The State of Texas has officially refused to recognize the bustling ewe-trading metropolis of Bryan/College Station as belonging to the state.

But even then, A&M wipes the floor with the Scarlet Turnpikes any day of the week and thrice on Saturdays :gomer:

Keep it up and I have a friend who will show you who's buried under that Turnpike.

And you might as well put Houston in excile along with College Station. They're stuck in traffic and can't leave anyway. ;)

Good thing all the undeafeated Big East's play each other. Here's hoping they take each other out.

I don't want to see a OSU/Louisville, OSU/Rutgers game.

Almost no one else does either. Or OSU/WV. Even in Jersey, the Giants (and even the Jets) are a much bigger deal than Rutgers.

But I'd love seeing the BCS crew squirm with the propect of having to out-manipulate what the Big East does on the field actually playing/winning games

I'd rather not see WVU, but at least I have taken notice of them and respected their talent over the last few years. Louisville has been too much hype and never comes through, and Rutgers is, well Rutgers. Who knows what to expect. So of the teams, I'd go for WVU

But I'd love seeing the BCS crew squirm with the propect of having to out-manipulate what the Big East does on the field actually playing/winning games

I would love to see them squirm also, but I don't want Ohio State sharing a Championship like USC pretends like in 2003. So this year I want things clear, but any other years, I want total chaos in the BCS system. Like 10 undefeated top conference schools.:thumbup:

Rutgers football is now ranked #4... In the Academic Progress Rating. Behind only Stanford, Duke and Navy among the 119 D1 schools.

And no players dismissed/rules inelegible for academic reasons in the Schiano era.

Not bad when most teams in the top 20 have team GPA of potted plants or have players not even enrolled at the school (see Auburn, Brooks, James)

It has to do more with refusing to compromise your school's academic standards for athletic glory.

Got to stop you right there. Admission to RU, even in state is among the toughest in the country. It is a top public research university. It has world class programs in computer science, environmental studies, philosophy, psychology and more.

Of course US News ranks them 60th along side T A&M. That should please you:gomer:

Seriously, it is a very good school even if the little secret in Jersey is that the College of NJ (formerly Trenton State) is the best all around state school for an undergrad education and nearly twice as hard as RU to get into.

Got me. I meant in NJ. But I think US News ranks CNJ among the top 50 in the nation.

According to Kiplinger UofM accepts about 60% of admissions. Rutgers is the same. College of NJ less than 40%. Chapel Hill is toughest state school I believe at a little over 30% UVA not far behind. The Ivys are a whole other deal. Princeton takes less than 10%

(I'm on a school board and with a kid not too far from college so I have to pay attention to this crud)

BTW, The College of NJ is a tough little football school too. DIII. But never quite as good as in state rival Rowan who contends for the national title most years (where they actually play for the championship:) )

we should all be as apathetic as USC and ND fans and not say a thing.

empty beer cans and celebration for going to the national championship game. what a sham!!!!!

listen, everyone who attends games knows where not to go after a huge win. Don't go on University at UF, don't go near The Hiney or anywhere on that side of campus after an OSU game. If UM fans are dump enough to go to an area with drunk ass college frat guys, they deserve to get beat.

Same for any school, and those rules apply to me when I go to Ann Arbor/Tallahassee/Jacksonville.

If you haven't gotten drunk before noon on a saturday, pissed on the side of a building, and yelled F**** M*ch*gan(or some other school) then are you actually a football fan? Certainly not a college football fan. Go to the NFL games, and be bored and pathetic with those quiet crowds that get upset when you stand up and yell for a great play that just occured.

Mississippi State should be banned from the SEC

By Bobby Bozeman
September 29, 2006

I have a message for Mississippi State: You suck! Get out of my conference.

How about this? You leave and go to a conference where you can lose to teams such as Tulane every year.

Seriously, can we expect a team like Mississippi State to really stay in the SEC with two shutout losses and then a loss to Tulane? While they didn't lose to UAB this week, it was still too close of a game for comfort.

The SEC has a tradition of excellence when it comes to athletics, and Mississippi State continues to fall short. Sure, they might be pretty good at volleyball, and they were good at baseball and basketball at one time, but that's just not good enough. The focus of SEC sports is football, and Mississippi State just can't compete.

A little history comes from this claim also. Tulane, the team that Mississippi State lost to last weekend, left the SEC in 1965 after almost a decade of futility. The year that Tulane left the SEC, they were also held scoreless their first two games, ultimately being shut out a total of five times that year.

How many seasons like this does Mississippi State need to get the point?

Look for Mississippi State to be shut out by LSU, West Virginia and Georgia. That would be five shut out losses.

Realistically, Mississippi State only has two more chances to win another game this year: Division AA Jacksonville State and Kentucky, and they could lose both of those games, too.

We just want a decent game to watch as we sit hung over on new years day. If Notre Dame is in one of those games, its a foregone conclusion they will lose just like they have for something like 10 years. It's a shame the Domers wouldn't join the Big 10 since it would be interesting to see them battle for 4th or 5th every year.

Go Bucky.

To hell with the Big 10, I'd be happy to see ND play in the Big East. You know - the conference all their other sports belong to?

1) Scared of playing a real schedule.
2) Don't want to pay a conference a share of the $.

With Marcus Thomas kicked off the team (our best lineman, perhaps our best talent on the entire team and once a top-5 NFL pick), do you think we can stop a good running offense (either in the SEC Championship Game or a BCS game)?

Honestly, our run defense isn't great, but what I told everyone before I left in September, the biggest hurdle for UF will be winning by enough points to not have to worry about special teams.

I know I've said this before, but a group of friends were at the LSU game last year in Lousiana, and Urban's wife Shelley was in the next row ahead of everyone. When we punted once, someone asked Mrs. Meyer why we kick to the side like that, her reaction was the key, she said, 'Because all of our kickers suck.'

We don't have a good kicking team. Punters suck, Hetland and field goals is the definition of the suck, and kickoffs are beyond pitiful.

I'm suddenly worried as our defense was awesome and was carrying the team. I guess I should just be enojoying the 8-1 season, but this winning ugly is killing me... not that tOSU or UM looked any better this week.

OSU didn't look good, but they didn't look awesome against Bowling Green when I flew out to the game either. Tressel holds TOOOOOOO much back when he knows he can win. If you look at the plays called, he has yet to show the true potential of the offense, and based on Troys running stats, there is a lot more to show, than some believe. That is why they are the best team. They are being handcuffed in waiting for Michigan and the National Championship game. We shall see their true performance on Nov. 18th.

UF is good. But I fear for a National Championship game against OSU. I feel it would be 1995 all over again, except this time UF won't get as many points as in '95 against Nebraska.

That being said, I'd love to see the game, and while UF is special to me, The OSU is the team I'll have to side with. Can't deny my childhood with OSU. Jerk Herbstreit had quite a bit of influence on me, as did Joe Jermaine:D

ND traditionally has had one of the toughest schedules in the nation. For years they had Michigan (and a whole lot of other Big10 schools), Miami, USC and anyone else on their sched.

UF plays 2 easy teams. ND plays 2 hard teams a year. UM, USC and UM havne't been good at the same time forever. Sooooooo. ND = teh suck, with 1-2 hard games a year. How shockingly pathetic.

Go back and look at your OCC scheduel and say that with a straight face. Besides your rival FSU all your OCC games against paisties at home.

I don't think anyone remembers UF opening the season on the road at a Big-12, -10 or Pac-10 campus.

Arkansas and Tenn and Auburn actually are or have traveled west in recent memory and two of them did not fair to well.

why schedule things like that when you have to play, Auburn, LSU, Tenn, UGA, 'Bama in the SEC, FSU, and yes, we're back to the UF/Miami, Miami/FSU, UF/FSU games in 2008.

We already have the hardest schedule, what do we gain out of making it harder.

Ohio State on the other hand, does have an easy schedule by comparison to the SEC. And OSU has historically denied playing games with the Big 12 until this Texas home and away. Nebraska tried to schedule us in the 90's, but obviously we were scared, and we should have thought UT out as well, but what can you do.

Now that OSU has played Texas twice, next years schedule is rather simple, but then we play USCali for 2 years, and then UMiami for a home and away series. Who knows how good USC or UM will be then, but we scheduled UM before the 2002 Championship game, so we've been waiting a long time, as have they, for a rematch.:thumbup:

Ank as a general rule, those teams are not crap. Even when FSU is down, they still are not out. I still think UF could lose in Tallahassee purely because of the beating UF put on them last year infront of my very own eyes. FSU wants revenge, and bobby wants to save the season.

UGA is having an off year that I doubt many saw coming, and 'Bama isn't living up to expectations, but those teams are hardly pushovers like the weaklings in the Big Ten and Pac-10. I would fear scheduling them any year, no matter what their success in other games.

Mississippi St. is the only team in the SEC that shouldn't be there, IMO. WVU should be courted and Miss. St should be sent to the Big East.

Vandy, South Carolina, Miss St, Kentucky don't exactly inspire fear in the hearts of anyone. (although, granted, Vandy's reaching mediocre status)

and 'bama's had one good year in the past 5 and they're relevant? by that logic UCLA is fearsome :gomer: Shula is the SEC's Dorrell.

I too think UF could lose in Tallahassee, but since FSU's already lost 2 games at home this year, it'll be pretty sad if UF does. FSU == last place in conference.

Big East should not be a dumping ground for every wannabe football program.

And it shouldn't be a basketball conference trying to be a football conference. This got messed up when Penn State joined the Big 11.

What it should be is an all sports conference including traditional eastern rivals of Penn St, Syracuse, BC, Pitt, WVA, Rutgers, Temple, Army and Navy. Add newbie UConn if you like and that's nine conference games, six of which are likely to be pretty competitive in any given year for any team (except for any game involving Temple) Add three non-conference games against a IAA and 1-2 top ranked teams and it makes a pretty good schedule.

There has been a problem ever since someone thought Florida and VA were in the east and 10=11. East equals north of the Mason Dixon and east of the Ohio River. Now that U and VT are gone at least that part is fixed, but BC gone really hurts and USF and Louisvillle are just not natural rivals.

The conference (any conference) needs to compete for recruits from the same high schools and leverage existing near state rivalries. That's why UConn and Rutgers is becoming a nice rivalry.

But whatever. Didn't happen. Not going to happen. Its all about bowl money and TV money. It has nothing to do with what makes sense.:irked:

Wow. How could they let that kid try to walk off after being down so long and clearly out? Any word on how he's doing?

I played organized football for 29 years (midgets, HS, college, travel flag) and never took a hit like that... Until my last year. Gave a few, but never took one until a I caught one on an interception return.

Cracked every joint in my body like an atomic chiropractor, pushed every ounce of air in me through every orafic, and put that sick tube of sparkly tunnelvision around my head.

Once I rolled over and gave up looking for my pride I decided I was right when I was 25 and said I would play until I was 40. I was 40 and knew I was done.

Naw. Hit DC and you are at the bottom of the NE corridor. Ask Amtrak ;) .

I draw the line at about Wilmington DE. You might make an argument for MD, as they fought for the North, but get too far south of Philly and the country and sensibilities start to take on a decidedly southern redneck/gentile feel. And it starts to lose that mix of immigrant, ethnic, gritty, blue collar, arrogant, Wall Street, coal miner, preppy Ivy League, loud eastern karma.
