Re:Leach...it must be more money.  Though he has shown signs of fatigue at WSU the last two years.  I think he is the kind of guy that wears out his welcome...a bit like Jim Harbaugh?

Twenty five or so years ago, I used to think internet forums held the promise for intelligent discussion of opposing concepts.  I think I badly misjudged how they would be used.

The poor taste is on me. As The Mqn Who Hires Welles put it, "An attempt at humor, I assume."

As a joke it was funny.   If it were true...not so much.

Old Mississippi has hired.D J Durkins to be defensive coordinator and run its off season conditioning program.  Kiffin promises."killer workouts".

I saw this morning that Kiffin had hired him.  I assume him being in charge of offseason conditioning was merely a part of your set up and not actually true?  That would be in poor taste if it were true...and I think even Kiffin is not quite that stupid

God's Conference dominated the bowl season this year. 6 - 2, including winning all three of its NY6 games.

yeah, but "They Suck" is a subjective term.

Have you ever driven from Vegas to Phoenix at sunset with a shower and lightning coming in?

My most interesting experience like that was driving East on the 40 at night about 20 years ago with lightning strikes visibly hitting the ground on both sides of the freeway.  While I was indeed impressed by the "Light Show," I was also scared s***less.   I have never been that scared inside the Rosebowl...even when UCLA actually threatened to win.  Therefore, I'm going to give the nod to watching the sunset at the Rosebowl out of those two experiences. 

Though tonight, I was completely happy watching scarlet and blue intermix over the Saddleback Mountain out my back window while watching the Rosebowl from our family room.

Go Ala... Go Mi... Fuck this game.

Yeah.  I had picked Alabama in the poll.   But I would not have minded if Michigan had won, since I all for the downfall of the evil empire.   But I was pretty ambivalent

Quick trivia: Of teams with at least 3 appearances, what school has the best winning percentage in Rose Bowl history?

Not sure, but I think I know the answer to "of teams with at least 30 Rose Bowl Appearances, which has the best winning percentage?"

Adding playoff teams does not make a lot of economic sense either.
The four preliminary games would be two weeks before the Holiday weekend and upsets could deaden the glow of possible Marquee Matchups.

I agree with you on this.   

I have heard a lot of the younger college football announcers arguing for expanded playoffs and frankly their arguments are less than stellar.  This morning...it was either Danny Kannel or Greg McIroy was arguing that the LSU Oklahoma game was a great argument for an expanded playoff.  His line of thinking was that Oklahoma would have been eliminated earlier and this semi-final would have been a better matchup.

How about... there were three teams this year that deserved a shot and it didn't matter who the 4th placeholder was?

I predict the Tigers will win the National Championship and Death Valley will be celebrating.


That was fun

By the way, I think you should be allowed to celebrate a fat guy touchdown however you see fit.

I thought that was already an official rule?

All the best teams play on the Friday after Christmas. I am sure trojanhorse agrees.

I will not protest.  That's about all I can offer though.   As bad as we've been playing, I'm of the opinion that the less said, the better

this will automatically track with confidence points, but more importantly perhaps, Steve, you can use the data to recreate your wins/losses game however you want to.  for instance from today forward if not everyone already a pickset in place.

I can set a bowl pickem easily on the ESPN/Capital one site.  Since I'm already doing it for another group

The only question would be starting from now (locked) or accepting pick sets already submitted from other contests (including yesterdays games)
