BruiserKC Posted September 17, 2005 Report Posted September 17, 2005 The Huskers' demise isn't permanent. As soon as Callahan's recruits are ready to start, the West Coast offense will become effective, and Nebraska will be back on top of the Big XII North. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You are making the assumption that Husker Nation will be willing to sit back and give Callahan the time needed to make this happen. Pederson (the Nebraska AD) had made it sound like Nebraska wouldn't miss a beat from the Solich to Callahan eras. If Nebraska crashes and burns again I wouldn't be surprised to see both Callahan and Pederson out on their asses. As for my Iowa Hawkeyes...they will be in a bad mood and Northern Iowa is about to get clobbered. This isn't the real rivalry game, Lou Holtz...this is the real blood-letting.
CanadianChris Posted September 17, 2005 Report Posted September 17, 2005 Oh God, going back to that Pitt point...these guys CANNOT under any circumstances be in contention for a BCS bid again. No. Under no circumstances. It was a complete joke they got in the BCS last year, but this year?? After losing to OHIO? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It could happen. Just pray that Louisville doesn't tank the Big East.
Guest I miss Test. Posted September 17, 2005 Report Posted September 17, 2005 Doesn't the Big East loses their BCS spot one of these years?
CanadianChris Posted September 17, 2005 Report Posted September 17, 2005 "The conferences whose champions have a guaranteed annual berth in one of the BCS bowls are subject to review and possible loss of that guaranteed annual berth should the conference champion not have an average ranking of 12 or higher over a four-year period." In other words, last year was an aberration, and as long as Louisville is as good as advertised and/or another Big East team steps up and gets good, there's no problem.
BruiserKC Posted September 17, 2005 Report Posted September 17, 2005 Last year was a pretty good finish for the Big East title...4 teams in contention the final weekend of the season. They just didn't have that overpowering team that can be in the top of the rankings the way they have had in recent years with Va. Tech and Miami. Getting just made Utah's bitch in the Fiesta Bowl didn't help them either. Another Big East team to watch out for...UConn. Their football team looks damn good and they have the means to become a football power in years to come.
cabbageboy Posted September 17, 2005 Report Posted September 17, 2005 Last year the Big East winner was basically a JTTS no matter who it was. I mean wasn't it like Pitt, Cuse, BC, and someone else (WVU?)? Let's face it, none of those teams exactly inspire fear. Man, I was a bit worried the first quarter when Oregon St. jumped out 10-0. But that 2nd quarter was just bad ass for U of L. We went from down 10 to up 35-10 at the half. After the 2nd half with UK I'm still a bit worried, I want to see a consistent effort here. No calling off the dogs.
teke184 Posted September 17, 2005 Report Posted September 17, 2005 On the SEC front, perennial jobber Vanderbilt is kicking the shit out of Ole Miss, 17-3. Looks like the Commodores may be for real this year. 3 more wins after today and they go bowling for only the 3rd time in their history.
Damaramu Posted September 17, 2005 Report Posted September 17, 2005 The funniest thing is that during the offseason I was posting on this College FB message board and I made a poll called "Who will win the SEC?" And I put the big teams on there and then at the bottom as a joke put "Fuck that noise. Here comes Vandy." I didn't think I was serious!
Vern Gagne Posted September 17, 2005 Report Posted September 17, 2005 At least Baylor vs Army as a hot sideline reporter.
Damaramu Posted September 17, 2005 Report Posted September 17, 2005 Man fumbles and turnovers have plagued OU this season After Clayton mishandled the punt last year against OSU and then Bradley mishandled the punt against USC and NOW Holmes messes up the punt against UCLA.......I will forever fear punts as a Sooner.
therealworldschampion Posted September 17, 2005 Report Posted September 17, 2005 Notre Dame is looking horrible against Michigan State, guess I was right about that 6 1/2 point line being too high.
Damaramu Posted September 17, 2005 Report Posted September 17, 2005 Seriously OU.....how hard is it to hold onto the football? Apparently that thing is greased or something everytime OU touches it this season.
therealworldschampion Posted September 17, 2005 Report Posted September 17, 2005 14-10 Michigan State after an Irish FG.
Damaramu Posted September 17, 2005 Report Posted September 17, 2005 *bangs head into table* They could be winning this game if they didn't commit these penalties and turnovers. All 10 of UCLA's points are from turnovers.
therealworldschampion Posted September 17, 2005 Report Posted September 17, 2005 Notre Dame recovers a MSU fumble and gets a TD for a 17-14 lead. Penn State is up 16-0 on Central Michigan.
cabbageboy Posted September 17, 2005 Report Posted September 17, 2005 U of L beat the ever loving shit out of Oregon St. 63-27. What's funny is that I didn't think OR St. was all that bad of a team. I don't like giving up 27 but most of it was garbage points when it was way out of hand anyway. This was Oregon St.'s first loss since that narrow loss to USC last year (was that the fog game?).
Agent_Bond34 Posted September 17, 2005 Report Posted September 17, 2005 This was Oregon St.'s first loss since that narrow loss to USC last year (was that the fog game?). <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, it was. Does anyone know the status of UCLA WR Junior Taylor? I know he got hurt in the first half, but has anyone heard anything more since then?
Bored Posted September 17, 2005 Author Report Posted September 17, 2005 His knee was bent in a bad way so I'm guessing he's done for the game and maybe the season. Looked pretty ugly.
Agent_Bond34 Posted September 17, 2005 Report Posted September 17, 2005 I know his knee was bent in a bad way... that looked awful. I hope he'll be ok.
therealworldschampion Posted September 17, 2005 Report Posted September 17, 2005 Alabama is whipping the shit out of South Carolina 30-7.
2GOLD Posted September 17, 2005 Report Posted September 17, 2005 The Notre Dame bandwagon might get a lot lighter. Michigan St is up 31-17 and just forced a Irish fumble on the MSU 1 yard line. Meanwhile, UCLA is doing exactly what I thought they would. Stacking the box and forcing OU to beat them through the air. And OU just cannot do it. This team is undisplincined and inexperienced. And just as I say it, they change their gameplan and give up a 19 yard run to the quarterback then 11 yd touchdown to Peterson. OU still might get a win here. Zook's Illi leading 14-7 on CAL late in the first half.
therealworldschampion Posted September 17, 2005 Report Posted September 17, 2005 I'm really liking Drew Stanton. This kid looks great, and had he not gotten hurt last year MSU would've beaten Michigan. Miami is up 13-10 and looking to score again, and the Nebraska-Pittsburgh game is quite ugly.
Damaramu Posted September 17, 2005 Report Posted September 17, 2005 Touchdown Adrian Peterson. Ok even if OU wins this game......do they drop out of the Top 25? I'd think that b/c it's on the road against a good team they may just stay right where they're at but this game still doesn't give much hope. Althought Bomar is at least showing some flashes of being a good player someday in between fumbling snaps.

Miami is up 13-10 and looking to score again, and the Nebraska-Pittsburgh game is quite ugly. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That Pitt-Nebraska game is coming across like: "No I don't wanna win, you win." "Oh no, we aren't winning, you win." "No way man, you win!" "NO, YOU!"
Bored Posted September 17, 2005 Author Report Posted September 17, 2005 Michigan State just owns Notre Dame. I knew I should have gone with the upset. To show how little interest there is college football in the Bay Area, Cal's game against Illinois is no where to be found locally on t.v. today. They are losing 17-7 in the 2nd quarter, hehehehe.
Damaramu Posted September 17, 2005 Report Posted September 17, 2005 It's a moot point anyways b/c OU isn't winning this game. Good god it's really like they just want to give the win away. They just keep making as many mistakes as possible. Turnovers, busted plays, boneheaded moves.....just everything possible to not win. It's kind of frustrating.
Hogan Made Wrestling Posted September 17, 2005 Report Posted September 17, 2005 So Baylor and Vanderbilt are now a combined 6-0. Maybe they can play a bowl game against each other at the end of the year.
Bored Posted September 17, 2005 Author Report Posted September 17, 2005 Baylor doesn't have a winnable game on their schedule the rest of the way, they'll end up 4-7 at best if they pull an upset some where. Vanderbilt has three winnable games left to get to 6-5.

It's nice to know that OU has decided to play the whole season with their heads up their asses.
