NCAA Football '11-'12

Ohio State vacated its victories last year.

It is an admirable attempt to keep the NCAA at bay.

And Gee and Gene Smith to keep their jobs.

For the moment.   Smith will be forced out before long, I think.  Gee not so much - he's removed from the action.

UT-Arlington is going to the WAC (or at least they've been invited).   They need two more football schools to make it 9/12.  If they take one more Texas or Louisiana school and one from somewhere up north or on the west coast, they'd have really easily defined divisions.  They can call one the Southland Division. 

Where is Lamar?  Houston area?  I wonder if they'd go after them just for the location.  SHSU is also over there (Huntsville). 

Edit: You know...even with all the poaching 1AA schools the WAC is doing, I wonder if they're fucked anyway.  I'm...90% sure I've read somewhere that UTSA's ultimate goal is C-USA, and they really would fit in there.  Texas State isn't fucking around with the transition either, with their new stadium improvements and all that, so I wouldn't be surprised if they had similar goals.  If both of those bolted, what would the WAC do?  There don't seem to be all that many out there that are really ready to do it (I don't think SHSU and SFA could, and UTA seems like it's a pretty big reach too).

Yep. Beaumont.

[MadBurgerMaker]

Yep. Beaumont.

They'd fit right in then.  The WAC would have schools in San Antonio, San Marcos/as close to Austin as they can get, DFW, and Houston/as close to Houston as they can get.  Hell, Lamar might even be better than UTA.  No one goes to UTA games, or at least they didn't last I heard.   Of course, once the UTSA football novelty wears off and they start playing like a brand new football team (losing badly), attendance is going to suck for them as well.  4300 at the spring game.

Vrabel retired and returns to Ohio State as a LB coach. Hopefully, without the Pats taint.

From: Some stupid cunt

How can anybody like this rough, violent sport? How can any man be capable of TACKLING somebody? How aggressive! My husband and sons would NEVER do that!! They've never been to a football game and neither have I. Plus, it's always associated with alcohol, with the beer commercials! So many guys think they have to drink beer and watch "the big game" to be a man. It drives me nuts. We shouldn't use alcohol, it's a DRUG! Just because it's legal doesn't make it right. But these guys think they HAVE to drink beer to fit in and be social, etc. They're afraid they'll be made fun of if they don't drink booze. It's sad. My husband never drinks alcohol. Neither do I.

The new coaching staff needs pointers on how to cheat.

Oh wait, no they don't.

Wyoming should go to the WAC in 2012 and dominate the fuck out of everyone.  It'll be great.

For someone so smart, you are so naive sometimes.
