M-Borg vs. THE Flavortown U Thread, Orig. by Buckeye Paul, absconded w/by talent.

That was my thought too -- it probably wasn't OSU that cancelled.

I would expect Virginia and UNC to ensure they aren't playing B10 teams past 2017. Now that the Maryland lawsuit is settled and there's a defined playbook to avoid losing the money the ACC withheld, schools can proceed with more certainty. I still think Virginia will be in the B10. I do not think that UNC will make the jump, but I do think they will consider it seriously.

Anyway, I was looking forward to the trip to CH. Sort of a bummer.

[Hannibal]

The East would be even more brutal with two middle quality teams added to it and Indiana shifted to the West.

[iam416]

Yes. Though I suspect what you'll eventually see is some sort of "pod" system of 4s.

But, yeah, Indiana would definitely be the team to move. So, Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, Michigan State, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Rutgers.

I still firmly believe that long-term we're inching toward 4 superconferences with with the CCGs acting as the round of 8. What I don't know is whether the B12 or ACC is mostly likely to hit the deck.

Unc has been replaced with UNLV in 2017 and Oregon St in 2018. Overall that's a net loss. Oregon St is about on par competitively but Unlv is crap and the road trip to Chapel Hill would've been a nice one

Guessing Osu had as much to do with canceling as UNC did. Original release it was done due to the "9 game Big10 schedule". We were looking at "only" six home games in 2017 and god knows the schools almost broke

Runnin' with the Rebels...

I think you'd have to go to pods... OR, as i've been saying.. move MSU and then give each time an every year rivalry game from across the division.. Mich/MSU.. OSU/Wisky.. Neb/PSU... that type of thing

Dispatch saying that Braxton hurt his shoulder again today in practice. Season could be in jeopardy. Wow

Appears to have happened right after you changed your avatar. Karma.

[lineygoblue]

We've had the same thing happen to us.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Hoke's a damn jinx is what he is.

[lineygoblue]

Apparently not enough of a jinx.

That 2 point attempt worked out well for you guys..

[Dr. Strangelove]

JT Barrett is in line to be the starter if it's true.

Braxton could theoretically take a redshirt and be back in 2015

[Dr. Strangelove]

Of course...should he risk another year in college? He's not going to be a star in the NFL either way, but if he wants a shot, he may be best off moving on.
