just waiting for WVU to be another big disappointment.
Ah, the Mountaineers. I'm rooting for them.
Original Big East team. Original Eastern Eight team with Rutgers. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2006/04/1.gif
They never disappoint when they play Rutgers!https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif
Seriously, they have been a top ten team several times over the years.
What are you crying about???https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif
they usually get hammered in bowl games...
It's all about the Cotton Bowl this year :thumbs:
Do they have a playoff yet?
No? Then I do not care. The BCS and the bowl system as a whole is a joke!
With the AP pulling out of it, we are a step closerQuote:

Anyway, I have a feeling that USC's soft schedule will be their undoing when they come up against the Okies.
So make it best of three. And the "healing" is part of the game, if you lose players, tough. It's all part of the game. Without a series it not an accurate display of teh "best" team of the season. Sorry, I am not buying into it.Quote:

Add to that 70+ guys on a team, Offense, defense and special teams...the longest a guy is actually playing is maybe 15 minutes, where some starters may only play 5 whole actual minutes in a game.
So, by comparison, the Basketball player plays harder, longer, and with more intensity, plays what, 70 games regular season, and something like 20 post season games...ooo, ouch, the poor widdle footie players, can only play 17 games and a couple play offs, and only one "super bowl".
GIVE ME A BREAK!

And you also forgot that in basketball the only hitting allowed by players is to the fans, in football you are getting hit by 300+ lb lineman all of the time. I hope you honestly do not buy into the argument that basketball is a more physically demanding game than football. I think ya are smarter than that.
Ok, you got me on the time, it’s been so long since I’ve watched the game I thought they were 15 minute quarters. But, you can't tell me that running a few yards more in a game makes those 2 or 3 wide receivers, and a few defenders play “harder” then they guys on an NBA lineup. Shaq runs more in one game with 30 minutes of play time then probably 90% of an entire football team will run in a NFL game. The receivers are conditioned to run those distances all the time, and should be able to play another game in two or three days. Hell, they practice usually 5 to 7 days a week, so they rarely get rest anyway. Instead of practice scrimmages, they could play game 2, 3, 4 and 5. Think of the money there is to be made, if just from that perspective alone!Quote:

I hated seeing the Hoo's get smacked on the Blue Turf yesterday. :( Though they are the hated "rival" of my beloved Hokies, but I actually only root against them when they are playing us.
The game tonight in Phoenix may be a good one. The hated Golden Domer's against the Beavers (rematch of the '00 Fiesta Bowl). ND may just be able to turn the tables on OSU.
Ya_Know your contention of football being in a multi-game playoff ain't going to happen. There are some sports that are tailor made for multi-game playoffs; Baseball, Hockey and Basketball to name 3, but Football ain't one of them for logistical reasons as much as anything. Plus the whole nature of football is different.
The beauty of baseball in the World Series is you can get beat 12-0 in game 2, but shake it off and take the series 4 games to 1 and everybody forgets the rout of game 2. In football yes the ultimate goal is to win the championship, as it is with any sport, but in the playoffs you gotta bring your A-game every Saturday or Sunday to win. There are no mulligans, no do overs, no we'll get back at 'em tomorrow. You got your chance mano a mano and if you get bested well cest la guerre. That's my biggest bitch with Division 1A College football. The powers that be refuse to recognize the playoff system and leave the crowning of the National Champion to the antiquated bowl system. If a National playoff is good enough for Div. 1AA, Div. 2, Div. 3 and the NAIA then by gosh it's good enough for Div. 1A. What's the only sport that the NCAA doesn't recognize as a National Champion? You guessed it...the NCAA Div.1A College Football Champion which is named by the Associated Press & the Coaches Poll. It's time to change the system.
Until then we live with the system we got, despite it's many major flaws. So if ya gotta live within the system now I say WAR darn Hokies!!! Beat the Tigers!!!https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif
Oh, I see, having a perfect season all year, then one bad game in the playoff's and you're not worthy of the championship...that makes a lot of sense... :rolleyes:
Wussy liberal just wants to let everyone be winners :flame:Quote:

Same as with Basketball or Baseball, but you have one game to prove you are that good. You show up for everygame, not take one off here or there.
The way it is, I really don't watch most bowl games as they don't mean anything at all.
No, you were argueing against the playoff system of one game only.Quote:

Really, are you such a puss that you think the one game playoffs rather then full series is so much unfair, that everyone should get all those chances?
How many things in life do you get so many attempts on?
Just yesterday, I had a limb stuck up in my tree from the past hurricanes; I finally decided to get it down. It took at least 15 tries with an end weighted rope to get it up there and around that thing so I could pull it down. It was funny, I was about to give up at about the eight try when my kids started cheering me on. When I finally pulled the limb down with a thump and brittle pieces flying everywhere, they cheered like I'd ran for 200 yards or something. It was a fine victory; despite the many attempts...I was a winner in their eyes.Quote:

NC State over Houston in the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship...see above Phi Slamma Jamma was the beast in '83, but got upended by the lightly regarded Wolfpack in the finals.
Miami over Nebraska in '84 for the MNC of NCAA Div. 1 football. Little known Miami held off the mighty Cornhuskers in the Orange Bowl for the MNC. Putting Miami on the map where they've been now for 24 years.
Clemson over Nebraska in '81. Same as above, but the Tigers have not stayed in the spotlight like Miami has.
Alabama over Miami in '93. Alabama wasn't given a shot against Miami in the Sugar Bowl. Miami came in with swagger and cockiness and got their jocks handed to them by the Crimson Tide. The 'Canes forgot you had to play the game.
Virginia Tech over Texas in the '95 Sugar Bowl. Pundits said the Hokies didn't belong there. That Texas would mash VT. Guess what? The Hokies put a major whoopin' on the 'Horns.
And the list goes on and on.
Would you feel more comfortable if the '80 Russian Hockey team did beat the US in a 7 game series 4-1? Would you cheapen the Mircle on the Ice? What are you somekind of far left leaning, radical communist, pinko, alternative history wacko? https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif

Just the strength of the Big 12 south, also Tech being probably the best offense behind what is the amazing Utah offense.
Totally why OU will win the National Championship, they just played better teams and proved themselves week after week.
So, how's the outlook for the Aggies?
One game I am looking forward to is the Boise State/Louisville matchup tonight. The over/under may be over a hundred points.
