NCAA Week 12

[Jake from State Farm]

Campbell and Fickell would be good choices
Tony Annese of Ferris State might get a look but probably not
I wonder if Campbell would consider Michigan State an improvement or a lateral move

 

[Starman]

I doubt they'd jump somebody up from GLIAC level, unless they got turned down by a lot of other guys first (echoes of Muddy Waters).

I trash on Sparty all the time but it's not a "lateral move" from Iowa State.

It isn’t but Campbell might think he could do better

It isn’t but Campbell might think he could do better

He certainly might, depending what opens up in the next month or so. And remembering of course that Dantonio is still, as of this moment, officially returning for Sparty.

Toledo football player ejected after one of the nastiest targeting penalties you'll see

 

[Batman]

If I could make 10k, all I’m thinking is, “Plenty of time to get back into this.”

Which is why I don’t gamble.

I'm all for taking some flyers on the occasional underdog. Hell, I did it last week and almost pulled it off. But if I was trying to turn a $5 bet into $10,000 I'd rather do one of those insane 20-team parlays people hit every now and then instead of betting on Rutgers to win that game.

More bad news for Brian Kelly.

Irish sellout streak likely to end at 273 vs. Navy

Hide the scaffolding.

 

[BTExpress]

The SEC gets special treatment. It has since the beginning of the CFP.

You're right.

But the special treatment likely would have evaporated had the SEC gone 0-3 in the semifinals (Big 12) or 1-2 (Big Ten).

Instead, they're 5-1. Judges appreciate being proven right.

 

[DanOregon]

I do wonder why more people aren't bringing up the shaky at best non-conference performance of the SEC. The losses are worse than the wins are good.

Would like to know how that materialized as a story, why bring it up days in advance of the game? It shouldn't be embarrassing -- still a helluva streak -- but some will make it out to be that. When the truth is that there's just too much seat inventory all over college football, unless you're hosting the latest Game of the Century.

Carolina borrowing Duke's pants and helmets again. Again, why have a distinctive/universally-recognized school color, but not wear it?

Pitt's unis are great, classic Marino-era look.

How can ND sell out Bowling Green but not Navy?

Says more about the interest attending games in person than it does about the Irish.

 

[MileHigh]

Virginia Tech, Navy and Boston College at home in November. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

The ceiling is the roof ... with uniforms, too, apparently ...

 

[MileHigh]

Why is Pitt playing a home game the same night the Steelers are playing?

 

[HappyCurmudgeon]

And the one game I'd pay to see is the one that won't sell out.

This is a great question. Would love to know what the local rating is in the Steel City.

Ask the waterhead in New York. The ACC schedule was out two months before the NFL's.

Prices are too damn high.
