One thing I know about Marshall....At least when they were in the MAC they tried to schedule the toughest schedule they could most seasons. Sometimes the teams they play turn out not be as strong as was thought at the time of scheduling and more often than that BCS schools refuse to play them, espe...

How exactly does everyone define the term "mid-major"? In my experience this is usually a basketball term. Is the tag being used to refer to those conferences and teams that are neither at the top nor the bottom of Division 1-A as the name implies? Or are we throwing all non-BCS conferences and the...

It is the same crap that the media was doing with Notre Dame last year. The media loves offense. Ohio State probably won't win the B-10 this year, well enough the BCS. The LBs will be pretty good this year also, but the DBs are the big question. There is only one guy with experience. Lots of talent,...

I love my country and I don't mind paying taxes, but I sure take issue with how some of those tax dollars are spent. That is the worst thing about taxes. No one really likes how at least some of it is spent. The problem with fixing that is we all would like it spent on different things. I actually ...

The Mountaineers, their program, and their fans, the ones I know, don't want a share of anything. We want to win it all.

So true. Winning doesn't suck.

Keep dreaming.

Now as far as a 'non-BCS' team not being competitive-enough again I have to refer to Texas Christian. I think in general they are very competitive. They maybe don't have the credentials as a team from a 'major' conference does, but in general they are competitive, year-after-year, and I think their...

I cry whenever I have to look at my tax returns, personally.

I don't cry, I just grit my teeth and write the check. I do feel like crying, though, everytime I do it.

Yeah, that night, I spent on my brothers concrete balcony, doing a puke/cry thing, I think vomit was coming out of my eyes, and tears out of my mouth. Friends don't let friends sleep on the concrete. Everyone does things in their youth that they regret. Just be happy that you lived to tell the stor...

Spence, I think, just can't bring himself to admit that OSU probably couldn't beat TCU if they played the game in Ohio, and allowed OSU a 14 point advantage, and let them have the ball to open the game. (j/k). The most likely explanation is that we are all suffering from the disease of collegians-w...

Welcome aboard. Nice first post.

Term limits??? That would definately get rid of a certain senator that likes to wash his car in the lake. Term limits is an easy answer, but I don't really think they are a good thing. They might get rid of a bad senator or congressman, but they also force the good ones out. People just need to get...

IMO, most of those schools that feel left out, suffer from a serious disadvantage in recruiting and do NOT match up with schools that have a big name. Recruiting is the difference. No mid-major champion to date has ever been good enough to beat a top ten team in a best of three series. If there is ...

Yeah you really have to compare the dept with the GDP, but they aren't getting a very good return on the $$.

Spence, the beauty of my proposal is in the details. What it does, ideally, is allow ANY team regardless of where they play, an opportunity to play in a BCS game. By that, I dont' necessarily mean they are 'assured' a spot. Quite contrarily, I propose that they necessarily 'earn' a place through co...
