I only had 5 points on the Fresneck St game. Looking at the global picks there was no overwhelming favorite so yeah, lower points. Same thing with this game.
 
At least in the ESPN pick 'em, I had BYU winning with 35 confidence and NIU winning with 30 confidence. Or maybe the confidence was switched. Oh well, good either way.

Good to see Troy up too, only had 8 points on them, though.

And I can't check Yahoo as I'm on my phone and I forgot my login details.
 
Penn State's #9 on the Girl's Volleyball: Hooot.

At least from the side angle, need a better angle.

Holy jesus she's 6'5. That's like a foot taller than me. WOULD NOT WOULD NOT
 
quality dips a little on the picture. Her at Profile looks great, maybe a bad picture. Oh, and TALLLL. 6-7 inches taller than me...I could manage :D
 
Yeah trying to overcome a foot of height difference might be a lot. My ex played HS Volleyball, she was 5'10" and I'm about 5'8". Wasn't really that big of a deal though.

I'm 5'7", and somehow I went on a couple of dates with a 5'9" model. I think she fudged an inch but she said all models HAVE to be at least 5'9" so she said she was 5'9". Too bad it didn't work out with her. Anyways....

Yeah, I'm not entirely convinced she was 5'10" but you can't argue with women on this stuff.

And yeah I wish things had worked out, sigh.
 
My girlfriend is 5'11"

Luckily I'm 6'2"

I won't say that we don't look like a freak couple though when we go out.

Luckily her brother is 6'7" and his wife is 6'3" so we look normal when we go out with them :lol

the ratio seems about right to me. you're 3 inches taller than her so that seems about right. If you two had kids, hello NBA! (or WNBA)
 
With today's game, Jake Heaps broke Ty Detmer's 22-year old BYU record for most TDs by a freshman in a season. That's a good sign for the future...

Don't say that! According to many sources, Daniel Radcliffe is only 5'5" ( including Daniel Radcliffe himself claiming to be 5'5" in recent interviews ). You're the same height as Harry F'n Potter! All girls want to be with Harry Potter!

I'm the same height as rapper Ludacris (5'7") so I feel less self consious about my height too!

I wonder how well he'll be able to recruit up in that area. The NE isnt really known for their high profile players.

He never recruited blue chippers, he always took the also rans of Texas. Like his recruits were never looked at by Texas and OU. He can do fine wherever he goes.

Yeah but you have good players in Texas so even the mid tier players are still good. The NE doesnt have nearly the depth of players. Virginia and Pennsylvania are really the only decent states and they are pretty well locked down.


Edit: Also why did Maryland fire their coach anyway? He seemed to be doing pretty decent, do they think theyre title contenders or something?

"Mike Leach is going to be the next head coach at Maryland, a key Big 12 source told Orangebloods.com."

Should be interesting, is the ACC ready for the air raid offense?!

Really excited about thisk though I think it is incredibly fucking shitty that they are forcing Ralphie out early. He turned that team from 2-10 to almost winning the ACC in one year, with a Freshmen QB. I undeerstand wanting to grab Leach though. That guy is a damn good coach and he was going to get picked up by somebody much better down the road. Maryland got him at the right time. As an FSU fan I'm excited to see Leach coming to the ACC. He ought to up the profile of the conference a bit if he can be successful. Another good school in the conference is always a good thing. However, it makes Maryland a big challenge now. Their freshmen QB is a BEAST and putting him in Leach's pass-heavy 'air raid' offense is going to be scary.

I hadn't posted it because that went up on Orangebloods several days ago but there hasn't been anything about it on any "real" news source since (outside of being hinted at as a rumor on some ESPN twitter feeds) except all the ones citing the Orangebloods story.

As the rumors go, from what I've heard it's because 1. the "coach in waiting" James Franklin skipped town to go to Vanderbilt and may be taking a lot of the staff with him, and 2. there's some kind of connection between one of the Under Armour higher ups and Maryland, and Leach knows the guy personally, so he's pushing to have him in the job.
 
OSU assistant head coach Darrell Hazell is going to be the head coach for Kent st. He's a really nice guy who brought a lot of fire to the offense, good to see him get a head coaching gig, but im really sad to see him go.
 
I had thought someone typed Epic Beard during a bowl game, and now I see why

Does that beard count as another man on the field? Which has better stats, the man or the beard?

It was a walk-on this year, I hear they're bumping the beard up to full scholarship after its bowl performance.

Under our proposal, mandatory contract lengths would be five years for first-round players (six years for quarterbacks), four years for second- through seventh-round picks and three years for undrafted rookies (as I was). Players and teams would be able to renegotiate and extend the initial contracts of first-round rookies after year three, and after year two for all other rookies.

Under the proposal, the first pick in the draft would sign a five-year contract and receive a $5.34 million signing bonus and $1.5 million salary his rookie year, even if he does not play a single down. In years two and three, his salary would be set at $1.7 million and $1.9 million, respectively. His fourth- and fifth-year salaries would rise to $2.3 million and $2.9 million for a total package of $15.6 million. (If he is a quarterback, he would be paid $4.3 million in year six.) The first pick would still be paid well, but at a much more reasonable level than under the current system.

By eliminating individual negotiations, a rookie wage scale should have the added benefit of reducing the influence of agents on our college campuses. Having served as a college athletic director for 16 years at Colgate and Northwestern, I know firsthand that even one unscrupulous agent who chooses to break NCAA rules can cause serious problems for a college and its players, resulting in the forfeiture of games, championships, awards and scholarships.

So #1 Pick could go from $20 Million+ a year to $1.5 Million. Think that could really get some players to stay for their senior years. Thoughts?

College football will get better because more juniors will stay, IMO. It was always insane in my eyes how an unproven rookie would be one of the highest paid players on a team.


EDIT: And no, FUCK NO, I will not feel bad for someone making $2M+ a year instead of $20M+
