Sorry, just saw this. They, being the alumni at work and supposedly legions of UNCC fans online, would have preferred the 'C-pick' without the '49ers' with a green helmet, and I think colors inverted on the emblem to give it contracts against the background.

"Upsets are a huge part of what makes college football fun and unpredictable. Here are some predictions of potential upsets in the SEC in 2012. Note: All predicted winners are listed as underdogs by BeyondTheBets.com. 1. Missouri over Georgia -- Sept. 8 (Columbia, Mo.) Why: Simply put, this is one of the biggest games in school history for Missouri, and it's the host. The Bulldogs won't be playing at full strength either. Not all of the suspensions are confirmed, but LB Alec Ogletree, CB Sanders Commings and S Bacarri Rambo will likely miss this game due to offseason discipline issues. A depleted secondary will be a welcomed sight for Missouri QB James Franklin and his talented WRs. 2. Vanderbilt over South Carolina -- Aug. 30 (Nashville, Tenn.) Why: This is the Commodores' chance to show they can be a factor in the SEC after showing progress in 2011 under coach James Franklin. They get to show what they've got in this SEC opener, under the lights and on national television. They held South Carolina RB Marcus Lattimore in check last season but couldn't get much offense going in a 21-3 loss. Expect a close game, or even an upset, in this conference opener. 3. Arkansas over LSU -- Nov. 23 (Fayetteville, Ark.) Why: LSU and Alabama are the hurdles this talented Razorbacks team must overcome to win the West. The Razorbacks' two losses in 2011 came to those two teams -- by a combined 48 points. It wouldn't be stunning to see them knock at least one of them off this year since both travel to Arkansas. The Razorbacks might need their best game of the year to pull this off, but they have the offensive talent to do it if the defense can keep them in the game. 4. Tennessee over Alabama -- Oct. 20 (Knoxville, Tenn.) Why: Yes, this is a stretch. The Vols have struggled against Alabama in recent years, with the Tide winning every game in the Nick Saban era. But Tennessee has a scary amount of potential at QB and WR. Alabama's secondary is good, but not 2011 good. This series also has a way of taking strange twists. A mediocre Tennessee team almost derailed the Tide's championship run in 2009, but had a potential game-winning FG blocked as time expired. 5. Texas A&M over Florida -- Sept. 8 (College Station, Texas) Why: Much of the same reasoning for the Missouri vs. Georgia game also applies here. The Aggies simply have more to play for than the Gators. The crowd will be raucous and Texas A&M will be looking to prove they belong in the SEC as they open with this traditional power. Both teams will be breaking in a relatively new QB, but that advantage goes to the Aggies because it's always easier to run an offense in your own stadium as opposed to on the road."

" Top 25 Preview: No. 25 - Notre Dame ESPN's College Football Top 25 Preview: No. 25 - Notre Dame Fighting IrishTags: Top 25 Preview NEXT VIDEO video Notre Dame OL coach Harry Hiestand I once loved Notre Dame football. My dad went to Notre Dame and flunked out and I still loved Notre Dame football. I loved Lindsey Nelson telling me "neither team advanced the ball so we move to further action in the fourth quarter" while my mom was yelling, "Get ready for mass!" But I grew up. I don't love Notre Dame football anymore. Notre Dame football has been living a lie, as Lou Holtz likes to say. Outlined against a blue-gray October sky, nothing happened. The echoes are in REM sleep. It has failed to advance the ball. If I told you about a team that had lost 10 of its last 12 bowl games, had dropped nine of its last 10 to USC, had led the nation only in disappointment, you'd figure that team would be halfway down the Mountain West standings. But Notre Dame still gets perks and love from the NCAA and BCS as though the year is 1946. [+] EnlargeBrian Kelly AP Photo/Joe RaymondBrian Kelly confers with one of his QB candidates, Everett Golson. I'm declaring an end to all that. In Europe, if you play too much bad soccer for too many years, you get "relegated" to a lower division, moved down, demoted. It just happened to the Blackburn Rovers. It needs to happen to Notre Dame football. If Notre Dame isn't a factor this season -- and it hasn't been a factor in almost 20 years -- it's time to take it down a literal peg. We can't demote Notre Dame from its conference -- since it is far too noble to belong to any piddling conference -- but we can demote it in stature. From now on: • Notre Dame no longer gets its own television deal with NBC. • Notre Dame no longer gets to be the only school in the country with an inexplicable seat at the BCS decisions-making table. • Notre Dame no longer gets its yearly undeserved hellahype in preseason rankings and preseason All-America teams. In short, until Notre Dame football starts winning again, it's Rice to me. That hurts your feelings? Watch "Rudy" 'til you feel better. Can you explain to me how a team that hasn't won a national championship since 1988, a Heisman since 1987, or more than eight games its last five seasons still gets treated like the 1967 Green Bay Packers? Notre Dame has won 86 games since the turn of this century. Oregon has won 111 games since then. TCU has won 119. Boise State has won 136. Do they have their own TV deals? Do they get to be the only school that sits with the BCS conference commissioners, deciding how a playoff is going to work? Somebody needs to stick a pin in the still-inflated Golden Dome. Look, the ACC wants Notre Dame. Would die to have it. But word is, Notre Dame won't go if it has to share TV and gate revenue with the rest of the conference, like everybody else. The Irish people love to share. The Irish athletic department? Not so much. If college football won't put its foot down and force Notre Dame to join a conference -- as every other sport at Notre Dame has -- then the least it can do is stop paying it a bowl bonus of $1.3 million when it DOESN'T go to a bowl game. That's right: Notre Dame gets a $1.3 million bowl bonus simply for dressing up the stupid leprechaun. I hear what the Domers are saying. They're saying, "Notre Dame doesn't have to be in a conference. Notre Dame is unlike any other football power. Notre Dame is a national brand." Sure, and girls are still wearing leg warmers. Notre Dame is not a national brand any more than USC, Alabama or Stanford. A national brand? What would its slogan be, "Dominating Navy just about every year"? What kind of national brand loses to freaking Tulsa (2010)? SN: State of Notre Dame SportsNation Notre Dame hasn't won a national title in more than 20 years. Are the Irish still an elite program? Vote! Please, NCAA and BCS, stop leaping to attention every time caller ID says it's Notre Dame. The Irish haven't finished in the top 20 in any poll in five years. They can leave a message. When did I quit on Notre Dame? When it quit on itself. Last season, against USC, the Irish were trailing by only two touchdowns, 31-17, with about seven minutes left when USC got the ball. But Notre Dame didn't use any of its timeouts, and it had a hatful of them. It let USC waste as much time as it wanted and never got the ball back. Good job. Good effort. "They did give up," USC quarterback Matt Barkley told ESPN 710 radio in L.A. "I wouldn't have wanted to be on that sideline." You are not royalty anymore, Notre Dame. Turn in your tiara. When your NBC contract expires in 2015, do the right thing and don't renew. Lower some expectations until you can turn this thing around. And you're a Mars Rover trip from turning it around. Wait, what? Coach Brian Kelly is the savior? Really? Because he looks to me like he's doing a very good impression of Bob Davie so far. He's opened with back-to-back 8-5 seasons. Wow. Give him a sitting ovation. And with Kelly throwing the QB job up for grabs again, instead of just handing it to Tommy Rees once his one-game suspension is up, this season looks like 7-5 to me, with Ls to Michigan State, Michigan, Oklahoma, Pittsburgh and you don't even want to know what USC will do to the Irish in the Coliseum. Cue the DentDoctor.com Bowl. Somebody needs to make Notre Dame play by the same rules as everybody else. If there's anything we've learned from the Penn State mess, it's that nobody gets to live on a pedestal anymore. You flunked, Notre Dame. Go back a grade."

and yes, I know Tennessee has been down... just like Alabama was between Stallings and Saban, and they are back to a top program... you have to have long term perspective for something filled with tradition like college football, plus it helps my argument in this case.

Speaking of Maryland

Quote :

"Quarterback Danny O'Brien will start Wisconsin's season opener against Northern Iowa, Badgers coach Bret Bielema announced Sunday night via Twitter. In June, O'Brien transferred to Wisconsin from Maryland, where he made 17 starts the past two seasons and passed for 4,086 yards with 29 touchdowns and 18 interceptions. He graduated from Maryland in May and became eligible immediately at Wisconsin. O'Brien beat out senior Curt Phillips and redshirt freshman Joel Stave for the starting job. "Both Curt and Joel had great camps as well, we are very fortunate that we have 3 QB's that can play winning football for us," Bielema tweeted. This will be the second consecutive year Wisconsin will start a graduate transfer at quarterback. Russell Wilson came to the Badgers from NC State and earned first-team All-Big Ten honors in 2011."

That doesn't sound objective at all. It sounds pretty biased. Like looking at the situation through orange-colored glasses.

8/20/2012 11:34:26 AM

No, subjective would be all one way or the other: Tennessee is awesome or Tennessee is a shit program. The objective view is recognizing that they are a great program that has sucked ass lately, which has happened to Bama, FSU, LSU, Florida, Penn State (before pedo), etc.

And I never said that anyone should be objective in their fandom, that's stupid. Just should be objective in their analysis and conclusions. For example, I don't like Alabama, and I love Tennessee. However I admit that Bama has been better than Tennessee since Saban came around. I still cheer for Tennessee, but for me to say "Bama sucks" is just stupid.

hey yet another dumb fuck pussy talking shit without a picture in their profile... I never said that, in fact, I said the opposite of that, I said that Tennessee is "still second best program in the history of the SEC." which obviously means Bama is number 1.

But they havent been better than UT every single season that they have both been in the SEC. Which is my point, that even great programs, like Bama, go through down times and up times, such as from the mid 90s until the mid 2000s when UT won 7 in a row, and 9 out of 10. UT was peaking, Bama was fading...

That quote makes it sound like UT was better than Bama until Saban got there. UT had a stretch where they were better than Bama, but historically it is not even close. UT has a great football history, but you throwing UT up there with Bama is lame.

8/21/2012 2:39:35 PM

^^ I'm one of the few in here that isn't a baby
