Any college football fans?
 
I have this passion for watching college football...it is bigger than the Fleetwood Mac passion. Anyone want to join in on this thread during the season?

Georgia vs. Central Michigan (56-17)

I love that these players are kids -- not pro's -- and that their moves and choices are unpredictable.

I love college football.

Go, Horns! Everyone here is freaking out over Ike. They may have to cancel the UT/Arkansas game this weekend.

ETA: Uh-oh. It's official. Wow, ACL weekend is going to be packed!

The Huskers are big faves in my family (Both of my older brothers are fans)


Myself...I am a diehard fan of , and the Broncos of Boise St.


Worst team in college football, that's easy, The University of Oklahoma Sooners ('Sooner' whine and accuse a winner of cheating than accept the asskicking they just received...USC, West Virginia and Boise State will agree!)

I will give Blow-You, I meant O-Who, err, OU credit - they were involved in the GREATEST college football game of all-time - the Jan.1,2007 Fiesta Bowl , Which Boise St. won!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OU=Overrated Undeniably!!!!

3 Other teams I cheer for (the REAL OSU - Okla.St, Florida & Kansas St.) :

I attended UNL when Johnny Rodgers won the Heisman! All of my relatives are in Nebraska and yes, they do have the GO BIG RED toilet seats.

Visiting Lincoln, on game day, is phenomenal. If you're not wearing red, you WILL hear about it!

Oh I ADORE college football. I was a U of L fan before Petrino left. Now I'm attending WKU, so I most certainly cheer for them..... But Basketball season will be better.

Crazy to see Ohio State get smothered by the Trojans.

As a University of Miami football fan, there are only 2 teams we ABSOLUTELY DISPISE.

#1. Florida State - Anyone here who is a Seminoles fan should raise their hand so I can block them ;)

#2. Ohio State - Let us rewind to the 2003 National Championship game...University of Miami vs. Ohio State. Last play of the 4th quarter....botched call by the official. At that time there was no official review, so the call could not have been overturned. Needless to say, Ohio State stole our national championship. So, to see Ohio State get crushed at the Colisseum brought me immense joy :)

That is my college football rant of the week

estranged4life 09-15-2008 12:42 AM

Crushed?

In regards to your #2, USC thought they were suffering "deja-vu" a game very similar to one from their recent past at the Orange Bowl and the opponent was OU instead of Ohio St. - the 55-19 USC ass-kicking of Blow-U still is a sore spot in Norman...Boohoo for Blow-U.

Blow-U has to play Nebraska this year - and I hope the black shirts kick their asses all over Norman just so I can hear David "The FORMER Crooked Democratic US Senator" Boren cry that Blow-U were cheated yet again!!!

Oh and about your #1, since when did Free-Shoe U (aka Florida State = 61 athletes cheating CANNOT be wrong) have ANY fans to begin with? Even Blow-U beat 'em, Hehehehe.



According to a stat I saw, since 2002 the winningest 4 programs in NCAA FBS football are:
1. USC (Best winning record against the Boohoo Sooners!!!)
2. Boise State (Make fun of our blue turf, we'll STILL kick yer asses!!! Ask Blow-U!!!)
3. Texas (BETTER beat Blow-U this year)
4. Ohio St. (?????)

Brian "Still A 'Canes fan too!" j.

estranged4life--

Dan Hawkins should have stayed at Boise State and if so would have had his National Championship...but his heart tugged him to take pity on Colorado and clean up the mess we have here.

I would love to see NU beat OU... where is it played this year?

As for FSU -- I believe they hold classes in how to mug the other team. I swear there's criminal intent behind those hits.

OK...so....whom don't I like (if anyone gives a damn...)

1. Notre Dame (my diskike has to deal in part with that "we're on TV every week" contract and the fact that they think GOD is on their side.)

2. Ohio State (1970? 72?) when they played Michigan and Michigan was gonna kick a field goal to win.....The Ohio State fans tore down the goal post.

The refs switched them to the other side, and the students ripped down that goal post as well. So to score, Michigan HAD to make a touchdown, and they didn't. Woody Hayes.

3. UCLA and only because I can't stand Rick NEUHEISEL. He used to coach at Colorado. I dislike ANY team he coaches for, including girls teams...he got the head coaching position at CU when it should have gone to ---(I can't think of his name ?Simmons? but he went to Okla State) --

estranged4life 09-15-2008 11:25 AM

Hawkins is a great coach (I hope he turns CU around), but Boise St. has not lost a step...Still one team most do not want on their non-conference schedule (O-Who's non-conference schedule this year included the Oklahoma School for the Blind, The Amputee Veterans of America and the Muskogee High School ROUGHERS!!!!!!!)

I cannot stand Neuheisel, He prepared UCLA for a miniature golf game and didnt realize that they were to play a FOOTBALL game against BYU this past Saturday, Thus the 59-0 score. Wow, religion FINALLY (BYU) was good for something!!! Sucks to be a Bruin now.

I like CU, but Neu-Seik-Heil-sel left the Buffs in major trouble...Reminds me of Blow-U's former mens basketball coach, who took his trouble to Indiana and FUBAR'd the Hoosiers in the same manner as he did to Blow-U.

Blow-U plays Nebraska in Norman, So I hope for about 50-70 points (Minimum) from the black shirts of NU so I can enjoy yet another whine story from David "The CORRUPT US Senator" Boren.

I hope to see in my lifetime the Blow-U program get the "Death Penalty" that SMU once received. Without a doubt, the MOST CORRUPT program in ALL college sports lies in Norman, Oklahoma (Definitely the WORST fans - Brag like there's no tomorrow when they win, but whine and accuse when they FAIRLY lose) so bad, that Blow-U makes Neuheisel and FSU seem flawless.

Oh, and Ohio St. has fans??? I thought the only (REAL) OSU with fans are my beloved AGGIES of Okla.St!!!!

In 2007:
Ohio State ranked #3 with an average of 105,110 (102.72% capacity)
Oklahoma State ranked #58 with an average of 40,024 (89.54% capacity)

BTW, I thought they settled who the REAL OSU was in the 2004 Alamo Bowl, when Ohio State flattened Oklahoma State 33-7.:D

The REAL OSU...
 
appears to be Oregon St. (Who I do like as a team, and watching my USC get THUMPED by the Beavers was not a total shock - it happened on their last visit Corvallis)

I hope TCU (the best named collegiate team - The Horned Frogs) throws Blow-U under THE train. Nothing makes me shed a tear of JOY like hearing a Sooner fan WHINE!!!

I was just watching my ABC soaps when I decided to take a break and do some cleaning. Now the ABC sports are on. Football. I'm wishing that Fleetwood Mac had all the fans that this football game attracted. I am not a fan of Football but I Love Fleetweed Mac.

Colordo State got rid of Sonny Lubick and I hope they lose a lot of games!

Go Golden Bears! And horray for such a big point spread!

My teams lost but I still love them! (NU & CU)

Big Problem Brian J....since #1, #3, #4 got knocked off yesterday (as did some others) that will make your favorite team (Blow U ?) the big daddy in the #1 spot.

So... #1 Oklahoma and #2 Alabama (Bear Bryant is celebrating somewhere, somehow.)

doesnt mean doody to me. Playing QUALITY NON-CONFERENCE opponents, such as what USC/Notre Dame/Ohio St./Florida do EVERY YEAR AFTER YEAR weighs more to me than Blow-U wins over UT-Chattanooga/Cincinnati/Washington/TCU (If you think any of those 4 teams are Quality, then I know of some land on the Louisiana Coast to sell to you that DOESNT flood...I'm shocked to NOT see N.Texas or Rice on the Sooners schedule this year, since Blow U almost always plays these CUPCAKES - Now if those were NCAA basketball games, I think it would be a QUALITY schedule).

Hell, My 3 cats could put up the offensive scorings numbers Blow-U does against those tasty CUPCAKES...Let's see O-Who score massive amounts of points against 'Bama/USC/Ohio St./Missouri/Florida.

Enjoy yer #1 the next couple of weeks Blow-U, because after playing (Another non-quality team Baylor) your schedule will prove if you are as GREAT as you assume yourself to be:

Sat, Oct 4 at Baylor Baylor, TX. 11:30 FSN
------------------------------------------------------------
Sat, Oct 11 Texas Dallas, TX 11:00 ABC
Sat, Oct 18 Kansas Norman TBD TBD
Sat, Oct 25 at Kansas State Manhattan, KS TBD TBD
Sat, Nov 1 Nebraska Norman TBD TBD
Sat, Nov 8 at Texas A&M College Station, TX TBD TBD
Sat, Nov 22 Texas Tech Norman TBD TBD
Sat, Nov 29 at Oklahoma State Stillwater, OK 2:30/7:00? ABC


Brian "Roll Tide, ROLL!!!!" j.

ps- I wouldnt be surprised to see O-Who schedule games against Cameron University, Bacone College and Rogers St. in the future :D


One tasty tid-bit for the Nebraska fans, NU offered to play O-Who in a series on "non-conference" games...To which O-Who passed upon, and scheduled series against N.Texas...Can you say COWARDS? I can!!!

Betsy 09-28-2008 12:44 PM

I agree with what you're saying. College rankings change weekly. Who knows what the top ten will look like next week. It's one of the appealing things about watching that stuff.

Little CU (I still love you Dan Hawkins) lost yesterday but there was a cool play... Virginia Tech QB throws a pass, it is tipped, bounces back and he catches his own pass. Does that count as a completion on his stats??? :D

estranged4life 09-28-2008 12:59 PM

And my last PARTING shot at Blow-U (For the moment of course):
