...and it ain't like they unlocked the door and joined uninvited. Per the write up, they were both having sex with separate guys in front of the other two, in the same room. Sounds like the real problem here is... one of the girls texted about a 3some, not both so the 4th guy should have sat that one out or got a signed, Yes means Yes waiver, before he went all PIIHB... but I ask...who has ever sat that one out in the history of history without going straight for the assumptive close? Glad I'm past all that mess.

Until that one rare day when the stars and moon align perfectly and it's presented itself to you. lol

One of the girls parents were on the news last night with their faces blurred out. Of course they were wanting the school to kick the FB players out of school. Might be better to have a talk with your daughter folks. Just sayin'.

Nope! I'll go lock myself in the bathroom, call my lawyer and not come out till he gets there with the camera rolling.

B1G refs are such chicken sh-t pussies.

Grow some balls and call a penalty on OSU

That personal foul on Mich St was probably one of the most ridiculous calls I've seen this year. The Ohio St player poked him in the eye but Mich St gets the flag called on them.

Playoffs - Questions for Big 10

Playoffs - Questions for Big 10

Should you have to win your conference championship to go to the Playoff? (To rephrase: Should two teams not playing for the Conference championship go to the Playoff?)

Should a team (Penn St, Wisconsin) that wins your conference championship, playing thirteen games, finishing with a better record be excluded for another team (Michigan)?

Are you advocating that teams whose overall body of work - despite playing twelve games - is superior be Playoff teams?

Playoff Committee Members who could best answer these from a Big 10 perspective:
Point persons for Big Ten – Jeff Long (Vice-Chariman, former Assoc AD at Mich, grad asst at Michigan) and Tyrone Willingham (coached at MSU), Barry Alvarez (AD Univ of Wisconsin), Herb Deromedi (former Head coach and AD at Central Michigan Univ., 28 total years, BA and MA from Univ of Michigan). Only Alvarez would have to recuse himself and for votes on Wisconsin.

OhioSt should be in for sure. Wisconsin, if they win, should be in ahead of Michigan. While they lost to Michigan, on the road by 7, Michigan is using the same arguement why they should be in losing to OhiosSt plus Wisconsin is a P5 Champ.

Only way Michigan gets in is if Washington or Clemson loses. Then let chaos ensue. 3 BIG teams in, lol.

B1G will probably only get one in. No way three get in. If PSU wins the conference title game, they have a legit claim to being in the playoff over any other B1G team, even OSU as they beat them. Washington or Clemson will have to lose for multiple B1G teams to get in.

If Wisconsin wins the championship, how would you rank the B10 teams?

1. Wisconsin (lost to OSU and Mich)
2. Penn St (beat OSU, lost to Mich)
3. Ohio St (beat Mich, lost to PSU)
4. Mich (lost to OSU and Iowa)

Based on B1G standings? As you have it above.

Based on the committee's supposed playoff model:

1. Ohio State
2. Michigan
3. Wisco
4. Penn St

If Ohio St and Michigan played 100 times on a neutral field?

Michigan 53 - 47.

PSU would have to be fourth if Wisconsin beats them. That would be their third loss. scUM moves up to #3 after the B1GCG.

Don't think they suck but I do think the narrative that the B1G was somehow this super conference was a bit premature.

Natural that the media does a "best conference" with football sucess from their top teams following signing a media rights deal for billions ($2.64 b). Bowls are about matchups.

They don't suck. But the difference in talent between the top Big Ten teams and the elite SEC/ACC teams - especially on the defensive line - was pretty obvious both tonight and last night in the Michigan-FSU game.

Big 10 types talking about unfavorable matchups according to Vegas. Both OSU and Michigan were favored in their games, though.

It will be interesting to see how Monday's games go.

There are always a few guys that the media and school will talk about how he is a finance major or some sign of excellence in the classroom but for the most part those guys on defense are the non students in school to win football games and try for the nfl after there incomplete college life experience. That my friends is what Notre Dame is up against. 80% of those guys couldn't get into Notre Dame under todays admission standards even if they wanted to. That is what Kelly has been up against the whole time. Most of the time you don't find academics playing d line or backer. These games are no fun to watch anymore. I'd really like to see a breakdown of some of these guys classes and work load. Never before has it been so evident that this whole deal has turned into semi pro football. Can we start a look at 2 distinct levels or leagues in college football------I think it may be time for a separation of pros vs college joes. Don't think it would matter one bit regarding Notre Dames national presence they would just be playing schools of like culture. Everyone knows what is going on today anyway so what is the problem. Its just a watered down version of the nfl and frankly its not as good to watch. This year I watched more nfl football than ever before because the college game just resembles and minor league of the real thing.

My only hope is that big money in college sports continues to get burned.

Listening to some of the bowl game announcers, beyond the SEC hype, the big1g (lower case intended) hype was the funniest, started out like superman, ended like Boy George.

I like Boy George better than the big1g, but it was the most superman opposed image I could come up with on the fly.

Even though UofM kept fighting back, I solute my UofM frends everywhere. Those I know claimed all late season to have the statistically best defense in the nation.

No, Alabama did.

And yesterday there were four teams that played better defense than Michigan. All four in the playoffs.

Here is my question : FSU is a team with a very good offensive talent, but far from the defense they sported in past years. And remember, FSU was never in (serious) consideration for the ACC Championship this year, as the season progressed.

What the heck would UofM have done yesterday if they had to play one of the really tough ACC teams like VATech, or, Clemson? OMG!

Then I gets a sad. Remember back when most of us kinda liked Kelly? And he said he wouldn't trade his depth chart at quarterback for any in the country, and especially Ohio State scoffed. The fact is that JT Barrett was jail sexed yesterday, and you have to agree Kelly was right.

But here is my question. With that incredible bevy of talent that Kelly had, what the fuck has he produced? Nothing! In the same time OSU had ended the season with a Natty, a destruction of UND, and another trip to the playoffs! And ND? . . .

But you have to remember that it all starts in the trenches. JT Barrett has had some amazing games in his career. You know, when he got blocking. Clemson was on his ass like white on rice last night and he was not able to conjure any magic. Clemsons DLine was the main contributor, add in blitz packages that OSU couldn't handle and there is your game.

UM fans keep saying its a different game if Peppers plays, and it might have been. But I firmly believe that Jimbo let off too early and then found himself in a dog fight. FSUs Dline was having its way with UMs Oline. Frankly UMs Slow White Guy offense was beat up. I have UM friends say that UM should have been in the playoff instead of OSU after the Clemson game. Fact of the matter is that Clemson or Bama would have eaten Michigan alive and the score light years worse.

UM is now in a situation next year where they lose a whole lot of talent. It will be interesting to see how it works out. I see 4 losses on their schedule.

They've come a long ways from last year when Iowa and MSU were the Big Ten power house bowl performances.
