Yeah, I had it on espn2 for the first quarter and then they switched it to all those wierd pointless angles. I figured it out though.

Goodnight

I know some people that know some people that know some people, and if I play my cards right I might go to the Texas/Ohio State game.

I'm also 99% sure that I'm going to the Texas/Oklahoma game as well.

NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP PREDICTION HERE!!!!

Miami despite the loss to FSU will be playing in the national title game. Against Purdue

Miami's defense is sick.

A friend of mine from Cincinnati went home for the game last year with the expectation of buying a scalped ticket for around $300, but at the game some coordinators wife or something offered him her extra ticket for free because she isn't allowed to scalp it or something, so he ended up getting sweet tickets for nothing.

Just some motivation for ya.

Mizzou got three votes, fyi

Wow, great seats. Just a few seats above the 30 yard line.


And if I had $2300 I would be going.

ASL DrA?

No worries DrA, you can go hang out at Texas' basketball arena that OSU rented out for the day

Gonna be a fucking unreal game, hopefully Mr. Ginn ditches the Punters facemask though. Like seriously the most retarded thing I've ever seen.

Nah, #4 sounds about right.

You do realize that the coaches and the journalists in the polls do not give a shit if ESPN has good ratings, right?

Where is anyone saying that? I don't think anyone is, but if we could just ignore the ND hype machine for a minute, they don't deserve to be #2 after their showing last weekend.

Not like early season rankings really matter too much anyway, aslong as you start out in the top 5 you are all set. Win out and you are the National Championship game.

#4 is good, and ND is my team.

Notre Dame is a good team and all but USC dropped 50 on a decent Arkansas team on the road. As for Texas, if they beat OSU then they deserve the ranking and if lose then they'll drop so what's the big deal?

We kicked the shit out of Ole Miss today. Assuming that Nebraska is as overrated as I believe them to be, we are going to have a legitimate chance at the Big 12 North.

Washington was lookiong good for a half there against Oklahoma.

I'm oging to go watch Arizona get trounced by LSU now. I know theyre not going to win, I just don't want them to getembarresed.

Yeah I thought Washington might have a chance, but what it came down to was their QB just isn't that good. Things started breaking down after that was established.

By the way, this Penn State and Notre Dame game has been mad boring so far. The first two quarters basically had no offense at all, and then Notre Dame took over. I was hoping for more.

CSU win :)

NEVERMIND

Yeah Texas, you're sure going to stop Ted Ginn with single coverage.

Georgia is gunna fuck around and not put South Carolina away here. Theirs plenty of time.

Failed QB Sneak on 4 and 1 1/2 for So Carolina. Good call Ball coach. I guess So. Carolina dont have any rb's on the team.

I think Texas has a case of the 'Laurinattis' tonight.

This has been a huge letdown; it has the feel of a Cleveland Browns/Baltimore Ravens game.

Ohio State was the better team, and Texas not having those cornerbacks really killed them. Not sure how effective they could have been, but the Ohio State recievers were amazing.

Am I the only one who doesn't like Texas Stadium? It fits a lot of people, but it just has such a weird look. One side has a giant upper deck, the other is small, the stands on the end are small, I don't know. It doesn't have the same feel as a regular Big 12 stadium, it just looks like the Philadelphia Eagles field done wrong. I dunno, they should just put that giant upper deck on both sides, it's not like they would struggle to find fans.

Wow, CU might have the worst offense in the country

Texas not having a quarterback killed them. No other point should overlap that.

Which is good because I hate CU

Rally sons of Notre Dame:
Sing her glory and sound her fame,
Raise her Gold and Blue
And cheer with voices true:
Rah, rah, for Notre Dame
We will fight in ev-ry game,
Strong of heart and true to her name
We will ne'er forget her
And will cheer her ever
Loyal to Notre Dame
Cheer, cheer for old Notre Dame,
Wake up the echoes cheering her name,
Send a volley cheer on high,
Shake down the thunder from the sky.
What though the odds be great or small
Old Notre Dame will win over all,
While her loyal sons are marching
Onward to victory.


NOTRE DAME!

It was just as boring, because Penn State didn't show up. I'll give credit to Notre Dame, because they really killed Penn State, but this also isn't the same Penn State team as last year. Not nearly as good. As for Notre Dame, I have changed my opinion of them slightly, and I could see them finishing in the national title game. Brady Quinn did look a bit rough at times last night, but so did Matt Lienart last year. I think they will win around 10-11 games.

Well what else were they going to do, single cover Gonzalez?

You're saying you would rather single cover Ted Ginn than single cover Anthony Gonzalez?

I'm not saying either one would work necessarily, but single coverage on Gonzalez would definintely be the lesser of two evils.

Ohio State was the better team. Don't underestimate how good Vince Young was.

Don't be so sure about that. Gonzalez has much better hands and is more disciplined as a route runner than Ginn. Apparently Gonzalez also beat Ginn in a 40 yd race earlier this year. Ginn is explosive when he gets the ball, but for what it's worth Anthony "White Lightning" Gonzalez is the better receiver right now.

Boston College baby. Florida State was strugglin with Troy this past weekend, hmm would be pretty bomb if BC made it to the ACC title game. I doubt it'll happen though.

#3 vs. #6 this weekend. GAME OF THE WEEKKKKKK. Also #7 vs. #13. #4 vs. #19.

I love games like this. Any other hot games going on? I think there are a few more?

#2 vs. #11
#12 vs. #17

I am going to BYU vs BC this Saturday, I am sure that is on everyone's radar for game of the week....:shifty:

Thank you Roxer. :love:

ROFL Ohio State Linebacker James Laurinaitis's dad is Road Warrior Animal

Haha I read about that

Ohio State is gonna be playing in the National Championship this year, unless the defense somehow fucks it up. I really don't see how any team they are going to face is going to stop that offense.

If Drew Tate somehow actually becomes a decent QB then Iowa could beat OSU in a shootout

Anybody see WVU vs. Maryland tonight?

First quarter....Maryland was still driving up to Morgantown.

Steve Slaton had 147 yards rushing with 1 minute left in the 1st quater

WVU isn't that good though, they are only ranked so high because they are the only good team in their conference...............

FUUUUUUUCK you kansas. HA

Oregon over the Sooners

Michigan USC TCU Oregon Florida Miami Auburn I bet those turn out to be pretty off, but that's who I want to win. Although Florida and Tennessee and Auburn and LSU are indifferent to me, because I like them all.

Stima is at a pretty good game.

Syracuse 31 - Illinois 21 (Final)

lol Notre Dame

Louisville?

Notre Dame down 34-14. I'm taking a nap now. I'm pretty sure Notre Dame will come back. But if not. Ha.

Oklahoma is getting robbed

Wow WTF

I was quoting BCWWF

OK, I will try to make this simple. How would West Virginia finish if it's schedule was this: Louisiana-Lafayette Arizona @ Auburn Tulane Mississippi State @ Florida Kentucky Fresno State @ Tennessee Alabama Mississippi @ Arkansas My prediction: 9-3 Now what about if West Virginia faced this schedule: Marshall Eastern Washington Maryland at East Carolina at Mississippi State Syracuse at Connecticut at Louisville Cincinnati at Pittsburgh South Florida Rutgers My prediction: 12-0 ----------------- So, if West Virginia goes 12-0, they will inevitably end up in the BCS top-5, probably quite easily. BUT, if the exact same team played a different schedule and went 9-3, it wouldn't be in a BCS bowl. So basically what I am saying is that the rankings are not always accurate. If even an average team, say for example TCU went 12-0 in the Mountain West, they would most likely get a BCS bid. BUT, if that same TCU team went 9-3 in the SEC, it would not get a BCS bid because it was not undefeated. West Virginia is a great team, but not No. 5 in the nation, I am sorry Stima, but it's true. The one ranked team on the schedule lost it's Heisman candidate running back, the rest is cupcakes.

I am going to ask this question again:

Is it normal for a kicker to kick 75 yd FGs during warm-ups? Because Nick Folk BLASTED one from the other 35. Last week, it was the other 40.

Dudes going to be hitting them from the goal line eventually.

Have you even watched WVU play? How do you know they wouldn't have a better record than 9-3 in the SEC?

Louisiana-Lafayette W
Arizona W
@ Auburn Toss up, probably a L
Tulane W
Mississippi State W
@ Florida Toss up, I'd say a W but could either way
Kentucky W
Fresno State W
@ Tennessee W
Alabama W
Mississippi W
@ Arkansas W

I guess the Tennesse game could be a toss up as well, I'd see them winning that. Or atleast all 3 of those games being very close with the ability to go either way, just because WVU is in a weaker conference doesn't mean they are a weaker team. Ask Georgia (2005 SEC Champions)

(2) NOTRE DAME 5.5 • (11) Michigan Correct Mich 47, ND 21

I understand that the SEC is tougher and it is harder to play better teams week after week, but this is the way college football has worked forever. Miami was never punished for dominating a pretty average Big East (before the changes) same goes for FSU dominating the ACC for all those years (before the changes) so I don't see what is any different with WVU now.

I wouldn't say they are being punished. I also wouldn't say that they are getting the short end of the stick. If they can completely dominate their schedule and not lose a game, maybe they will warrant a national championship spot. That is what happened in the past, I mean look at USC, the Pac-10 isn't all that great but they kicked the shit out of most opponents, so it was clear why they were getting the votes.

My reasoning for bringing up the LSU schedule is because I just don't think that WVU would win that many games. If they can't win games in a different conference, obviously they aren't national championship caliber. Of course that is completely my opinion, and it is still early in the season. My opinion is just that if every team was on the same playing field, meaning the rankings were not based on if LSU losing to Auburn type games, WVU wouldn't be as high as they are.

To clarify that, I mean LSU loses to Auburn, but does that mean that LSU is worse than they were last week? Texas could still be the No. 2 team in the nation, but they lost to Ohio State and are now ninth or something. That's just what I mean when I say the rankings are based too much on wins than objectivity.

None that stuff has to do with WVU being a top 5 team in the nation, which I think they are. Maybe a top 10 I guess, since the majority of them could be interchangable after the top 2 or 3.

Its pretty much gonna come down to Ohio State, Auburn or USC playing in the
National Championship anyway. I thought ND had a shot (I feel like a joke for sipping on that hype machine coolaid now) but obviously that is no longer the case. Although if they do end up running the table from here on out, Norte Dame is the only team that could get enough love to be a 1 loss team (with that loss being a blow out) to get a National Title shot. They won't though, USC is going to win by atleast 3 touchdowns.

I'm pretty confident that Louisville can beat WVU this year. The game is at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium so who knows.

lol Papa John's Cardinal Stadium

Well I think Louisville is a top 10 team so they got a shot to beat WVU. Too bad they got some big injuries right now, otherwise they would have romped the U by even more. I missed most of that game though, so did Louisville dominate as much the score looked or did Miami just play an awful game or something?

Lol yeah that is the worst name I've heard. I was more on the Louisville bandwagon than the WVU, but the loss of the running back makes it harder. I still don't think either team is top-5 in the whole nation though.

Louisville fucked Miami up the whole game. They were impressive.

OU got majorly robbed. I don't see how they reviewed it and STILL got it wrong. Both the pass intro and the onside kick call. That pass intro that they picked up against Auburn I though was crap too. They said that it was the right call because the pass was uncatchable after the guy tipped the ball. So, basically, on a hail mary, a team could tackle all the receivers in the end zone, but as long as one of their players can tip the ball, it's no penalty? Lol, riiiiight.

Judging by schedules, it really looks like Ohio St./Michigan could be another #1 vs. #2 game at the end of the year. Auburn and Florida both have their murderous SEC schedules, USC actually has to go through a decent Pac10 this year and if Michigan and WVU both win out until then, Michigan will probably jump them in the rankings. I wonder how many times there have been two 1 vs 2 games in the same season.

lol wow Oklahoma probably the worst officating job ever

I don't know if Michigan is going to win out until their game againest Ohio State, just going off of past track records they have been known to slip up and lose to a team they shouldn't lose too.

They've actually been talking about suspending the game. :eek:

Yeah I heard that but it isn't going to happen, if you got ESPNU check out the Bob Stopps press conference, I've never really been an Oklahoma fan but that dude is the man.

Yeah Stoops is cool folk.

The reason that I don't give a shit is because Oklahoma isn't going to be a BCS team regardless. They looked very average against Washington and would have barely beat Oregon. So if Oklahoma finishes 9-3 and outside of the BCS, and a team like Iowa State or Missouri finishes 10-2, of course the Cotton Bowl or Holiday Bowl is going to take Oklahoma anyway.

just had to get the Missouri plug in

lol

It is a perfectly legitimate point, and Missour and Oklahomai could both very easily go 9-3 this year.

What if Oklahoma beats Texas this year? "Barely" beating a team like Oregon isn't that bad really, pretty sure they are like #15 or something the nation.

That is true, but I am looking more at the Washington game. The fact that Washington looked like the better team for a whole half in Norman, and then Oklahoma wasn't all that much better in the next game.

Oklahoma could beat Texas again this year, and that would change everything, but I don't think they will. Anyway, even if Oklahoma did go like 10-2, isn't the BCS based on the polls, so the voters wouldn't be skewed like the computer program?

You know......... If the Texans wind up with the first pick this year, then all of a sudden not taking Reggie Bush might've been the smartest move ever. Adrian Peterson is absolutely ridiculous in every sense of the word so if they got him and Mario Williams then they might just be geniuses after all.

I will be on national television TONIGGHHTTTT

Check your local listings.

ABC. 5 p.m.

I'll be probably on the 40 yd line on the right side of the field if you look at it from the tv. I'll probably be about 2-3 rows up. I'll be the one in the red shirt.

4-0!

Anybody see the Colorado game? Up 13-0 at Georgia in the fourth, then end up losing 14-13. Too bad they are about to go 0-5. Also, sucks that Wisconson lost, that is usually one of my favorite games, I wish it could have been on at a better time.

Also, No. 4 West Virginia 7 - 7 East Carolina in the second quarter.

Hey outlaw

GREAT GAME

Is there a hit out on your kicker yet?

Yes, everyone, not just espn, loves kissing ND's ass.

CU being 0-4 makes me quite happy
