  1. The whole John McEnroe "saga" shows how people care more about political correctness over facts.

      Agreed. We're debating semantics now, but I think we all agree it was a dumb line of questions. Men & women don't compete together because we have different physical capabilities. That's no more a knock on women than saying men can't have babies is a knock on us. It's just how it is.

  2. Mizzou protestors are upset that Paris is getting more media coverage than they are. Probably helps when the media is actually allowed to cover the situation. Not to mention, 150 people were murdered.

  6. As much as I’m happy to see the B1G have a good bowl season, I cant get excited living vicariously through other teams’ success. Seems like a very SEC thing to do. Can’t wait for us to be contributing next year.

      @Vizsla1

      I think the Nebraska football vs Nebraska b-ball shirt is an apples-orange comparison to the situation discussed. Wearing a Nebraska shirt to a UCF game is rubbing the UCF’s face in the dirt. You can wear some neutral shirt to the game, or even wear UCF colors. 

    3. ColoradoHusk

      ColoradoHusk

      I am with the guys in this thread.  You don't need to wear your Husker gear to every game you go to.  You must have plain shirts that you can wear to a football game, or even black for UCF.

    4. ladyhawke

      ladyhawke

      I root for other teams in our conference because I'm tired of the SEC rhetoric and I'm tired of the B1G being referred to as weak as well.

      I think it's a travesty for Nebraska to hijack the Peach Bowl by wearing red.  Let UCF have this moment!  It makes us look like the country hicks that that many in the sports world perceives us to be!  

      As for living vicariously through the other teams in our conference, I'm not for that but I like watching good football and the teams in the B1G have played some good football during these bowl games.  

      Not being in a bowl game this year is humiliating. Not necessarily for the bowl game itself but that we were so bad that we couldn't even muster up 6 wins??? Embarrassing!

      They may be able to attempt to frame the AD but are they sure that the reporter who broke the story doesn't have more proof of Urb's awareness of the problem.  If the Board throws all their eggs in UM's basket then new info comes out there may be a push to cleanse the Regents seats.

    4. Redux

      Yeah I'm fine with them trying to blatantly pin this on the AD.  Exactly zero people are going to fall for that so if they actually go through with this dumb plan it will be even more of a disaster for them down the road.

       

      This should be fun to watch.

      The only teams that will find a P5 place to land are Texass, Oklahoma, and Kansas (thanks only to Basketball). *Maybe* Kansas State to the SEC to lock down the KC market. The rest will either have to gobble up AAC, MW, MAC, or CUSA teams to keep the conference going, or become scattered to the also-ran conferences.

      Coach, just stop it. People bagging on the French for not going into Iraq is moronic. And saying they didn't fight with us against terrorism after 9/11 is ignorant. They're felling the effects of Islamic extremist now more than we are.

    3. ZRod

      ZRod

      C N I think we had everyone's support until Iraq. Yes we sacrificed the most, but we were the one's directly attacked, and have by far the most resources. I think the world understood how 9/11 hurt us, they just didn't understand that it would come to everyone's turf eventually.

      I used the Metra once with my fiancée and her aunt. It was a lot quicker than the L (fewer stops) but I think it's more expensive and not as easy to figure out. @knapplc From personal experience, we stayed in Evanston a few years ago, took the L downtown and then walked to museum campus. It was probably 70 minutes of travel time overall. I've also taken the O'Hare train down to the loop and, IIRC, that was about 45-50 minutes.

      I'm looking at Airbnb's in the North Chicago area. Most of the things we want to do are around downtown, so a quick drive down Lakeshore should get us there.

  13. If we knock of an undefeated Iowa, we'd be one of only three teams to beat two top ten teams. Just figured I'd join the game of stating random facts. This is also assuming Michigan State losses to Ohio State. Alabama is one and whoever wins Bedlam is the other

      Really sucks for Richt, but it's hard to argue with. He's underperformed in a big way for the last decade, and lately with the worst possible conference division handed right to him to win.

      It would be ridiculous if UGA made it in over Oklahoma or Ohio State.  Not only would they not be a conference champion, they would have 2 losses.  It doesn't matter if they are "good losses", their wins aren't all that impressive.  The committee has pumped up Florida and Kentucky, just because they are in the SEC, and they want to make the SEC teams look good.
