    Face it...This has been a special season.

    On the flip side, Notre Dame has/will have played Michigan, Tennessee, USC, and Ohio State. Quite impressive, as well ...

    ACC bid up for review?

    Buckinghorse: "Just making things a little more clear." Considering the fact that the only thing that could keep the ACC out of the BCS is a nuclear holocaust or maybe the next Ice Age, I'd say that postage would be the least of our worries. And the bottom line is (as ex eluded to), this...

    ACC bid up for review?

    jwinslow: "they made the rule, knowing a cash cow conference could struggle and lose their bid. Are they just going to ignore the rule they made about automatic bids?" Yes. They had every chance (and reason) to 86 the Big Least this past season, and didn't do it. And there's not a big...

    Welcome: Irish Fans (Merged)

    There's no way a pocket QB with no mobility can beat this defense. No matter how good he is. You need a QB with feet and arm to keep the Linebackers honest. Drew Tate, Drew Stanton, Brett Basanez, and Chad Henne are all All-America caliber QBs who got stifled by this defense. Brady Quinn...

    ACC bid up for review?

    jwinslow: "based on what sloopy? methomps pointed out that unless FSU is above #18, their conference champions will not average #12, which is the magic number to maintain the bid." Based on the fact that the ACC is a powerful conference with big schools and financial influence. Why would...

    ACC bid up for review?

    The ACC is going nowhere. They really should 86 the Big East. Whatever Bowl they get slotted into has been snooze central the last two seasons. Does anyone have any interest whatsoever in seeing WVU-Georgia??

    ACC and Big 12 Championship Games

    Yesterday was a perfect example of how these "Championship" games are stupid and overblown. For the sake of this argument, I'll even throw USC and UCLA into my rant .. Of the four games yesterday, here's are the conclusions: 1. The Pac 10 doesn't have another team with a pulse. It was...

    Retiring Numbers (Merged)

    Zurp: "Except I don't know that it's a good idea to erect a statue to everyone that anyone considers "great." I don't think they should have a statue for all the great players. Maybe like 2 or 3 that strike a certain chord, and some kind of Monument Park inside or outside the Stadium that...

    Retiring Numbers (Merged)

    I'm glad you brought this up: 1. I'm not for retiring any numbers at the college level. To me, this retiring of Heisman winners is dumb. For instance, Orlando Pace was easily as great, as dominant, and as classy as anyone to ever lace 'em up for the Scarlet & Gray. His career at OSU was...

    Superman

    exhawg: "I remember an interview with Stan Lee where he said they wanted to make Spiderman ever since Batman came out in 89, but they didn't have enough money to get it done." Actually, they always had the money, but the movie rights to Spiderman were owned by a 3rd Party and tied up in legal...

    A-Rod or Jeter to play Center Field?

    buckeyefool: "So are you saying that A-rod deserved the mvp?" Yes. MVP of the 2005 American League Division Series.

    A-Rod or Jeter to play Center Field?

    crazybuckfan40: "Do they have a young prospect coming up at short or something?" Their best prospect is at 3B. He was at Double A last year, and will be promoted to C-Bus this season. The scoop on him is that he can also play 1B or either of the corner OF spots, so I'd see them moving him...

    A-Rod or Jeter to play Center Field?

    Thump: "I highly doubt it will happen but wondered what some people, especially Sloopy45, have to say about this." Never, ever happen. That's about all I have to say.

    NCAA and Endzone Celebrations

    To me, I'm glad the NCAA doesn't tolerate that crap. I'm all for exuberance, but the T.O./Chad Johnson/whoever antics in the NFL have gotten out of hand. However, on the flip side, the refs are completely irresponsible when they call it. The two worst calls I ever saw (and yes, they were...

    BCS Chances (El Gigante Merge)

    BuckeyeBill: "It is not clear to me that the benefits to the local business community will have that much effect on the team selections unless those benefits reach the Fiesta Bowl itself." The city of Tempe and the Fiesta Bowl are intertwined. Just like Miami & the Orange Bowl, Pasadena &...

    ACC and Big 12 Championship Games

    BB73: "If they both won, one of them would have gone to the NC game, so at least one of them was 'derailed'. In Tennessee's case, since Texas had lost the week before, and Tennessee was #2 in the polls and had the #3 SOS in the country, they were definitely in the Rose Bowl win a win against...

    BCS Chances (El Gigante Merge)

    BuckeyeBill: "The fallacy with that argument is that the money is there regardless of whether its Oregon or Ohio State." Yes, there will be a huge amount of money involved, be it Oregon or OSU. But no business exec in the world is going to say, "Oh, we'd make a million dollars anyway...

    BCS Chances (El Gigante Merge)

    BKB: "I doubt FSU gets it done, but don't be shocked if UGA beat LSU." Agreed. I think LSU is very overrated & coasted on a weak schedule this season. I'm picking the 'Dawgs, in fact. Jax: "As bad as FSU is, I really think its a toss up." Not me. FSU is awful. And they've been...
