Around the 'Shoe

It's a pretty good conference dude.

Gobuck187Ttun, you are so right. They are just like every other conference. Its always a two team race. The east will suck again this year.

obviously they will play michigan if its down south close to alabama. no way they will schedule a home and home and play at the big house or horseshoe in November. bama will never agree to that.

trust me. much harder to play in cold. it can definitely change a game especially with players who haven't experienced playing in the cold. the north is like the tundra to southern players

meyer only got 7 players in the last two years from warmer climate states, so no it wont effect osu. your getting this all wrong. alabama will be coming here for one game, its first time in the cold. for the osu commits they will be at osu for 4-5 years so they will adjust to the cold alabama cant adjust after one quarter. just cause they are a power team doesn't mean they don't throw and how bought the defense. don't tell me that defensive players are the same in colder weather as they are in the warmer weather. their will be a little drop off in defensive play in colder weather. It's just harder to play in the cold. i don't know why your not understanding that. go play outside in November with your friends and see if its the same as playing in 70 degree weather.

this conversation is going nowhere. convo is over.

so why don't you just put a lid on the big outhouse toilet and play all your games inside? that way, weather won't be a factor...in a sport where weather's always been a factor. in a sport where weather is supposed to be a factor?. cramping in hot september games has the same effect as adding layers in cold november games. either way, you adapt or die.

rejecting wisconsin is easy to rationalize. they are a very good but far from an elite program. rejecting osu would be a lot harder to justify. saban would be ridiculed for dodging a contender, not a pretender

another one who has irrelevant comments. your applying that i said weather is not a factor when i just posted 3 comments on why the cold weather is a factor, no one said playing in heat wasn't a factor, but its not the same effects as the cold, so what if the heat has effects how is that going to prepare you for the cold. two different things. your comparing apples and oranges.

"cramping in hot september games has the same effect as adding layers in cold november games. either way, you adapt or die"? no it doesn't have the same effect. explain how its the same. like i said, the southern osu commits will adapt because they will be there for 4 years, but it will be bama players first time. how can you adapt immediately? you cant! saban even said its not fair for his players to play in the cold and snow because they are not use to it. if its the same thing why do southern teams stay away from the north in cold weather and why don't we have bowl games in the north since hot and cold are all the same?

who the f died and made you the only authority on this board? just because you say something, whatever the rest of us think doesn't matter? sorry if i stepped on your toes, herr hitler.

i never said weather wasn't a factor, asshole. in fact, i said football was made to be played outside because weather's MEANT to be a factor. you seem to read just fine but you need to learn to work on your f*cking COMPREHENSION skills, you lamebrain mudderf*cker!

everything you said is almost completely erroneous. southern teams don't "avoid" the north in cold weather. the simple fact is, by the time november hits, everyone's in the middle of playing their conference games. that's the way it's always been. are you so f*cking dense you don't know that?

also, do you not know that it's been medically proven that when it's cold your blood actually gets thicker and when it's thicker, it flows slower? that affects conditioning. it can lead to exhaustion, dehydration and cramping. so a team traveling from colder climate to a warmer climate can actually be at as much of a physiological disadvantage as one coming from warm weather to play in cold weather. so guess what? adapt or die cuts both ways...why? ...because--again!--weather was MEANT to be a factor in football, dipshit! otherwise, as i said, why not just play all the games indoors where the climate is consistent and controlled?

and, finally, the reason bowls are played in warm weather is because they're always been considered a "reward" for a good season, not just for the players and coaches but for their fans. the game is the main course in a sumptuous feast but it's not all there is to do. it lasts 3 hours but people are there for 3 days. no one wants to be standing on a street in detroit or minneapolis all bundled up watching a parade or holed up in their hotel waiting to watch a game in sub-freezing weather on new years day.

you have got to be one of the dumbest people who's ever posted. and there's 5 minutes of my life i can't get back because i wasted it on you.

Trust you eh?

Yeah all those kids never make it in the pros.
Mike Wallace for the Steelers is slow as hell playing in Pittsburgh.

Another overplayed excuse.

someone kill me . when did i say you said weather wasn't a factor? my comments are still up. go and quote where i applied that you said weather wasn't a factor. i cant even have a rebuttal because i don't think you understand what im saying. and your medical proven blood thicken whatever has nothing to do with what im saying. let me make it easy for you. weather is a factor whether its hot or cold and the cold will have an effect on bama. that's all im saying.

im not saying we will beat bama if they came here this year, but will there be an effect on bamas game if they came and played in ann arbor in late november? yes or no? that's all im asking.

and keep calling me an asshole and a mother******. i don't mind it. you say your not getting mad but obviously you are. grow up a little and have a convo without all the profanity. its just football my friend

exactly. don't answer my question, i know who won the and thanks for the down vote.
