Finaly the season really starts :up: Screw Bama, Tuck Fexas, and Go Hogs :)

[FantasticVSDoom]

The first week is coming up and there is this small game on Monday Night that just happens to be one of the biggest of the season...Also Im looking foward to UCF/Wisconsin. UCF was such a downer last year, and Im hoping the Alma Mater has done some revamping and remember the name Steven Moffett, maybe not this year but he could be the next Dante Culpepper for UCF...

[Toad]

Florida's home opener has been rescheduled for Oct. 16 due to Hurricane Frances.

I'm very certain the FSU-Miami game on Monday night will likewise be rescheduled for next weekend.

[B.A.]

CU and CSU square off again. CU by 10.

[twikoff]

[Toad]

Hopefully our two schools will do well against their namby-pamby opponents. ;)

hmmm.. except its now 4th down

[twikoff]

there they go
touchdown

41-21 will be the final

i probably cant stay up to watch the 2nd half of of the game on espn2 :(

[Copenhagen]

Trev -rolleyes- nice arguement against instant replay.

[El Scorcho]

Im going to Boise St. vs Idaho for some reason :lol:

[Copenhagen]

NW runs it in.

All tied up at 31

[Copenhagen]

TCU throws a pick..NW with the ball inside the 50.

[Copenhagen]

TD Frogs, back to a 7pt lead.

[Copenhagen]

Paging any defense in this game..NW with a long TD pass to tie it back up.

[movielib]

If NU can just get a couple stops they can win this. I'm sure not betting on it though.

[Copenhagen]

Well there is one stop.

[movielib]

Shit!

[Copenhagen]

Hugh INT by TCU.

[MrX]

I missed it but somebody should tell him the crew doing this game is pretty much the main reason their is instant replay.

It's a shame the game isn't @ NW because it would only be fitting for Bill "Wolverine" LeMonnier to have the first overturned call

[Copenhagen]

TD TCU!

[Copenhagen]

:lol:

Wrong direction on 3rd and 1.

[Copenhagen]

Amazing NW inside the 10 with 21 secs to go.

[Copenhagen]

Wow...and we're tied again (XP pending)

[movielib]

Touchdown, NU! Don't blow the extra point.

[Copenhagen]

Missed FG after a defensive stop by the Frogs :up:

[movielib]

NU in big trouble.

[Copenhagen]

The walk-on has it blocked :eek:

[movielib]

Blocked! Life!

[scottall]

wow

[Copenhagen]

So where was all this D during the first four quarters :hscratch:

[movielib]

After 90 points scored in regulation, two teams can't score starting from the 25. :lol:

[Copenhagen]

And another 3 and out...Long FG for the walk-on.

[Copenhagen]

Figures he would nail that one.

[movielib]

I really didn't think he would make it.

Come on NU, get a TD.

[Copenhagen]

And a FG attempt to tie.....


Missed...TCU wins :up:

[movielib]

I don't believe it.

[twikoff]

looks like i went to bed too early :(

[Toad]

If this thread is this long after only a few noteworthy games, I'm scared to see what'll happen on Saturday.

Play-by-play for every game? Yippee!! :(

Anyone watching or going to the CSU/CU game?

Go Rams!

Just hoping things would change. I love talking football; I hate reading play-by-plays after I've already seen the play. Then again, I don't read these threads while watching football...

Anyway - damn shame that FSU-Miami game was postponed - I was looking forward to being there Monday night. :(

Im kinda glad it was postponed to Friday...I would have stayed up all night watching it on Monday, and either be really happy and partied or been really pissed and drank till I passed out only to get up the next day for work. At least now I can either be really happy on a Friday or have my whole weekend ruined the following week. Not too mention, it needs to be a nice weather day, because its bad enough FSU plays so conservative against Miami. Plus they dont need another day like last years game.

[Toad]

You're right I totally forgot about that - when Miami came up here, FSU could easily have beaten them. That was a torrential downpour like you wouldn't believe - that's why I didn't go to the game.

Then in the bowl game FSU just gave in at the end.

Hopefully this year brings some of the old (beating UF) and some of the new (dominating Miami).

ah.. yea, i bet coming in later and trying to read a gameday thread makes it difficult :D

but for those of us posting as we watch the game.. its great :up:

Yeah I was on my way there as well last year, but the down pour had 75 backed up. I say it every year, and I wont stop this year. Hopefully Bobby wont tense up and play so conservative this time around against Miami. Also, I hope Rix has his head on straight for all games this year and not just a select few. I think now with Jones gone, Washington will get a lot more carries and I think he will be very good with relief from Booker.

Friday, Sep. 3
Matchup TV Time/Result
Washington State @ New Mexico 8:00 pm

Im not very interested.. but

START THE DAMN GAME ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!

[MrX]

those things LOVE bama every year :yack:

[twikoff]

Im *kindof* watching this game

anyone else?

[zak52]

I've been flipping between this and the O's game.

[twikoff]

:lol:
New Mexico gets down to the 11
they throw into the endzone on 3rd down and hit the defender square in the hands
the defender catches it.. and somehow drops it on the way to the ground.. so its called incomplete

then the call conference fg kicker comes in and misses the chipshot fieldgoal rotfl


so now we are 26 1/2 minutes in, and still 0-0

[twikoff]

and here is a case for instant replay

Wash St was driving in the final 2 minutes.. on the UNM side of the field

they throw the long pass.. the defender clearly trapped it.. all 3 refs get together and take forever to make the call.. and finally they call it an interception..
a replay would have shown it was obviously trapped
although I still havent decided what i think of IR in NCAA play.

looks like we will end up with a scoreless first half in this game

[twikoff]

great 61 yard td run by new mexico for a touchdown

they are back up... 14-7 now

[twikoff]

UNM has been up in this game most of the way..
but with a 17-14 lead.. they just had a punt blocked around the 15 yard line.. and WSU takes over at the 4

about 7 minutes to play in the game



and it took 1 play to score the touchdown... 21-17 now

[twikoff]

UNM starts driving and gives up and interception in the middle of the field

WSU starts heading down to ice the game.. and UNM intercepts it back.. but a stupid unsportsmanlinke call backs them up to the 7 yard line :lol:


3:41 remaining

[twikoff]

and UNM throws it right back to WSU for another interception

rotfl

3:10 left.. now WSU has the ball and the lead

[twikoff]

UNM got the ball back.. and with 1 1/2 minutes were trying to drive
and this time they fumbled it away

that should wrap up this game..

WSU will win 21-17 barring some really stupid move as they run out the clock

[twikoff]

UNM actually got the ball back with 30 secs to go.. but they didnt go anywhere

and the cougars are 1-0

UNM never brought in their chick kicker

[Jeremy517]

The Cougars always have problems running the clock out. Thankfully it didn't hurt this game.

[zak52]

twikoff, will you make them start the damn games already.

BTW, this thread is very sucky. Why don't we stick to our original format of having a serperate thread for the games during the week and the games on the weekend? Starting a thread a week early is pointless.

[twikoff]

Ive been calling around to all the athletic directors of teams that start at noon and asking them to go ahead and start the games a few hours early for me

but the bastards keep hanging up on me :mad:

*I highlighted some of the ones Im intersted in

[zak52]

I'm interested in seeing the Temple/Virginia game since the Terps have Temple next week. I've heard Temple may have their best team in a long time. Although that's not really saying much. I'm also really interested in seeing the Miami(OH)/Michigan game. I think that one has a chance at being interesting.

[twikoff]

I'll go with Air Force over Cal. Air Force is always good at the beginning of the season, their offense is difficult to prepare for, and they are at home.

I think Toledo has a good chance, but with such a low ranked top 25 team, it probably wouldn't be much of an upset.

[twikoff]

yea.. i was thinking air force over call..
but i gotta believe that cal will have a decent team this year.. since they may be the only team to stand in USC's way :lol:

i thought about toledo over minnesota.. but Ive got a really strong feeling that the gophers are going to lay some smack down... strong enough.. i put 9 confidence points on that game..

oh yea.. anyone that hasnt gotten into the ncaa pickem.. its a couple threads down.. gotta have your picks in by 11:55est, so hurry up

[twikoff]

gameday starts in 5 minutes

also, you can log onto espn.com for the live gameday chat
i think jim donnan is on this morning

[zak52]

I'll pick Air Force over Cal also. I am very concerned about the Terps game against NIU. I really hope the Terps have a little payback for them.

I guess I'll sign up to defend my title. I don't like that confidence ranking at all though.

I'm not as concerned as you, although I think the 14 1/2 spread is a bit much.

I'd also take Wake over Clemson as my upset. I think Clemson is extremely overrated.

[Y2K Falcon]

At least Clemson is playing at home...


How bad is Michigan state, that they are under a touchdown favorites against the Scarlet Knights???? :hscratch:

[twikoff]

START THE DAMN GAMES NOW!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

[twikoff]

anthony davis is going to run all over central florida
this one could get ugly

[Pharoh]

Game On!!



Go Bucks!

[twikoff]

Ive got:

South Carolina vs Vandy
Bowling Green vs Oklahoma
Central Florida vs Wisconsin
Air Force vs California

and at 1pm.. Ill have Auburn on the radio

[Pharoh]

Only going with three games right now:

OSU vs. Cincy

Michigan vs. Miami (Oh)

Wisconisn vs. Cent. Fla.

[twikoff]

the big10 replay system is using a TIVO :lol:

[twikoff]

3 minutes in.. and Oklahoma isnt destroying Bowling Green yet :hscratch:

[zak52]

It's early, but Michigan better be careful with Miami(OH).

No matter how close it is early, I have to believe that Michigan's size and depth will wear Miami down.

[twikoff]

California vs. Air Force CAL 7 AFA 0 - 1st 11:47
Kent State vs. Iowa KEN 0 IOW 3 - 1st 08:43
Miami (Ohio) vs. Michigan MIO 0 MIC 0 - 1st 08:42
Cincinnati vs. Ohio State CIN 0 OSU 0 - 1st
Bowling Green vs. Oklahoma BG 0 OU 7 - 1st
Virginia vs. Temple UVA 10 TEM 0 - 1st
Murray State vs. Connecticut MUR 0 CON 7 - 1st 09:15
Central Florida vs. Wisconsin UCF 3 WIS 7 - 1st 05:00

[Pharoh]

Brief analysis of the Buckeyes:

They are extremely young, starting only a few Seniors, but they are very talented. This is probably the most talented and fastest defense they have had. Their depth at all the skill positions is also outstanding. To me, their season will boil down to how the young lines, both sides, play.


So far today, they haven't done much yet. The score is still tied at zero.

[Pharoh]

-ohbfrank-

Damn! An offensive pass interference call negates a 40 yard touchdown pass. Stupid. The push-off wasn't necessary.

[zak52]

You would figure that, but Miami has some nice size and speed themselves. Depth can be a problem, but if it's close in the fourth quarter, we all know what can happen.

Miami is on a nice drive right now.

[zak52]

Stupid penalty by Miami on 4th down. Miami has to punt now.

[MrX]

Air Force just tied Cal at 7

[twikoff]

bowling green with a nice strip.. and they now have the ball in good position.. down 7-0

[twikoff]

uva going to make that temple game pretty ugly :lol:

17-0 now

[twikoff]

and bowling green with a quick touchdown to tie oklahoma at 7

just under 2 minutes left in the 1st qtr

[zak52]

Wow, that was an awesome punt return by Virginia and some real bad tackling by Temple.

[zak52]

Bowling Green ties up OU at 7.

[zak52]

INT by Miami.

[twikoff]

cal touchdown run puts them back up.. 14-7

[MrX]

INT Michigan

[zak52]

Michigan gets the ball right back.

[twikoff]

and oklahoma with an easy touchdown run to answer
back up 14-7

[zak52]

Sheesh, how can Betts get a penalty on that?

[twikoff]

not that anyone cares.. but lou holtz's gamecocks are now up 14-0 on vandy :lol:

very interesting touchdown pass if anyone saw that -eek-

[matta]

And Georgia Tech's season is underway!

[zak52]

Michigan gets on the board first 3-0.

[zak52]

Are the refs allowed to call the players number on penalties now? If so, it's about time.

[twikoff]

yep.. that was a new rule put in this season :up:

[zak52]

Another Michigan INT.
1st and goal.

[MrX]

Wisconsin runs a fumble back for a TD

[MrX]

and it's under review

[twikoff]

and once again.. they use the TIVO instant replay to check it out

and the TD is taken away.. ball recovered with the knee on the ground

[zak52]

Wow, Miami holds Michigan on the first three plays.
Michigan going on 4th down.

TD Michigan

:(

[twikoff]

bowling green has to settle for a fieldgoal

now they trail 14-10

[Pharoh]

The Ohio State defense is playing about as advertised after a slow start. The offense? Well that's another story so far.

[MrX]

:lol:They're reviewing another play in the Wisconsin game

[twikoff]

going to be alot of instant replay
at least in the pros.. they are restricted to a number of challenges

so far.. the ones that have been reviewed.. have been worthwhile

[twikoff]

WAIT WAIT WAIT
they are screwing up big time here

ball should be on the 29
and they are spotting on the 41

:lol: rotfl

[MrX]

It only took them 2 tries to screw it up:lol:

[MrX]

They fixed it

[twikoff]

well.. they ended up getting it right

and oh, it was sure worth it
after replay..it causes them to move the ball back ONE FRIGGIN YARD

[zak52]

Michigan gets away with a pass interference call. That would have gave Miami the ball deep in Michigan territory.

[MrX]

TD Wisconsin

[twikoff]

oklahoma is just cruising down the field
1st and goal now

[twikoff]

and oklahoma touchdown.. 21-10 now

[twikoff]

and quickly.. bowling green turns it over.. and gives oklahoma great field position

[zak52]

Sack by Miami to end the first half. That caused Michigan a chance of at least a FG.
Michigan 10
Miami 0

[twikoff]

UCF just took this final minute of the half off

[MrX]

1st & goal Wisconsin with 14 secs left in the half

[Pharoh]

OSU finally puts together a reasonable drive to score a touchdown. They lead 10-3

[twikoff]

badgers going backwards
going to have to settle for a FG

[twikoff]

Oklahoma up 24-10
under 2 minutes left in the half

the smartest thing they could do is sneak out the back during halftime, and beat traffic home

[twikoff]

air force only down 21-14 against cal at the half

[MrX]

Fumble by Miami deep in Michigan territory

[zak52]

Betts has really killed Miami today with his two INT's and that fumble.

[zak52]

TD Michigan. All of their points have come from Miami's(Betts) turnovers.

[twikoff]

the cal player dives into the endzone and fumbles as he goes
air force recovers in the endzone

the officials took forever to make the call.. and they said he broke the plain on the dive


on the replay.. its 100% obvious that the call was blown and the ball was out before he crossed the line

[zak52]

Michigan is running away with this one 24-0.

They need the Tivo.

[twikoff]

antonio perkins looks to have injured himself on a punt return :eek:

[twikoff]

north carolina down 14-7 against william and mary in the 2nd qtr :lol: rotfl :lol:

[Pharoh]

Bucks score agains, go up 17-6.

But, they've had 4 damn fumbles in the game. Even though they have only lost one, they have hurt. Can not play this sloppy and hope to win.

[Pharoh]

I also see that Michigan's defense is as advertised. They are so quick in their back seven.

[twikoff]

one of the air force defenders forgot to play defense
and cal just had a 74 yard pass for a touchdown

[twikoff]

ULM fumble.. Auburn recovers..
Carnell with a quick 24 yards to setup first and goal :up:

[twikoff]

bowling green forgot how to tackle and oklahoma cruises in for another touchdown..

37-10

they should have taken my suggestion and snuck away at the half

[zak52]

Miami scores 10 straight. Michigan 24-10

[twikoff]

Miami's punt returner is awesome. Miami has the ball in Michigan territory.

[Daryl]

Home early from The Big House (took my toddler, so I left at halftime to keep him from going stir crazy)

Ive had the audio feed running since about 1pm est.. for all the pregame as well.. so I was already in

but both the audio and live stat feeds are running really well for me

[zak52]

It's a shame Betts played so poorly for Miami. This should be a great ballgame.

auburn holds them to -1 yard on the next series.. and a 20 yard punt gave auburn the ball at the ULM 40.. Auburn is driving now

[zak52]

Sheesh, another INT by Betts.

[Daryl]

I'm heading back to the game and cracking skulls if Miami scores a TD and I push Mich-13 because of a doinked XP.

Oops, another INT from Betts. MVP of the game.

[twikoff]

Didn't some pick Air Force?




And in Buckeyeland, Co-QB Troy Smith completed a 22 yard pass to Santonio Holmes for another Touchdown, making the score 24-6. OSU running game finally started pounding away, gaining 180 yards on the ground against what is supposed to be a good defensive team.

thank you very much sir. just made my day. given my now broken $1500 tv, that is taking forever to get fixed (damn you sony), i was starting to have a breakdown.

at least i get to listen to my tigers. :)

[twikoff]

well.. a couple people took them as the top 25 upset shot...
not really many decent top 25 upset picks this week

based on passed teams.. it could have been a decent pick

but this is suppose to be a good year for cal, and a down year for air force...

[Daryl]

TD Michigan 43-10

no problem

auburn rush defense hasnt been stellar yet..
although I dont believe they expected ULM to try and run it

ULM is about to punt again from the Auburn 49

do u know why cox is in the game instead of campbell?

[twikoff]

brandon cox (redshirt freshman) in at qb now.. nice pass play for 39 yards

looks like this series they are letting ronnie brown run, and resting carnell.... and brown is running pretty well..


Cox scrambles for a 14 yard TOUCHDOWN AUBURN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[twikoff]

Originally posted by nchhabra

because its La Monroe ;)

they also are planning to do full line substitutes today.. swapping all 5 players in and out at a time.. to let everyone get playing time.

[twikoff]

cal up 56-14 on air force now
still 4 minutes to play

[Daryl]

another INT for Miami, turnover #7 (or is it 8) - 1:37 to go, so it will end Mich 43-Miami 10

[zak52]

I'm going to start a part 2.

[twikoff]

why? we dont have problems with long threads anymore

alright than I won't start a part 2. :lol:

[twikoff]

:lol:
too late.. fine with me either way.. i was just curious
thats why our smallball thread has like 3200 posts ;)

[zak52]

Hopefully we'll have some better games coming up.

[twikoff]

8 games complete so far
all have ended up pretty much as expected.. but thats typical for week 1

[twikoff]

jason campbell throws and interception that LM almost returns for a touchdown.. they are in auburn territory now :mad:
bad play too.. auburn was cruising in for another score

[nchhabra]

oh well at least i know he isn't hurt, just playing like the normal inconsistent jason campbell. :yack:

[twikoff]

Auburn defense beats the crap out of ULM in the redzone to force a FG attempt after the turnover


and they missed the chipshot.. Auburn up 17-0.. under a minute to play in the first half.. they will just run out the clock here.

[MrX]

Rutgers first play of the game is a 57 yard run down to the MSU 25:lol:

[twikoff]

i blame campbell's troubles last year squarely on the shoulders of the lack of a offensive coordinator..
Im going to give him the benefit of the doubt and hope they can utilize him better this season...

otherwise.. thats why Brandon Cox is getting some reps ;)

Man has UNC fallen. They used to be a pretty good program a few years ago.

[zak52]

Well, I have to go visit my Grandmother in the hopsital before the Terps game.

[Daryl]

Rutgers kills a good drive by having a QB fall with no one around him on 3rd down, and then they miss an easy FG

[twikoff]

one of my non sports watching friends and his wife are coming over tonight.. they know damn well that Ill be watching the games.. but probably means Ill also have to entertain.. so I doubt Ill get to post much tonight :(
hopefully they dont stay too long :D

[twikoff]

oklahoma state with a 7-0 lead on UCLA
I took OSU in that one.. but UCLA was a 1 point favorite..
not that it would be an upset either way..

[twikoff]

georgia southern ties the game 7-7 with georgia.. 20 minutes into the game

19 play, 80 yard drive :eek:

[twikoff]

time of possession:
Georgia Southern - 16:41
Georgia - 3:40

Georgia Southern is starting to rack up the injuries though

[Daryl]

Rutgers has their freshman kicker try a 56 yard FG despite the fact he just missed one under 30 yards. Still 0-0 Rutgers/Mich St

[matta]

Alright. Georgia Tech is 1-0 Top 25 here we come....

[twikoff]

william and mary score a touchdown... north carolina answer

W&M lead 31-28 now

[MrX]

It looks like John L forgot to teach his team how to catch the football:lol:

[twikoff]

georgia manages a fieldgoal to take a 10-7 lead on Ga. Southern

just over 2 minutes left in the half

[twikoff]

Auburn with a 32 yard pass for a TOUCHDOWN AUBURN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

24-0 now

[nchhabra]

td auburn!!
campbell to aroumoshouda (sp?) 32 yards.

[MrX]

Rutgers QB needs to stop attempting to scramble with the ball.

And the refs screw MSU

[Jeremy517]

I like that they finally started having the referee announce who each penalty is on, like the NFL does. :up:

[twikoff]

ga southern fumbles it back around the redzone and sets ga up for a chance to add to their lead before the half

although it was the ga southern player that covered the fumble.. bad call by the refs.... i guess they need the TIVO too :lol:

and greene tries to throw a quick interception.. but southern dropped it in the endzone

[twikoff]

Clemson with a 14-3 lead on Wake right now

a GREAT catch by wake.. but coming back on a flag

[twikoff]

wow
and ga southern defense pushes georgia backwards and forces them to kick a fg.. now UGA leads 13-7

[MrX]

Rutgers kicks a FG and then recovers an MSU fumble inside the MSU 25

[twikoff]

i guess i missed a safety.. clemson now up 16-3

[twikoff]

and north carolina is finally taking the lead and putting away william and mary :lol:

42-31 in the 4th qtr now
thats just sad

[MrX]

If Rutgers offense didn't suck they'd be blowing MSU out right now

And MSU blocks the FG try

Still 3-0 Rutgers

[twikoff]

interception by AUBURN!!! :D

[twikoff]

clemson kicker puts it off the post and somehow it bounced through rotfl

19-3 now over wake

i figured this was a weak upset pick.. but I didnt see many other choices to take :lol:

[MrX]

TD MSU

7-3 now

[twikoff]

this is the bad thing about playing a team like ULM... Carnell doesnt get as many carries as he normally would because they are trying out so many different things

that being said.. Ronnie Brown with a 30 yard run for a TOUCHDOWN AUBURN!!!!!!


Cadillac with 93 yards rushing, 9 rec yards and a touchdown
Ronnie Brown with 50 yards rushing, 7 rec yards, and a touchdown

[twikoff]

oklahoma state takes the lead back.. now up 21-14 in the 2nd

[MrX]

Wake with a TD

19-10 now

[MrX]

FG Rutgers

7-6 MSU

[twikoff]

ULM is putting together a decent drive against Auburn's 2nd and 3rd string team :(

[MrX]

Rutgers and Northwesterns kickers are going to have to go into hiding together. Rutgers kicker is 2-5 today.

Cadillac up over 100 yards rushing on the day! 103 now
another 55 for Ronnie Brown.. and

MSU getting close to FG range about a minute away from the half

[twikoff]

auburn fumbles it away
then on the next play ULM fumbles it right back

[MrX]

MSU with a 52 yd FG attempt that hits the crossbar and bounces back

Rutgers gets the ball with 1:01 left

[twikoff]

Georgia opened the 2nd half with a touchdown drive.. they are now up 20-7
and if ga southern keeps losing players to injury.. they may have to start playing both ways soon :lol:

[MrX]

Rutgers gets the ball back with 1:01 left and one timeout

2 of their 3 plays have been a run up the middle and a 5 yard pass in the middle of the field:lol:

[MrX]

:lol:

Why were these announcers and studio guys hyping Rutgers QB before the game? This guy sucks.

They're just out side FG range so he throws a floater 30 yds down the field to his WR that's double covered and MSU picks it off
