those Whipped Puppy faux mags are hilarious! I wish someone would do something like that for the Ohio State/Michigan rivalry. one could put some funny headlines on there

is it sad that I looked at the drug pic on my laptop and grabbed the screen? ... yes it is
 
Um....anyone paying attention to the BCS conference champs, or bowl projections? I mean, we all pretty much feel the BigEasy is null and void, and most of us feel the ACC is waning in value (right along with the East half of the SEC...god forbid whomever wins the SECEast wins the conference title and BCS Bid)....but have you looked lately?

Conference Standings
ACC - FSU on one side and for the other half ... VT (yes, the loser to JMU could be in a BCS bowl)
BigEasy - PIT (5-3), unless they lose 2 games and let SYR take it .... :barf:
Big10+2 - MSU and tOSU face of on NOV 20....but tOSU also has to get past IA
Big12-2 - NEB/MIZZ in the North....Baylor in the South, who could take their bid
Punk10 - ORE (no real surprise.....I think we can all accept that, with how they are playing)
SUCk - AU has to get past AL in the Iron Bowl...then face off against the East winner who could be a 3 (or 4, depending on the FSU game) loss FLA or USCe

Weak 9 Bowl Projections
NC - AL/ORE vs TCU
Sugar - AU/AL vs WISC/BSU
Orange - VT vs TCU/Au
Fiesta - NEB/OU vs PIT
Rose - MSU vs BSU/STAN

..... other than the NC, and posibly the Sugar Bowl (sans WISC, IMO), it will be an ugly bowl season :\

Just imagine how scary a Peterson led Miami team would be. Nobody is better at finding talent under rocks and getting his boys fired up like he is. The rest of the country would shit their pants.

Does anyone think he would consider MINN? I hear they are putting him at the top of their list. I don't know what they can offer for pay, but he ought do as well, or better for recruiting than he did at BSU and he will be in a legitimate conference where if he wins....he's proven himself (as opposed to ACC where it may be too easy for him).

I dunno, I still think MIA is a better choice for him....but it's fun to entertain thoughts of what he'd do to the Big10+2.
 
Week 10.....hoo-rah... :\


THU
7:30 PM ET Georgia Tech at No. 22 Virginia Tech (-13) - Upset? Maybe, but I don't know, and won't know until I see the score Friday....not worth watching, except for cheering against VT, and by extension all of the ACC's BCS clout and BSU's 'quality win'.

FRI
8:00 PM ET UCF at Houston (+2) - playoff for BigEast invite? :D

SAT
12:00 PM ET No. 9 Wisconsin at Purdue (+20) - Upset? No. :| WISC 31 - PUR 10
12:30 PM ET No. 21 Baylor at No. 17 Oklahoma State (-7.5) - Bears are still climbing, and face a decent challenge now in our first top25 matchup (verBig12-2) of the day. BAY 24 - OSU 17
3:30 PM ET No. 3 TCU at No. 5 Utah (+5) - 'THE' game of the day. Don't they have Gameday there? I'll go TCU 31 - UT 20....but for some reason my gut wants to pick UT with the upset...but my head says TCU is real, UT might not be.
3:30 PM ET No. 6 Alabama at No. 10 LSU (+6.5) - 'THE" game of the day, (vSEC) ... Les Miles has got to run out of luck sometime. And Saban doesn't win by luck. AL 28 - LSU 10
3:30 PM ET No. 7 Nebraska at Iowa State (+18.5) - Let's review, ISU > TX > NEB....so, should NEB be concerned? Um, no. NEB 41 - ISU 13
3:30 PM ET Northwestern at Penn State (-6) - only noted for Joe Pa's 400th Div 1-A win. Whoopie!!!! Now friggin sit down and retire. :| NW 13 - PSU 31
7:00 PM ET No. 18 Arkansas at No. 19 South Carolina (-4) Another top25 matchup (vSEC2.0) for the weekend, though I'm not sure anyone outside the SEC (and primarily the EAST...actually, just in Gainesville) care about it. ARK 38 - USCe 34. Yes, I'm going upset on this one.
7:00 PM ET Oregon State at UCLA (+5) Meh, somewhat interesting PAC10 game. We'll pull for the Bruins and say OSU 28 - UCLA 31. And yes, part of that prediction is based on OSU being a 'quality win' for TCU and BSU :| But also in that I'm pulling for LapDawg's team to finally matter ;) :p
8:00 PM ET No. 15 Arizona at No. 13 Stanford (-9.5) Yet one more top25 matchup (verPAC10) for the day. Should be a decent game. We'll go AZ 14 - STAN 24
8:00 PM ET Tennessee at Memphis (+20.5) - I sooo want to pick MEM. Ok, I will. TENN 17 - MEM 21
10:30 PM ET Arizona State at USC (-5.5) Meh....always good to pull for another loss for Lane. ASU 17 - USC 13.


I'm sorry, where were the ACC, Big10+2, and BigE 'top25 matchups'? Oh yeah ... ACC only has 3 teams in there (tops is VT at #22), BigE has has zero ranked teams, and the Big10+2 has four (tops is WISC at #9) but they just happened to not matchup this weekend.
 
Peterson would do great at Minnesota, I think his style fits right into what the Big Ten brings to the table when they feature elite teams. for some reason, the Golden Gopher job has been attracting some interest around the media. it would be nice if they could return to some sort of prominence, they definitely have the facilities now with their new stadium and work-out center

I've heard of a lot of crazy names being rumored to have interest. the most interesting was Mark Richt of UGA
 
HAH..... It wouldn't surprise me if Richt runs out of good graces in UGA, then again he may be kept for several years, who knows. Would he go to MINN? I dunno, but just the thought of it cracks me up.

I've also heard mention of our D-Line coach, Dan McCarney, being considered. That would probably hurt UF (given the large amount of staff turnover we've been suffering in recent years)....but we'll see if it shakes out.

Last name I'll put out there that I've heard going around .... wait for it .... Phil Fulmer. That would be a decent fit for him and the school....but from the article, he seems to have pulled his name from consideration. How hilarious would that be? At least from the perspective of someone, like me, who hates TN?
 
hahaha at Phillip Fulmer. it would be even more hilarious than Ron Zook to Illinois

you know your career is taking a downward trend as soon as you pick up a Big Ten cellar dwellar (that isn't Northwestern. for what they're worth, they actually are a stand-up bottom feeder type team)
 
From what I have heard, Randy Shannon will be a candidate at Minn at the end of the year. I'm pretty sure he is gone this season and Minn has put his name out there.


You better pray you do not hire him, although he is a good recruiter.
 
IDK he can't do any worst than Minnesota is doing right now. I don't think the Minn powers that be are so disillusioned that they think they will be doing anything like winning Big Ten titles. I'm sure they just don't want their program to be the probably the worst team in Division 1, which Minnesota most certainly is

people here like to put down the Big Ten for whatever reasons, but it's tough in the Big Ten, unless you are the perpetual powerhouses. just look at this year. Michigan State, Ohio State, Wisconsin, and Iowa are all legit teams

I think Iowa is playing the best right now. Ricky "the True American Hero" Stanzi should be getting some more Heisman love. the Hawkeyes were one blocked extra point, and one horrible 2: 00 minutes of clock management from being king of the Big Ten hill

I really hope tOSU can go into Iowa City unscathed. they look great. thankfully whenever Iowa plays tOSU the Hawkeyes usually shit brix like they are starstruck or something

Big Ten teams being starstruck against tOSU really is their biggest in-conference weapon. it's like if the Buckeyes rack up an early lead than the Big 10 opponent will just sink not swim. funny if the said conference teams somehow pulls out a couple early TDs, they end up usually winning the game in the end...
 
People were putting down the Big 10 a couple years ago because they really were a shit conference. This year, it is much better than it has been, and anybody who puts it down is simply denying reality.

I used to stand up for the ACC when it was an ok conference and not nearly as bad as the perception of it was, but this year the MWC might actually be better than it. There are too many sleeping giants such as Miami and FSU in the ACC to say that it should not be an automatic qualifier, however. When both of these programs get their shit together, it will be a very tough conference to get through.
 
Anyone here about the big Cameron Newton story?

$200k. Holy shit.

When it happens to Peterson and LSU, can I get my Bluelight credit for being the first to say it would happen?
 
You talking about the Camburglar?

Don't know if it is true. Wouldn't surprise me either way.
 
i wish fulmer never got fired from UT. i love that guy. fuck you haters.

nesbit broke his arm last night, probably time for him to start thinking about a career selling insurance.
 
what a surprise...Yet another sec player getting into trouble. And this time it's Reggie Bush'ish.

200 k? If this is true Auburn should get canned like USC did. This is also a sad sad tale of the times we live in. The leading Heisman Candidate is a guy who got busted stealing another students computer, was cornered by the police and threw the computer out the window. Now we find out he's getting payed to play at Auburn,.

Yes folks, this is the leading Heisman Trophy candidate. I know the award is given for your on the field accomplishments, but they took Bush's Heisman away because he broke the rules, I fully expect the NCAA won't let Newton keep one if he wins it.

Or maybe they will, seeing as how they seem to turn their back to anything the SEC does.

Florida has over 30 players arrested since Meyer took over, Georgia is full of thugs, Tennessee's players got staph infections because they don't know how to take showers properly, Ole Miss has a felon as their starting QB, I mean seriously where the fuck does it stop in this conference???

In my 18 years of following college football, I can never remember a time when there was so much corruption and rule breaking in all of college football, let alone a single conference.

+1

Although you should be careful what you wish for as far as enforcement. Ohio State could probably get into some trouble too.

One of the reasons things like this piss me off so much is because my school can't do it anymore. The NCAA is always watching over Miami and its boosters so paying players is almost impossible. It gives every school but us that competetive advantage. USC and Auburn will likely join that boat soon enough.
 
meh besides Maurice Clarett being a thug and a little controversy with Troy Smith, I'm not too worried about the dirtiness of Ohio State's program. sure, as I've said before, I think that all of college football programs are corrupt in some level - tOSU is a little more wholesome

in Jim Tressel's world, you would earn an infraction for not closing the door behind you when you enter a house

I agree with Pander in that I wish all my college football news was brought to my attention via their pics

which games should I watch today? right now I'm thinking Arkansas VS South Carolina and Stanford VS Arizona have the potential to be solid. all in all, another week of possible NCAA football boredom
 
^Stanford vs. Arizona, TCU vs. Utah, and LSU vs. Bama are my games that I plan to watch today (big suprise on the last one, huh? ;) ).

Illinois vs. Michigan is actually an interesting game, though very lacking in defense. It also really pains me to see schools at Michigan's level not being able to make a 39-yard field goal. Their starting kicker is now 4-for-9 on the year...

Don't look now, but Purdue is beating Wisconsin and Indiana is beating Iowa...
