Hoke is a heck of a coach, he made some good hires for his staff and Michigan will be tough for the foreseeable future. I love when a new coach comes in and plays the hand he was dealt and wins big. Here at Nebraska we had the opposite when Callahan came in and it will take another decade for our program to recover. I see Michigan winning the division this year even if they struggle a little, 8-4 is conservative if the backfield can stay healthy.
Losing out in playing for a NC and then in turn bragging about another member of your conference going to it is equivalent of boasting about the hot chick your buddy got while you were at home playing dungeons and dragons.... In either scenario, they were balling and you were a loser. Rooting for your conference brethren as that other team is your own is so frickin
Kinda off topic. But, if Iowa could stay away from injuries and players being arrested we might be good. I think Ferentz is a good coach.
Nothing CFB related is off topic in our CFB discussion thread.... You guys still have Vandenberg (sp?) this year?
You were the only one to claim that you missing the episode... That means Vito and BJ both intently watched. No fear Germ, you can catch todays episode at 5pm EST and the rerun again at 10pm EST.
Yeah we do. I think in '09 we would have went to the National Championship, if Stanzi wouldn't have got injured. Because we lost the Big 10 championship in overtime to Ohio State with a unexperience backup. We also would have beat Northwestern.
I remember that game very well... Field goal in OT decided it for OSU. I believe both team were in the top 10 as well for that game.
Yeah, then Iowa went to the Orange bowl. They were ranked #10 for that. We have decent teams but, our good players always end up playing prison league instead. Lol. We need more discipline(spelling?) I guess.
Sorry dude, I did not see it either. Outside of the actual games, I'm not much of a tv guy. I prefer to waste my time on the interwebs. Only because I don't have a tv at work.
Being realistic that your team isn't NC caliber and that the top teams in your conference, who btw have won the last 7 NCs, is ?
I don't get ESPNU so I can't watch it. How terrible. I'll likely have to drug myself tonight so I can sleep.
Have no fear for you vito and germ, the episodes are all being uploaded to youtube. Lucky sons of ......s!
Stadium venues ranked by yahoo. Some if it seems a little off, except for #1.... http://sports.yahoo.com/news/college-footballs-top-25-toughest-places-play-204600964--ncaaf.html
Bryant Denny not in the top 5 is a joke....especially with Jordan-Hare listed at 4. I've been to both and it's not even close as to which is more intimidating. Jordan-Hare was relatively quiet. I feel like this guy just threw darts at a board to rank these stadiums, especially with Stoney Brook Seawolves home field being ranked. 1,2,3 can't really be argued for being in the top 5, i guess you could swap them around at any point and still be right. A night game at LSU would be number 1 for me, followed by the swamp.
I have a track record on here of not boasting about the SEC even though I reside in SEC country. When anyone gets as many rings as bama let me know...
