NCAA Football '12-13

[grumbler]

Notre Dame's commitment to higher academic standards since the days of Holtz is commendable for the institution, but it does hurt their ability to recruit against the football factories. 
The only thing I see that would attempt to mitigate that is to join a conference.  I want to see them in the Big Ten.  They'd be perfect there.

Notre Dame doesn't have academic standards for football players more strict than the usual.  They do, however, have a more difficult time graduating the less-brilliant players, like any good school does (and, given the new NCAA requirements for graduation rates, they have to be more academically selective than, say, an Alabama or Oklahoma).  Joining the Big Ten wouldn't alleviate their academic issues, but it would put them in company with a bunch of other schools in the same boat.

I just think the competition in a Big Ten schedule would improve their ability to recruit within such a conference, despite their current "But you'll be on NBC every week against Wake Forest!" hook. 

But their schedule this year is horrific enough as it is.

[Berkut]

True, there is no way they can possibly compete with those lofty standards. Much like Stanford, they have no chance to play at a high level.

Or Duke. Or Michigan.

I can't remember if this is the sixth or seventh Iowa RB that AIRBHG has taken out this offseason.  Iowa has 2 running backs on scholarship and two walk-ons left.

They can do like Georgia does and sub in corners.

It is time for Ed 'The greek' Anger's Ohio State predictions!

Don't expect rock solid analysis. Or proper formatting. Or bet on these predictions.

Sat. Sept. 1    MIAMI, Ohio    Opening game. Win, but not by a whole lot. I expect a typical Ohio State week 1
Sat. Sept. 8    CENTRAL FLORIDA    WHO THE FUCK? Oh, I don't know, win
Sat. Sept. 15    CALIFORNIA    Ah, a pac-12 team. Loss this year, and beats Cal next year in Cali
Sat. Sept. 22    UAB    Columbus    Another WHA FUCK? Win
Sat. Sept. 29    at Michigan State    Loss. Charliebear gets fisted by Sav
Sat. Oct. 6    NEBRASKA    Win. Revenge game for last year.
Sat. Oct. 13    at Indiana      Win. I have no confidence in the Hoosiers. At least they have a nice half filled stadium I can visit
Sat. Oct. 20    PURDUE    In Columbus? Win. At Purdue it would be a loss.
Sat. Oct. 27    at Pedo State    For the love of god, win. McGlovin gets raped in the showers by an escaping Sanduski
Sat. Nov. 3    ILLINOIS    No fucking idea. Oh, win         
Sat. Nov. 10    Bye Week                   
Sat. Nov. 17    at Wisconsin    Loss. Thick neck wants revenge
Sat. Nov. 24    MICHIGAN       At Columbus against a Michigan team that is looking towards the Rose Bowl? I BETTER SEE A WIN URBAN.

9-3 if I am counting correctly.

If they join the Big 12 they can keep all their special crap.  Plus they can join with Oklahoma and Texas and feel superior to the rest of their conference mates.

Oh, I think Michigan can get it up for TOSU.

They are reshowing the Game of the Century on the B10 network. I've got a Brutus Boner.

I am glad watching Texas beat USC pleases you so much

Redskins suck.

[Ed Anger]

Vince young sucks.

[PDH]

He is in that wonderful time of all Redskins fans, that best time of the year.  The time before the season starts and the curse of Dan Snyder takes over making the regular season into a horrible time.

Indeed.  In August sometimes you start to think even second place is possible.
