I thought this thread was about killing spiders?

HELLS YEAH!!!!!!

The radio stations this morning in Cleveland were merciless.

As a Browns fan, I am reserving judgement on this for a while. I like the new owner Jimmy Haslam and his guy Eric Banner is supposed to be a great football mind.

I can't emotionally afford another decade of rebuilding.

Chud! Now that's a nickname.

Back on topic...

dude deserves it big time


btw, just checking out his wiki page... woefully inadequate

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tavon_Austin

I don't know if anyone can just edit this, but he could certainly have a more descriptive wiki entry. Any English majors out there?

Alcohol at Mountaineer Field.... Nuff Said!

Admirable.

I would love to see the Steelers get someone like Jamarcus Russell. I think if the Steelers pull him out of his food induced coma, offer him a huge contract they could really have something special!

Notre Dame sports: Big East schism muddies Irish move to ACC

"SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Notre Dame's athletic director says the recently announced split between the Big East and seven schools that don't play major college football could complicate the Fighting Irish's exit from the conference.

"Those two parties have to divide assets," Jack Swarbrick told reporters Monday. "It poses a question about who you're even talking to. Who is the Big East? Which of the two sides of that has the Big East name and rights, and who might lay claim to the Notre Dame affiliation going forward? It's an interesting dynamic to try and figure out where all that's headed. One of the real challenges we have right now is trying to assess when that might settle out."

Notre Dame announced in September it is leaving the Big East to join the Atlantic Coast Conference, though its football program will remain independent.

Big East bylaws require 27 months' notice from departing members, which would put Notre Dame's arrival in the ACC at 2015. The Irish would like to get out sooner and the Big East has been willing to discuss an early exit.

Swarbrick said that Notre Dame, like the seven Catholic schools, is not on the hook to pay an exit fee to the Big East. He said Big East rules that allow groups of schools to leave without financial penalty apply to the Fighting Irish. But an early exit might require some type of compensation."

Turning into a regular Soap Opera...



Big East will play football in 2013, sources say
By Kristian Dyer | Dr. Saturday - Yahoo Sports

The Big East appears to be set to play football in 2013, despite the basketball-playing Catholic schools wishing to split from the conference.

Multiple sources have told Yahoo! Sports the conference will play football next season and that talks of a split involving the basketball schools voting to disband the conference or leave entirely will not impact football for next year.

"There is no truth to the rumor. The Big East plans to play football with 12 members in 2013," one source said.

Another highly placed source in the conference confirmed that nothing is currently being discussed in terms of dissolving the league would change the plans for a 2013 football season. The conference fully expects to have a football schedule.

No one, however, seems willing to know for certain what will happen beyond that time frame.

The move to dissolve the league could happen soon according to multiple reports, confirmed by Yahoo! Sports. In the last month, Rutgers left the conference for the Big Ten and Louisville followed days later, bolting to the ACC. There are currently 10 members with voting rights in the Big East, seven of which are the Catholic schools who participate only in Olympic sports - of which basketball is the king. Those seven universities would have enough votes to dissolve the Big East and go in the direction of starting a new conference with basketball - not football - as the centerpiece. That would leave Cincinnati, South Florida and UConn on the outs. Temple, a program that joined last year, does not have voting rights on this issue until July 1, 2013.

That may not be all.

Into this mix comes more uncertainty regarding Big East additions for the 2013 season, including Boise State and San Diego State. One source told Yahoo! Sports that, "It wouldn't be surprising to see a new conference formed from some of these programs" if the Big East disbands as a football entity, mainly the schools in the West that would find themselves without a football conference.

According to the source, there seems to be a possibility that programs from several conferences on the fringes of the BCS system could bond together to form a new conference. Their goal would be to try and take the Big East's slot in the new playoff system if the league is dissolved.

Last spring, there was talk of the Mountain West Conference and Conference USA merging and later on, speculation that the Big East could merge with those conferences for a mega-conference in an effort to appeal for a broader, national television contract. Now it looks like some schools might be splintering off in an effort to control their own destiny, and a new western conference could be the byproduct.
