I did see one on Twitter last night, JMU can claim both the FCS and FBS titles.

e: figured it out, it's Clemson < Pitt < Northwestern < Illinois State(loving really, NW?) < NDSU < JMU

Illinois State held them to 7 points at home. Somebody proposed at the game too.

Amherst is in the middle of deciding a new mascot, which naturally applies to their football team.

The old one, Lord Jeffs, is out as the man it is named for thought giving smallpox-infected blankets to Native Americans was a cool idea.

Possibly the most popular of the semifinalists?

Hamsters.

You see, it's an anagram of Amherst.

And like most of the student body, it's a mammal. And they're male and female, also like most people associated with the college.

(That's from the list of rationale behind the suggestions.)

By D3 standards that's totally fine. gently caress you, Heidelberg University The 'Berg!

We use this forum to mock virtually every well known coach in the sport for the dumb stuff they say or do.

A mod once spent real life time and money dedicating a website to making fun of a coach for having epilepsy and we thought it was the funniest loving thing ever.


You sure? I think it is him. Pretty sure he's yelled at me like 3 times thinking when I post about Harbaugh it's because VT lost that Sugar Bowl and why am I even bothering posting about Michigan because VT isn't a rival.

That's Marquis de Pyro. Reg is One of the Good Ones.

I responded to you for making 4-5 posts in a row over the offseason that criticized Harbaugh for doing absolutely normal things. It was really weird. "Can you guys believe this lunatic said that he likes to eat bacon for breakfast? lol, Michigan! Am I right?" (Also, the slight difference with Gendo's site was that the coach he was mocking was the coach of the program he roots for. Makes a little more sense!)

But I have come to realize that it was not just some weird trolling, rather nearly everyone on this forum has a strange visceral reaction to everything Harbaugh does. And I get it, he yells a lot, he says weird things, he complains too much, it's like Charlie Weis being really fat, easy target for everyone.

So go for it man, make as many posts on the issue as your heart desires. Here, I'll tee you up for one: Just the other day Jim Harbaugh's wife had their 7th child! Who the hell has 7 children anymore, especially at the age of 53. Is he a secret religious fanatic?

Jeez, he's one of our best players too. If I would have picked one of our players to do that it would have been noted Trump supporter Riley Bullough. Or Chris Frey because I'm suspicious of white LBs who play like psychos.

Other disqualifying factors: it's an all boys school and I can't ever see myself being in a position to afford 11K per year in tuition. Also apparently their slogan is "Act Manfully in Christ Jesus" which is just kind of weird and creepy.

I was looking up MSU's campus newsletter to see if there were more details about this. Come to find out that MSU's band director of 27 years sent text messages to a female student that creeped her right out of band and off of campus.

I'd like to think they won't Baylor this and the other investigation. We'll find out shortly if that's naive or not.

There was also the campus doctor who molested gymnasts or something.

The nice thing about being a fan who didn't go to the school is that I only feel deep shame about the football program and not my alma mater.

When has Indiana been relevant in CFB?

They beat the poo poo out of Penn State and Colorado proved to be a much tougher non-conference opponent than anticipated.

Quidditch is a cool concept sport that's pretty much exclusively played by non athletic kids. The only reason Texas is good at it is because they actually have athletic kids

It's a cool concept sport if you have magic powers. In real life it's a lovely version of handball where people carry sticks between their legs and then chase a guy.

Short North is the grown-up place to drink. German Village can get you some good dining options but isn't where you want to be late at night. Avoid going up High Street to campus the night before a game. Short North is walkable to the stadium if you're in decent shape.

I was in Short North last month and an old toothless woman offered to blow me and two of my friends for cigarettes. Also nobody knows how to park their cars and people are still wearing Harambe shirts.
