Was thinking the same thing. These aren't that bad, but they're not that good either.

So we've been in the CCG three of the last five years. And since we've joined the B1G, we have the third best record in conference play, barely behind two teams that were in the Top 5 last year and we only have a losing record against one team in conference (iirc), a team coming off a 20+ game winning streak. But we're not a contender. Got it. upper middle is good. I never said it was not. Now... NU has been, as you say, #3. That is what I say too. And numerically the # 3 is close to the #1 and implies perhaps being a contender. But NU, upon closer inspection, has not been actually competitive with any of the conference champions these past 4 years. MSU this year, OSU teams since Meyer, or the Wisconsin teams... each were handily beyond NU in those respective seasons. I seem to recall beating conference champ Wisconsin two years ago.....

I'd feel a lot better about my tickets if they'd email them to me like I requested. Ten days later and I still don't have my tickets. I have a pending credit card change (thanks, Target!) and I'm holding off until I get these tickets to be sure the charge goes through. Any day now would be nice. And a better explanation than "We're waiting to send out a mass email" would be nice, too. They don't do that with any other purchase-at-home tickets I've bought. Why the change? Did they send them out right away last year? Seems like it took awhile but I don't remember for sure.

Because that doesn't fall in the last 1.5 years?

So your argument is it was a total fluke that we were ahead 17-0 in a conference championship game?

By the way, LSU was 5-3 in the SEC this year. So was Georgia. One of LSU's three losses was to ... wait for it ... Georgia.

While you may personally think this, Mavric is (IMO) presenting pretty telling facts that directly disagree with what you're saying. Well, I think what he is stating is paritally true. Yes, we're 3-1 against those teams the last year and a half which suggests progression. However, he conveniently left out the blowout loss to Ohio State earlier in the year, which makes our record 3-2. This is only slightly more impressive, and win you consider that 2 of those wins were against a struggling Michigan team... it's not like those were program defining wins like say, a victory against an LSU. I didn't conveniently leave anything out. Our record against all the five star teams is in the post. And now you're hedging. This all started discussing recruiting success and how it can predict on field success. Have you totally abandoned that argument now and moved on to only worrying about on field success?

Hooper moved into second place tonight, passing Ivy. Probably not going to catch Jennings at this point but should be in the ballpark.

Or perhaps he was just saying he didn't believe that it belonged in the same class as race, color, sex, age, etc. and you are making a pretty good leap.

really? i'm not sure you could come up with a schedule that is easier. maybe flip the home/away games I guess - but the teams on this schedule are as weak as any schedule we will ever get in the B1G. Why? Because we don't play Ohio State? We have last year's Rose Bowl champion on the road, plus last year's #3 team (away), #4 team (away) and #6 team (home). Considering we were #5, we play four of the top five teams we could have played and three of them are on the road. And there were three really bad teams in the conference last year plus two newbies that aren't exepected to be at the top so we were bound to get several of the jumbled mess at the bottom.

Chancellor?

So you're just basing that on your "reason" instead of actually looking at the won-lost records of the teams in the conference?

Says he want to go somewhere where they use the FB/HB a lot and he can play early. Sounds like Bama is luring him by saying they have one FB/TE who the supposedly want to play more TE so they don't really have a FB currently.
