    NCAA Football 2008-09 Season

    Mack Brown and that staff recruited SE Virginia hard. When he left, VT's staff took over that part of the state and developed a pipeline to Blacksburg from "the 757"

    NCAA Football 2008-09 Season

    SabresRule, that year Carolina riped VT 42-3 in the gator bowl. They had an excellent team. The Bowl Alliance (precursor to BCS) was around back then and they deserved a bid.

    NCAA Football 2008-09 Season

    If you think their QB play is "putrid" you need to reevaluate. Taylor is a super-talented QB. He's been forced/encouraged to run way too much but can do that if necessary. And he is a very good passer. He throws a beautiful, catchable ball, leads receivers over the proper shoulder and has enough...

    NCAA Football 2008-09 Season

    Alabama-Georgia was one of ESPN's "priority" picks. ESPN gets something like the 4th, 7th and 9th overall choices of games prior to the season. CBS picks in the other slots. ESPN claimed the LSU-Auburn game with that 4th overall choice and their next choice was Alabama-Georgia. Starting...

    Most awful officiating calls you can recall

    Right. I never implied they weren't. I was just saying that you know the bozos in the Big East offices wanted WVU to win the game as they would have gone to the BCS Championship game, validating that ridiculous conference.

    Most awful officiating calls you can recall

    Last season's Pitt @ WVU football game. The officials tried with all they had to take game from Pitt and put a Big East team in the BCS Championhip game. Fortunately they could not.

    Signs that there will not be a SEC Network?

    Very interesting article. Am I interpreting it correctly when I read "with ESPNU and ESPN360 also getting rights that were previously reserved for syndication partners." Is that a reference to Raycom's games or more along the lines of the local broadcast that appear on GamePlan?

    Anyone catch that wacky ending in the Arena Football League game?

    I was watching. A crazy play, for sure. What I didn't understand was why no time was put back on the clock. There shoudl have been over one second remaining. maybe that's not reviewable in AFL. I have no idea.

    SEC in good position for TV as new deals loom

    I also don't see a SEC channel happening. Not so long as they have so many others vying for their packages.

    What happened to the site with great info?

    D* will have to do something spectacular to keep me as a customer in a couple of years. Once MPEG-4 is the standard and my HR10-250 doesn't get programming I want I will look around. I care more about Tivo than my content provider. If FIOS comes to the house (it's in the area) AND they partner...
