Quoteps  Fans and families will be unable to travel to four bowl consecutive bowl/playoff games making it difficult to sell out bowl/playoffs and less regional revenue (hotels, restaraunts, etc) unless you play the games in some flexible mid-regional location (between the two teams) or home playoff games (no bowls).

lol, right. I am sure the fans will just have to sit those playoff games out b/c of money. That sounds like some answer given by some manger some where, wanting to sound like his real concern is "the fans and families".

Whatever.

(how about someone else chime in here? I am sure Johnny here is about sick of my dumb ass by now... ;))

No, I was mostly thinking about myself and my family. I wish I had a lot of money to jet set around the country to support my team. But most of the time, I can't afford to go to one bowl game.

Why would I be defending big money interests?

I'll give it a rest. I don't think too many other people will be reading this until next Saturday anyways.

I haven't read this entire thread, has this been discussed/argued before?

QuoteI don't think we'll get rid of Shula. I really hope we don't. I do, however, think that he needs to give up play-calling to someone else.
I think he's done a good job with the recruiting. It's a re-building year for us because we lost so much of our defense last year. But we have some young'uns that are starting to step up and make themselves known. I like seeing that.
I really think Shula's big problem is the play-calling. On 9 plays from scrimmage, Darby had all of 7 yards up the middle. Johns consistently gained yards on the plays that he ran. Think something needed to be changed there?

My thoughts exactly!

Alabama beat some highschool team 30+ to 3, this weekend. That's the end of our easy wins, this season...

Now onto the REALLY easy wins.

I agree with you tracy, but I like the idea of a +1 playoff.  Taking the four BCS bowls and the winners playing each other for the national title.  Also agree that it is all about money.  As soon as presidents of universities and sponsors can find a way to make money it will be done and will be the greatest spectacle in sports.

Yeah I know! The score does not even reflect how badly the Tigers beat themselves. At least the University itself won my Son over and he will most probably be attending next fall. It has been fun however driving around with a tiger tail sticking out of the back of my truck with Truman the tiger (mascot) perched on my dashboard.  :)

Allright! Good choice TEO!

damn computers!   I even sent it from beautiful historic downtown St. Charles (Country Inn and Suites on south main). It would have been better had I carried it to your home on foot.  :) Anyhow, I just wanted you to know we had a great time and thank you for your suggestion on the Flatbranch Brewpub.  TEO

Holy crap you could have crumpled it up and thrown it to me from there!   Glad you had a good time!

Wow if they make it to the national championship with Ohio State that would be a dream come true.  Too bad they both can't win, but then again they both have to get there first.
