Recruit Question
When a high school player is "committed", what does that mean? I'm guessing the context of "committed" here is a bit different than the same for a psychological evaluation... Actually, I'm curious if any contractual obligations arise (e.g., for the student or for other schools tr...

Judging from his posts, he's like an eloquent diplomat, brilliant educator, and nerd all rolled up into one. Like I said: impressive. Feel free to start flaming me if it will draw him out!

Re: Northern Illinois and Fresno State
If you are going to invite people to the party, then why don't they get an equal chance at the drawing? Orwell was not writing about society, he was a visionary who saw the BCS and it successor, the committee. "All animals are created equal but some are more equal than others." That might...

Re: Sardonic Look at Week Ten
I don't think Ohio State or Baylor are there yet. I'm hoping the Buckeyes get there. There is a talent on defense, but it has to gel to get past at complete team. Out of curiosity, what was your thought just before the 2010 Rose Bowl? Personally, I thought Oregon would beat Ohio St. pretty easily, ...

Ah, you were speaking in generalities, but I got lost since I took it literally. Easy fix, so easy I predict I won't get lost next week during your weekly wrap, but no guarantee, of course

Re: Sardonic Look at Week Ten
9. Mississippi State v What’s his name: Having the toughest SOS in the country doesn’t always work out so well. Getting beat by SC never works out well. Out of curiosity, which ranking system is being referenced here? CCR has Mississippi State as the 19th toughest schedule. Cal is ranked #1 in SoS....

Re: Sardonic Look at Week Ten
20 yards were lost on a high snap that went over Gardner's head, but -48 yards rushing is -48 yards rushing :lol: . Definitely one of the ugliest losses in Michigan history and that includes the RichRod era. I don't think this is an overstatement. No matter what, that is one of the most dominate de...

Re: Potential Upset
It looks like my buddy wasn't right, but he can take solace in the fact that he beat the spread, as Cal did give Arizona a scare. Also looks like RazorHawk's forecasts were very on target (except Mich), as most of the B1G games held surprises for the favored team. Iowa looked great the first half, b...

Re: Ga/FL
This was a great game, and a pleasant surprise. Despite all the high profile injuries, both teams, especially Georgia, executed well on both sides of the ball, and looked like teams that can play with anyone in the country. Georgia did have a few costly mental mistakes that allowed Florida back into...

Question for Spence (et al.)
I've noticed the B1G has a bunch of these trophy icon games, like the little brown jug, and paul bunyon, axes, bulls, etc. One thing I've noticed though is I haven't seen any of those associated with Ohio State. I think they are cool, like mini-rivalry tokens/championships. Does OSU have any of thos...

Re: Is the SEC that good?
I view things the same way, although most others certainly do not. Even with Saban, the reality of the SEC is not in accord with the general perception. The conference has one of the best teams in the country, probably the best, and several decent teams that really cannot challenge Bama or probably ...
