See, that's what happens when you get a second rate education, you don't understand what people say. Cannuck must have been educated in the UK too, he admits he doesn't understand people.
Yeah, I've been wondering if one of these guys hasn't been passing himself off as the other! -

Re: Why College Football Should NOT Be Banned
Another reason why college football should not be banned - it pioneered having black athletes thereby giving opportunities not allowed in other walks of life:

The most meaningful game in the Minnesota-Iowa rivalry decided a national title and showed a nation black players could lead a team.

THE Game!

I am watching this year's match and have continually watched the series since the early 1960s - GREAT rivalry.

Alabama-Missouri for the SEC championship is on at the moment. In all honesty, I think the Show Me Stater's are going to be over matched but let's hope for a good close game.
I've seen about 50 Army-Navy games over the years and am hard pressed to say which was best.
But if you twisted my arm, I'd probably say the 2000 match as Army beat Navy 30-28 was the most memorable. Both teams were very weak that year but they played this match with great intensity. There's an old saying among these teams that even if you have a losing record in a given year, so long as you beat the other team, it's a winning season.
Army 30, Navy 28

Allie Sherman, 91, RIP:

Big college and pro football hero in NYC.
At first he made some great trades which put the Giants into the playoffs and championships. But then he made very bad trades which put them in last place.
Still he was a good promoter of the sport.

Ohio State > Oregon for the National Championship
THE Ohio State as its students prefer to call it, won by using their third string QB. While there some turnovers, the young QB showed amazing composure and leadership in his leadership of the Buckeyes. Good coaching by Urban Meyers who won his third championship (two at Florida).

No doubt that Meyers decision to hire Chris Ash as co-defensive coordinator had a great impact. I was surprised that he was given this designation despite this being his first year at the school.

The want to ban college football not as bad as Canada some communities want
to ban toboggans yup too many people are having fun can't have that. As for
college ball it generates a lot of money for education and for jobs in the cities
where the game is played. There is nothing wrong with the blitz its like taking
body checking out of kids hockey. Sure take it out but when the kid gets to the
NHL he gets hurt right off. Leave things alone if ain't broke don't fix it.

The once great Syracuse football and basketball programs have been in decline for a while, now.
And it is getting worse as the NCAA has imposed sanctions for rules violations:
NCAA report: Jim Boeheim suspended for nine games; 12 scholarships lost over four years | syracuse.com
NCAA report: Jim Boeheim suspended for nine games; 12 scholarships lost over four years
The NCAA today ordered Syracuse basketball coach Jim Boeheim suspended for nine games as a result of multiple infractions over the past eight years.
SU basketball and football were both placed on five years' probation, according to the 94-page report.
The NCAA ordered SU basketball to lose three scholarships a year for four years, or 12 total, the NCAA ruled.
The NCAA ordered Syracuse to return to the NCAA all money it has received from the former Big East Conference revenue-sharing for its appearances in the 2011, 2012 and 2013 NCAA basketball tournament
Chancellor Kent Syverud said the school may appeal: "The university is considering whether it will appeal certain portions of the decision. Coach Boeheim may choose to appeal the portions of the decision that impact him personally. Should he decide to do so, we would support him in this step."
The NCAA, in a news release, criticized Boeheim not keeping control of his program.
"During the 10-year period of violations, the head basketball coach did not promote an atmosphere of compliance within his program and did not monitor the activities of those who reported to him as they related to academics and booster involvement," the release said.
It appears the scholarship ban will keep Syracuse from adding Rochester talent Thomas Bryant. The NCAA said three scholarships would be taken away for four seasons from 2015-16 and 2018-19. Syracuse can delay the lost scholarships for a season but only if the school has already executed financial aid agreements with the players.
From 2001 to early 2009, the school did not follow its own written policies and procedures for students who tested positive for banned substances, the NCAA found. Syracuse had a written policy; however, Boeheim and athletic director Daryl Gross admitted they did not follow the policy, the NCAA found.
SU imposed a postseason ban last month for the current season.
The NCAA, in today's report, said it accepted Syracuse's self-imposed postseason ban but noted that it did not reduce the school's other penalties because it occurred after the hearing in front of the committee on infractions.
The NCAA did not impose any further postseason bans.
The violations go back to 2001, the NCAA ruled.
The school received the report this morning.
The penalties do not include SU forfeiting its 2003 national basketball championship.
The SU basketball program will also have to forfeit an unknown number of wins from the seasons of 2004-05, 2005-06, 2006-07, 2010-11 and 2011-12.
Last month, SU self-imposed a ban on postseason play for its men's basketball team in anticipation of the NCAA's findings.
The penalty announced today was the second in 23 years the NCAA has imposed against SU over violations in the men's basketball program. In 1992, the NCAA placed SU on two years' probation, imposed restrictions on basketball recruiting and banned some postseason play over recruiting rules violations.
In 1995, the NCAA stripped SU of its 1990 national championship in lacrosse for violations that included providing extra benefits to players.
In the current investigation, the NCAA concluded its investigation into SU's athletic department at a hearing in October before the organization's Committee on Infractions. Football coach Scott Schafer and basketball coach Jim Boeheim attended portions of the closed-door hearing.
The saddest part being that many innocent students who complied with all the rules will get caught up in this mess.
