December 17, 200718 yr I am not sure what I am checking? You all have been so kind to exploit all of OSU's losses in the last two years.. (2) to two BCS teams one being the national champs. Your a Trinity fan right? That's like Trinity losing to Cincy St X and Colerain which they would, should Ohio school's label them a fraud because they play in KY like OSU plays in the Big ten? I say the the answer is no. :thumb::thumb:
December 17, 200718 yr Would you SEC lovers please give us a break. You are not nearly as good as you think you are. Let me remind you 19-5-1 all time against the all mighty SEC. In it's last seven bowl games against the so called greatest conference of all time, 5-2. It is because of this overrated conference we had to deal with Lloyd for the past 8 years. He owned you! How bad is that. LLoyd Carr owned the SEC!!!! You can't honestly think the Big Ten is as good as the SEC...
December 17, 200718 yr This stinks for WVU...but he is a really good coach. I hope WVU gets a good coach now.

IMO Terry Bowden is the front runner but who knows, his problems at Auburn (porbations) may prevent it. The WVU job would no doubt be a great job. A coach would practically own the entire state except for a few Marshall fans in and around Huntington,W.Va. Even the Marshall fans pull for WVU whe the two are not playing each other I believe. No professional teams, WVU is THE major draw in the entire state.
December 17, 200718 yr You can't honestly think the Big Ten is as good as the SEC... I am an Ohio State football fan but in no way is any conference better than the SEC. I guess I am in a rare group that are an OSU Football fan but a SEC fan as well.

December 17, 200718 yr Not a good hire in my opinion. How long will it take to get a QB to fit his system. Personnel wise this hire is the opposite end of the spectrum from what Michigan has and what Rodriguez does. Wonder how the Michigan faithful are taking this? The Michigan fans in my family are not too thrilled with this hire because of style of play, but beating OSU will calm them down. I doubt that Rodriquez can handle the pressure at Michigan myself.

How bad is that. LLoyd Carr owned the SEC!!!! UM's record against the SEC - 19-5-1. UM's record against Vandy 10-0-1 with 9 of those wins coming between 1905-1969. So besides Vandy they are 9-5 against the SEC.
December 18, 200718 yr This will be the next coach Tressel owns. Nah. Rodriguez pioneered the spread triple option, and we've all seen what Ohio State can't do against that playbook.
December 18, 200718 yr I just really like the hire of Coach Rod. I think that the spread option will be tough for teams to prep for, much like the old Nebraska triple option was. If you only see it once or twice a year in the Big 10, a team will struggle to stop it. It certainly helped Juice Williams and Illinois this season.
December 18, 200718 yr The hiring of Ron Zook at Illinois and now Rich Rodriguez at Michigan is the beginning of a big change in the Big Ten Conference. Speed, speed, speed. Spread, spread, spread. It is about time and it is beginning to happen as we speak. The day of big, slow football teams in the Big Ten is fading.
December 18, 200718 yr * The Big Ten was 2-1 vs. the SEC in this past season's bowl games. * The Big Ten is 8-6 vs. the SEC in bowl games over the last five years * The Big Ten is 13-13 vs. the SEC in bowl games over the last decade. * Over the last nine years of Bowl Championship Series games, the Big Ten leads all conferences with 15 berths while ranking second with eight victories. The SEC tops all leagues with nine wins and ranks second to the Big Ten with 13 appearances. * In the last 10 years the Big Ten has produced two national champions compared to three for the SEC. * In the last 15 years the Big Ten has produced five Heisman Trophy winners, more than any other conference. Over that same time span, the SEC has claimed one Heisman. * While the SEC ranked first among various recruiting rankings, the Big Ten ranked second or third nationally with four to five programs rated among the top 25 recruiting classes. * The Big Ten has a history of developing players - the most recent Heisman Trophy winner, Troy Smith, was one of the last players to receive a scholarship from Ohio State. * The Big Ten has slightly less than 300 players in the NFL while the SEC has slightly more than 300; Sixteen former Big Ten players earned Super Bowl rings with the Indianapolis Colts earlier this month. Not as dominating as some may think. Obviously this is from last year and you can add a heisman to the list for SEC. As for LLoyd he only won five bowl games while at Michigan. Guess who four were against. And not to mention this is supposed to be the prime time for SEC.
