But they don't play anybody!
It's another run at perfection and the scheduling snobs have returned with their tired and boring argument that Utah doesn't deserve to be anywhere in the BCS picture because they just don't play anyone. This year, they actually do have somewhat of a case because the Utes have had a steady diet of...
Some Out-of-Conference Tidbits
Yesterday I touched on how bad our out-of-conference opponents this year are. I mentioned how none had winning records last year, and how all have new head coaches, who have never been college head coaches before. That doesn't even capture how bad they are. I didn't really realize how horrible the...
Get Rich or Play Towson
I'm not a betting man. (Medill folk: are sports journalists even allowed to? Seems like that would be sorta unethical, right?) My last foray into betting was a monthlong NBA centsports addiction that saw my worth rocket to $1.38, then collapse, ending with my betting my last 16 cents on the...
Explain yourselves.
So, 42 of you sick people have voted in the poll over on the right. If you haven't yet, go.But here's the point of this post: 26 of those people, like me, think Syracuse is the team to fear off the out of conference bunch. I can see why. They're a Big East team, they've got a top recruit, if you...
Others Receiving Votes
ERRRRRRRRRRRRRR?Look, I know we ain't top 25, and we shouldn't be top 25, and we shouldn't be top 25 even if we go 6-1 or something against the Magnolia Bakery portion of our schedule. I wouldn't say we should be.And I know last year's team that ended up 9-4 started the season not even being an...
The OOC
Remember sunday, when I said I'd post every single day until football season? I meant it, but I probably should've put a caveat saying "except days when I inexplicably don't have internet access." Anyway, crisis resolved, there'll be two today and one every day from here on out. So I was on a...
A First Glance at Michigan Basketball's 2009-2010 Non-Conference Schedule
About a week ago Michigan announced the Men's Basketball team's 2009-2010 Non-Conference Schedule. A quick glance at that schedule resulted in a mixture of "woo!" and "meh." It's kind of a mixed bag, and at first glance I'm not really sure how to deal with it. Sure there are some tough, tough games...
Preview: Nebraska Cornhuskes vs New Mexico State Aggies
New Mexico State was originally slated to play a game against Nicholls State last week, but that game was postponed because of hurricane Gustav. It’s now been cancelled due to damage to the Nicholls State stadium, but the key is that the Aggies come into Lincoln having not played a game....
Nebraska vs San Jose State Pay Per View - You Buying?
It's a given that I'll be watching the SJSU game Saturday, plopping down another $29.95 to Fox. It's looking like the pay per view ordering process is about the same as it was last week, except maybe the Dish Network and DirecTV channels have changed a little. I talked my sister who lives in...
Nebraska versus San Jose State Preview
The upcoming game against San Jose State isn’t all that interesting when you look at the two teams, so instead of doing a regular preview, I sat down with our new mascot Cobby to discuss the upcoming game. (I wouldn’t consider this so much as talking to myself as I would another voice...
