Right, the correct inference to draw is that it should be "alright to hit a woman," and not "maybe we shouldn't be hitting other people at all."

It's weird when people make those arguments as if Manning doesn't have a ring. He's won as many times as Favre and Young, and more than Marino, Fouts and Tarkenton. It goes past the argument that people had against Bonds and extending it to Mays and Aaron too.

quote:Another FCS-to-FBS team??I don’t get it. Do any of these little FCS schools think they’re going to amount to anything when they move up? Do they really think that they’re going to become relevant on the national scene? At least in the FCS you had a reasonable shot at winning a championship of some kind, whether conference or national. In the FBS, all that’s going to happen is that you’re going to become a more attractive target for teams looking for a rent-a-win; since you’re technically not in the FCS, dropping 60 on you doesn’t look quite as egregious, strength of schedule-wise.

The powerful schools are just going to get more and more powerful while costs climb higher and higher. You can make a pretty good case that half of FBS teams shouldn't be FBS teams. Look at Idaho. They moved up in 1997. Since then, they've had three winning seasons. The best was a 9-3 season in 1998. They've also had eight seasons that they lost ten or more games. They've only won five games in the last four seasons. Idaho will never be competitive. Conversely, from 1986 to 1996, Idaho had 11 winning seasons, never finished worse than 6-5, had seven seasons with nine or more wins, and had two 11 win seasons. Was Idaho better off in IAA/FCS?

FAU went from non-existent to winning a bowl game in like 5 years because they were in South Florida and could build a competitive team around Florida's big 3 castoffs and rejects. Similar story with USF and UCF. Georgia Southern tells us a similar story. So yeah, Bumblefuck State won't be competitive simply because they have little to no native talent and because they can't draw a person in. Even Appalachian State has a history to fall back on. Idaho had...the Kibbie Dome.

Idaho had...the Kibbie Dome. But for the handful of Florida schools that can scoop up the leftovers like that, there's two schools somewhere else in the country that are...not in good shape. Idaho was an easy one because I knew they'd actually been successful in IAA before moving. Washington State doesn't have much better history, which make sense because they're equally remote. What about Kent State? An hour south of Cleveland in one of the strongest football regions around. They've got the 126th best winning percentage in FBS. Exactly one good season ever. In their entire history, they've only been ranked in the AP top 25 for five total weeks (one week in 1973, four in 2012) and peaked at #18. What realistic chance will Kent State, UTEP, New Mexico State, Buffalo, Idaho, UL-Monroe, Temple, UNLV, Eastern Michigan, New Mexico, Charlotte, Memphis, Colorado St, Wyoming, Arkansas St, and the rest of that group of teams really have? Its only going to get worse in the future for the smaller programs. Conferences are going to move to more conference games, they're going to start requiring more games against the other P5 conferences, and their autonomy is going to attract more of the guys that slipped through the hands of the Florida, California, and Texas schools. The scheduling will eventually force them out and hamstring their budgets. If Michigan is paying players, do you think a guy that wanted to stay close to home but couldn't go to Miami is going to go to FAU to not get paid when Michigan is throwing money around?

This is a pretty ridiculous slippery slope argument. Winning the national championship is really only the goal of maybe 20 programs in the country, the main goal is to win the conference, then a bowl game.

All I know is App State won their first championship my Sr. year, then ripped off two more right after. I can guarantee I was 10 times more hype to go to that national championship game than I would have been to backdoor an invite to the Raycom Media Camellia Bowl at 7-5.

Honestly this is most of my reasoning for never wanting Montana to move up. We're a big fish in a medium pond, and are about a 50/50 shot to make the playoffs each year, it's a good thing we have going on, why gently caress that up?

I never said anything about national championships. I'm talking about winning games period. Temple, for instance, has lost 57 percent of all the games it's ever played, won one conference championship ever (1967),and has been to four bowls (1934, 1979, 2009, 2011). They got kicked out of the Big East! They went 14-80 in conference during that time. Is it that insane to suggest that teams like Temple could possibly benefit from shifting from the bottom third of FBS to possibly being the top third of FCS?

Well, it's a land grant school so that's not too surprising (the surprising part is that it was the only university for like 60 years in the state). Supposedly it was a compromise so the panhandle folks wouldn't secede from the rest of the state.

As always, the most popular QB for some Internet Georgia Fans is the guy who never plays:quote:After a spring and summer full of speculation, rumors, and question marks concerning who would be Georgia’s starting Quarterback for the 2015 season, we finally received an answer roughly a week ago. That answer was Greyson Lambert. Lambert looked pretty good against a completely outmatched UL Monroe team on Saturday between the hedges, and most people believe that performance has solidified him as the starter moving forward. Not so fast my friends. From all accounts it appears as if Lambert barely won this thing, and one bad game could/should completely open things back up for Ramsey and Bauta. That being said, I’d like to state my case for why Faton Bauta should/could be UGA’s starting quarterback this season or at least get some 3rd down work. REASONS WHY FATON BAUTA SHOULD BE GEORGIA'S STARING QB: 1) He tries hard. 2) Richt was mean to Logan Gray. 3) Tebow! Every year with this stuff.

At least in this sub, and most informed NFL fans agree that what the NFL is doing to the Patriots is nothing short of a witch hunt. At what point, does the Gov't get involved? You might ask, why would the Gov't get involved? Well because there is a relatively strong gambling market for the NFL. This market operates on the assumption that the league is on the up-and-up. Clearly, the playing field is being tampered with by the NFL artificially. They have attempted to suspend a player, have docked multiple draft picks, have committed borderline libel, and continue to thrust the notion that the Patriots are cheaters without an ounce of evidence. This is starting to look similar to the black sox scandal, in the sense that the establishment that you are trusting to oversee the game and maintain its integrity is severely hampered. When does te NFLs actions w.r.t labor laws, libel, and artificial adjustment of the competitive environment raise enough questions for a govt inquiry? The nail in the coffin would be concrete evidence that the NFL front office is actively trying to modify the competitive balance of the league outside of league rules. Ie: the front office is full of ex Jets employees and they hate the Pats. A realization such as that, would in my opinion lead to nothing less than a complete dismantling of the NFL similar to the way that the MLB was effected.
