Official 2009 "Media Darling" thread

[HailToMichigan]

UNC is legit. Georgia Tech would be on the list if they were media darlings, but I think they will be by the end of the year. Got high hopes for GT. Oklahoma State - also legit.

Not legit: MSU and Iowa. I had a few small misgivings about Iowa before the season, which turned into huge misgivings this weekend. There's a lot of inexperience on MSU's O-line and on defense. We'll see how they do this week and next against ND - I think they picked the wrong Directional Michigan to play this week.

GO BLUE!

WHOA!!
you can't say shit like that in here

BYU shoots up the charts, possibly #1 MD for the year now.

I heard someone say they were going to the MNC game if they go undefeated.

I can and I will, all week long and especially on Saturday. It doesn't take much of a brain to do the algebra on this:

Notre Dame wins + NBC = Cash and Media Love for Notre Dame Only

Michigan wins = Cash and Media Love for ALL Big 10 teams

6NDW + ML = High Bowl Bid + Cash for ND only

6MW = Bowl Bid + Cash for ALL B10

Cash = Recruiting = More Wins

GO BLUE!

Still, it's just distasteful.....

Go Meteors!

There... that just feels right.

I have a hard time imagining you rooting for the Buckeyes against "Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Ole Piss, Miss St, Florida, So Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Vandy, and UGA" in a bowl game.

 

[Nutriaitch]

I have a hard time imagining you rooting for the Buckeyes against

Alabama - NOTHING good can come from an Alabama victory
Arkansas - don't hate them, but like OSU more
Auburn - would root for Satan before i'd root for Auburn
Ole Piss - hate them, hate their coach, easy to root against
Miss St - don't have to worry about them in a bowl game
Florida - already rooted for y'all (even though i had money on FU) and mich against them in bowl games. they damn sure don't need to win any more NCs to flash at kids we're both recruiting.
So Carolina - already rooted for y'all against them TWICE in bowl games
Tennessee - fuck 'em
Kentucky - see Arky
Vandy - see Arky & Miss St
UGA - oh please! these azzhole whine about EVERYTHING! jesus H christ, win a fucking title or two before beating your chest for a change.

in a bowl game.

Well now that Old Bitch has fallen (and Oklahoma State has too), who is the most media-loved team at the moment, and who is next to go?

Cincy is becoming it...

Nutri is well established as a rare breed of SEC fan who actually roots for his own team, not a conference as an escape from his team's lack of success (see: the heavy volume of Bama, Ark, Tenn, Aub fans that swamped this board after LSU's wins).

 

[Dryden]

Now that Ole Miss is out of the way, your 2009 media darlings are Miami, Cal, and Cincinnati, as evidenced by Harris and Best being the Heisman frontrunners, and Cincy being the best football team in the state of Ohio.

 

[NateG]

Yeah I was gonna say Miami... Sportscenter is "Miami this and Miami that and How Awesome is that Harris... oooooooh my pants just rose." When they get beat in the next two weeks then it will die down. But good Harris isn't the best player in college football. And Miami isn't as good as people think. GT isn't good and FSU had no clue what they were doing and shoulda won that game(Harris thought they lost on the sideline).

 

[Jake]

Most likely to rise to the occasion: Boise State and Michigan State
Most likely to fall: Oklahoma State, North Carolina and Iowa

Shouldn't be too difficult for Boise to "rise to the occasion" when the only thing close to a tough game on their schedule was their home opener versus Oregon. Boise State has been perpetually overrated since their upset of Oklahoma, their only bowl win in the last five years.

Good call on Oklahoma State. Their win over UGa only added to the hype before Houston kicked their asses.

 

[BrutusBobcat]

Ole Miss
Cal
North Carolina

Three more victims this week.

Iowa is back in the media's good graces, despite lacking offense. It's okay for them to win with D, apparently.

Houston is the new kid on the MD list this week. USF is getting a lot of love, also.
