HarleyQuinn Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 Notre Dame kept their cool and are now up 14-10 and looking to add another TD with it being 3rd down now around the 19 and McKnight drops an easy 1st down...damn.
Vern Gagne Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 Does Brent Musburger ever shut up?
Damaramu Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 What is with these Big XII teams playing a joke of a schedule to start out? ISU, OU, Texas, Baylor, Texas Tech, and Nebraska are the only ones that started out with D-1 opponents. Did they meet with the SEC or something? OU probably had the toughest season opener of everyone in the Big XII and aside from Texas and Nebraska may have the toughest non conference schedule in the Big XII. The local radio dude was going on about how playing at Oregon was a mistake and welcoming Washington is another mistake...but hey they play Mid Tenn State! Paul Thompson played well enough. He'll be ok. He did have the two INTs(one was a tip and one was taken away from the receiver) but he had a good completion percentage, 2 TDs, and more yards than anyone thought he would. I mean it took Bomar 4 games to even throw a TD pass! OU's defense was pathetic though. It was touted as being so awesome and possibly the best in the country. Reggie Smith played awesome and corner and was just plain badass on the kick returns but DJ Wolfe played HORRID at corner and the front 7 looked lost everytime the QB took off with the ball. It was like Watson Brown was reading Brent Venables mind and picking him apart. Venables looked foolish. If OU doesn't fix that then Oregon is just going to throw to Wolfe's side of the field all game long and win 49-10. It was good though that they got Peterson going and good that they got him into the passing game. He had a 69yd TD reception!
Black Lushus Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 As far as I can tell, Nebraska has always had lame games prior to getting into conference play...I can't remember the last time they faced a team the caliber of USC before getting into conference play.
Vern Gagne Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 The extra non-conference game is a big reason you're seeing so many one-sided matchups.
strummer Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 and ND wins a game they had absolutely no right winning. Figures. OMG Charlie Weiss is fearless and stuff because he coached for the Patriots!!!
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 Fuckin' A Charlie Weis rules. 4th down and 1 with the lead and he goes for it. Attaboy. Gailey gets outcoached again.

OU probably had the toughest season opener of everyone in the Big XII and aside from Texas and Nebraska may have the toughest non conference schedule in the Big XII. The local radio dude was going on about how playing at Oregon was a mistake and welcoming Washington is another mistake...but hey they play Mid Tenn State! Point of reference... This week's SEC schedule- vs I-A schools Tennessee vs. Cal Florida vs. Southern Miss LSU vs. UL-Lafayette Arkansas vs. USC Auburn vs. Washington St. Vanderbilt vs. Michigan Alabama vs. Hawaii Ole Miss vs. Memphis South Carolina vs. Mississippi St. Kentucky vs. Louisville vs I-AA schools Georgia vs. Western Kentucky Big 12 vs I-A Nebraska vs. LA Tech Baylor vs. TCU Iowa State vs. Toledo Texas vs. North Texas Oklahoma vs. UAB Texas Tech vs. SMU vs I-AA Colorado vs. Montana State (AND LOST!) Kansas vs. Northwestern State (LA) Missouri vs. Murray State (KY) Texas A&M vs. Citadel Kansas St. vs. Illinois St. I think the Big 12 has officially taken the "crappiest OOC scheduling" rep from the SEC for not only scheduling half their first-week games against I-AA teams but the Big 12 North champ from last year LOSING to one of them.
Damaramu Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 I still don't think Colorado was the best team in the north. It's just the way things fell. Well I guess two major conferences can't schedule crappy opponents. The Big XII and SEC played poker to see who would get to schedule all the I-AA teams. Oh well OU has all D-1 schools this season and two of them are from a BCS conference. Man what a shitty start to the season. OU struggles and USC and Texas blow their opponents out. My worst nightmare! Wait that happened all last season but it was bad then too. The worst thing about USC blowing Arkansas out is now Mark May will jump back on their cock. Yay. I hate that fat fuck. Oh well at least AD had a heisman performance tonight. OU may not walk away with a national title but at least AD will probably have some hardware if he keeps it up. He want 2200 rushing yards and 500 receiving yards. If he gets that he's a shoe in.
Guest Princess Leena Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 Overrated Cal. Big time. What the hell was Cal doing on defense in the 2nd half. Awful, awful stuff.
Guest Princess Leena Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 And Tuitama, the most overrated player in college football (at least here, I guess), is blowing hard vs. BYU. Shocking.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 Maryland beat up some JV Squad..yeehaw. Maybe they can give WV a game in a couple of weeks..
cabbageboy Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 Rutgers beat UNC in Chapel Hill today, 21-16. I also saw that Pitt put a beating on Virginia 38-13. As far as the Big East goes, only Cuse lost to the ACC's Wake Forest 20-10. Now if U of L can put a beatdown on Miami in a couple weeks the Big East might start gaining some cred. I have to admit Pitt squashing Virginia disturbs me somewhat. Surely I can't be alone in thinking that Pitt (with Dave Wannstedt) trying to challenge for the BCS is one of the worst things that could happen in college football this year.
Guest Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 I was a little worried at the start of the SC game, but they turned it on in the second half. This team is going to be very, very interesting.
Guest Princess Leena Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 Arizona still stinks. Super lucky to come out with the win tonight. Running game was nonexistant. Passing wasn't much better. BYU just fucked up every 3rd down.
Urban Warfare Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 Well, suddenly I'm pretty afraid of the Gators trip to Knoxville in two weeks. The Gators did not have their best game by any stretch tonight. However, the freshmen were fantastic, but Percy Harvin is a guy who stuck out the most. He made something happen every time he touched the ball, and actually led the team in rushing. I'm hoping they bring their A game on the 16th otherwise it could be another 'Bama.
Guest Princess Leena Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 It's all over in Boulder: Montana State 19, Colorado 10. In addition to that: Portland State 17, New Mexico 6. The Big Sky is jubilant. Oh, that New Mexico Bowl is going to be a highly coveted game now.
nogoodnick Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 Damn ESPN showed almost no Oregon highlights. They completely destroyed Stanford. If you don't know who Jonathan Stewart is you will in the coming weeks. He was pretty much unstoppable all game. 22 attempts 168 yards 2 tds. With Cal looking like complete shit they can probably win 10 games or more. The defense looked pretty damn good and they are one of the deepest teams at receiver it looks like. Since were talking about non conference opponents here is what Oregon just lined up: Oklahoma @ Oregon '06 @ Michigan '07 @Purdue '08 Purdue @ Oregon '09 @ Tennessee '10 Tennesee @ Oregon '13 Colorado @ Oregon '14 Georgia @ Oregon '15 Oregon @ Georgia '16 Oregon @ Colorado '17 Oh yeah and hooray for Portland State.
therealworldschampion Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 Cannot wait for PSU/ND next week, going to be a great game.
alfdogg Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 So I have the replay of the OU/UAB game on in the background, and I noticed some woman in the crowd being loaded onto a stretcher. What happened?
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 Dude ran off the field and mashed into her. Accidental.
iggymcfly Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 I was out all day, but here's the cliff notes of my day's thoughts on college football. -That GT/ND game was depressing. The Jackets could totally match them talent wise, but every big break went in ND's favor. The helmet to helmet hit that kept the drive alive for the Irish when it would have been 4th down. The crazy QB sneak on 2nd down at the end of the first half. The catch that got overturned in the fourth quarter. Even that stupid 4th and 1 sneak at the end where GT's D-line parted like the Red Sea. I don't know if it's the influence of Charlie Weis or what, but it seemed like every pivotal play went in ND's favor. -Ohio State = really, really, good. I am completely sold on them now. They took a pretty good NIU team, and made them look like a D-II squad. Yeah, there are a couple of holes in the defense, but the offense is every bit the unstoppable juggernaut they were made out to be. I had my doubts that a Tressel team could really light up the scoreboard, but I sure don't after today. -USC's really good too. There's no way in hell they lose a regular season game. When you add in their schedule, I'm still more confident that they will reach the championship game than OSU. If the Buckeyes do make it, they'd be more likely to win, but I think USC's as close to a lock for Tempe as you can get.
MFer Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 Garrett Wolfe is the fuckin man-171 rush yds, 114 rec yards, 1 rec TD. I know OSU lost 9 defensive starters but that's still awfully impressive. Reminds me of Darren Sproles of a couple years back.
HarleyQuinn Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 To add to the greatness of I-AA and it's eventual superiority that'll surface next year... #15 Richmond beat up Duke 13-0 Kansas State also barely held off #9 Illinois State 24-23. The 2 point conversion by ISU failed with 3:02 left in the game.
Guest Princess Leena Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 But, Duke doesn't really count. I only hope the 1-AA teams get fairly ranked in NCAA games next year. Heh.
HarleyQuinn Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 But, Duke doesn't really count. I only hope the 1-AA teams get fairly ranked in NCAA games next year. Heh. It does in my heart Anyway, ammunition is ammunition, regardless if the school is practically I-AA itself.
cabbageboy Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 Okay maybe I'm not so worried about U of L's trip to Manhattan, KS after the Miami game. As far as USC goes, I'm not sure who will beat them but someone will do it this year. Last year they relied on Leinart and Bush to survive some insane games, and maybe now they wouldn't win one or two of those.
