Anyone else probably not going to watch the National Championship game this year? Monday night @7:30? It’ll be 8 before it even starts and won’t be over till 11 probably. I know the first game was such an amazing display of all that is great about football but will everyone be watching?
^Congrats on the nuptials. So, she actually decided to keep you.

Not sure about the NC game, but night games during the week are always problematic for me. As much as I like some of the match-ups I probably not see.much of the games. Plus, having not sold my soul to ESPN, I will have to watch on my phone.

I will be watching, and you will to. I’m going to make sure of it (not sure how yet thought).
It’s looking like RG3 is going to take down the Heisman tonight. I really wanted Luck to win it, and if he didn’t I’d prefer it go to Monte Ball (he’s done the most damage against the best defenses). RG3 is a great athlete and a great person though, so I can’t get mad either way.
Who’d everyone else want to take the stiff arm trophy?
UCLA hired Jim Mora Jr.
A&M to hire Summlin. Expect announcement soon.

Great game here.
Go Navy. Beat Army
Semper Fi
So glad RG3 won the Heisman… Who were the 15 (or so) idiots who gave first place votes to the “honey badger”? Lol
So at the end of the season, the Big 12 “bottom feeders” consists of:
A top 10 BCS team
A team that kept OK St out of the national championship game
And now a heisman trophy winner
Bottom feeders indeed.

The wife and I say congrats Greg, hope you had a great one.
Honey Badger always plays great on synthetic grass, where is the BCS game at?

“Idiots” who value defense?

I have already been laughed at when I mentioned that some have argued that top to bottom the Big 12 was the hardest conference this year. I think nearly each team is bowl bound.

Definitely. Any statistical model that you use shows that Ball had by far the best season out of any of the Heisman candidates. His numbers are nuts by themselves, but when you look at the defenses he did it against, it becomes even more impressive.

LOL - since previous Heisman winners each get a vote, I wouldn’t doubt that one of the 15 “idiot” votes was from Woodson.

8 out of 10 teams are going to a bowl. KU and Tech get to stay home.

I wouldn’t have laughed because I think its difficult to pick a “hardest” conference every year. Generally though there a couple that tend to seperate from the others. Its much easier to judge seperation between teams than conferences.

Wanted to hear your thoughts on that?

Was happy for RGIII. Sentimentally wanted Richardson to go but honestly had him 3rd behind Ball and RGIII. I might be biased but he lit my Frogs up. I believe he already has his undergrad degree.

It’s done. I am fine with the pick. Although I do not think this is part of the reason he was picked, but I like the idea of an African-American coach on a pretty white campus. I remember a study done at A&M about race relations on campus that found that for the most part race was generally a non-issue. Aggies first above all else. But I think seeing something other then white guy at the helm will be good.
