last month they will leave the conference to join the Atlantic Coast Conference.

A source with knowledge of the meeting told ESPN.com's Andy Katz that the Big East did not issue any invitations Sunday. The source said a number of schools were discussed, including Navy, Army, Air Force, Temple, Central Florida and a new name in SMU, which would be a natural rival with TCU if the Horned Frogs honor the commitment to join the conference in 2012-13. All of these schools except Army and Navy would join the Big East for all sports.

The timing of Pitt and Syracuse's departure was also on the agenda, a souce said. Pitt and Syracuse would like to get out for the 2012-13 season. But Marinatto has said he wants to hold the schools to the 27-month departure requirement.

ACC commissioner John Swofford said at the time of adding Pitt and Syracuse that he would honor that time frame. The exit fee is $5 million, but that could always be negotiated up, according to sources, to expedite the departure.

Connecticut still would rather be in the ACC than stay in the Big East if given the choice, a source said. But the Huskies' administration expect that the ACC is in no rush to expand beyond 14 after adding Pitt and Syracuse. The Huskies are prepared for this to drag on for quite some time.

Swofford has said he is comfortable at 14, but not philosophically against 16. The ACC would likely want to add Notre Dame and then Connecticut as a 16th school if it were to add two more schools. But Notre Dame continues to maintain its desire to be an independent in football and keep all its other sports in the Big East.

The original purpose of the meeting was to discuss the conference's upcoming television rights negotiations, but the defections forced expansion onto the agenda.

The Big East says the presidents also are "actively considering changes to the conference's governing bylaws to further solidify the membership of the conference."

Sounds like they are going to add some teams shortly.

Gets better. He was also going 37 mph over the speed limit (92 in a 55) and girl in the passenger seat was under 21 and had a BAC of 0.18
 
So the Aggies melted down and so did the Cowboys.

Thats what douchers get. Also, very surprised at how UT won, and SMU and TCU playing a Madden-like game.

I'm pretty sure about that. Same crap different day with them. Being reactive rather than proactive - sitting around waiting for teams to leave before even thinking of doing anything. Then once that time comes, start doing evaluations or whatever else it is that they do that should have been done long ago.

Boils down to the BE, as usual, wanting service academies that aren't really too keen on the league, obsessed with metro markets that don't give a crap about the teams there, using basketball to fix a football problem and oh, then finally even starting to consider teams that are ready to go in all sports, have shown concrete investments and aren't hoping and praying that the soccer owners down the street want to expand their stadium to 25k.
 
Better than I expected it to be. Personal experience with a high ankle sprain was that it was a bitch and it took me over a month to get back mostly to full speed. That was without personal trainers, rehabilitation staff, drugs, and lots of ankle tape, however.
 
Because they never get old?

Excited that K-State is now 4-0 and #20/21 , but I'm still going to take it one game at a time. Mizzou is next at home on ABC, we will see if our safeties can finally fix their issues before mizzou lights us up all day.

Yeah I know, but at least Brantley is used to getting skull fucked. Driskel looked like he was gonna piss his pants on Saturday. Can't blame him though.
 
Well, one thing will happen next week with LSU/Florida.

We'll see how LSU's 90th ranked offense deals with facing a team with an actual Defense (7th Total Defense) in Florida.

Best Defense they've faced: West Virginia (who actually gave up more yards to Maryland than LSU)
Oregon, Mississippi State, and Kentucky have subpar, borderline horrendous defenses.

Not saying they'll lose to Florida. Their Defense seems to be for real, but come on, 90th ranked offense while playing 22nd (total defense) West Virginia, 47th Miss State, 54th Kentucky, and 77th Oregon.

Although from listening to buddies that went, Madison is an awesome place! Well done on not being doucebags, Wiscy fans!

I've been to a ton of games in Madison and the only time I remember Wisconsin fans truly being assholes was after that motherfuck scumbag cocksucker Ryan Reynolds literally tried to murder Jim Sorgi by punching him in the throat at the bottom of a pile. It was rainy, the game took forever and it was at night. I have never seen or been in so many brawls in one night. It was an absolute clusterfuck of blood and mud through the entire town. Insanity.

Generally the crowd is pretty affable and fun. Though after the Cade McNown Rose Bowl we did all stand outside the UCLA bus with a dozen band members cheering and singing until McNown showed up weeping. So good!!
 
Guess which team got a vote in today's coach's poll? Thanks Spurrier!!! I think we'll win against Bye State, and hopefully FSU andf Wake destroy each other.

Probably be a close game for a quarter or maybe a half but the continuous three and outs by the Florida offense are going to kill the defense and LSU pulls away in the second half.

I wrote this over at TD

Oregon - 59th scoring defense, 92nd rushing defense, 44th passing defense, 77th total defense

Mississippi State - 51st scoring defense, 73rd rushing defense, 27th passing defense, 47th total defense

West Virginia - 46th scoring defense, 46th rushing defense, 18th passing defense, 22nd total defense

Kentucky - 60th scoring defense, 100th rushing defense, 11th passing defense, 54th total defense

Kentucky gave up more yards to Central Michigan and Florida. Maryland played better offensively against West Virginia.

Oregon's best defensive game was against LSU.

LSU's defense is awesome. LSU's offense hasn't played anyone with a pulse.

Florida and Penn State are top 10 defenses. But, since they've really only faced 1 offense in Alabama, they are probably aren't top 10 defenses. But at least Alabama was the best performer against the 2 so far.

But then again, the only teams left on LSU's schedule with a top 40 defense, is Florida, Tennessee, and Alabama. So LSU should be in good shape, baring 11/05.

Statistically speaking, I'd have expected to see droves of LSU fans ranting about how shitty their offense is. I mean, Alabama's winning these games comfortably, but still see lots of "AJ is shaky, AJ can't throw it deep, wah wah wah." But Alabama's 34th in total offense. Not an offensive powerhouse, but good enough with that defense to become a Juggernaut.

While LSU performs worse against Kentucky than Florida and Central Michigan. Worse than Maryland against West Virginia. LSU was Oregon's best defensive game this year.
 
ugh, well that was terrible, didn't get to watch the game live, still have it on dvr, probably will delete.

props to clemson on winning it.

now that our best starting d-tackle is out, our defense is gonna be more suspect, which from what it seems actually had a good game.
 
I now take a break in my regularly scheduled hate week for this image:

Now, back to your regularly scheduled hate week:

Most scientists believe the constant in the universe is C, or the speed of light. They are incorrect, its actually that OU Sucks.
 
Some scientists think that there is a massive black hole or dark matter at the center of our universe. The truth is, it's pure concentrated OU holding the universe together.

Bring it dirt burglars.

You just can't debate that logic.
