This Michigan-Ohio State game
is absolutely atrocious. Ohio State is crappy, but Michigan is legitimately horrible. I don’t see how they’ve totaled 100 yards of offense against anyone. Ohio State’s defense isn’t anything special, not when Michigan’s QB can turtle and take a sack after 4 seconds on a 3 man rush.
Allright
This Tennessee Vandy game isn’t that great either. I guess we have to be eased into seeing two competent offenses tonight.

Agreed.
OSU is a fraud. Michigan is Volunteer-bad.
by Stuck in the Plains on Nov 22, 2008 12:17 PM CST reply actions
yea.
At least the Vols try to play defense on most downs.

Who's ready for some TROY TROJAN FOOTBALL???
woooo!!!
going for a third Sun Belt Title in a row!!
im not impressed with your performance
tennessee and noter dame
look like they’ll win. which sucks. stupid florida vs citadel aint on gameplan which also sucks. and louisville played like crap against WFV. oh well, ole miss and lsu starts soon, then the tejas tech vs OU game. hopefully they’ll both be worth watching.
i will be rooting for ol miss, and chaos. and oregon state.
Ahem,
Might I direct your attention to the nationally-televised Apple Cup? I am PUMPED for this one!

Wow
The first biff was the announcer calling the team in maroon, “the hometeam Washington Huskies”….as the Cougs were exiting the tunnel. I just took a bonus drink for that one!

keep up on your reporting for this game...
I have a feeling your posts will get better and better…

The Cougs
just miserably shanked a punt for about 12 yards, the announcers said “ugh” and “that was bad”. FSN cuts to commercial break, and some WSU fans are screaming at the camera “we’re number one”. I almost pissed myself.

No LOLZ is complete without the UT-Vandy QB stats
Put down your drinks. Collectively: 14/37 for 84 yards, 4 Ints/0 Tds, 2.8 yards per pass.

Be careful...
you’re awfully close to the Barn…they might snatch you first.
by Stuck in the Plains on Nov 22, 2008 2:32 PM CST up reply actions
Drinking game must be postponed...
Based on my initial calculus, I had now had three shots by 9:40 a.m., and five in the past thirty-one minutes.
by Stuck in the Plains on Nov 22, 2008 2:31 PM CST reply actions
so if ol miss wins today...
does that make our win over them, combined w/ their two wins over florida and lsu, a “quality win’” for us? and also, what about their bowl chances. i hate miles so much i’d love to him in shreveport and nutt in atlanta or dallas. anyone thinking clear enough to set this straight?
I was actually thinking...
Ole Miss might be the second best team in the division.
by Stuck in the Plains on Nov 22, 2008 2:41 PM CST up reply actions
Now, to speculate on your question...
Even if the Rebs win out, they only go 8-4. That sets them up nicely for the Peach, Outback or Cotton Bowl. BCS will take Bama and UF. Cap One will take UGA (assuming the wheels don’t fall off). Probably then a toss-up between Ole Miss/LSU for the Outback (Cotton takes LSU, I’d assume…close by and the coonasses travel well -obviously). Then you’ve got Peach (probably So.Car). Shreveport is a toss-up for take a six win Vandy. Prolly UK to the Liberty?
This is just my speculation
by Stuck in the Plains on Nov 22, 2008 2:46 PM CST up reply actions
Outback usually takes an East team,
I’d guess South Carolina. I’d have Ole Miss in the Peach, Vandy to Music City (it is in Nashville, after all) and UK to Liberty (Memphis).
Some of the Vandy folks
were talking about how the cmte was trying to duck taking the ’Dores. (makes sense).
by Stuck in the Plains on Nov 22, 2008 2:51 PM CST up reply actions
LSwho sucks
they shouldn’t get to go to the cotton bowl because they’ll probably get waxed by the big 12 team they play. ol miss should go and would actually put up a good fight to the odd team out from the big 12 south.
by tempebamafan on Nov 22, 2008 4:18 PM CST up reply actions
Doubtful,
even if Ole Miss wins today, both teams will likely end up with 8 wins and the Cotton Bowl would probably take LSU over Ole Miss.
and thats why the cotton bowl is assholes
yeah i know it doesn’t make sense, but the cotton bowl is assholes
by tempebamafan on Nov 22, 2008 4:27 PM CST up reply actions
ITs also about
Teams that travel. LSU is a good traveling school and that means more $$$ for the Cotton Bowl. Sucks but thats the bowl system.
When you are an Alabama fan you have to hate Auburn, I hate Tennessee because i want to.
Teams that travel...
…were covered by the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Which is the reason no bowl in its right mind wants Vandy rolling up in their town.
LSU just remembered
Why, yes, we can rush the passer and wrap up.

LOL!
Anyone watching the Cuse-Domer slapfight? Thought not. Anyway, this is how dull it is…Irish students are pelting their own players with snowballs
BTW: ’Cuse is up 10-6 over “Decided Schematic Advantage”

I'm TIVO'ing a bit behind
but that was almost #8 for Lee.
I agree with Troy
Ole Miss regularly give me the heebie jeebies. But, thank god, Nutt can’t recruit, so when DACOACHO’s talent “graduates”, we won’t have to be that scared. Please?
by Stuck in the Plains on Nov 22, 2008 3:57 PM CST reply actions
Bad call...
…but if it was whistled then the Ole Miss players probably gave up and it likely wouldn’t have resulted in a TD anyway.
Regardless, I’ve never seen to “inadvertent fair catch signals with a delay of game for running the ball afterward” called in a looooooooooong time, but never twice in the same quarter.
I thought the first one was a good call,
but I’ve never seen a ref claim that waving a player away from the ball is a fair catch signal, valid or invalid.
Can we watch the F-bombs guys...

Cal Poly leads Wisconsin 23-21 in the 3rd quarter.
It's not like Big XII teams schedule
teams like Eastern Washington, UMASS, UTEP, Rice, Washington, or UT-Chattanooga.

i heard thats where the USA olympic team got their colors....
im not impressed with your performance
Cougars and Huskies
exchange chip shot FGs in OT. 13-13. To 2OT.
I hope the notre dame football team and the students
get in a big fight outside the stadium. btw, they lost to syracuse
Loved that ending!!!
Stuck in the Plains stopped posting with updates on the Apple Cup. Anyone have bets on that he’s passed out from the drinking game?
"I hate everything orange"
It's all about Crimson - ROLL TIDE!!!
ND lost!!
Thats freaking awesome! How great is it to see them suck it up like this. I wonder how much longer they will put up with Wies? Did you guys know he never played football? Ever. Heard that today while watchting the OSU/ UM game.

Thats really weird. Thats like me trying to coach chess…

I think there are four or five D1-A coaches
who never played. Mangino’s one, too.
As a person who played 8 years of football
Including 2 in division II, if i found out my coach never played football, id have trouble respecting him.

Talk about the bar being set low.
The Washington State fans are rushing the field after beating (still) winless Washington 16-13 in 2OT.
Hey its the Pac-10
A damn strong conference if you as Pete Carrol

alabama fan sighting
my girlfriend is in los angeles for a wedding this weekend and just saw a guy on the street in an Alabama shirt and the words “Fuck Love” tattooed on the front of his neck.
The power
has shifted this season in the SEC West. LSU and Auburn were no doubt the two teams that ran the West for much of this decade. Alabama not only won the West this year but we are young and look good to stay on top for a while. Ole Miss clearly will be good for 2 more years with Snead. Nutt can coach and is actually more dangerous in MS than in ARK. LSU and Auburn look down and confused. Key game next year- Bama at Ole Miss.
I think Nutt will always be Nutt
He’ll have a couple big upsets every year then lose one or two he shouldn’t. Until he proves me otherwise, i can’t see him as an elite coach. Just somebody to keep an eye on.
When you are an Alabama fan you have to hate Auburn, I hate Tennessee because i want to.
He might not be elite...
…but he’s good enough to drop a turd in someone’s punchbowl on a yearly basis.

Any predictions on the TTU-OU game?
Im going with OU.

OU
Pretty big…I just don’t like the way TT matches up. They will get points, but nto enough, cuz they cant run.
by Stuck in the Plains on Nov 22, 2008 7:42 PM CST up reply actions
I predict OU
will be up 28-0 midway thru 2nd quarter.
by yellowhammer on Nov 22, 2008 8:29 PM CST up reply actions
im going with a half time score of
42-7 OU. Not sure why but that score sounds about right.

On a computer right now. Dell sucks but its a good price.

Okay...I'm from the stone age
but I can’t pick up ABC with my rabbit ears here in rural AL. Is OU’s defense that good, or is TTU’s offense just that rotten tonight.
Is there even a faint possibility that even if Bama loses to Florida in the SEC (spits twice to ward off bad luck) title game that we still go to the NC game?
I bleed crimson and white...I puke Vol puke orange. RTR
ok
A) Tech’s offense, I think.
B) No. I wish it were so but we don’t have the strength of schedule, plus we’ve seen in the past that the voters are reluctant to put two teams from the same conference in the championship game (see Ohio State/Michigan two years ago).
Thinking ahead...
Assuming we win and UF beats FSU, who would the SEC champ play for the NC if Oregon St. wins next week and Missouri wins the Big XII championship game?
I would have to think Penn St. as the only other major conference champ with one loss. The only other possibilities are one of the Big XII South teams that didn’t make their championship game, or USC who wouldn’t even be Pac-10 champs.
Oklahoma or Texas,
whoever doesn’t win the division.
I think the ole proverb...
defense wins championships just got definitively proven… made me a believer…
Hey Texas Tech...
We’ll be taking those #1 votes, you won’t be needing them anymore. Thank you very much.
be interested to see if bradfords back to run up the score some more
dont get me wrong, i can appreciate the beat down ok’s put on tech tonight but it’s 65 to 14……oh wait that’s right “style points”…..
"When you ask me those kind of questions it really pisses me off! aight" - CNS
Bradford's out,
but they’re still throwing.
Wow.
That “defenseless receiver” call was the worst call I have ever seen, bar none.
hell of a hit that receiver took though
but yeah, didnt like the call…
"When you ask me those kind of questions it really pisses me off! aight" - CNS
Style points count!!!!
whatever happened to winning with class????
"When you ask me those kind of questions it really pisses me off! aight" - CNS
when you have a loss
And a team ahead of you is undefeated. Running up the score is your only option. It sucks but thats the state of the game.
Also, ill put 100 down that OU is #1 tomorrow. Any takers?
(of course i speak in hypothecial dollars. Im to broke to try to bet real money)
When you are an Alabama fan you have to hate Auburn, I hate Tennessee because i want to.
I'll take it.
1) Bama
2) OU
3) Texas
4) Florida
A little different
I think the B12 should be docked for frontloading with pansies, then everyone is undefeated in October and poll position is set. Does anyone REALLY think on a neutral field that TTU was the second best team? Or UT? Maybe OU, but…
1. Alabama
2. Florida
3. OU
4. UT (just ain’t believing it, despite the head-to-head)

thats 100 dollar IOU

WTF?
I go freeze my butt off watching UAB find another way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, and come home to find Texas Tech gets whipped up and down?
TT thought
They were playing Oklahoma St. again. They just now realized their error.

same thing I thought
I was at a friend’s birthday party… found a tv… tuned in at the end of half time and my jaw dropped!!!
