    Revised Ranking Prediction for Sunday

    All it means is it was a bad week to have a bye week, in the first half of the season. Still have over half of the season to go. No use getting worked up about it. Maybe we will be pleasantly surprised, just dont count on it.

    AP Voter Fraud

    Actually I think the AP poll does matter, because ESPN uses the AP poll as the rankings of the teams playing. And Chris Fowler and Herbie both talk about how they are going to vote each week at the end of the Saturday night games. And since ESPN is the most nationally followed resource for...

    Is 2010 Another 2004?

    Doesnt Norm Parker need to lose a toe or something like that? But actually he's already in the hospital, so I'd rather have him come back to health to tie both years together as having problems he overcame. Hope he's back soon and healthy again.

    Was that the most dominant performance of the KF era?

    ASU at home in 2003 was pretty dominating. It was only 21-2, but I remember the crowd being loud the whole game and never feeling like ASU had a chance.

    Will the divisional alignment hurt our recruiting?

    Nebraska did play up to 4 teams from the state of Texas a year though and we only play maybe once in OH or PA. Having said that, the Big 10 network is a nice tool, along with ESPN/ABC's Big 10 coverage. And we are still in the same conference and will still play some of those teams in the...

    Murray, Gettis and Prater to Miss EIU game

    Last year we played an in-state school with in-state players, that has performed very well recently if you have followed them. It was almost a rivarly-type game. This game is nothing like that, and they have the results from last year to keep the team on their toes for this game. Expect a game...

    Rivals.com Bowl Predictions

    1. I heard we have a pretty good head coach too. 2. We have talent as well. 3. If GT was "crushed" 30-24 by UGa, then I guess we'd have to say Iowa "crushed" a lot of teams last year too since a 6 point victory is "crushing" someone, including GT since we "crushed" them 24-14. And since we about...

    UI's clarification of Tailgating Policy = DUI maker

    This is the official DUI maker......drinking too much alcohol and then driving. Wow, bombshell revelation! Dont blame the university or the police. You cant get a DUI if you dont drink and drive, no matter how many police are out there. Do YOUR part. Drink in moderation in approved areas...

    Escobar murdered because of own goal.

    Oh yeah, women's. Sorry, there arent killings going on as a result of Women's soccer results. Nice try.

    Escobar murdered because of own goal.

    Obviously you dont know much about it since you are reporting on a murder that happened when the US hosted the World Cup 16 years ago. I'd be willing to bet you didnt even know we hosted a World Cup.

    Just Wondering

    If we were ISU though, we wouldnt have been making as much TV money as we are now, so we likely wouldnt have the same football program that we have now. But basically you cant compare the two situations because its impossible to believe that a conference with OSU, Michigan, Penn State wouldnt...

    Any change USC sanctions saves the Big 12?

    *** meant to say, any CHANCE USC sanctions saves the Big 12 *** Just a thought, but if USC doesnt win any appeals, they wont be relevant as far as major bowl games etc for 2 years, which could hurt recruiting as well as cause some players to transfer "back home". Since the fans in SoCal are...

    Seantrel Henderson wins singing day..

    I dont understand why all the pub? He's an offensive lineman. Its not like his highlights are going to be on Sportscenter each Saturday night in the fall. I just think the whole thing is funny. He is just taking the publicity while he can get it, as are his parents. He will be stuck in...

    Can Wegher be like Percy Harvin?

    How about its like comparing the ingredients of a chocolate cake to a chocolate cake (although a stack of CDs is funnier)? Wegher just finished his freshman year of college and is just getting started putting everything together. Harvin is now off to a good start in the NFL, so its obvious he...

    ESPNU Football podcast 1/12

    Beano said that if Ohio State played in the Big 12 or Pac 10 or SEC they wouldnt fare as well as they will in the Big 10. I am always impressed with Beano's knowledge of history, but I think somewhere along the line he has stopped learning new things and is stuck back pre-1980, besides his...
