Thread for "it just means more" is making fun of the SEC, isn't it? I like to make fun of fans of SEC teams because they think differently from the way I do. I'm in this thread to make fun of Tennessee fans because they think differently from the way I do. And therefore, they're wrong. Sure...

A buddy of mine had an idea that I like: move the bowl games to the beginning of the next season. Every team qualifies for a bowl, but many or most are at home fields for one team. You still have the Sugar Bowl, Rose Bowl, Poop Bucket Bowl... but that's Week 1 of the next year. The only...

Yeah. I'll give him credit for Day, and probably Lanning. Give Cignetti time. I still think they'll fall back toward being "Indiana" very soon. Bielema? Rhule? Riley? Are we just naming current Big Ten coaches? To be fair, I can't name very many SEC head coaches, so maybe Bielema, Rhule, and...

I don't care if the NCAA gets disbanded, or the Big Ten, or whatever. Just punish the cheaters up north first.

I believe that losing to Iowa was Ohio State's second loss that year. 2017? So that wasn't all that was factored into keeping Ohio State out that year. But 2018, Purdue was Ohio State's only loss. Yeah. What was I thinking? I don't know. The probably shouldn't have been a thing. But Tennessee...

"Ohio State does what the SEC wants?" Like, does Ohio State do what the SEC wants to do? That seems to be what BN27 said. Or, does Ohio State do what the SEC wants Ohio State to do? "You get your butts out there and beat 2 of our teams, plus the team that beat our 3rd team, and win that...

The fact that Brett McMurphy is sending the message along doesn't say much for Brett McMurphy. And I didn't think much of him, before this. But I'll bite. Let's see how other people did against your opponents. I'll agree it isn't the same, but it's a start. Western Kentucky - W - Western...

Say the SEC does start to break away. But the Big Ten hesitates. Do any teams in the Big Ten leave to join the rebels, or is conference loyalty high enough that schools would rather stay in the Big Ten?

1. Yep. And it's all very reactionary. If your favorite team didn't get into the BCS national championship game, let's change the formula so that your team SHOULD HAVE made it. See? Now it's better and fixed. I don't have a resolution, since you won't find the flaws in a system until the flaws...

They could field a football team with the staffers they've fired, suspended, or given show-causes to. Can YOUR football team field a football team with staffers they've..... no - no they can't.

Hm. That's an interesting point. I wonder if more dominoes would have fallen. Who did they play the next week? Would they have also cancelled? I figured that the Big Ten forced State to play the game because of the money involved. I didn't think about the idea that maybe the state government...

There was a time where if you no money, and a new bet was opened, you'd get $50 or something.

1. For the record, I like the straight seeding method better. 2. The reason for this change is about the worst logic ever. Imagine if you're in a Rock/Paper/Scissors contest, best X out of Y. And in the first round, you go with Scissors, and your opponent goes with Rock. Does that mean Scissors...

In 2010, before the Sugar Bowl, we learned about Ohio State receiving impermissible benefits. The Big Ten and the Sugar Bowl begged and pleaded with the NCAA to allow Ohio State's players to play. The NCAA agreed, and Ohio State won. Some months later, the entire season was vacated. A case could...

Plus, I got to say, "chip chop chip." I forget the last time that I went a whole day without saying that.
