Don't think UNC leaves the ACC.

I will play devil's advocate here.

If UNC leaves who does ACC get to replace them? UCON? Cinci?

I seriously doubt superconferences would grow to that size; realignment is being driven in large part by separating the "haves" from the "have nots". There aren't even close to 80-100 "haves" in CFB. You'd be hard-pressed to fill 4 superconferences of 16 with quality programs.

Sure they can! The B1G got a great deal with Rutgers and Maryland!!


Wait..

Just talked to Jack Swarbrick about this (not lying) he says the only reason teams will move is if they are bankrupt (ie Marylamd). He sees other teams going, unnamed, but not UVA, UNC. Also sees Catholic 7 adding Xavier, Butler. He talked for 30 mins at my dorm and answered all questions. Great guy, brilliant. He also said that joining the Catholic 7 would be good for one thing- Catholicism, bad for everything else.

Please tell me you or someone else asked about when construction on the jumbotron was going to start and when field turf would be installed.

The field will be grass next year. He hopes to bring the field at Lambeau but it's "insanely expensive". Most of reasons for turf, jumbotron revolved around other uses for the stadium, because he thinks its underused. Also jumbotron will likekly be "sometime in future". Also he is in works to schedule an SEC team, wouldn't say which.

Sorry if misunderstood, the field will be the same grass as last year. Hopefully will change to Green Bay's system sometime inf future.

I just meant getting all this info from Jack. That is awesome dude.

I mean I'm sure if he saw the benefits > costs of bringing on Lambeau turf he would. It must be crazy expensive.

Interesting to know we will be scheduling an SEC team, especially if our 2015 slate holds up with Texas.

Thanks for the info Jimmy.
On the SEC team my fist guess would be Tenn, otherwise I wouldn't have a clue.
I'm sure it would be a home & home set up, so what big time SEC team would play up north? Bama played @ PSU so I know they would be willing. FLA hahaha not a chance, UGA and USCe maybe.

As a Tennessee alum who had to hear "You hadn't played against an SEC team yet." I think a game with them would be

1. It's "they're"
2. Where did I mention ND?
3. Your future can look as great as it wants. I wish you guys nothing but well. It doesn't matter to us since your AD chose to end the series.
4. Once again, you have no evidence they're getting better recruits. If you base them off rankings, I can direct you to the Mack Brown School of underachieving.

Yeah because UM has been in two National title games in the last ten years

National titles aren't the focus here. They never have been. The goal has always been to win the B1G Championship. Ever since Gustave Ferbert won the first one in 1898, that's been to goal. And nobody has done it better than Michigan.

If there are any Big Ten teams that shoot for a national championship, they're damn fools...You play to win the Big Ten championship, and if you win it and go to the Rose Bowl and win it, then you've had a great season. If they choose to vote you number one, then you're the national champion. But a national champion is a mythical national champion, and I think you guys ought to know that. It's mythical.

Im going to call BS on that one. If you played to win the B1G then you should just not play bowl games or out of conference.
Maybe that was a big deal back when Bo was coach, before 7-6 Wisconsin made it to the Rose Bowl.

That's the dumbest G'damn thing I've ever read. Nothing says a successful season like running the gauntlet of Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota, Northwestern, and Purdue....All the while playing 3 directional Mac Michigan schools every year. Quit quoting Bo.....He's as drippy as Woody.... B1G sucks..... O'Doyle Rules!!!!!!

That's why we Michigan fans don't **** blood and rage when there happens to be a OOC loss or bowl loss. Non-major bowls are about preparing for the following season.

I'd love to have wisconsin's last 3 years. They won 3 straight conference titles.

By the way, Appalachian State isn't done with your backside yet. Assume the position.

Didn't you guys have trouble with purdue? The mighty purdue team that got ****ed sideways in their bowl game?

A little over a year left and that tired old bit will be put to bed, next to their tombstone.

LOLOLOL!!!!

Dude. Keep playing for Big Ten Championships. When you have literally 3 good teams in the conference and you are yapping about winning the BIG10...fine by me. Your coaches leave established schools in the Big 10 to go coach in the SEC, where they talk about NC's. Urban is the outlier there, and only b/c Ohio is his home state.

There are a few threads from your boards that ask the question: why does Brady keep talking about winning the Big Ten? It gets annoying. You think O$U is sitting in Columbus yapping on about the BIG10 championship all day? Hell no. Urban is setting up pipelines to FL, TX, GA, etc. and playing big boy football.

Are they discussing their master plan for a MNC in the tattoo parlor or the head shop?

Trust me... You'll never live down losing to a crappy Div1-AA team. It still makes me giggle.

Correct if me I'm wrong, but didn't that "crappy" FCS team win their 3rd consecutive national championship that year?

Still no excuse to lose to them AT ALL but give them some credit. That FCS team wasn't Delaware State.

I mean jokes aside, I fully appreciate Bo and his legacy at UM. I really do. But the landscape isn't the same anymore. We ourselves are coming to appreciate that fact, and have had to deal appropriately. Who knows, I may be eating these words in the coming years.

Nevertheless, The BIG10 championship isn't what it used to be. With a bunch of mediocre teams running around, coaches leaving for the SEC, etc., it's just not the same. And with Urban coming in and bringing his swag, do you think some 5* from Florida wants to freaking hear about a BIG10 championship? Are you kidding me? Urban is down there telling the kid he will be Percy Harvin and will go to a NC game. As bad as it sounds, the pipelines are being set.

And Brady hasn't won a BIG10 'ship yet so I don't know what he is squawking about.
