  • And here's a bizarre photo of 3 Michigan State players guarding the midfield S at the end of the game so that ND wouldn't plant its flag there.

    Guy, tell me. Are these guys for real?

    I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

      • It's bizarre, considering that MSU has had the better of ND lately. They're acting like they'll never win another game against ND again.

        The silliness must permeate the whole program.

          MSU has a history of losing a big game, possibly one they "should have won," and then tanking the rest of the season.

                • To be sure, some upsets are mixed up in that.

                  Iowa (to Ohio State) -- DanS: I think Iowa has a solid chance to win this (experienced QB, home field)

                  • This is the first year that I have noticed a whole bunch of junior college transfers on big teams. Has anybody else noticed this? Has this always been in the game, and I haven't noticed, or is this something new?

                    • Wow... Auburn with a tough time against South Carolina. Does this hurt them in the polls or do the pollsters see Spurrier led Gamecocks to be better than previously thought?

                        Its always been around, but I think they are greater in numbers now. They would always snap up the best of the best JUCO players, but seeing teams built on JUCO transfers, they've decided there are more there that have the talent to play on the big boys.

                        • It seems like some teams don't have any junior college starters. ND doesn't for sure. I don't remember Michigan having any junior college starters -- or at least any mentioned. I remember that Georgia Tech and MSU both had one or more junior college starters. Ohio State had one or more (IIRC). Florida State has several.

                          I'm not sure what to think of this trend. Just something that I noticed that surprised me.

                          • JUCO players are poor students but good players. "Good" schools like Notre Dame or Michigan aren't going to use them, as they couldn't cut it at the school. Weaker academic schools will though, particularly at schools who need help recruiting.

                            Top schools don't usually need them anyway, as the "best" recruits get enough help to pass their SATs and whatnot.

                            I know NMSU, the school where I grew up, made a Final Four with nearly entirely JUCO transfers. I think Basketball has more than Football, or at least they make a bigger difference.

                              Virginia Tech (to Georgia Tech): Yes. 9/10 GA Tech.

                              Iowa (to Ohio State): No. 6/10 Iowa.
                              Purdue (to Notre Dame): Maybe, 50/50, i'll say 5.1:4.9 ND.
                              Houston (to Miami): Houston's undefeated?? 10/10 Miami.
                              Oregon (to Arizona State): No. 7/10 Oregon.
                              Boise State (to Utah): No. 8/10 Boise State. Boise State's a good team that not enough people know about...

                              (Confidence: Highest to lowest - Miami, GA Tech, Boise, Oregon, Texas Tech, Iowa, ND.)
