Art Sandusky 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2003 Jimmy, where'd that avatar come from? I must see whatever larger work it came from. Oh, and I would have watched the Bayou Classic, but Tennessee/Kentucky was on at the same time and was (unfortunately) a close game until the final Tennessee touchdown, so it's not because I'm a southern white bastard.

Mr. S£im Citrus 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2003 ... Southern-Grambling may be a tradition, but so is Navy-Army and I'm not watching THAT fucking game either. So be it. Myself, I don't really care much for football, and I care even less for college football, but there are three games I watch every year: GT/Georgia (since I went to GT), Navy/Army (since I'm in the Navy), and the Bayou Classic (since it's the FUCKING BAYOU CLASSIC~!).

Guest Redhawk Report post Posted November 30, 2003 I can talk Bayou Classic: 1. Bruce Eugene is a good passer, but he's just so damn fat he'll never make the NFL. Which is sad because that's basically his fault. You can't even use the "Black QB not getting a chance" or the "small college QB not getting a chance" argument. He's the Black Jared Lorenzen, except Lorenzen is a little more built and not as jiggly. 2. I'll still watch the game every year, but it's lost some it's luster since Eddie Robinson retired. 3. Because of the Bayou Classic, neither is eligible to compete in the I-AA playoffs Why? What's the story behind this? 4. It sucks how they don't even show the whole halftime show anymore. NBC is so antsy to cater to their advertisers that they started cutting away from the bands to show more commericals. 5. Speaking of halftime, here's how I'd run it: No ass-kissing formations (NBC, USA, State Farm, etc.), no more people talking over the PA system, and each band must play at least one current song and one old-school song (not just band songs).

Bored 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2003 Hmmm I'm thinking your thinking LSU might still get an at-large BCS berth if they lose to Georgia thus taking away Ohio State's spot and bumping everyone else down in the Big Ten. I don't think you have to worry about that as I'm pretty sure the BCS wants a Miami/Ohio State re-match no matter what....if that was what you were thinking.

The Bayou Classic is always held during the first or second week of the I-AA playoffs, so there's no point in scheduling either team to compete in them.

A risk because all the problems off the field, but could be the man to usher the Cornhuskers offense into the new millenium. I was going to explain why that won't happen but said "fuck it" and here is explanation from collegebcs.com: At-large teams can earn guaranteed selection in the following ways (in order of preference): 1. Finish first or second in the BCS rankings. 2. Finish in the top six of the BCS standings as an independent team or team from a non-BCS conference. If a team besided Notre Dame qualifies in this manner, then the Irish would also automatically qualify by winning 9 non-exempt games or finishing in the top 10 in the BCS standings. 3. Be the highest rated at-large team remaining and finish either third or fourth in the BCS rankings. Only one team can automatically qualify under this provision. Don't worry...Minnesota will be spending New Year's Eve in lovely El Paso. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

God....missed most of the second half of my ISU/Mizz game just to listen to him drone on like a fucking idiot. He kept saying "There's no magic formula to win football games" then turned around and said "USC has a great formula that we are going to model ourselves after." Then said "Talent is overrated. As long as you have drive and hard work you don't need talent." Yeah Mike...tell that to your brother and The Sooners. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teke184 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2003 Stolich is being unfairly run off, but Nebraska isn't a program that can live with just being above .500 and, as people can tell, neither is Auburn. They'll come to realize how good a coach they might have run off when the next guy struggles to hit .500 with Stolich's recruits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2003 Solich was screwed from the beginning. Replacing one of the best coahces in college football history is difficult enough, add to the fact Nebraska never had the great recruiting classes teams like Texas, and Michigan had.

Unfortunately they're 2-2 in the previous HUGE games (Beat Purdue and N. Illinois, lost to OSU and Miami (ohio)) The good news is it's in Bowling Green...and teams don't just walk in and win games in Bowling Green.
