Reports from the wires at this time suggest they were metaphorically re-enacting the Texan's season, resulting in significant added laundry expenses for the hotel.

I feel like Wilson dressing up in an easter-related costume is somehow a metaphor for the Giants' season, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

Saying there are less writing restraints on network tv is like saying that the Bucs' locker room is relatively safe and healthy when compared to the rest of the league.

They got the idea for the show after they heard someone describe OSU's strength of schedule.

"It's ridiculous! I'd estimate that the defense stunk up a drive for every 2 scoring drives Oregon notched up in that color."

I take his screenname to mean that he has a job?

Man, they sneak in flares into soccer games stateside. Hooliganism in England might not be what it used to be (not that it contributed to Hillsborough, incidentally), but this sort of stuff doesn't surprise me at all.

Serie A: "Oh sure, when someone throws a flare at an official in England they "investigate" the incident, but when we throw bananas onto the pitch everyone completely loses their shit."

The old days when there were split national titles strikes me as more honest, when the entire thing is decided subjectively anyway.

I was about to make this point. The number of non-AQ teams in major bowls is essentially capped at 1, the odds of making the plauoff are zero, and theoretically there's nothing stopping the (much reduced) pool of voters from picking 4 SEC teams. The irony is that, in the name of instituting fairness, the postseason…

Even more importantly, and at the risk of counting chickens: if you had your choice, would you prefer the Liberty Bowl or the New Orleans Bowl? Liberty Bowl is obviously more prestigious, but the New Orleans Bowl would have a better pro-TU crowd, maybe receive better local coverage, and also would be easier for me…

It's possible. Let's face it; moving to the AAC is only slightly better than treading water, and by getting left behind, USM might even see its football revenues decline, making it that much more difficult for it to pull itself out of the muck.

I never could be bothered to muster much hatred against USM, myself. As far as I'm concerned, Tulane only has one historical rival, and we stopped playing years ago.

Seriously. It's as though the 1998 season was some sort of curiosity, when in fact it was the best season in CUSA history, set numerous offensive records, ended in a #7 ranking and led directly to a shakeup in how mid-majors are selected to the BCS.

I don't usually do this, but I think Tulane, with the best record in its conference, has earned the benefit of the doubt. Will it win CUSA? Probably not, but describing it as "sad-sack" and clearly "inferior" to ECU when it is one of the top teams in the country in forcing turnovers, is 3-0 in conference play, and…
