Re: Sleeper Teams?
Man, it's been a while. :shock: Yes it has. I might have taken a longer hiatus than most on here. Now that the Olympics have ended I realize that the season is just around the corner, even a couple games this weekend. I like the Washington call and think they could be really good this season. They ...

Re: West Coast Football
I too think the PAC 12 will have a very strong year this fall. The North division should be very competitive. Washington had a lot of youth and I believe should be the favorites. Stanford will be a threat with a healthy McCaffery but they lose a lot around him, including the O-line. Oregon will also...

Re: Griffey to Hall of Fame
Junior was one of my favorite players growing up. I never got the chance to see him play live, he was already in Cincy when I was stationed near Seattle. I was disappointed that Jim Edmonds did not get enough to stay on the ballot for a second year. Back to Griffey, his swing was just so pure and he...

Re: Army - Navy
What a fun weekend. The march on, prisoner exchange, fly overs are all very cool things to see. The parachute teams were fantastic. So much that makes this game is done outside the 60 minutes of football. Read that this was the highest rated Army/navy game in the last 17 years. As for the game, it w...

Re: The Skew & Politics of the Playoff Poll
I don't think anyone was surprised Michigan State jumped Oklahoma. They were not going to waste the Oklahoma/Alabama storyline on a semifinal game. The committee is praying they don't have to see Clemson/Michigan State. They didn't want it for a semifinal they certainly don't want it as a national t...

Re: OKAY... HOW WOULD YOU FIX IT?
20 teams is less than what the FCS, D2 or D3 uses. The real reason it wouldn't work at the FBS level is the bloated whore that is conference size and the obsession of a one game crapshoot they call a conference title game. I'm sure Donovan is right and they will continue to move towards ungodly size...

Re: OKAY... HOW WOULD YOU FIX IT?
I personally like a full playoff system. 20 teams, 10 conf champs, 10 at large bids. Top 4 teams must be conf champs, receive a 1st round bye. Have the semifinals/championships at the major bowl sites just like they currently rotate. Just like basketball, each conf needs an auto bid. Independents ar...

Re: LOOKING AHEAD... NEXT WEEK
As for who should get a Bowl Berth, I do not condone Bowl Appearances by teams who do not at least finish .500 in conference.If you are not at least 4-4 in your own conference, why do you deserve to get a post season..?. I've really been in favor of this for a several years. You have teams that kno...

Re: Hey, Highfly; What do You Think About ...
Some people want to serve but just don't have what it takes for the Army, so they go easy...I mean Air Force. :P Army and Air Force rivalry is not and will never be like Army/Navy. Not because of lack of history but because of the intertwined history, Air Force was a part of Army like the Marines ar...

Re: LOOKING AHEAD... NEXT WEEK
I will start be saying there are far too many bowls. The fact that there are over 80 slots and only 128 schools just screams watered down. Bowls are like the participation awards little kids get these days for being in park district leagues. However, if you have to come up with a basis for separatin...

Re: Memphis
Caught this game at a bar in Col. Springs after the Army/Air Force game. Wow, first let me say I see no chance for Army in Philly this year. Second, I thought Navy was good but I did not think they could go dominate Memphis like that in Memphis. They stifled a really good offense. I mean the time cr...
