Nitt Picks Is Asking "What Streak?"

 At least it's not a pizza bowl.  The Big Ten is officially in Texas to stay.  It's the Dallas Football Classic in the recently rejected Cotton Bowl (Stadium):

Following is the four-year schedule (selection placement shown for the Big Ten and Big 12 excludes BCS selections):

January 1, 2011 - Big 12 (#7) vs. Big Ten (#6)
January 1, 2012 - Conference USA vs. Big Ten (#6)
January 1, 2013 - Big 12 (#7) vs. Big Ten (#6)
January 1, 2014 - Conference USA vs. Big Ten (#6)

(Should an "at-large" selection be required, Conference USA will provide a back-up team in years 2011 and 2013, and the Big 12 will provide a back-up team in years 2012 and 2014.)

Why aren't bowls doing more of this? Alternating with CUSA isn't much of a draw, but it would be a lot more fun to see the Capital One Bowl rotate the #2's around, and we might finally get to see a regularly scheduled decent matchup in a bowl game with someone other than the SEC or Southern Cal.

The (fake) streak is on the line.  11W wrote an entire post about Penn State without making a joke about soiled pants.  Congrats guys (never mind, I missed the photo caption) (better luck next year):

Star-divide

If the Buckeyes want any shot of making the Rose Bowl and winning a fifth straight Big Ten title...[LOLZ -ed]

If you are not a fan of Tressel punting on 4th and 1 from the opponent 37 yard line, you will not be happy in the coming weeks. If JT was conservative with his play calling when Aaron Pettrey was healthy, imagine what it will be like this week with either an inexperienced Barclay or Buchanan at the helm.

You've seen it in the stats: this game is likely to mirror the offense hating ways of the 2008 contest.  A year ago, scoring went like this: a QB sneak for a touchdown and field goals of 31, 41, 26 and 25 yards.  That's it.  Not the kind of game you want to break a kicker in on.  Especially if he was one for three in last weeks exhibition.

Stop it. I feel like I've been hard on Rittenberg lately, I think he does a good job, but give it a rest already:

When scanning the BCS standings, it's pretty easy to formulate a one-sentence summary for each team to this point in the season.

Examples: [...]

Then you get to No. 11 Penn State. What do we really know about this team?

What do we know about a team with this schedule: LA-Monroe, Wyoming, Texas Tech, UTEP, Colorado, Oklahoma, Missouri, Oklahoma State?

Or this one: Rutgers, SE Missouri St., Oregon State, Fresno State, Miami Ohio, South Florida, Louisville, Syracuse?

The schedules are so watered down anymore, only teams with preconceived "identities" can really "prove" anything. See: Texas, Florida and Alabama as the only three teams anyone cares about even though they aren't the only undefeateds.

Even if Penn State wins this weekend, which is no guarantee, what will we know then? Will a home win over a (then) three-loss Ohio State team change the rhetoric? Probably not.

There is still some question.  He might not be around to see it, he admits as much, but Wanny had a little chat with Joe Paterno about renewing the rivalry and told a reporter his thoughts on the reality of the situation:

Do you want to play Penn State every year?

"We [Pitt, obviously] need to be playing Penn State. I was on the job about a month and I talked to Coach Paterno about it. It probably won't happen until he retires and I understand that. It's his prerogative. But it'll happen. Maybe I won't even be here, either [when it happens]. We should play each other. It's a great, great national [emphasis HIS. -ed] in-state rivalry. We should be playing each other. There is no question about that. There probably isn't anyone who would disagree with that."

In scores of other games.  Some in-house stuff, DA Madeira gets Pwned!...In Defense of Statistics is back...and maybe this is a little much.

The Dallas Football Classic

Let me get this straight. The Big Ten 8th team in the Big Ten (currently Northwestern or Purdue) depending on who wins the PSU/OSU game against presumably the Confrence USA number 2, currently East Carolina.

So totally possible matchup is Northwestern and East Carolina on New Years Day in stadium holds 90,000 people. Are you effing kidding me? This game lasts a year, tops.

And don't these normally

have required ticket purchases? So on top of travel, you have to sell like 15,000 seats.

People piled on the NYC Bowl, how no one would want to go, but at least that’s near some Big Ten alums. Considering this was the alternative, I’m pissed they didn’t make that happen.

Conference USA

The way that C-USA does thier bowl bids, all the elgible teams go into a pot and the bowls choose based on geographic considerations (i.e. who’s closest). What that means is that the bowl rep from C-USA for the Dallas game would almost certainly be from the West Division — Houston, Rice, SMU (ideally, for the bowl), UTEP, Tulsa, tulane — or maybe Southern Miss. It ain’t going to be East Carolina or Marshall.

If the bowl can pair a Texas team or Tulsa with a Big Ten team, it might not be horrible attendance wise. It’ll never be great, though, unless some well supported Big Ten team drops down (unlikely given that such a team would be snapped up by earlier bowls even with a poor record).

by Laaaaazzz on Nov 5, 2009 12:38 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Well that makes sense.

But even if 50,000 people went, and that’s a reach no matter who is playing, the place would still be pretty empty.

I don’t think Penn State and Texas A&M generated 65,000 people for the Alamo Bowl, and I can’t see how Houston and Minnesota can draw 80% of that.

Penn State claims to have sold all it's tickets

but our section wasn’t full, and there were a ton of A&M fans in it.

The AlamoDome’s capacity is only about 65,000, if I had to guess, I’d say it would be less. The Cotton Bowl Stadium holds in excess of 90,000. Imagine what even 60,000 people would look like, let alone 30,000.

It wasn't full.

For the ’07 Alamo Bowl, just before the game I walked up off the street and bought a pair of tickets, lower level, in the Penn State section. Was sitting in the end zone area behind the band, close to the wall.

11W Post

Ignoring the comments of Buckeyski (I would be willing to bet he/she probably lives somewhere in north west Ohio and has never even been on campus) I actually thought that the post itself was pretty informative. I personally think they have on some seriously scarlet colored glasses when it comes to Pryor but everyone is allowed a little homerism.

I also am always put in my place a bit when the focus of the comments is on the possibility of a new uniform the week they place us. I know the rivalry is growing on their radar, but we certainly haven’t arrived quite yet.

Columbus

I would offer up Columbus, OH, as the worst kind of American city.

I live in the country, but I’ve spent plenty of time studying urban design, and though American cities are often bad, they don’t have to be. In fact, I see great possibilities in cities.

But Columbus? It is wholly urban (not like classic college “cities”, from Athens, GA, to Bloomington, IN) but it’s freeway-choked, absent natural waterways, and lacking in good public spaces and transportation. Without those things, the great possibilities of urban life — a rich public life, easy navigation, overlapping neighborhoods, genuine pluralism — are impossible. Instead, you get what amounts to a really big strip mall. Over and over again.

I mean, nobody expects a place like Columbus to be New York City. But that place isn’t even Cincinnati.

ok, i can't believe i'm saying this but...

Columbus is actually a wonderful city. i lived there for several years. it was some of the best city planning i have seen in regards to roadways. instead of waiting for clusterf%$ks to develop, they have expanded roads as the population growing. it’s the people there don’t know how to drive it. plus it is a wonderful place for young adults, those who have just graduated college, to live, especially downtown. the mayor there has done a lot revitalizing downtown.

columbus is one of the fastest growing cities in america. some areas have seen an 85% growth in the last couple years. and that is because most of the graduates of the area colleges (there are several colleges there) do not leave. they do not leave because they are able to find employment, the schools (outside of downtown) are really good, the area is nice and there is plenty to do.

please don’t mistake this for support for the Buckeyes or the vast majority of people in columbus. those people are the absolutely laziest, rudestest, worst driving people i have ever met. they are also arrogant, think their city is the absolute best and that their shite doesn’t stink.

and i freaking HATE HATE HATE Ohio State

Ah, the Columbus Crew. On a tangential note, I completely love how Seattle fans have become such huge fans of their MLS team in their inaugural year. I only hope that Philadelphians give the Union the same level of love.

As for the the NHL team, Rick Nash takes offense at your lack of knowledge of the Blue Jackets. He’s also offended that you didn’t offer to take him with you once you left the city.

The rest of the Blue Jacket’s players and owners aren’t surprised.
