That's what I keep saying, but all these big school fans just wanna call the "small" schools pussies for not taking the deal at all.

I definitely wouldn't take a deal that wasn't even. Don't want to come to our house too? Fuck off.

Even though we sometimes see things differently, this I agree with you mors. You wouldn't get away with even thinking of the 1 and done shit with BCS conference school, but oh, because you're in the MWC or something, fuck you. You come to our house to play us and that's it, or we turn you down. Bullshit. If they're willing to come to your house to play, then grow some fucking balls and go play at their place one time.

I would love to see a home and home between TCU and Ohio State or Wisconsin or someone. I think it would be a hell of a game. But this disrespectful 1 and done bullshit is a major fucking slap in the face to TCU, Boise, and others. You wouldn't even try to pull that bullshit with the bottom dweller teams in the SEC, Big 12, Big East, etc, but oh, it's fine to try and pull that bullshit with TCU and Boise because they are in the "Little of Sisters of the Poor MWC", even if they are ranked in the top 10/20 year after year.

Since TCU is a BCS school starting in 2012, and has been in two consecutive BCS games, I really don't think Wisconsin is stupid enough to be splitting those kinds of hairs.

Plus, I think you're overlooking a key part of the story. This wasn't Wisconsin trying to setup a one-and-done and declining a home-and-home ... a home-and-home was never discussed. It was a third-party doing all the discussions.

Well, not so much Wisconsin themselves, but others who have turned down TCU and Boise and others, because they wanted a home and home. And you're correct, my bad. I got off track from the story and blamed Wisconsin. It's the idiots in the third-party that were basically saying fuck you to TCU by only inquiring about a one and done at Wisconsin and not asking about interest in a home and home, when TCU has proven themselves time and time again.

And unfortunately, while they will be a BCS school starting in 2012, technically they are still only a lowly non-AQ team who still has not received the respect that they deserve to get in the eyes of the BCS and BCS teams.

Orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ... it could be that Wisconsin only had one vacancy and the third-party (I honestly think it was probably ESPN) was trying to setup a marquee matchup rather than making a home-and-home deal (which no third party would have the ability to negotiate).

[Rudy]

If a third party wants to set up a 1 and done series then they should focus on a neutral site. Like when the Wolverines are going to take down Bama in 2012!

No one mentioned the guy killing the tree...where are you guys hearts?

I'm honestly trying to ignore that A) it happened and B) It's such a major story. I know it's a massive Auburn tradition, but I was shocked by how widespread the story became.

ESPN did this a few years ago when they set up an Oregon State vs PSU matchup early in the season. I'd fall more in that line of thinking here.

Nothing to see here in my opinion. I'm like you and shocked this is such a major story.

Hell, thee hath frozen over.

For everything else, I applaud the man. But for ^^^^, he can rot.

I'll get used to it quickly, but I don't like removing those stripes. I think it's very bland without them (I know that sounds crazy given what we're talking about). It seems like change for the sake of change.

[JeffHCross]

Yeah, I'm not sure how removing the stripes makes the uniform more old-school. It's pretty old school now! Plus, for me, they've had those stripes since I've been watching football.

[steelerfan]

Yeah, just seems to remove some character from the jersey. Like I said though, it won't take long to get used to.

Wait, so the blandest uniforms in college football just got worse??? Will the stripe be a third jersey now? Come on PSU... it's okay to show a little creativity...

Greg McElroy scored a 48 out of 50 on his Wonderlic test. thats pretty damn impressive.

Unfortunately, the article is right in that there can be an issue with being too smart (though it's reasoning is dumb as shit; the real reason is because no one with a Wonderlic score higher than 35 or 40 has ever been a good QB in the NFL).

[JBHuskers]

Like Darren Rovell said....spice up the combine by televising the Wonderlic

[morsdraconis]

That would be some quality TV.

[JeffHCross]

(the real reason is because no one with a Wonderlic score higher than 35 or 40 has ever been a good QB in the NFL).

Right, but since there have been so few QBs with a Wonderlic score above 40, that's probably not the greatest sample size.
