Big payday and road trip to Tuscaloosa for a football weekend. Probably a TV game on ESPN or SEC Network:

Interesting data on where schools stack up:

Count me in; nothing better than watching a football game and smoking a cigar. It’s especially nice when your wife isn’t going to tell you to go outside.

I'd be interested in joining the group when I can. Sounds like fun.

Just to keep the facts straight Mississippi State not Ole Miss.

Expansion will happen again in the next couple of years and it will make the last round seem minor. Texas A&M has decided to get serious about options to move conferences as they see their performance on the field improving and still never be treated as an equal with Texas in Big 12 -2.

I think you're right for just about any college football program in the top 50. It goes back to the
philosophy that an individual should never pick a school ...

I think you would be surprised at APR ratings. Don’t think punishing schools with bad APR's quicker would bring any parity. Most of the big powers are doing fairly well:

There has been increased scrutiny of the over signing issue in recent years. The last 3-4 years have been really over the top. Here’s how a BCS CONFERENCE COMPARISON 2002-10 looks:

The SEC started applying the new 28-cap rule last year -- and it worked so well that Auburn and LSU signed 32 and 29, respectively. That's because the cap can be bypassed by enrolling recruits before or after the ...

I’m glad Oldkeeper is back; I’m able to take away important life lessons from his posts (opinions):

Don’t ever say anything good or reinforce positive results but be the first to give your opinion and jump on less than favourable outcomes...

[quote="redpony"][quote="HeyHey"] Gee- what a novel idea -figuring out how to win despite the injuries. When those injuries happened I stated that the coaching staff should, could and probably would adjust their strategies and game plans to fit the available talent. At that time there were many who ...

The broadcast is very disappointing. The audio is not even turned on so you can hear the stadium announcer and the video quality is so poor you can't even tell who is doing what. Come on SMU! Let's get this fixed!

Since both coaches arrived they’ve had to recruit new talented players and make adjustments to their rosters because of injuries and performance. I'll buy into your example with JJ and his ability to make the right decisions as injuries occur to players. Using the results of the football team ...

Looking forward to seeing the show. At some point in the future will DVD's be available?
