How can these clowns be ranked so high every season? The media still thinks Pete Caroll is the coach? USC has to have the worst starting rank vs ending rank statistics of any CFB team in the last 10-15 years....

So Ancelotti was sacked today, for those of you who don't know. One year after leading Madrid to ultimate glory. It's like if Greg Popovich was fired for not winning an NBA title this year. I don't see how you can fire a man as decorated as Ancelotti who won the title last season, just based o...

re: Away goals rule

Posted by benhamin5555 on 5/13/15 at 8:32 pm

But the away goal rule, while it encourages the away team to attack, also encourages the home team to park the bus after they have scored a goal. Or if the first leg was a 1-1 draw, the home team in the second leg would want to stall out for a 0-0 draw....

Away goals rule

Posted by benhamin5555 on 5/13/15 at 6:23 pm

What do you guys think about the away goals rule? I personally think it is lame. Why not have OT/shootout if aggregate is tied after both legs? If Real Madrid had won 1-0 today it would have been a pretty lame way to decided a semi-final of the biggest annual tournament. It seems very arbitrar...

Why do LSU and Bama have such a hard time recruiting QBs?

Posted by benhamin5555 on 1/2/15 at 8:05 pm

Programs of their stature should be able to get better QBs than Jennings, Sims, Jefferson, McElroy etc. Both schools always have great receiver talent and great defensive talent to support a good QB. Right now both schools are a QB short of going on potential multiple NC runs. So what's stopping the...
