NCAA Football 2011-2012

And I agree with him 100%. The farce partial joining of the conference was BS from day one. BUT, the Big East brass has no one to blame but themselves for allowing it! THAT was the day I lost all desires to the fanboy stuff for a conference.

I see where you're coming from now Salsa. I would've felt the same.

Didn't they say in Rudy that the helmets were painted with a little bit of real gold in the paint mixed in?

 

[Ramy]

I am just trying to figure out why is it a big deal now? I mean is this Notre Dame's version of a 're-grand openning' ?

I think it is a new helmet style and gold color.

 

[Jimbo]

I onced read they get spray painted before every game.

That happens often, not sure if it's before EVERY game, but more often than you might think.

Speaking of ND football, looks like they're the reason the Big East is falling apart. At least in one coach's opinion:

Connecticut Huskies Geno Auriemma blames Notre Dame Fighting Irish for Big East football issue - ESPN

I agree with that statement, then ND has the balls to say Pitt and syracuse is just thinking for themselves and not the conference, seems hypocritical to me.

Going to be interesting to see what happens with NBC and Notre Dame going forward. Dick Ebersol was always in love with Notre Dame football, and NBC carrying Notre Dame football.

Not sure how Comcast will feel about that in the future.

But nice catholic schools like that don't do that....

Could not agree with you more Cy...

Gonna be interesting to see what happens if the following plays out:

The winner of Alabama/LSU goes undefeated
The winner of Oklahoma/Oklahoma State goes undefeated
Clemson, Michigan State and Stanford also go undefeated

Most likely the winner of the SEC bracket and the Oklahoma bracket will play in the National Championship game...but there would be much screaming.

If Oklahoma has a loss before the Ok-State game, that would probably knock the Cowboys out of the running, even with a win against OU. The toughest part of the Cowboys' schedule is behind them. No chances left to impress with a win against anyone else.

My guess is that an undefeated Wisconsin would get in over the Cowboys.

Wisconsin will beat Michigan State this weekend, possibly BIG ... (10-14 points is MY guess)

Wisconsin will definitely be in the mix for the NC if they go undefeated, and rightly so...especially now that there is a Big10CG to be played. If the SEC, the Big12, and Big10 champs are all undefeated at the end, the BCS will have a tough decision on it's hands and the one left out will be getting a royal screwing IMHO.

 

[salsadancer7]

I wish ESPN would get rid of that score update at the bottom of the screen. Sometime, you cannot see a replay because of that.

Yeah, sorta like the year Auburn got screwed out of it.

Or a streaking ref.

Yep, like that.

Lol... That was too damn funny!

 

[salsadancer7]

I don't see "U" beating GT... sorry just don't see it and even if they did I don't think it will mean much considering UVA's spanking they gave to GT on Saturday. The coastal is pretty damn near decided since VT plays BC this weekend (easy game), then Duke (easy game) and the only thing left is UNC and GT with GT maybe..and I stress maybe being the hardest game left with a finish up at UVA. At this point dude I'd be concerned with Miami becoming Bowl Eligible let alone make the ACC race interesting.

Well...there you go. Not only did The U spank GT...they are only 1 game behind VaTech.

Lol... You should seriously lay off the "easy game" label when it comes to conference games...one of those "easy games" can come back and bite you in the a$$.

Yes, there was a time when ESPN didn't have the scores constantly on the bottom line, only on espn2 at the time, ESPN would only show them at the Top and Bottom of the hour ... I wish they would go BACK to that.

Saturday night and I would love to be watching football but we've been overtaken by the hollywood weatherman. Rain's knocked out sat signal so I can't watch espn or fsn games and the weathermen have preempted the notre dame/USC game, the abc games and the world series. I am in sports hell!!!!!
