    Severe getting angry about people who drive drunk ...

    Uber has done wonders for making it a no-brainer to not drink and drive. Its quick, easy and cheap. Plus, getting back to recover your car the next day is much less painless. Self driving cars are coming, give it another decade and it's likely the whole drinking/texting and driving will be a...

    San Francisco travel suggestions

    You can always catch the BART in Millbrae to head up to SFO, good parking at the train station and only a 45 minute ride up. Much better than trying to find and pay for parking in SF. Also, Uber is very big out here, but they can't pick you up at the airport in SJC at least, so be aware of...

    Davison on BTN: Change practice and be physical

    Also, regarding the pass plays on 3rd and 4th down that failed to convert. You have to look at what played out to determine the validity of the play call. Were there plenty of open receivers and TA made a bad decision? Did an open receiver drop the catch? If you are going to pick at the play...

    This is the kind of ignorance that makes the Internet so frustrating. Reilly had what he had at QB. I am positive that the coaching staff spent time with TA to improve his mechanics and decision making, but they can't go on the field for him. The second option of Fyfe is probably not much of...

    I'm sick of posters kicking us because of the 5-6 record.

    Sure, we had to overcome a number of challenges this season: A young team, injuries, new system, etc. However, at the end of the day, our win/loss is what it is and hopefully our play the last game and hopefully in a bowl supports the fact that we really are a better team than our record, but...

    Respect

    Complaining about the attitude of anonymous Internet posters is a bit silly to be honest. You have to consider the source and when you really know nothing about the source, that's the amount of value you should probably place on it.

    Big Ten Power Ratings: Ferentz vs. Dantonio

    I think that he's trying to make the point that Iowa is better than MichSt. However, MSU beat Ohio St , Michigan and Oregon who are still ranked at 8, 12 and 18 respectively. The only win that Iowa has against a still ranked team is Northwestern at 17. Does it matter where a team is ranked...
