I'm not sure why we feel the need to hammer Corso and/or Beano.    I loved Beano.  Yeah, he (like another guy I knew locally) couldn't go a breath w/o uttering Notre Dame, but he was a great source of commentary and perspective on college football.  He cut his teeth working at Pitt for years, among other stops.  He was a good soul, and Corso's a great personality for college football too.  These guys are/were just having fun like the rest of us.
yup, I'd kill for that job

I'm guessing it's a lot of work and travel and with some unpleasantness at times.

Your next game is Colorado playing at Utah when both are 2-8 and you have to try and find something pithy to say without being pissy.

I'm sure you're right, but I'd guess it pays better than my current gig and I'd be doing something I have a passion about I'd take a crack at it

hopefully I could get past the face for radio

I’ve done some play by play and color commentary for local high school football and basketball games.  I enjoy the hell out of it.

Jonathan Taylor won the Big 10 rushing title last year (yawn)...by 920 yards (WTF?!?).

I'd be too boring... the anti-Skip Bayless.  I'd be prudent and have support for my claims.  That would earn me some low ratings, I'm sure.

I guess I'll ask this here......in my head, Penn State had a split of the NC in 1994.  I know they didn't for some reason, but they so easily should have, that I count it.  And I've counted it for so long, I include them automatically when listing such things.



Am I the only one who does that?



If you wonder about 2004 Auburn, it's not the same to me, but I don't know why.  Maybe because USC destroyed a very good OU team that year?  Anyway, how do you all consider them?

I will just comment on 1994

I agree that Penn st should have a half or shared MNC.  Why not??  undefeated.

Unfortunately, they joined the B!G the year before and couldn't play Nebraska in a bowl

I think if the B1G would have allowed their champ to play in another bowl in 94 and 97 it would have put off the playoff momentum for a few years

Both of those years would have produced some great games, for sure.  
Penn State had an epic offense and a bad defense, for a NC contender.  Nebraska was Nebraska, but 94 wasn't 95-quality.
Michigan had that great D, but the pass D was all-time elite...and that wouldn't have affected Frost's Nebraska team so much.  


The what-ifs are why my board game would be a lot of fun.  A statistically legit method of playing those games out.

I'd give Auburn a split easily in 2004 especially since USC's national title was later vacated by the NCAA.

If the coaches were able retroactively to declare Oklahoma State the 1945 national champions (after fOSU was the only school to apply for such a retroactive award), they ought to be able to award Auburn the 2004 Natty.  Maybe Auburn needs to pay for it, as I believe fOSU did.
