Now tOSU needs to go down.

They have got to put some sort of rule in place to keep this from happening. It is completely ridiculous that in any sport with a championship that any team can finish a season undefeated and not be the champions!

1/1/2011 8:09:25 PM

Mark Cuban is working on it

1/1/2011 8:11:12 PM

USC was the #2 team in 2004 and were somehow snubbed a shot at the NC in favor of Oklahoma, who just finished losing the Big12 Championship game. They then went on to win the Rose Bowl and finish 12-1 and were considered co-champs finishing #1 in the AP poll.

TCU is undefeated this year and just won the Rose Bowl, but will not get the same co-champion label. The BCS is a joke

Fuck Stoops

1/1/2011 8:39:00 PM

Ok I've watched 10 minutes of outdoor hockey. Time for some more football. Even if it's UCONN in a BCS game.

1/1/2011 8:39:42 PM

"TCU finishes the season undefeated marking the 8th time in the BCS Era that a team finished the season undefeated and did not win a National Championship. Only 1 of the previous 8 times has the team who finished undefeated been a team from an AQ-conference, and that was Auburn in 2004. With TCU's victory Non-AQ schools are now 4-1 all-time in BCS Bowl games when facing AQ schools."

1/1/2011 9:15:20 PM

gg TCU. they outplayed Wisconsin today and deserved to win.

1/1/2011 9:26:21 PM

UCONN with the pick 6. maybe this game can get good.

1/1/2011 9:31:53 PM

OK doesn't need to let UCONN hang around in this game. They need to come out in the 3rd quarter and try to put this game away.

1/1/2011 10:09:29 PM

I hate ESPN for getting the rights to everything. Now instead of the organized chaos of New Years Day, we get one pointless game after the other (so they can make sure they get the ratings and $$$) and a week later, when everyone's started paying more attention to the NFL, you get the National Championship game.

I want the BCS to die and Fox to get the rights to the playoffs out of spite.

1/1/2011 10:19:48 PM

^lol wut?

the schedule is really not that much different this year than the last four with fox.

1/1/2011 10:22:12 PM

by the grace of God, and the balance of nature, Mark Cuban will succeed!

1/1/2011 10:42:33 PM

that might just do it for the Huskies

1/1/2011 10:45:12 PM

There we go. That's what I was talking about.



Oops. Spoke too soon. Uconn still has some fight.

I guess a good investment for rich white people these days is to adopt a poor black kid and get him into the NFL.

1/1/2011 11:09:34 PM

lolz.

1/1/2011 11:15:51 PM

special teams is killing OK

this is a huge drive for UConn, score 7 and put a shitton of pressure on the sooners

[Edited on January 1, 2011 at 11:17 PM. Reason : .]

OK is doing their best shut the bed imitation.

1/1/2011 11:18:31 PM

oh shit.

not sure OK was really fooling anybody on that one

1/1/2011 11:28:41 PM

Sweet Jesus.

Big Ten 0-5 today. What is this world coming to?

Last year was such an upward step, and then....

Quote :

" Longtime ESPN announcer Ron Franklin was pulled off ESPN’s Saturday Fiesta Bowl radio broadcast by ESPN executives after an incident involving the veteran broadcaster and ESPN-TV sideline reporter Jeannine Edwards. Scheduled to work on the ESPN-TV broadcast of the Chick-fil-A Bowl Friday, Franklin and Edwards were part of a production meeting before the game that was also attended by ESPN announcers Ed Cunningham and Rod Gilmore. During the meeting, the subject of Gilmore’s wife Marie being elected Alameda (CA) mayor came up. As Gilmore, Cunningham and Franklin discussed the subject, Edwards tried to join the conversation. When she did, Franklin said to her, “Why don’t you leave this to the boys, sweetcakes.” Edwards responded to Franklin by saying, “don’t call me sweetcakes, I don’t like being talked to like that.” Franklin then said, “okay then, asshole.” After the meeting Edwards reported Franklin’s comments to ESPN management. Once ESPN college football coordinating producer Ed Placey confirmed Franklin’s comments to Edwards with Cunningham, ESPN executives made an attempt to pull Franklin off the Chick-fil-A Bowl broadcast the same day. Because of late notice, no replacement for Franklin was found and the longtime play-by-play announcer called the game - without incident - with Cunningham and Edwards. With Edwards and Franklin scheduled to work together the next night in Arizona, top ESPN programming executives - including Norby Williamson and Mark Gross - were involved in the decision to pull Franklin off the Fiesta Bowl radio broadcast. When contacted, an ESPN representative could not comment on Franklin’s current status with the company. Franklin signed a two-year contract with ESPN last July, with the deal calling for him to work 35 events for the network per year. For college basketball this season, Franklin is scheduled to call Wednesday and Saturday Big 12 regular telecasts."

If they were all girls and talking about something and he jumped in and they said leave this to the girls "insert male adjective here" I'm sure this would have resulted in her being pulled...

So, any word yet? I'm guessing this will work just like Netflix, where you log into your account, get an access code, put it on the Xbox and voila, Xbox access.

1/3/2011 8:20:00 PM

Wow, pretty poor attendance.

1/3/2011 8:29:36 PM

Would this bowl be sold out if it was a playoff game?
