College Football - Nov 29th

Can you believe that the New York Times computer rankings have Notre Dame (2-4) in their top 25?!?!?!?!?!

The New York Times ranking have always been garbage. They're only in there because it's the New York Times, which impresses people who don't care about accurate journalism or sports knowledge. I say **** em; dump the NYT and add Jerry Palm's PSR rankings.

C'mon, you know MSU guys prefer multiple choice questions!

I did not have a multiple choice exam the last 2.5 years of college (damn physics)

Try the business school. I was in James Madison, and I don't recall a single multiple choice test there either. But I had to take some other courses like economics. The entire grade for entry level micro and macro economics was based upon a midterm and a final, both multiple choice. I took both classes, attending a total of 7 times (including the exams) using my high school economics course as my knowledge base. I bought the book for macroeconomics, but put that off for microeconomics until the midterm. I discovered that there weren't any more available though. That hurt my grade a bit. I got a 4.0 in Macro, and a 3.5 in Micro.

I was a despicable student in many ways.

Another painful game for ND, although less painful for me than Michigan (my boss is a Michigan fan, so...). The abuse factor from USC was higher, though. USC is obviously a very good offensive team and did what it wanted, when it wanted, against a competent ND defense. It's by far the most polished offensive team I have seen against ND this year. I wouldn't be surprised to see USC as national champs. They are that good.

ND's offense had good points, but the o-line and qb are still young. I really like the freshman quarterback, since he seems to be in charge of the squad and can throw the ball. The previous senior qb always did dumb avoidable stuff like having delay of game timeouts and penalties.

As for leagues, I have always considered the Big 12 to be weak. The ACC pretty much so as well. The PAC 10 is a real crap shoot from year to year. The SEC and Big 10 are very tough conferences consistently. You just have to look at a team with a storied history like Penn State turned into a mediocre school.

You don't work for K and H by any chance, do you?

If the initials fit, than that is it. Yes or no?

Oklahoma, simply put, is the best team in the country.

ACK!

Yup. Got my undergrad degree here, and will finish up my MD in just a few months.

Yea I know that, my comment was a hopeful answer as to why you were wrong.

I know a lot of people that went to U of M, albeit mostly in the 1980s. My stepfather got a masters of public health there, and one of my ex-girlfriends got a bachelors there before she went to Yale med school. Another one of my exes went to U of M law school after she graduated from MSU. About a quarter of my HS seemed to have gone to school there as well for their undergrad degrees. Too bad you didn't go to one of MSU's med schools, as I know probably 100 people that attended or taught at one or the other.

That's who I thought you were thinking. Authentication failed.
