TD LSU with 1:09 left

[mrslackalack]

Wow, looks like Cincys gonna hang on and beat Rutgers. I said So Fla and Cincy would be decent this year but did anyone think that they would be the only unbeatens left in the Big East Confrence while Louisville has 3 losses and 2 of them were embarrsing?

[Kris P Lettus]

Clock is running..

[Kris P Lettus]

Damnit..

Pass interference on LSU..

26 secs left..

[Kris P Lettus]

3rd and 10 20 secs left..

WOW

[Kris P Lettus]

Tebow ran for a first with 12 seconds left..

INTENSE

[mrslackalack]

what a game between Florida and LSU

[mrslackalack]

LSU just cant let Tebow get it in the red zone where hes dominant

[Kris P Lettus]

Intetional grounding on Tebow..

5 secs left..

WTF

[Kris P Lettus]

LSU wins

Hell of a game..

[mrslackalack]

The USC loss annoucement seemed to wake up LSU and their crowd. HUGE win for them. Dangerous game for them next week at UK.

[Kris P Lettus]

UK looked like shit Thursday..

All SEC games are tough but with their D and running game, LSU is gonna be hard to beat..

[MTH15]

I was praying for USC to lose!!!! Finally. Any1 got the rankings?

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Went to the BC game yesterday which was pretty sick. I didn't see any other games though unfortunately. I dunno what surprises me more, USC losing or ND actaully winning.

BC @ ND next week...This could be a huge revenge game for ND because it seems like time BC plays ND they defeat a top 5/undefeated team.

Thing that sucks about USC losing is it opens the door for Ohio State to make it to the National Championship, which I don't think anyone outside of Ohio wants to see.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

That was a good Saturday night for Ohio football. Cincy moves up to 15 in the AP poll and Ohio State puts a whoopin on a very overrated Purdue team and moves into the national title picture which by the way I am happy about.

Oh there was a game saturday?:shifty:

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Wow BC is #4, fucking crazy

Just bought 4 tickets for when The U comes to town the Saturday after Thanksgiving

[mrslackalack]

Id say though Stima BC is def getting overshadowed right now considering the Red Sox are in the ALCS and The Pats being 5-0 and dominant this season.

[mrslackalack]

If Missouri can beat Oklahoma saturday you def have to put them in the NC picture. They already have a road win against a very good Illnois team that has beaten Wisconsin and Penn State. They also blew Nebraska completly out of the water.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

This season is absolutely fucking nuts so far. What the hell kind of top 25 poll is that?

4. Boston College
5. South Florida
7. South Carolina
11. Missouri
14. Arizona State
15. Cincinnati
16. Hawaii
17. Kentucky
18. Illinois
20. Kansas

[mrslackalack]

And to think Florida State, Penn State, Nebraska, Miami, Tennesee, and Michigan 6 of college footballs traditionally top powers are not in the top 25.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

yeah except Florida State and Tennessee are in the top 25 this week...

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Id say though Stima BC is def getting overshadowed right now considering the Red Sox are in the ALCS and The Pats being 5-0 and dominant this season.
Red Sox could be in last place in the AL East and the Patriots could be 0-5 and people still wouldn't care about BC football. College sports aren't high on many people's list here in Boston

[Mercury Bullet]

Kentucky 43, LSU 37
Final - 3 OT

[D Mac]

Well Missou lost thier first game. :(

To a #6 tho, should stay in the top 20.

[mrslackalack]

Classic back and forth game between UK and LSU. Both teams fought their heart out. It looked for a bit like UK was out of it due to LSU having a 10 point lead due to UK having a AWFUL pass interference call on them on a 4th down play that resulted in a LSU TD (It was one of the worst calls ever in a fb game in my opinion, and I thought it would quiet the crowd and put UK out of their composure but it didnt)

[mrslackalack]

Yeah Diesel Mac I say Missou will def stay in the top 20 I say they will fall to around to 15-18

[mrslackalack]

Whoa Oregon St upset Cal!!!!! Looks like Ohio St, BC, and USF are the new top 3!!!!!!!!

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

wow BC #2?

[mrslackalack]

Possibly, although some analiysts believe USF will be #2 and BC #3 due to USF beating teams like WV and Auburn.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if BC wasn't the #2 team. They aren't the 2nd best team in the country, that's for sure, but that isn't really how the rankings work so who knows.

They got a huge match up coming up though, Thursday night at Virgina Tech

[owenbrown]

Kentucky 43, LSU 37
Final - 3 OT



:D :D :D :D :D

[MTH15]

Like 3 weeks straight the number 2 or 3 team gets upsetted. Hopefully that continues until V-Tech is in the BCS Championship.

[mrslackalack]

Looks like 2 1 loss teams might be in the NC game because Ohio St, BC, and USF while unbeaten still has the toughest part of their schedules left

[mrslackalack]

Yeah the first set of BCS Rankings come out this week as well and thats the poll that truely counts.

[mrslackalack]

New AP Top 25 Poll is out

AP Top 25

1. Ohio State
2. Boston College
3. South Florida
4. Oklahoma
5. West Virginia
6. Oregon
7. LSU
8. South Carolina

I think the suprises there are

1. Almost every1 predicted USF to jump BC but it didnt happen
2. USCs loss to Stanford was very bad last week they didnt even jump in the polls
3. Michigans finally back in the top 25 after their miserable 0-2 start
4. All the remaining unbeatens are in the top 25 now, even though teams like Hawaii, Ari St, and Kansas havent played the toughest part of their scheudles yet
5. That Wisconsin hasnt fallen out of the top 25 after losing to Ill and then getting hammered by Penn St.
6. That Penn St didnt crack it yet they destroyed Iowa and Wisconsin back-to-back weeks
7. The 7-8-9 part of the rankings. LSU can claim to be ahead of South Car because they beat them, South Car can claim to be ahead of UK because they beat them, but UK can claim to be ahead of LSU because they beat them,

[Mercury Bullet]

2008 National Champions, University of South Florida.



Get ready for it.

[Mercury Bullet]

I think the best one loss teams are Oklahoma and Oregon. And if they both win out, and the undefeated's drop a game, that will be the National Championship.

[mrslackalack]

I consider LSU a great one loss team still MB, but I agree on the OK and Oregon scenarios, they had both of their games where they lost won but blew it at the end.

[Mercury Bullet]

Yeh LSU is still great, but losing later in the season as opposed to an early loss will probably keep them behind.

[RP]

I think OU is the best team in the country.

[mrslackalack]

My Midseason Awards


Heisman- Prolly the most wide open ever at this point in the season, I gotta go with UK QB Andre Woodson right now over BC QB Matt Ryan

Best QB I pick Woodson again, but Ryan, Harell, Brohm, or Brennan among a couple others are in it as well

Best RB I gotta pick Darren McFadden of Arkansas even though hes been a minor dissapointment this season due to misused and injuries. Mike Hart, Steve Slaton, and Ray Rice have to be considered as well

Best WR Def DeSean Jackson IMO

Coach of the Year- I think this is as hard as the Heisman Race, I say a tie right now between Rich Brooks of UK and Jim Levatt of USF

Agree on you with the Heisman, Best QB and Coach picks, don't know much about the RBs this year, However, gotta be careful, cause UK WR Steve Johnson has been makin' things happen lately the way he is helping them get come from behind victories.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Will you both shut the fuck up with the Kentucky homer bullshit? "Oh I think Kentucky players should win all the awards." "Oh yes I agree. Kentucky is the best." Shut the fuck up.

If Jim Leavitt doesn't win coach of the year, which he should, then Jeff Jagodzinski from BC should win it. Woodson is not going to win any awards. He shouldn't even get invited to the Heisman ceremony. And what the fuck Steve Johnson? Are you fucking kidding me?

Rankings are stupid. There's no logic behind them. No. 11 Missouri loses by 10 to No. 6 Oklahoma - a match OU was favored by 10.5 - yet Missouri drops four places in the rankings? How did they get worse, they did exactly what they expected to. Basically, you just take the preseason rankings, move a team down five every time it loses and then go with it. They should undo the preseason polls, IMO. This year shows, it is just way too fucked up.

[Mercury Bullet]

The preseason polls really are terrible and worthless, I don't think they should do them. You have no idea how some of these teams are going to turn out and ranking them before they ever play is senseless.

[BCWWF]

I'd have nothing against ESPN or something doing them for entertainment, but USA Today, AP, Harris etc. shouldn't until week six.

[mrslackalack]

I agree because sometimes they are way off on them. I remember Bama being preseason ranked #3 in the country several years ago and they finished 3-9. I also remember the 05 Purdue team being a top 5 preseason team and one publication even had them in the National Title game against USC and they ended up going 5-7. Its the same for CBB as well.

[BCWWF]

Wisconsin this season. They didn't lose, so the arbitrary way the rankings work they moved up to No. 5, but everybody knew they weren't that good and was waiting for them to flop. Then they do and they drop 15 spots. If people know they aren't good, they shouldn't be obligated to vote for them high just because they were voted high preseason and haven't lost yet. Like when USC and Texas were real good two years ago, people wouldn't admit that Texas was better because USC hadn't lost. Why does USC have to lose?

[BCWWF]

Stima, back me up on this.

[mrslackalack]

I agree Hawaii is fun to watch IMO but they are def overated with their weak schedule. Most BCS teams would blow out La. Tech and San Jose State this season yet It took Hawaii close OT wins to defeat them.

[mrslackalack]

Looking at the current BCS top 10.

1. Ohio State- Dont have a major victory but some decent ones (Purdue, Washington) Have a winnable schedule left to go unbeaten
2. South Florida Have 2 big wins (WV, at Auburn) Still have some tests left against Rutgers, Cincy, and UL
3. Boston College- Have looked impressive so far but still has the meat of the ACC left.
4. LSU- If they go unbeaten and 2 of the top 3 fall the LSU is def in the title game. They have 3 giant wins (South Carolina, VT, Florida) Their rest of the schedule is SEC West Matchups all the tough ones are at home except Bama. SEC Title game if they make it will be a test as well.
5. Oklahoma- They have a easy road left IMO impressive wins over Texas and Miami help OK, the Colorado upset hurts them though if other teams finish out impressive like them.
6. South Carolina- Nice wins vs Georgia and Kentucky. They still have Florida and Tennesee to play. South Carolina right now has the best postion to represent the East in SEC title play with getting Ws there.
7. Kentucky- LSU win was HUGE for UK. They also have beaten UL and a Ark on the road. Still have 3 very tough games however Florida, Tennesee, and Georgia on the road.
8. Arizona State- Great job they have done this season, but I think they will fade out when they start facing the upper echolon of Pac-10 teams.
9. West Virginia- USF loss hurt, but WV can climb up the rankings with Ws against Rutgers, UL, and Cincy.
10. Oregon- Loss to Cal was heartbreaking but with the unpredictable Pac-10 who knows what will happen with Oregon.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Boise State 69
Nevada 67

nice

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

South Florida and BC will both lose before the end of the season.

LSU will then go on to win the SEC title and finish #2 in the BCS. Then they will face OSU in the title game, where they will win and win big.

Hopefully Ohio State loses at some point so somebody else will be in that game, cuz if not LSU's speed is going to destory Ohio State. Would be hilarious if Michigan beat them, can't see it happening, but hopefully it does.

[Nervous Ferret]

yeah seeing an OK/LSU title game here :-\

[RoXer]

Please tell me someone saw the UofA punter blasting it 83 yards.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

yeah like I'm gonna spend my Saturdays watching Arizona football

I'd rather watch the MAC

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

South Florida has beaten WVU and Auburn at Auburn, yet they aren't #1?

BC I'm fine with not being a top team since they haven't beaten anyone yet...If they beat Virgina Tech at Tech then I'd say they deserve some consideration. Right now though I don't think they deserve it

[mrslackalack]

Great point Stima. So Fla has beaten a very good WV team. The Auburn win lost some prestige at first after they lost at home to Miss St. but soared back up with their huge road wins at Florida and Arkansas. They also destroyed a UCF team that came very close to beating Texas. On the road against Rutgers is a big test since Rutgers beat them last yr but its winnable since Rutgers lost at home this season to Maryland and Cincy.

[Innovator]

USF 17 Rutgers 27 3rd quarter

[mrslackalack]

Its been a good game so far.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Wow BC gonna be moving into the #2 slot

[mrslackalack]

Never know BC might be #1 Stima. Ohio St plays Mich St this week and we know Mich St has upset OSU when they were #1 before 9 years ago.

[SammyG]

that was a good game.

[RP]

I hate to ruin this Boston Tea Party, but BC wont beat Virginia Tech in Virginia Tech.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

I don't get why everyone is making such a big deal about the game being in Virgina Tech. BC has won there before with teams that aren't as good as the one they have now. Personally I think BC could very easily lose this game, since they are due for a loss, but they could just as easily loss this game if it was here in Boston. The whole 'being in Virgina Tech' thing is dumb, since I think back to 2 other times when they've won there in like the last 5 or 6 years.

[VonErichLives]

The whole 'being in Virgina Tech' thing is dumb, since I think back to 2 other times when they've won there in like the last 5 or 6 years.

They're due for a loss sometime, I don't see this as an undefeated team, but I also don't get why they should lose to VT because it's in VT.

Now, VT is a good team, that's a reason to lose, my guess is they beat VT, and eventually get upset by Clemson in Clemson.

Here's a question.

OSU runs the table
BC runs the table
LSU finishes with just that 1 loss and a few blowout wins.

Who faces OSU? BC or LSU?

[mrslackalack]

Herbie has stated before a one loss SEC Champ will prolly get in over a unbeaten BC or even Ohio St. With LSUs case they have 3 major wins against South Carolina, Florida, and VT. Their only loss was in 3 OTs against a very good UK team. The rest of LSUs schedule is basically the SEC west which out of the top teams there they get Auburn and Ark at home and Bama on the road. I say the ONLY way BC gets in over LSU if both went unbeaten the rest of the way is if BC totally destroys the ACC competion in their games which I just dont see right now.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

If BC goes undefeated and gets left out of the BCS title game it'll be a crime. They're a BCS conference team. How can you go undefeated in a BCS conference and not get a chance to play for the national title? "Oh, but the ACC is weak and Boston College should be punished because the established order in the ACC are all having disappointing seasons." Oh, then maybe you should fix your shitty postseason system.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Yeah I agree with Supreme, I mean would LSU would be the better team? More than likely, however that isn't how it works in college football.

I don't think BC is gonna run the table though, they will lose somewhere along the line. At first I really thought it was gonna be against Va Tech but this whole "Nobody wins in Death Valley!!!" thing is starting to make me think it isn't gonna happen now. I wouldn't be surprised to see BC lose to a team like Maryland, probably the least likely team to beat them out of their remaining opponents. At least that is what always happens, hopefully with this new coaching staff it won't.

[mrslackalack]

Some type of postseason (plus 1, 8 team playoff etc.) could easily work for CFB if they wanted to do it.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

BC's schedule isn't even that weak. If they run the table that means they'd beat Virginia Tech most likely twice, Florida State, Clemson, Miami, and Maryland who all have winning records.

[MTH15]

Did VT and BC even play yet. I know what you guys are thinking. "What an idiot" but seriously did they

[RP]

If BC and OSU run the table. I dont think either should be in the National Title game. I understand.. they're undefeated, but OSU has played two ranked teams this year. Purdue and Washington and both of these teams dont deserved to be ranked anymore.

If these two teams were in a 16 man playoff format, i dont think either one makes it past the 2nd round. Florida, UCS, LSU, OU, Oregon, Auburn, South Carolina, Cal, and West Virginia are all better then those two teams imo. I'm not knocking either one of those teams, i'm just saying, the rankings and the undefeated schedule remaining are a farce. OSU hasnt played anyone this year. I think the best team they played was Washington.

OSU has played..

Youngstown State W 38-6 --
Akron W 20-2 --
at Washington W 33-14 --
Northwestern W 58-7 --
at Minnesota W 30-7 --
at (23) Purdue W 23-7 --
Kent State W 48-3 --
Michigan State W 24-17

BC's schedule...

Wake Forest W 38-28 --
North Carolina State W 37-17 --
at (15) Georgia Tech W 24-10 --
Army W 37-17 --
Massachusetts W 24-14 --
Bowling Green W 55-24 --
at Notre Dame W 27-14

Comon. You think these 2 teams deserve to play in the National Championship game? LSU are playing juggernuts every week. Florida has played Auburn, Kentucky, LSU the past 3 week and they're playing Georgia next week. They have 2 lossed but still. Theses teams are playing top tier teams every single week. Anyone with half a brain can realize that these teams are so much better then BC and OSU. Its not even close. If you watch the games, the talent is so obviously tilted in favor of the other teams then it is in favor of BC and OSU.

Listen, if you wanna call them two the national championship game participants at this point because of there undefeated schedule, then fine. But anyone who knows a lick about college football, knows that theres probably a good 10 teams better then those two teams right now.

The rankings are a joke. Deciding a national championship using the rankings are a complete joke. You need an example?? Here you go. Arizona St got a #1 vote in last weeks rankings. Yah...


Oh yah, Les Miles has really nice balls. I like his balls.

ANd i'm calling it right now. I think LSU will jump BC in the BCS today.

[Kris P Lettus]

LSU can not lose another game..

Last night was too close for comfort..

[Mercury Bullet]

While I think LSU will eventually jump BC in the BCS polls, I don't agree with it.

Undefeated is Undefeated, especially amongst the BCS conferences. Sure, some play tougher schedules than others. But theoretically, they are all opponents of 'BCS' caliber. So again, any undefeated team should go in over a one loss team.

Kansas is undefeated but they still haven't played anybody, and really don't all year. Nobody in non-conference and they miss Oklahoma, Texas and Texas Tech, the three best teams in the south.

[Kris P Lettus]

While I think LSU will eventually jump BC in the BCS polls, I don't agree with it.

Undefeated is Undefeated, especially amongst the BCS conferences. Sure, some play tougher schedules than others. But theoretically, they are all opponents of 'BCS' caliber. So again, any undefeated team should go in over a one loss team.

A couple of things:

-if that is the case, Bosie State should have made it last year.. Are you kidding me??

and

-Auburn went undefeated a few years ago, playing the SEC schedule, and didn't make it..

The BSC is bullshit..

[RP]

Arizona St is undefeated and if they remained undefeated, theres no way OSU or BC should get in over them. They have USC, CAl and Oregon left.

[Mercury Bullet]

If Arizona St. finishes undefeated, they should definately be ahead of BC and OSU. They should be #1 if they win out.

As far as Auburn goes, they were the 3rd undefeated team, so SOMEBODY had to be left out. Can't have a triangle match in college football. Thats where the BCS rankings would more logically come into play, when there is more than two undefeateds.

I don't know about Boise St., I have mixed feelings. Undefeated, yes. And I know I said "undefeated is undefeated" but I was thinking more along the lines of the power conferences. I don't know what to think about that one.

[mrslackalack]

I def dont see Kansas and Ari St going rest of the season unbeaten.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Is BC the 2nd best team? No way, but that isn't how the system works. If a team in an BCS conference goes undefeated they have to be in the BCS game (Well unless there is more than one obviously)

The system is garbage but thats how it is. If BC runs the table there is no way they will fall outta the top spot. I don't BC will do it, but you never know.

I think the Auburn thing a few years ago was because of the preseason ranking which made it harder to climb back. They also played the little children of the poor in their outta conference games. Still bullshit though cuz the SEC is so tough they shoulda been anyways. That was the year Oklahoma got destoried in the Big 12 championship but went anyway?

[BCWWF]

I think it was the year after. When Oklahoma lost to Kansas State in the Big 12 title game was the year that LSU and USC shared the national title.

[mrslackalack]

yup

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Oh was that the year Oklahoma, USC, Utah and Auburn all went undefeated?

[BCWWF]

No.

OU, LSU and USC all had one loss but OU and LSU were in the Sugar Bowl (Nat. Champ)

Then the next year
OU, USC, Auburn and Utah went undefeated, but since everybody had been bankning on the OU-USC Orange Bowl, Auburn never had a chance.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

My point is what else can BC possibly do? They joined a conference that's supposed to be one of the best in the nation and it isn't, but they can't help that. All they can do is go play the schedule they are forced to play.

You can speculate all you want that LSU is better than BC, but that's just opinions and not facts. What are facts are the 1 in LSU's loss column and the 0 in BC's. If LSU wanted to play in the national championship they shouldn't have lost.

[mrslackalack]

Plus LSU took a HUGE risk with the GW TD against Auburn.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

A lot of people are saying BC has no shot tomorrow and I don't really understand why...They smashed Va Tech last year and BC is a lot better now then they where last season, plus Tech might have to go with Glennon tomorrow night who was just recently benched in favor of a freshman

[Rain Man]

Haven't posted in probably 2 years, so excited to be back.. Don't have much to say for now but FUCK THE BUCKEYES!

[Savio]

I wouldnt be suprised to see Steve Kragthorpe fired as Louisville coach after only one season. They have been a dissapointment this season and the fans are already calling for his head. Embarrsing home loss for them against Utah tonight just 2 weeks after the awful home loss to lowly Syracuse.:cool:

[mrslackalack]

UL did get robbed on that fair catch TD against UCONN last week.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

This rain is really gonna affect BC's offense...gay

[mrslackalack]

BC has 10 minutes to turn it around

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Their offense isn't doing dick tonight...I think this one may be in the books unfortunately

Also that wasn't a TD by Eddie Royal

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

I can't fucking believe this....WOW what a game

[mrslackalack]

WOW THAT WAS EVEN BETTER THAN DALLAS/BUFFALO

[Nervous Ferret]

^lol

[mrslackalack]

HEARTBREAKING LOSS by VT. I thought BC took some huge risks there by using timeouts and going for the TD instead of moving the ball to send it to OT but WOW!

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Their kicker isn't exactly lights out, plus Matt Ryan had a Heisman to win tonight

[redoneja]

I go to school near VTech, so alot of people I know are fans of theirs. I can't stand them, at all. SO glad they blew it tonight. I told my roomate that it looked like the BC offense decided not to play until the last 3 minutes of the game. Bad call by the officials on that Tech touchdown, but it doesn't really matter in the end.

Bet that Tech receiver who lost the onside kick is feeling pretty bad right now though.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

I can't believe they scored, had it called back on a holding call then scored again


Doug Flutie was the fucking man during the broadcast as well

[mrslackalack]

He prolly earned it now if he continutes at this pace. If BC wins the national title they will always talk about this crazy comeback they had.

[redoneja]

I thought Matt Ryan was going to fuck it up after he started scrambling deep into the backfield on that 2nd and 3rd down. Great come-from-behind from BC.

[mrslackalack]

Puts more pressure on Ohio St to win because Penn State usually gives them a game on their home field.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

BC still has to play at Clemson and FSU/Miami are always tough for them no matter their record

Plus I got a bad feeling about Maryland so I really don't know. I had a bad feeling about tonight's game until everyone kept talking all garbage about BC can't go to Va Tech and win...why the fuck not? They have done it recently, plus Virgina Tech is something like 34-3 on Thursday nights...all 3 loses coming to BC

[Mercury Bullet]

Fuck I wish I wouldn't have had class tonight so I could've watched this game!

[VonErichLives]

I can't believe they scored, had it called back on a holding call then scored again


Doug Flutie was the fucking man during the broadcast as well

I was fliiping back and forth between this and the sox game, but I was pretty sure Flutie wasn't on the broadcast... even remembering when his nephew made a throw them saying "nephew of our usual broadcast partner doug".

5 bucks says he was at the world series game... After the ALCS win you could see him on the field with the players.

anyway, huge win... they haven't announced the time for the FSU game yet, I'd assume prime-time, this area will be nuts.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

No he wasn't doing the game, but they cut back to him a few times like for the starting line-ups on offense (Papelbon did the D) and for a few other things

[VonErichLives]

No he wasn't doing the game, but they cut back to him a few times like for the starting line-ups on offense (Papelbon did the D) and for a few other things

Either you were drunk or I was more tired then I thought because I could have sworn that was Papelbon who did the D and the O....

either way, BC gets the win, next weekend will be crazy.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Actually you're right, it was Papelbon cuz I remember he said something about a defensive back and also mention that kid on the O-line from Somerville. I think Flutie might have actually just been talking about the players on offense, they cut to him at least two times that I saw. He was basically just busting the balls of the announcers saying "I don't care what you say I'm gonna say WE tonight, WE are gonna play good D" etc

I honestly think they might have had Flutie re-announce the D or something, but I'm not totally sure

Still can't believe BC won though

[Mercury Bullet]

Fresno State ends their struggles against Boise State tonight.

ESPN 2. 9/ET, 6/PT.

Watch it.

:mad:

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Do people actually believe Anthony Morelli is going to lead Penn State to victory against the best defense in the nation that has given up a whole 4 touchdowns the entire season? Come on.

[Mercury Bullet]

Boise St. 34 - Fresno St. 21

Well, Fresno State proved they are every bit as bad as they were last year, only they've managed to pull off an inflated record.

[RP]

Unbelievable drive by Sanchez and USC. Like 5 passes 75 yards. 40 seconds or so. Was rediculous and now its a 1 touchdown game.

I got USC +3 on my card. I'm hoping they score a TD to get within six. Fire Pete Carroll, hire a recently ( 1 second ago ) fired Les Miles and go for 2 points and the win.

[RoXer]

W. Tuitama, QB
38-51, 514 yds
5 TDs, 1 INT

And Arizona barely wins, 48-41

[mrslackalack]

I have to say Dixon and Ryan are the Heisman favs right now, Woodson and Tebow took big steps back today in Ls.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Arizona State with a big win just now, gotta assume they will #3 in the rankings this week

Got a huge game against Oregon next week though

[Mercury Bullet]

Did anyone see that play from Div. III Trinity College (or something like that) from Texas? They lateral the ball about 16 times on the final play, score, and win the game. Trying to find a video of it...

Actually scratch that, totally forgot about LSU somehow lol

[Mercury Bullet]

My Top 5 after tonight:

1. Ohio St.
2. Boston College
3. LSU
4. Arizona St.
5. Oregon

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Yeah but Ohio State hasn't been tested yet. They're not blowing out good teams, they're just blowing out teams that everyone thought was good and thought they'd beat OSU but they showed that they were just overrated.

[Mercury Bullet]

I'm not totally sold on them either, but I think OSU and BC have played about the same level of competition thus far, and so I give the nod to OSU. I think they've played a little better than BC, though Va Tech is better than any team OSU has played.

Arizona State is closing in rapidly and I had a tough time placing them behind LSU, LSU just looks like a stronger team. A win over Cal is big, but they still have USC and Oregon coming up. If ASU runs the table they should be #1. They will have played the toughest opponents hands down.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

No see I was being sarcastic because Ohio State blows out teams and makes them look bad. Everyone's been drinking Big Ten haterade this year which is fair but nobody doubted USC was #1 when the Pac 10 was terrible so I don't see the difference when OSU has gone 31-3 over the last 3 years and by a wide margin has the best defense in the nation.

[Mercury Bullet]

VT is still better than anybody Ohio State has played. All in all there schedules are pretty even though.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

No see I was being sarcastic because Ohio State blows out teams and makes them look bad. Everyone's been drinking Big Ten haterade this year which is fair but nobody doubted USC was #1 when the Pac 10 was terrible so I don't see the difference when OSU has gone 31-3 over the last 3 years and by a wide margin has the best defense in the nation.
USC never got blown out in a BCS Championship game though

[Supreme Olajuwon]

yeah they had a bad game (after their best player got hurt while scoring on the first play of the game) but everyone seems to forget that they beat the #2 team in the nation twice last year

the fact that a 1 loss team can get into the BCS title game should be proof enough that you can't judge a team by one game

The Patriots have been beating up on shitty opponents all year but nobody questions if they're the best team in the NFL so how's this any different?

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Oh no I agree they should be #1, I'm just saying that is what people are thinking about when they are saying they don't deserve it.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

well people are retarded

Nah it's the system and we are forced to talk about shit like this. You brought up how the Pats haven't beaten anyone good (I guess the Cowboys don't count?) but nobody needs to talk about that since there is a playoff. With college football, you are going purely off the rankings which is what is truly retarded.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

no the Cowboys are good but the Pats made them look bad just like when Ohio State plays a team that was good before the game started, they make them look bad too but the difference is people still think the Cowboys are good despite getting destroyed but Purdue and Penn State were just overrated.

[BCWWF]

Other than being undefeated Kansas has done very little to warrant being a top 10 team. They have played no ranked teams all season.

[mrslackalack]

I agree Kansas is overated. But they did beat Kansas St. at Kansas St when they were ranked. It was the week after Kansas St. destroyed Texas on the road.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

What the hell is up with Virgina Tech players having to wear Georgia Tech jerseys? ROFL Sean Glennon looks so hilarious right now

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Just heard the story, somebody yanked the jerseys outta the visiting locker room last night so they had to get Georgia Tech away jerseys and like color them in and shit. Looks so hilarious

[McLegend]

You know you're a bad team when you lose to Navy.

[BCWWF]

Missouri is kicking the shit out of Colorado at Colorado. 41-10 in the third quarter. I don't know how Kansas is the better team. Missouri has only lost one game, AT the No. 5 team in the nation in Oklahoma. Kansas has three road wins, which is solid, but they don't play Texas or Oklahoma. Missouri beat Colorado much more soundly than Kansas did, and even though Kansas put up hella points against Nebraska, the score differential was within two points of Missouri's win. Only difference is that Missouri held Nebraska to 6 while Kansas let them score 30+ with a backup quarterback.

[mrslackalack]

Brent Musburger gave up on BC after FSU scored to go up by 10 with 7-8 mins left. He said LSU is going to move up to #2 in the polls and they are celebrating in Baton Rouge I guess he never seen BC come back on VT down by 10 with 2 Mins left lol.

[mrslackalack]

Kansas will end up losing to Missouri, the Big 12 title game if they make it, and their bowl game if they make a tough one.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Fucking Geno Hayes

[BCWWF]

No, Kansas is a legitimately solid team, just not as good as they are getting credit for. They have a real good offense, hard for anybody in the nation to stop. Just not as solid as the No. 5 ranking they will probably end up with today.

[mrslackalack]

I wonder if Kansas runs the table and goes unbeaten if they will make the National Title game or a 1 loss LSU/Oregon/WV would get in over them?

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

If Kansas runs the table you gotta think they will be in...they are in a BCS conference...

I'm hoping its gonna LSU vs Oregon in the National Championship...Hopefully its anything other than Ohio State vs Oklahoma though

[D Mac]

Missou will beat Kansas.

[BCWWF]

If Kansas somehow gets by Oklahoma State and Missouri without a loss, there is no chance they get past Oklahoma in the Big 12 Championship game.

Never thought Missou would ever be this good.

[Boomer]

Got woken up by obnoxious music this morning, so of course its game day.

Biggest game of the year at home for Georgia. I'm excited about going.

[Mercury Bullet]

BCS Chaos! Here we go...

So, what if Kansas runs the table and wins the Big 12 title, AND both Oregon and LSU win out and win their respective conferences?

[mrslackalack]

I heard MB if that happens then Kansas would bypass Oregon and face LSU in the national title game because Kansas ratings would go up HUGE with wins against Ok St, Missouri, and Oklahoma in the Big 12 title game.

[RP]

Hey, you know whos foreal? C.J. Spiller is for real.

[Mercury Bullet]

The thing I worry about for Oregon, is the Pac 10 doesn't have a conference championship game at the end as kind of a final 'statement' game. A one loss team from the SEC (like LSU) or if Kansas flops a one loss team from the Big 12 (Missouri, Oklahoma) can go out with a big win over another marquee team in their conf. championship.

So If Kansas winds up dropping a game and we got a bunch of 1 loss teams left...I think Oregon is going to wind up left out. And they shouldn't because I think they are better than Missouri and Oklahoma, and it's a tough call between them and LSU.

[mrslackalack]

There was a rumor not long ago that Spiller was wanting to transfer to Florida until that one guy off USC did.

[BCWWF]

Missouri/Kansas, besides the rivalry and everything, could be a sick game. Both teams have such exciting offenses. Personally, and trying to be unbiased here, I think Mizzou will win relatively easily.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Damn BC blew it again, fucking ridiculous. Ah well, at least my friend played a lot lol

Just got my tickets for the BC/Miami game, hopefully they at least win that one. Haven't beat The U since the Flutie hail mary pass

[BCWWF]

Why aren't you out supporting Endicott?

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

I don't give a fuck about Endicott Athletics

[owenbrown]

This is fucking stupid. There are 2 undefeateds in the B(ullshit)CS Top 25 (Kansas and Hawaii) yet Kansas(10-0) is ranked # 3 and Hawaii(9-0) is ranked 16th?! Meanwhile LSU(9-1) and Oregon(8-1) are #1-2 RESPECTIVELY?! How the fuck is that even possible?! Why isn't Kansas #1 and Hawaii, if not #2, closer than #16?! I DARE any sportswriter defend this stupid system now!!!

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Because Hawaii is a product of their schedule, if they both continue to win out though Kansas will be #1 and Hawaii will be within the top 12 thus getting an at-large bowl bid.

I don't support the BCS system but what I just posted is the truth.

[owenbrown]

Yeah I know the WAC is not a power conference in Division I-A, but maybe their AD should schedule more bigger schools in their non-conference schedule. Then they could probably ranked higher.

[RP]

Have you seen Hawaii's schedule?

[owenbrown]

Have you seen Hawaii's schedule?

Yeah, I have. They play their entire conference plus a couple of non-conference games against apparently some Division I-AA teams. I am just saying if their Athletic Director would in the future schedule some non-conference games against bigger schools in some power conferences(i.e. SEC, Big 12, Pac-10, etc.) they could possibly have a better chance in the BCS say they win against an LSU or Ohio State or USC.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Hawaii won't schedule those teams because they will lose and miss out on a potential BCS bowl plus most teams do a home and home series and no big time college program wants to take 100+ college students to Hawaii in the middle of the season

[mrslackalack]

Hawaii did play USC 2 years ago I believe and they got destroyed.

[Mercury Bullet]

Yeh and Hawaii wasn't that good two years ago.

[Mercury Bullet]

I think Hawaii has thee tests that will prove them BCS worthy to close the season. They've already gotten past the first by surviving a second half scare from Fresno State (and Colt Brennan is apparently going to be okay after nearly being decapitated late in the game). Now, Washington is a decent Pac 10 team and they will probably be worth more BCS points than their actual toughest test...Boise State. Boise State is firing on all cylinders right now and is going to be tough to stop. If Hawaii wins out, beating those two remaining teams (plus the victory over Fresno) I think they are guaranteed a BCS game.

[Mercury Bullet]

ESPN's article on the hit Brennan took is ridiculous and factually inaccurate...they call it a "helmet-to-helmet", implying it was an illegal hit. Which it was not. And the guy who delivered the hit was not penalized nor punished, as he shouldn't be. It was just a viscous legal tackle that is part of the danger of playing football.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Even with wins over Washington and Boise State I can't see Hawaii jumping into the BCS title scene. They will be in a BCS bowl though

[Mercury Bullet]

Even with wins over Washington and Boise State I can't see Hawaii jumping into the BCS title scene. They will be in a BCS bowl though

Yeh, thats what I meant. They will get into a BCS bowl game. The only way I could see them getting into the title game is if LSU, Oregon, Missouri, Oklahoma, and West Virginia all drop ANOTHER game, and Kansas loses one.

And that is a ridiculous scenario...(but alot of ridiculous stuff has happened thus far this year)

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Has anyone else paid attention to this Michael Crabtree kid at Texas Tech? He's a freshman wideout who has 113 catches for 1707 yards and 20 TDs already this year. I mean I know Texas Tech throws all the time but that is still insane for a freshman.

[mrslackalack]

I seen Crabtree on a big list of Heisman canidates not long ago

Fucking hell. I hope OU beats Kansas and gets the #2. I like Kansas, but have no intrest in watching them get destroyed by LSU. Oregon vs LSU would have been a great game. The only other game i think would be great is LSU vs OU.

[Mercury Bullet]

Wow. Totally stunned at Oregon's demise.

Kansas is movin' on up now...time to find out what they are really made of.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

k need these things to happen for Ohio State to get back into the national title game (with chance of happening)

West Virginia to lose at #22 Cincinnati tomorrow (50%)
Missouri to lose at Kansas on the 24th (65%)
Kansas to lose vs. Oklahoma in Big 12 title game (85%)
LSU to lose vs. Arkansas or Georgia in SEC title game (40%)
Ohio State beats Michigan (50% :/)

all to set up a BCS showdown between Ohio State and Oklahoma aka stima's worst nightmare

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol

Michigan will save me

[BCWWF]

Lol, Missouri is not going to play Kansas. Missouri is by far the best team Kansas will have faced all season, far more talented and equally as hot.

[Kris P Lettus]

LSU to lose vs. Arkansas or Georgia in SEC title game (40%)

It's Tenn, GA, and Florida are all up for the East.. Arkansas is in the west with LSU..

How do you make Michigan cookies??

Put them in a bowl and beat them for 3 hours..

LOL

[mrslackalack]

I think Tenn and UGA dont really want to make the SEC Title game because if both win out the reason of the season then the one that wouldnt make the SEC Title game would likely get a at-large BCS Bowl Berth like Texas would if they won out.

[mrslackalack]

Kansas will truely show if they are real vs Missou AND Ok if they make the Big 12 Title Game. They have been impressive but had a weak non-conf schedule, a down Big 12 North and no Ok or Texas on the reg season schedule.

OSU football to install artificial turf

Real grass didn't cut it for the Buckeyes this year, so the natural will give way to the artificial for 2007.


By Doug Harris (dharris@daytondailynews.com)
Staff Writer

Thursday, November 30, 2006

COLUMBUS — After fighting all season to give its football team a suitable playing surface, Ohio State has decided to go with a low-maintenance variety next year.
The school will install artificial turf at Ohio Stadium after the 2007 spring game, ending a 17-year stretch with natural grass.
"As we've said all along, we want to have the best field possible, and we think this gives us that opportunity," said Steve Snapp, OSU's associate athletic director for communications. "We practice on artificial surfaces, and we've had some good luck with it. And over the years, the surface itself has been improved. We feel good about it."
OSU resodded the field for the first time in four years in late September at a cost of $75,000, but foul weather kept the new turf from taking root. It was resurfaced again about one month later for $60,000, but players were still slipping during the season finale against Michigan.
Don Patko, OSU's assistant athletic director for facilities management, said his crew battled unseasonably cold weather this year and a record rainfall in October. And while he would have liked for the Buckeyes to remain one of six Big Ten schools with natural-grass stadiums, he was ready to make the change.
"I think the reasoning is, we want more use out of the field," he said. "With grass, we're only getting 15 or 20 days of use with a multi-million-dollar stadium. We get calls from coach (Jim Tressel) wanting to come over. ... We want to provide a consistent surface for them during the season to use whenever they want."
Patko said the school is still shopping for a synthetic turf, but OSU installed the popular FieldTurf on two practice fields in recent years. And he estimated the cost of outfitting the Horseshoe at $400,000 to $600,000.
The school also will have to pay for damage done after the Buckeyes' 42-39 win over Michigan on Nov. 18. Fans stormed the field and ripped out much of the sod for souvenirs, but Patko said his crew has already begun patching the holes.
"It'll be ready to go in the spring," he said.






Yeah, you know why Ohio State are really changing to artificial turf??




To keep their cheerleaders from grazing on it..



LOL

[McLegend]

Duke/ND

Worst game ever :cool:

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Why did you post a story from 2006 and post a lame joke about it, did something happen recently with the cheerleaders or something?

[MTH15]

Fuck the top teams are always losing. Why couldnt Oregon just win? And I will never forget when VTech lost to BC.

[Kris P Lettus]

Why did you post a story from 2006 and post a lame joke about it, did something happen recently with the cheerleaders or something?

Just shitty jokes man..

Settle down..

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

I wasn't angry or anything, I just was curious if there was a reason you posted a year old article...thought something might have happened w/ the cheerleaders or something

BC down by 7, I don't know what happened to their offense. Guess playing real teams will do that to you lol

[mrslackalack]

Cal has had a worse collapse than BC. They have lost I believe 5 of their last 6 and this is a Cal team that destroyed the SEC East leader Tenn and won at Oregon!

[mrslackalack]

Wow TT is really taking it to Oklahoma.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

BC baby!!!!! Goin to Jacksonville

Harvard won the Ivy League title too.........Boston dominates once again

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Played against the Harvard QB in high school, dude was nasty

[MTH15]

Did you shove his face into the ground? TY to VTech for winning

[Supreme Olajuwon]

It's Tenn, GA, and Florida are all up for the East.. Arkansas is in the west with LSU..

How do you make Michigan cookies??

Put them in a bowl and beat them for 3 hours..

LOL
I MEANT LOSE THEIR GAME AGAINST ARKANSAS COMMA OR LOSE THEIR SEPARATE GAME IN THE SEC CHAMPIONSHIP AGAINST THE WINNER OF THE SEC EAST WHOM I PREDICT WILL BE GEORGIA

ESPN is projecting West Virginia vs LSU in the National Title game. How you ask? I dont even think ESPN knows how tbh. If Kansas wins out they would have beaten Misszo and OU. If Mizz wins out they would have beaten Kansas and OU.

But ESPN>me so GG

[Mercury Bullet]

I really would think the title game would be the winner of Mizzou/Kansas...as much emphasis as they place of strength of schedule now, I don't see how WVU would get in ahead of those two.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Mizzou/Kansas could very easily lose to Oklahoma in the Big 12 Championship game though

[BCWWF]

I think Missouri will handily beat kansas this weekend but lose out to Oklahoma in the Big 12 championship, giving way to WV vs. LSU in the final.

[MTH15]

VT vs UVA for the Commenwealth trophy. Lets go!!

[Supreme Olajuwon]

UConn has a shot to beat West Virginia even though I don't think they will. Man remember how crazy everyone thought it was last year that Wake Forest and Boise State were BCS teams? Imagine this year we might have BCS bowls featuring Kansas, Missouri, UConn, and Hawaii.

[DAMN iNATOR]

How do you make Michigan cookies??

Put them in a bowl and beat them for 3 hours..

Close...usually you put them in a BIG bowl and beat them for 3 hours, but they really aren't going to that big of a bowl this year. Outback probably...

[DAMN iNATOR]

Too bad Mich. St. blew so many opportunities this year, or we wouldn't be in the unfortunate situation of having to deal with yet another shitty bowl. Projected v. Ok. St. in the Insight Bowl. But, hey, it'd be better than nothing...

[Kris P Lettus]

I have $50 on Ole Miss to beat Miss State in the Egg Bowl.. Really, I put $50 against Miss State, that they wouldn't have a "winning season", which mean they have to lose this game for me to win..

[loopydate]

This Arkansas/LSU game is pretty sick, btw. Headed to a third overtime. 'Course, we all remember the last time LSU played a triple-OT game.

[RP]

Enjoy our Kansas vs West Virginia National Championship

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Wow LSU lost, complete mayhem in the BCS standings

[RP]

Its amazing in that, now theres scenarios that could play out with Georgia or Virginia Tech playing in the National title game depending on whether WV loses, Arizona St. loses. Kansas or Mizzu wins tonight and loses to OU.

Pretty unreal. Ohio St. might back there way into the title game.

[loopydate]

This might be the most amazing year I can ever remember in college football. There are still at least a half-dozen teams that could win the National Championship.

Kansas, Missouri, OSU, West Virginia, Georgia, Va Tech. Hell, HAWAII is still undefeated. If everybody loses, HAfreakin'WAII could back in. Highly unlikely, but so was two #1 teams losing in November AT HOME.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Pretty unreal. Ohio St. might back there way into the title game.I really that will be the case, unfortunately.

Something about Ohio State this year, I've never really been a fan of the team but I did enjoy watching guys like AJ Hawk, Ted Ginn and Troy Smith play, however this year I can't even stand to see them on TV. Really hope they don't make it.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Also, how the hell are you not a contender with Darren McFadden and Felix Jones?

I guess when you got a head coached named Houston Nutt you gotta expect it

[Nervous Ferret]

And a QB named Dick

[Kris P Lettus]

LSU vs Tenn for the SEC title..

Two crazy SEC games in two days.. Both went to 4 OT's..

I wish LSU had won cause who wants to see Kansas/Hawaii in the BCS title game??

[Skippord]

I would actually like to see Hawaii/Kansas in the BCS title game.

[McLegend]

As would I.

[Kris P Lettus]

You guys are gay though..

[loopydate]

I like the thought of Kansas/Hawaii for the Championship. It'd be refreshing to see a championship game that doesn't include USC, OSU, Texas, or a team from Florida. It seems like it's always the same teams every year, so to have such a random pairing would be amazing.

[loopydate]

Of course, Kansas needs to come back and beat the Tigers first.

[mrslackalack]

Id perfer to see a KansasMissouri vs WV NC game (no disrespect to Ohio St.)

[Mercury Bullet]

Well, holy shit. What is the national title game going to be now?

Kentucky vs Tennessee was the game of the year. Unbelievable game.

Tenn/UK was exciting but I have to give the game of the year to UK/LSU. LSU/UK was a back and forth triple OT classic. UT dominated UK for most of the game until UKs comeback.

I'm so glad Tennessee won that game after that UK player pulled that dirty facemask bullshit after the blocked field goal. What a bitch play.

I got a feeling Oklahoma is gonna beat Mizzou and Ohio State will be playing in the National Title game. Could be an interesting match up with WVU's speed on offense and Ohio State's D. Looking forward to Ohio State's offense? Not so much...

[Supreme Olajuwon]

How great would a national title game be between West Virginia and Ohio State? Gotta love the geographic discrepancies in that scenario.

I think Hawaii vs. WVU would be the most entertaining game. But it isn't going to happen.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Mizzou/WV would be pretty entertaining too. They both run the spread.

Hawaii sucks balls and would lose to the 6th ranked team in the top 5 conferences every time.

Way to be a fairweather fan..

Not only have you given up on the Chiefs, but you are jumping on another teams bandwagon..
