I dont disrespect you i disrespect the things you were saying about AU throughout the year.  We knew it was going to be a struggle when we lost are starting quarterback, a great linebacker, tight end, one of our top recievers, and another reciever for 4 games.  All year you bashed us on how we werent the AU of old when we only had 8 seniors and maybe 10 juniors at the most.  And not all of these players played.  The coaching staff did great things when i was here.  My freshman class had 50 kids in it and we ended with 8.  They all left while coach scott was here after my freshman year.  I dont know how you can compare any AU team of old to now because they never accomplished anything that the teams I played on didnt.  They never beat any big time schools and never went to playoffs and won a game either.  The old teams might have played them close but they still lost and thats all that matters.  But i have no problem with you I was getting very angry throughout the year to hear AU alumni bash this team when they should know what we went through this year.  Are team made great strides and we have some great young players coming back.  If these kids stick around with all the stupid rules on campus being put in place they will be a solid team next year and will contend for confernce champs just like AU does every year.

P-town hero~
Danny, your right, I'm wrong.  AU has competed for a confrence title the past two seasons.  Your classes acomplishments are as impressive if not more then my classes.  Scores do not matter, W's and L's.  Great points.  Sorry, if I was disrespectful throughout the season.  I feel like my opinions were fair.  I was not aware of all the injuries.  Injuries are part of the game, but, geewiz, our team suffered a lot of them. 

Best to you and the AU family,

Just out of curiousity, what new rules are being added to the Aurora campus that would make kids even think about quitting the team? I only ask this because I know CUC can be very strict at times with the world's dumbest rules (THIS IS COLLEGE!!!) and also has a sharp eye out for their athletes which is a very large reason athletics does not succeed besides the huge amount of tuition that needs to be paid .


As a Notre Dame fan, I always dreamed of them joining the Big Ten being a midwest guy...it would be sweet. Would Wiess ever have a decision on this or anything to do with the decision or would that just be up to the university itself?

The rules on campus are not going to make the kids quit.  They are making it hard for students to live on campus.  The are pushing all of thier issues that happen on campus off campus.  If caught drinking during season or offseason your first offense is a warning and a $100 fine.  Second offense is a suspension of 10% of your games and third offense is 20% of games and fourth is your done.  Every time you are caught the fine goes up dramatically.  And you have to take some classes and i believe some communtity service.  The community service and classes i have no problem with but the fine is a little harsh.  College students cant really afford that.  If caught in the offseason everything carries over into the next year.  The students not in sports pay the fine and have to take classes.  And if you are 21 and  come to campus with alcohol on your breath and caught you are also guilty and pay the consequences i mentioned above.

It was a rough year for the spartans

Thank you to UCLA and haha to USC, have fun NOT playing for the national championship.

Now thats all I need is for Florida not to get the respect they deserve and the rematch will happen. If it does, I can't wait for people to whine about how it is a big ten championship.

Those rules for AU sound harsh all around. You can't go off campus to a bar (when 21) and come back with alcohol on your breath? That will soon make recruiting hard whether anyone thinks so or not, kids these days don't like those types of rules and even kids in high school are throwing parties and drinking heavily...it wasn't even like that when I was in high school but seeing my little bros in high school and hearing about it "wows" me. Good luck to AU with those rules and may they work well for the university.

If the BCS spits out Michigan number 2, then i cannot argue it.  And everyone will be very disappointed when it is not a good game, or as good as you all expect.  There is no reason to believe that we will c the same game like we did earlier.  I didnt think the first game was all that great, good, but not great.  If florida gets in, fine.

Thanks Gomer-

You gain karma power on your 200th post. You're getting close.

The purpose of karma  power was to give participants the ability to control the bahavior - positive power to people with worthwhile posts and negative karma if you just post nonsense. On some boards that use the same message board software, you lose your ability to post for some duration (or forever) if your karma level sinks too low.

   I left the "200" thing out to see if you were watching.

       If you`ve gone "under-ground" the sun will shine again on the Cheese
      Heads from Lakeland...............maybe.
      This post is for another reason. To wish you and yours a Merry
      Christmas or Happy Holidays ( have to be politically correct) 
      It`s been fun "toying' with you this year as it has been in the past.
      Nothing makes me smile more than when you get all blown out of
     shape about something i said about your babby cheese heads.
       Your retort is always welcomed.  Lame but welcomed.
     
    To the rest of the board (early or not)  hope you all have a Merry
    Christmas or a Happy Holiday Season, again to be politically correct.

    One last comment, this board has been very civil this year and for that all
    should be commended.

Mich gets the #2 spot......This time they beat Ohio State

[FatalImpact]

I stand corrected.........Lets Go GATORS beat OSU......Take 'Em Out

[Mr. Ypsi]

I stand corrected.........Lets Go GATORS beat OSU......Take 'Em Out

Nah, as a diehard Wolverine fan I want OSU to beat Florida by 3-4 TDs!  THAT should shut up Urban Meyer as to who deserved to be in Glendale to face the Bucknuts!

Then when UM kicks USC's ass (if UCLA could hold 'em to 9, UM might shut 'em out!) it will be clear to EVERYONE who the two best teams are.  And since the showdown was AT OSU, some of us will still be suggesting that #1 on a neutral field was MEEECHIGAN.

[Fartcus Smellwood]

and again, another disappointment....let's go buckeyes, show everyone who is number 1 and why florida SHOULD NOT be number 2.

[bufan]

Mr Ypsi-

  I think you were playfully saying that Michigan should shut out USC since UCLA held them to 9.  That logic is not very logical at all.  And while I will be rooting for OSU, they wont win by 3-4 TD's.  Florida has guys on scholarship too.  And many pro prospects. 
  I dont wanna hear anything about a neutral field.  You play the games on your schedule.
  Mind you its 50 days until the game practically(for OSU) so we will likely not see the same dominant team.  I know it sucks but thats the way it is.  If there is one thing Ive learned about football its that comparing scores means nothing at all.  Its all about matchups and adjustments.

My Bowl Selections, even though its early
OSU 33, Florida 24
Louisville 41, Wake Forest 35
LSU 27, ND 13
Oklahoma 34, Boise State 24
USC 28, Michigan 17
