LSU-South Carolina to air on ESPN - Tiger Tracks

 

So I have to go and redo all of my college football TV listings?
Damn you, Joaquin.

 

Bevo's tired of watching Texas suck too.

 

How did nobody mention the 25-year anniversary of the Fifth Down Game?

 

Apparently there's a non-zero chance Beaver Stadium meets the wrecking ball.

Replace Beaver Stadium? Penn State exploring all options to address shortcomings

 

Yes, I am too young. But in the context of where Michigan was in 2014 and how both teams did in their season openers this year, that's why I am surprised.

 

I was at the 2002 Holiday Bowl when WAZZU beat Texas. Whichever Bevo it was at the time was retired after the game. I celebrated the win with a cheeseburger and it was good.

 

If Michigan had been a single-digit favorite against Northwestern in the 70s and 80s, Vegas would be a bankrupt ghost town.

 

Saw a John Pont led Northwestern take on a WAC team in the 70s.

It was a beatdown.

 

Northwestern beat Michigan in 1965. It then lost the next 19 games of the series by a combined 602 points (32 points a game) before winning again in 1995. Only four of those losses were by single digits, and two of those came at the start of the streak, in 1966 and 1967. They played 14 times between 1975 and 1992 and 12 of those times Michigan won by 31 or more points.

What I found most interesting was, they didn't even play in 1969, 1970, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1985, 1986, 1989, 1990, 1993 and 1994. The Big Ten had a pretty liberal skip policy, even when it really had 10 teams.

 

I think Northwestern had two of the first three black coaches (Francis Peay, Dennis Green), with Cleve Bryant in between at Ohio.

Heck, back in the day, Oregon State lost to Grambling, I think

 

Sarkisian better beat ND AND UCLA at this point.
