It Wasn’t a Good Saturday in the Big East
College Football September 5th. 2010, 1:45pmThree non-conference for the Big East Saturday: South Florida over Stony Brook, West Virginia over Coastal Carolina, and Syracuse over Akron. And now, the bad news: Louisville lost to Kentucky, Cincinnati lost to Fresno, and Connecticut lost to Michigan. Granted, the latter two were on the road, and both Big East teams were underdogs … throw in Pittsburgh’s loss Thursday at Utah and the league wrapped up the opening weekend without a legit win. On the bright side … at least nobody lost to Jacksonville State.

UConn may have been a Vegas dog, but all the talk was about how they were going to beat Michigan. People on here were questioning why UConn was a dog.
UConn just laid down for Michigan and RR’s gang of midgets with forged transcripts.

at least nobody lost to Jacksonville State.
Hey, hey, hey, that’s just not a nobody! That is Ole Miss, a long time, classic and impressive nobody with the track record to prove it.

You can probably write this post every Sunday from here on out. Expect more disappointment from this conference all year. Gotta think that the NCAA is going to reconsider their AQ status.
September 5th, 2010 at 2:00 PM
There was talk of this before a few years back, especially loud after that meh Pitt team went to a BCS bowl and got smoked by Utah.
Then the Big East had a big year with Louisville, WVU and Rutgers being top teams.
I think there is some rule in the BCS about revocation of AQ status – I think it has something to do with how high your conference champ finishes in the BCS standings, they can’t finish below a certain number for a certain number of years.
September 5th, 2010 at 2:02 PM
I doubt the NCAA reconsiders their AQ status. They still meet the criteria, and three out of conference losses on the opening Saturday of the season won’t change that.

John McEnroe thinks 3 Americans will be in the top 10 at the end of the year, and none of them will be Roddick.

John McEnroe thinks 3 Americans will be in the top 10 at the end of the year, and none of them will be Roddick.
outside of Roddick and Blake, I can’t name a single US men’s tennis player, although I know one of them is a 6’10″ idiot who can’t return a serve.
September 5th, 2010 at 2:12 PM
ha. That’s my boy John Isner. Yeah McEnroe said it would be him, Mardy Fish and Sam Querrey. Mathematically it makes sense but I don’t think any of them are among the top 10 players in the world.
September 5th, 2010 at 2:14 PM
I just looked up the current rankings. Those guys are ranked 20-22 as of the start of the US Open. Seems slightly far fetched, unless he means the end of next year.
I remember Isner from that awful long match where whoever was serving automatically won the game, and the longest rally was 5 shots.

Twins called up Ben Revere, really excited. Watch out Denard.
September 5th, 2010 at 2:23 PM
The BEast is an embarrassment. So is the Pac 10.
September 5th, 2010 at 2:24 PM
Weeze, you watching this old timers game? Kinda entertaining.
September 5th, 2010 at 2:25 PM
Big East petitioning Ole Miss, Buffalo, Duke & Xavier to join next year for football and they can have the first super-conference. Super shitty conference.
September 5th, 2010 at 2:26 PM
They should get Temple back, improve the quality of the league

I don’t know how to do the “strikethrough” so somebody please convert the quote to “at least nobody didn’t score a touchdown against South Dakota State.”
/Turner Gill’d
//but hey–he doesn’t weigh 400 pounds and yell at people

Big XII would’ve been undefeated this week if it wasn’t for goddamned Kansas.
September 5th, 2010 at 2:31 PM
jay: your scathing insults would be more effective if you got the competing teams right. Though your vendetta against Turner Gill is humorous.
September 5th, 2010 at 2:33 PM
Dammit, fetch, North Dakota State
And it’s not personal. I just hate when the media labels an entire conference and region as racist because Auburn didn’t hire the coach the media thought they should have hired.
/and it turned out that Auburn was right
September 5th, 2010 at 2:35 PM
well it’s been one game. And regardless of what some people say the team blows. Hopefully they give him time to get his guys in there and what not. Kansas doesn’t have the personnel to run a pro style offense right now.
/or any other offense, apparently
September 5th, 2010 at 2:35 PM
They weren’t prepared for Robinson, and their receivers played like UConn receivers.
RichRod played his only hand — Robinson will get scouted, teams will prepare for him, and Michigan will head to a New Year’s Eve bowl with their 7-5 record.
September 5th, 2010 at 2:37 PM
Hiring Gene Chizik will never be right.

Michigan didn’t beat UConn. UConn beat itself with dropped passes and other errors.
7-5 for michigan is way too generous. Maybe 5 wins. They are going to get smoked by the pure awesomeness that is Notre Dame and the best coach in football Brian Kelly.
September 5th, 2010 at 2:40 PM
The Big XII didn’t play anybody this week.

This morning I open the sports section in the Free Press. And you know what I see? On page 3 or 4 the header says
Ask The Expert : Matt Millen
Thumbs up for Stafford and Big Ten changes
Seriously WHAT THE FUCK is wrong with the sports editor!? No one in Michigan cares what mall millen thinks. Fuck that guy and he keeps getting shoved in our faces constantly.
September 5th, 2010 at 2:47 PM
Let’s just call it The Matt Millen Phenomenon.
September 5th, 2010 at 2:52 PM
If the Lions are ever in a primetime or big game on ESPN or NBC I know what happens.
“Oh my ladies and gentlemen. We have a special guest in the booth right now. 4 time Superbowl champ, Matt Millen!”
September 5th, 2010 at 3:03 PM
Big XII would’ve been undefeated this week if it wasn’t for goddamned Kansas.

Shades of Terry Allen. Fucking horrible. It was like watching a high school team play. Turner Gill may be a nice man, but he’s a horrible football coach. He was clearly in over his head which is scary because of the high profile coordinators he brought in.
September 5th, 2010 at 3:04 PM
Matt Millen can a) play in I-75 traffic near Ford Field or b) DIAF.
September 5th, 2010 at 3:09 PM
c. play in I-75 traffic then DIAF when he gets hit by an oil tanker.
September 5th, 2010 at 3:12 PM
It wouldn’t be as bad if USA Today or some non detroit paper ran with a Millen as expert story. But how the fuck can the Freep run that story?
September 5th, 2010 at 3:15 PM
This is why I hate Notre Dame and its fans.
September 5th, 2010 at 3:19 PM
d. Stoned to death at Ford Field.

There should also be a ‘Michiganders get to piss on Millen’s burning corpse’ option. Could have stimulative economic effects.

you could probably use a sarcasm detector for christmas.

Nah, my detector is fine. I still hate Notre Dame and its fans.

Both Querry and Fish missed the end of last year so they will be accumulating points without having any come off the books. However having all 3 ranked in the top-10 is still unlikely. I think Querry will be top-10 by end of year, he’s pretty good. All 3 are pretty solid players, but none are a legitimate threat to win a major.
