Looking back at this year, was there really any awesome weekend of college football? Not just winning but awesome games all week?

12/11/2010 2:22:18 PM

Who's pumped for Army-Navy??

No one?

Ok.

12/11/2010 2:37:17 PM

Well Army really screwed that up right before the half.

12/11/2010 4:34:28 PM

^stadium was jumping. now it's dead.

12/11/2010 4:38:35 PM

GO ARMY!! BEAT NAVY!

12/11/2010 4:38:50 PM

some bitter oklahoma fans are having fun with bob stoops' wiki page

12/11/2010 5:25:49 PM

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

FUCK YOU ARMY

NINE IN A ROW

3294 DAYS SINCE AN ARMY WIN AND COUNTING

12/11/2010 6:10:29 PM

For anyone whos ever wondered what Carter-Finley might look like with red turf, check out North Dakota State and Eastern Washington on MASN.

12/11/2010 6:21:17 PM

the red turf is terrible

Don't say that! I had relatives serve in the army during WWI and WWII. Other relatives and friends of mine are army veterans too. Multiple annoying guys that I used to work with and my sisters ex-husband all served in the navy.

12/13/2010 12:33:26 PM

why are they keeping the big ten name?

why is big spelled with a 1?

also, the new divsion names are pretty embarrassing

leaders and legends? ugh

12/13/2010 1:29:42 PM

probably the same reason they kept the big 10 name eventhough they had 11 teams

12/13/2010 1:40:05 PM

i was trying to convince myself that the G was some weird shaped 2, so that it would say Big Ten but have a 12 hiding in there. why else did they randomly decide to throw a 1 in the middle?

edit: upon further reading, the G is actually supposed to be a 0 for B10...ah, makes perfect sense

[Edited on December 13, 2010 at 1:46 PM. Reason : yeah]

12/13/2010 1:42:12 PM

Any divisions not based on geography are an instant fail.

Most college fans probably couldn't tell you who's in the ACC Atlantic.

In 5 years, most college fans probably won't be able to tell you who's in the Big 10 Leaders.

12/13/2010 1:51:25 PM

the big 10 now has some lame ass named divisions, but the the NHL can't have the Patrick, Norris, etc.


what a fucking crime

12/13/2010 1:56:08 PM

^^ he has never stated a more truer statement (aside from calling his mother a whore)... I couldnt tell you today who is in the Atlantic and who is in the Coastal or whatever the fuck they are called. Leaders and Legends sounds like some fucking church league basketball team name bullshit

12/13/2010 2:41:57 PM

Would have been better off with Dumb and Dumber

12/13/2010 3:40:19 PM

If Clemson and FSU switched with Virginia Tech and Virginia then you'd have it North and South anyway. But I would rather play FSU and Clemson on an anual basis than the commonwealth teams...it just seems more exciting.

BC
Maryland
Virginia
Virginia Tech
NCSU
Wake
--------------
UNC
Duke
Clemson
Georgia Tech
FSU
Miami

12/13/2010 4:39:52 PM

wow. those division names are a fucking travesty. there are WNBA team names that don't sound quite as bitch-made as "leaders" and "legends"

congrats, you won the legends division, enjoy the glory hole.

Pretty lame if you call yourself an NC State fan. I would expect this from a Tar Hole fan.

12/13/2010 5:09:52 PM

I am a State fan, but not so much an ACC fan... I know what teams are in their division which is all that is important but I dont pay attention to the stupid ass interchangeable names

12/13/2010 5:11:54 PM

the B10 Ten also has a slew of new yearly awards:
http://www.bigten.org/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/121310aaa.html

My favorite: the Griese-Brees Award for QB of the year
sounds like it should be sponsored by Taco Bell

12/13/2010 10:10:57 PM

^^ so you know what teams are in State's division, but you didn't know we were in the Atlantic division?

12/13/2010 10:19:03 PM

yes, because knowing the teams is important, knowing a horrible division name that is basically interchangeable with the other division name in common use isn't.

12/14/2010 1:59:23 AM

Remembering two different names that you see every time you look at conference standings and read articles about games and potential ACC match-ups was pretty tough. And it's not like we've had years of it to familiarize ourselves with the two names either.

[Edited on December 14, 2010 at 7:40 AM. Reason : I think you should say interchangeable again to be clear]

dunno why ESPN is just now reporting that, I saw that somewhere like a week or two ago...

12/14/2010 12:14:25 PM

should have a Spencers Gifts bowl, i bet the goodie bags would be interesting

That is just plain LOL horrible. Yeah they wanted to honor each player, then atleast call it the Bob Griese - Drew Brees Award so it does not sound so retarded.

12/14/2010 12:52:19 PM

Haha. That does sound horrible when you say it. Hard to believe that Drew Brees was one of the 2 best QB's in the history of the Big 10.

They also have an award named for Antwan Randel-El.

So much fail in the Big 10.

Really?? He tore it the fuck up at Purdue. And the Big 10 has had some great quarterbacks, but none of them threw the ball as much as Brees did at Purdue. A lot had to the do with the system, but they also put the system in because of him.

Orton was pretty nasty at Purdue as well.

Holy shit we're awesome. We should secede from the NCAA and start the Big 10 Athletic Association.

"Brees is at the top of the Big Ten record book in numerous categories, including passing yards, completions, and attempts. He passed for at least 300 yards 16 times during his career, including two 500-yard performances."

Meh, shows what I know about Big 10 football.

12/14/2010 2:18:38 PM

But he didn't win anything

Hardly a Legend or a Leader




What would the ACC equivalent be called?

Rivers-Ryan? Wienke-Ward? Curry-Yates?

Not his fault he played at Purdue. They don't win anything in any sport.

12/14/2010 2:26:25 PM

I'd have to go Wienke-Ward over Rivers-Ryan all day

12/14/2010 2:30:53 PM

But it kinda is his fault he played at Purdue. They didn't draft him. He signed there, and I'm sure he had dozens of other suitors.



Point is, he was a great college quarterback, but like Rivers, his lack of team success prevents him from being mentioned with the best of the best.

Yeah...but it looks like he had shitty suitors. He was from Texas, and Texas A&M even passed on him...as did fucking Washington State. When the Big 10 comes calling, you accept an offer.

Quote :

"WSU can take heart. It wasn't the only school to pass on Brees. He led Austin's Westlake High to a 16-0 record and 5A state championship, and was 28-0-1 as a two-year starter. Impressive credentials, but he didn't fit the quarterback prototype most schools were looking for. Texas A&M, his parents' alma mater, and Texas both checked him out and backed off. Brees strongly considered Kentucky and North Carolina, basketball schools, before Tiller took over at Purdue and came looking for an able quarterback, not necessarily a body."

He was about the only thing they had at Purdue. Pretty much like Rivers at State. However, Rivers is talked about as one of the best ever in the ACC...and he didn't win shit except for a couple of random bowls. NCAA wise, probably not. But we're talking conferences here.
