The College Football thread

“Sorry Uncle Dunny...this is the weekend that Kansas gets seperated out from the real contenders. Colorado at home dismantles the Jayhawks and the fantasy ride ends.

Nebraska is on a mission to make y'all forget about last year. Missouri is going down and hard.

Tennessee...at home will rebound and edge Georgia.

BTW ....Go Hokies!!”

“OK/TEX - I like Texas getting points @ home. I mean if Bammy can hang within six, shouldn't Texas be able to cover 6?
UGA/Tenn - UGA could definitely win, but I like Tenn getting points @ home
Minn/Mich - Michigan is no Northwestern, beat the wolverines, you got my respect, but till then, I'll take Michigan in a pickem.
LSux/UF - LSU wins, but in the SEC I'll take the points everytime.
AU/ARK - Once again, I'll take the points. Auburn can win this one. They match up well.
Bammy/Smiss - O dayhiker, does Bammy go to 2-5 this week, I don't think so. Hadn't seen a line, but Alabama will cover this one.
OSU/WIS - Give me the points @ home. Wisconsin PLEASE beat the Luckeyes, Really Really BAD!!
CU/KAN - I think Kansas has a decent team, CU is struggling right now. Kansas wins outright. O Dunny, man if Baylor can beat them, ANYBODY can beat them. If they can win @ CU we can take Kansas off our "Prospective Homecoming Opponent" list.
UM/Criminoles - Miami loses, but covers the points.
OKSt/KSU - Too much Rashaun Woods, OK St wins this one.”

“arc, we graduated all of our experienced players last year. Though the way we played last year, that may be a blessing. Seriously, we have experience at shooting guard and small forward and point. We'll have a freshman at backup point, power forward and center. Doesn't that sound like a recipe for success?

arc, you need to come to Alabama in March. So far Dundad, Arky, Buddha, and JO are maybes. chili, cocoa, and myself are definites. We'll have to talk sports and sip whiskey by the campfire!!!”

“UAB even beat Baylor this year.”

“dayhiker..sounds good.

where are you in alabama? got a friend in Opelika....what's it like there? Tell me about Sipsey.

P.S. GO HOKIES!!!!”

“Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
PIG!
SOOIE!
RAZORBACKS!”

“The nearest town to Sipsey is Double Springs. It's in NW Alabama. My profile has a link to my webshots page that has pictures from last years trip.”

“Your old Uncle Doomy got slapped on the nose this Saturday. After the last batch of predictions, your old uncle was feeling pretty invincible. Well, he went 6 right and 5 wrong this time. Could be worse.
1.Miami is still the team that gives all of the southern teams nightmares.
2. Uhh, maybe somebody had better be concerned about Oklahoma?
3. I told you Ok St was gonna beat K-State.
4. Who called the Nebraska-Misery game? Apologize, JO.
5. I have a hard time believing that Auburn out-fought Arkansas, but AU has turned their ship around, officially.
6. Congratulations, Florida. Zookie doesn't lose his cookie....just yet.
7. Luckeyes! Nice game, Wisconsin.
8. Georgia played a better game this week. Tennessee is lacking a few ingredients.
9. Whoa! Michigan scores 31 in the fourth quarter. Sorry, Gophers, but you went underground in this game.
10. Va Tech rolls. Snore....
11. USC. More snoring.
12. Finally, we come to the Mighty Jayhawks. I think with the score ending up 50-47, the dream is still alive for the Jayhawks. However, they made some huge mistakes that gave the game away. Expect some big games still to come from these guys in blue.
Rock Chalk Jayhawk, Kaayyyy Uuuuuu!”

“i hate football.....and more specifically i hate refs who call back TWO touchdowns on phantoms holding calls and chance the outcome of a game....



maybe next year....”

“Strat the calls were bad, but we blew the game ourselves. Couldn't make the plays in the red zone. Just made me sick to see us self destruct that many times.”

“Kudos to Cocoa and his Tigers. Great defense on both sides. I really thought it would go to OT.”

“It's a sad day in Fayetteville, but remember, NOBODY goes undefeated this season.

OK, maybe the Sooners.”

“OK Dunadan...I was wrong about Mizzou and Tennessee. Boy was I wrong. Whooeee!! did Tenn stink it up. Poor Chili.

Well, there goes the Sugar Bowl for the Buckeyes. VaTech has to get by WVU in Motown and then Miami in Blacksburg. That was win over Fla State was impressive...on the road and in the slop.”

“It's a sad day in Fayetteville, but remember, NOBODY goes undefeated this season.

OK, maybe the Sooners."
Doomadan


i think you're correct on this one.....


playoff's anyone?



man, my voice is STILL horse from booing those refs...”

“~unenthusiastically~ go irish”

“The Gators won't be easy to figure this year: Lose to unranked Miss. at home, in what used to be one of the toughest, loudest stadiums for visiting teams in the country, in front of 92,000 friendly screaming fans. Next week, win against the #6 ranked team in the nation, on the road, in what used to be one of the toughest, loudest stadiums for visiting teams in the country, in front of 92,000 hostile screaming fans. Go figure.

As long as we beat Jawja, I'll be a very happy camper.

Sounds like a loooong sports year, Day. How's your golf team? I would love to travel to Bama for a trip. Got the 4-wheel-drive Jeep Liberty w/ tow package, upgrade tires, deep tint windows, fog lights, roof racks, and premium stereo (for blasting my Tony Rice, Norman Blake, Doc Watson, and Mark O'Conner Cds). It doesn't handle quite like my old Prelude, but it handled our Blueridge Parkway trip. I imagine it'll get me to Bama. Count me in for now, although we postponed the wedding we were going to have in September, and Denise wants to set the date for March. I'll let ya know.”

“Tough loss there Budha. Keep yer chin up and keep wearin' your colers proudly.”

“I'm with Strat. I hate football. Just 130 days until pitchers and catchers report!”

“One word:


Ouch.”

“East Carolina is the next beneficiary of Army largesse.

I hate football.”

“The Irish actually looked like a football team this week. The D was tough and the O-line actually moved people off the ball.

Sorry the Bucks lost BB, but after that shameful cheap shot on Wisconsin's QB, they really deserved everything they got.

Did anyone riot in Columbus this weekend?”

“Kind of gives a new meaning to the terms chokers, choked, etc.

Oh well, I guess the Buckeyes choked on the way to the Sugar Bowl.”

“Nigal - props, thanks for taking it easy on me.

To all the rest of you fools:

1. Yeah, we lost. Our offense sucks, and has all year. However, our defense is prolly the best in the nation, and has shaped the team. I'm proud of the stretch of wins. It's a huge accomplishment for our program.

2. That punk, Reynolds, that choked the QB for Wisconsin better be thrown off the team. That was one of the poorest displays of sportsmanship I've ever heard of, and the guy doesn't deserve to play football with us or anyone else. This view is the overwhelming consensus of Buckeye fans everywhere.

3. Pekka - I need your address, you have something coming your way. email me at jayd14@mail.com

4. Sorry Nigal, but were still gonna wipe out those Michigan punks! We'll shake on a good bet this weekend.

5. Lizs - care to wager on Saturday's game?

Lastly.... props to Kansas, the true surprise of this season!”

“For anyone who missed the most important play in the Georgia/UT game, here is a link to a link of the video of the play... ”

“"Nigal - props, thanks for taking it easy on me."

I ain't got a leg to stand on when it comes to losing this year. My season is scrapped anyhoo. LOL!

"4. Sorry Nigal, but were still gonna wipe out those Michigan punks! We'll shake on a good bet this weekend."

12 pack of your choice.”

“dayhiker needs to be shot.”

“Since my season is going poorly I have to live through the misery of others. chili, glad I could help.”

“"props to Kansas"


That's right. If you want... you can just send me 3 six-packs now instead of the case you'll owe me at the end of the season, Dunadan.”

“In two weeks, your misery will increase, dayhiker.

This is a pretty pissed off Vol team.....not to mention embarrassed. I think they will try to prove a point with poor bama.”

“I do too. At the end of the Georgia game it hit me that this would be your off week and then we play yall in Bryant Denny. We have never beaten you there and it may not happen in two weeks. I see where Clausen is getting beaten up pretty bad in the media. He'll be extra pissed come game time. Great.”

“Actually, Clausen may be one of the brighter spots on the team.

I am still not too crazy over him, but you just sort of know what you will get with him....a kind of predicatable inconsistency.

With the rest of the team, you never seem to know who or what will show up.”

“Of course I have not wanted to post since we got beat by your JayHawks two weeks ago. We did not play like we should have and you thumped us. I didn't predict we would beat the Cornholers but did predict after the Kansas and the bye week we would be a better team. I watched the game and we really shut them down in the fourth quarter. To think that Mizzou and Kansas are tied for the lead in the north is scary. We will get beat by OU but it won't hurt us in the north. If we can just beat the rest of the guys we will be ok. One thing we have over you guys. We have BEAT the Cornholers. It will be interesting”

“Alright. Where is Cocoa? Surely you have sobered up by now.”

“He's had several projects that have kept him busy. You know it's not because he's humble.”

“man, i got killer seats and i might have to work during the ark-fla game!


screw it! i'll just quit my job.....i have my priorities....!”

“I believe it was put best in the nursery rhyme or whatever it was...

And this little piggy cried all the way home.

J/K, it was a good old fashioned SEC football game. I'll be pullin for them the rest of the way.”

“WEST POINT, N.Y. - Lt. Gen. William J. Lennox Jr., superintendent of the U.S. Military Academy, announced the contract of head football coach Todd Berry was terminated today. Specific conditions were not released.

Lennox said his decision was based on the team's lack of progress. "The Corps of Cadets and the fans of Army football deserve a competitive program that is representative of this great institution," said Lennox.

The Army team is winless in six starts this year with Berry's record as head coach at 5-35. Berry assumed head coaching duties at Army in December 1999.”

“5-35, ... how the hell did he win those five games? And one of them was against Navy!”

“Well, I know I will love college football this weekend, there is no way UT will lose.”

“Dang, Army might could even win a game this season.









Naw!”

“We've invited the Gators to town. Told them it will be a pig roast at our place. Won't they be surprised when they find out it's actually Gator tail on the menu.”

“From Dingle Berry's last press conference:

Postgame Quotes
Army vs. Louisville (10-11-03)

Oct. 11, 2003

Army Head Coach Todd Berry

"I'm really encouraged by this team in a lot of ways. They keep fighting and scratching. We played TCU tough and had some opportunities in that ball game. We've played some good teams and keep coming out on the tough end. I believe this team has got some abilities once we put things together."

He's been trying to "put things together" for three and a half years!”

“Strat, it's too bad we're on opposite sides here.

Both Florida and Arkansas will be motivated. The only team in the league that plays more seniors than Florida (as if that's helped us), is Arkansas. Both teams have something to prove.

Sooooeeeeeee PIG PIG PIG. I hope you don't have to miss that game, strat. 3:30(EDT) on CBS. It could be a great one.”

“Eastern Arkansas will probably be deserted this weekend.

I can see the dust rising across the river now as all the fans are spinning out.

God, how do they drive wearing those pig noses?”

“I like football.”

“Do you feel the conversion taking place in your body? We don't wear those noses they just appear when the time comes.”

“I'm still giddy over the fact that Army might actually win another football game some day within my lifetime. It could happen.”

“The DAWGS are on a win streak!”

“Howdy, cousins! (I'm using my Arkansas greeting this time.)
Your Old Uncle Doomy wouldn't leave you hanging. He's got to do his duty to the football crazies of this fair land. So, here goes.
1. Boston College at Syracuse. Someone from Boston can win and the Eagles will prove it.
2. East Carolina @ Army. This one's for you, Ghoul. Sorry, Army loses.
3. Florida State will get healthy against Virginia.
4. UNLV will barely beat Utah.
5. Wash St will roll over the academically superior Stanford students.
6. New Mexico @ San Diego St. If this were at their home field, I would give the Lobos the nod. However, SD St will prevail.
7. Washington will enjoy some Beaver.
8. Purdue @ Wisconsin. This should be a real good match-up. Uncle Doomy is having a hard time calling this one. Better go with the home team. Wisconsin by 3.
9. Illinois might score against Michigan. Nawwwww.
10. Mich St @ Minnesota. The Gophers will see daylight in this game. Should be a good game but Minn will win.
11. Texas @ Iowa St. The freakin' Shorthorns will gore the Cyclones.
12. Colorado @ Kansas State. Colorado has zero defense, and the Wildcat fans are feeling bad these days. Wildcats by 20.
13. Notre Dame will lose. Sorry, Jesus.
14. Iowa @ Ohio St. Hmmmm....which team will scratch its way to victory? This is the hardest one to call, this week. Well, Uncle Doomy says that when in doubt go with the home team. Ohio St eeks it out one more time.
15. Alabama @ Ole Miss. The Crimson Tide will pick up a much-needed win.
16. Florida @ Arkansas. Could be a good game, but your Uncle says that the Porky's take it by two touchdowns.
17. South Carolina upsets LSU.
18. Texas Tech loses at Oklahoma St.
19. Missouri @ Oklahoma. The team whose state name sounds closest to misery will return to that state after the game. Okie by a lot.
20. Upset special! The Scarlet Knights of Rutgers put it all together against Pitt.
21. Last, but not least, the Mighty Jayhawks of Kansas will prevail against Baylor.

Until next week.
Rock Chalk Jayhawk
Kaayyyyyy
Uuuuuuuuuu”

“Congratulations on yet another win Dunadan. I’ll let you know my shipping address.

Rutgers had yet another competitive loss. Do moral victories count to bowl committees?”
