Man TCU looks terrible.
And I swear this director is driving me nuts. We don't need three crowd reaction shots after (and sometimes during) every single play, no matter how pedestrian. I WAN TO WATCH THE DAMN GAME NOT A BUNCH OF YAHOOS IN THE STANDS!

Big 10 really stepped up this year. I really didn't think Iowa had it in them considering how shaky they looked all season.

Jesus fucking tapdancing Christ, is the bowl season STILL going?
GMAC Bowl, C. Michigan vs. Troy
Really? Who the hell is going to sit down and watch that? And it gets a spotlight date after New Year's Day? CBB will have finished its second week of CONFERENCE play before the BCS NC game. Fucking clownshoes.

You are correct - no one gives a shit about the whatever bowl or buy-my-shit bowl. Honestly, its helps to just give the finger to the money grab BCS along with all the other meaningless bowl games and stick with who won their respective divisions. Grab NCAA20XX and make your own bracket and let the computer play it out for you. As for the BCS Bowl to crown who the same computers think should be fighting at the top, doesn't matter really... Either way, the process remains mostly the same. |

I'm surprised that you guys don't complain about the NIT as well. If you think the Bowl system is bad, the NIT is a playoff for 65th place.
It's all about keeping the money wagon on the road and helping scouts get as many looks at kids as humanly possible.

I've heard rumblings that the Big 10 is going to try to raid the Big East's big media markets and basically kill it as a football conference by scooping up 3-5 teams so the BCS pie is divided into fewer pieces. Seems far out there but I could see them trying it.

I would bitch about the NIT too but it usually flies under the radar. It would be relevant and cool if it was done before the conference season started though.

I don't think I've ever sat through an entire NIT game. It doesn't exist for me. I'm almost done with basketball as a whole. I never thought I'd say this, but I'd rather they get rid of the one year in college thing. I don't want to watch players that have no desire to be there. All these one and doners seem to bring with them is one season of elevated wins followed by inevitable sanctions for the program. The NBA sucks, so any impact there is negligible for me. |

You can thank the fact that a sizable percentage of ESPN's crew has roots in Mobile Alabama that there's a GMAC Bowl at all. I haven't checked, Has Ivan Maisel let slip that everyone in his family except for him are so deeply in bed with the University of Alabama as to be conjoined? |

Looks like Jim Leavitt was fired today. I've been of the opinion for a couple of years now that he'd hit the ceiling as far as how far he could take the program, but it's still a shame to see him go under these circumstances.
I'm sure it would be amusing to Auburn fans if they knew how much people here want to see USF hire Tommy Tuberville. Personally, I think Charlie Strong would have been a great fit but he's already gone to Loiusville. Oh well.

ESPN reporting that the Seahawks fired Jim Mora and that Pete Carroll is their choice for coach and that Carroll is trying to convince Jeremy Bates to go with him. Chris Mortensen is saying it's just about a done deal. Just a guess, but I'll be shocked if Carroll stays and when he goes NCAA sanctions are sure to follow. His AD has been stonewalling the NCAA for years on Reggie Bush but any coach they hire isn't going to want to take the fall for it. |
