The Rest of College Football

[iam416]

Heh. There's probably more than a little bit of truth to the belief that the OSU BoT had a pretty good idea about UFM when they forced Tressel out.

But you're mistaken if you give any credit to Smith and Gee. Smith is on his way out. Gee, while generally considered (for reasons that are outside my area of knowledge) a very good president, sucks ass when it comes to athletics.

I need to post something else from that chat ... it's OSU-related, so I'll post on other thread.

[Jeff Buchanan]

Yep .... substitute BoT for smith and gee. Brilliantly played by that group.

The shit that should still be a stinking, steaming pile is now skelepoo not worth a second glance or a shovel.

[iam416]

I'm sure they would rather Rife never been investigated by the FBI. Coach Tressel would still be there. The team would have been gads better.

As a Plan B, UFM is about as blind-ass lucky as you can get.

“As an aside, the OU-OSU game was down from 5.3 from the OU-Nebraska game for the Big 12 title last year, and the SEC game was up from 6.4 for Auburn-South Carolina last season.”

[Jamie H]

What the hell is ISU Grand Prix figure skating? It is open-wheeled cars on ice at Iowa State or something???

Pretty good numbers for the Big Ten title game, seeing as it had almost no national significance.

[Mike]

And was head-to-head with the ACC title game at the same time.

[Jamie H]

Probably helps that that game was a blow-out.

[Mike]

Although, it was 10-10 at the half. I caught the replay the other night and Clemson scored 3 TDs in the first 7 minutes of the 3rd quarter and it was over.

[Jamie H]

Dunno how they do ratings. Is that an average over the whole game or a peak number during the game?

[Mike]

Not sure. Probably average.
