HC - Tressel

OC - Frost

DC - Muschamp

For the sake of our conference, both of our teams need new coaches.

UAB and Memphis might have one of my favorite trophies:

 

 

"Battle for the Bones"

This is the greatest trophy ever!

I really hope they dont try to take the naming of the trophy too seriously like the heros trophy. these trophies are supposed to be cheeky and fun. I really like the idea of a chamionship belt.

Maybe this year we don't choke.

This pretty much sums up my expectation for the year. With a big stress on the "maybe".

I would gladly take Urban over our joke of a coach any day

Still waiting for a solid reason to back up all the hate he gets

Questions for all the Bo supposters. Do you guys really believe he is a good head coach/CEO or are you just scared about the uncertainty of another coaching change?

The best thing about Cam was his hair and stache....

the best thing about Cam is that we never have to watch him play another snap for Nebraska ever again.

I would take OU over ND any day of the week.

serious question, have any of you actually heard anything that would lead you to believe VV is going to actually contribute this year? everything I have read about the kid suggests that he is soft and he doesnt like to work very hard. not trying to start a big arguement. just curious.

I guess I am in the dark about this wifi person as well which really doesn't matter to me (don't PM me with the details) lol, because I could care less! If he/she is an impost-ter, I have seen those things before and it just brings down a board.

 

As for what the facts are in this latest team issue, I heard on the radio this morning that there still are no suspensions and there may not be at all?

What a surprise! I would welcome someone to outline (timeline) how this all started and what we really know for sure (facts) this morning if there are any yet?

So far here is what we know for sure.

Something may or may not have happened regarding husker players at a party.

There may or may not be some players dismissed from the team.

Thats it so far.

I know this is a pipe dream because it sounds like the big ten has no interest in OU but my dream scenario would be to add texas and OU to make 16.

Go Blue!

 

 

Nice! its good to see the Big Ten do good in at least 1 sport.

Willing to bet that these divisions aren't set for more than two years of play.

my thoughts exactly

What is the purpose of this?

Its a message board. people post things on message boards. Im pretty sure thats the purpose.

Maybe something like this?

 

turdue would be the one that is oddly placed but it would be a work in progress.

 

South: Notre Dame/ North Carolina / Duke / Georgia Tech / Florida State

East: Virginia/ Penn State / Purdue / Rutgers / Maryland

Central: Ohio State/ Sparty / Indiana / Illinois / ann arbor

West: Nebraska / Wisconsin / Minnesota / Iowa / Northwestern

I fully support this model!

Soooooooo, this thread has pretty much died. Does that mean that expansion is pretty much on hold for the time being?

 

 

We can make up stuff if you'd like

As long as its entertaining Im ok with that. haha!

scarletNcream Thanks for the info!

Maybe the big ten reached out to a school and they said they werent interested. That wouldnt technically be an "offer". Just putting out feelers. Other boards have rumored that this school could have been Vandy. Im not saying that it was but they definitley would fit the big ten.

Just heard that Dodds decided to take supreme control. So he cancelled the meeting and is going to make all decisions going forward. From a reliable source at west virginia.

 

 

That West Virginia dude mentioned that WVU was part of the Big Ten expansion plans

Did he really say that? He's had so many ridiculous tweets that its hard to keep up. i guess he finally deactivated his twitter account.

from sources not tied to WVU in any way.

 

Duke might be hanging out with some Midwest and East Coast schools in a new conference(it's at least being discussed at Duke)

 

This Midwest/East Coast conference has nothing to do with the Big Ten though...

most of these schools wouldnt be former big east members would they?

Unless it's a package with UVA, Duke, NC, and Kansas. Ga. Tech and FSU (gawd, I wish) could come in later.

 

You will have to choose Matthew,

 

FSU or KU because Delany wants to leave that extra spot for Our Mother.

 

 

 

 

So is FSU a real option at this point? I dont have any inside info but I was under the impression that they were more of a pipe dream.

 

A longshot but they still are considered a real option. Until the right people say no way(and the Big Ten has been listening to their pitch) then I will not count them out.

 

MR Red--here's the thing. FSU needs a better paycheck and television exposure than what the ACC can provide in their new deal. Unless the ACC can preform a magic trick to get Mickey Mouse to pony up more cash, their only options (other than staying in the ACC and accepting their fate) are the Big XII and the B1G.

 

And I think we all know which one of those two choices happens to provide the better paycheck, better television exposure, and long-term stability.

 

And yes, FSU really must make a move--considering their fiscal peers aren't just Florida and 'Bama, but now the entirety of the SEC, they're looking to not just be outspent, but lapped by the likes of Vandy and Ole Miss in the years to come. Unless they can fight fire with fire, FSU will have problems in the long run.

Yeah, I understand all that. I was just under the impression that the Big Ten heads werent too interested. Mostly because of the AAU situation. Which I understand to an extent but imo that shouldnt be a deal breaker.

was reading the thread on shaggybevo and they had some interesting things to say about the new acc buy out clause. apparently according to acc bylaws the new $50mil buyout cant go into effect until July 1.

just regurgitating what I read.
