CollegeFootball 2010
 

I was going to hijack iamnotafraid's bama thread...but that would be wrong...just wrong. Bama and the Tide are Rolling...let them have their own.

As for the "also ran's" --- what games did you watch this weekend?

Last weekend it was -- K-State vs. UCLA (Take THAT Rick Neuheisel!)

This weekend it was Kansas vs. Georgia Tech 28-25
(Yes, there were some stupid moves, but these guys are kids and are supposed to do dumb stuff.)

And I like Turner Gill, but then again, I am bias because I graduated from the University of Nebraska.

I will say that I did spend a few hours in Purgatory, as I watched the CU-Cal game...and I didn't even turn it over...I watched the whole massacre...

What games did you watch?

i had to double take on that score myself~

i listened to the husker game on the radio, i watched the bama game as well~ i love turner gill too!!!~ couldn't believe kansas got beat last week, glad to see they turned it around this week~

we are watching suh & the lions right now, i know it's not college per say, but gotta love suh!!!~

One of my really good friends goes to UGA and my roommate's boyfriend goes to Carolina, so I REALLY wanted to watch that game this weekend. Life got in the way, though :(

Hmmmm, I wonder who that really good freind from UGA could be ;)

Anyways, I never understood the fascination with college football (the players are gonna be gone in 4 years, not to mention that the Stony Brook Seawolves are beyond pathetic lol), i'm still gonna root for UGA.

Hahahaha, yeah I like Sara a little tiny bit. You know. :lol:

Neither my school nor the school that I spend most of my time at even HAS a football team. I think I've adopted Yale as my team just to cheer them to beating Harvard. Other than that, I go with PENN STATE, my mommy's alma mater.

well for me, there is no NFL teams in our state, so the nebraska cornhuskers are huge to most nebraskans~ i live in omaha & on game day, there is red EVERY WHERE~ it should be criminal how my neighbor decorates his house/yard for a game~ he even puts out **** that lights up:laugh:~

& also it's awesome to watch the young men develop & see whether or not the have what it takes to play in the NFL~ one of our cornhusker players was 2nd pick in the NFL draft this year, it was a big thing around here~

& on a shallow note, i love watching the cute, cute players~ like alabama used to have a quarterback name john parker wilson, he is dreamy, i never missed a televised game because of him:nod::D~

My mom went to some CUNY (City University of New York) school, I think it was York College or somehwere else smack dab in the depths of Jamaica, but I'm pretty sure they don't have any teams. Sure, the Seawolves basketball one something, but I'm still shocked the football team is D-1. During my freshman year, the annual game with Hofstra (another LI school that I actually thought of going to, but after I saw that I'd have to drive past Nassau Coliseum every day kinda turned me off :lol:) was broadcasted on MSG, a local sports channel that plays Knicks and Rangers games. SBU was doing so bad that, when I caught the last few minutes, our mascot Wolfie had even left. While we lost badly, the real loss went to Hofstra: this year, they got rid of their football team due to budget constraints.

I understand now, especially if you're somewhere that doesn't have an NFL team, but then again, I was more of one for baseball, the Yankees being my team (I'm from New York, and one thing for sure is that the Mets aren't gonna be any less pathetic in the near future :lol:)

we don't have a MLB team here either~ but baseball's college world series has been held in omaha for like 60 years~

we are huge baseball fan's tho~ we drove 24 straight hours to go to fenway park~ we're red sox fans~

:thumbsup:

Oregon Ducks rout the Tennessee Vols 48-13 at Neyland. For once "Rocky Top" was quiet. Even Ole Smokey took a nap.:laugh:

I'm big into U Miami and Stanford. I love love love Cal too, but Stanford has a special place in my heart.

one of my daycare kids, sister plays volleyball for stanford~ she got a full ride, i watch her whenever they play on tv~

Stanford is the only "Ivy" level school that is competitive at the BCS level. I hope the Indians take the Pac-10

Penn State wamp wamp wah.....(Price Is Right Music).
Time for you to pick another team.

Betsy - You could have hijacked my thread, because I'm
going to be talking smack all season long.

ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!

Kentucky romped all over hapless Western Kentucky 63-28. Doesn't someone on here go to Western?

GO BIG RED!!!!!!


Unpaid non-member of the "Californians For The Huskers" club.

Not so sure how I feel about them moving to the 12 team Big 10 next year.....who counts the teams in the conference (and do they have a college degree? Or completed 3rd grade math?)

we weren't too jazzed at first, but now it's exciting!!!~

It's going to take an ex-Big 12 team to get the conference to upgrade their math skills, THAT's for sure. Considering the Division they're going in, the Michigan/Nebraska games should be pretty exciting. (I hope the Huskers DOMINATE them every year so that when it gets around to the Mich/Ohio St game, it means NOTHING! :thumbsup:

LMAO, my hubby is in a quandary because we are now playing michigan, that used to be his 2nd fav college team~ he declared at dinner, he can no longer root for michigan whilst shaking his head in disgust, i was cracking up~

i am excited to play iowa, we live right on the iowa/nebraska border, they all come over here to work, we go over there to gamble~ nebraskan's called them IdiotsOutWanderingAround~ :laugh:, they like to mock us too:D~

Go PITT! I hope we dont get killed by Miami on the 23rd.

Miami? Pitt will be worrying about the Louisville game on Oct 30...a Halloween showdown!

Once a Trojan...
 

ALWAYS a Trojan. I back my USC Trojans no matter what.

My older brother is also on the Nebraska band wagon, but unfortunately he lives in 'Dirtbowl', err Lubbock - Home of Texas Tech who will get smoked this weekend.

One team I will NEVER cheer for, that's easy, The University of Blow-U, Err O-Who...I meant the Boohoo Sooners (Livia, where's that crying O-Who fan picture??? :D )

very true. i sure hope we can win. once again we are picked to win the big east but i dont know if we can do it this year with Sunseri. time will tell i guess.

i love usc too brian~ & yes i'm still a reggie fan~ i know what he did was wrong, but that said, it doesn't take away from his talent~

Akron Zips!
 

Kentucky takes on the always tough Akron Zips this Saturday. “They know how to run the football,” UK coach Joker Phillips said of the Zips.

Lets hope the Cats aren't looking ahead to the Florida game.

USC at Minnesota Gophers...who you got? USC favored by 12. W hy on earth would a school adopt a nickname like "Gophers". That's like the "Rats" or "Squirrels". Better to be a Trojan.:laugh:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...Groundhog3.jpg

Rats or Condoms... which to choose?

Not sure if I'd bet that game, but I'm inclined to take Minnesota and the points. They NEED to win after last week, and USC hasn't looked so great so far this year.

Comdoms vs. Rats...you guys crack me up and I'm not supposed to be on the internet here at work...

Oh... ChiliD -- Be still my heart... That big Red N, says it all... They're on ABC....woo hoo!

Jill (Goddess6) you reminded me of all the bumper stickers I used to see around Sioux City. & Council Bluffs....."I like two football teams...Iowa and whoever is playing Nebraska." I used to HATE reading those...

Brian and his reference to Blow U ... makes me smile every time. I haven't heard that phrase since LAST season. They are against Air Force this week and it's televised here. Man, I want Air Force to win sooooo bad.

kak125 -- My son's been talking about that game on the 30th Louisville & Pitt... he's coming home from college that weekend and already has all the games selected that we'll be watching . (Sadly....We have only one TV that gets reception now that HD has taken over...)

iamnotafraid.... Bama's got Duke tomorrow eh?

JWS, I enjoyed your little brown creature..., but I suppose if he got pissed off enough, he could do some damage. Internet says Kentucky is on TV tomorrow too. I hope that I have the TV to myself tomorrow and the other members of the family have "errands" to run...

Ended up taking this... and while Minnesota didn't win, they did end up barely covering the spread with a "meaningless" TD/XP with 12 seconds remaining!

(I'm such a degenerate.)

HUSKERS passed their first test~ we rolled washington~

Yes, I believe our own Ethan is a Hilltopper.

Kentucky ahead of the defenseless Akron Zips 47-3 in the 4th quarter. What exactly is a Zip and why on earth would they play a SEC school? Answer...money! Big money to take a thumping loss. Yep, now there are funds for womens volleyball.

Yes, but when they WIN, as James Madison (paid $400K by Virginia Tech) and Jacksonville State (paid $500K by Ole Miss) did, its all the more sweeter.

Its rumored that Boise State has offered up to $1M/game to some of the biggest programs in the country to set up a presumably meaningful game- none will bite. The whole system sucks.

Late to the party again, just read this whole thread. Well, you already know who I love and they gave me a scare tonight, but YAY HORNS!!!

"This game was brought to you by Pillsbury Turnovers and Butterfinger bars."

Gilbert's still shaky as a new QB, but most of those incompletions weren't his fault - Tech tipping the ball and receivers who couldn't hang onto the easiest catches.

Did you see that idiot Raider fan wearing the "Tuck Fexas" t-shirt? What he will do w/ that shirt now? Probably burn it. :D

All week, I thought if the Longhorns won, it would be by 3 to 7 points, so I was pleased w/ the final score, and second half shutout. Our defense rocks! And thank goodness Crabtree ain't around anymore. :p

A win is a win, but they need to quit screwing themselves w/ the sloppiness and penalties. It was such a fun, crazy, exciting game to watch!

Oh, here ya go, Brian!

Remember Appalachian State over Michigan. Few big time programs will risk a game with Boise State, yet complain about their relatively weak conference schedule. I would like to see one of the big SEC schools step up and play them

Oklahoma fans salute Air Force before Saturday's football game

By Berry Tramel Oklahoman
Published: September 18, 2010

NORMAN -- A strange thing happened at Owen Field on Saturday. The visiting team ran out onto the field to a standing ovation.

After a national anthem that concluded with a definitely-muted "Sooners!", OU's video board ran a short Air Force tribute, followed by a request from Sooner coach Bob Stoops to stand and cheer the Falcons, for "tomorrow these brave cadets will be defending our freedom."

The crowd of 85,000-plus complied.

Earlier in the week, Stoops had asked fans to sing "brave" instead of "Sooners," which had become an OU tradition in the last decade.

The sound of "Sooners" was definitely muted compared to past games.

Retired Lt. Col. Alan Bonner, an Idabel native, OU grad and former Air Force band conductor, served as guest conductor as student Kevin Wright sang "The Star-Spangled Banner."

Also, the OU fans cheered when the Pride of Oklahoma played Air Force's fight song, "Off We Go," some 15 minutes before game time. And the flyover of four Air Force jets, F-15 Eagles, during the anthem thrilled the crowd.




========================================================

Two comments:

1. I am touched by Bob Stoops & the OU tribute.

2. The fun of living 40 miles from the Air Force Academy is seeing these fly-ers. One year we accompanied the Cub Scouts to an AFA game. The plane was flown by some alumni celebrating his graduation from the academy in 1970-something. The plane was so big and so loud...it brought cheers from the scouts and fear to the adults as it engulfed the stadium.

October 16th, my son and daughter are headed to Lincoln to see the game...one is a Husker Fan, the other a Longhorns fan....motel rooms are sold out....back to 40 miles from Lincoln.

I am not too worried about them driving together on the way to Lincoln, it's on the way back, that someone's gonna get hurt...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I watched bits of the Kentucky - Akron game - [pat on the back to JWS]
I watched Nebraska-Washington until ABC turned the channel... [damn you ABC!]
I watched bits of Air Force - OU ... (Colorado doesn't have a good college football team, except for Air Force.)
I watched UCLA - Houston until Houston was forced to put in their 4th string QB...then it was just too painful to see Rick Neuheisel anymore... [Neuheisel used to coach CU -- and folks around here, just don't like him...]

That's impressive Betsy. Nobody outside of Kentucky or Akron, OH cared a lick for this horrible matchup. Basically, UK bought a win with a big payoff to the Zips....more money than they'll (Akron) earn the rest of the season.

If Boise State wins out (and gets lucky), the nightmare scenario you describe
just might happen. And the Crimson Tide Of Alabama will destroy them.

Maybe that will encourage them to paint that horrible looking blue field a
different color.

ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!
