Re: B1G adds Pinstripe Bowl, plans additional events in NYC

NYC is great during the Christmas season.

Plus, the B1G will make a fortune with the NYC and DC media markets.

Re: How to Heal B1G Football

I doubt it ever happens. For one, the Big Ten was never THE dominant conference for a substantial period of time. Second, recruiting is primarily local and recruiting is the life-blood of college sports (see below).

Federal Hocking Head Coach Rocky Brunty Retires

I was told last night that Coach Rocky Brunty will not be returning to coach Federal Hocking next year. To put it simply,he won a lot of games and his players had a lot of fun. He is also a good guy and a friend. My best wishes to Coach Brunty going forward. It is the end of a very good era of baseb...

Re: Brady Hoke to be named as head coach at Michigan

In 2012, Michigan should beat OSU for DE/DT Chris Wormley and OT Jordan Diamond. Those are absolute must-gets for Michigan, and should be an expectation for the 2012 class.

Re: Brady Hoke to be named as head coach at Michigan

Not that is changes his abilities as a player either way, but this is what Allen Trieu said about Chris Bryant to my direct question about receiving an OSU offer: "Late interest in Bryant, widely reported that he was offered. He told me it was a we-want-you-here type verbal offer. He was not wi...

Re: Brady Hoke to be named as head coach at Michigan

I think you will change your tune if that QB turns out to be Brees caliber. I think have a qb v not having a qb is a win. I think it is silly to even make a remark about the highlight of his era, considering he has been recruiting for all of a week and three days now. I agree with Orestes, but I do...

Re: Brady Hoke to be named as head coach at Michigan

The key for Hoke won't be his ability to get bodies on the Michigan roster. The key will be his ability to beat OSU in Ohio, not for the guys without OSU offers, but for the Braxton Miller, Steve Miller, Doran Grant, etc.. Obviously, he is scrambling now, so not much can be said about his performance.

Re: The Difference between the SEC and everyone else...

Orestes just curious why you are anti playoff? I fear it would grow to the point of ruining the regular season. Obviously, a four-team, six-team, or eight-team playoff would not substantially impact the importance of the regular season. However, the NCAA College Basketball Tournament also started s...

Auburn played at WVU in 2008. I'm not sure where or if WVU was ranked at the time. LSU comes to WVU next year. Actually, I believe Morgantown is south of the mason dixon line.

Re: Brady Hoke to be named as head coach at Michigan

It isn't just that Tressel won a NC at YSU. He won four and made it to six. So, in fifteen years at YSU, he coached in six national championships. Now, in 25 years as a head coach, he has coached in nine national championship games. Thus, in thirty-six percent of his seasons, his teams have made the...

Re: Auburn 2011 Nat Champ SEC 5 in a row !

Let them investigate every college footbll player, and 90% of them would be ruled ineligible For things similar to what the Tat 5 did? Maybe 50% tops. For things like Cam Newton? 1-5% tops. We're talking a pay-to-play scandal during the recruiting process. This money issue went to the heart of the ...

Re: Bowl Results By Conference

It would be nicer to see Oregon or Auburn's cute offenses playing in a playoff in Madison or Columbus in late December/ early January.

Alabama would be just fine up north, because they are tough and physical. They grind it out.

Re: national title game who wins.

I am not that impressed with Cam Newton. Call me a homer, but I would take T Pryor over him. He has missed wide open receivers and is not making the highlight plays we were all expecting. But it is still in the first half too! After watching Cam and Auburn now: Does anyone out there really think th...
