I wouldn't. Stick with anabolics and HGH. It's what makes a body strong.

"I do love the game...but we're all Roman citizens watching the Gladiators and making excuses for our depravity."

Why did we do away with the orgies and vomitoriums, though?

The children. It is always about the children.

The Big 12 has submitted a request to waive the NCAA's championship game requirements so that they can have a championship game with only 10 teams. This, of course doesn't square with "We love ten teams because we can play round robin and have a true champion!" but my guess is that they know this will be shot down like the Big 10's requests all were, and is the beginning of building a "we took all these steps and now we need to expand" file of excuses.

Children like to eat until they vomit. I bet many would be OK with an occasional orgy, too...

Why do they need an excuse to expand?

Why don't they just go ahead and have a championship game? The conferences decided to crown their basketball champions by tournament a few decades ago, it's not like the NCAA has any validity anymore anyway. The bowls don't answer to the NCAA. Fuck 'em. Play the damn game.

ultimately its money.

do you make more money with a big 12 title game

or do you make more saving one team from a big 12 title game loss and hopefully getting 2 teams in the BCS

I think the title game comes in 2014 whether there be 10 or 12

cant imagine big 12 sacrificing big 12 title game to try to get 2 teams in the bcs

heh. I've seen many posts tonight blaming Bush.

George Bush doesn't care about football.

Chinese hackers?

I get the no-call with the Lombardi Trophy on the line, I guess, but that's called in every regular season game.

lot more grief and controversary if they make that call--I think it was uncatchable or more likely if he made the catch he was going out of bounds anyway. it was a good no call.

I think the hold on the punt was one they should have called.

Personally, they should have given the ball to Gore on the 5 yard line. He was beasting.

Colin Kaepernick is the truth. Scary good.

I disagree - not on the grief and controversy, but that ball was as catchable as Santonio Holmes' game-winner four(?) years ago.

Now, I hate both teams, so I don't give a shit. But, if I was a 9er fan, I'm pretty sure I'd be bitching like crazy about the refs today. Not throwing out (or even penalizing) the DB who two-handed shoved the ref during the post-fumble fight? Not calling Ed Reed offsides on the 2-point conversion (which may have been a bigger no-call than the 4th down pass)? Not calling offensive PI on Torrey Smith when he wrapped both hands around Culliver's helmet on what would have been a pick?

As a non-biased observer, I thought this was almost as one-sided as far as calls go as the Pittsburgh-Seattle Super Bowl. Hell, even the one call I thought the 9ers got (I thought Akers flopped before contact on the missed field goal) should have been roughing and a 1st down for the 9ers by virture of the rule (contact with leg in the air) if they throw the flag at all.

Of course, watching JimHarbaugh whine about it was fantastic.
