QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 2, 2011 -> 04:43 PM) Roethlisberger boarded the team plane with a boot on his foot. He's going to be even worse off in a few weeks with his OL. Easily the worst OL in the NFL. Even probowl center Pouncey is playing like dogs***.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Sep 29, 2011 -> 07:53 PM) Just curious, is there any legitimate talk about trying to get TCU to switch to the Big 12? That would make WAY more sense to me. There are contradicting reports out there. Texas apparently is not interested in adding TCU because Texas wants the DFW market for themselves. Other reports from yesterday were indicating BYU and TCU were the most likely choices. A potential huge issue for TCU is the same Big East conference exit rule that is keeping Syracuse and Pitt from going to the ACC for 27 months. The 6 potential teams I have heard are BYU, TCU, Louisville, West Virginia, Boise State, and Cincinnati. However, unless enough teams leave to dissolve Big East rules, then it's a moot point for 27 months for the Big East potential teams. My preference in order would be... Louisville West Virginia BYU Cincinnati TCU Boise State

QUOTE (danman31 @ Sep 29, 2011 -> 06:38 PM) If the Mormons are in, I'd say it's a good time for Missouri to already be gone. C'mon, make a move happen. Dodds wants to add SMU, Rice, and Houston. 3 more in-state schools that would be his b****es. Ugh. If Mizzou has a legit SEC offer, you guys would be insane not to go.

In the ever fun rumor world, BYU supposedly decided tonight to join the Big 12 and will announce on Friday.

This is going to be insane. http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball...lege-basketball

QUOTE (danman31 @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 06:04 PM) They gone. I'm almost starting to believe Mizzou will be joining them. I'm thinking it's maybe 40% at this point. It would probably be higher I'm going to be jealous if you get out of this cluster@#!% conference.

Big 12 has a hilarious game of Texas Hold-em going on. A&M is all in. The rest are bluffing their asses off waiting for someone else to match A&M's all-in. Just end it already. Mizzou I'm talking to you now.

Pittsburgh and Syracuse officially accepted into ACC. Very good pick-ups for the ACC. Looks like the OU, Okie State, Texas, Texas Tech group to the Pac is picking up steam as well.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Sep 17, 2011 -> 07:38 PM) How cute, Notre Dame won a game. I can't say I care about FSU otherwise, but I'm actually rooting for OU because of the seminole chant. Nothing more annoying in sports. Though Illinois' 3rd down chant is up there. I think EJ Manuel is going to have to pull a Cam Newton to keep FSU in this one.

Borchard and his LTP.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 11, 2011 -> 09:11 PM) I saw that draft report and figured it was mostly bulls***. I mean, talking about his smile? That's like people with Jay Cutler's facial expressions. Regardless, as far as his actual football ability... You don't have to like someone to see that. Why do people just make s*** up? Like the jamarcus Russell comparisons? Come on now. No questions about his physical abilities. He has it all. If he matures between the ears he will be a superstar for years to come.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 11, 2011 -> 08:04 PM) I just don't know what Cam Newton has done to earn all the hate he gets. Lots of things. Academic cheating at Florida, felony charges of burglary, larceny, and obstruction of justice. Pay for play at Auburn. Comments like “I see myself not only as a football player, but an entertainer and icon." Here is what one NFL draft writer wrote about him. Under "negatives" for Newton, Nawrocki writes, "Very disingenuous — has a fake smile, comes off as very scripted and has a selfish, me-first makeup. Always knows where the cameras are and plays to them. Has an enormous ego with a sense of entitlement that continually invites trouble and makes him believe he is above the law — does not command respect from teammates and will always struggle to win a locker room . . . Lacks accountability, focus and trustworthiness — is not punctual, seeks shortcuts and sets a bad example. Immature and has had issues with authority. Not dependable."

Mark Richt will be available after this week.

These kids can tweet?

Pinkel just iced his own kicker twice. BRILLIANT.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Sep 8, 2011 -> 11:10 AM) Yep today I wake up to: Texas and ND have proposed a plan to the Big 10 to join in the year 2014. If you go back in this thread youll see I noted that the Big 10 likely doesnt want to do anything until then due to the tv contracts. So if its a rumor (which i believe it is) at least the person is using some common sense. It would make a lot of sense in that Texas could keep the Longhorn Network, ND could keep the NBC contract, and the rest of the schools could keep the Big 10 Network share.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Sep 7, 2011 -> 09:44 AM) I'm shocked that Kenneth Starr would initiate litigation. What's the Aggie equivalent of a blue dress? A sheep's butt ;-).

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Sep 7, 2011 -> 07:16 AM) Clemson won't be put in the SEC, guaranteed. An 11-1 vote would work. But apparently the SEC will go after West Virginia. Baylor is suing the SEC. Funny stuff.

Looks like it's officially done. http://tamu.scout.com/ "At tonight's SEC Presidents Meeting, early word filtering out from Atlanta indicates that Texas A&M received the sufficient votes to gain an invitation to join the Southeastern Conference effective 7/1/2012. In other news, details are sketchy but sources also indicate that the SEC presidents gave SEC Commissioner Mike Slive the authority to negotiate with both Missouri and West Virginia to possibly be the fourteenth conference member"

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 6, 2011 -> 05:54 PM) So the football schools to the Pac XX, and the basketball schools to the Big East, pretty much. Except maybe KSU is more football. Was this something you read somewhere, this configuration, or just your guess? Rumors that have been going around for a while, but have been picking up steam the last two days.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 6, 2011 -> 04:22 PM) Any chance Baylor could wind up in the "Big 10"? (I only ask because Baylor is hiring and I'd love to have IU visiting every few years) I don't see it happening, but weirder things have happened. They have good academics, and a good overall sports program. They just don't have many fans around. Their best bet would be pairing with TCU and joining the Big East. But Iowa State would be taking their place as of now.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Sep 6, 2011 -> 04:17 PM) How does the SEC manage 13 teams and why? I think we are just seeing the beginning of the movement once A&M gets it started. The issue would be that the Big East would have 20 basketball teams and 12 football teams already. If the SEC takes Clemson or VT from the ACC, where would the ACC turn? I also can't see the Big 10 expanding just to expand. It's going to be an interesting September.

Looks like tomorrow is finally the day college football is turned on its head. SEC is supposed to vote unanimously for A&M's entrance. The next likely moves are... UT, TTU, OU, Okie State to the Pac 12 Mizzou, Kansas, KSU, and Iowa State to the Big East The only school left would be Baylor, and they aren't happy about it.
