Yes, but bowl games are getting rediculous, they are being handed out like candy.
HALF the teams out there go to a bowl game now, actually, just over half
117 Div. 1 teams and 32 games, 64 teams
Making a bowl game now, is just a thank you for the University presidents

Oh yes, I do remember, but when I mentioned about the Buckeyes winning a few years ago (2001-2) I was informed that, that was lightyears ago, by one of the other posters.
Jimbo
well, i just read that rodriguez told alabama.....thanks but no thanks. he's staying at west virginia!!!
That was me and you said they hadn't had a good season since Bear Bryant and I was just showing you that they had.
dont follow football that close nfl or ncaa, but i'll root for the wolfpack anyday over canes
the canes program along with others in the past should have football privileges revoked by their respective schools imho
don't get me started on bcs.
college football once was good but not now imho
highschool and cfl seem the best to me.

What are you talking about? WHY should the Hurricanes program have their football priviledges revoked?
salsa, ar eu like sleeping under a rock? that school has violated so many ncaa rules, it ought to get the dealth penalty!! they recruit thugs.
Please don't believe the hype...they were grounded just after the Dennis Erickson era...and until the last couple of years....they had a VERY clean program, thanks to Butch Davis and Larry Coker. Besides, the 2 teams playing for the national championship have NOT been a virtue of good, clean sportsmanship and ethical play.
For someone that self admittedly does not following college football....your opinion does not hold water....you are going with either what everyone tells you...or your skimming of the sports section. So what about Ohio State after their championship in 2001....they quite a few scandals include the whole Maurice Clarett situation. Here is a few post of a great article about "bad raps" I had posted here not to long ago from a Miami Sports write than does alot of appearance on ESPN:
ECHO CHAMBER
But here's where a stigma gets bothersome if you are a fan of the University of Miami football program: No amount of winning can cure the negative reputation that already has been formed, obviously. Miami's rep has been earned, certainly, but it echoes in a way that makes you wonder how it ever will be changed, echoes so poisonous that national pontificators feel comfortable sharpening their knives and carving up the program even moments after a wailing mother in her son's UM jersey grieves the loss of her just-slain child.
Butch Davis and Larry Coker cleaned up this program, period. ESPN's Kirk Herbstreit, upon meeting Ed Reed, Jonathan Vilma, Andre Johnson and other classy, soft-spoken Hurricanes, has gone around for years telling people that their perception of UM is wrong. The Hurricanes went nearly four years without an arrest -- a staggering stat you will find nowhere in the top 25 -- but four years isn't enough to erase damage already done, evidently. One punch, one crime, one awful incident reaffirms preconceptions, strengthens them. And Coker somehow is viewed as having lost a win-at-all-costs program even in a year when he suspended his two best position players before the FSU game, one for missing a study hall.
How do you push against that? If four years can be erased in a moment? Buckner had 19 good years sabotaged in a flash, so it's part of the contract in sports. And UM fans, who embraced the bad-boy image once, will have to tolerate its repercussions -- that a fight between UM and Florida International resonates in a way that a South Carolina-Clemson brawl can't, that a rap song by the players makes national news in a way that Michigan's doesn't, and that a senseless murder this week becomes another chance to wonder if UM has lost its way.
What does the University of Miami have to do?
hmm. does the um-fiu fiasco mean anything to you? miami's president basically swept the incident under the rug but her counterpart actually threw players off the team.
i'm not saying florida's program doesn't have a few problem children......most major programs do (can anyone say florida state). but since florida has the highest graduation rate of athletes than the other BCS bowl schools......i would say there problems are minimal.
as for kirk herbstreit......mr. i'm so biased for my alma mater......not sure i believe anything that comes out of his mouth!!!!

What about the brawl between Soth Carolina and Clemson? The ONLY reason that didn't make a big of their brawl is because they are NOTHING schools....EVERYONE down here stated that those players that were involved got off easy. But everything is not as black and white as people want it to be....if it were like that....then then same can be said about Ohio State and the Maurice Clarrett situation.....Let me tell you something about ALL major universities...they all cheat/bend the rules/get away with murder in one way or another...the difference between one school and another...is some get caught...and some don't.
PLEASE don't use M. Clarrett 's name in any OSU thread, he was a discrace to the school...even more AFTER he left, he did not want any help and took what was given him , did NOT want an education, thought he was better than others in the NFL, seems like he shopuld have been a good fit seeing they have thier sghare of prima donna's ... He blew it all , he had a great chance given to him by
M. Shanahan, and did not take it, then became worse than any one expected.
Poor spoiled kid that didn't get his way. suprised he didn't go to USC.
Jimbo
okay, i just thought id share
No problem with sharing....but when you make blanket statements...I would hope you are give some decent incite ....
No maybe's Jimbo. The East is MAYBE just ahead of the MAC. To give them equal footing with the BIG TEN is just heresy.
