Sucks that we're stuck with the VT game in DC. I'd much rather see Illinois/PSU.

[Daryl]

You can start to understand how they miss things like USC's Ray Maualuga stepping out of bounds on his TD return against OSU:

College Football: No HDTV For Replays
The NCAA will test it on Thursday night.
By Swanni

Washington, D.C. (September 24, 2008) -- High-Definition TV cameras. The NFL uses them for its instant replay program. But apparently they're too expensive for NCAA college football games.

The Los Angeles Times reports that this is the fourth season that the NCAA has used instant replay to determine controversial calls, but referees have had to watch the playbacks in fuzzy standard-def.

As the newspaper reports, college football fans at home can get a better view of the replay on their high-def sets than the refs.

However, the Times writes that the PAC 10 and NCAA will test high-def cameras for the first time this Thursday night in the game between USC and Oregon State. (Note: The NFL began using high-def cameras for instant replay during the 2007 season.)

"NCAA replay officials will for the first time be able to review plays in the same high resolution as the HD broadcast viewers at home," says a spokesman for XOX Replay Systems, a supplier of replay technologies.

A PAC 10 official says the HD replay systems have simply been too expensive, noting that the league spent about $100,000 per school four years ago to set up a standard-def system.

However, the Times notes that the league and NCAA could save some money by going to Costco and picking up a few HDTVs for significantly less.

[starman9000]

Sucks that we're stuck with the VT game in DC. I'd much rather see Illinois/PSU.

Same here, you'd think we would get the Big Ten game. :(

[Daryl]

BTW, in refernce to this week's thread title, Clausen cut his hair this week - he's back to the brillo-pad buzz cut.

[Quake1028]

She's still real purty.

[RayChuang]

Alas, for Saturday, there's only one game worth watching: Alabama at Georgia at 7:45 pm EDT on ESPN/ESPN-HD.

[Sorraffy]

USC currently losing 14-0 with 5:45 left until the half

[bigsoos]

And they fumble, again!

[Sorraffy]

And they fumble, again!

and then allows the touchdown!

[Excelesor]

Wow, 21-0.... Should just batted that ball down instead of going for the INT.

They better make some crazy adjustments during halftime

[Daryl]

This Oregon State team looked like a high school team against Stanford and Penn St., now they are moving the ball at will and shutting out USC. Un-be-lie-vable

[Sorraffy]

well they got a TD on their opening drive

Oregon State needs to respond with some type of points in order to keep the pressure on

[Snowmaker]

USC is coming back.


... or maybe not.

[Quake1028]

Alas, for Saturday, there's only one game worth watching: Alabama at Georgia at 7:45 pm EDT on ESPN/ESPN-HD.

Utter nonsense.

UNC at Miami
Maryland at Clemson
Purdue at Notre Dame
Tennessee at Auburn
Colorado vs. Florida $tate
TCU at Oklahoma
USF at NC State
Illinois at Penn State
Virginia Tech at Nebraska

All games worth watching.

[Excelesor]

Gawd, McKnight.... Playing like a dud tonight. Shoot just give the ball to Johnson and Gable the rest of the night

[B.A.]

Where is USC's running game?

[Excelesor]

Wow... Can't believe that USC lost...

[The Cow]

Wow, impressive game by Oregon State.

The wrong OSU won, though :(

[Excelesor]

Looks like USC will be at the Rose Bowl again... Funny if its a against Ohio State

[Daryl]

I guess after the BCS title game in January we'll again have to suffer through Chris Fowler's now-annual crying about how USC could beat either of the two teams in the final game and that the system is broken because SC wasn't in the title game :lol:

[twikoff]

:lol:

:wave: usc

[atlantamoi]

Wow, I didn't even know this game was on last night. Woke up to see the score and was schocked. I thought USC was set for the entire season.

[DGibFen]

Ah yes, the annual USC meltdown. Happened earlier this year!

[chuckd21]

USC's strategy of spotting the other team 3-4 touchdowns then only playing one half of football backfires. rotfl

[Red Dog]

So USC lost? Wow. I came very close to taking them and giving a ton of points. Didn't do it and then I totally forgot the game was on since it started later than normal Thursday night games.



Alas, for Saturday, there's only one game worth watching: Alabama at Georgia at 7:45 pm EDT on ESPN/ESPN-HD.

I'm interested in the TCU/OU game, but since PSU/Ill is unavailable locally, without betting interests, I agree - there ain't much there besides Bama/UGA.

[starman9000]

I'm interested in the TCU/OU game, but since PSU/Ill is unavailable locally, without betting interests, I agree - there ain't much there besides Bama/UGA.

You don't think the Gopher's stomping on OSU is a big deal? :) (I need to get my cockiness in today, while they are still undefeated...though OSU got killed by USC and USC got beat by Oregon State, maybe there is hope!)

[Quake1028]

I guess after the BCS title game in January we'll again have to suffer through Chris Fowler's now-annual crying about how USC could beat either of the two teams in the final game and that the system is broken because SC wasn't in the title game :lol:

:lol:. Although, I woudln't count them out yet. They probably run the table from here and take advantage of the SEC and Big 12 teams beating up on each other to sneak into the title game.

[hail2dking]

Wow, impressive game by Oregon State.

The wrong OSU won, though :(

Well, I'd say the REAL OSU won ;)

Fun game to be at, brought my USC buddy with me...he was dogged all night:)

[twikoff]

the trash talking is always most fun when it comes from a team that lost to penn state and stanford ;)

[Red Dog]

UConn is 5-0. rotfl

[Snowmaker]

Its going to be a LONG day today. I'm off to the Michigan /Wisconsin game. Tailgating by 9:30, kickoff at 3:30.

[starman9000]

Happy Golden Gopher day! 42-31 Gophs!

[Red Dog]

This sucks. The local ACC-Raycom affiliate is down on DirecTV, so no Maryland game for me for now.

[Red Dog]

The Gophs better score 42. They're going to need all those points. :lol:

[starman9000]

Yeah, looks like OSU could run for about 900 today :lol:

Decker is going to have to catch for about 500.

[starman9000]

LOL at Glen Mason pretending like he's conflicted about this game. I'm sure he still loves MN.

[starman9000]

Gopher's defense really hunkered down after that first drive. Weber needs to get going more for them to stay in it though.

[Red Dog]

I have no idea why OSU even bothers to pass.

[The Cow]

I have no idea why OSU even bothers to pass.

Gotta give the kid "some" practice. Gonna need it next week.

[starman9000]

I have no idea why OSU even bothers to pass.

The QB should be running it every time.

[Red Dog]

This sucks. The local ACC-Raycom affiliate is down on DirecTV, so no Maryland game for me for now.

Good. Channel restored. Maryland kicks a FG after a TD called back on a false start and a dropped pass in the end zone.

[starman9000]

Damn.

[twikoff]

ole miss should considering having someone cover harvin

[brizz]

BTW, in refernce to this week's thread title, Clausen cut his hair this week - he's back to the brillo-pad buzz cut.

[Red Dog]

New Dookie mascot outfit = lame.

[Quake1028]

Maryland takes the lead on Clemson.

Ole Miss ties Florida.

Robert Marve throws an awful pass to give UNC life.

[MrX]

:lol: @ IU

Back in their own endzone they throw a 97 yard TD pass, only it's called back on holding which took place in the endzone so it's a safety

[Quake1028]

UNC misses a 53 yard field goal. Should have punted.

[FantasticVSDoom]

Damn, horrible penalty taking away a great TD pass away from Indiana...

[Quake1028]

:lol: @ IU

Back in their own endzone they throw a 97 yard TD pass, only it's called back on holding which took place in the endzone so it's a safety

Ouch.

[Quake1028]

Graig Cooper is a really good back but he needs to learn that a 3 yard gain is much better than backtracking and losing 4 yards.

[Quake1028]

Miami gets the punt partially blocked. Jesus Christ this game should be over.

[Quake1028]

Miami is going to lose this game because they can't tackle properly and penalties are killing them again.

[twikoff]

touchdown ole miss!!!
they now lead by 7

[twikoff]

ole miss has outscored florida 17-0 in the 3rd qtr

[Canadian Bacon]

Florida is obviously looking ahead to next week

[Quake1028]

That ball was uncatchable.

[Quake1028]

Typical fucking BULLSHIT call against Miami.

[twikoff]

Florida is obviously looking ahead to next week

:lol: rotfl to arkansas? :lol:

[Quake1028]

Such fucking bullshit. Nice gift from the refs.

[Red Dog]

Gophers backdoor cover on a prayer 4th down pass TD with a minute left...+19.5 pays. :banana:

Makes up for my terrible UVA +7 bet. I only bet that because I couldn't imagine Duke being favored by 7 over anyone. :down:

[Canadian Bacon]

:lol: rotfl to arkansas? :lol:

:mad:
You need to pick up my sarcasm

[twikoff]

:mad:
You need to pick up my sarcasm
i did.. but couldnt resist ;)

[Quake1028]

Holy fuck my heart cannot take this :(.

[Red Dog]

How about a live look-in on the SEC game, ESPNEWS, instead of the games everyone can get?

[Red Dog]

What a money time-churning drive by the Terps to seal the win. Great 2nd half - nice come-behind road win at Clemson. :thumbsup:

[Quake1028]

Motherfucker. Thanks a lot, defense, refs. Bleh.

[Red Dog]

Oh man he had it. Close those hands. :lol:

[twikoff]

tebow with his 2nd rushing touchdown of the game (and season).. florida ties it back up

[FantasticVSDoom]

Holy shit... Miami had the win in their hand and the safety took it right away. What a lucky interception.

[Quake1028]

The ball hits you in both hands in the back of the endzone with the game on the line, you have to make that catch.

[Canadian Bacon]

wow look how fast Miami fans cleared out of there ;)
on second thought it's not hard to clear out less fans than the Marlins get for home games -wink-

[Quake1028]

That stadium is awful. I cannot see how a football program that elite cannot get a stadium on campus or close like all of the other big schools have. Dolphins stadium is as bad as Tropicana Field.

[Canadian Bacon]

gotta be better than the Orange Bowl ;)
but you're right the U does need an on campus facility

[Red Dog]

It ain't an elite program anymore. ;) The 90s would have been the time to build it.

[FantasticVSDoom]

Hell, even UCF has a nice on campus stadium now, and they are more of a commuter school than Miami is...

[Quake1028]

It ain't an elite program anymore. ;) The 90s would have been the time to build it.

I'm sorry, did your school win 2 National Titles this decade?


;)

[Quake1028]

Exactly.

[Quake1028]

gotta be better than the Orange Bowl ;)
but you're right the U does need an on campus facility

At least the Orange Bowl had some Hurricane history, and wasn't part baseball field. I hate those types of stadiums.

[Red Dog]

I'm sorry, did your school win 2 National Titles this decade?


;)


Bucknell? No. But we did beat Miami in the first Orange Bowl and our athletes go to class and graduate, so :p

Seriously - Miami in no way can be considered an elite program now. Hell, their basketball team has performed better since entering the ACC.

[twikoff]

florida punts with 7 to play.. tie game
ole miss ball now

[twikoff]

holy shit!
wide open pass
85 yard touchdown for ole miss!!!

[Quake1028]

Bucknell? No. But we did beat Miami in the first Orange Bowl, so :p

Seriously - Miami in no way can be considered an elite program now. Hell, their basketball team has performed better since entering the ACC.

They aren't top of the nation elite at this moment, but they have been elite long enough that they should have their own stadium on campus, and not have to play in a stadium with no college atmosphere. They have won a National Title this decade and they have had some huge recruiting classes lately, so this isn't Duke or someone we are talking about. They have had one awful year and one average, and it just goes to show how good they were that seasons like 9-3 are considered failures.

Touchdown Ole Miss rotfl

[Red Dog]

Keep the updates coming.

That's why I said the time to build was when they were elite and the alums may have ponied up. Now it will be tough to do, unless you have a T. Boone Pickens ready to donate $200M or something.

[Quake1028]

That's the problem I have always heard is money. Apparently for whatever reason the school is one of the worst in the country among elite programs in terms of financial support, and has always been that way. Hell, you would think with all of those multi-zillionaire alums they would be loaded, but sadly they aren't. I just don't think they can afford a stadium.

[Red Dog]

Finally we get the live look-in on ESPNEWS.

[Quake1028]

Gators driving. Percy Harvin is pretty good I think.

[Quake1028]

That was way too easy. TD Harvin. Lots of time left.

[Red Dog]

Great blocking.

[Quake1028]

Blocked XP!!

[FantasticVSDoom]

Damn nyc coverage... So we get Michigan-Wisconsin on both ESPN and ABC? Being a football fan sucks here :mad:

[Red Dog]

Wow. Really? ESPNEWS cut off after that. :lol:

[Red Dog]

Damn nyc coverage... So we get Michigan-Wisconsin on both ESPN and ABC? Being a football fan sucks here :mad:

You shouldn't. If you're on DirecTV, the alternate game is on 210

[twikoff]

dammit! i flipped over to the auburn game
and i see florida put up 6
dont know if they tried for 2 and failed.. or missed the extra point
but they are down 31-30 with 2:27 to play.. ole miss ball

[twikoff]

ah.. now i see the posts above.. blocked extra point
wow! i missed it :(

[Quake1028]

Do you have me on block? ;)

[FantasticVSDoom]

You shouldn't. If you're on DirecTV, the alternate game is on 210

No DirecTV in my building... Just good ol' useless TWC.

[Red Dog]

No DirecTV in my building... Just good ol' useless TWC.

Well, you're supposed to get CU/FSU on your ESPN, so ESPN is screwing you over. And make sure you are checking your SD ESPN channel. It won't be on ESPNHD.

[twikoff]

florida quickly to the ole miss 42
with 1:24 to play
edging closer to winning fg range

[Quake1028]

UF is going to have a 48 yarder coming up. Wow.

[twikoff]

florida just short of the first down, near the 31.. 4th down
thats going to be a long fg if they try it

measuring now

[twikoff]

UF is going to have a 48 yarder coming up. Wow.

4th and less than a yard.. never know..
thats a tebow up the middle situation

[Quake1028]

How can you pass up a field goal attempt here? You get stopped and the game is over.

[Red Dog]

Because there is still a minute left, it's 4th and a couple inches, you have Tebow, and it's a long FG, particularly for college.

[twikoff]

48 yarder is a stretch with their kicker
less than a yard should be a sure thing for tebow

[Quake1028]

Man a measurement and a review, UF got a free time out plus some there. This is going to be like 4th and 3 or 4. You have to kick the FG here, don't you?

[twikoff]

officials reviewing the spot
they will lose some yardage.. it was a generous spot

[Quake1028]

4th and almost 2. Ballgame here.

[Quake1028]

Stuffed!!!!

[twikoff]

Man a measurement and a review, UF got a free time out plus some there. This is going to be like 4th and 3 or 4. You have to kick the FG here, don't you?

49 yard?
no chance.. if they lose, they want it to be on the failed 4th down attempt
not on the missed 49 yard fg

ole miss wins!

[Quake1028]

No WAY on earth he got that.

[FantasticVSDoom]

Well, you're supposed to get CU/FSU on your ESPN, so ESPN is screwing you over. And make sure you are checking your SD ESPN channel. It won't be on ESPNHD.

Awww... Good call. Didn't even think about that. I guess thats OK, this way I don't have to watch FSU fuck shit up in HD.

[twikoff]

:lol:
he wasnt even close

[Red Dog]

Now that was horrible. Do they ever line up Tebow under center?

[Quake1028]

Wow, what a fucking upset. Now my Florida fan friends cannot talk ANY shit tonight because of the UM loss. I still think you have to kick the FG there, probably.

[twikoff]

i dont think they had much chance of making the fg there.. urban probably agreed

[Excelesor]

HAHAHAHAHA, man that was hilarious. All the Gators calling USC overrated and WTF do they do? Go out and lose, no more #1 ranking ahhaha

[twikoff]

if it wasnt official before.. tebow is now out of the heisman race

[twikoff]

HAHAHAHAHA, man that was hilarious. All the Gators calling USC overrated and WTF do they do? Go out and lose, no more #1 ranking ahhaha

florida wasnt going to be #1.. and even with their loss.. usc was still overrated.. just florida is too ;)

[Red Dog]

i dont think they had much chance of making the fg there.. urban probably agreed

Yeah. I think your chances are better going for the 1st and then getting a few more yards on the next few downs.

[Quake1028]

So, with this loss and another top 10 team that will go down tonight, USC is 2 teams closer to getting right back in the chase, at least to be the best team not in the national title game for the 42nd straight year according to Chris Fowler.

[Quake1028]

Watching the replay of the 2000 UM-F$U game is painful because we beat them that year and should have gotten the crack over them to play Oklahoma for the title.

[Excelesor]

I'm down for another upset this week of CFB. Lets keep our fingers crossed for Alabama and TCU. They would make this weekend epic

[Quake1028]

SHOULD be good for the first down, Vern? He was 5 yard past the fucking marker.

[twikoff]

i could see the bama one.. but i dunno about tcu

[FantasticVSDoom]

3 and 12 and they run the option? Yeah, I can see why Fisher is already the next head coach. He's clearly a genius.

[Quake1028]

Michigan :lol:

[Red Dog]

They'll overturn that.

[FantasticVSDoom]

Fucking Ponder... He may be the future, but he's pretty damn terrible right now.

[Quake1028]

Michigan :lol:

[Red Dog]

Michigan is lucky they keep fumbling near the sideline. That one will be overturned too.

[starman9000]

Even though they got beat bad, at least the Gopher's looked a bit like a real team today, their defense did what I thought they would, but Weber was a let down.

[Quake1028]

Michigan is lucky they keep fumbling near the sideline. That one will be overturned too.

It wasn't, was it?

[Quake1028]

Stacey Dales :eyebrow:.

[Quake1028]

Michigan :lol:

[Red Dog]

That one wasn't near the sideline.

No the last one wasn't overturned, and Stacey Dales is saucy.

[Spicollidriver1]

Even though they got beat bad, at least the Gopher's looked a bit like a real team today, their defense did what I thought they would, but Weber was a let down.

Some signs of life at the end of the game was nice to see also

[atlantamoi]

Auburn, leave Kodi Burns in as QB! For the simple reason he's fun to watch.

[starman9000]

Some signs of life at the end of the game was nice to see also

Yeah, though I never put too much stock in garbage time stats. Weber had the chance to hit Decker early ink the game to keep in competitive, but didn't get it done.

[Red Dog]

Wake is a giveaway machine today.

[Red Dog]

Some signs of life at the end of the game was nice to see also

Indeed it wa$. ;)

[Quake1028]

Navy 17
Wake 0

Pretty shocking, considering Navy has only looked so-so this year.

[Quake1028]

Notre Dame ties Purdue. Best game going on right now.

[Red Dog]

Wake is a giveaway machine today.

Navy 17
Wake 0

Pretty shocking, considering Navy has only looked so-so this year.


4 to be specific. Wake can't stop the Navy running game.

I came close to betting Navy and the points. They played well last week and I figured Wake would have a big letdown after FSU.

[silentbob007]

Notre Dame ties Purdue. Best game going on right now.

It may be close, but man is it painful to watch.

[Red Dog]

4 to be specific. Wake can't stop the Navy running game.


Make that 5 in the first half. rotfl

[Quake1028]

Yeah saw your post, but 4 turnovers is awful. Worse than Michigan even ;).

[Bill Geiger]

I only have one bet going today so far...4 team parlay. Hopeful that my fourth team pulls it off. The 3 that have won so far are:

CF 15 9/27 MICHIGAN ST AT INDIANA MICHIGAN ST -7.5 (+6.0) (W)
CF 27 9/27 NORTHERN ILL AT EASTERN MICHIGAN NORTHERN ILL -5.5 (+6.0) (W)
CF 65 9/27 KENT AT BALL ST BALL ST -21.5 (+6.0) (W)

[Canadian Bacon]

Geez why oh why did Arkansas not schedule Meechigan we'd be winning right now ;)

[twikoff]

Auburn, leave Kodi Burns in as QB! For the simple reason he's fun to watch.

my only problem with that, is that he seems to be using first contact to tell him its about time to throw the ball
so if they can bring him down with first contact, we are going to have alot of punting on 4th and long

[Red Dog]

Navy fumbles the 2nd half KO and Wake scores on their 2nd play. 17-7.

[MrX]

Michigan fans giving their offense a standing ovation for getting a 1st down:lol:

[Quake1028]

I know it's fun to diss them, but Notre Dame is pretty good at times and they probably aren't far away from being a good team.

yeah and Charlie Weis isn't far from being in shape ;)

[twikoff]

it just happens that the shape is an oval

[silentbob007]

I'm not sure that scoring on Purdue counts for a whole lot ....

[Red Dog]

And the Badgers let Michigan right back into the ballgame. If they don't get something on offense this drive, their defense is looking pretty tired.

[twikoff]

tony franklin needs to join the ranks of the unemployed
who in the hell comes in, destroys a run team, sets up for a spread offense
and then tries to run the majority of the time behind a spread offense without blockers

this season has to be some of the worst play calling i have ever seen in my life

[Red Dog]

And just like that Michigan takes the lead on the tip-pick 6.

[Red Dog]

Yep. It looks like Wisconsin started thinking about the Buckeyes about mid-way through the 3rd quarter.

[Red Dog]

And a 3 and out for Wisconsin. Bad news for their D.

[Red Dog]

Another Michigan TD. I've seen few 2nd half collapses that rival this Wisconsin one.

[MrX]

5 words you don't want to hear

"It's up to Allan Evridge"

[Red Dog]

He's awful.

[ernestrp]

Michigan is rolling!!!

:bdance:

[twikoff]

thank god for the defense
good enough to overcome the mess of an offense that franklin calls
14-12 win over tennessee

wheew

[Canadian Bacon]

[atlantamoi]

Auburn - the kings of the ugly win

[Canadian Bacon]

I wouldn't sleep on Vandy
the game in 2 weeks will be ugly :(

[The Cow]

:lol: Like the announcer alluded to..


Nice high scoring blowout by Auburn today (comparing to Miss St game)! :lol:

[twikoff]

here comes wisconsin :eek:

[Bill Geiger]

56-20 Rice over North Texas at the HALF!

[twikoff]

touchdown wisconsin
here comes the 2pt conversion

[twikoff]

and its good.. but a flag on the play!

[The Cow]

wow -eek-

(err.. flag)

[twikoff]

ineligible receiver
5 yard penalty..
retry the conversion....

and its out of the endzone

michigan wins!!!

[Red Dog]

Of course they tease me with the late TD, deuce, penalty, then no deuce. What a bunch of assholes.

[twikoff]

(well.. assuming nothing strange on an onside kick and hail mary)

[Red Dog]

Navy upsets Wake. Good for them. Bad for the ACC. :lol:

[twikoff]

wow.. nice heads up play by the michigan big men to dodge and let that one go out of bounds

[Daryl]

I ain't gonna lie - the only reason I didn't post earlier is because I couldn't find a smilie with a paper bag over it's head. Seriously. Holy shit.

[twikoff]

oklahoma with the big touchdown called back :lol:

[Bill Geiger]

woohoo...won my 4 team parlay with Fresno State!

[twikoff]

but came back with another one quick enough
tcu is toast

[twikoff]

nice kick return by tcu though!
all the way back to the 10.. almost a return for a td

[Bill Geiger]

TCU/OK game is supposed to be on in HD but they are having the Phillies post game celebration.

[twikoff]

TCU/OK game is supposed to be on in HD but they are having the Phillies post game celebration.

i actually have TCU/OKLAHOMA on 3 channels here
2 HD and 1 SD
one of the HD channels is currently being blacked out.. but the other one is showing the game.. so i have it in both HD and SD

[Bill Geiger]

Yeah, I went to the SD coverage of the game since the Phillies coverage is going until 10pm..crazy!

[Bill Geiger]

Oklahoma looks unstoppable. Ain't no upset gonna happen in this game.

[MrX]

I ain't gonna lie - the only reason I didn't post earlier is because I couldn't find a smilie with a paper bag over it's head. Seriously. Holy shit.

For the future

[twikoff]

interesting strategy by uga to start out in a prevent defense

Ive seen less cushion at bed bath and beyond

[Bill Geiger]

21-3 Oklahoma

[Bill Geiger]

3rd QTR, 3:07
North Texas 20
Rice 77

[twikoff]

bama coughs it up around the 5 yard line
but flag on the play

roughing the passer

WOW! thats HUGE.. instead of the turnover.. its half the distance to the goal and first down

[twikoff]

and touchdown bama
uga down 7-0

[Canadian Bacon]

and touchdown bama
uga down 7-0

and there's much celebrating in the wikoff household

[twikoff]

and there's much celebrating in the wikoff household

as much as a hate bama, my dad is a poser uga fan
so really... i wish both teams could figure out a way to lose this one ;)

[Bill Geiger]

Is it pronounced: (Why-cough)? If so, I can only assume most think it is (wick-off)

[twikoff]

yes, and yes
pretty good :up:

[Bill Geiger]

I had been meaning to ask you that for years. :lol: How pathetic is that?

[Daryl]

:lol: I've just mentally been "pronouncing" it wrong this whole time

[Bill Geiger]

3rd QTR, 12:54
Colorado State 0
California 28

[Bill Geiger]

Well, why do you think people, in polls, say twikoff (Twik-off)? Because it sounds funny.

Glad I am only one of a handful of the smart ones here in the sports forum. :)

[Bill Geiger]

Yippie...also got the Oregon game. :down:

[Bill Geiger]

Jesus, Washington State is terrible. Huge kickoff return for Oregon. They can't tackle for shit.

[twikoff]

:lol:
Ive just always been use to it being mispronounced..
and with the T in front.. it makes it odd to pronounce the rest correctly

[Bill Geiger]

2nd QTR, 2:45
Troy 7
Oklahoma State 28

[twikoff]

bama settles for the short fg this time
uga is in trouble
not only is bama doing pretty much whatever they want.. but the uga guys are committing person fouls on every other play, and fighting with each other

[twikoff]

2nd QTR, 2:45
Troy 7
Oklahoma State 28

some more wikoff trivia, as long as we are on the subject ;)
while both corrie and i graduated from auburn
corrie got her mba from troy
and... and went to u of minnesota for the first couple years of college

[twikoff]

Yippie...also got the Oregon game. :down:


back and forth between uga/bama and lsu/miss state here
i dont need oklahoma/tcu in my rotation, obviously.

[MrX]

TD Illinois:banana:

[The Cow]

Illini coming out strong :up:

[chuckd21]

Great, UGA is already panicking. Goddamnit Georgia...

[MrX]

Love the shot overhead with JoePa wandering aimlessly while the other coaches talk to the offense:lol:

[twikoff]

crap.. i walked away for a minute and missed it
what happened that bama already has the ball inside the uga 5 again

[twikoff]

touchdown bama. 17-0
this isnt even a game

[twikoff]

and miss state attempts a goal line stand.. but lsu finally punches it in on 4th and inches

17-3 here

these could be 2 blowouts :(

[MrX]

TD Penn st :sad:

[twikoff]

uga players keep heading off with injuries too

one thing i noticed.. all the uga players i have seen highlighted so far have a major of "housing"

what the hell is that? :lol:

[The Cow]

Do the Penn St fans always chant that damn White Stripes song (Seven Nation Army) after every play?

That's annoying as hell, I hate that song. I'd rather hear Rocky Top played the entire game than this. :(

[twikoff]

:lol:
the uga player fumbles the ball directly into the bama defenders hand
almost looked like a pitch play

this one is going to get ugly rotfl

[chuckd21]

uga players keep heading off with injuries too

one thing i noticed.. all the uga players i have seen highlighted so far have a major of "housing"

what the hell is that? :lol:

It's 50% housing, 50% sports management.

Fucking hell, UGA. Glad you were more concerned about your uniforms than, you know, actually playing football.

[twikoff]

and the bama back walks into the endzone there

24-0 now

[MrX]

TD Illinois:banana:

[The Cow]

TD Illinois:banana:

That was a helluva catch, but I'm surprised they overturned the call.

[MrX]

That was a helluva catch, but I'm surprised they overturned the call.

It wasn't against Ohio St or Michigan so officials are allowed

[The Cow]

Two good reviews by the officials so far. :up: to the refs.

[The Cow]

Penn State ties it back up 14-14. Almost the end of the 1st Quarter.

The defense for either team has yet to come out of the locker room.

[twikoff]

and another bama touchdown
now up 31-0 in the first half :lol:

[FantasticVSDoom]

Georgia :lol:

[Red Dog]

This is quite an ass-kicking.

[twikoff]

3 'NC Contenders' going down this weekend :up:

[Daryl]

Apparently, Saban brought a hot poker with him to ram straight up Georgia's ass. This is unreal.

[twikoff]

and the half ends with a long pass stafford tried to sling up a long pass towards the endzone.. and just threw it up for grabs

[Daryl]

to steal a pic from mgoblog:

[Bill Geiger]

Anyone remember Gators-Vols game from the early to mid-90's, Gators were down huge to the Vols and came back second half.

Yeah, that won't happen today with Georgia.

[TruGator]

1995, UF down big, came back and put up 62.

Ahh, the memories. Today still sucks tho.

[Bill Geiger]

Yes!!! Another win for me. Thank you Cal! Second half over 27 pays!

I was living in Gainesville at the time. The rain was insane that day!

[chuckd21]

With the new clock rules, there's not even enough time for a comeback. UGA would have to intercept Alabama on every first down and return each for a touchdown to even come close to catching up.

[Daryl]

Yes!!! Another win for me. Thank you Cal! Second half over 27 pays!

haha - you had to retype yOUR eNTIRE pOST ;)

[MrX]

The Illinois defense is back to being awful

[Daryl]

refs are reviewing a play after another play was run in Happy Valley.

[Snowmaker]

fumble!

What a game to be at!
