Looks like the Pac 10 has hired the SEC's PR firm.

Little known fact:

Jeff Tedford also teaches "Coachspeak" and "Sporting Cliches 101" at the University of California at Berkley.

I found a new football conference for Notre Dame to join. The Prestige 10.

2008 ND Schedule:
Rice
Duke
@ Stanford
Michigan (out of conf)
@ Vanderbilt
BYU
Boston College(out of conf)
@ Northwestern
@Navy
Air Force
Army
@ USC (out of conf)

Prestige 10 Conference winner gets automatic BCS berth

Ha! Take that Les Miles!

According to ND fans, the USC football players are all on steroids and our academics are a joke so they wouldn't play US

"i have respect for all things great and small...on any given saturday"

what is he, trying for sportmanship of the year award?

he is trying to make himself look good so Texas AM will hire him

Tedford is speaking the obvious. Everyone west of the Mississippi understands that the Pac 10 is a premier conference, if not the best conference in college football. No other conference plays a full slate of games (meaning everyone plays everyone every year). Group that with the fact that California as a state provides the 80 to 90% of all talent for every team in the Western Region of the United States, with a vast majority of those coming from the L.A. Metro, which basically means these kids are hyper-competitive with each other, know each other, dislike each other and can't wait week and and week out to out play each other.
Tedford also knows that he has to brand his teams losses with are due to the overwhelming Pac 10 Conference schedule. He also has to keep Jackson's ego in check and keep his focus because you know his is getting nastier and nastier about the fact that since DeSean bolted from his verbal commitment to USC to go to Berkeley and get an opportunity to play from Day 1, Cal has not won a national championship, he has not won a Heisman, and Cal has not beaten USC. He has blown that opportunity and Tedford has to keep him happy before he tells all his friends not to waste their time up at Cal like he did.

That ND Schedule for next year is a JOKE! No wonder Weis has been spouting off about ND being back next year. If ND improves even marginally they should be able to win 9 games with that schedule. If ND gets to a BCS game next eyar with that schedule you are gonna hear some real grumbling.

That's not Notre Dame's real 2008 schedule just a simulated schedule if they were to form the fictitious Prestige 10 Conference with other like minded academic schools.

Interesting take on Desean and SoCal kids committing to Cal.

How many would trade Patrick Turner (#1 WR 2004) for Desean Jackson (#4 WR 2004)?
