[Bill Geiger]

7 days till kick-off

[twikoff]

START THE DAMN GAMES ALREADY!!!!!!!!

btw.. how did you decide which ones to bold... you missed some really good matchups.

[Bill Geiger]

The decision was just based on betting purposes and possible decents picks. Nothing more, nothing less.

[twikoff]

here are bowl projections :lol:

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/football/ncaa/specials/preview/2005/bowl.projections/index.html

[Canadian Bacon]

can someone please explain to me why so many people think Alabama will be good this year?

as usual they're overrrated oh well when they go 3-9/2-9 the rest of SEC fans will :lol:

they've got my Hogs in bowl, yeah at least it's not Shreveport rotfl

[twikoff]

they always pick bama high
because they always know bama will have one of the toughest defenses in the country and never know what to expect from their offense
everyone is banking on brodie actually putting together a healthy season.. He is good, when he actually is out there.. And they have really good running backs returning..
they could possibly win 10 games this season.. but shula alone should be good for at least 4 losses.

oh.. and SCREW BAMA!!!!!!

[MrX]

I'm just happy the Ron Turne reign of terror is over at Illinois:banana:

Zook probably won't win more then 4 games this year, his defense is made up mostly of guys Turner out recruited directional schools for and our best QB is a Sr in high school right now, but he seems to be off to a good start.

One final kick in the sack from Turner was Zook had to throw RB Marcus Mason off the team. Turner took a commitment from Mason over Minnesota RB, and probable Heisman candidate, Laurence Maroney who wanted to come to Illinois-ohbfrank-

[dancinns]

Whoo hoo! Go Ducks! :banana:

[Joeboo835]

I'm excited to finally see Laurence Maroney get his chance to be the featured back. He'll finally be able to show the country what he can do on his own.

Go Gophers

[Josh H]

Start the damn games already!

Can't wait for WVU-Syracuse on Sunday. Will be interesting as there's no way to know what to expect from either team. Both lost a lot, WVU will have a first time starting QB, Syracuse is playing the first game under a new coach etc.

[RoyalTea]

that was my second guess

He does seem to be a little too enthusiastic about little debby snack cakes and brownies. :lol:

[RoyalTea]

i just wish I were talented enough to lie to people and tell them I play fictitious water polo positions.

[Jeremy517]

I love my Cougars (WSU, not BYU, Houston, etc), but 29.5 is a huge number for us. A lot of new faces on the O-Line and in the secondary, and two quarterbacks who have yet to show much. 61.0 sounds way too high also.

[Bill Geiger]

Idaho blows though.....we'll see.

[Jeremy517]

Don't get me wrong... we should win. But number is big for this young team.

[MrX]

Myron Rolle, who's considered by most scouts to be the #1 SR in this high school class, made his college choice today. Rolle has a 4.0 GPA at a private school in NJ. He said he plans to be a premed major and academics would be very important in determining what school he picked. So what school did he pick?

Florida Staterotfl

[Red Dog]

Should have bet the over in the Houston game.

[Red Dog]

Oregon might have the worst secondary I've ever seen. USC might put up 100 on them when they play.

[twikoff]

sweet play by the cocks
but he let himself get run down inside the 5 :eek:
65 yards on that screen pass

[twikoff]

and usc punches it in to go up 14-0.. halfway through the first qtr

[Red Dog]

Damn - that Oregon kicker is earning his scholarship.

[twikoff]

its funny
you can actually see the spurrier swagger in these usc players
they just dont have the talent to back it up

like that play there.. they get the guy wide open for a long pass that was a sure touchdown, and the qb overshoots him by almost 10 yards.

[twikoff]

over 200 yards passing by s. carolina in the first quarter :lol:

[Red Dog]

I don't which is worse - the Oregon secondary or the timekeeper in this game.

[Red Dog]

Damn - that Oregon kicker is earning his scholarship.


I jinxed him.

[Bill Geiger]

UConn finally coming into their own....24-0 on Buffalo.

[Bill Geiger]

What a great fucking catch by SC!

[twikoff]

holy crap.. makes throws and catches like that.. and usc is going to put up huge yards through the air

[Bill Geiger]

:up:

Uconn -10 first half
USC -11.5 first half

:)

[Red Dog]

Wow. The coach of Houston has zero faith in his kicker. Going for it on 4th and 3 from the 10 and up 1 point. :lol:

[Jeremy517]

Don't get me wrong... we should win. But number is big for this young team.

Going 80 yards from scrimmage on the first play of the game is a pretty good start though :lol:

[Jeremy517]

And then a fumble on the ensuing kickoff, followed by a second touchdown three plays later.

Maybe the Cougars put up a copy of my post on the locker room bulletin board...

[Red Dog]

I've drawn one major conclusion about college football this season watching this Oregon/Houston game....

college football + instant replay = 4 hour games on average

[Bill Geiger]

Temple fumbles but recovers...0-0 woth 11 minutes to go in the 1st qtr.

[Red Dog]

I never liked the can't-advance-a-muff rule.

And no, I didn't bet on UCF. ;)

[twikoff]

ucf trying to make a game of it :up:

[twikoff]

and USC fumbles the kickoff, UCF recovers in the redzone!

[Red Dog]

ucf trying to make a game of it :up:


Yeah, but I have no idea why they went for a FG down 14 with 6 minutes left, unless the coach had UCF and the pts. ;)

[twikoff]

because they were planning to recover a fumble on the following kickoff

duh!

[twikoff]

maroney getting a quick start
67 yard run early :up:

[twikoff]

from between the 1 and 2 yard line
you really gotta go this time
even if you get the ball back.. you may not make it down here again

[twikoff]

and he is stuffed on the goal line

thats ballgame

[Red Dog]

Now was the time to kick a FG.

[Red Dog]

Oregon -9 :thumbsup: Made it interesting though with all the FGs. Nice to start the betting season with win.

[twikoff]

did someone forget to tell UCF that the freekick after a safety is a free ball for either team to recover
they almost sat there and let USC cover it

[twikoff]

ucf quickly down to the 16 yard line
down 9 points (after the intentional safety)
40 seconds to go

:lol:

[twikoff]

USC missed two easy chances for a interception in the endzone to wrap up the game (on the same play)

and spurrier threw the visor :banana:

[Joe Molotov]

They almost made it close.

[FantasticVSDoom]

Sick of "moral victories"...UCF needs to start backing up their talk about wanting to get to the next level. Only getting 10 points after driving in the 2nd half and giving up 2 quick td's is ridiculous :mad:.

[twikoff]

maroney getting a quick start
67 yard run early :up:

and maroney with another long TD run
this one for 73 yards

159 yard rushing.. with still a minute and half left in the first QUARTER!

[FantasticVSDoom]

Ok its just the first game and Im already hoping that something bad happens to Trev Alberts...How does this guy still have a job??

[twikoff]

Ok its just the first game and Im already hoping that something bad happens to Trev Alberts...How does this guy still have a job??
he gives good head

[Deftones]

Jesus. The place kicker for ASU is good. On a safety against the Devils, they elected to place kick rather than punt from the 20 yard line. The kicker, Ainsworth, kicked it 79 yards in the air to the opposing goal line. -eek-

[The Cow]

Spurrier re-debut = underwhelming :up:

[Iron Chef]

I'm not suprised that he did well with a team named the cocks, considering he's been one for years

[twikoff]

Spurrier re-debut = underwhelming :up:
well.. that 200+ yards passing in the first quarter had people talking
but ending up with only about 350, wasnt all that impressive
there was definitly a difference in the team, but without the talent, they arent going to win very many games..
they absolutely cannot run the ball at all.. and their defense will get picked apart by sec caliber teams.

[Big Dave]

Trying to set-up my bank-roll this week. Hit the first 3 games of a 4-team, 13pt teaser (Oregon, Conneticut, Minnesota), have Utah +6 going tonight to finish it off.

[twikoff]

START THE DAMN GAMES AGAIN
although tonight is going to suck.. but utah does have a win streak on the line.. thats enough to get my interest.. even if it is against :lol: arizona

[WallyOPD]

even if it is against :lol: arizona

:( Stoops has the Wildcats on a definite upswing, it shouldn't be too long before people aren't laughing at the UofA.

[Deftones]

:( Stoops has the Wildcats on a definite upswing, it shouldn't be too long before people aren't laughing at the UofA.

People will always laugh at the UofA. ;)

[WallyOPD]

People will always laugh at the UofA. ;)

:( I guess I'll just have to take solace in their perennial Top 10 basketball team and the fact that they're 7-5 in their last 12 meetings with ASU in football. Oh and I hope ASU enjoyed the Sun Bowl last year. ;)

[Deftones]

:( I guess I'll just have to take solace in their perennial Top 10 basketball team and the fact that they're 7-5 in their last 12 meetings with ASU in football. Oh and I hope ASU enjoyed the Sun Bowl last year. ;)

Yep. They enjoyed it more than the bowl that UofA went to.....

[WallyOPD]

*sigh* There's only so many retorts I can have as the fan of a losing football team.

[twikoff]

looks like arizona is about to show their true colors and let utah run all over them

[WallyOPD]

Tie game! :banana:

[WallyOPD]

or not :(

[Bill Geiger]

:up:

Utah -4.5 first half

[WallyOPD]

Huge touchdown for Arizona.

[Joe Molotov]

Woah, close call for Arizona there.

[MrX]

That's a pretty dumb move by Arizona

[WallyOPD]

Defense needs to force a quick 3 and out now.

[WallyOPD]

Arizona might want to consider tackling sometime.

[twikoff]

and that will end it

nice that we had a good game tonight :up:

[Bill Geiger]

glad I didn't bet the -7.5 spread for the full game

[WallyOPD]

Would have been nice to get the win but this is still a building year for Stoops and they did play them close.

[Big Dave]

Won the 1st 4-team 13pt teaser of the season tonight. Have this one going early tomorrow:

Bowling Green +15
Northwestern -1
Ohio State -2
Missouri -11.5

[Bill Geiger]

Oh yeah, before I forget, Go Boise State!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I smell upset!!!

[MrX]

Who thought it was a good idea to hire Nick Lachey for College Gameday-ohbfrank-

[Rockmjd23]

Who thought it was a good idea to hire Nick Lachey for College Gameday-ohbfrank-
I wonder if it is the same people who thought Justin Timberlake would be good for TNT basketball.

[boredsilly]

Who thought it was a good idea to hire Nick Lachey for College Gameday-ohbfrank-

I thought he did a pretty god job.

[Daryl]

I've seen a few interviews with the other guys on the show who have said he really knows his college football

[MrX]

Did Charlie Weis piss in Mark May's cereal this morning:lol:

[Daryl]

Likes today:
Georgia (sorry Bill)
UCLA/SDSU Over
Miami (OH)
and the usual USC 1H

like a little:
obligatory USC/Hawaii Over
Iowa 1H
Maryland

[Daryl]

whoever signed off on the Wisconsin helmets should have a similar "W" tatooed to both the front and back of their head. What's the story - a one game retro, or brand spankin' new? I wasn't listening to the outset of the game.

edit: apparently retro. Should've left them in the past

[MrX]

I hope retro, those things look awful

[MrX]

Already a replay in the Wisconsin game, this game won't be over until about 6

[MrX]

TD Bowling Green

[MrX]

Rutgers misses a 34 yd FG

[Daryl]

Well Wisky's D better get better quickly or we won't have to worry about seeing the W's anymore

[MrX]

TD Ohio St

I wonder if that kicks in any bonus clauses in their deals

[MrX]

ESPN moron:"I think Ron Turner left Ron Zook a great foundation to build upon"

Turner's last 2 recruiting classes are filled with kids he beat directional schools for:lol:

[Daryl]

Good stuff, X! :lol:

[Daryl]

TD BGSU 14-0 over Wisc.

[MrX]

Rutgers kicker has been Illinois's MVP so far

[MrX]

I wonder if Wisconsin changes uniforms at the half

[twikoff]

TD Ohio St

I wonder if that kicks in any bonus clauses in their deals

an offensive touchdown??? ohio state????

[MrX]

TD Illinois-eek-

[twikoff]

TD BGSU 14-0 over Wisc.

13-0
missed extra point

[MrX]

Wisconsin passed for a TD:jawdrop:

[MrX]

Iowa might cover the spread before the the 1stQ is over

[MrX]

BG comes right back and scores:lol:

[MrX]

TD Rutgers

[MrX]

BG & W looks like it will be a shootout

Not good for W

[MrX]

Bowling Green is throwing screen passes in their own end zone:lol:

[Daryl]

looks like Iowa 1H should've been a bigger bet. Oh well.
Anyhoo, off to the Big House. taking a 4 year old, so we'll most likely only make it to halftime!

[Daryl]

trouble for Oklahoma?

[Daryl]

13-0
missed extra point

oops, my fault, and now it comes back to haunt them, 21-20 Wisky

[twikoff]

no risk of BG playing defense
wisconsin isnt having much trouble

[twikoff]

trouble for Oklahoma?


nawww.. Im sure they are much deeper than tcu and it will play a big factor in the 2nd half
they will still win by 3 touchdowns

[MrX]

Wisconsin takes the lead

[twikoff]

:lol:
speaking of no defense :eek:

[MrX]

TCU over OU 10-0-eek-

[twikoff]

TCU over OU 10-0-eek-

Ill predict OU wins 35-13

[Bill Geiger]

Daryl,

I am surprised that you think Georgia can beat BSU by over 7. Boise hasn't lost a game by more than 4 points in over 2-3 years.

[Bill Geiger]

Bowling Green looking good once again.

[MrX]

Rutgers up 20-7

[Bill Geiger]

Wisconsin deserves to lose this game because of those weak ass helmets that were mentioned earlier.

[twikoff]

man
bowling green really doesnt even pretend to play defense
come on.. this is wisconsin's offense.. there is no excuse in allowing them to run all over you

[Bill Geiger]

bowling green really doesnt even pretend to play defense


Just wait until they play Boise! :)

[twikoff]

Just wait until they play Boise! :)


first to 100 wins?

[Bill Geiger]

Over/Under in that game should be easily 70 (take the over of course)

[MrX]

The Badgers with 35pts in the 2ndQ, I wonder when the last time they had 35 pts in a game was?

Ok Td --- 10-7 Tcu

[Bill Geiger]

Nice fake by Bowling Green

[twikoff]

defense :eek:

[MrX]

Ohio St blowing out Miami(OH)

[Terrell]

I am surprised that you think Georgia can beat BSU by over 7. Boise hasn't lost a game by more than 4 points in over 2-3 years.

Bill, considering their schedule last two years, that's not saying much. I resepct BSU, and I expect them to be a tough opponent. But the last two years they didn't play anyone with the speed, depth, and strength of a top SEC school. They didn't play a defense like Georgia's going to show them either. Just look at BSU's schedule the last few seasons and you will see what I mean. Their toughest opponent was Louisville and they lost that game. Not to mention their defense was not that good considering the scores from last year.

Having said that, I can say all UGA fans consider this a risky game. BSU is tough. But Georgia will be the toughest opponent they've played since the beginning of last couple of years, and maybe longer than that.

[Bill Geiger]

Well, on my website for betting, BSU is getting 8.....and that is a monster. I do know BSU doesn't play the greatest on the road.....they never really have since coming into division 1. But, given that Zabransky is a second year starter and BSU has a ton of players coming back.... I can't see them losing by more than 3.....in fact, I fully expect them to win today.

[twikoff]

oklahoma is about to score the touchdown and take the lead, which will pretty much put TCU away... but Peterson hurt his ankle on the play and is down on the field



and wisconsin scores another easy touchdown

[Bill Geiger]

OK is held to a field goal :eek:

[twikoff]

OU held to the fg to tie the game up at 10

[twikoff]

is dvdtalk dragging ass for everyone else?
taking forever for pages to refresh for me

but all my other pages are loading fine
already flushed my dns

[MrX]

Illinois should see if they can sue Turner for the remainder of his contract they owe him. I'm sure Zook will catch shit from the media about how this proves UF was right to fire him but it's sad how much better athletes Rutgers has.

[The Cow]

Yay, for Ohio State :beer:

Now hurry up and get to some real games, everyone!

Auburn game should be interesting tonight. And, of course, the Miami game...

Thank god football is back!!!!

[twikoff]

and yet another touchdown for wisconsin
seems a bit too easy

[MrX]

Uh Oh, Adrian Peterson is hurt

[twikoff]

107,529 at the tennessee game

[MrX]

Illinois cuts the Rutgers lead to 7 with 8 minutes left

[twikoff]

uab touchdown
cuts the lead to 7, with just under 8 minutes to play
and tenn is #3, right?

[twikoff]

tcu touchdown
they just took a 7 point lead with 12 to play

[MrX]

The Wisconsin/BG game has the score of a Wisconsin basketball game

[MrX]

Illinois blocks a FG

They get the ball down 7 with 3:54 left

[twikoff]

tenn turns it over
uab with good field position, only down 7 :eek:

[twikoff]

uab got down to the 6, but then went backwards
now they are going to have to go on 4th down without much time left.. down 7

oklahoma just had to punt the ball away to tcu.. tcu is up 7.. but there is alot of time left

[MrX]

TD Illinois

[twikoff]

last time oklahoma lost a home opener was 1996

against tcu

[twikoff]

uab missed it in the endzone on 4th down, so tenn is going to hold on for the win

tcu is punting and oklahoma will take over around midfield

[MrX]

Rutgers has the ball with 1:13 left

[twikoff]

TCU interception!!! wow!

[wildcatlh]

INT by TCU

[twikoff]

stoops is 19-0 in september as coach of oklahoma

[twikoff]

and there it goes
oklahoma interception and a nice return

tcu just had to find a way to blow it

[MrX]

If TCU wins does that make Mack Brown the only coach in the state not to beat OU:lol:

[twikoff]

oklahoma turns it over on downs

[MrX]

Illinois going for the game winning FG

From 52 yds

[MrX]

Wide right

[devilshalo]

So do I take USC and the points? :hscratch:

Hawaii has a small defense and with no Chang or Owens, I can see them giving up the 5 TDs.

[wildcatlh]

Oklahoma turns it over... ballgame.

[MrX]

Illinois 1st & goal at the 2

TD wins the game

[MrX]

Td!!!!

[BigDaddy]

I guess the trip back to Dallas should be fun for TCU. :)

[twikoff]

my damn connection died
but anyways
:banana: go tcu!

[MrX]

Maybe Jason White did deserve that Heisman:lol:

[Big Dave]

Had to sweat my 2nd 4-team 13-pt teaser with the Bowling Green game only winning by a single point, but now 2-0 on the year. Winnings get rolled into the 3rd 4-teamer that starts in a little bit with:

Boise State +20.5
Pittsburgh +10
Baylor +11.5
UCLA +3.5

[MrX]

UM looks like they're just going to run over NIU

[twikoff]

nice coverage by colorado
made the csu punter have to eat it

[twikoff]

UM looks like they're just going to run over NIU

of course
its just NIU

its not like they are playing rutgers ;)

[The Cow]

UM looks like they're just going to run over NIU
As expected. (wish they wouldn't but reality sets in)

[MrX]

NIU should stick to running the ball

[MrX]

NIU is killing themselves

[Bill Geiger]

..sadly...I got Air Force-Washington on ABC

Don't think you covered my friend.

It's been hard to tell who ND fans are cheering harder for, the Irish or Air Force:lol:

[MrX]

Michigan's defense hasn't looked very impressive today

[Bill Geiger]

Not hiding...although I probably should be....

Here's hoping Boise can turn things around

[MrX]

I didn't even realize the UGA game had started and it's probably already over

[MrX]

Cal only up 10-3 at the half against Sacramento St

[Bill Geiger]

No....second quarter

[Bill Geiger]

Boise made a needed stop and has the ball with about 12 minutes or so left in the half.

[MrX]

Nice play there by BSU

[MrX]

Bad play there

Boise can't deal with UGA's speed on D

[MrX]

Navy up 14-3 on Maryland

[MrX]

Erin Andrews is so frickin' hot:drool:

[Bill Geiger]

Zabransky is shit tonight..... I cannot believe he is playing so badly.

If Boise loses....I will freely admit that I was wrong.

[Joe Molotov]

Maybe Jason White did deserve that Heisman:lol:

They could have used him out there today, that was some bad quarterbacking. Not that the receivers could have caught the ball anyway. 4th & 8, less than five minutes to go, you're down by 7, the ball's in your hand and you've probably got a 1st Down, and you DROP IT!!?

I think this will be what they refer to as a "rebuilding year" for OU. -ohbfrank-

(But they're still going to beat Texas... ;))

[MrX]

WTF are the Georgia fans doing the overrated chant for?

[MrX]

BSU is lucky they're only down 24 after 6 turnovers

[MrX]

Erin Andrews:"Why did you decide to sit down Zabransky"

Dan Hawkins:"Did you watch the first half"rotfl

[devilshalo]

There's one TD for USC. :lol:

[MrX]

Texas drove the length of the field then fumbled it away

[MrX]

TD Texas

[MrX]

Hawaii putting a nice drive together against USC

[MrX]

And Hawaii starts to shoot themselves in the foot

[Daryl]

Maryland's killing me, but Georgia seems to have things in hand.

[Daryl]

Daryl,

I am surprised that you think Georgia can beat BSU by over 7. Boise hasn't lost a game by more than 4 points in over 2-3 years.

No real insight, it was just one of my favorite early season plays: non-Southern teams playing on the road in the South in early September. I just felt a team like Boise would struggle in early September playing in Georgia, particularly in the 2nd half. Didn't see any of the first half, so I can't comment on what actually has taken place.

[MrX]

Too much buffet, not enough gameplanning by Friedgen

[MrX]

Holy shit! What a catch

[Daryl]

Leinart 2005 TD meter: 1

[devilshalo]

Even I could have thrown that with Hawaii's defense letting him slip all the way into the endzone without any coverage. -ohbfrank-

[MrX]

Wanny can make up for all the misery he caused me as the Bears HC if he kicks the shit out of ND tonight

[MrX]

Nebraska in a scoreless tie at home with Maine in the 2nd Q

How long before they want to run Callahan out of town there?

[devilshalo]

Good god, Hawaii's offense is so damn predictable again. Hawaii did this a few years ago... Graunke is Withy-Allen (QB option) and Brennen is Chang (non-mobile passer).

[MrX]

Boise finally gets on the board

[devilshalo]

USC has 3 in the book with Bush scoring... 21 - 3

[MrX]

TD Pitt:up:

[MrX]

TD ND:down:

[Daryl]

Unreal. USC inside the 15 and this asswipe gets a personal foul pushing them back and now they miss the FG. So much for USC -20 first half.

[Bill Geiger]

Well, USC just fucked those that took them in the first half in the rear with that stupid penalty

[Bill Geiger]

Atleast I got the Texas over for the first half.

Oh.....and I admit I was wrong about Boise. I still love em and they should bounce back.

[Daryl]

Well, USC just fucked those that took them in the first half in the rear with that stupid penalty
The best part about the penalty was that he shoved him first, which the ref might have let slide, but then he throws the ball at his head just to make sure the ref calls it. I guess that's what you can expect from a team where one player beats the crap out of a teammate over a video game betting debt, and the coach brushes it off as "boys will be boys"

[MrX]

I don't know why Pitt even bothers running the ball. ND's secondary blows as much as it did last year.

[DarkestPhoenix]

The Hawkeyes with another nice victory.

With the upsets and horrible showings today, just shows how under-ranked they are.

A conspiracy, I say, so that they can get shit on come bowl allocation time.

You can't possibly be serious. Ball St. suspended 13 contributing players (8 starters) on Thursday. There are high school teams that would've been a better fight.

[MrX]

I was just about to post the same thing:lol:

[MrX]

Both of these defenses stink

[MrX]

Nice gameplan Wanny-ohbfrank-

[Daryl]

unreal TD catch by ND

[MrX]

This games just about over

I guess it doesn't matter the teams, Weis owns Wanny

[MrX]

It's probably a good thing Twikoff can't see the Auburn game right now:)

[The Cow]

Wonder if they can keep up their nice victory dance in the next coupla weeks:

Game 2: Iowa State
Game 3: Northern Iowa

Yup, quality games. :lol:

[MrX]

Have the Hawaii DB's been within 5 yds of the USC WR's on any of these TD passes?

[Daryl]

Have the Hawaii DB's been within 5 yds of the USC WR's on any of these TD passes?

even though Smith got stopped at the 5, the answer is still "no"

[MrX]

Pitt is awful

[MrX]

TD Auburn

GT leads 10-7

[MrX]

Wanny with his first"YAAAAHHHHHHHHPP" of the season

[Daryl]

Normally i would make a comment about throwing a TD on 4th and goal when you're up by 39, but since that TD puts me right on the total (66)...... f-ck 'em - Go Trojans!

[Daryl]

Whew - almost a scoreless quarter, but Hawaii scores to go over 66

[MrX]

I hope Twikoff got drunk at the baseball game:lol:

17-7 GT

[MrX]

If Pitt is one of the best teams the Big Least has to offer then the conference needs to lose their BCS bid

I was thinking the exact same thing.

miss it!
