    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

      It's not that the general public doesn't understand. It's all about remembering Spygate and not giving Belichick or the Patriots the benefit of the doubt.

    The truth about the Patriots' fumble rate

      Probably for the same reason it's easier to grip and hold onto a baseball as opposed to a basketball. The smaller, the better you can control it. And if the ball is smaller, I'm guessing the argument would be it's tougher for opponents to swipe at the ball, put a helmet on the ball, and...

    January College Hoops Thread

      KU was fortunate to win that game, too, after blowing a 20-point lead or so early in the second half on a neutral/semi-home court. That game was at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo.

    8 Teams is too much. A defense of the 4 team playoff

        If the Big 12 was bad, as you say, what does that say about the Big Ten going 0-3 in head-to-head games against that conference? Iowa State, which went 0-9 in the Big 12, won at Iowa, which went bowling. Doesn't speak well for the Buckeyes' inclusion over TCU or Baylor, especially with the...

    8 Teams is too much. A defense of the 4 team playoff

      So at best, you admit to using disingenuous information, because you cannot use wins and losses from bowl games to determine the four playoff entries. That information is not available at the time. You can't cite a conference bowl record as a reason for leaving a team out when they've already...

    8 Teams is too much. A defense of the 4 team playoff

      If you're going to continually cite that TCU got that one first-place vote in the coaches poll, then for full disclosure, it should be noted that Ohio State didn't get a single first-place vote. And you've gone on the record as saying you have no trouble with the Buckeyes being in the playoff...

    8 Teams is too much. A defense of the 4 team playoff

      So had Ohio State won 64-61, in your mind that would actually be a worse outcome than outright losing by two touchdowns at home to a 6-6 team. Got it.

    8 Teams is too much. A defense of the 4 team playoff

      Oregon gave up 41 points to Cal (5-7).   Ohio State gave up 35 points in a 14-point home loss to VaTech (7-6).   All mighty Alabama gave up 44 points to Auburn.   Florida State gave up 41 points to N.C. State.   If you want to continue to judge TCU -- which ranked 8th nationally in scoring...

    2014 Michigan Football: Dammit Jim, we need a Harbaugh. And a miracle worker.

    Marrow still will sign a three-year extension and stay at Kentucky, per The Toledo Blade.

      It might be a hefty price, but then Perron is under contract through the 2016 season at a reasonable cap hit of $4 million. Certainly worth the gamble to see how much better he can be away from Alcatraz.

    8 Teams is too much. A defense of the 4 team playoff

      If this season has proven anything, it's that four teams is not enough.   TCU walloped Minnesota, which the committee continually referenced as a great win for Ohio State, 30-7 back in its second game. TCU played nine conference games, the same as Ohio State, losing only by a field goal, on...

    2014 Michigan Football: Dammit Jim, we need a Harbaugh. And a miracle worker.

      To me, the key graph is "there was inadequate communication between our physicians and medical staff and Coach Hoke was not provided the updated diagnosis before making a public statement on Monday." Puts the poor communication squarely on the "physicians and medical staff" while giving Hoke...

    2014 Michigan Football: Dammit Jim, we need a Harbaugh. And a miracle worker.

      And right on cue, Dave Brandon releases a statement past midnight that basically absolves Hoke of blame. The gist of it ...   "Following the game, a comprehensive concussion evaluation was completed and Shane has been evaluated twice since the game," Brandon said in the statement. "As of...

    Conference Realignment Thread

        Nebraska's won division titles, sure. Winning a conference championship game for the first time since 1999, that might still be elusive.
