College Football 2009

[Betsy]

Hey estranged4life....How about those Oklahoma State Cowboys?

Goddess6 & ChiliD ... How about those Huskers? (We went to the local Nebraska-in-Colorado bar to watch the game on pay-per-view. Those people went wild.)

CU lost to CSU but I still love you Dan Hawkins...however, you better start winning this year, or your butt is ¡Adios Amigo!

I am looking forward to watching Ohio State & USC and Michigan & Notre Dame.

And am wondering what's gonna happen to Brianj's favorite Team Blow-U now that Sam Bradford is injured.

I can't remember who all contribute to this thread last year, but if you got a favorite. Speak up.

[ILoveFM]

Georgia Bulldogs baby!

I'm sure we'll lose a few games this year, but I have a feeling we won't be as bad as everyone is expecting us to be :)

[estranged4life]

Naturally OSU chokes against Houston, but at least my USC Trojans prevailed!!!!

[Livia]

Go HORNS! I am ashamed of myself for being worried at halftime, but the second half was a whole 'nother ball game. Literally. :thumbsup: I'm so impressed w/ the freshman.

OU and OSU - it's a good news/bad news thing for the Horns, the Chokelahoma teams are weakening the Big 12 conference.

[ILoveFM]

What an exciting weekend in college football! Georgia pulled out a win against the gamecocks. I was so scared that the gamecocks were going to get that touchdown BUT they didn't :D Notre Dame and Michigan was an excellent game as well. I thought ND would pull out the win but was happy they didn't. I don't really like Lou Holtz ;) Let's see... Oh, Alabama and Flordia won, big suprised. USC pulled out a win against OSU. I knew they would! OSU is so overrated and ranked. Yep, that's about it. I LOVE college football!

[daniellaaarisen]

I was at the Cal/E. Washington game tonight and the Bears kicked ass :) We'll see how the rest of the year works out.

[Musicman408]

lol...You know what they say...if you're not a gator, you're gator bait! :p

I've had a few classes with Tim...he's really, really, really nice. I'm so happy he came back this year :)

Yea he seems like such a cool and nice guy. He's a great player, that's for sure. But I was born AND raised in Athens so I hate Flordia no matter how many times they beat us haha. I think GA has more wins overall in the series but in the last 20 years it has been downhill for us haha.

[iamnotafraid]

ROLL TIDE ROLL!

[LikeAWillow]

Go Pitt!!! Woot!

I never thought I would go against you sports wise, but I must say....



WE ARE








PENN STATE!

For the longest time I couldn't figure out who this was!!!

Oh Syracuse football!!;)

[iamnotafraid]

PENN STATE!

Time to get rid of that antique on the sideline, don't you think?

[LikeAWillow]

If he actually made any real decisions, sure, but when he's just a figurehead who roams around main campus yelling at trees, well, that's just inspiring! :laugh:

oh no not another penn state person! ugh you guys are everywhere, ha! its all good though cuz penn state really choked last year in their bowl game, lol but so did pitt so i guess we are even!!

[Betsy]

You people make me smile!

"Gator Bait"
"Antique on the sideline"

As for me, I am looking forward to this weekend. CU plays Wyoming. I am "praying to the commerical Gods" (Stevie line from Destiny Rules) that CU wins.

Dan Hawkins is such a positive man...and not like the egomaniac/sexist /unstable coaches we've had in the past (Neuheisel/Bartnett/McCartney). But because he plays his son as QB, there's a lot of guff going on. That offensive line won't hold them, and little Hawkins is constantly having to pick his ass up off the turf.

I think Coach Hawk is trying to civilize CU -- at one game the whole student section got ejected from the game by the ref's... so there's this empty section...and I think it was a Nebraska game...which was televised.

So with the positive Dan Hawkins quotes in the media, I just really like the guy. He even shakes the hands of the opposing players and pats them on the helmet at the end of the game as he's headed for the opposing coach handshake. [End of soap box speech].

What games are you guys looking forward to this weekend?

[chiliD]

Three words....


GO BIG RED!!!

^^^
How did I know you'd say that?

They're playing Virginia Tech, right?

We will be watching that one too. My 19 year old is a GO BIG RED fan, even though he attends CU. He is so excited about Callahan being gone the the P-brothers taking over.

[iamnotafraid]

That's funny Willow.

(Damn you Virginia Tech!!)

My favorite teams are Nebraska and Colorado.... (BTW, CU beat Wyoming 24-0 )

But me and my heart were really screaming at the TV and cheering for the Huskers....(I graduated from UNL in 1976...)

Ugh.... 16-15

That game broke my heart!

[ILoveFM]

I'm watching the Ga/Ark game right now. It's half time. Georgia was losing 10 to 21 at one point but has come back to lead it 27-21! Let's go dawgs!!

[Steviefan49]

Go HORNS! I am ashamed of myself for being worried at halftime, but the second half was a whole 'nother ball game. Literally. :thumbsup: I'm so impressed w/ the freshman.

I'm sorry Bets.. but I'm DYING.. Why haven't I heard that one before?? And if I did.. why did I forget?? Time for some more Ginko.. LOLOLOLOL :laugh:

[slipkid]

Time to get rid of that antique on the sideline, don't you think?

Well now that the "antique" suffered through five years of other schools discouraging top prospects not to sign with PSU (cause A) he'll retire or (cause B) do a Bear Bryant, didn't pan as planned? PSU played USC in the Rose Bowl last year. Sure, they were destroyed, but they wouldn't have been there in the first place without Paterno.

Paterno is not Connie Mack (if you need to search this name, it's important). Take a look at FSU. Bowden has completely lost it. His staff runs the team, not the case with Paterno. Paterno was demonstrating onside kicks last season when he injured his knee. You think Bowden is doing that at FSU?? I think Bobby Bowden needs the sippy cup these days. :laugh:

I like Paterno & Penn State, but he's every bit (at least 90%) of what Bowden is at the moment, in terms of active involvement. Granted, Paterno is older and in poor health- Bowden's just an personality-driven idiot wholly dependent on his assistants (just as he's always been)

How 'bout those Kentucky Wildcats!!

[Betsy]

Hey LikeAWillow...

Gonna watch Iowa vs. Penn State??? (I am!)

http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x7/ewgubbels/PennSt2009FBposter-c.jpg

lol, i have a friend who got a full ride to stanford because she plays volleybal for them~ i loved watching her play national champinship last season here in omaha~


ok i was dressed in my nebraska husker pj bottoms & my red sox tshirt...yeah it's quite a site:]~ & when i finally went to bed, they were both losing~ but boy was i super happy when i woke up & saw the huskers came back in the 4th quarter to score 27 unaswered points!!!~ yaya baby!!!~ & our coach is such a man of many words:rolleyes:~ when they asked him what attributed to the win, he said" well we made some plays, before we didn't make any plays"~ lololol gotta lol bo!!!~


& piss the bo sox were shut down~

[Betsy]

The Nebraska Defense was freakin' awesome! That Ndamukong Suh was a powerhouse! I love to watch that guy!

http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x7/ewgubbels/suh.jpg


The fourth quarter was riveting and my hands hurt so bad from clapping. Meanwhile, the dog was frightened by my screaming that he hid in his kennel. That was incredible. I never thought Nebraska would come back like they did. And the weather was awful....rain, rain, snow and cold.

[Steviefan49]

All I can say after tonight's game is :


Our Horns are on fire! WE DID IT AGAIN!!!!

H O R N S P O W E R

[GypsyBlueEyes]

GO

My best friend and I agree the Georgia should just forfit the game against FL. Not to say that Flordia has been impressive against SEC teams this year, but I can't even imagine what they will do to us if we lost that badly to Tennesse.

[Livia]

YAY, LONGHORNS!!

Dang, another nail-biter - good thing mine are acrylic or I would've chewed 'em all off. :p I actually cried tears of joy, now where's that OU crying kid jpg?

Charlie Weis will be looking for a new job at season end.

[estranged4life]

Blow-U is currently making excuses (As usual per loss) about their loss to Texas. Myself, I enjoyed EVERY bit of it...Trust me, Bradford has played his last game for the Boohoo Sooners.

I'm glad to see my Trojans took care of Notre Dame

[JWS]

My GA Bulldogs won today!!


Yeah, but Kentucky is on the schedule in four weeks! UK knocked off UGA in 2006 and ruined their SEC hopes.

UGA, the mascot dog, is so wimpy he has to sit on a bag of ice in an A/C doghouse during a game to keep cool. You don't see Tennessee's hound "Smokey" needing this. Uga is a SEC mascot disgrace!

Thanls Arlene. I am on Day 13 of this crud. I went to the Doctor who tested me for H1N1 and Strep but I was negative for both. He says that I have a sinus infection but my throat is on FIRE....and I've missed 6 days of work.

But I can still watch TV and college football.

We seem to only get Big 12 games on TV today (Kansas v. OU) (Nebr v. Iowa State - 8 Turnovers Nebraska...really?????? Iowa State hasn't won in Lincoln since 1977).

How did other teams do this week?

Awww.. I SOOO hope you get better soon.. So do you guys have to see Texas via pay for view? I know my poor Brother in law has to do that out in Florida.. as they can't get any of the local "Texas" channels there, of course.. so that sucks..

[ILoveFM]

Hahaha The University of Southern Cal is losing to Stanford in the 4th quarter. What an overrated team!

Georgia plays Auburn tonight. Let's Go Dawgs. On another note, I'm watching the FL/USC game. I hope Florida loses! Come SC pull this win out, you are playing very well!!

WOW! :blob1::blob2:

WOW! :blob1::blob2:

That was a hell of an ending for Texas and I'm glad they won, but wow. They got very, very lucky. I don't understand what Colt was thinking on his final play, but luckily he got away with one second so that the field goal could be kicked to win the game.

I'll say this time and time again, not one single coach/coordinator/player on any level of football (college or NFL) understands clock management.

If Texas goes to the national championship, they are going to have to look a lot better on all sides of the football. I realize that Alabama's defense is not as strong as Nebraska's, but still. The only way I see them winning is if Alabama comes out overconfident.

Anywho, congrats on winning the Big 12! Exactly half of my family had heart attacks this evening. :lol:

How was Nebraska robbed and raped? They didn't exactly outplay the Horns offensively, they didn't even score one touchdown. They also gave us a huge gift with the personal foul call on the last drive. This game was all about defense from both teams. In the post-game conference, Colt said he thought there were 2 seconds left on the clock - Mac Brown said he called a timeout, but the officials didn't hear him over the crowd noise. Assuming that's true, the officials should have expected, and looked right at him, for a timeout call. Regardless, the review of the clock was correct. The Horns aren't dumb enough to let themselves run out of time.

If anyone was robbed and raped, particularly by the BCS system, it was UT, last year. :cool:

[iamnotafraid]

The Horns aren't dumb enough to let themselves run out of time.

I'd confer with LSU on that statement.

Glad to see that there were others on this
board pulling for THE TIDE.

Nebraska's offense needs some tweaking...

However....Two outstanding players:

Alex Henery, has one heluva leg/foot/aim.

That 57 yard FG against Colorado last year was freakin' awesome.

Florida and Tim Tebow

Tebow won the Heisman for the 2007 season. And the 2007 season BCS National Championship game was LSU winning over Ohio State.

Florida was in the 2008 National Championship game and won versus Oklahoma, but Sam Bradford (of OU) had the Heisman in 2008.

So basically it's the "curse of the Heisman."

If Texas goes to the national championship, they are going to have to look a lot better on all sides of the football. I realize that Alabama's defense is not as strong as Nebraska's, but still. The only way I see them winning is if Alabama comes out overconfident.

Anywho, congrats on winning the Big 12! Exactly half of my family had heart attacks this evening. :lol:

hell yeah~ i live in nebraska~ we were so robbed, raped & it's bull****~ good thing i am a bama fan, god help you colt!!!~


roll tide!!!~

How was Nebraska robbed and raped? They didn't exactly outplay the Horns offensively, they didn't even score one touchdown. They also gave us a huge gift with the personal foul call on the last drive. This game was all about defense from both teams. In the post-game conference, Colt said he thought there were 2 seconds left on the clock - Mac Brown said he called a timeout, but the officials didn't hear him over the crowd noise. Assuming that's true, the officials should have expected, and looked right at him, for a timeout call. Regardless, the review of the clock was correct. The Horns aren't dumb enough to let themselves run out of time.

If anyone was robbed and raped, particularly by the BCS system, it was UT, last year. :cool:

Nebraska's offense needs some tweaking...

However....Two outstanding players:

Alex Henery, has one heluva leg/foot/aim.

That 57 yard FG against Colorado last year was freakin' awesome.

The Nebraska Defense is incredible...O'Hanlon, Amukamara, Gomes, Crick...

and Ndamukong Suh? Sorry Colt, Teebow, et. al., I want him for the Heisman.


http://www.suh93.com/

yay, betsy, i agree w/ everything you said & i was freaking when the news announced suh for the heisman!!!~ i still wear my eric crouch heisman shirt all the time & would love to add another to my collection:nod:~

also as a big bama fan, i say bring on the horns baby~ the tide is gonna roll all over them!!!:nod:~


How does a replay guy in the booth even THINK to review the last second of a game?? (unless he's paid off)

Granted the kicker still had to make the field goal, but, there never should've even been the attempt...the game was over.

Just reminded me of the Olympic Gold Medal basketball game in '76 between USA & USSR, they kept adding time back on the clock for the final 3 seconds until the Soviets finally hit the winning shot.

It was fixed. A damned fix. Huskers got screwed out of the Big 12 championship. Sure, they weren't playing for the NATIONAL title, but Texas shouldn't be there EITHER, they lost the game, they KNOW they lost the game, Mack Brown knows he lost the game, Colt McCoy DEFINITELY knows he lost the game.

I know no one here follows Texas Tech's football program, but I have to say that today is a sad, sad day.

It's too long of a story to type out, but a quick Google search will tell you everything.

Craig James is an ass and for some reason he's acting like a little league father, speaking out for his son. Gag.

As whack as Leach is, he is the best thing that's happened to that university this decade.

I'm going to San Antonio for our bowl game on Saturday-- sure to be a rowdy game. Fans are pissed.

au contraire mon frere

There's definitely some ill will between Leach and Texas Tech Athletic Director Gerald Myers.

Leach was due an $800,000 bonus on Dec. 31 if he was head coach at Texas Tech....so...they decided to fire him BEFORE the end of the year.

I kinda like "the mad scientist" (Leach) ... and Craig James (?) not so much.

I'd like to see Leach stay in the Big 12.

Kansas has an opening...

P.S. GO BIG RED

Gonna enjoy seeing Suh and the defense....

I hope the offense has some plays .... and poor Henery doesn't have to do all the work...

Brian Rosenthal: For Lincoln Southeast band, it's a job well done

SAN DIEGO — They sat in the spot where Nebraska’s band was supposed to sit, wore red and played the appropriate fight songs at the appropriate time.

Consider it a job very well done by the Marching Knights of Lincoln Southeast High School.

You’ve probably heard by now that last week’s blizzard kept the Cornhusker Marching Band from making a 30-hour bus trip to San Diego. The Southeast band, which had already been planning to perform with other high school bands as part of the Holiday Bowl halftime show, subbed for the varsity.

Yeah, the pace was a tad bit slower, and the volume of 100 instruments isn’t what you’d hear from the volume of 300, but who cares?

Outstanding job, Marching Knights. You sounded great and represented the state well.

The band, led by director R.J. Metteer, received a loud ovation from the Nebraska fans as it was introduced during the pregame show as “representing the University of Nebraska.”

We then heard “March of the Cornhuskers,” followed by “Hail, Varsity!” Then band members filed into the corner of the lower stands, shed their Southeast band uniforms and showed off the red Nebraska T-shirts they’d been wearing underneath.

When Nebraska scored touchdowns — yes, plural! — we heard the full version of “Hail, Varsity!” something I haven’t heard after TDs in several years. (And, yes, they finished before the extra point, with time to spare).

And remember, these young men and women learned the Nebraska songs in only a matter of days.

Seems most of them are not on the conspiracy bandwagon, believe that there was indeed one second left on the clock, and they'll be rooting for Texas on Thursday, knowing that if Texas wins, it will be good for the Big 12 conference.

And that's all I have to say about that.

Leach going to Kansas would be interesting. Although it would make the Kansas administration look like hypocrites, considering Mangino is gone for similar circumstances. :rolleyes: Mangino's health worries me. Every time I see him, I think of Chris Farley choking and having heart attacks in the "Ditka...sausage...Da Bears" sketches on SNL.

[LukeA]

Kansas hired Turner Gill (formerly of U. of Buffalo) three weeks ago.

Leach will end up at another lower-tier BCS school where he can run his gimmick offense that has proven unable to beat top teams (he has something like a 15% winning percentage vs. ranked teams) yet schedule enough cupcakes to ensure a bowl appearance most every season. You know, the Bill Snyder/KSU formula.

[iamnotafraid]

I'll give all you Ledgies one last chance to hop on board,

What makes you think that Texas Tech is a lower-tier BCS school?

I don't think Leach is hireable at this point. Not until this whole thing blows over and another big college football story comes along-- which will probably happen win #2 beats #1 on Thursday night. ;)

He's taken the team to a bowl game every year for the past decade (with a record of 6-4).
Obviously something good worked out on all sides of the ball.

I was referring to the lower-tier status TT had when Leach took over. They're still certainly a lower tier Big 12 school, though. They'll never be able to recruit on the same level as other schools in their conference (the built-in Texas HS football advantage can only carry them so far). Leach pretty much maximized & realized the program's potential.

I don't think Leach is hireable at this point. Not until this whole thing blows over and another big college football story comes along-- which will probably happen win #2 beats #1 on Thursday night. ;)

Oh, definitely- he's unhireable at the moment. He'll get a job next year, though.

This isn't necessarily an indictment of TT/Leach, but, it doesn't take much of anything to get to a bowl game. If you're a Big 12 team and you have 6 wins (even if 2 of them came against I-AA level cupcakes), you're going to a bowl game. Not exactly a beacon of pride.

Alabama is running the ball down their throat. With McCoy out this game will turn into a rout. The "real" national championship was Alabama over Florida in the SEC title game. If Texas played in the SEC they would have had two losses this year.

[JWS]

Texas just threw the game a way with a senseless pass and TD interception with just seconds left in the half. (Bonehead call says Lee Corso)

[FMlex]

McCoy was hurt in the first series.
Texas fans can't blame the backup qb (Gilbert) for how he is playing. He is completely inexperienced and was just thrown into the national championship in the footsteps of McCoy.

Texas needs to put in Childs because Gilbert is not able to move the ball. The standard run, run, throw on 1, 2, 3 is too "by the book."

It was a good game-- I know Alabama fans are going to say that Texas fans are being sore losers when they say that they would have won with Colt, but it's kinda true.
Texas without Colt = Florida without Tebow. (minus the crying bit)
It's just not gonna happen.
Just sayin'.

EDIT to add: "God is in control of my life and I'm standing on His rock." Well said, Colt. I can't imagine how he feels right now, getting to only play four snaps in his last game as a Longhorn. Say what you will about him and how wimpy he is, but he's the real deal. (This coming from a split house family: Texas, A&M, and Tech.)

I don't usually care for football, but my husband was watching it, I was reading. Not long after the game was over, did anyone else catch that one of the marching bands was playing Tusk?! I just heard it and looked up. They were showing people on the field so I couldn't tell which band was playing it.

[Livia]

Ugh, so heartbreaking. :distress: We could "what if" it to death. Had Colt not been hurt, it would have been a very different game, that's for sure. My hopes were raised at the 24-21 point, but we all know what happened. :( Props to UT's defense and for the team hanging in there and playing hard. I can't imagine the amount of pressure Gilbert must have felt.

Yeah, I did hear Tusk. That was Alabama's band - their mascot is an elephant. I've never known why, can someone explain that, please?

[Betsy]

Well...

I did feel badly that Colt got hurt. The offense is built around that guy.

When the Tide rolled to a 24-6 lead at halftime, I thought, "This is gonna be a massacre, and do I really want to watch?"

Then I heard where Texas was playing with their back up quarterback and their backup center...and I thought...." Crap. Do I really want to stay on this channel?"

I wanted to see an equal match-up...which then made the third quarter and second half impressive when Texas brought it to 21-24.

Gilbert? I hope that the kid isn't beating himself up over the interceptions and tragic fumble, but I am sure he is. That poor bastard was probably thinking that he was gonna enjoy the scenery/vacation and ended up enjoying the scenery of the Alabama defense and the turf up close and personal.

Of course, I am more familiar with the Big Twelve (also known as the little dozen in some parts of the US ;) especially where JWS lives :D ) so my heart was deep on the Texas side of things... And I wanted to see Texas improve since the Nebraska game...but my college son kept telling me that the Tide was gonna roll, and I didn't believe him.

The Alabama defense was impressive and Dareus was excellent for his effort.

I was worried when Mark Ingram got hurt. I don't want to see anyone hurt, but he managed to come back at the end and show us impressive stuff, along with that freshman Trent Richardson. Both had over 100 yards rushing.

The game was entertaining, in its shifts of momentum and bizarre and ballsy coaching decisions.

It is Alabama's turn at being #1 again and I am sure Bear Bryant is smiling somewhere.

http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x7/ewgubbels/PaulBryant1.jpg

And now Nick Sabin has his second crown.

The best team won with the best players.

(Though personally, I thought Boise State and TCU were better teams ... but ... I don't want to start any fights... :D The season is over.)

Thanks to everyone who an interest and took part in this thread. I had fun reading your comments and I hope you had fun too.

See you in the fall.

The origin of the mascot dates back to 1930. On October 8, a sportswriter wrote about the previous weekend's Alabama-Ole Miss football game. The writer, using the flair for the dramatic common in sportswriting at the time, wrote that an anonymous fan yelled out "Here come the elephants" upon hearing the rumble of the first team coming on the field. The name stuck throughout what became a national championship season and beyond.

Well, the college football season is finally over and the SEC took its rightful place as the best conference in the nation for four straight years (a record by the way). I see the SEC, with LSU and Florida in the wings, running off another two, three NC's . (That's SEC as in Southeatern Conference...not Securities and Exchange Commission. A Harvard lawyer once asked me why the Securities and Exchange Commission would be involved with college sports:lol:)

Now we have the annual coaching marry-go-round with USC's Pete Carroll going to the NFL, Leach fired at Texas Tech, Rich Brooks retiring at Kentucky, Tuberville to Tech and on and on.
