QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jan 5, 2014 -> 10:37 AM) Braxton Miller coming back. Better than the CFL.

MSU is just so physical.

Golden going from Da U to PSU is a pretty sizable step down.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 4, 2014 -> 01:27 PM) Almost forgot new season starts tomorrow Season 1 yesterday, 2 today and so on.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jan 4, 2014 -> 12:41 PM) Switching back and forth between it and the BBVA Compass Bowl, but switching to MSU-IU hoops at 2:00. Also a shameless season 2 marathon on.

Am I the only nerd watching the AA game?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 4, 2014 -> 11:52 AM) You don't have to win your conference. They will just select the four best teams. It was a consensus that Alabama was a lock had the playoff been in place this year. Well the SEC is clearly an outlier. The good news is you won't have several folks with personal agenda effecting an average ranking like we have now. 2014, the first go round, will be an eye opener for sure. Hopefully pushing it to the 8 team we all know is coming.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 4, 2014 -> 09:34 AM) Nix is a great talent, but that guy needs to get himself in better shape to make himself more valuable to teams. He has problems getting winded I prefer Tuitt if I have to choose one of the domers.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 4, 2014 -> 10:50 AM) With an actual human committee, your OOC schedule will definitely be way more important. They aren't just gonna look at total losses like the voters do now. If you are a one loss team that played nobody, I could see them instead selecting a two loss team with a much tougher schedule, even if both are BCS schools You have to win your conference first and foremost to make the playoff. Some teams may need an extra marquee win but most won't. Win your conference and your conference title game and you are most likely in. Even better when it goes to 8 teams.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 4, 2014 -> 08:41 AM) To tell them he is off to Texas, good luck and sayonara I think it's a great hire.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Jan 4, 2014 -> 01:07 AM) I would have liked for it to have at least been reviewed. I don't think it would have been overturned, but it's crazy that they didn't even review a game deciding play. Meanwhile, Ohio St still hasn't beaten a Top 15 team under Urban. Time for OSU to start scheduling some better OOC games. What does OOC schedule have to do with anything? It's also about the become less important. We also have Vt and Oklahoma home and homes in the next 4 years plus a larger conference slate.

Well that turned out about how I expected. Yikes.

I really thought PSU was hiring Franklin, Golden is a shock.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 3, 2014 -> 03:30 PM) I hope it does, because he is a HOFer if he stays healthy. Based on what? I think he'll be top five and his production won't match expectations like what you just said.

Hope this game tonight turns out better than I think it will. Roby is now out too for sure.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 2, 2014 -> 05:44 PM) LSU cleaning up at All American game They didn't get nearly as many as was predicted.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 1, 2014 -> 10:35 PM) I would have loved to see the MSU D face the Auburn rushing attack. It's not that, their corners are unreal. You can run on them.

Nice win by sparty. Their defense is legit and they didn't even have their best player. Jesse Palmer "they didn't play Stanford football"

Great game.

I thought the officiating was great in this game.

QUOTE (Boogua @ Dec 31, 2013 -> 10:11 AM) He didn't stand out due to the coaching. If more of those hurries turned into sacks, which they would have with last year's coaching staff, the fans would have been calling for his head. For comparison, Carimi gave up 31 hurries last year, but he gave up 7 sacks. Mills and Long have a lot of potential on the right side and showed flashes during the year in the run game. The run blocking, however, looked even better when Mills got hurt and Britton took over on Sunday. The good thing is that Mills is only a rookie and should only get better. But to me that doesnt scream the worst player on the Bears. There are probably 5 players on defense that could take that title. Our right side of the line was made up of 2 rookies including one that had been playing the position a little over a year. Thats incredible.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 30, 2013 -> 10:16 PM) My dumb iPhone has been shutting down out of nowhere. Wipe and restore.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 29, 2013 -> 10:06 PM) I was shocked he didn't. Yup, came back to bite him in the ass a little.

OSU losing players to injuries and the flu, not a good sign for friday.

QUOTE (Boogua @ Dec 31, 2013 -> 10:04 AM) Mills was awful this year. People don't realize it because the Bears were good at getting rid of the ball quickly, thus he only gave up 3 sacks. He gave up 62 hurries, which were the most the NFL. It's amazing what good offensive coaching can cover up. It didnt stand out to me, and I thought he and Long were a good run blocking tandem. As a rookie I wouldnt put him as the worst player on the roster, not by a long shot.
