This. In response to a Sparty fan who was asking about one of MSU's (remaining) WRs, Ritt said that he didn't even rank "more accomplished" WRs like DJK, McNutt, and someone else. In another post, he said something like "Iowa fans would be very happy with the top five." I'm guessing...

Kirk Ferentz is the most awesomest dude in the history of awesomeness. That is a proven fact. Chuck Norris told me so.

I think Cuse is a key part of the full-court press (double meaning intended) the Big Ten will use in its NYC strategy. Rutgers + Syracuse + Notre Dame + Penn State + Ohio State + Michigan = quite possibly enough eyeballs in NYC to get the killer cable deal that will make Delaney kiss his pinky...

I prefer starting in Australia. MUCH easier to defend.

I love it. It would be poetic justice if all that Texa$$ gloating and blame-gaming came back to hit 'em where it hurts.

Good point. You know, the BTN could totally nail down the English market by adding Man United...

Hey, man! Why are you always sticking up for Ken O'Keefe? What's the DEAL??? :confused:

Straw man. No, I was not saying that. But I guess it's easier to make **** up when you're debating someone, but don't have a substantive argument to make. Regarding my first point, many news agencies have been reporting on the words and deeds of the Henderson family in recent months. I've...

1. Can anyone post any reputable link that shows that Seantrel is anything but a highly talented teenage athlete who is getting a lot of attention? Lots of comments here about his "character" that seem based mostly on preconceived notions. If I'm wrong about that, gimme a link. What exactly...

I knew you were being sarcastic when I first read your post.

You make a very good point here about the costs of higher education these days. The share of taxes paid by big business and the wealthiest Americans has been plummeting the last several decades, causing states to face more and more budget crises. States aren't allowed to run deficits like the...

This. It's not like we have to make a plan that will be set in stone for decades. Most proponents for mixing up the divisions concede that Iowa and Wisconsin are pretty strong "for now," but assume that in the long run PSU, OSU, and Mich will dominate. The four year review provision allows us...

I agree, and this is something that is overlooked by so many commentators. They think "competitive balance" and they interpret that as: add up the total winning percentage (or in Mandel's case seeds that are directly based on winning percentage) for each division and try to make those two...

When he first started hitting the headlines, I was excited like most people. As the circus around him and his father dragged on, I started thinking more and more about Jeff Christensen and Craig James. I hope the kid finds a place that'll help him keep his feet on the ground and his head in...

I think the coaches will use the trio to full effect. I think Ferentz has already mentioned rotating the three. If it hasn't happened already, Hampton is all but certain to be suspended for EIU due to his recent shenanigans. Robinson and Wegher will start the season as #1 and #2, and Hampton...

No, I was thinking the same thing. And I had to look for a few seconds to find it. Now, can you see the tablespoon in the FedEx logo? I think it means "take your medicine, because you don't get any sick days working for us!"

They demonstrate their proficiency in the Roman Numeral for 50 when they play Iowa...

I'm a big fan of both kinds of football, and that crap is really starting to get on my nerves while watching the World Cup. Some Americans have plenty of stupid reasons to hate soccer. We don't need to add one actually good reason to hate it, too.

Bravo, sir. LOL

Nice thread and great discussion. Here's my take as a lifelong Hawkeye from Omaha: 1. The Blackshirts Are Back. Two years ago jaws were dropping from coast to coast at the utter ineptitude of Callahan's defense. In 2009 the defense was elite again. Pretty quick turnaround. That's...
