I will love it when my Huskers fuck everyones shit up as a giant middle finger to Texas and the Big 12. Still bitter about that bullshit phantom second.

I'll miss our games with the Huskers MJ. Hopefully they'll schedule a non conference game every now and then.
I also think #7 might be a little high for us :-/ I'm always pessimistic at the beginning of the season. Seems like they've been the girl that always breaks my heart lately.

My preseason prediction is that TN will beat Florida and still miss out on a bowl game. We have NO depth and by midseason we will be embarrassing and lose to Kentucky for the first time in like 100 years.
It's f-in sweater vest time, people!!

While expectations still aren't what they should be for Michigan standards, I'm hopeful for Michigan to get back into the bowl scene this season! 8-)
BTW, The Big House will once again be hosting the largest crowd watching football in America with the completion of those beautiful renovations. It might actually be a little louder in there as well! :D
Also, I hate sweater vests! :P

I'm still on the fence when it comes to RR. I have pretty much conceded that if he can't get Michigan to a bowl game this year I think he will be gone.
At the same time, I can totally see the potential this team has with the players RR has been bringing in. So for that, I've been willing to lean on the side of patience. But trust me, my patience is running on low... :-/

Ahhh. Should have known. Poor little nits fans with all of their aspirations of ruling the Big 10 and all when they joined our confence and what do they have to show for it? The Northwestern Wildcats have won as many Big 10 titles as Penn St. since the nits joined our conference. Boy, they've really showed us how to rule the Big 10?! ;D
Yes, our run in the Big 10 has been less than stellar, but overall solid. I think a lot of our problems in the last decade should be blamed on the coaching staff with teh QB selections. Every time theyve gone with seniority over talent, leaving Michael Robinson and Daryll Clark only 2 years to start instead of the 4 they shouldve gotten, but why do that when you could start Anthony Morelli who is an upperclassman >:(
Looks like it will probably happen again this year with Kevin Newsome, a soph with maybe 5 series of game experience, starting over true freshman and almost certainly more talented Paul Jones. Our team looks pretty solid everywhere except QB though, so hopefully Newsome comes through. If we had an established QB, we'd def be Top 10 preseason, but QB is a huge question mark.
Im still pissed about Manningham and 2 seconds ILBeer...Although, maybe less pissed than going undefeated and getting kept out of the NC game thanks to great USC and Texas teams
It's funny watching you Big 10 fans talk about football. ;D
I am glad it occupies your time.
BTW, which SEC team wins the BCS this year? ::)

Alabama probably. UGA has NO killer instinct thanks to the team chaplain,er coach....I think Derek Dooley will be fine at UT....don't you just LOVE that picture Penny ? pathetic
QuoteIt's funny watching you Big 10 fans talk about football. ;D
Yep, that same Big10 whose top 4 teams all won their bowl games last year including my Nittany Lions over LSU.
Which team do you root for again? Is it Mississippi?? Or does it change to whatever the best team is in the SEC? Then again, since I think I remember you arguing how Eli Manning is the best QB in the NFL or something and you like to post shirtless pics of him, I think its the Runnin Rebels. Or maybe Eli just gives you teh bonerz.

The Capital 1 Bowl? You won 19-17? That was Penn State's BCS Title game and for LSU it was the equivalent of playing in college football's NIT. Ole Miss beat LSU last year, so, by your own logic LSU couldn't be that good. ;)
Do we really have to do this again? Year after year? The Big 10 talking about their "huge" bowl wins as the SEC walks away with another crown? If Penn State plays in the SEC, they go 6-6, maybe. More likely 5-7.
I did a little research on PSU. If you take away their 2 powerhouse wins over Temple and E. Illinois last year, they had 1 win over a team with a winning record (that would be against the powerhouse Northwestern at 8-5) and the combined record of their opponents they beat was 39-60!! ;D ;D No wonder you're talking smack about beating LSU in the Capital 1 Bowl!

I dont think our team was great by any means last year, but what has Ole Miss done since, well, ever?

45,000 people attend Penn. State and about 14,000 attend Ole Miss; and you're arguing with me. You know why? Because Ole Miss is in the SEC and college football doesn't get any bigger than in the South.

What does a school's student enrollment have anything to do with their football program?? Im sure Boise State's enrollment isnt very big, yet theyre #3 preseason this year. What's Utah's enrollment???? Didnt Utah beat Alabama in a BCS bowl a a couple years ago??
And college football doesnt get any bigger than the south because all the professional teams down there, in every sport, in the cities that have advanced past segregation and actually have a pro team, have historically all sucked.

sugarkins, college football has been a tradition in the South waaaay before the NFL came to New Orleans and Atlanta. And without question, the greatest pro atheletes come from the South, usually via SEC fotball (some through the SWAC like Walter Payton and Jerry Rice, both from Mississippi). It's a fact. The SEC dominates all other conferences, year after year, and we have to laugh at the likes of Penn State and Michigan and Ohio State, whom the press pick year after year to win it all, but usually get their heads handed to them by a larger and faster SEC team. It's pretty easy to get you worked up about this stuff (and it's fun, I admit it) but you all bow down to the SEC when it comes to football.
I'll give Penn State their props in basketball...

I dont think anyone would argue the SEC is most often the best conference, but to say they dominate every conference, every year, is hogwash. I get my years confused, but I think 2 years ago the Big12 was widely considered the best conference in the NCAA. Even in the years where the SEC is the best, saying they "dominate" everyone else a tad exaggerating. Saying that the press pick tOSU, Mich, or PSU to win year after year is a joke too. I dont think theyve done that for 5 years.
What really is a joke is saying that without question, the greatest pro athletes come from the south and the SEC ;D Great athletes come from all over the place!! Here's the NFL greats that have just come from Western Pennsylvania:

it was 2 years ago the Big 12 was said to be the best. That was the year of the Texas Tech/Oklahoma/Texas argument. Oklahoma lost to Florida (SEC) in the BCS title game- Ole Miss (SEC) beat Texas Tech in the Cotton Bowl- and Texas, well, they beat Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl.

I would definently say upper tier bowls matter. I know you find it hard to believe, but upper tier bowls (like I dunno, the National Championship game!) matters to recruiting.
The Capital 1 Bowl? Not so much.
Capital One Bowl is a New Year's Day bowl....Isnt that what the Cotton Bowl is???
And sure it doesnt bring in recruits like a NC win, but beating LSU on a NYDay bowl certainly helps. At this point, JoePa still being around is hurting our recruiting more than any team, coach, win, or loss.

No wonder Tracy & I cant agree on anything, he already knows everything that happens in the 2010 football season. Every team in the SEC goes undefeated in 2010, whereby Nick Saban forces the NCAA committee to mandate the inaugural 8 team NCAA football playoff comprised solely of teams from the SEC because it is the greatest conference in the history of conferences.
Well neither of them are as important as the Poinsetta Bowl or the Lil Ceasers Pizza Bowl. If you can't determine who the true National Powerhouse is from those 2, then you just can't.

Please forgive me if I don't subscribe to bowing down to yet another arrogant SEC fan.
Allow me to set you straight with some actual numbers when it comes to the Big 10 vs. the SEC argument:
Big Ten vs. SEC Football--The stats and facts don't lie! (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=8466874137)
Also, you might be surprised to know that Michigan is 20-5-1 ALL TIME vs. your mighty SEC including an upset of Florida 3 years ago when the Wolverines were 2 TD underdogs playing the Gators in their own backyard.
BTW, another stat that jumped out at me is in regards to your asinine statement about the SEC having so many more athletes playing in the NFL. You might like to know that there are indeed more SEC players in the NFL as the SEC currently has 299 compared to 265 for the Big 10. BUT, the SEC also has 12 teams compared to just 11 for the Big 10 so when you average it out it comes out to 24/team for EACH conference. Imagine that?! :-*

QuoteQuoteQuote[It's pretty easy to get you worked up about this stuff (and it's fun, I admit it) but you all bow down to the SEC when it comes to football.
Please forgive me if I don't subscribe to bowing down to yet another arrogant SEC fan.
Allow me to set you straight with some actual numbers when it comes to the Big 10 vs. the SEC argument:
Big Ten vs. SEC Football--The stats and facts don't lie! (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=8466874137)
Also, you might be surprised to know that Michigan is 20-5-1 ALL TIME vs. your mighty SEC including an upset of Florida 3 years ago when the Wolverines were 2 TD underdogs playing the Gators in their own backyard.
BTW, another stat that jumped out at me is in regards to your asinine statement about the SEC having so many more athletes playing in the NFL. You might like to know that there are indeed more SEC players in the NFL as the SEC currently has 299 compared to 265 for the Big 10. BUT, the SEC also has 12 teams compared to just 11 for the Big 10 so when you average it out it comes out to 24/team for EACH conference. Imagine that?! :-*
ahhhhh, still reliving that glorious day where Michigan gave it all for Coach Carr and defeated a dejected and lackluster Gator team.
glory days!
and tell me this isn't loser talk from the Facebook page > "and Northwestern had a chance to upset a favored Auburn team by a field goal in regulation but lost by a field goal in overtime." LMAO ;D
WTF? Who cites an "almost win"? wow, just wow.

thanks for the fun all you "Big 10" fans. 4 of you vs. 1 of me is about fair (even though I don't count Walts as a whole, but I'll round up on him).
car's coming off the rack, gotta go.
Quoteyou know why i don't know about these other bowl dates?
cuz i only need to care about two. one starts w/a rose and the other one ends w/a parade in columbus.
Hammer.
i love all the big ten love!!
MJK and BH--got your back too. MF-in texas is hopefully going down this year.
is crispy an Ok fan?
Crispy is an OK State fan if I remember correctly. Eazy is our resident Sooner. Wish they could have moved over to the SEC as they would fit in there instead of being stuck in the Texas League. F'n Texas is going down like a sweet muffin this year.

Second of all, I guess it's not loser talk to make excuses like Florida was dejected and lackluster when describing why they lost that game. ::) Typical SEC arrogance.
BTW, have the students at Ole Miss been warned to lock down all of their electronic and computer equipment with the felon Jeremiah Masoli now enrolled down there? :o He's got fresh pickin's down there in Oxford! ;D

at OSU we eliminate that problem by not even requiring players to have BOOKS, let alone computers. that education stuff gets in the way of learning all the plays ..education is overrated, whereas rose bowl victories provide happiness to the whole community.

That YouTube clip of those LSU fans makes it clear why it's such a joy to kick their asses. Especially on their turf
Nebraska has done very well against SEC. The 80's we always seemed to get paired against LSU in Bowl Games...and won. in the 90's, 2 of our 3 National Championships came at the expense of beating, no decimating, SEC teams. This is just the greatest play ever.

Chickens have come home to roost y'all now that Pelini and Osborne are in charge. May take then another season or 2 to fully clean up the damage from the previous admin. Look out for them this year though. Pelini already has them ready to drink the blood of the dead for him.

..either way..that's a great futher muckin word.
either aptly describe that years team.
By my quick count of Bowl Games since 1941, NU vs. SEC 10-5. I'm sure there were some regular season games schmattered in there but I do not remember any.

4 point victory between 2 7 win teams. Exciting. Still scratching my head how we even made it to a Bowl that year.
96 Fiesta Bowl - 62 to 24 over Florida and the over hyped Danny Wuerffel where most "experts" expected NU to just lay down and die to almighty FL
98 Orange Bowl - 42 to 17 over Tennessee and the over hyped Peyton again where we were expect to lay down and just die.
BCS sucks!

That is all.

tommie frazier was the man. I'm pretty sure those husker teams lined up and just ran all over everyone that got in their path. Quite possibly one of the greatest teams of all time.

Holy shit, is football season about to happen? Ah, I see we Aggies are playing Washington St. on Saturday, so I guess I will have something to do that day.
Ha! EZ, you're the first Sooner fan I've ever seen use the dread "dirtburglar" moniker (hence the "Aggie" above)! See you in Stillwater this year?
There are a couple other Okies here, TGMC I think is one.

Yeah, I miss the days of the option and power I. Hell I miss the days of the dreaded Sooner Wishbone. And wear the moniker Dirtburgler with pride!

I graduated from OSU in '08; I live about a hour and a half south of Tulsa. I like the style that the guy from Houston is bringing to Stillwater I'm just not sure that OSU has the skill players to suceed, but it is an exciting style of play.
I really hope Boise State beats Va Tech next week.

I have a feeling Pitt is really going to play a great game tomorrow and show the country how good they might be, but vegas would say otherwise.
ha, apparently i don't look around this board enough b/c i had no clue there was a football thread. i am so pumped for this season .. i'm a huge SEC fan but my main team is auburn .. WAR EAGLE!!
i just moved and planned on going w/o television but i caved and have basic cable being installed this saturday ;D .. i still won't have ESPN though but i can go to the gym and watch there while getting some exercise in and/or stream online. i will, however, be sad to miss Game Day on lazy saturday mornings.

It usually does but they can be easily removed and it not mess up things. Chili beans and black beans are also used. I do not follow a recipe per say. Meatwise, it's a mix of pork and beef, usually ground. I'm going to try not using ground this year as I set aside some of the meat from the hog I butchered specifically from chilis and soups. I will be braising the hell of of stuff this fall/winter.
Football starts today! I didn't renew my season tickets this year to watch my OSU Cowboys so I think I'll end up watching a larger variety of college football this year. I love being in Stillwater on gamedays but it is an all day event, as I'm sure all college campuses are.
What is everyone's take on Boise State this year? They used to be the little school that beat the Sooners on some trick play magic, and now the media seems to make them out as one of the most hated programs in the country. I think they are a great program year in and year out, but I don't think they would finish 12-0 every year in larger conferences like the Big XII, SEC, Big 10, and the ACC. I think they could compete in most of those conferences but not run the table on a regular basis like they are now.

I think Boise has set themselves up for finally a legitimate chance at a BCS championship and I think that it is a good thing. I've never liked the smurf turf but I have always rooted for them because I hate the BCS system and big conferences in general. I HOPE they beat Va. Tech and are on their merry way to a perfect season.

I agree with everything you just said Ruckus.
Do I think they could go undefeated in a powerhouse conference?...probably not. Do I love seeing people in powerhouse conferences pissed?...absolutely.

no issue with the perm rival. DIE PSU DIE! However the dome thing I'm on the fence. 1 part of me thinks it's great as the Big 12 Champ games would rotate between a north and south stadium and it was nicer when it was indoors here in St Louis then at Arrowhead stadium in KC. The other part of me is saying football in meant to be played outdoors dammit, preferrably on grass.

Well theyre both true freshman but it looks like its Bolden, and Jones is indeed getting redshirted. I havent seen anything of Bolden since he wasnt even with the team yet for the spring game, but I didnt like what I saw from the other 2 guys so Im on board with this.
The article I just read said he's only the announced starter for this week though and all 3 QBs will possibly play
First time PSU will have a true frosh as opening week starter in JoePa's head coaching career :o

You sure about this twice a year thing? I would expect you play them every year but the only time you play them twice would be if each of you win your respective divisions (not happening for UM anytime soon)
Hey now. Despite RR's attrocious record over the last 2 years he has still managed to haul in back to back top 10 recruiting classes Michigan's problem the last couple of years has been lack of depth amongst upperclassmen and especially on the defensive side of the football. In 2011, RR's first FULL recruiting class will now be jr's with his first class being sr's. We Michigan fans are expecting big things in 2011 and competitng for the Big 10 title is just one of those expectations. 8-)
BTW capt, speaking from experience, buckle up with a true freshman QB running your offense because it can be a bumpy ride! :P

so we could be playing Michigan twice in one season?
That's what I've been hearing. You think that's a good thing for the rivalry?

Oh, I know its never easy.......but like I said the other week, I welcome having a QB start who (hopefully) will start 3-4 years instead of 2 years like each this decade almost.
What sucks though is were above average or better in every area except QB, and QB is a huge question.

My Cowboys have looked good today! Kendall Hunter could have had 300+ yards if he would have played more than one series in the second half. I thought the QB Weeden has been really solid and the WR Blackmon had 4 TDs. Hopefully this has more to do with OSU being better than I figured and not WSU being worse than I thought.
I am very happy after today's beatdown of ESPN's hometown team by Michigan. Denard Robonson accounting for a school record 197 yards rushing by a QB to go along with another 187 yards through the air against a team that many pundits say could win the Big East. I'll be sleeing a lot easier tonight! 8-)

Wooo! OSU kicked ass -- but I think that did have a whole lot to do with Wazzu being REALLY awful. Hunter looked great, and I was amazed with several catches, especially Blackmon's. We'll see what happens when OSU gets into the tough teams, I'm afraid it'll be business as usual for the defense...

What a game!! Reminded me of last years week 1 BYU-Oklahoma game where I thought the best regular season game of the year could very well have been played week 1!!
Talking to a friend before the game and asking me who I wanted to win, and I said Boise because if they win this game, then great chance they run the table and make it to the championship game. Whether or not theyre the 2nd best team in teh NCAA, who knows, but I believe thinking that will bring us even closer to a playoff system so thats why I wnated Boise to win.

That game was ten times better than the Boise/Va Tech game which was nice too. I swear I don't think I would have even watched that game xcept that I felt compelled to do my due diligence in learning about Ole' Miss before I talked any junk about them here. The plays that tha JSU QBs made over and over again in the most clutch, pressure packed situations were a marvel to watch.
Boiselooked good overall playing in a virtual road game against a solid if maybe overrated Va Tech squad. Penalties hurt them but they made the plays when it mattered.
I know there are some Mizzou guys here. Thanks for being nice and leaving me alone. Our freshman QB' s lovely 4TO performance was lovely
Yeah, I worked saturday so I missed that game and since I DVR'd the PSU game, I tried to steer clear of any scores and such. Really the only things Im aware of to this point are JSU winning that game, Pitt losing to Utah, UM stomping UCONN, and last nights game. Might have to wander over to espn to see some scores

Wasn't that Jax State QB in there in OT a true freshman? That throw to the back of the end zone on 4th and ball game was unfreakingbelievable! And then I love the call to go for the win with the two point conversion! :D

I think you are right about the QB. I really don't think I'll see a better game this year or for a couple of years for that matter. Sure there will be more meaninful games with dramaric endings such as this past Monday's game but goddamn JSU was something else. That throw to the endzonw was somewhat reminiscent of Favre to Lewis last year but this one was on the run and he had to get it over aqnd down to the back of the endzone on the money. WOW! Both the 2 pt conversions were clutch, the one in regulation to tie and the winner. Great pocket presence and calm to make the throws under pressure.

In his first game as a starter, sophomore quarterback Denard Robinson accounted for 383 yards and two touchdowns as Michigan defeated Connecticut, 30-10, before a crowd of 113,090 in Ann Arbor. Robinson rushed for 197 yards -- a school record for a quarterback -- and one touchdown (32 yards) to go along with 186 yards passing (19-of-22) and an 11-yard scoring toss.

I think you all have points.
Miami made some mistakes (Harris namely) way too many times, but that's what OSU's defense does to you, wears you down so you make mistakes. Our special teams looks awful but as long as T Pryor keeps getting better, we should be okay. Sanzenbacher and Boom Herron looked great, Brandon Saine should be catching not running. Some questionable play calling that needs to get tighter...but still a great game.
I heard Iowa looked terrific, extremely nervous about that game, also nervous about not being able to contain D Robinson but maybe he'll be tired of running or injured by the end of the Nov. (i keed i keed)..
The D is the key to me enjoying OSU Football...
I don't take much stock in Iowa just yet. They have played two pretty weak opponents. Let me see what they do against a team with somewhat of a pulse before I aknowledge how good they look.
Sorry but I guess Denard doesn't like sharing too much:
WALTER CAMP NATIONAL OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
DENARD ROBINSON, MICHIGAN
Sophomore, Quarterback, Deerfield Beach, FL/Deerfield Beach
For the second consecutive week, Michigan sophomore quarterback Denard Robinson earns Offensive Player of the Week honors – and is the first player to do so since the award began in 2004. Robinson accounted for a school-record 502 yards of total offense as the Wolverines defeated Notre Dame, 28-24. Robinson's two-yard rushing touchdown with 27 seconds left was the game-winner. Robinson rushed for 258 yards – eclipsing his week-old school record for a UM quarterback -- and two touchdowns (2 and 87 yards) to go along with 244 yards passing (24-of-40) and a 31-yard scoring toss. Robinson is the ninth quarterback in FBS history to gain more than 200 yards passing and 200 yards rushing in the same game.
Robinson is the fourth FBS player to earn Walter Camp Player of the Week honors twice in a season (the last to do it was Texas Tech quarterback Graham Harrell, who won the award twice in a three-week span – October 26 and November 9, 2008).
8-)
Also, Chimdi Chekwa won Defensive Player of the week giving the Big 10 a sweep this week! 8-)

Although not at the fault of their D, surprised Iowa is getting smacked this so far 20 minutes in. I feel like its going to end up being close, but down 24-7 on the road in the 1st half is quite the hill to climb
What was said in locker rooms of SPARTANS and irish at halftime; "Step it up boys, we are losing ratings." Damn what a game! That last play was sheer beauty...
Anyone see Ryan Mallet for Arkansas yet? Watched the UGA game last week and he seems like the real deal. Plus, I love Arkansas' WR Greg Childs. I absolutely cannot stand Nick Saban and bama. Can the Razorbacks pull off the upset this Saturday? It's a home game for the Hogs and a win possibly gets them into the Top 5. Vegas sez Bama - 7.

This past Saturday night was amazing!
Notre Dame/MSU - best part is the winning play shouldn't have even counted. I don't think that call took as much balls as made out to be. Long kick, young kicker, tons of pressure...why practice this play over and over if you're not going to use it?
Clemson/Auburn - Man did I feel bad for Clemson. Parker had to complete that pass in OT. Ouch, and the re-kick after a penalty?! The hitting was ferocious.
Iowa/Arizona - Hats off to Arizona. Though Iowa got down big with the help of some flukish plays, they came back on the road and nearly pulled it off. McNutt has to hold on to the early pass that was returned for 6.

And ND had it covered, but if you watch the replay, MSU has 2 guys running a "route" and 1 of them trips up with 2 ND players leaving the MSU guy wide open. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy watching ND lose. I hope Stanford hangs 60 on them this Saturday.

I've seen Mallett play a few times but not this year. I remember him to be that protypical tall qb with the rocket arm but has a real slow, elongated release. It sounds like he is really maturing though. The one game that stood out for me was that game against Florida last year that the Hogs should have won. I would do anything to see Saban lose and the Tide's championship hopes take a hit.
What is up with this turn around for the Hogs? I hope they hang close with 'Bama. Should be an interesting game, certainly much more then Nebraska's. We have South Dakota State...WTF?!
And I agree with your sentiment Tracy, any time seeing ND lose is a great time. The only school I hate more then them are the 'Canes. So if they end in a 0 - 0 tie, I'm pretty much shooting a load in my pants.

Id rather see them lose later, because if the lose this week and go undefeated the rest of the year, theyre still in the NC game. Losing in the last few weeks,

It was on 0 for a couple of seconds. The refs either reset it and only told the teams on the field or they blew it.

The play clock was actually at zero when the ball was snapped. It just wasn't called I guess.
It was on 0 for a couple of seconds. The refs either reset it and only told the teams on the field or they blew it.
And I'm sure that Domer fans across the country are incessantly whining about getting jobbed once again by the officials. And they wonder why they are the most hated fanbase in all of college football? ::)

QuoteDudes, like which games are gonna' be hot this Saturday?
Bama - Arkansas is the top game for me
I will also watch Oregon St - Boise St
Stanford - ND
South Carolina - Auburn
WV - LSU

As much as I freaking hate mascots and most notably Brutus, I have to admit I laughed my ass off watching that Bobcat go after Brutus! ;D
And what made it even funnier is hearing how the Bobcat guy plotted this out ahead of time. Dude wasn't even a student at OU and yet he still somehow lands the mascot gig? Classic! :)
Wow does Pitt suck real bad. Im loving it ;D
So much for Dion Lewis being a heisman candidate!!
Alabama, Arkansas, I do love my Ma and Pa
Not the way that I do love you
I just finally turned on CBS. :o
The Hogs for realz this year.
Great game, but Mallett really blew it for the Hogs with those last 2 drives.
Texas was always a mystery to me as to why they were Top 10 after losing, Thomas, Kindle, Shipley, maybe more, and especially McCoy. Didnt make any sense.
Dont think Id drop Arkansas, and they look like a Top 10 team to me.
Arkansas looked damn tough today. They scared the everloving shit out of me for a little while. Mallet was ripping apart our secondary. I've been worried about that all week. If there's one weakness on the Bama defense, that is it.
Kirkpatrick got burned all god damn day, but made a play when he really needed to with that interception.
All that matters is Oklahoma won and Texas lost. Hehehe ;D

He def made a play, but talk about a terribly thrown OOB pass by Mallett. He gave yinz the game those last 2 drives
Oh yeha, Oregon-Arizona St is at the half right now and pretty sweet. I cant believe how many great night games the NCAA has produced only a few weeks into the season.
Oh yeah, I dont know what Spurrier was thinking, but taking out Garcia and putting in your frosh QB to win the game with a few minutes left?!!! What a nutjob!! :D
Cam Newton is quickly becoming 1 of my favorite players to watch this year.
12 hours later....
great games today. Too bad Mallett choked against Bama. He had some guys drop some balls, but he got careless against the best team in the nation (outside of Boise ;)).
Can Florida go to Bama next week and win?
Trace-I was ready to scream during that ARK game! Could not even finish it...

Big day for football today! My picks are Texas, Bama, and Oregon. Looking forward to those three games. I think Texas will minimize the turnovers and win a close game 31-27. I think Bama pounds the ball against the Gators with Ingram having a good game 35-17. Not sure about Stanford Oregon I just feel like Oregons' overall speed wins.

I think Stanford is overrated and Oregon will win. If its at Oregon, possibly win big.
Id be surprised if Texas beats the Sooners
BOOOOOMMEEERRRR!!!!!! Hahaha!!!!
I'd love to see this guy play against Bama

This BCS thing could get real ugly this year. I mean, Alabama still has some tough SEC games left, but if they continue to play like they did Saturday, I don't see them losing. As for OSU, Iowa now looks like the biggest hurdle for the Bucks as Wisky was yet again exposed for being over-rated and over-hyped after their loss at Sparty. And can anyone slow down Oregon? I really don't see anyone from the Pac10 getting in the way of the Ducks. And then there's BYU and TCU who, based on the weak nature of their respective conferences will be hard pressed to lose a game. And lets not forget about OU and Nebraska. I really feel like these two should both be undefeated when they meet for the Big12 championship so the winner of that game would add another unbeaten to this list at season's end. I know it's early and all and these things usually sort themselves out by the end of the season, but there is a very real possibility of having as many as 5 undefeated teams at season's end. Then what will the BcS try and pull out of their asses to appease us fans while they continue to feed us with the BS that a playoff isn't necessary???
BTW, can someone please explain to me how Florida didn't fall further in the polls? I mean, they are still 12th in the coaches poll??? They didn't just lose to Alabama, they were beaten DOWN by Alabama. They have no business being in the top 15!

Tim Tebow :-/
seriously, I was pulling for Florida, but the CBS guys (I refuse to say their names) mentioned Tim Tebow as much as they did any other player on the field.
Personally, I am hoping that Auburn, Iowa, Oregon, and Nebraska
all go undefeated so we can move one step closer to a playoff (not leaving out Boise St or TCU, but they don't have a chance getting into a BCS Title game, even if there are 1 loss BCS conference teams, IMO).
I think Oregon will slip up against a Pac-10 team; that usually happens. Or they will have a "down" game on O and lose 47-42.

I agree about Florida but you know how they love the SEC ;)
I agree with ya Trace about the BCS. Every year we think this is the year that it's gonna really blow up in their face. I do think TCU and Boise will go clean. I wanna say that this is the year that Oregon does it but who knows. That is the fastest offense I think I've ever seen. Iowa unfortunately has a loss already and Ohio St. who hasn't looked good in my opinion has to go to Iowa where I like the Hawkeyes.
Quoteseriously, I was pulling for Florida, but the CBS guys (I refuse to say their names) mentioned Tim Tebow as much as they did any other player on the field.
That happened in damn-near every game that Alabama played last year that those 2 guys were commentating. They just wouldn't shut up about Tebow. I just remember wondering why they insisted on bringing him up.
Also, did Meyer forget to tell his players that they were supposed to get in the end zone? ;D

Great win for the Gamecocks. And a great win for Sparty. I am pretty sure Ole Miss goes in to Tuscaloosa next weekend and pulls off the upset.
I guess Auburn should be #1 now since they're the best team in the best conference.
Let's hope someone in the Big 10 can step up and beat Ohio State. I would hate to see them go to the BCS title game considering how weak the Big 10 is. Let's hope Wisconsin can do the trick next weekend.
I had a trainnig all day yesterday and got home at 6 to see highlights or games. They had horse racing on ESPN and NASCAR on ESPN 2. Saturday at 6 pm, second weekend of October, horse racing and NASCAR. :-/

yep, sort of like saying if we lived in Germany we'd be speaking German.
I am talking about the talent in the Big 10; or, the lack of talent in the Big 10.
We see about the lack of talent in teh Big 10 come January. Hopefully well be matched up against some SEC teams, and tOSU will be playing in the NC game.
Does ILB have to bring up Big 10 vs SEC bowl game stats again?!

I would check BCS Title game stats first. Start there and tell me the SEC v Big 10 record.
For the 50th time, most SEC teams consider a bowl game outside the BCS title game as nothing to get fired up over, whereas the Big 10 teams see it as the "end all be all". Gives your teams and fans a chance to get out of the crappy winters.
And if you think honestly think Ohio State, Michigan State, Iowa, Nortwestern and Wisconsin are in the same caliber as Alabama, Auburn, LSU, South Carolina and Arkansas, you're
high. Really, don't be stoopid. Thank you.

I like Michigan State. I mostly like their coach.
Ugh. I hate Sparty and I mostly hate their coach! ;D
I almost hate losing to MSU more than I do to OSU because their fans have such a freaking inferiority complex it's pathetic?! Sparty has now won 3 in a row in this rivalry and you'd think they've been dominating the series for years?! Can't wait to see the bilboard they erect this year?! ::) I just keep telling Sparty fans I know to enjoy it while it lasts because things will eventually get back to normal...
Or maybe Michigan fans have such a superiority complex it's pathetic. ;D Can you blame Spartan fans? I used to be a huge MSU fan when I was a kid because Magic was my favorite player and green my favorite color. Although my loyalties have changed since I attended undergrad, it was nice to route for MSU for a day.
As for the weekend, man did Illinois put it on PSU. You're right Headdy, that defense was horrible. We were able to move the ball at will which I've never seen any Illini squad ever do. ;D
Good for South Carolina. Not because I was rooting for Spurrier and his horde of ass clowns but because I was rooting against Satan and his bigger horde of ass clowns. What the hell was Stephen Garcia thinking when he chucked the ball out the back of the endzone for a safety? How retarded can you be? Immediately makes me think gambling :-X
This year, as in most of the past 10 years, I'd admit that the SEC has looked stronger than the Big 10 but I wouldn't discount some of the teams atop the Big 10. I still think Iowa is the real deal and if Pryor can throw like he did on Saturday, I have some belief in the Buckeyes. I'm not sold on Wisconsin, Northwestern, or MSU though.
Any way I look at it, there won't be a TRUE national champion this year for sure.

Well, when you own Sparty the way Michigan has over the years to the tune of 67-30-5, it's hard not to have a feeling of superiority... 8-)
QuoteI'm not sold on Wisconsin, Northwestern, or MSU though.
I don't know how you would be sold on Northwestern anymore after they lost at home to Purdue over the weekend.
I will say your Illini have got to be the surprise team of the Big 10 this season along with MSU. It will be interesting to see how Dantonio rallies his team to prevent the letdown game this week vs. Illinois. It wouldn't surprise me in the least to see Illinois go to EL and beat Sparty because Dantonio's season is already complete since he beat Michigan... :P
I will say, MSU not having to play OSU makes their quest for a Big 10 championship a LOT easier.
And also, we will find out a lot about both Iowa and Michigan this weekend. Is this the beginning of the end for RR in AA? I'm guessing if Iowa comes into the Big House and thumps the Wolverines like MSU did, the unravelling of this team like we saw last season could be inevitable. But if Michigan can somehow find a way to beat Iowa, RR could very well save his job with a win.
Give me 40 points and I'll make a c-note bet that the Rebels will cover against Bama this weekend :-? (better make it 43)
Come on suckers! How well could Bama play at home, at night, coming off their first loss in nearly 2 years?

You cannot win games if you drop 4 fucking touchdown passes that hit you in the goddamn hands.
There better be some recruiting trips to visit some receivers. That was awful.
That ARK/AUB game was getting pretty crazy before Auburn's D stepped up in the mid-4th and got them to pull away.
I thought Wisky was gonna be tough tonight, but damn, theyre stomping tOSU after 2 quarters

I cheated my neighbor out of a 6-pack today. He is a big OU fan and always want to bet against Oklahoma State. Since the OSU Texas Tech game wasn't on tv today I knew he wouldn't know the score. I called him towards the end of the 1st quarter when OSU was up 21, and without him realizing that the game had started we made a nice little bet. Needless to say I won the bet, and I couldn't be happier about cheating my neighbor out of something.

I called him towards the end of the 1st quarter when OSU was up 21, and without him realizing that the game had started we made a nice little bet. Needless to say I won the bet, and I couldn't be happier about cheating my neighbor out of something.
Do you live in Oklahoma or Ecuador??!?!?
look for jk on game day espn...
Boomer!
Went to bed at half, took a 4 hour nap and just got up and finished the game! WOW!!! Called Jake and he said Downtown COMO is totally BERSERK! Finally beat ou his Senior year, tore down the goalposts, and carried them out of the stadium. It has been years since they have done so...M I Z Z O U!!! And fuck your little boomer mlk...

Another year another star OSU receiver doing dumb shit. Justin Blackmon, NCAA's leader in almost every stat, pulled over this morning after going 92 mph in a 60, and not only was he speeding but he got a DUI...even better he is only 20.

auburn currently ranked #1 in the BCS :D baby steps though .. one game at a time. if we hold on to it until t'giving weekend, the iron bowl (vs. 'Bama) could definitely be the game of the year across the board.
i had to miss the game this past weekend as i went to terminal 5 way early for line up (front of the line gang, heyyy). my dear friend back home in 'bama kept me apprised of the game though and after the show i was walking around the floor totally blissed out from the music we had just heard and thinking about AU's win. it's at this moment that i see three guys decked out in Auburn shirts/hats/etc.. i FLIP OUT with excitement as evident in this picture ;D

I guess you could call what Dez did last year as being dumb, but it was hardly anything bad and he didnt deserve anything near the punishment he received.

Yep, sadly we came out flat and by the time we got our shit together it was too late. Take out the first quarter and I think we won by 10. Unfortunately, you can't take out the first quarter.
Amazingly, the computers still have us ranked 4th, but because of the "history bias" as I like to call it, our shot at a National Championship is all but over.

You're surprised?
"Unfortunately, I can't comment on it," Chizik said. "But here's what I can and I will this say very loud and very clear: Cameron Newton is eligible at Auburn University, period. End of story,''
everyone's so quick to jump on stories like this and say things like .. "if you gotta cheat, you can't compete" and assume it's true. this 'investigation' began a while ago but is just becoming more public now .. and the timing of which is somewhat interesting. i think that if there was glaring fault that would jeopardize newton still being eligible to play as this season marches on .. it would have happened by now.
Oh it doesn't bother me. I'm just always amused by the farce that is NCAA "amateur" athletics and how so many people are so reluctant to accept certain truths.
I personally could care less how Auburn got its players but you do have to "cheat to compete."
Big question of the college football weekend:

oh but i love vern !!!! .. for a really lame and round about reason, but love none-the-less ;D
so this saturday will be the first saturday in 3 weeks that i haven't had a concert ... so0o0o stoked to watch some games!
JoePa's 400th win be happnen tomorrow 8-)
didnt watch any of the early games, but checked the scores before I start to now. Look at the Auburn game and the first 5 things you see are:

Screw you Michigan. Forcier looked great after his 1st snap debacle. They still haven't explained why Denard Robinson was pulled. Ugh, my weekend is ruined. Nothing a little horse racing bets and poker can't cure right?
TCU looks ok

You couldve held them to less than 67 pts ;)
I was actually thinking about starting a poker thread to see how many people here play...maybe get a 2 times a month game going or something. mag33ta might take all my $$$ though ;D

some errands took me away for a bit but i'm settled in for the 2nd half of this 'bama @ LSU game while keeping an eye on Oregon as well as Nebraska.
if anyone has an iPhone, i must say the sportacular app is most excellent for up to the minute scores and details for when your on the go
QuoteScrew you Michigan. Forcier looked great after his 1st snap debacle. They still haven't explained why Denard Robinson was pulled. Ugh, my weekend is ruined. Nothing a little horse racing bets and poker can't cure right?
man, i'm sorry Ruckus...
that was fun to watch but the outcome was yucky. :( >:(
Silas Redd, you look like Royster 4 years ago but better. Cant wait for next year. Congrats Paterno!
That said...
-Im glad Bama is out of it for a shitalking perspective with my boy, but everything wouldve been a whole lot more interesting if they went into the Iron Bowl with 1 loss
-TCU is pretty good. After seeing them today, they have my full support to play in the NCG
-Sooners lose, Mizzou loses, Zona gets blown out -> I dont think anyone has any idea what teams deserve Top 10 status outside of the Top 5 or so, which apparently and deservedly so includes Boise and TCU
Quote Ugh, my weekend is ruined. Nothing a little horse racing bets and poker can't cure right?
:( deal me in.....
OSU drummed Baylor, and proved they are a major player in the Big XII. I think OSU should win out the rest of the season. Hopefully we can get a chance to play Nebraska for the Big XII title.

better cross your fingers Cam doesnt get suspended before then with all this shit that keeps falling out of the sky on him
The news on Cam seems to be getting worse every day. I think if the trend continues until December he may not win the Heisman.
it all really stinks ... i just had to give myself an internet time out and file a massive load of paperwork b/c i was getting too worked up over all the stuff on the internet. i've felt good about the whole mess from the start but it keeps getting messier and yeah .. if i were an old lady i'd need me some heart pills to get through this season. this investigation has been going on since January. i don't understand why it's only getting worse now. oh right .. b/c we are undefeated and he's a leader for the heisman. ::)
a friend of mine that works @ CNN tweeted from their CNN account that an announcement on Cam's suspension would come in 3-4 hours. turns out it wasn't true (wishful thinking, they are a GA fan). he will be playing this saturday
and you know what .. our backup QB isn't too bad. bright side?
there are tons of articles out but i enjoyed reading this one (due to the positive AU spin obviously) .. Newton story takes on new life, but it's hard to know what to believe (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/michael_rosenberg/11/10/cam.newton/index.html?eref=twitter_feed)
WAR EAGLE .. so0o0 pumped for this game. Let's go Tigers !!
Great game so far!
Ugh, Gary Danielson is unbearable. He should just have Cam Newton's baby already. Georgia's freshman qb Murray is impressing the hell out of me, on the road in this setting. He has been pummeled twice while running for key 1st downs and three times getting crushed into the ground by an All American to be 300 pounder and at no point have they mentioned how frickin' tough Murray is playing! WTF? >:(
AJ Green is a freakish talent. I'm glad Auburn made those early mistakes to help Georgia get the early lead. Should lead to a great finish. 8-)
I missed the beginning of the game and basically started watching when it was 14-3 PSU, but I have no idea how we achieved that..We looked like ass, McGroin especially. I hope he gets splinters in his ass the next 2 years because he aint the answer for us at QB. Im not sure he or Bolden have showed enough to prevent Paul Jones from starting next year (hopefully), who I thought was the best from the get go
damn .. what a wacky game. we got our ticket to ATL though. the two ejections kind'a taints the win a bit but here we are .. 11-0 !!
Quotedamn .. what a wacky game. we got our ticket to ATL though. the two ejections kind'a taints the win a bit but here we are .. 11-0 !!
Congrats Brooke. You're right about the unnecessary crap at the end of the game. Ohh, that Bama game gonna be something.
I need to get this off my chest though. Fairley is an extraordinarily talented, yet horrifically dirty player. The irony is that he hurt his shoulder while trying to bury Murray into the ground on that 1st down run he made out wide. The last play in which admittedly Fairley got cut down, he intentionally stuck his head out to hit Murray low below the knee. I don't blame him because he's not getting penalized for it but I don't agree with it.
Quote I don't blame him because he's not getting penalized for it but I don't agree with it.
i don't know any true fan that would agree with it .. if it indeed was intentional. it stinks though, especially when you pair that with the allegations. we started the season with praise of hospitality & class (http://www.dailygamecock.com/viewpoints/auburn-hospitality-sets-standards-1.1648337) and now everyone is trash talking us. i've almost de-friended people on FB for their all caps rants about how disgraceful auburn is ::)
so0o0o ... who are we gonna play in the SEC title game? right now it looks to be spurrier's gamecocks. they are a good team & deserve it .. plus i hate florida ;)
OSU is rolling Texas. I haven't watched much of Texas this year, but they are terrible. Weeden has had all day to throw. If OSU ends up winning it will be the first win in Austin since '44 and Coach Gundy's first win against UT.
Hope none of you guys are Indiana fans. :-/ It was painful watching that even as a Badger.
QuoteHope none of you guys are Indiana fans. :-/ It was painful watching that even as a Badger.
That was gruesome. Ritual suicide was in order.
If I were an Auburn fan. I would be VERY worried about Alabama. For starters, Georgia is a CRAP team. It looked like Auburn can't cover anyone. To give up that many points to UGA is unacceptable. If that same team shows up to play Bama they'll get their heads handed to them

oh no doubt. it's gonna be THE GAME of the year for them i think. the thing w/ the iron bowl is you never know. i've been to games where alabama was on top all season and auburn not even ranked but auburn took them by storm and i've seen it vice versa too of course. when those two teams meet, anything can happen. we are worried for sure. and now we are short those two players for the 1st half too. i'm glad we are secured for SEC title game .. no matter what happens, we have that.
i am really excited for the game though .. i'll be home in Alabama for t'giving and get to watch it with all of my old school friends that are huge AU fans. living in NYC .. everyone up here (that i know) are NFL fans and not so much into college so i always watch the games alone.
I really wanted Bama to run the table after the SC loss as that basically wouldve made the Iron Bowl a play-in game for the national championship game, but a ton is still on the line anyway and itll should be great.
Oregon finally didnt look like a video game on offense last night. I went into yesterday thinking if they play 1 of the other Top 5 teams, Im not sure I favor them and if I do it 3 points or less because against defenses that have more talent and speed than the crap thats in teh Pac 10, they would look totally different. Last night pretty much confirmed that.
Bama averages scoring about 12 less than Auburn in SEC games (40-27) however Bama gives up 12 less points than Auburn in SEC games (16-28). I think Julio Jones will be unstoppable against Auburn, sort of like A.J. Green was for Georgia yesterday against Auburn. Maze could have a big game, too. Big difference is McElroy's experience (compared to Georgia's freshman Murray yesterday, who finished with a 170 QB rating against Auburn) who I think can expose an already exposed Auburn D. Also look for short stuff to Richardson (if he's healthy) and Ingram.
Look for Kirby Smart to have something unique in store to contain Cam Newton. I dunno, should be a good one.
interesting stats that has me leaning towards Bama, pulling for Auburn, but also wanting Bama to win to create BCS chaos so we'll be 1 step closer to a playoff:
Bama #14 total defense in NCAA
Auburn #51 (#98 against the pass/ #12 against run)
Auburn #6 in total offense in NCAA
Bama # 25

It's really funny how this played out.

I'm DVR'ing it in case but I should make it back from frolf to catch it. Remember everyone, NCAA is about academic achievement.

I was working but caught a good bit of the 2nd half...Hell of a game. Beating Bama @ Bama down 24-0 has to be the win of the year by any team. Saban, if he isnt the best coach in the NCAAs, is Top 5. Ive never seen him get so outcoached for halftime adjustments and the 2nd half. His teams usually do that :o
Even if Auburn somehow loses next week or the SEC championship game, I think they deserve to be in the BCS title game (and maybe the numbers would still support that anyhow).
I didn't think Auburn had THAT in them.....down 21-0 ...AWAY.....SABAN.....too much I thought......anywaye congrats brOOke and friends and have aSAFE night !
Woooooo WAR EAGLE!!! Great game .. I think there is a picture of me passed out post-game clutching an AU football .. If so I'll be share it share it Hahah !! UNDEFEATED !!!!!!!!!!!

I love that picture Brooke!
Well, I didn't get to see the game but it is beyond my comprehension how Bama was unable to score hardly any more points against that D at home after the 1st quarter.
Per usual, the fix was on in the Oregon/Zona game. Good for all ya that took Zona'.
As for the Boise/Nev game, I could probably write 10 pages about it. Needless to say, that kicker is the worst kicker in the history of football or he left the field with REAL FAT pockets. Congratulations to Nevada. It's unfortunate because I still truly believe that Boise is a better team than either Oregon or TCU but it is all irrelevant now. Oregon has looked so mediocre lately that I can't believe they are likely going to the NCG. Right now, I'd take TCU, Boise, OSU over Oregon along with naturally the SEC champ. ::) ;)
Off to the MD/NC. St. game. Go Terps!
Wooo brooke!
Ruckus, you are a cynical, cynical man to figure that kicker to be on the take. ;)
I just got back from walking around the Gameday set on the OSU campus with my dad -- it's a beautiful day for Bedlam, and a great day to beat OU! I think it'll take about 45 points to win, but sometimes these games are surprisingly low-scoring affairs. Go Pokes!

Good luck Crispy! You guys are becoming an NFL WR factory over there.
i am soooo upset i missed the Boise Game. well i watched part of it (most of it?) and thought i'd be a barn burner but i was sooo tired and after a pitiful drive by Nevada i turned it off and went to sleep. mistake !! i do feel quite bad for their loss but i'm hoping that'll give Auburn more BCS points.
good luck to the buckeyes !!!! hoping i am able to catch some of that game tonight :)

It's always a good day to beat the Sooners! Osu wins 41-28

If Boise is a better team than Oregon or Auburn, it wouldve been irrelevant even if they won because 1 of those teams would need to lose for them to get their shot in the title game anyway - and I dont see either of those teams losing after yesterday. Considering that, I'll take 1 of the best games of the year over a Boise blowout that cements them at #3 in the BCS.
Didnt see the Cal game but Id assume Oregon looked mediocre in that game since it was so low scoring and close. I think you gotta give them some credit for last night going into halftime losing and then scoring 34 in the 2nd half and taking Zona out of the game. Clearly they need the big play more than most teams, but theyre so explosive I think they could get at least 1 big play against any NCAA D. I wouldnt mind seeing TCU in the title game over them, but for all I know Oregon would hang 50 and blow them out as well. Hard to not think theyre 1 of the 2 best teams until proven otherwise.
Some things in life are certain: when you go see an MMJ rock show, you can count on being blown away. Another thing you can count on is Oklahoma State football. Punching you in the gut, that is.

Saw a preview for the game yesterday and when they said Stillwater, I was all like, "CRISPY REPRESENT."
;D

I represented alright, yelled my goddamn lungs out, but that didn't keep the safeties from letting OU receivers get behind them TWICE with the game on the line. >:(
maybe the greatest play I have ever seen

Just when I had mostly blocked the memory of that game from my mind! Thanks a LOT Tracy!
(It was a helluva play)
Cam Newton declared eligible! :D

HUZZAH 8-) super stoked for the game this weekend. i'm trying to get miss pennylane to come watch it with me as she's only a subway ride away. also, i found an Auburn football bar in the city that i think i'll have to hit up ... watching this one by myself on a 19" just won't do.
hello0o0o boys & girls .. it's game day !!! meeting up with penny to cheer the Auburn Tigers on to a victory. super stoked :)

dear rob .. (http://www.thejamgirlz.com/phorums/images/smiles/016.gif)
BIG BIG win for Auburn !!!!!!! i still can't get over that opening drive :D and the final score is like woah, beyond my expectations !!!!!!! the lovely pennylane joined me for the game and what a trooper she was .. the Auburn bar i found out about turned out to be .. ummm ... OUT OF CONTROL?!! she totally gets multiple gold stars for braving those waters and finding me among the crowd. i totally had an amazing time though and was surrounded by AU fans and alabama natives alike. Oh and the TD before the half .... amazing!!!!!!
we are ready to fu&k some ducks !!!!!
oh and true to the Auburn tradition (toomers corner (http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zYz3Tfjet6Q/SpmGzHpXcDI/AAAAAAAABm0/8NKvqR98fAA/s400/toomers+corner+photo+rolled.jpg)) ... NYC represented in it's own way, hahaha

;D ha .. ok it's back. i didn't want to be too prodding over our win ;) but dude, i can't believe you were pulling for the Cocks :P
thanks again christine for coming out. i didn't realize your schedule was as back and forth as it was so really ... thank you!! would love to have you watch with us on 1/10 if your around. i will definitely pick a comfy place with seats, food & and all ... though that bar and the energy WAS fun but man my feet were killing me hours after i took those shoes off
i'm working today so i'm gonna go read up on all the tasty tidbits that i'm sure are out there. also i gotta find out what happened with the sooners game. i was watching it but i got too tired to make it to the end, d'oh!

Much better ;D
I'm a sports junkie and hype hater Brooke. For that reason alone, it makes me want Auburn to lose. ;) I know I've mentioned to you before that I loved Bo Jackson and Charles Barkley and you guys got royally shafted in the Campbell, Brown and Cadillac year so I would root for them if I didn't hate the BCS system so much. I guess it wouldn't have mattered because they probably would have been in even if they had lost right?
Glad you chicas got to hang in the meathead Auburn bar. Way to TP NYC ;D ::)
No problem, Brooke! Anything to hang with you.
Ba Ba Ba nanas nanas shirt, too....
Auburn-Oregon NCG should be a dandy
I have no idea how PSU got a Jan 1st bowl game with the Outback bowl, but Im intrigued how we'll match up and play against Florida.
Also, what is up with all the non-BCS bowl games occuring after Jan 1st?!?! Miami (OH) vs. MTU on Jan 6th? Cotton bowl the 7th? Kentucky vs Pitt in the BBVA Compass Bowl on Jan 8th?! WTF...Ratarded
@capt scotty - re: after jan1 shitty bowls happen every year. i agree those guys don't deserve to be playing then...but at least it keeps the slate full through the new year
just checked opening lines for bowl games...
oregon/auburn o/u is at 75! doesn't surprise me, but that's a shitton of pts for a spread! still ride the over? (auburn -3 too)
Quote@capt scotty - re: after jan1 shitty bowls happen every year. i agree those guys don't deserve to be playing then...but at least it keeps the slate full through the new year
Hmm...never remembered there being anything after the 1st besides 3 BCS bowl games

This is due to the BCS Championship game not taking place until the 10th. There has to be some filler games to keep people occupied over the course of the 10 days between the January 1 bowl games and the BCS Championship game.
8 Big 12 teams in bowls
5 of those Big 12 teams are ranked
1 of those Big 12 teams play against another ranked opponent
WTF?

The 10th??? This bullshit has got to stop. If it keeps going this way, in about 50 years the championship game will be held during two-a-days.
Of course, if there was a playoff, I wouldn't care if they played into February.
Watch out Crispy, one of the hot names being thrown around town for Pitt's next coach since Wannstedt got fired yesterday has been Dana Holgorsen
Great game by Matt "pick 6" McGloin!!! 41% completions, 5.1 YPA, 1TD, 5 INTs...God do I hope Paul Jones comes off his redshirt and starts next year.
But hey, it could be worse and we can be Pitt whose new coach has been hired for 2 weeks and already got arrested for domestic violence and is bringing in the new year in the slammer ;D
Really looking forward to tonight's match up. I really wish the national media would drop the Big Ten/SEC crap. It doesn't take a genius to figure out which conference was much stronger this year. I think both offenses will be able to move the ball effectively after the early game jitters and while my heart is rooting for the Big Ten, I wonder if OSU will be able to fight off the distractions and play a complete game. Mallett has a chance to really boost his stock I think and while I love his height and cannon, he seems like a player that an NFL team is going to draft too high based solely on those physical attributes. Then again, I thought that about Josh Freeman and boy was I wrong.
The only real "story" I get so far from looking at the bowls from a conference perspective is the fact that the once again the Mountain West is better than anyone ever gives them credit for.
MTW West 4-1 .800
Big East 3-2 .600
ACC 4-4 .500
SEC 3-3 .500
Big 12 3-4 .429
CUSA 2-4 .333
Big 10 2-5 .286
big game tomorrow ... WAR EAGLE !!!!!!!!!

Cant wait....I could see this game ending up being almost as good as the VY Longhorns vs USC Bush Rose Bowl if Oregon can score on Auburn 75% as much as their typical games.

I have no read on this game at all. Should be fun! Go Ducks!
Pretty sure they're going to go ahead and move the BCS Title game to Atlanta next year, the first weekend of December ;)
War Tiger, or something, right, brooke? ;)
duuuude ... you know what it is ;) WAR DAMN EAGLE !!!!!!!!!!!
i'd like to thank God, my mom and the great state of Alabama .. ok ok, i kid (http://www.thejamgirlz.com/phorums/images/smiles/082.gif) but um YEAHHHHHHHH .... i'm so pumped (and tired). WAR EAGLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
all excitement aside .. it was a tough game and honestly i never once really saw Cam play Cam. maybe that's a sign of them playing a great team or i dunno what but i didn't see it. Nevertheless .. WAR EAGLE !!
I saw Cam be Cam when every single damn time they needed 2-3 yards he put his head down and pounded it OUT! Wow that dude is tough. He got his bell rung pretty good at the end of the game there, and I thought he looked a little woozy.
I was rooting for Oregon but enjoyed the game tremendously.
Ahhhhh, what could have been or can be.
Imagine if Auburn and TCU play next? Imagine if they played 2 weeks ago?
Good game for sure! Congrats to Auburn except for Fairley. So right Tracy! Still felt Boise could play with them (beat Oregon and TCU last year) along with OSU and some others. Playoff must happen.
Big congratulations to ya Brooke! Auburn was due. Now you can reexpand your temporarily stunted vocabulary ;)
Great game, for sure and Id say best champ game since the Texas-USC Rose Bowl...Was pulling for Oregon but you cant blame Auburn. I will say, Im surprised Oregon didnt try to go downfield more often as well as throw the ball to James in open space. It looked like they had success with both of those things nearly eveyr time. I also question not just kicking the FG when it was 19-11 at like the beginning of the 4th quarter. That couldve been the difference between OT and a loss, although Auburn still mightve scored a TD since they got it down to the 1.
Im also happy Pitt didnt steal our DC Tom Bradley from us as their head coach (though I believe he is still talking with UConn for the HC position..I think they probably made a better hire anyway though by getting Todd Graham from Tulsa.
I was really hoping the Ducks could pull it off. At least their helmets looked cool.

love bill simmons tweet following the game: RT @sportsguy33: Congrats to Auburn for winning the 2011 title. And congrats in advance to Oregon for winning it retroactively in 2013.
as a UGA fan who saw our best player sit out FOUR games for a $1000 jersey (trying to make a little extra spending money....considering the NCAA already exploits his jersey w/o any compensation), i have a pretty big vendetta about cam being able to play the whole season.
incredible talent. didn't cheat by steroids or anything...but still, had no business seeing the field after taking that money.

at least you included the smiley face in this comment, because we all know this a joke! The whole premise that his father solicited money, but he had no idea about it....is possibly the silliest thing I've heard in years. Of course Cam was trying to get money (and I'd be willing to wager Auburn paid him quite a hefty sum). The state of NCAA football is just a joke. This stuff won't end any time soon. I'm not singling out Cam, it's widespread. And when it does come to light that he did indeed take money...I don't think they should be stripped of the title (or he his heisman) whatsoever. The system is flawed, Cam is just part of the system.
Here's to hoping the 49ers can somehow land Cam!! :)

i included the smiley face with my comment because i was trying to ingage in a
friendly conversation while stating something that is factual instead of speculative .. but clearly i didn't realize you were an authority on the situation. i was only speaking of the reported allegations that are being investigated ... and that's what they are, no? a whole hell of alot other things could have gone down (or not) but i'm not involved and unlike everyone else, i won't pretend to know everything.
i certainly don't disagree that NCAA football is a total mess. and yes absolutely ... this issue is widespread and more common than not. i imagine there isn't one top team that hasn't been involved in a pay-for-play.
thanks for quoting and calling my words a joke though ;) totally makes me feel all warm & fuzzy inside :P

No, actually, you are singling out Cam. Re-read the first post.
If you had said this was widespread, and didn't single out Cam Newton, then you wouldn't have been singling out Cam Newton. However, that's not how it went down and the only name mentioned is Newton.
(and I don't like Auburn, or Cam Newton and I was rooting for Oregon to win)

whatyoutalkinaboutwillis?
brooke,
I'm sorry, didn't mean to come across like that and I do apologize. And I certainly don't 'know' anything more than the next person regarding the allegations. And I honestly did think you were making a sarcastic statement with your smiley face (just like myself, as a SF Giants fan, stand my ground that Barry Bonds was clean as a whistle, it's only allegations. ;)), again, I'm sorry.
But (tracy) I guess you are correct, I singled out 'Cam' because I was the first to actually state his name, rather than 'he'. Perhaps I made a bad assumption and they were actually referring to some 2nd string offensive linemen on Auburn, and not Cam Newton. Sorry.
Of course they are only allegations at this point. In the past, when NCAA allegations and investigations become public knowledge, they seem to have always had the same results. Not too often do you hear these type of allegations with NCAA sports and they are not later found to be true. But I still think it's kind of silly for anyone to believe that his father was the one trying to receive money, but that 'he' actually knew nothing of it or was not part of it.
Anyhow, sorry Brooke. War Eagle!

Looks like youll have to spend a 1st rounder on him to get him :o
This WR class is ridiculous, maybe has/had the potential to be 1 of the best ever. I was really hoping 1 of the studs fell to the 3rd and we could land him, but with Blackmon and Floyd staying in school thats much less likely than it was in the first place. Still cant believe ESPN/Kiper/McShay had Floyd as the #9 WR and 90th overall. Dude is a beastmaster.

no worries .. as a long time phish fan i've been on boards for evvvvvvver (as i'm sure you have as well) and there are places were people are nasty and disrespectful and i was sure this place wasn't one of them (and it's not) .. that and the fact that tones and intents are easily misread online. by the way, your handle always reads to me as 'walfredo' .. there's a song i wouldn't mind seeing pop up. they busted it out at MPP this summer but that was the 1st & last since 2000. anywh0o0o0o .. back to football.
OH! and another reason why your post just me wrong is that i deal with alot of super classy alabama fans (note sarcasm) on the regular that say the most asinine things. so yeah ... my tolerance for AU bashing is at an all time low :-\
I'm happy for you that AU won (although I was def. pulling for O). I know that is some serious stuff in the state of Alabama, must be nice for AU fans to be able to experience it only one year after 'Bama.
And yes, my name is definitely a play on Walfredo. Didn't make Merriweather this summer (very fitting that they played it there), but did hear it in Vegas 00.
Yeah, its crazy that once Bama returns to glory, the next year Auburn wins it and now have the bragging rights over Bama
