Ball State ended their regular season with a perfect 12-0 record. They go to the MAC championship game as the first undefeated team from the conference since Marshall in 1999.

UGA will honor legendary announcer Larry Munson in a ceremony between the first & second quarter on Saturday. They opted to do the recognition at that point because one of the few things Munson has never had a chance to do is be down on the field when the stadium was packed.
I'm afraid that will cause things to be more rushed than they should be but I like the notion of trying to do something that would be different for him.

What a stirring sight, seeing Mack Brown get the gatorade bath after Texas beat 35 point underdog Texas A&M 49-9.

Supposedly if the Miners win tomorrow against ECU they'll be extended an offer to the Hawaii Bowl and face our former WAC foe Rainbow Warriors. I would get excited thinking that this would motivate the Miners to play their best, but a similar deal was in place two years ago with the FW Bowl and we laid an egg against, I believe, Memphis.

I am in favor of rewarding excellence and the very good, not mediocracy. A team can be in second-to-last place in their conference, be 5-6, ranked among the bottom third of teams and not having beaten anyone with a winning record and yet still can possibly rewarded with a post-season bowl game. (Not referring to UTEP, just speaking generally). The only reason I would be in favor of a playoffs if it would reduce the number of teams playing in the post-season.

Not to mention that it allows teams at worst an extra couple weeks of practice. Probably not the same for when teams are preparing for high profile bowls, but those second-tier bowl teams use that time to get second-stringers first team reps, and to see how the team will start to look when the seniors are gone. Hell, Rutgers played in the International Bowl last year, which was held AFTER a couple BCS games, somewhere around January 5th, and it meant 5 more weeks of practice and an additional 2 weeks compared to if they played in a similar Christmas time bowl. Come to think of it, with our start this year, maybe that extra practice was a bad thing ![]() |

I enjoyed John Saunders and Doug Flutie telling us how great and "exciting" the BCS is.

Ole Miss dominating Miss. St 31-0 at the half.
EMU leads CMU 42-35 at the half ... in [/i]FOOTBALL[/i]. ECU over UTEP 24-0 late in Q2. Pitt leads WVU 7-6 about 10 mins left in Q3.

ESPN's Chris Low reporting that, barring any contractual complications over the weekend, Tennessee will introduce Lane Kiffin as their new head coach on Monday.

I can't believe an offense that returned Pat White, Noel Devine, and the entire starting line from the Fiesta Bowl win turned into a big turd in just one season under Bill Stewart's watch. I didn't expect WVU to be great this season, but with a pretty weak schedule, I at least expected the offense to be fun to watch. This has been the most disappointing sports season, for one of my teams, of my life.

Speaking of shitting their pants, 17 straight for LSU, and it is LSU 20, Arkansas 14. Almost an exact repeat of last week's start at MSU. Sigh.

LSU 30, Arkansas 24, Arkansas getting the ball back with 2:22 left in the game, no timeouts. Casey Dick has gone most of the way in the 2nd half in place of his brother, Nathan.

Um, he wasn't that far off. Better chance of that than a hail mary. I am kind of glad we lost, this should force Les Miles hand in firing our inept defensive coaches. But the holding penalty on the first down run(he was engaged inside the shoulders) and the pass interference that negated the INT (the defender has the right to take up space, the same play wasn't called against Arkansas and LSU later on) were BS calls that cost LSU the game nearly as much as bad coaching. |

Im sure some SEC apologist on ESPN will find a way of spinning this into how SEC is an even tougher conference now.

Arkansas game provides obvious headline:

You couldn't work Nuttless in there somehow? Man, some of our fans are wanting us to go after defensive coordinator Dick Bumpas at TCU for next year, too.

Ole Miss rolls Mississippi State in the egg bowl, 45-0. General consensus is Ole Miss is favored to go to the Cotton Bowl after LSU drops one to Arkansas. I hope we don't play Texas Tech.
