Given the state of the Big 10 that's still entirely possible. Though it would probably be easier to hit that mark if they got to play Illinois more than once.

I don't think Penn State will even win four games this year. I picked them to go 3-9. That said, I just know they're going to beat Illinois in a game where Illinois outgains them 450-99 and has seven fumbles.

If, it's "somewhat" high profile, then how about
Bobby Petrino?
Mike Locksley?
Ron Turner?
Mike Tice?
Dennis Green?
They could do worse than Dave Doeren, but if Doeren waits another year and has another season like this past one, he'd likely get a crack at a better opportunity than what might await him in Chambana.

I could wish nothing more on Josh McDaniels than to have to coach the Fighting Illini. That'll kill his career right good. Also, if Bobby Petrino is willing to listen they'd better tell him he can have all of the young, married trainers and motorcycles that he wants.

Plenty of room on the NIU bandwagon, Stew--it's only 80 miles or so from Albany Park.

Who's gonna coach NIU next year month (http://www.niuhuskies.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/120112aaa.html)?
Gone right away'd.
A little surprised he wouldn't parlay his success and roll the dice on pulling something off on the national stage to attract a bigger school than NC State, but it musta beena helluva lot of money, as NC State feels that he can do for them, relatively speaking, what he did for the Huskies.
Big hire for NIU coming up. They've had some tremendous consistency from Novak-Kill-Doeren, but one tard hire could set it back.

Doeren is in a pretty awesome spot at NC State. The conference isn't an SEC so it's winnable in the next few years. If he succeeds, he'll get himself a really major job. He's probably seeing this as just the next step.
As for NIU, I wonder if playing in The Orange Bowl will attract some coaching talent...

This Rod Carey hire (http://www.niuhuskies.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/120212aac.html) has a sudden Patty Fitz--sudden trajectory feel to it, and he'll already have coached in a bigger game than Fitzgerald. Good hire to maintain continuity through the Orange Bowl and next season.

You can't blame them for firing Tom O'Brien. You wouldn't fire a guy for 7-5 if that was his worst, but you damn sure can if that's basically what he's done every year of his career. In 16 years as a head coach, he's never gone better than 9-3. I never understood why they hired him from BC in the first place. I don't even use the word "milquetoast" anymore. I just compare things to Tom O'Brien.
He's also had just 5 seasons where had winning conference records (never better than 5-3), and those conferences were the Big East and the ACC, so it shouldn't be that fucking hard to do.

Big hire for NIU coming up. They've had some tremendous consistency from Novak-Kill-Doeren, but one tard hire could set it back.
Doeren is in a pretty awesome spot at NC State. The conference isn't an SEC so it's winnable in the next few years. If he succeeds, he'll get himself a really major job. He's probably seeing this as just the next step.
Heard a rumor that NC State's eyeing a move to the SEC in a few years. At the very least, I'm sure they would've mentioned that to Doeren.
I'm pretty sure they fired a guy who went 7-5 so I wouldn't say NC State is a great spot.
You can't blame them for firing Tom O'Brien. You wouldn't fire a guy for 7-5 if that was his worst, but you damn sure can if that's basically what he's done every year of his career. In 16 years as a head coach, he's never gone better than 9-3. I never understood why they hired him from BC in the first place. I don't even use the word "milquetoast" anymore. I just compare things to Tom O'Brien.
He's also had just 5 seasons where had winning conference records (never better than 5-3), and those conferences were the Big East and the ACC, so it shouldn't be that fucking hard to do.
Slaky wasn't blaming them for firing him.
I think he was questioning the likelihood of NC State joining the SEC.
[ puts quarter in SKO and stands back ]
If that's what he was saying, okay. Let Slaky himself clarify.
Although I don't see why they wouldn't take NC State if they took Missourah.
For the same reason that you thought RGIII wouldn't be a good quarterback?

I think they'e got a shot to win, but Stanford is basically a better version of this year's Badgers.

Sonny Dykes? Well, at least Cal will be more interesting to watch next year than it was this year.

It's a great hire. His father was a great head coach, he learned the Air Raid directly under Hal Mumme and Mike Leach, he had great success as an offensive coordinator in the Pac 10 when he was with Arizona, and he's done wonders with LA Tech. Nothing to be upset about, Stew.

Hmmm....let's see.
- Father was a great coach.
- Learned a unique scheme at the feet of great ones.
- Was a great coordinator prior.
Yep...all adds up to head coaching greatness!

One could argue that Buddy Ryan was a great coach. One could also argue that he was an overrated douchecannon. After he was let go by the Bears he accomplished fuckall and managed to alienate everyone he came in contact with in football except for a few talented players who thrived in his relatively uncomplicated system. I've been all set with Buddy Ryan and his offspring since about 1986 or so.

In fairness, SKO said great "head" coach, and PenSchmoe took it out of context to in a failed attempt at cleverness. Buddy was a great DC, but a horrible head coach.

But Rex knows his
Football, amirite?
Really the "coach's son" part was the least important aspect of my argument, since history is littered with failed coach's sons (Mike Shula would be a far better example than Rex Ryan, who I think will get another chance at a head-coaching job and will fare better if he doesn't chain himself to a failed first round draft pick at QB. Better coaches than him have made the same mistake). Stew is old, and in his day you were required to work the same occupation as your father, so I thought he'd understand that system.
I'd place more faith in Sonny based on the fact that he was on Leach's first staff at Texas Tech, so he's worked with Leach, Holgorsen, Kingsbury, Sumlin, Briles, and many of the other successful OCs and head coaches that have come out of that tree. Considering the fact that he was an OC at Arizona and thus avoids the usual "can his scheme succeed in BIG BOY FOOTBALL CONFERENCE HERP DERP" that's always stupid, and that he's been a successful head coach, I think it's a great hire.

In defense of my lame zinger, I didn't think Stew would take my caste comment seriously to begin with. I'm well aware that Stew had the freedom to choose his own occupation, which I've gathered from various comments meant that he, the grandson of Russian Jewish socialist immigrants, became a labor lawyer. I'd just like Stew to tell me what it was like to testify in front of HUAC.

Stew is old, and in his day you were required to work the same occupation as your father, so I thought he'd understand that system.
Really? What kind of caste system do you think existed? My Dad didn't finish high school and worked in a factory. In my day the goal of parents was to see to it that their kids did better than they did.
He had you confused with Jesus.
So Stew was born AFTER feudalism? Honest mistake.

Well done, Jon. That's the gayest ZING! ever.
Well, that was kind of the point. Did you read SKO's post?
That's our Huey!
In defense of my lame zinger, I didn't think Stew would take my caste comment seriously to begin with. I'm well aware that Stew had the freedom to choose his own occupation, which I've gathered from various comments meant that he, the grandson of Russian Jewish socialist immigrants, became a labor lawyer. I'd just like Stew to tell me what it was like to testify in front of HUAC.
Thank you for asking. This is what it was like:
http://foundsf.org/index.php?title=The_House_Un-American_Activities_Committee_(HUAC)_Hearing_and_Riot_of_1960
Yes, I was there. I was a third year law student and this was the day that I became a radical.
Damn. That's interesting. I don't care what Dubbs says about your movie reviews, you're awesome.

Did Roy Cohn come on to you?
Cohn was McCarthy's senate aide. HUAC was the House of Representatives. I am not sure that Cohn was even around in 1960. My hero in those hearings was Archie Brown. He was an employee of the ILWU in San Francisco. (Years later I hired his granddaughter as a secretary.) After he was sworn in and they asked the preliminary questions they got right to the heart of the matter. "Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?" Archie got this great smile on his face and said, "You mean to tell me that all of you travelled all the way from Washington to San Francisco at the expense of the taxpayers to ask me that when you could have spent 10 cents to buy a Call Bulletin to get the answer to that question?" How could you not love that guy?
Years later, Woody Allen made a movie called "The Front" where he played a schlemeil who let blacklisted screen writers use his name on their scripts so they could make a living at the only thing that they knew how to do. When he finally gets called before the Committee and they ask him if he was a member of the Communist Party his answer was "You know what? Fuck you." The line drew applause in the theaters, but in my mind mind it paled in comparison to Archie's answer.

Maybe Cal can't beat Stanfurd at football, but when it comes to Rugby:

From one of the guys who brought down Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, Deadspin's brief history of the Manziel family in America (http://deadspin.com/the-long-con-how-the-manziels-conquered-america-1040593220).
For the Justified fans, here's part of the scoop on Johnny's great-uncle, Bobby Joe Jr.:
QuoteA. Okay, it's my understanding that Mr. Stracener and Bobby Joe Manziel have ties in the gambling world and also could be members of the Dixie Mafia out of Louisiana.
[...]
THE COURT: Well, do you still suspect Mr. Manziel of being a participant in the activities of the Dixie Mafia?
THE WITNESS: Your Honor, that's just what I've heard on the street and from other police officers.
Hoping for a great game tonight. Good luck to your gilded bears, Stew.

It was a good game. Cal's QBack (Jared Goff) is a true freshman and for a while Cal was ahead in the second half (but for two interception TD returns on bobbled passes). Northwestern's head coach is a head case to rival Harbaugh. At one point he lay facedown and started pounding rthe turf with his fists. He also had players lying down "injured" to slow down Cal's momentum. Class act!

Yes Pat Fitzgerald can be a legitimate loon on the field. As for NU players laying down, there is some good precedent for it counsellor (http://blog.oregonlive.com/behindducksbeat/2010/11/oregon_football_fake_injuries.html). It's also worth pointing out that NU's better players were getting injured (and this is after Cal knocked out their starting QB and CB), and they often sat out for more than one play, which suggests it wasn't pure gamesmanship.

Gotta say that Cal looked surprisingly good. NU faced the same stalling issues in past issues when they ran the hurry up stretch in the past, it's kind of a risk inherent in that offense.

And yes, NU played Western Michigan this year too, but only because Vanderbilt broke its scheduling contracts to schedule more cupcakes.

Whereas Cal, which has no defense, plays Ohio State, Northwestern, Oregon, Stanford, UCLA, Washington, Oregon State, Arizona, Washington State, Arizona State. It looks like Cal's only chance to win another game comes against USC. However, USC fired Kiffen. So that might not happen.

It's all very nice and my whole family is NIU so I hope they do well. But they're not going to a BCS game again. If they did they'd get murdered. Their aim is to win the MAC and that's pretty much the best they can do while they're in that conference.
Wouldn't you agree?
Beating the dregs of the Big Ten is great and no, Illinois can't beat anyone (and would lose to NIU), but is that something to be proud of? Beating Illinois? Everyone does it.

They fared better in a BCS bowl than Notre Dame did (had a chance to take to the lead in the 4th and lost by 21), and their opponent is proving to be a legit #1 team this year.
Of
course their aim is to win the MAC (for the 4th year in a row), but why wouldn't I (or them, or anybody) want to see them get another crack? There are plenty of teams that get murdered in the BCS. BCS teams, too, like the aforementioned Irish and pretty much every Big 10 team that gets a crack. Why be a fuck and shit on NIU doing the same? There's a chance they'd fare better than last year anyway, when they were clearly a little starstruck.

Being ranked waIs fun.
NIU'd.
Playing Iowa, Idaho, Eastern Illinois, Purdue, Kent State, and Akron (and Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Massachusetts, Ball State, Toledo, and Western Michigan) helps. NIU has a pretty good team but they don't play anybody.
Thought now would be a good time to point out the following:
Number of Big 10 teams NIU has beaten this year: 2
Number of Big 10 teams U of I & NU have beaten this year, combined: 0
It's all very nice and my whole family is NIU so I hope they do well. But they're not going to a BCS game again. If they did they'd get murdered. Their aim is to win the MAC and that's pretty much the best they can do while they're in that conference.
Wouldn't you agree?
Beating the dregs of the Big Ten is great and no, Illinois can't beat anyone (and would lose to NIU), but is that something to be proud of? Beating Illinois? Everyone does it.
Of course their aim is to win the MAC (for the 4th year in a row)
I lol'd. Make it winning the MAC 40 years in a row. Still wouldn't mean much more than a mundane win over Purdue or Illinois or this gutless Northwestern team that's pissed away its season the last five weeks.

If you're not in one of the major conferences, sure. That's why everyone wants the playoff format -- if that's what you're saying is stupid about college football, far be it from me to disagree. But, if your non-powerhouse team happens to play in one of those major conferences, all you need to do is win and you'll have a decent shot of playing for the title. It's hard, but it's not entirely impossible. Iowa was a 5-point loss away from a perfect season in 2002. Ten years ago Alabama finished 4-9 and followed it up with a 6-6 season. It's not impossible to go from bad to not bad to really good. Ole Miss is an also-ran in the SEC but apparently has the best recruiting class of anyone and should be really good in a few years. I enjoyed watching the Cubs this year even though there was no chance that they'd win a championship. And the Red Sox had a 2012 that equaled the Cubs' in shittiness. Something something that's why they play the games.
TL;DR: I follow my non-powerhouse college football team on the hope that they'll be in the running at some point down the road. If I only followed them when they were actually in the running, I'd be no better than Apex.
The dumb thing is that the regular season has so much importance that the post season is meaningless. And you can be a fan of an awesome team that plays an awesome game against another awesome team but happens to lose a close battle... and then you might as well forget the rest of the season because you're done if you're not undefeated. Meanwhile some mediocre teams runs up the score on a bunch of tomato cans for the right to get their ass kicked in the championship.

Also, Chuck's reason for hating college football is the correct reason. That and the fact that the team my dad told me we were supposed to root for when I was a kid is irretrievably awful.

Sure, it's possible to enjoy a season without a championship.
Pretty ballsy statement in a room full of Cub fans.
You didn't enjoy 2003 or 2008? They ended in total, epic disaster and major disappointment (respectively), but I would still take those years over the past five seasons.
I even enjoyed 2004.

The dumb thing is that the regular season has so much importance that the post season is meaningless. And you can be a fan of an awesome team that plays an awesome game against another awesome team but happens to lose a close battle... and then you might as well forget the rest of the season because you're done if you're not undefeated. Meanwhile some mediocre team runs up the score on a bunch of tomato cans for the right to get their ass kicked in the championship.
Go Irish?
Also, Chuck's reason for hating college football is the correct reason. That and the fact that the team my dad told me we were supposed to root for when I was a kid is irretrievably awful.
Go Heat.
Yep.
But Eli is right. I really enjoyed Notre Dame football last year because they had a shot at a title.. until the title game started. I'm also enjoying this year somehow, but not as much. But I don't really care about watching other college football because the whole system is weird.

After 2008, I'm not ever going to be satisfied again by anything less than a league pennant. Give me a World Series berth or a protected draft pick. 100 wins, 100 losses. Either one is fine.
I watch college football because it is is football.

OK, I'll bite. There have been 46 100-win seasons in the last 45 years, about one per year. So, unless the Cubs are the best team in the league, you'll consider the season a failure.

Don't start backing down now from the BIG NIU/Ball State showdown on 11/13, Tony.
Is that when it is? I spent most of my Saturdays in Muncie watching Notre Dame play on my crappy little TV. And I still do that even though I think college football is kind of dumb. At least I have a nice TV now.
But if Ball State had the same kind of success NIU does I would go full Cardinal meatball and claim they deserve a BCS bowl too.
Brady Hoke will soon be available to restore them to their glory day(s).

College football is kind of dumb.
This, a million times. Unless you're a fan of the top 5-7 powerhouse schools, why bother getting worked up over which mediocre, pointless bowl game your team will play in?
Blind squirrels, nuts, etc. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Orange_Bowl)
Right, they won the Orange Bowl. So what?
Well, I think they get a trophy.
Edit: Confirmed, they get a trophy.
Seriously, though, are you're saying it's not possible to enjoy sports if your team of choice doesn't win the championship?
I'm being a little over-the-top, of course.
Sure, it's possible to enjoy a season without a championship. But I think it'd be hard to enjoy a season without the possibility of a championship, which is the case for the vast majority of college football teams.
If you're not in one of the major conferences, sure. That's why everyone wants the playoff format -- if that's what you're saying is stupid about college football, far be it from me to disagree. But, if your non-powerhouse team happens to play in one of those major conferences, all you need to do is win and you'll have a decent shot of playing for the title. It's hard, but it's not entirely impossible. Iowa was a 5-point loss away from a perfect season in 2002. Ten years ago Alabama finished 4-9 (LOST TO FUCKING NIU FOR CRISSAKES) and followed it up with a 6-6 season. It's not impossible to go from bad to not bad to really good. Ole Miss is an also-ran in the SEC but apparently has the best recruiting class of anyone and should be really good in a few years. I enjoyed watching the Cubs this year even though there was no chance that they'd win a championship. And the Red Sox had a 2012 that equaled the Cubs' in shittiness. Something something that's why they play the games.
TL;DR: I follow my non-powerhouse college football team on the hope that they'll be in the running at some point down the road. If I only followed them when they were actually in the running, I'd be no better than Apex.
Early Huskie ascension'd.
DPD.
For the record, I have always been a much, much bigger fan of professional sports than college sports. Nobody in my potatio-scarfin' lineage, going all the way back 2 generations in the States, had any school on which we could stake a claim, so of course we rooted for Notre Dame. But because we lived near a big city, we were drawn to pro sports.
Also for the record...though I *am* an NIU alum, I can tell you that I had literally witnessed, in all my four glorious, euphoric, enlightening, toxic-saturated years in DeKalb in person, no more than 8 total quarters of NIU football, all of which were in the first 1.2 years of my enrollment. I only saw 1 game in it's entirety--the first one my freshman year (http://www.fanbase.com/138870-1990-09-01), when I was the only asshole who stayed in DeKalb over Labor Day weekend and my brother (Class of '86) came up with some buddies and lit me up with some tailgating and such...also, later, one half of a game I left at halftime to get ripped, before NIU rallied back against Kansas State (http://www.fanbase.com/145836-1990-09-22)....even on the day when Stacey Robinson set an NCAA Rushing record for Quarterbacks, I never quite made it inside to Huskie Stadium in time to see and see a single play, and thus not only missed Robinson setting the mark, but NIU knocking off #24 Fresno State (http://www.fanbase.com/101731-1990-10-06) in our Homecoming game (shakes fist at current Fresno State team),though I did have a helluva time tailgating.
Furthermore, during my sophomore year I actually lived at an apartment complex (as did, I found out years later, our Head Moran), that was called StadiumView II Apartments. Though it offered no view of the actual field, if you opened the door to your apartment and craned your neck north, you could see the south side of the stadium's east (and high school-bleacherish) grandstand, and besides, we lived close enough that we could walk to it in seconds anyway...and admission was free with a school ID and in spite of all that I can attest to having witnessed exactly 1 Quarter of 1 game of football that whole year .... in fact NIU home games were inexplicably on SportsChannel (the pre-cursor to FoxSportsChicago, which is essentially a precursor of CSN Chicago) but they were rarely on our set, because we'd usually have Notre Dame on, and if not ND some Big 10 school or maybe a wicked national game with one (or two!) of the 5 teams Eli has set in stone that are worth watching...but when an NIU game *was* on our set, we liked to open the door whenever there was some goal line action, just to hear the crowd (such as it was)....that's the extent of my fandom from that time...so I'm not pretending that my interest in the current NIU team is some long-held tradition that I've possessed but at the same time I'm not going to apologize for enjoying the hell out of it now. Especially since I"ve pretty much outgrown Notre Dame to the point where I sometimes find myself occasionally rooting against them.
But pro sports do rule. Fucking Bears, man.

NIU Eastern Illinois North Central College would murder Northwestern if they played today. ARE YOU HAPPY?
P.S. Fuck these gutless assholes. Not so much the players, but the coaches who refuse to stop calling option pitches to Mike Trumpy, who desperately try not to lose instead of trying to win, who retreat instead of fight. A team that started 4-0 is now 4-7 with only the Turd Bowl in Champaign left.
Eastern's actually pretty good.
Okay, this is hilarious.

At least with Zook, they could marginally recruit some talent, provided he had a quality OC and DC doing the real coaching.
Now, they can't even recruit or competently coach a team.
At least the basketball team is decent.

A bunch of jerks, that's what. Do they even count as a directional school?
Central is a direction for people who can't afford a proper direction, is what it is.
Fitz sure got the most out of that bye week. Bravo.
I was offered some really sweet tickets for today's Northwestern / Michigan game.
For free.
I turned them down and chose to rake leaves and finish the last of the fall yard work instead.
I was far more productive than either of these two suck ass teams.
Good God the Big Ten is just the worst.
Notre Dame will never invite Northernwestern back now

Highlight of the season right there because Notre Dame is the worst. This won't prevent them from losing by 40 to Purdue next week though. Northwestern is weird.
DPD. A fitting end to a trash season. And hopefully this means Beckman stays!

Don't get me started on Michigan.
Plenty of room on this Illinois bandwagon, I just got a seat.
(bandwagon promptly plunges over cliff)
Okay, how about the Golden Gophers?
(Jerry Kill has seizure while driving bandwagon which promptly plunges over cliff)
Christ, the Big Ten is just the worst.
I'm glad it was Illinois but more glad it was Northwestern. Eat shit.

Not many Northwestern alums around this fringe messageboard. I don't even hate Illinois or Purdue or Notre...okay I hate Notre Dame. Why Northwestern? Does Pat Fitzgerald haunt your dreams by screaming Go Cats? That happens to everyone.

I went to Illinois. I attended games at Northwestern. I am from the north shore. So that's enough.

It seems like you know the remark wasn't personal but you really want it to be. Butthurt's a helluva drug.

Placeholder. They need to hire a whole new administration. Provost. Chancellor. AD. No decent coach is going to come from the outside to take this job until those positions are filled.
And you can't give a guy a 1 year deal and have him actually be able to tell a kid that the coach will be there. He can at least lie and say he's sticking around because he has a 2 year deal in place.
Cubit isn't making enough to prevent the school from eating a year's salary.

Okay, but they should have fired Thomas and had a new AD in place months ago. Apparently no one ever told the U of I that whenever they find themselves in a hole, the first step is to stop digging.

And you can't give a guy a 1 year deal and have him actually be able to tell a kid that the coach will be there. He can at least lie and say he's sticking around because he has a 2 year deal in place.
Cubit isn't making enough to prevent the school from eating a year's salary.
Okay, but they should have fired Thomas and had a new AD in place months ago. Apparently no one ever told the U of I that whenever they find themselves in a hole, the first step is to stop digging.
Also, Illinois football athletics isn't really a thing.
FTFY
Seriously. They've reached a quite a nadir. Time was, you could at least point to the basketball team as salvation, but even the basketball team is going on--what--their 4th straight year of underwhelming their opponents?

It's easy to say that in hindsight.
Did anyone else enjoy watching former Pittsburgh(!) coach Dave Wannstedt say "Iowa won't let Connor Cook have all day to dance around in the pocket like Penn State did last week" and then turn his cold, weaselly eyes to current Penn State coach James Franklin sitting two seats to his right?
Adding a bunch of teams to the conference and a championship game didn't change one tradition: B1G Football is nigh unwatchable.

seems cool. One of those was even an Orange Bowl.

Well this year, at least, they were down to their 3rd QB who, despite being the nephew of former ND/OSU and NYG QB Kent Graham, cannot throw a football beyond 6 yards with any accuracy.

Last night Cal beat Texas in Berkeley, 50 to 43. It was nationally televised on ESPN2. The game ended close to midnight here, which would make that 2 pm Central Time. I assume that all of you stayed up watching that game. It was one of the most exciting games that I have ever attended. I assume that all of you were glued to the TV for the entire game. (The most exciting game that I have ever attended was the 1982 five laterals into the trombone player against Stanfoo.)

I did see the end of this one after getting back from NU's triumphant beat-down of Duke university (may be one of the very few triumphs NU has this year). But what is it with fooball players dropping the ball before crossing the line?
DeSean Jackson also played for Cal.
I blame Trump.
