All the hardware except for the one that matters...  Alabama's First Heisman If Bama wins the BCS, you know it's going to be a good four, five years before you'll get their fans to shut up, coming from one.  |

Hell, we haven't shut up in the 17 years since the last one  Nevertheless, great award for Mark Ingram. Seems like a really good kid, and I'm so happy for him I could just about cry - which I hate to admit that I did just a bit when I saw his reaction. RTR!! |

Congrats to Ingram and the Tide. They have really re-built their dynasty and have a great program there.
But hopefully next year UT will beat 'em at Neyland Stadium!

Grats to Ingram, he sealed it with the game against Florida.
That being said, Toby Gerhart got screwed and we all know it. Every Bama fan at my party admitted they expected him to win. That's what you get for being white and playing at Stanford.

I expect being white probably gained him votes rather than lost him votes. His real problem is he plays on the West Coast at a school not named USC.

I don't know why they would. They are well positioned to dominate the sucky B12 North and the B12 contract is second only to the SEC in dollars if I am not mistaken, so it would be a lousy move.

If the Big Ten expands and keeps the same name I will from then on refer to them as the Little 12.

Some of the talk is taking a team like Rutgers or Pitt. I don't really care which one, because lord knows Notre Dame won't take it. |

Oh man, the Big Ten needs to work on getting their collective heads out of their asses, not expanding. Also, living in a city with a Big Ten university in it, having to go through what will be even worse than the media circus surrounding the Penn State entry and how it would fuck with the name etc. etc. etc. etc. will make me very stabby.
It is probably just the league wanting to find another subscriber base to hawk their terrible television "premium" network on.

Interesting. I guess that is why conferences are all trying to get their own networks since that is where the money obviously is.

There are some rumblings about Utah joining the PAC-10 in its drive to get to 12 teams.

Who would #12 be? Boise State? BYU? Fresno State wouldn't be a bad call, either. |

They would never take BYU. They are talking about Colorado although I could see Boise St. except the don't have quite enough of a research presence and their women's sports isn't all that developed, both of which are important to the PAC-10 presidents.

Like anything will ever come of this... There sure is a whole lot of fucking smoke out there, and not all of it is coming from Snoop Dog. Let USC go 7-4 a couple of years here and see how the NCAA gobbles them up. They certainly won't do it while the USC gravy, I mean money, train is hopping along nicely. |

Ya. Stephenson and Johnson are NFL material and probably Misi too. Plus, the Utes apparently don't lose in bowl games. Ever. When Wynn through that awful, awful pick-6 I thought it was going to be a rough night, but the team has icy veins and just kept plugging.

SMU put on a clinic last night... that was a tad shocking given Nev's offensive prowess.

I want to thank Nevada for blowing the biggest spread in all the bowls, and many people's #1 confidence pick in many pools. Like mine!  |

I hope he recovers and there are no lasting health problems. Big-time college football coaching is one of the most hours-intensive professions there is, and combined with screaming at kids all day long must be a pretty toxic brew. From what I've read about coaches' lives at big programs, I'm surprised any of them have intact marriages or don't have heart attacks.

Yep, it's rocked the college world. A man on top of his game has to leave because it's slowly killing him. As a human being, this news saddens me. As a Georgia fan...  |

Recruiting ploy. Half of Florida's incoming class was about to decommit before that announcement. |

Where has the conference bowl record trolling been? I'll start. Big10 is 1-0 after Wisconsin pretty decisively whipped Miami. God, is it too much to ask to give the SEC a losing record this year?  |
