Bye, bye Nebraska and Coalition... Hello Rose Bowl.
Emerson Wilson
What happened Nebraska? I thought you guys were 'playing at a level above
everyone else in the nation' and were simply unstoppable.
Can you say OVERRATED?
I mean you were SHUT OUT by a #17 team from a conference many of you have
referred to as being full of pansies. What's that make you now?
If there is anything evident after tonight's game, it is that Nebraska is not
nearly as unbeatable as many thought. Beating MSU is one thing but beating a
ranked team is another - just ask your friends in Colorado.
Also evident is the fact that the Big-12 is the MOST OVERRATED CONFERENCE IN
COLLEGE FOOTBALL. From Nebraska to Colorado to Texas to Texas A&M, the
conference has lost games against very strong teams like Michigan and Notre
Dame, up and coming teams like Arizona State, and absolutely pathetic teams
like Southwest Louisiana University. Because of this failure, the Big-12 is,
in my opinion, insignificant as far as the national championship is concerned.
I mean, if you can't beat anyone outside of your own conference, you obviously
aren't the best.
Looking to the best, I see the Big Ten, the premier conference in college
football right now, with 3 teams in the top-5. I also see an undefeated ASU
team with the possibility of going undefeated in the Pac-10 and meeting an
undefeated Big-Ten team in the Rose Bowl.
Now, if you guys in the SEC, the ACC, the Big East, and the Big-12 are really
nice, we in the Big Ten and Pac Ten might just let you join our Rose Bowl
alliance and play for the national championship someday...

While the Big Te(leve)n went a dismal 2-4 in bowls this past season, I'm
fairly sure we did quite well the season before that...

Well emerson its good to see you are a good enough man to not gloat like
you hacked on the NU fans for after tOSU's annual michigan choke.
Don't worry, Iowa started the Big 10 choking tonight, by losing to
Tulsa.

This year perhaps. Of course NU is still rated 7th in the coaches poll
after the loss. And with all the teams ranked above them having to play
each other in some combination, who knows? could be chaotic '93 type
think all over again.
>I mean, if you can't beat anyone outside of your own conference, you obviously

I definately see why tOSU should be included. Man Rice and Pitt are just

sheesh.

Doubtful. The Big 10 and Pac 10 teams always seem to find a way to blow
it. Both rose blow teams will not be undefeated before the game.

All sniping aside, this is going to be an interesting year to see who wins
the MNC. With the PSU-tOSU-Mich round robin, at most one team survives
ASU might survive the Pac 10, but I think it will probably be hard for
them to duplicate the emotion they played with, particularly on the road.
UF-FSU are probably headed for a 1 vs 2 collision course, if FSU can
beat North Carolina and Miami, probably the only realistic teams they face
till UF.
After the Domers play tOSU, they'll probably roll as well. The ND-tOSU
game will probably decide if the Rose Bowl has an undefeated Big 10 team--
I think tOSU is the best big 10 team, and will beat Mich and PSU. If
ND wins, the alliance will decide the MNC, business as usual. If tOSU
can finally win a big game, then a '94 type of situation will probably
result--a tOSU vs UF-FSU war. My guess is the pollsters will favor
the UF-FSU cluster, because of the Wuerfel Hiesman talk and the perenial
top 5 finishes by FSU.

Hmm. So, while its way too early to justify any MNC discussions, is
there a consensus that the current favorite matchup for the bowl
coalition
folks is ND vs. the winner of UF-FSU?
How about Miami-UF or ND-Miami. These would be magnificent,
historic contests for renewing old rivalries, even without the national
title ramifications.

We got beat. ASU stuffed our running game and we can't win if we
can't run. Our defense did it's part, but they didn't play well
enough to win the game for us. They needed help from the offense and
special teams. The defense gave up very few points, but what they
needed to do was make ASU go 3 and out to get the ball back to the
offense. They didn't. ASU was able to pass against us. They
protected the QB against our usually monster pass rush. They were
able to RUN against us. Even though they didn't score, they kept the
ball and kept our offense off the field, preventing them from getting
it together.
Notice I didn't say that our defense "mistackled". I'm not talking
about the lenght of cleats the opponents wore. I'm not whining
and complaining about Ann Arbor, I mean Tempe. I'm not saying "our
team could STILL beat your team cause of all our player that are going

I'm really looking forward to your annual loss to Michigan. Will your
defense be mistackling again, or will Orlando Pace "just have a bad
day?" I'd also be tickled pink if an undefeated Penn State wastes the
pac-10 champ (probably ranked somewhere between #6 and #10) and STILL
end up #2 behind the winner of the Sugar Bowl. HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!
Death to the IYB! (Wouldn't it beat all if the irrelavant yawner was
a rematch between Penn State and USC?)
And Big Red isn't OUT of the MNC hunt, we've just fallen to the back
of the pack. Notre Dame will lose to OSU, OSU will lose to Michigan.
Miami will lose to FSU. That leaves Penn State (who hopefully will
lose to OSU, if they play?) and the winner of Florida/FSU as
undefeated. If our team gets its shit together, we can win the rest
of our games and be the highest ranked team with a loss. That would
put us in the Sugar Bowl against FU/FSU (please don't make us play
Bobby Bowden in a bowl game). We won't be able to pass an undefeated
Big-10, champ, though, so GO PAC-10!
Yes, the Huskers 3peating is now a long shot. I'm not holding my

One emotional factor maybe Nebraska fans didn't realize existed: Nebraska
played ASU a year ago, and the final score was 77-28. Nebraska scored 63
points in the first half. ASU's head coach accused Nebraska of running up
the score, and regardless of whether or not they did, the perception
around here has been that they did.
The players you watched stuffing the Nebraska rushing game were the same
ones who were on that team last year. For an entire year, Coach Snyder
didn't let them forget what happened last year. We all know the results of
that strategy.
GO DEVILS!

How 'bout an undefeated Sun Devil - Husker killing squad versus an
undefeated Big Te(leve)n Ohio State, Michigan, or Penn State squad? This
would make for quite an interesting matchup. As I see it, the Sun Devils have
only one BIG hurdle left <Besides their in-state rivalry...> in Southern Cal,
and that game is at -you guessed it- Sun Devil Stadium. I'd imagine those Sun
Devil fans are real wound up right now! ;)

<Snip>
Still insecure over that '94 NC, I see. ;) I wouldn't count out Notre
Dame based upon the Buckeyes blowouts as Ohio State has only played Rice and
Pitt to date. The Buckeyes DO look great, though.
FYI, the Nittany Lions travel to the 'Shoe on October 5, following the
Penn State at Wisconsin and Ohio State at Notre Dame matchups.
On an interesting side note, the Lions won their 699th football game
yesterday. Considering how much trouble the Huskers had this past weekend
attempting to break the mystic 700 win mark, I must admit a bit of concern
about traveling to Camp Randall this coming weekend... ;)

1) It's much easier to be a good sport - like you are trying to be - after you
have won back to back national championships.
2) It's much harder to be a good sport when you hear that the other team wore
extra length cleats in extremely poor conditions while in a very close game.
3) It's - ahhhh, drop it...

The Big-Ten is tough this year.

I don't see Ohio State losing to Michigan this year. Michigan's offense is
not that great, and it's at the horseshoe. I think the toughest game will be
at Notre Dame. PSU at home will be tough, too. But, it should be somewhat
easier than playing in South Bend.

The situation should be cleared up a bit more in 2 weeks after Ohio State has
played ND and PSU.
Let's talk then.

I agree. It is a bit early yet. Things will straighten out after #5ND vs.
#4OSU this weekend and #3PSU vs. #4OSU next weekend.
If: 1) ND beats Ohio State, they will be the favorites to go undefeated and
into the Sugar Bowl, 2) OSU beats ND and loses to PSU, it will set up a HUGE
match-up between Penn State and Michigan, 3) OSU beats ND and PSU, it will set
up a potentially HUGE, HUGE, HUGE match-up between OSU and UM, provided that
UM can beat PSU.
Basically, the Rose Bowl NC game depends a great deal on OSU beating ND this
next weekend.
It is a BIG game not only for the teams and their conferences but also for the
status of the Rose Bowl and the Bowl Coalition.

Ummm, unlike Nebraska from a year ago, Ohio State plays #5 ND next weekend at
South Bend while still in their out of conference schedule.
I do admit that Ohio State has only proved that they can kill pansy football
teams - but then again, who has FSU beaten to be ranked #2 in the nation:
Duke
North Carolina State
Your point was???

I agree with what you said about the ND game.
But, if there is a similar situation to '94, the NC will be split. The
pollsters just don't want another confrontation like that.

No way! ASU's biggest hurdle is Oregon next week.
ASU has a good team, and could very well go undefeated, but at the same
time, a lot of what the team did last night was with heart. It's hard to
get up to back-to-back tough games. Beating Oregon next week will be
harder to do than beating USC down the road if they're still undefeated.
I'm not trying to take anything at all away from ASU. They had to be a
good team to win last night. Now, the mammoth task is making sure the
team stays focused for next week.

No, I'm just looking for a sign you're a real fan. The (apparent) fact
you didn't post when ASU didn't look really good isn't exactly a sign

Newbies who crawl out of the woodwork when their team does well and then

do not exist as fans, correct? You're entitled to that belief. I came here

annoyed the HELL out of me here in the real world (that lady on the news

annoying at all, by the way.
Of course, for those of you (one in particular ;)) who know my sports

Well, I have to say that I understand exactly what you are saying, Steve,
and others. Fairweather fans are the most annoying species of human beings
God cursed us by putting on this earth. Every time I see someone walking
around with a spanking new Dallas Cowboys jersey, for example, it takes
everything I have to not throw up all over the floor. (We won't even talk
about Notre Dame and Michigan)
But as for this situation: what can I say? Do you know how long I've
cheered for ASU? Do you know whether or not I was excited about this game
before I posted here? Of course not. The only thing you do know is that it
hadn't occurred to me to find and post to r.s.f.c. until after the
Nebraska game. Since it seems so important to some people, I'll admit that
it DIDN'T occur to me until I had this sudden urge to vent against
Nebraska fans, and I realized that Usenet would be the perfect place to do
so. Does this mean that before the Nebraska game, I had no interest in ASU
whatsoever, and that I wasn't taunting the many UofA (ASU's rivals, and my
former classmates FYI) fans who were giving ME crap about this game? Not
as far you know, it doesn't.

Sorry bud, but I don't quite agree with your opinion of what a "true fan"
is. A "true fan" is a person who believes in his team whether it's good or
bad. A "true fan" is NOT (as you are saying above) a person who has
Internet access, and posts regularly to some Usenet newsgroup on a regular
basis to let Steve C. or John B. at aol.com or bubba.edu know that he is a
"true fan". I sincerely hope the rest of your life doesn't revolve around
this newsgroup the way you seem to be indicating it does.

They're not giving anything up. This is a public forum. If it makes you
unhappy to see someone from ASU post here directly after the biggest win
they've had this decade, too freakin' bad. You know nothing about me, you
know nothing about my personality, you know nothing about my team loyalty.
I'll post here when I want, cheer for whomever I want to cheer for, and
communicate with whichever sensible and more friendly people there are out
there about college football when I want. And if I get bored and decide
not to post here, I'll do that too. Wow! Imagine that!
Now, I believe this newsgroup was created in order for people to
electronically shoot the breeze about college football, so why don't you
do just that? Personally, I'm looking forward to next week's Oregon game
to see if ASU defeated Nebraska with its skill, or its emotion.

My loyalty to ASU (or my country, or my religion, or my girlfriend, or my
family) doesn't vary according to how many posts I send to a Usenet group.
Sorry I don't fit your bizarre standards of what a "true fan" is (there
are only about 50 or so of them in this entire country, according to your
logic), but if you don't want to hear what I have to say, killfile me.

I suppose so. During our bowl losing streak, Husker fans moaned about

Well, greatly but not entirely.
First off, Notre Dame has to beat Washington the next week and USC at USC
in the finale to be in a national championship game. I think they will,
but its no guarantee.
Secondly, because of the idiotic way in which the order of games affects
pollsters, it is possible that an undefeated Michigan team would be
ranked ahead of an undefeated Notre Dame team.
If both teams stay undefeated, Notre Dame will put distance between
itself and Michigan with wins over OSU and Washington while Michigan
beats USC and Northwestern. But, a Michigan win over an undefeated PSU
team on November 16 (coupled with a Notre Dame win over Pitt) could
narrow the gap. The next week, a Michigan win over twice defeated OSU
(coupled with a Notre Dame win over Rutgers) could push Michigan over the
top. It would be up to Notre Dame to beat USC convincingly enough to
reverse the order yet again.
PSU would have less luck, however, as their last game of the season is
against a lesser opponent (MSU) and would give them little chance of
bounding past Notre Dame.
Two non Big-Ten game very crucial to the chances of the Rose Bowl
featuring a national championship game or contender will be, in my
opinion, Virginia at FSU (10/26) and Florida at FSU (11/30). A split
decision from FSU would be helpful.

I doubt that Trent's (or Dylan's) complaint was that "Neil" is a new
poster. It's that his first post(s) to r.s.f.c.:
1) Came immediately after a huge win for his team.
2) Contained a lot of taunting of Nebraska.
I remember how embarassed I was last year when r.s.f.c. was flooded
by tOSU "fans" after tOSU beat Notre Dame -- people saying things like
"OHIO STATE R00LZ" and "NOTRE LAME SUCKS". It's not that I don't want new
people from Ohio State posting here about our team (by my count, there are
only four tOSU fans posting right now -- I *want* newbies to come in),
it's that if they were real fans, they would be here talking about their
team when times suck as well as when times are good. None of those post-ND
"fans" were anywhere to be seen after we lost to Michigan and Tennessee. I
expect that they'll show up again if we beat Notre Dame Saturday. And I'll
be embarassed all over again (of course, I'm willing to pay that price for
an Ohio State victory :-) ).
As far as there being a "good ol' boy" club in r.s.f.c. -- so what?
One of the newbie netiquette guides (which are posted regularly to
news.announce.newusers and that *everyone* should read before posting for

Michigan's offense has also only played 3 games as a unit.
Dreisbach and Williams are 2nd year. Shaw and Street are 1st year. That's
4 of the 5 most important skill players for Michigan (Tuman is the other,
I don't know what year he is). Despite the low point output against BC,
the team did get 400+ yards. By the end of the year (when they play OSU)
the offense should be much improved over what it is right now.

Now, now, Scott... don't take it personally; I doubt that you were
among the intended targets. Emerson goes a little overboard, and so
once again -- just like those NU fans he despises -- he has asked to
be made a target in the wake of his favorite team's next loss.
("Choose your enemies carefully, for you will become just like them.")
Enmerson's timing is rather risky, for that could happen in five days.
Still, it's hard to be quiet when such "convenient" game results
follow nine months of classlessness exhibited by a few Big XII
noisemakers. I recall some forgettable sap grouping the Big Ten and
Pac-10 into the "sad 21" or some such, and yammering on about how
irrelevant they always were to the national title. I recall a lot of
yapping about how Colorado, "only the second-best Big Twelve team,"
would win the Big Ten (or just about any other conference), easily.
In the wake of such commentary, it is pretty ironic that a Big Ten
team and a Pac-10 team (neither one a preseason favorite to win their
own conference) significantly altered the MNC landscape by beating the
two Big Twelve teams that were supposed to be head-and-shoulders
above everyone else.
Were these game results flukes? Maybe. But I only see a handful of
postings dissing the Big XII so far. Is that really more than the
amount of yapping we'd have seen from _your_ (generic) side of the
fence if the Big Twelve _hadn't_ fallen on their collective faces in
such spectacular fashion? (Judging by offseason traffic, I doubt it.)

No doubt, Ohio State has yet to prove themselves... but I think we'll
have a good calibration in two weeks (against consecutive top five
opponents).
BTW, you "conveniently" neglected to mention Ohio State's final non-
conference opponent -- Notre Dame. Can you name a Big Twelve team that
has a top five non-conf opponent this year? Do you remember the last
year when Nebraska had one? Even though this schedule is light by OSU's
standards, the sad thing is that it's still better than at least four
of the six upper-echelon Big XII teams' non-conference slates.

Yes, but I think pollsters like FSU because of their ability to generally
deliver when the big game comes around-what are they at 10 bowl wins in a
row. Other than PSU, the Big 10 has had problems (similar to NU's bowl
losing streak) in winning bowls over good teams lately. Many pollsters
(despite the illogic of it) still don't consider PSU a 'true' Big 10
team. This attitude will continue until the other Big 10 teams can get
a win over
a SEC or Big 12 team in a bowl. The Citrus bowl is the only real chance
for a bigtime matchup to take place. The last 2 years the SEC won the game.
The rest of the Big 10 wins have been in minor bowls.
The media has short memories on that account. A couple of big wins in
the bowl season (besides the Rose) will get the Big 10 back into a
real MNC hunt--whether the games really matter to the MNC or not is sort
of not relevant to how pollsters think. Also, Ohio State really needs to
win this weekend. A loss to the Dohmers will probably make the Big 10
get a lot of scorn.

What I wonder is who is going to stop a 1 vs 2 matchup. And, if Notre

Big 10 again. (I'm not saying its a given, just wondering who will do

I think you're misreading me.
My point is that if someone wants to post to r.s.f.c. to talk about
college football, then they're going to do it no matter how their team is
doing. Whenever Team A pulls a major upset over Team B, r.s.f.c. gets
visited by several "fans" of Team A who post 8-12 messages saying how
great Team A is and how badly Team B and its r.s.f.c. supporters suck.
Then those "fans" go away and never post again.
If you're not one of those "fans," then welcome to r.s.f.c. and I
hope you stay around! (We hadn't heard from anyone from ASU before
Saturday, so I have no idea what's up in Tempe.)
> I sincerely hope the rest of your life doesn't revolve around
> this newsgroup the way you seem to be indicating it does.
I am a fan of college football, and (especially as I am now w/o a
television) r.s.f.c. is one major way I find out what is going on in
non-tOSU programs. I don't know what things are like in Tempe, but in
Columbus almost every college football fan I know is a fan of the local
team. To hear from knowledgeable fans of other teams, I have to read
r.s.f.c. (or, as you mockingly wrote to someone else, I have to "sit in
front of my computer.")

I think both. Since PSU exposed U$C's weaknesses, I've figured that
ASU was the most likely team to win the Pac-10. Fortunately for ASU, they
have Oregon at home, and I think the Sun Devils will at least squeak out a
close one.

I am a sometime lurker who just posted after the ASU game. However, you
should read my posts (and others from ASU) Several of us are doing
anything but gloating. After all of the RUTS bad blood talk, I thought
it might be constructive to try to cool it off. Just because someone
doesn't participate in a flame war with rival schools on a daily basis
does not mean there is anything wrong with them posting. Flaming is not
the only thing worth posting.

I think it was a combination of both. I don't think they'd have won with
JUST their skill, but obviously they couldn't have won with just their
emotion either (in other words, they ARE very skilled, but the emotion put
them over the top). I think the big danger in the Oregon game is the letdown

So if I'm not posting to this Usenet newsgroup that's filled with geeks
like you (who comprise a minority, I should say, since most people here
seem pretty cool despite assholes like you), that means I'm not "talking"
about my team? Get a life. And the Huskers lost two days ago already, get

Big Ten Bowl Victories Since PSU Joined in 1993:
1993 Holiday Bowl Ohio State 28, Brigham Young 21
1994 Outback Bowl Michigan 42, NC State 7
1994 Citrus Bowl Penn State 31, Tennessee 13
1994 Rose Bowl Wisconsin 21, UCLA 16
1994 Liberty Bowl Illinois 30, East Carolina 0
1994 Holiday Bowl Michigan 24, Colorado State 14
1995 Outback Bowl Wisconsin 34, Duke 20
1995 Rose Bowl Penn State 38, Oregon 20
1995 Sun Bowl Iowa 38, Washington 18
1996 Outback Bowl Penn State 43, Auburn 14
Penn State has three out of 10. Not half, but still pretty
impressive. Way to go, Joe!

Whatever, everyone. Congrats to ASU for knocking off the formerly
invincible cheaters of Husker U.
The real bandwagoners, though, are all the press voters on crack who
actually voted ASU up to #6, including one first-place vote. Who are we
kidding here?

In general, I agree, but we Rose Bowlers really shouldn't stoop to
this "m"nc level -- our game has always been more important anyway.
As for Nebraska (and the rest of the B12) -- deal with it. Now that
you're out of the "m"nc picture -- and face it, you are -- you'll just
have to focus on things like beating each other for conference
bragging rights, then having a fun New Year's trip somewhere.. And
you know what? That ain't so bad. So if you'll just try screwing
your heads on properly, you'll find that college football is a lot
more fun for it's week to week greatness than because of all the
national champ claptrap.
Where does this calm, rational perspective come from, you ask? From a
Wisconsin fan who learned in the lean years (and oh yes, there were
many) that you could lose the game but still win the party!

Neil, the point is this: it takes absolutely no balls to talk smack after
your team gets a big win, especially when you by your own admission came
here to find Nebraska fans to taunt. Don't expect to get anyone's respect
for that, because you don't deserve it.
If you can come in here after Arizona State loses -- and they will -- and
post about the loss, then I might give you some credit. If, however, you
skulk back to soc.culture.quebec, then you'll just confirm my suspicion
that you're a penis, and a small one at that.

You could say similar things about tOSU. Their two quarterbacks are first
year starters, one is a junior college transfer who ran the scout team
last year as a redshirt. The tailback is a first year starter, although
he saw a good deal of playing time last year. Our biggest losses were at
tight end ('94 starter D.J. Jones replaces Dudley after a year off due to
heart surgery), split end (veteran backup Buster Tillman now starts) and
fullback (Nicky Sualua, one of the best blocking backs in the country who
would rather goof off than play football, is subbed by senior Matt
Calhoun). These players have somewhat more game experience than
Michigan's, but are yet unproven in difficult situations. This will
change this week. As for room for improvement? I'm sure there is
(especially run blocking), but nothing can be clearly pointed out after
the first two embarrassments at Ohio Stadium. But I'm sure they will be
much improved as well.

Yes, but ...
If Notre Dame beats OSU next week, they will have beaten a top 5 team.
They will have beaten a second consecutive quality team. They will get a
huge boost in the polls. Then PSU beats OSU the week after that, and
people start saying "Hey, this OSU team might not be that good. They lost
two weeks in a row." And PSU does not get the benefit of the win over OSU
that Notre Dame got.
End result? If both Notre Dame and PSU beat OSU (especially if they both
win solidly) it is not unlikely that Notre Dame jumps PSU in the polls.
Life is really made horrible for PSU if Michigan then proceeds to lose
before playing PSU, depriving PSU of their last chance to make a big
showing of it.

She makes a decent point, actually. Arizona State was sky-high emotionally

to keep it up and if they're able to, it's a further testament to them.
They're definitely the better team. But that doesn't always count in the

Not only that, but Oregon got upset at

Dirgo has a point:
ASU wins a big game, and suddenly PAC-10 fans come pouring out of the

Real PAC-10 fans would have been here after U$C got clobbered, too.

You havn't read many posts then. Husker fans were good sports about
the loss UNTIL the ASU bandwagoners started posting. And we havn't
been ripping the ASU team, just the ASU bandwagoners. I can't wait
for ASU to lose so we can get rid of the bandwagon fans.

Come on Art. 1984 you lose to Miami by 1 point...don't tell me you don't
think Neb would have won on a neutral court. 1994 you lose to F$U by 2
points...same reasoning. Home field advantage in a bowl game is worth 14
POINTS!! That is a statistical fact.

Wrong again, Woodruff. YOU are all the "anti-Woodruff" crowd needs in
way of representation. However, I must admit you are right on one point.
It is a CROWD.
Your juvenile flames and snide pointless remarks provide more than
enough commentary.
BTW, you are the one who started this thread (it was titled by YOU "Neil
is a penis")
However, your name made it into the title b/c your own commentary
reflected best on yourself.

Actually, Woodruff started this thread himself as "Neil is a penis."
However, it backfired. I guess people have had enough of his flames and
decided to fight fire with fire.

Especially since he started this thread himself (it originally was
titled "Neil was a penis") He is getting burned by his own flame and
complaining about it to boot. He's providing the best ammo against
himself by acting so juvenile.

As far as I can tell, the B10 was 5-0 the year 3 years ago in bowl games.
Wisc beat UCLA, OSU beat BYU, Mich beat NCSt, Ill won and so did PSU.
That is 11-5 in bowl games going back 3 years. PSU has 3 of those, which
is 27%.

Its the poll at the end of the year that matters. Between now and then,
ASU will have ample opportunity to prove whether or not it was a fluke.
Assuming they are still unbeaten, the big test will USC.

Scott, you're not a penis. You're a fucking pinhead who has absolutely no
clue about anything. _I_ started this thread, and I'm rather pissed that
someone else is getting the credit for it.

First of all, Trent didn't start the "Neil is a penis" thread.
Second, this is a different thread. Just because you stuck the
"Re:" on it and swapped "Woodruff" with "Neil" doesn't make it the
same one. And obviously it's a flame aimed at Trent, which makes
your statement, "ASU fans aren't gloating or flaming NU fans,"
somewhat hypocritical.

Between Michigan, Penn St. and ND, Ohio State is worth one loss. Plus, I look
Ohio State to lose once to Iowa, Wisconsin or somebody else that we won't see

As I have posted elsewhere, it's way too early to worry about this. For all we
know, we will be rated about #20 after we lose three more games this year. Let
Ohio State enjoy their little moment in the sun. I mean, after such an
impressive win over football power Pitt (they must be great, Tony Dorsett went
there), we can stand a little gloating.

I would say it is more likely that the Big Ten will play itself out of
the MNC picture.

I still say the Big Ten and Pack ten were worthless until they decided
to join the rest of college football.

Maybe, but there is a definate disparity between UM, PSU, OSU and the rest of
the Big Ten this year. I think it will come down to how these three teams do
against each other that will decide if there is an undefeated Big-Ten team
playing in the Rose Bowl (provided that OSU beats ND, of course).

Say that to Colorado and Nebraska.
Heck, you might have even been able to say it to the SEC if they would
actually play a top-50 team during their non-conference schedule once in a
while.

In some conferences, it's hard to find the available top-50 teams outside.

Hardly. This has nothing to do with NU. It is about Trent's attiutude
that has pissed several people off. You should read the thread more
often or more carefully. Also, Trent did start this. He has had a
problem with Neil and has used it to up his posting statistics.

Look junior. You had better wipe the peanut butter off of Daddy's screen
so you can read.
You began the entire flame war aimed at Neil. Period. The title has been
changed over a dozen times but the chain of responses are continous. You
can mail your apology to ag...@asuvm.inre.asu.edu. Although I won't hold
my breath. If you ever did decide to stop acting like an AOL newbie, you
would have so many people to apologize to that it would take you years
to get around to me.

attitude.

I'm following the threads just fine, sport. Better
than you, evidently. If you're gonna flame somebody while
criticizing them for flaming others, you're being
hypocritical. "This isn't your personal club. If you
don't like what he posts, slap his name in your killfile."
