Big East. It was just before Miami started assembling an unfathomable amount of talent (tail end of the Butch Davis years), Syracuse was still very solid, Va Tech started getting ranked on a regular basis, Pitt, BC and WVU were pretty good while Rutgers and Temple had difficulty with 1AA (now...

This isn't a completely new idea, just a variation of a proposal Mike Tranghese (then commissioner of the Big East) made to John Swofford (then ACC commissioner) and the presidents of a few ACC schools in 2000. He proposed that for football only the two conferences swap out some schools, the...

I googled "What is Canada's version of ESPN?" And got this: I figure this is our best shot.

I don't know if they were undefeated. They were ranked and the win made us bowl eligible (after a multi-year stretch where we won very few games, most of which were against FCS schools. I enjoyed it so much that I ended up on the field (something I swore decades earlier that I would never do)...

I may be wrong as it was many years ago; while it was our home opener, IIRC, the Indiana game was a couple weeks into the season. That BC game was missed opportunity and it could have been a launching point for an even better season in 2003 and possibly a bowl game (we had no tie-ins so we're...

Navy and Maryland are further south and Delaware is basically the same latitude. Mid-Atlantic is not the northeast and anyone who is native to either Maryland or Delaware does not consider their location northeast.

As Pittsburgh is basically as far west as Morgantown (Morgantown's westernmost point is slightly east of Pittsburgh's westernmost point), why was WVU excluded?

I'm not sure if it would be bigger than any of a few wins that we've had since Mora took over. I do believe however it would coast a pall from Dawson City to Charlottetown if we do end up winning.

What does this have to do with the Brady/Bellichick debate? Please remain on topic.

I think we're cooked for the season. Our schedule will get us in as a wildcard but we aren't built to win tight games against teams with enough talent to advance in the playoffs. Our offense is worthless if we aren't hitting home runs and far too often our defense looks like we pulled a few...

I can't remember an instance where from one half inning to the next the strike zone changed as significantly as it did last night from the bottom of the eight to the top of the ninth.

I imagine that there will be far more ands than ors.

I know Nebraska has basically fallen off a cliff from where they used to be but they stll aren't close to Rutgers' level of ineptitude.

A large part of that loss falls on Stanton's outfield play.

You should have spent more time looking to your left and right. There were few empty seats on the press box side (I sit in 241 so I saw what you did). The sun side was well above half full for different stretches, but likely to get out of the sun, it thinned out at different times. There...
