I also morally disagree with missing sarcasm

I know that he rocked the house on Family Feud awhile ago... http://www.dentonisd.org/51271830114354/li...fast_money2.jpg

If every team has 5'10 overachieving linebacker, perhaps you are misusing the term overachieve? To say the kid has reached his ceiling is ludicrous - he is about to see a faster game against better competition and learn from them. The one thing I posted and saw from watching the Southlake/Allen game in person was how well the linebackers and players played against cut backs, options, and other gap control and discipline-bending plays. Why bash a kid who coems in with fundamentals and a desire to be here. Quit digging for reasons to bitch - unless you enjoy stirring things up, which I firmly disagree with....morally...

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH - stop making sense. Todd Dodge built me a car out of a hat once. Of course he can land 4 star recruits and revive a program in 1 month.

Why is everyone attacking a guy for making this point? Yeah he was a jerk about how he said it and probably shouldn't dimiss a recruit without having ever seen him play, but more size and speed is not a bad thing.

I thought the hang up was getting in the door and through Nate Dogg....

Why not just get comatose basketball asswhip Scrappy on the case? That way everyone at your wedding can get interested, but not too excited - like a good basketball game.

I think last night's game should answer that question. They already are going to cannabalize each other as is - I see why they wouldn't schedule anything else when you are going to play probably 2-3 top ten teams and 4-5 top 25 teams in conference. Michigan and Ohio St. were exposed in their bowl game - Florida wasn't. Ohio St. played their conference and a Texas team that beat only one good team all year - an OU team that, like all the big 12 schools, couldn't beat an OOC opponent in the top 25.

Anyone else seen the Manboobs McGhee to the Fins next season rumor?

Yeah, whatever happened to that guy? I've seen him at the games but he hasn't been around here for a bit...

BSU was #18 and Georgia was #13. The dogs were favored by 7 at home. Not all that different from OU this year. Georgia finished 10-3 and ranked #10. Many more mid-major victories are needed before anything is proved. OU carried the banner for a crappy, crappy, craptacular Big 12 this season. (and yes, they would all still have waxed us, Playmaker - even the Aggies.)

I bet GMG comments could really get the Sooners fired up and ready to play us....SHHHHHH!

Thanks for the correction

Need anymore from me?

They played Georgia a few years ago - got all hyped for their chance to make a statement between the hedges and then I think crapped the bed in that game and gave up 55 points.

Thought about this proposal for awhile and shared it with a few friends (this response I am posting is from a non-UNT fan - the dig at getting lucky is just to piss me off.) He makes a few good points though: At first glance, this seems like a decent plan until you realize that it fails to take into account the two most important factors in college football - money and politics. A few thoughts: I suppose the first-round bye is seen as a good option because the NFL uses it, but it basically represents "lost" revenue. I think I'm willing to believe that a convincing argument could be made for it, but I don't know. There's a fairly good chance that "mid-major" conferences would never collect any revenue. Who pays for all of the travel? I know that doesn't seem like it should be a huge deal, but could UNT really afford the extra road trips if they happened to get lucky one year? I guess this could be resolved by splitting the gate, but I'm not sure. I would need more economic data to assess this issue. Are all of the teams seeded by BCS ranking, or do the conference champs get preference? There are potential problems with each. More so than with other sports, the unpredictable travel plans may be difficult to prepare for - both for the teams and for the fans. I wonder why this isn't brought up more with playoff proposals. Maybe this could be resolved with some type of regional seeding - like in basketball. There is at least one thing that I think needs to occur to help facilitate a playoff system - maybe two. The first one - and possibly the easier - is to involve the NCAA in scheduling. This would help to make sure that the BCS rankings are more meaningful. Notre Dame, for instance, could easily structure a schedule that would ensure they made the tournament every year. The second step would be harder to convince people of - radical restructuring of conference. The restructuring could take into account regional and historical factors. Each of the "major" conferences could have a team knocked out of the tournament by a team that didn't even finish in the the Top 25. I amused by the thought that the "rest" of the bowls would still serve a purpose - what would that purpose be? I envision two options: 80 teams play postseason games - 24 in the tournament, and 56 in other bowl games - which amounts to 67% of the teams. This year, that would have required that just about every team with more than 4 wins would have made the postseason. Teams eliminated in the tournament are eligible for the "other" bowls. I can't even list all the reasons that this is absurd. Regardless of which option is employed - I see the demise of every bowl not involved in the tournament. People complain about the over saturation of bowls right now - this would be that times 10. Nobody would watch...bowls would lose television...bowls would collapse. Consider this: the NFL playoffs start this weekend. Are you interested in watching the Cardinals and the Redskins play next Wednesday night? I am also amused that this format would utilize seven games for four sites, meaning that each year one of the bowls sites would get only one game. I'm not sure they would agree to that. A possible solution would be to elevate some other bowls to this level. Of course, that would result in reduced revenue for the existing BCS bowls. I don't doubt there's a feasible solution, but it's not quite as simple as this proposal would suggest. What about Notre Dame? Do you force them to join a conference? Do they get any kind of automatic berth? Part of me says no, that if you remain an independent you do so at your own risk. On the other hand, a bad Notre Dame team is probably a better draw than a good Troy team. I don't think a College Football tournament needs to have more than 16 teams. Make it meaningful to win your conference. I kind of like the idea of 5 "wild card" teams. Another possibility would be realigning into 16 conferences of 8 teams. The problem here is that nonconference games would either have to be counted for conference standings or they would really only matter for seeding purposes. Maybe my favorite would be twelve essentially equal-sized conferences with 4 "wild card" teams.

Nick Saban is well on his way to be being the new Fran..... what a douche.

You make collages and hot chick photos for a living? Me, I whored myself out to a thousand fat chicks for $50 a piece...

Perfect, except you forgot Baylor

I really don't specialize in boxes, but I was glad I could give you something you liked. I got a Hello Kitty Backpack and a Robbie Vanderslice jersey from the glory days of yesteryear...

Steve & Barry's: Be the first on your block to own what the guy mowing your neighbor's lawn is already wearing! Nice to see our logo out there though...

I'm no expert - but maybe your list shouldn't be composed of mostly bowl teams... I see your point though.

I'm glad I am almost on your radar (I posted the ESPN article) - thanks for re-explaining some of this stuff because I've had some tired head on the topic and just gave up...
