There was a burb of a press conf / interview on the local news tonight. Urbanian Meyer said........"I wouldn't have come here if Spurrier hadn't built a great program here. [highlight]I'm 43, at my age nobody wants to go where they have to build a program." [/highlight] WTF?

I use Dr Bramlett but he's in St. Pete.

He may be a good player, but I prefer having standards in my football program. What? You want them to stop in the middle of a play and factor the value of "X" ?

Is there anything I can do to help?

I wouldn't mind one either.

Actually, other than the Super Bowl and the NCAA Championship game - [highlight]the TV networks are actually losing money on their broadcasts[/highlight] -- that is why you get so many blurbs for their programs, where the networks recoup their losses. I don't buy that. Networks cancel shows that don't make money, much less would they show them week after week, season after season.

Give em hell Sheriff!!! I can't stand most GAtor fans!

Lots of good 3 stars out there too.  Grothe for example.  Also, I think J.R. Reed was a 2 star. Hell, right now, Scout.com has Carlton Hill as a 1 star?

So you think he really thinks we aren't doing well and that CJL isn't that good and that he really wants the Buckeyes to win the NC? "then he (Crist) said [highlight]all[/highlight] FL teams were doing well esp South Florida in tmpa with coach JL who had a stellar year and won their bowl" Yep...FIU (0-12) and UCF (4-8) did really well. Political speak! I think he was talking about the BCS teams? Nobody gives a $ht about FIU and not much more about ucf!

You guys keep mentioning losing money by switching to playoffs? :-? Do you really think the NFL playoffs this week aren't going to make $$$$$ ? Do you think March Madness doesn't make $$$$$$ ? A playoff could potentially do better than bowls. Why? Because it would matter to all fans (not just fans of the 2 schools) who wins and moves on (more viewers = more Ad $$$$ )

BIG EAST'S BIG YEAR KEEPS GETTING BETTER Louisville's Orange Bowl victory improves BIG EAST's bowl record to 4-0 with Jan. 6 International Bowl left The BIG EAST is 4-0 in bowls this season following Louisville's Orange Bowl victory Tuesday Jan. 3, 2007 PROVIDENCE, R.I. - When asked at the post game trophy presentation following Louisville's 24-13 Orange Bowl victory over Wake Forest Tuesday night about the lack of respect the BIG EAST received during the regular season, Cardinals head coach Bobby Petrino had the perfect response: "What's our record in bowls this season?" Everyone knew the answer, including the Louisville faithful at Dolphins Stadium who let out a roar upon hearing Petrino's rhetorical question. Four-and-oh, with one to go. If you've visited the BIG EAST's web site at any point from Dec. 13 through the end of the bowl season, you noticed that the league had "A Regular Season to Remember" (see opening montage at www.bigeast.org until Jan. 7). Should Cincinnati defeat Western Michigan in the inaugural International Bowl on Jan. 6, the Conference will have a "Bowl Season For The Ages." It would mean that the BIG EAST finished the bowl season at 5-0 and would mark the first time in the Bowl Championship Series era that any charter BCS conference has gone undefeated. It would also be just the second time in history that any of the "Big Six" conferences (SEC, ACC, Big Ten, Big 12 and Pac-10 being the others) finished a bowl season undefeated with at least five bowl qualifying teams. The only other time was in 1996 when the SEC also went 5-0. USF (9-4, 4-3 BIG EAST) kicked off the BIG EAST's bowl slate by defeating East Carolina 24-7 on Dec. 23 in the inaugural PapaJohns.com Bowl in Birmingham, Ala. The victory was the first bowl win in school history for the Bulls. The USF program began in 1997. No. 16/17 Rutgers (11-2, 5-2 BIG EAST) beat Kansas State 37-10 in the Texas Bowl on Dec. 28 in Houston, Texas. It was the second straight bowl appearance for the Scarlet Knights, marking the first time in school history in which Rutgers accomplished that feat. The bowl win by RU was its first in program history. In the Toyota Gator Bowl on Jan. 1, No. 13/12 West Virginia (11-2, 5-2 BIG EAST) rallied from an 18-point, second half deficit to defeat Georgia Tech 38-35. It was the Mountaineers' first-ever Gator Bowl victory and gave WVU bowl wins in back-to-back seasons. Last year, West Virginia defeated Georgia 38-35 in the Nokia Sugar Bowl. The BIG EAST finished the 2006 regular season with a 32-8 (.800) mark versus non-conference opponents, including 11-7 (.611) against teams from other charter BCS conferences. The league's winning percentage versus non-conference opponents (.800) was already the best in the history of the league. With four more wins coming in bowl games, the BIG EAST has improved its non-conference record this season to 36-8 (.818). The BIG EAST has posted unbeaten bowl marks twice in league history (1991, '95) with both instances coming in years the conference participated in just two games. If the BIG EAST was to win its final two games and run the table in its five-game bowl slate, the league would register its best bowl season (5-0) in conference history (see table below).

We'll cee. ;D

big east beat teams they were suppose to beat great accomplishment Oklahoma didn't beat the team they were supposed to, so I guess they REALLY had a great accomplishment!

I bullieve you are too late? Besides, "TBD" has this thing wrapped up. ;D

Now we bring in a man that's talking apples and oranges. There is progress it's called creating a dollar system that has paid more dollars to Universities and conferences this year then any other system ever created.  They added a 5th BCS game, and will soon be adding a 'play-in' game most likely.  Maybe not the 'horseless' buggies, but advancements are being made.  [highlight]With that being said, it's stupid to scrap a system that works.[/highlight]  How does that make sense?  How is that similar to horse and buggy?  If a playoff system could be created that would still maintain the continuity of the bowl system, still include as many teams as it already does, still pay-out nearly $200M in gross dollars to all the conferences, still keep nuetrality in the system, still have the same television contracts and fan interest....if a play-off system can be created that does all that then it makes sense, until then it doesn't. Your horseless buggie analogy doesn't work because the horseless buggie was an 'improvement' on the current situation.  As it stands there is no facts a change to a play-off will be an improvement in fact to many already know it will worsen the current state.  AND if 'improving' is just to find a #1 team that meets the fans fancy well the BCS and conferences will tweak the current system until they find that improvement, not scrap a great thing that's already in-place. If it worked, we woudn't have this discussion every year.  : :  : Like I posted b4, "If you think D1-A has it right, then you think all other sports have it wrong." I just can't see how anyone with a logical mind can argue with that.

sbien, I'm sorry, but if everyone thinks the way you are in this, we'd still be riding horse & buggies. Do you know how many Blacksmith's make their living shoeing horses? To suggest they give that up for horseless buggies is "IGNORANT" Sorry dude, but it's called progress!

The race for the prestigious Bulliever's Cup is on! I predict "TBD" wins the cup.  The guy has won 7 or 8 straght!  ;D

The way I heard it best phrased........ "If you think division 1-a college football is doing things right, then you think all other sports (which use a playoff system) have it wrong!"

What's the family business?
