Thought they had snatched gs soul :snoop:. Was like fukk it. :pachaha:


Yeah if someone told me Lowry and DeFrozen would go off the way they did in Game 4 I would've bet a Kings Ransom of real money on Toronto ML that shyt came out of nowhere. Cavs even came back I remember feeling good but the Cavs punked out down the stretch I had a pretty good run on winning ban bets luck ran out that day.

Thanks breh.. will do!

How come Penn St and Pitt stopped playing anyway?
I'd say it was a combination of factors.. PSU joined the B1G and Pitt went to the Big East so it was tougher to schedule.. PSU didn't want to go home-and-home with Pitt (basically wanted to go 2 for 1).. Plus I'm pretty sure Joe Pa had a grudge. I can't remember exactly what the beef was but it was there. I think it had something to do with Joe Pa wanting to form an eastern conference with Pitt, Syracuse, MD, Rutgers, Temple, and some other schools, and Pitt balking at the idea

We gon see I think Jimbo like mcguire


I just can't see it making sense for Jimbo to go with SMag. He didn't light it up last year and couldn't even beat out a guy that came in with no experience in the system and lost QB job (Golson) beating out a kid who got a full year in his system plus coming off a surgery after having a full year go to waste of not taking advantage post Jameis.


Maguire is the type of QB your program at that level uses as a solid bench player he would've never played anyway if Coker didn't decide to bail out on us.

Yeah guess when your no longer independents its harder to make game especially if you wanna play schools OOC that will give your programs more eyeballs with recruits. Never heard about Paterno wanting an Eastern Conference they could've ran through them schools forever if that actually went down only school back then that was really ballin was Syracuse.

What If Joe Paterno's East Coast Conference Plan Succeeded?

Yep WVU and Boston College were in on it too, and what you said is exactly the reason some of the other schools didn't want to do it. But according to this link, who knows what could have happened if this panned out? Miami, VT maybe could have joined too? Crazy but yeah PSU would have shyt all over that conference

So Paterno was pretty much trying to form what ended up being Big East football. :ehh:

Learn something new everyday

Would've been cool if FSU and Miami could've joined up seeing they were independents back then as well conference had a lot more sizzle in football then the ACC did at that time.

Best options: get someone's login info so you can use the WatchESPN app or invest in a sling box. Streaming is iffy but the first two are your best bets

Word thanks breh. I have access to WatchESPN thru my AT&T subscription but I just assumed it wouldn't work if I'm in Italy. Maybe I'm wrong there.

Also with Sling Box, I know next to nothing about it. Although the first time someone told me about it, they said you have to have your TV on and it just shows you whatever's showing on your TV at the time. That sounds so useless and inconvenient tho so I disregarded but also thought there's no way that's what it does. So can you educate me? Thanks breh lol
