If we get a bunch who take it seriously more can be better, but also it is an experiment in how well we can actually do compared to what really happens in the football polls. How much are we going to be influenced by the same people that we criticize? Those kinds of things. I hunch that if we try an...

Oh they are really serious about that seat belt thing. The Ohio State Highway patrol has something like the third fewest people. based on population, in the nation. The write the third highest amount of tickets, based on population, in the nation. They call it being productive, I call it something e...

I don't mind a little light back and forth, but lets not start the English lessons or we are all in trouble.

Neverthless, I think the ACC wanted whoever would make them 'better' while also hurting the Big East. I doubt it was an 'amicable' separation.

Of course it wasn't amicable, the B-East went to court to try and stop it. The ACC was looking out for #1, but all the conferences do that.

The people who do the vote, their votes will be transparent. The people in the groups probably won't be, unless they want to make it public. The groups are mostly for debate. I could put Texas #1 and Irish88 could make the point to me that I am biased against Notre Dame and I am not giving them thei...

That makes sense to me.

I don't know. I have neve heard of a team declining a bowl invitation to go somewhere else. I know of teams that declined and didn't go at all. Most conferences have criteria in place with certains bowls that determine where this or that team goes and it is based on $$$. Unless the B-East discipline...

From Eric,

Q: What university had the nickname, "Teachers" as one point in time?

I always had a Bell helmet. Ohio doesn't have helmet laws, but let them catch you without a seat belt and you get the chair.

The Answer is, In a bizarre year (1994), Texas A&M was not eligible for the Southwest championship. After running through the conference, with only a tie against SMU (the ponies only non-confernece loss), there were 5 teams ties for second at 4-3. Since A&M was not eligible, but beat all 5 t...

I only put the helmet on at night (because of the bugs). I never had an accident, but if I had, I wouldn't be here now.

Boston College and VT were tied in the standings but VT had the head to head win...the BE held a conference call, without the AD's of BC or VT present, and assigned the Motor City Bowl ($750,000 and a MAC opponent) to BC and the San Francisco Bowl ($800,000) to VT. It's always been my understanding...

The only reason Ohio State schedules the in state schools is to help funnel cash to their programs. They all get their money out of the same pot. By helping the others they help themselves. Ohio State schedules one in state program a year. It will never help Ohio State as much as it helps the other ...

Amen.

True, Spence and I get the point about the finances of the whole thing. I'm trust trying to look at it from the Toledo perspective...how much more advantagous is it for Toledo to play OSU in Cleveland than it is in Columbus? Cleveland is even enemy territory for Toledo in the MAC. I guess it seems ...
