So what about this conference realignment?

Yeah Rutgers and Maryland is not a big deal but the chain reaction it may set off is crazy.

For one Boise State and SDSU are trying to get back into the Mountain West. Can't say that is a bad idea because traveling across the whole country seemed like a bad idea for teams with less revenue potential.

The Big East seems like it is over as a football conference. As either UConn or Louisville is going to the ACC. Louisville or Cinny may go to the Big 12.

Any number of teams from the ACC may go to either the SEC, Big 12 or B1G.

Things are about to get crazy.

Yeah, there's already rumors about the SEC pulling in Virginia Tech and North Carolina as a result. The ACC could become the new Big East almost overnight.

And talk about FSU and Clemson to the Big 12

I think we're going to end up with four 16-team conferences. I'm not crazy about it, but let's just go ahead and get there rather than dragging it out.

On a side note, am I the only one amused that Boise State, after complaining up a storm about not getting the respect it was due compared to Big Six conference teams by the BCS, was set to completely defy geography and join the weak-ass Big East? Join the Big 12 or Pac 12, tough guys.

Looks like they and SDSU are staying put in the Mountain West now that the money of Big East is disappearing.

In all fairness to BSU, the PAC 12 and the Big 12 didn't want them. They add some football cred but very little in the way of new markets. For a brief moment the Big East had markets but needed football cred, but it looks like the Big East is all but done for now.

And you may be amused at my reaction too when I meet the real Eublet and find he's probably not my evil nemesis I perceive in talkbass. We'll talk about Laklands or something... I'll let you play my Scheff Skyline 5 if you've never played one and want to. We've just about worn out football.

Well there we go then! I would so LOVE to play your Scheff as I've never seen one in the flesh. Lakland makes great stuff though so I'm sure it's fantastic. I absolutely love DJ's...I can't seem to stop buying and selling them.

Another year, another Thanksgiving where my sister and I argue over which Oklahoma school will win Bedlam. Although she just had surgery so it's going to be an easy argument to win while she's hopped up on pain killers

I'm still very

about no A&M-Texas game this year. Just won't be the same without it.

I have a feeling we will see this game again within the next couple of years due to the SEC/Big 12 bowl match-up that will be happening soon. I mean Florida plays FSU every year why can't A&M play Texas every year?

13-3, but it could easily be 19- 0 or more--blown fake fg, going 20 yards backward after an int at the Fsu 24. Really hope the missed opportunities don't come back to haunt the Gators.

GregC · #56 11-24-2012, 04:08 PM

That was the worst interference call in the wrong direction in the history of football. And Fsu has zero penalties 40 minutes in. What a damn joke!!!

now that's what i call hangin' tough!

Greg...your Gators showed a lot of character.

Thanks, Dave. Now I'm going to grit my teeth and root for USC to win and give the Gators a shot at the title game.

Not to mention almost every play their OL was holding bad. Now that we won I don't have to sound like a poor loser but that was BAD officiating.

The interference call was one of the worst I have ever seen.

Now come on USC
