Yawn...this is such small stuff down here in SEC country... THE SEC, WE PUT THE "PRO" IN PROBATION" Any football paymaster in California recently brutally murdered to seal his lips? Any USC coach (like Fulmer) saying that subpoenaed documents have been lost? Any lawyer for a scandal ridden former re...

Nothing is "wrong" with Hofstra...But how do you think Hofstra would have done in the ACC or Big Ten? Hofstra lost last year to James Madison (by 31 points), Furman, and University of New Hampshire....I suspect that TCU might win a couple more games in the ACC or Big Ten than Hofstra. I agree that I...

I am not talking about all the Katrina stuff (that;s your attempt at a diversion)...I am talking about a team that is weaker than Hofstra...

My opinion is backed up by more than just...opinion....Hope you can enlighten me about how Tulane is an "excellent" team...LOL

Spence..I have loved the Noles for decades...I remember how thrilled we were in '78 to beat Cincinnati..... FSU did have a method to moving up to the big time in the 80's... 1. Recruit a few great players..Ron Simmons put FSU on the map in 1979-1980...the big Nose Guard dominated the defensive line ...

Well, I am no casual fan...I am a diehard football addict...but I call 'em the way I see 'em. Tulane would be given double digit points against every team in the Big East (Sagarin 2005). I DO NOT "RESPECT" TULANE. Tulane is soooo baaad...that the Green Wave would have been given points against IAA R...

I played poker the other night with one of FSU's offensive linemen...he says that the defense this year will be brutal...the offensive line is in better shape..not a great O line, but one that is deeper and less banged up than last year's with more experience with the new zone blocking scheme instit...

but whom would you have schools like Akron, NIU, and Marshall schedule if they wish to become a better program nationally? Jason...I'd have them schedule LSU, South Cal, Notre Dame, Auburn, Miami, Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State, VT, BC...all teams that FSU scheduled when they wanted to make a...

People trivialize how good these schools can be. Tulane is an outstanding team. People who don't think so, obviously aren't very intelligent. MAC schools are competitive. Tulane..Is an outstanding team? Oh bullfeathers!! Tulane, in the last ten seasons is 2-14 against BCS teams...according to your ...

Lincoln HS vs Leon HS is competitive as well.....so what? It's not compelling to folks whose kids don't go to the schools. Watching two untalented teams play each other because they "are competitive" is OK for some, I reckon...but trying to make a silk purse out of this hog's ear is silly....it is w...

In Florida its slicker than that....The Gator's hired a guy who has just been on the roster at QB the last two years for Tennessee...supposedly CJ Leak is an office aide in the athletic department at Fla...playbook, signals, tendencies...all there. http://www.alligator.org/pt2/050913foot.php Another...

That should not be difficult.....BCS conferences are padding their schedules with "Snyder syndrome" teams... The following are playing teams finishing AP Top 25 last year..a sample Akron vs Penn State Central Mich vs VT W. Kentucky vs Georgia N. Illinois vs Ohio St. FAU vs Clemson N. Texas vs Texas ...

Derek...buy a dish and a package! There may be niche markets for folks who would rather watch Akron Vs Memphis than Ohio State vs Notre Dame...but there is no mass interest in that kind of match up. You get a better product by watching Florida High School football on TV (and more people watch it on ...

The local waffle house is always freezing...a friend's son who worked there in college told me that keeping it cold discourages lingering over coffeee reading the paper, etc...they depend on volume and fast turnover in a small footprint store.

LOL

LOL...what a mind...VT struggled some before beating a Topo 25 team while TCU was beat by a nobody like SMU and taken to OT twice by other non ranked teams...VT might have lost two games to two ranked teams...but TCU would have lost four or five... You can't go to a good bowl if you do not beat anyb...
