Why the hell are college games going to be on the NFL Network?

Didn't catch that. Good find. Speaking of, isn't "forward progress" a redundancy? Isn't all progress inherently of a forward nature? Don't tell a Republican that.

See, My Name Is Earl fuckin' rules. Why haven't more people taken to that?

LSU?

Georgia Tech's the top team in the ACC before the conference has even been determined. Okay then. I think you need a fucking brain transplant, you goddamn illiterate homer. I shouldn't have to say USC is a better team than Michigan because they are. How the fuck would it help any kind of argument to just throw out a "USC's better!" sentence? If they weren't, Michigan would have WON. Stop arguing on behalf of a loser and embarassing other Michigan fans here who can produce actual reasoned arguments. You know how USC's loss was different from Michigan's? I'll tell you AGAIN: USC was a failed two point conversion AS TIME EXPIRED from sending their game with Oregon State into overtime. Michigan was finished with two minutes left to play. That's the difference. Also, despite THREE takeaways, Michigan was still outgained by 106 yards, converted less than half of their third down opportunities, and had a disadvantage (three minutes, not so much of a big deal) in the time of possession. A GREAT team, the kind that it will take to beat Ohio State this year, a CHAMPIONSHIP caliber team, which is what the title game is about, would be able to actually make something happen out of those turnovers. Also, only four of their scoring drives started in their own territory. The other two started on Ohio State's 25 and 9 yard lines. They lost, they're not going to the title game, get over it and stop trying to ruin what was a civil year of college talk here without Dama around. He's referenced because he was doing the same shit you are now except with Oklahoma instead.

Why is this weird looking bespectacled guy occupying so many sigs/avatars? I mean, I know the origin, but every time I've seen TSM do this with any character from pop culture I would discover that it sucked. What makes this different? Sell me on this idea, O great and powerful internets.

I'll miss him.

Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, you're cool, fuck you.

ok but Michigan lost by 3 to the number 1 team...according to your astute logic...USC had their chance against Oregon State who I doubt is even a top 60 team and lost...and according to your intelligent fact checking...USC played catch up all game to Oregon State and was down a bigger margin than Michigan ever was to OSU...determining the number 2 team this year...you have to weigh...should you vote for the team you WANT to see in the title game...or the team that DESERVES to be in the title game?...if there are more people like you out there (please God no) then I guess we are going to see the 'sexy' matchup and the possibility of a split national title ensues particularly if Notre Dame is in the title game....enjoy Christ, you ARE the Michigan Dama. Did Michigan have a chance to win at the very end of the game and fail on a two point conversion? NO. They got their decks checked in the second quarter and were fortunate enough to get a couple of takeaways to keep it close. At no point in the game did they appear to be a better team, and never lead after the first quarter. Michigan would deserve to be in the title game if they won on Saturday. They didn't. Enjoy the Rose Bowl against West Virginia and try not to be embarassed like Georgia was when they underestimated them last year. Besides, it's become rather obvious that Lloyd Carr can't beat Jim Tressel, so why try again? Just pull your Boomer Sooner, I mean, Big Blue fingers out of your ears and understand that assertions that a team that just lost their final game does not imply that they don't even deserve a cable hookup to watch other teams play in bowls. It means they can't play for the title. It's football, and if they were better, they would have won, period. Yeah, Northwestern had a chance to beat Michigan because they were playing them. In your deluded little (not big) blue world, that's interpreted as some prediction of Wildcat victory. And HOW long ago was it when I said Clemson could end up in the title game? Like, around the time they waxed Georgia Tech and hadn't done their usual Bowden swan dive? Notre Dame is NOT the best team USC will play all year. That would be Ohio State on January 8th. Regular season-wise, USC's most impressive win would be against Cal in my mind, possibly Nebraska if they can win the Big XII. "OH YA CAL WHO LOST TO ARIZONA THEY SUCK BALLZ" Yeah, the same Arizona that's won four straight. Close ball game my ass, Notre Dame's best chance at beating USC was a year ago. Michigan destroyed them for a reason, because beating up on military academies, a team whose coach was axed before the end of the season (oh wait, two), a Pac-10 jobber that was lucky to win a game this season, and a couple of middling Big Ten teams makes a GREAT resume for a "BCS caliber" team. You said it yourself, Michigan beat their asses, at home, and you think that helps their image against USC on the road? And who would REALLY give a flying fuck about a rematch beyond national title interest? Not only is there no competitive reason for one, but there's no want for one. Does anyone else remember the period a year ago where Miami and Florida State played like, three times in one calendar year? It got worse each time and produced uglier and uglier games. I'd wager it did a great deal to fuck with their respective images since you saw one or the other lose three times within a short period.

You dumbshit, that's exactly what I said already. Prime Time Andrew Doyle's on my list now.

As someone who left the house when it was 24-7 Denver, what's this "That's the end of the game" stuff?

I liked Bored's blog predictions. I'm all over Florida/Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl. Let those hyped up pretty boys come down and get f'd in the a in N'Awlins. I don't dislike Notre Dame that much, I just like when media darlings get their teeth bashed in.

A messageboard could use this sort of thing. This thread can serve as a place where you can say how you feel about other posters or how things are here as a way of streamlining communication across the forum. That, and it'll be fun. Try not to beef in this thread (but this folder's made for it and just one convenient click away!), simply say who you don't like. Heck, say why too if you want.

And yet you'll still watch it. Like you always do. Nope. Professional sports coverage is usually insufferable anyway. There's a reason I favor the college game.

Go back and read the responses to the game in this thread. Ohio State looked poised to blow Michigan out of the stadium and the Wolverines were playing catch-up all game long. Outside of the opening drive where Ohio State's offense had yet to take the field, there was nothing to indicate that Michigan was better. They've already played, Michigan lost. Go to the Rose Bowl and be happy with a $4 million payout or however much it is the teams get for making it there. Using the Florida/Florida State example isn't valid since there was no dedicated system to determine a national champion at the time, only polls. Speaking of the polls, both that are factored into the BCS have USC as #2, and the computer average is what pushes Michigan up into that slot. One year people bitch about the computers, the next they embrace them. I understand that there are fans and all, but make up your damn minds.

Is there no stock anymore in people living within their means? Bankruptcy declarations being as high as they are these days and people defaulting on their debts is also an extremely negative sign for long-term economic health. I won't even get into kids who are raised seeing their parents use nothing but plastic.

So.... who's watching this and can provide some quick n' dirty results? Man! You must get all the chicks!

There are a lot of people talking about it. Look at the groups that have been holding signs, all yelling about Iraq! Kids just can't get enough of that Mideast flavor.

Loans aren't credit cards.

48-14 USC next week. Book it. Their defense is too good this year to have another "whoever has the ball last wins" game like last season.

The Colts/Cowboys outcome was lose-lose no matter who won as far as the rest of the country was concerned. Couldn't a team that wasn't Dallas have beaten Indianapolis instead? Sports media is going to be unwatchable all week, or until Dallas reminds everyone that they aren't very good.

I shouldn't have to argue why it's a bad idea to give people a card that lets them spend money that doesn't exist.

My guess, not that this justifies it or anything, is that LSU scored 13 4th quarter points to come back from a 20-7 deficit. They shouldn't have been in that position at home to a 27-point underdog, but maybe that was the rationale.

Terrible. Goddamn computers. Good thing USC's going to make an example out of Notre Dame and give us a championship game that's worth watching. Say all the "you wouldn't watch Michigan/Ohio State FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP?!" crap you want, the answer is no. We saw it yesterday.
