Big Ten howling mad at SEC.
- Thread starter Redwood Forrest
- Start date
Oh, wow. I'm completely stunned in the world of championships one group is against a rule that might help an opponent but the opponent thinks the decision makes all the sense in the world because it helps them.
Describing this as "howling mad" seems a bit much, particularly since Bielema of all people sounds reasonable for a change.
May I offer "overcome by the vapors"?
And Redwood, I wasn't impugning your word choice. "Howling mad" came straight from the article.
Hopefully the kids are smart enough to know what it'll be like in October- November, when they'll be playing.

so the northern schools want to trick the southern players into signing with them by convincing them the weather up north isn't cold?
"The bottom line," one Big Ten coach said, "is that the SEC doesn't want change. If it's not good for their league, they will fight it."
Really? It wasn't the SEC five years ago married to the football of 1950 when they proposed that the Rose Bowl be part of the four-team playoff by preserving the traditional Big Ten-Pac 12 match-up.
In the latter plan, the four highest-ranked teams at the end of the regular season would meet in semifinals unless the Big Ten or Pac-12 champ, or both, were among the top four. Those leagues' teams still would meet in the Rose, and the next highest-ranked team or teams would slide into the semis. The national championship finalists would be selected after those three games.
Yeah, the SEC is the only conference that does this.

"I don't have a lot of regard for that team," Delany told the AP. "I certainly wouldn't have as much regard for that team as I would for someone who played nine conference games in a tough conference and played a couple out-of-conference games on the road against really good opponents. If a poll doesn't honor those teams and they're conference champions, I do."
Of course, you'll notice he didn't complain one iota when it helped his conference this past year.
The bowls act in their best interest.
So do the schools.
So do the conferences.
Nothing to see here.

I find it enjoyable that Alabama and the SEC has taken up permanent residents inside the heads of the poers that be of the B1G conference. Bama/SEC must be doing something right if they are ....ing off the B1G.
So let's all throw are heads back and laugh.

Hey look, every summer when you are home with your family, we will be having our moment of tolerable weather.
I wasn't offended because I thought the same thing. I thought howling was a reach also. I would have titled my article "B1G whiney faced over SEC actions."
And I would have Titled it" SEC and B1G conferences each trying to do what is best for itself".
Yes, but you would have had lots fewer clicks than me and I would get the next raise. :smile:
Both the SEC and the Big 10 are trying to do what they think is best for their conference. However, they go about it in vastly different ways.
The SEC just does it and doesn't talk very much about it. The Big 10 trumpets it from the highest mountain, and does it in a holier-than-thou manner. Delaney looks down his nose so much he has to have a permanent crick in his neck.
The Big 10 office are some hypocritical SOBs, and that's the part that grates far more than their actions.
