Why not embrace the idea of playing FL every year? After all, we have played them almost every year since 1953, which is more than we have played any other SEC program during this period except for Ole Piss and Moo U.
Did Tenn cry throughout the 90's when FL had an unfair advantage of playing LS...

Good Question.
Don't think it would matter since the "current" BCS rules clearly define the number of weekly polls and selection Sunday. My guess is that this is a risk that ND takes when they maintain their rivalry with Navy. This is probably similar to the risk that the other schools take whe...

They didn't have females when Petraeus was at WP. Females where admitted two years after he graduated. He was a highly decorated cadet so I'm guessing his father in law didn't have to help him with his career. Both Petreaeus and his mistress were captains on the Brigade Staff which means they wer...
