He also opens up his glove side quite a bit, which causes similar problems.

Just being reported that the Big Ten's in conversation with Maryland and Rutgers to join as their 13th and 14th members.

I've been saying that Maryland would be a good fit for a while now, but still think that Rutgers adds nothing other than a blind wish by the Big Ten to expand into the NYC market, and for obvious reasons that ain't going to do anything.

Looking east, I wish that the Big Ten had made a move on Maryland and Syracuse and then had picked up Mizzou and tried to grab Oklahoma out west (in the hope that they could be parted from Oklahoma State). That would've been my ideal 16-team Big Ten.

Regardless, hope we don't waste time on Notre Dame.

Oklahoma can't be parted from Texas. That's your problem with them.

ND is already a partial ACC member.

Maryland? **** that. Nothing more than a money grab to get BTN into DC and Balto.

[Cullksinikers]

This is dumb.

Can't wait for the Nebraska/Rutgers B1G (terrible nickname) matchup.

MD has a good basketball program. Especially if Alex Len stays. Ok, he's not staying.

I don't care how good they are, they aren't in the Midwest, let alone the north.

None of this is geographical anymore.

Jayhawks/Wildcats ,, Meh Never cared for Kansas sports anyway especially there NCAA teams easy mistake

[Blackhawkswincup]

Baylor 52
Kansas State 24

Still in 3rd qtr.

Notre Dame is gonna be ranked #1

[RayP]

Oregon loses!!!!!

[Blackhawkswincup]

#1 Kansas State loses to Baylor 52-24
#2 Oregon loses to Stanford 17-14 (OT)

ND Stands alone undefeated atop the BCS

Alabama likely gonna jump back up to #2

ND vs Alabama Championship game looms as very possible

[No Fun Shogun]

Yup, Notre Dame and Alabama become the new #1 and #2 in the next BCS standings.

Also, can't help but laugh at Ohio State right about now. They'd assuredly be in the top two if not for their sanctions.

[Cullksinikers]

Watch Notre Dame blow it. I'd laugh so hard.

Really isn't an easy mistake, just look at their logo. Clearly not a bird...

As would I.

[IU Hawks fan]

Anyways, this sucks. Another year, another champ from the SEC. Lame...

[Cullksinikers]

I don't hate Notre Dame, but this bandwagoning is terrible. So many girls and tons of guys claiming Notre Dame is perfect and beyond awesome. Hope it all falls apart. I do like 5 and 80, though. Hard not to.

Yeah it's annoying seeing people root for out of state teams they have no connection to.

No, you can do that, but bandwagoning is a no-no.

[IU Hawks fan]

BUT I'M IRISH, MAN!

/all the ****** bags ND fans I know

[Cullksinikers]

If you have always been a ND fan, good for you.

If you are bandwagoning, go away. Forever.
