Come on you guys, avoid the problem, get out the old tapes and discs you have of your favorite games and watch them. Knowing the outcome often makes them that much more enjoyable. LOL. I am already reviewing this season that way. And, when I really get bored there is basketball. Swamp Daddy

I never have cared for Sports Illustrated, not in decades. Now they are not even very sports oriented anymore. Their pro coverage is all fluff pieces and predictions which hardly ever pans out. Their college coverage is a total joke. And, as they, along with much media favor 'yellow' journalism over...

Hi all: One last comment on Bobby Petrino and then you will hear no more from me on that subject. If, or when, Petrino fails in the pros; or, for whater reason he is gone -- it won't affect him much. Probably another pro team will think he is the second coming. And, should he fail in the pros to whe...

Hi all: Most of the commentators don't care about credibility. Their own polls tell them people (in general) can't recall what happened 10 minutes ago much less last year. They count on you not recalling what they said last game or last year; and so, more baloney, more silly predictions in the next ...

Hi again: Well Spence, I think you missed the real point of my post. Perhaps I was too windy. I dont' care that he left for more money. Or a better job in his mind. Why did he not say, it's always been my dream to coach in the NFL (which he already has) as a head coach, to go for a superbowl? He cou...

Well, frankly, it is TWO halves to a game. You have to have both. So, what "ifs" are rampant when you take one half or the other. If only the first half counted UL would have been perfect in 2005 and 2006; but, when you count both halves without any what ifs; they had 3 losses. And, that's the way i...

Hi all: I will admit my focus has been very narrow of UL and now the Big East since we joined them. I have not kept up with all the resulting conference realignments started when the ACC raided the Big East to start with. Could someone with stats close at hand please post the "records" of the variou...

Hi all: I am sure many schools have had coaches use them as a stepping stone and left for money and bigger schools. I think Bouncing Bobby Petrino may find it hard to duplicate his success at Louisville in Atlanta. In college the coach runs things and motivates people. In the pros the players run th...

Yep, bowls are more about money than anything else. So is the 'extra game' league championship game. And, bowls will probably always pick a team that will bring a large contingent and that has a big audience back home and nationwide over the best competition everytime. And so much of this (who is th...

Hi all: Well, I am stuck with regular broadcast TV and did not see any Wake Forest before the bowl game. They played hard and did better than I thought. At times Bobby Petrino despite his reputation for being wide open, becomes as conservative as Lou Holtz was at Notre Dame. 3 up the middle and punt...

Hi all what are the conference standings now. Is the Big East at 4-0 ahead? Swamp Daddy

Hi: Miami is on a slide from the elite; maybe it will turn around, maybe they will stay down awhile. Notre Dame for the past 10 years has been living on it's past reputation. Yes, they only lost two games; but, in those two when they played quality teams they got waxed. The other games were against ...

Hi all: Congratulations to Rutgers. The game sure played out differently than I had envisioned. Never saw such a change from the first half to the second.

Interesting game from many aspects.

Hi all: The SEC (and other conferences) have talked themselves up so long that now everyone believes it as true. If talk won anything, we could decide the National Championships before the season and no one would have to play a game. Yes, at the top, I think the SEC is usually very powerful. But a s...

Hi: Well now, I did not claim the defense was a world beating outfit; just that they were better than last year. And in 3 games, Miami, Kansas State, and Middle Tennessee State it was the defense that did the job. And, if Rutgers does not drastically alter their offensive style I think the defense w...
