Big Ten May Become Big 14, And The SEC

CaptStu — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 17:07:53 -0000

According to CNNSI's "Truth & Rumors" column, the Big Ten may make a push for 14, maybe even 16 teams if or when they expand. This plan sounds very progressive and possibly needed by this conference to stack up to the strength of the SEC, Big 12 and maybe the PAC 10. My question to the community is this: If the Big Ten pushes this far, will the SEC have to "counter-attack"? If so, which teams would we want to join?

Would Clemson, either FSU or Miami, Louisville, Missouri, Georgia Tech and others be good fits or even interested in a new super-conference?

Florida's Carlos Dunlap Charged With DUI

From the article:

Junior defensive end Carlos Dunlap, 20, was arrested at 3:25 a.m. by Gainesville Police Officer Robert Rogers at the signal light at Southwest Second Avenue and Southwest 34th Street.

According to police, Rogers was dispatched to the area to check out reports of a reckless driver in a Chrysler. Rogers said that when he found the car matching the description, it was stopped although the traffic light was green. Rogers said he watched the light cycle through several times but the car remained stopped.

When Rogers approached the car, he said he saw Rogers alone in the car and apparently asleep while at the wheel.

Mountain West Conference To Expand and Add Boise State, Fresno and Nevada?

"These rumors are everywhere out of the nations capital. There are negotiations between the people for the BCS as well as the Mountain West Conference. If the Mountain West wants to get a guaranteed spot in the BCS they must expand. The expansion would include Boise State, Nevada-Reno and Fresno State. Make it a power twelve team conference."

Going To ATL? What Are Your Plans?

CaptStu — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 19:52:01 -0000

The tickets arrived. The room is booked. The trip to Atlanta will take place next Friday. My question to the community is who all is going? And maybe more importantly, what is everyone doing before the game on Saturday? Last year's Clemson game was a mix for us. We took in some of the GameDay coverage and hit random bars/restaurants around the Dome, which was a pain, considering the number of people in attendance.

Optimally, I would like to keep a low-key approach to the day. Maybe do the GameDay thing for a while, and then find some place where we can sit back, relax, drink a few (or more) beers and enjoy a day of televised games. Any recommendations?

Saw this over at Gawker.com. The article itself is pretty stupid, but the pictures... Well, we know the dude is not a real Alabama fan.
