I've given this a lot of thought and finally settled on 8. 8 wins. Always be competitive for Big Ten West crown. Occasional outliers on down side are not desired but tolerated (barely), in the case of that I could be talked into a bowl game at minimum.

Good post, can't help but wonder what the snarky side was going to unleash..... C'mon.....let the snark flow....this is a message board after all.....

I've wondered this myself at times, esp. when there were stories/pics/write ups in the off season about it, but it's kind of water under the bridge now. He might not even play in the bowl game. I will miss him thought. Certainly never a dull moment . It's a shame he didn't get to play on his senior day.

Sounds a lot like Joe Dailey when he went to Duke. And Beck at NC State and Green at Tulsa. I think out of them all Green had the most success but I don't think he exactly lit the world on fire. Oh, and that kid that transferred to Yale, I think he did well enough he made the Senior Bowl, don't think he got drafted though.

in case anyone cares, this year was a bit odd in that I feel asleep almost immediately after kickoff, woke up around halftime and then stayed awake for the end of the game. Then I watched the DVR'd Kansas game,...not fun, but wasn't expecting it to be.

I really like the guy, but I wouldn't rule out a firing after this season. I've even heard him joke about it in post game. He know's he's about out of time.

No thanks, I'm good.

Its all good, I thought that we would play Indiana at home also, until I repeatedly checked the schedule. The schedule is set up really weird. I mean OSU three straight years and Indiana only once? That is really strange to me. Lets hope we can do well in 2017, especially at home. A 10-2 record would be a great step for us with losses to OSU at home and Penn State on the road. It would also send us to the CCG most likely. I once asked and received a reply post from someone on this board who had cracked the Big Ten rotational code. I'll go looking for it. It was pretty awesome.

I really want the Riley thing to work out in the worst way but I was going to say this: Until I saw this: Only way Riley gets fires is if Eich gets Peterson'd after an Okie State like halftime walk out like during the Cally days. And if that happens TO won't come back to right the ship this time.

Sucks getting old...doesn't it. I was never that cool, even before I got old. No annual "bonks" even in my glory days.

I thought of another one, my wife and I have Monty Pythons "Holy Grail" on repeat as we wrap Christmas Presents, this is something I've done even before I met her but I enjoy her embracing my preexisting tradition. Every year she stops at the "Dennis outside of the autonomous collective castle" part of the movie and laughs like it's the first time she's seen it.

I seem to suffer from a sort of football based narcolepsy where the more exciting a football game is and the closer that game is to a conclusion the more likely I am to black out. So much so I missed a large portions of arguably the most exciting game of more recent times the Boise State/Oklahoma bowl game. With the advent of the DVR this has lessened a bit but I still struggle weekly. Fighting all year long I relent and allow myself to watch a the same game every year with the full knowledge that I will fall asleep and that's okay. That game is the Army/Navy game. It's normally the only game on that day, the last of the college football season and I know it's not patriotic but it just feels right for some reason, so every year that's my "sleep game" Another unique yearly tradition is that my wife and I watch "Mallrats" every year around Easter due to events in the movie correlating with that holiday. What are some of your rather odd yearly traditions?

This thread is brutal, I used all my plus ones for the day.

That was back when the news used actual facts and stuff. How quaint.

I don't know what the big insult is, most of that stuff is awesome.

This thread feels like a set up or a trap or an inside joke I'm not a part of.

This was my impression too. He seems to be going "All in" with this Non-con schedule. He joked with that S.D. coach after that game on the air, gave him crap about "auditioning for my job" I know he was just joking around but I think he knows the heat is on him. Plus isn't his contract about up?

I've still seen them on a lot of "Best of" lists. I'd like to get your take on this Guy. From what I understand the triplets were amazing but the 83 defense was the weakness. After the Okie State game teams (if they were smart) used it as a blue print and ate up clock trying to keep our O off the field. Is that at all accurate? Also at what point in the game did Rozier go down?

Love the fantasy baseball team name.

That's odd I always pictured you working for a pizza place...... btw did the red-head get yelled at too? Or did she skate because she had the right "look" ?

In college I worked for the owner of an Ice Cream shop. I got the job because a buddy of mine was the shift manager or some other bs, I can't remember. I came in early on certain days because most that worked there were high school kids not allowed in the freezer and that dropped off deliveries. My buddy was a good looking guy and could do no wrong, he would stand in the blind spot of the camera's in the place and make out with another girl that worked there (intentionally) while I was left to fend for myself with the customers. Meanwhile the owner would spend hours watching the camera tapes, take notes and chew me out for every time I leaned or stopped working or did anything wrong. She was a penny pincer to the point where I'm almost 100% sure health code violations were broken. We had little tasting spoons for different kinds of ice cream for people to try before they invested in an entire scoop. She would actually have us re-collect those, rewash and reuse them. Also when we laid out all the blenders and ice cream scoops and stuff at the end of the night to dry we would re-use the same paper towels every night to save money. If you used "Fresh" paper towels you'd better have a good reason. And then in the morning roll up and carefully put the paper towels back. God forbid you ripped one.... One time we thought we were out of milk so I got sent to get more while she was out and when she came apparently we still had some. I got ripped up one side and down another. I wish she would have just fired me on the spot. I also got yelled at for giving customers both too much and too little ice cream. Another time I got yelled at when she sent me herself to get more banana's for banana splits, I got ripped for buying the "expensive" kind. Another thing we did (only when she was physically there) was she had us charge people 25 cents per dixie cup of water. I know it was her business but it sucked having to look people in eye and tell them that. The way I got out of it was summer eventually ended, although I said I had to go back to school a lot earlier than I really did. All that for 4.25 an hour.

My site's only giving +4.5 to us that doesn't seem like much. Are we really that close this year?

Thanks knapp! you're awesome!

Can you squeeze one on my Avatar man? If not it's cool.
