Wouldn't whatever it did for the program would be evaporated a week later if we lost to an unranked team?

Me too. I remember the '80s and '90s with Syracuse having Rony Seikaly and Sherman Douglass and Billy Owens - all names I still remember off the top of my head. Then came UNLV with Johnson, Augman, etc and then the fab 5, etc. Laetner beating Kentucky. Man, good times. Even watching us in...

The first one tastes pretty good, but I wouldn't bring a 12 pack to a college party type of thing. It's pretty sugary so I wouldn't drink a lot of them.

Yeah, to have a 2-4 conference record and be ranked ahead of 3 of the 4 conference teams you lost to doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Might be rough on a family, but spending most of your adult working life on beautiful college campuses across the country can't be the worst career choice.

Yeah, I'll admit that I was "done" with the program after Iowa, but it's fair to say this is a different program. If I had known Fleck would change up and start using a modern passing offense and not be extremely conservative with every possession, I wouldn't have been so upset after Iowa...

That would be awesome to see them miss out on a bowl (AGAIN!) after starting 5-1 and thinking Rhule has righted the ship.

I understand where the snark is coming from, but they are determining it by said teams' body of work over 3 months. In the past it was rather easy to tell who the top few dogs were. Now that you need 12 of them, it'll be tougher to get the rest right each year.

Yeah, it's not crazy at all to rank Ohio State #4 while not ranking WI, even though WI has a better conference winning percentage at this point (with it from beating the cupcakes you listed). This is comparing apples to oranges.

Did you ever get any answers?

Thanks. Was hoping to hear Nathan Roy or Mason Carrier.

I dunno, for some reason he always got the temp bans and would be back in like a week or month, whereas almost everyone else gets banned permanently on their first ban. Plus if you look at an old post by him, it doesn't say "banned" underneath his logo like it normally would.

Plus if you saw their RB getting drilled in the backfield, you'd realize they run block worse than we do. Kinda funny to see the complaining in the husker board. They think Raiola will hit the portal after the season.

I think he's an Iowa fan actually. There's someone by the name of Harrymannback that posts on the Nebraska board and trolls as a hawkeye. Too close of a resemblance in names if you ask me. On another note, did something happen to @MplsGopher ? It's been a while since I've seen any posts from...

When I started watching college football, every play was reviewed. After the play, as the players would be getting ready for the next play, the replay booth would watch and if necessary, buzz down to the officials to tell them to stop while the booth took a closer look. Somehow in the race to...

Made me think of Robert Smith of the vikes who made a comment about how some gangsters are revered and wear suits and stuff (mob) while others who aren't as revered where baggy clothes, backwards hats, etc. PS. As a huge fan of The Wire, I'm not sure I'd call Omar a gangster - although I'll...

Are you seriously calling yourself an "average fan"? I don't think there are many that think like you.

I think the crux is that we have different definitions of "fun". I had a TON of fun watching college football with a "2 team" playoff even though I was fairly certain we'd never be in it. Also, expanding the playoffs doesn't really give more schools a chance to win it all. It just gives more...

Well, since you said it, can you name those years? Maybe 2007? Otherwise, I think for most of this century it's been pretty obvious who was at the top after Thanksgiving weekend. I will say though that for many of those years, there would be people in October blabbing about how there are so...

I'm fine with it too. Kinda like when I don't put money in the parking meters in Minneapolis. Am I breaking the rules? I don't think so - the rule is that I either put money in the machine or I get a ticket for not doing so. It's not my fault they didn't come by and give me the ticket, right?
