Dayton remains unanimous in Sports Network Mid-Major poll

NCAA Football Betting Lines

11/12/2007 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dayton received all 32 votes to remain the unanimous No. 1 team in the Sportsbook Betting Lines Mid-Major poll announced on Monday.

The Flyers (10-0) came from behind to beat Drake 34-27 on the road to clinch a share of the Pioneer Football League championship. That victory and No. 2 San Diego's 27-14 win at Morehead State gave Dayton the bid in the Gridiron Classic.

Drake (6-5), which was ranked No. 1 earlier this season, dropped from seventh to ninth with the defeat.

The Gridiron Classic matches the champions of the PFL and the Northeast Conference. Should Dayton, which beat San Diego in the regular season, be selected for the FCS playoffs, San Diego would get the invitation to the Gridiron Classic.

San Diego (9-1) received 29 of 32 second-place votes to remain in the second spot. Morehead State (7-3) remained at No. 4 with the loss.

No. 3 Albany (7-3) will play No. 7 Central Connecticut State (6-4) for the NEC title and the Gridiron Classic berth on Saturday. Like the PFL, if the NEC gets a playoff bid, the runner-up moves on to the Gridiron Classic.

Albany used a 21-3 victory over Monmouth to set up that title showdown. CCSU lost a non-league game to former conference member Stony Brook 34-7.

Iona (7-3) fell 17-14 to Marist, but stayed at No. 5, while Duquesne vaulted from ninth to sixth with a 51-8 thrashing of La Salle.

Davidson (6-4) moved up one position to No.9 by beating Valparaiso 44-6 and Wagner (6-4) dipped from eighth to 10th with a 23-20 loss to St. Francis.

The Sportsbook Betting Lines FCS Mid-Major Top 10 poll includes the 20 programs of the MAAC, NEC, and Pioneer Leagues, which play at a non-scholarship or limited scholarship level. An updated poll, which is based on the votes of selected media members and FCS mid-major Sports Information Directors, is announced each Monday during the regular season.

FOOTBALL TRASH TALK

NFL Football Trash Talk

Trash talk has a place in every competitive endeavor (except baseball; those stirrup-wearers are too busy chewing on their sunflower seeds and their supplements to worry about what their opponents are doing).

Fantasy sports is no exception. Any intelligent discussion of the subject would probably start with a thesis statement or a definition of terms. Thankfully, this wont be an intelligent discussion.

Let me just say that I am happy to take a place in this space alongside my talented colleagues, even our commissioner. (You should see how she bleats like a demented paper boy about league fees on our fantasy site).

Trash talking, I would argue, is primarily about amusing your friends, their sheeplike demeanors and sloping foreheads notwithstanding. The best place I have found for football trash talking is at www.SportsAlarm.com.

Beyond the entertainment factor, though, I would recognize that the sophomoric ritual has one advantage, when properly applied. It magnifies your fantasy triumphs and mitigates your fantasy failures by transforming the eventual point total into an afterthought. Winning makes it seem like your opponent really is a truss-owning, lapel-pin-wearing nitwit. And in defeat, trash talk can be the air bag to break the fall from your hyperbolic heights. The plug-necked yahoos on your team, you can say, will be sacking groceries by the end of the season.

The best trash talk, in my view, is layered and nuanced. And it doesnt focus only on your opponents team. It picks apart your opponent. The idea is to create a shock-and-awe-scale blizzard of nonsense, and the goal is to make your opponent drop his hands from his keyboard in exasperation.

What team does your opponent root for? Accuse a Giants fan of having a Joe Namath pillowcase. Wheres your opponent from? Give a look of concern no matter his reply, then say, I'll try to type slower for you next time. Is your opponent into politics? Label everyone a tax-and-spend corporate shill.

Cap all that with a liberal application of irrelevance. For instance, dont just conclude by saying your opponent is a twerp who drafts like my grandmother. Say that your opponent is a sweater-wearing, eyebrow-plucking twerp who drafts his team about as well as Zsa Zsa Gabor gave acceptance speeches at the Oscars. By the time your foe makes sense of that, his starting running back will have had puppies.

But what about you? Hmm? Recall a memorable slam? Have a tried-and-true technique? Know someone who seems impervious to insult? Take a moment and tells us about it. Put together some (fit-for-publication) thoughts. You wont be too busy returning phone messages from your friends, Im sure, to reply.

In addition to the trash talking, the Sports Alarm has a huge gallery of high resolution pictures of beautiful women and models in bikinis. The most popular models are: Lindsay Lohan, Carrie Underwood, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Paris Hilton.
