Oh yeah, and we also just stole a 4 star CB from Penn State:

http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/news?slug=uwire-toutedcornerbackislateaddi&prov=uwire&type=lgns

(CSTV U-WIRE) NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J.—When the Rutgers football team reported for day one of training camp today, the Scarlet Knights had one more in their numbers than what was expected a week ago.

After a series of academic problems with Penn State, four-star cornerback Darrell Givens has joined the Rutgers roster and will participate fully with the team at the start of tomorrow’s practice.

“We have a late addition in Darrell Givens,” said head coach Greg Schiano. “There has been a lot of speculation about all that’s gone on and all I can tell you, with the laws being what they are, is that if you can do the math, you’re not allowed to come to a Big East school and play football if you’re not a qualifier. He’ll be able to practice and play.”

Givens, 6-foot-1 and 180 pounds, is rated the No. 6 cornerback on ESPN.com. He joins an already highly touted defensive secondary recruiting class including Logan Ryan, Abdul Smith and Duron Harmon.

Woo go Rutgers

and go Kentucky, for some reason I have grown fond of the Wildcats football program.

if Rutgers goes 11-1 ill never say one thing about that school ever again

its not happening

I think the realistic record is 10-2 (with a loss to either Maryland or West Virginia), but I think we will beat at least one of the two.

West Virginia being more realistic, IMO.

But, like I said. Trying to be an optimist.

Single game tickets are onsale this year for the first time since their lone good season a few years ago. I know I'm already going to the Pitt game, anyone else eyeing up any games?

Pitt was my choice as well as WV.

It could possibly be a big year provided we find a QB. hopefully Natale can step up. One thing I will say is that I don't want to see Lovelace as the starter. Heck maybe Savage starts as a true freshman. who knows. If we solve QB we will be good. Our ground game is a three headed beast playing behind one of the best lines in college football. Tim Brown is a blazer at WR and Mason Robinson is also an extremely fast kid but i don't know how he'll take to WR.

9-3 seems about right with the right QB. Cincy will probably take us down. We always struggle against UConn and WV so one of those will beat us and Maryland is tough.

I think we beat UConn. They lost some top end talent in the draft and they weren't that deep to begin with. I think they will have a big drop off this year.

I might be way off, but I think that we should definitely beat UConn and we'll beat at least one of WV and Maryland.

I hope so. Their road schedule is very forgiving. Only road games that can give them trouble are Maryland and Connecticut.

But 11-1 is pushing it. I'd be thrilled with 9-3. Especially with the uncertainties at QB and WR.

Can this be changed to the College Football thread? I like Rutgers but I'm sure we'd like to discuss other teams like...

NO!! The rest of college football is terrible. Only Rutgers matters.

We should probably just combine this with the other football thread.

I went to high school with Mason Robinson. I didn't know they switched him to wide reciever though. Didn't he split time in the back field last season?

Well, Pryor is a complete ****ing idiot so his brain doesn't work like a normal person's would.

There's no way Rutgers loses to Cincy. They lost almost the entire core from last year. Rutgers could easily go undefeated but they also could easily go 7-5. Nobody really knows what to expect from this team..alot of question marks. If they are answered, they could be awesome. If they aren't, this season could be ugly.

Holy ****. That looks like 80k+.:amazed:

Over here it would be more like 80. Nobody cares about University sports.

Rutgers ice hockey is terrible...the roller hockey teams are good...

...very good, I played 3 years on their development team. Usually the team is ****ing amazing, then Regionals comes...

Last season I think they had something like 1 loss and 1 tie, and won the rest, and then lost in the second round of Regionals.

Holy ****. That looks like 80k+.:amazed:

Over here it would be more like 80. Nobody cares about University sports.

Funny thing is, Pryor lost to PSU on his own turf.. Hopefully PSU wins again this season.

Hopefully that google maps link works.

So on the left along Campus road, after passing Sutphen Road and headed toward the circle, Rutgers thought it genius to add a "Welcome Center" into that lot.......right in the middle of tailgating territory.

I fully intend to leave really colorful post-it notes on the door for RU management's decision to put it right there, considering their big seller is football and it's eating up useful and valuable tailgating room.

Haha...leave it to a Flyers fan to come onto this board and kill this thread.:sarcasm:

no, they're whoring out their home games to Notre Dame and USC. I guess booking USC is a coup, so whatever, but giving Notre Dame "neutral site" home games is a ****ing farce.

they're a B-level program now. I'm happy Rutgers didn't give into that ******** and they booked Miami and Penn State in the future without having to give up their dignity.

**** Notre Dame, they lost to 'Cuse at home last season.

Interesting: RU Football radio broadcasts are finally making the move to South Jersey and Philly.

After a injury riddled college career, he is joining that new football leaugue that J.P. Losman went to..

I heard the UFL.

I heard the UFL.

Ironically, Mike Teel had a better college career at RU than Brian Toal had at BC.
They played at DBP together and I believe remain close friends.

Speaking of Teel, it seems like he had a solid camp with the Seahawks and has impressed so far in pre-season. Go Teel! I always thought he had it in him to be a NFL QB.

As long as he has a competent O-Line, he can be successful. If he doesn't, and Seattle doesn't, his mobility problems become a big problem.

But it's not like he'll be seeing the field this year anyway, barring injury.

Shame with Toal too because he had a great freshman year. Then injuries happened and he was never the same.

Still was the best high school football player that I've gotten a chance to see play.

Also a shame to see Brian Leonard being a prime candidate to be cut from the Bengals from watching Hard Knocks. Admittedly, I did not know that he was cut by St. Louis. I hope to see him to do well wherever he ends up.

Oh, obviously. It's just kind of cool. A guy that no one really thought had any future (outside of Rutgers people -- and even some of us didn't think anything of him) is getting to prove some wrong. Sure, I'm not going to write him into the starting position yet, but I always thought that his leadership, drive and winning ways had to be worth something.

He's Drew Bledsoe in terms of mobility, though. That's for sure.

he might make the team. I would guess it would be tied at 50/50 with practice squad.

he really shouldn't be in the NFL, but really anybody can be the backup clipboard guy, so I guess if they feel he has any upside, he'll stick. I'm still stunned he was drafted.

Teel could definitely be an NFL QB. If he didn't **** the bed the first few games last season he might have been a first day pick. He has the measurables that NFL scouts love.

million dollar arm, ten cent brain. I know. if you mean NFL QB in the Andre Woodson "I'm never going to participate and god help us if I have to" way, yeah, fine.

but as a guy who would play a down because the coaches *wanted him to*, no, never. he didn't just **** the bed in the first few games, he pretty much singlehandedly lost them, and that's why it's mystifying to me that he was drafted at all.

Does anyone know a good site(s) for general streaming sports games, more specifically College Football? I'm at a college now and besides the regional ESPN/ABC games for Penn State I won't be getting their first 3 games on the BTN and any other games that might be on the BTN (Indiana?).

Thanks a lot.

Teel reminds me of how I felt about Chris Rix

He would make you say ,"wow" one play.. Then you would want to jump through the tv and rip his head off on the next play, because of some bonehead move

Leonard wasn't cut from the Rams..he was traded to the Bengals for a draft pick. I'm not sure which round though.

No he was traded for Orien Harris back in May. Last year he had 2 shoulder surgery that ruined last year for him. I really hope he catches on with a team. He's in a tough place though. He isn't a traditional FB and he isn't fast or strong enough to be halfback. Personally I think he would be best used in the passing game and as a spare runner.

I couldn't help myself.

Apparently Schiano is keeping the starting QB a secret:

http://espn.go.com/blog/bigeast/post/_/id/2021/schiano-keeps-quarterback-decision-a-secret

Rutgers released its new depth chart today, but there are no answers on the quarterback question.

Dom Natale, Jabu Lovelace and Tom Savage are all listed atop the chart at the position, separated by "ORs." Head coach Greg Schiano says he won't reveal who the starter is for Monday's game against Cincinnati, though he knows who it will be.

"I have a starter; I'm just not making it public yet," he said. " We know. I think we have a pretty good idea of what the plan is going to be. How it unfolds in the game is different. I think some of that will be determined on how it goes.

Lovelace is more of a runner than a passer who can be used in special packages. So the real question is whether Natale, the fifth-year senior, or Savage, the true freshman, will take the first snaps. If one starts and struggles to move the team down the field, the other might come in.

I think it's Savage.

Possibly going to the game Monday.

I think it's Savage.

It will probably be Natale. he's a fifth year senior who transferred for Michigan State. He'll probably get the first couple of games and see how it goes from there. Savage will probably get a few snaps depending on how the games are going. As for Lovelace I don't expect to see him playing in the actual QB spot. He'll be in for some misdirection plays and some trickery.

Rather then making a general college football thread.


GO PSU!

Savage will probably get a few snaps depending on how the games are going. As for Lovelace I don't expect to see him playing in the actual QB spot. He'll be in for some misdirection plays and some trickery.

I'm thinking that too. Natale will start, Jabu returns to do direct snaps (most likely, maybe they'll use him for a few passing plays, don't know if he improved in the offseason but it would confuse the hell out of the other team's defense), and i think Savage will see a few snaps later in the game, depending on the score and Natale's performance.

I DO think that Savage obviously needs experience, but I think he'll start vs. Howard, an easy team to beat, unless Natale completely unloads on Cincy.

do you know willis?

willis wiggin? haha yea we've went to school together since like 5th grade. he lives on my campus too

Lamarcus Blount, Juco. Juco, Lamarcus Blount.

if you're going to do the "I've turned over a new leaf" thing, you probably shouldn't go on a psychotic post-game rampage

Wow, after the Boise-Oregon game ended a Boise St player mockingly hit the Oregon running back Legarrette Blount on the chest...Blount punched him in the face. Then, on the way out, the fans were mocking Blount and he tried to go into the stands but the Oregon assistants restrained him.

I'm not happy with his behavior as he has the african american version of my name!

I'm pissed I turned the game off before the end. That is freakin ridiculous! I've never seen anything like that.

In all fairness, that Boise State player did initiate it.

Yes sir. 11,000 seats. Everything inside is supposed to be done. I passed by it earlier today and they're still finishing up the cosmetics on the exterior part facing River Road on the expansion part. Should be nice. They actually finished the seats themselves over a month ago.

Apparently the student section has been moved to the new seats on the endzone so that as the buses drop off the students across River Road they can just go straight to their seats.

Oregon has suspended Blount for the rest of the season.

That was a huge recruiting game for them and they don't wanna ruin it any more than it has to.

Good man. A Canes fan and a Devils fan. I was at Wide Right III and the game in Tallahassee where we muffed the snap on the late field goal attempt.

I never went to Rutgers, I am a fan because they are a true Jersey college.

Over the past couple years I have adopted Kentucky as a favorite college football team. I just enjoy watching them, they won me over.

Oh they have a hockey program too.

Holy crap Navy was 3 yards away from tying tOSU..

UNI is only down 1 to Iowa.

Ohio State still sucks balls.

This should really be renamed the College Football thread.

Navy/OSU was entertaining.

Nice to see Cuse playing well even though it is against Minnesota. Paulus looks legit which is hilarious.

Let's go Gophers.

Can't wait for the Georgia game. Love my Dawgs.

Gophers :facepalm:

Iowa should be embarrassed. Northern Iowa worked them all game.

Can't believe they blocked the FG!

I'm glad to see tOSU and Iowa win. I want them to be ranked as high as possible when they play @ Happy Valley. I don't know why all the PSU fans @ JustinTV were rooting for OSU and Iowa to lose.

Gophers have Syracuse by the balls.

College OT rules are stupid

Wow what a run by Carter

Paulus didn't look too legit there. Love the announcer saying "well, that'll come with experience..." uh huh, the guy's gonna play 12 games at most and if they tank, they'll cut the cord on him.

I agree. My only issue is putting the ball at the 25. But otherwise, it's great.

No it is not. The College rules completely take away the special teams aspect of the game and marginalize the importance of defense.

You can also say the current rules take away the offensive aspect of your team if you lose the coin toss and your defense can't stop them

Well, I guess you can always take the wind if you win the toss :sarcasm:

My friend just got us tickets to the Nov. 7th game from his cousin..I'm sure you know who they play on that day

I can't wait

Well the defense is part of your team, stop them. No need to hand out a mulligan because your defense sucks. Football isn't like baseball where you can't score on defense. You can take possession away by an interception or forcing a fumble. And if your special teams works one could have a chance at a safety.

Also nothing says you have to kick to them if you lose the toss, if you don't have faith in your defense try an onside kick.

Yeah you're right...instead of kicking the ball 60-70 yards down-field and having similar confidence in your defense to stop them and work field position, instead you should kick an onside-kick, which has a success rate of probably less than 30% thus putting the team about 30 yards out from FG range for a lot of kickers.

Makes sense.

I'd still much prefer an OT where either the other team has one drive to score, or NCAA style but they have to drive from their OWN 40 to either enter FG range or go for the TD.

Thats sick. Last time they played in Happy Valley I was at a Devils game ironically - opening night of the Rock I think. That was a sad display, Morelli was a bust.

But we all remember 2005 in the Valley - hopefully this year is memorable as well.

Woohoo, my alma mater (William & Mary) beat UVA tonight! Soooo excited, it's gonna be a great season!

:tmi: Please don't bring that up. I've been trying to forget about that loss. We were coming off the big win over Michigan State setting us up for what should have been the first step in our improvement only to follow it up with that disaster. Ruined our season.

As for that Nova loss I still found losing to Temple more embarrassing. Honestly no team should ever lose to Temple. Nova was one game away from playing in the D1-2A championship. Of course we only won one game that year so I think it's fair to say most subdivision teams would have beaten us. God we were terrible.

I think the most demeaning thing about that era was our rivalry with Buffalo. and not the mediocre Buffalo everyone knows from today.

Buffalo would try to get their one win of the season from us while we'd try to do that same. It was pathetic. At least Army was always there to beat up on.:laugh:

The ACC teams got pummeled this weekend. :amazed:

Time to cook up some Bearcat tomorrow. R U!!!!!!!!!:yo:

Miami Muff!

Ugh..Wide Rights :shakehead Janikowski gets joked in practice anytime he hits a field goal wide right

Miami got the best of FSU this game, but I still remember this hit like it was yesterday (not the smartest or cleanest hit either)

Haha except for that hit of course. Man it sucks what happened to him. He was such an awesome player to watch.

I can't wait for tomorrow man. Both teams are on their way back to resurgence.

Can't wait til the season starts up tomorrow vs Cincy, had season tix for a few years but had to give them up last season. Going to the Howard , FIU and South Florida games.

GO RU!

Tomorrow's game is huge for RU, they need to find a way to win with their defense probably.
Should be a crazy atmosphere, I am lucky to have a ticket.

Got my self four tickets for the game tomorrow. Woohoo!

haha but I'm booked. Best part was that they were all free. My dad was part of the construction team that has been working 12 hour days at the stadium for the last couple of weeks to get the construction finished for Monday so they gave all the workers who wanted tickets 4 free. Sweet deal for me.

Dam.....................I am not buying this whole sold out thing I am sure there are still pairs that could be bought.

I dunno man, it's a divisional game, first of the year, my guess is it's probably sold out.

A couple days ago there were tickets available on the website..There are tickets available all over Craigslist at face value

I think it will sell out, but you can get tickets if you want them

Maybe but there will be open seats especially the tickets that scalpers couldn't sell. You probably can't tell were they are but they exist lol.

That was not a fun game to be at.

So, the team better win today. We are 5 1/2 point favorites as far as I've seen. Let's Go Knights!!!!

Lets Go Rutgers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What the **** is with all this misdirection ****? Run downhill with Martinek.

Touchdown Martinek!

This is really starting to get annoying lol. However, they got all the way down for a TD WOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what a drive by rutgers 20 plays 2 4th down conversions

Now if they can only play D

they don't look that good. if Natale has to get cues from the sideline, they might as well play Savage. if it takes 20 plays to score, you're not doing something right. lol.

Who cares how many plays it take as long as you score. It eats up the time in the mean time.

Who cares how many plays it take as long as you score. It eats up the time in the mean time.

because you're thisclose to not scoring a TD on multiple occasions. and you kill your o-line. see: Cowboys vs. Giants 2007 playoffs.

CB's playing cushion = fail at any level.

See last year's Broncos.

Defense is a sieve so far

LOL...that WR had the first down if he walked...instead he tries to stretch it and doesn't get enough.

Tony Pike looks like trailer trash.

Pike just got his world rocked

because you're thisclose to not scoring a TD on multiple occasions. and you kill your o-line. see: Cowboys vs. Giants 2007 playoffs.

Doesn't bother me as long as they score.

Natale has happy feet.

Doesn't bother me as long as they score.

and there's the flip side. this offense sucks without gimmick plays.

Awesome pick

and there's the flip side. this offense sucks without gimmick plays.

Its called being creative :laugh:...............As long as there isn't to many of them.

Natale ****ing sucks. Get him out of there.

Gave the ball right back :shakehead

Tom Natale blows.

Its called being creative :laugh:...............As long as there isn't to many of them.

no, it's literally the only way they can move the ball. 2 yards to Martinek, 2 yards to Martinek, ugly pass.

they are going to get destroyed. it's like watching Dan Reeves' Giants offense teamed up with Tim Lewis' soft zone.

*Dominic

Well what did u think would happen with very little experience on field.

http://www2.pictures.gi.zimbio.com/Seattle+Seahawks+Minicamp+8wdWxI9cNRQl.jpg

Hai guys

Well what did u think would happen with very little experience on field.

play the kid. if you're going to have a 5th year who looks like a Freshman, play the kid. Schiano is too loyal to his guys.

just pull the plug on Natale at halftime and give Savage this half and the two walkovers to get ready for MD. because they're not winning this game.

Well what did u think would happen with very little experience on field.

As a 23 year old senior, perhaps the ability to hit a wide open target?'

The guy can't throw a tight spiral and has a noodle for an arm.

At the same time if you plan on winning the Big East this game is almost a must, put in Savage.

lol They're booing already. Only in New Jersey.

And just as I say that they completely justify it by Natale taking a sack like a *****. Get rid of the ball jackass.

At the same time if you plan on winning the Big East this game is almost a must, put in Savage.

they can't get a stop. they're going to get blown out unless the offense shows something.

Natale might have the worst footwork of any QB I've ever seen.

lol They're booing already. Only in New Jersey.

they should. don't sell people a line of ****. the team looks awful.

Natale might have the worst footwork of any QB I've ever seen.

Agreed

they should. don't sell people a line of ****. the team looks awful.

What line of ****? I doubt anyone could seriously expect this team to compete for the Big East with the players we lost on the offensive side of the ball. Sure, the O-line is real solid, but you need some gamechangers. We have none. I say throw Savage in there and see what happens, but still wouldn't be expecting much more than were seeing right now.

Nearest defender was in Princeton on that one

Schiano has no clue

rutgers lol im loving this

that doesn't explain Tony Pike putting 500 on them.

they keep selling the BCS line of **** and then coming out and ******** the bed to open the season. 3 years in a row.

they look freaking awful. at least last year, the D played well while Teel ****ed up.
they look pathetic on both sides of the ball. if not for Cincy coming out and calling an inside handoff and a dumb screen into soft coverage, they wouldn't have a stop.

Well, I can agree with that I guess. We're making Tony Pike look like Dan Marino here. Embarrasing.

It looks like they dragged Gilyard off the streets of Newark and threw a Cinci uniform on him.

Keep throwing to this Sanu kid.

lulz

Alright, if Natale is out there in the second half I'm just going to loff.

and it does look like they had talent to the outside. they don't have a back worth ****, but they have talent to the outside and a line, so... who does it come down to?

like that brilliant decision there.

cut the ****ing cord. please.

'nother intercept

Haha keep clapping Schiano

****ing pathetic.

Meanwhile next weeks opponent, Howard is saying to themselves "We can beat these guys"

You can't run these retarded delayed blitzes against the spread. Run the 34 and hope for some pressure with the line, which also sucks.

Rutgers is a pretty solid team. BCS bound.

Yeah, get back out there Natale. *slaps him on the butt*

this looks like the late 90's. and guess what fans, get ready for those games against Howard, FIU and Texas "whoever" that took money to show up.

If they can score quickly before the half it is still a contest.

HAHAHAHAHA this is awesome

HAHAAAAAAAAAAA

x

HAHAHAHAHA this is awesome

Nova can probably take 'em

Savage plz

Nova can probably take 'em




haha hell yea! pumped about Nova football this year

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f47/twk826/mother-of-god-super-troopers.jpg

well, at least that should be the end of that. Natale can tell his kids one day about how he played one half of college football. and was the worst QB in Rutgers history.

In a complete reversal, I completely support the boos...

Looks like next week is going to be a real nail-biter to get back to .500!

I glanced at the DII rankings and Nova, W&M, UNI should be ranked towards the top after this week. Temple was ranked in the 80s for D1, not a bad win at all.

New Brunswick tonight:

oBab8HwACZY

after watching that drive, I'm not exactly sure what Schiano saw that made him pick Natale.

Forget about Natale. This defense is dreadful.

Wowwwwww I just turned on the game. **** that.

well that was disappointing lol.

I would like to thank Rutgers for making me feel better about my Terrapins this week. While they lost by this current margin Saturday night at least they have the on the West Coast, 10 pm kick-off, against a top team excuse. It wasn't at home against an unranked conference team.

The biggest waste of a spirited, drunken crowd ever. I've never been so depressed while drunk.

Hey Greg, how about showing different looks on defense once in awhile.

I'm in a big sports rut right now.

The Mets suck.
Rutgers isn't making me too excited anymore.
The 49ers will probably be mediocre

The only true winning team i like is the Devils, and they haven't been without their share of terrible moments in the past two seasons.

Woooo Seminoles!

This stupid Kenny Chester crap is ruining the game mood

This still made my day.

Go to 8:10. A Rutgers fan said this to a couple of Cincinnati passerbys at the tailgate. Made me spit out my drink. The guy looked like him too.

Considering it's Miami, they sure have some ugly ****in cheerleaders.

And to think RU was actually FAVORED by some to win??? Lol...I can't believe I wasted an afternoon watching this. Nice way to open the season on national broadcast.

:cry:

Lucky you. I may have seen both goals but I put my head down with two seconds left and walked out, I didn't plan on seeing any of the celebration itself (though I made the mistake of staying for it two years ago when Lundqvist did his victory lap).

As far as Rutgers...how are they ever supposed to be a BCS team when Cinci and West Virginia freaking own them?

And to think RU was actually FAVORED by some to win??? Lol...I can't believe I wasted an afternoon watching this. Nice way to open the season on national broadcast.

Really? I mean, you still watch the Rangers right?

I kid, I kid...this is a totally neutral thread. I don't know how no one saw that coming to some degree. Well, at least in the spread. Cinci had a lot of questions coming in because of all they lost, but RU is an absolute mess.

This is more or less going to be a live and learn year for them. But I do think they can get back to contending in the Big East if the guys they have can live up to their potential long-term.

They've recruited pretty well, so they do have talent in there, they just need to develop it now.

I have not paid attention at all to RU's offseason...all I have heard was that they should be able to contend for the Big East and they had some new talented recruits. I'm as disappointed as you guys, I went to RU for undergrad.

:facepalm:

at least I was at a bar on the beach to watch that one so I could go outside and enjoy the scenery.

Yeah, but a lot of that talk was simply from looking at a team on paper. They have endured a lot of losses over the last two seasons, it takes time to build a cohesive team and maybe over the season they'll improve, but from what I was able to see today, I'm thinking it'll take most of the season and I think they're ****ed at QB right now.

Great screen name.

Hahaha thanks, good call.

haha yea, think he meant DI-AA
Yeah, and I still think of it as I-AA, I can't get used to calling it FCS instead. This should be a great season, the CAA is going to be one tough conference.

Jacory Harris is the truth.

I don't mean to be sexist, but I ****ing hate 99.999% of female sports reporters. I'd much rather a broad that doesn't have "the look" but knows what the **** she's talking about than some stupid ass image they try and have for most of them.

Erin Andrews has some nice cans and one hell of a pooper though.

Yeah, and I still think of it as I-AA, I can't get used to calling it FCS instead. This should be a great season, the CAA is going to be one tough conference.

Why did they even change that anyway...did someone in the PC police think I-AA sounded too demeaning or was it just change for change's sake?

Erin Andrews has some nice cans and one hell of a pooper though.

I won't dispute that. But...she also at least comes off like she knows her **** and doesn't seem all mechanical like the rest of them, despite her appearance.

She's the .0001% that I actually like.

I also wish they'd stop making them ask stupid ****ing questions during interviews. I think that makes them all worse than they really are.

and then she went and ****ed up my compliment by ****ing up her entire sideline report. :facepalm:

haha yea, think he meant DI-AA

It's not even called DI-AA anymore.

There are two parts to Division one, FBS, and FCS.


The old Div I-A is the Football Bowl Subdivision and the old Div I-AA is the Football Championship Subdivision.

I don't mean to be sexist, but I ****ing hate 99.999% of female sports reporters. I'd much rather a broad that doesn't have "the look" but knows what the **** she's talking about than some stupid ass image they try and have for most of them.

That's why I love Kelli Johnson of Comcast Sports Net Mid-Atlantic. Super Hot, and knows more about football than I ever will.
