K that looked like it hurt I wouldn't be surprised if he neve rwalks again. And it was nice to see my Wolverines put a beating on the Irish on Saturday and improve to 3-0 for the year.

 

Well, that guy is playing in the NFL again.

 

However, I still think the one that I posted is the worst football injury I've ever seen.

Anyone know why Ohio State calls itself THE Ohio State? Its been buggin me

 

It's just how the school has officially always referred to itself. It's not a name that was taken on by some players and it just kind of stuck -- it's just always been that way. This is the universities official logo (i think it's the official logo, anyways, it's a school logo, regardless)...

I think it's awesome like that. However, I hate how if you watch players introduce themselves on Sunday Night Football or whatever, all sorts of players are using the "THE" when they say their school.

Oklahoma is considering cancelling their game at Washington in 2008 if the Pac 10 doesn't change their rule about Pac 10 refs officiating non-conference homes games.

 

Where does everybody stand on the issue?

[schillingouttheks]

I think Oklahoma needs to let it go, and get on with their season, though I do feel sorry for them. Their season was single-handedly ruined by an abomination of a referee crew even after they watched the replays! And then they got the pass interference call wrong! I know that you can say that Oklahoma didn't get the job done, especially since they were still winning even when the bad calls were made, but that can only go so far.

 

That being said, they have a right to have that gripe and to want those officials out of a job, but to cancel their games against Pac-10 opponents is just nonsense.

Yeah, I don't buy the argument that Oklahoma still could've won and that junk. They got screwed, plain and simple. They were put in a position they shouldn't have been and 3 missed calls screwed them over. First being the fact that Oregon touched the ball before ten yards, second being that Oregon didn't even recover, and third being the pass interference call.

 

OU has taken a strong stand here, and I'm all for them keeping with it. Screw the Pac-10!

[Mr Crunchy]

i remember a big 8 crew gave nebraska 5 downs on the last drive of the game against missouri or was it colorado maybe 8-10 years ago??

it saved nebraskas season and i think they won the national championship that year

 

theres really no excuse with the replays we now have from 500 different angles

admit you f***ed up and make the correct call

i dont know whats so hard about this concept for the refs to adbide by

[See Red]

It was Colorado. Colorado went on to win the game on that play, I think the final play of the game and yeah, they went on to win the National Championship. The CU coach, Bill McCartney, went on to 'excuse' the play suggesting that Missouri's field was too slick or something like that.

[Mr Crunchy]

thats right

wasnt cordell the pickle smoocher their qb and all around good guy michael westbrook their split end??

how bad is virginia by the way?

getting 16.5 against g tech then losing 24-7??

pitiful effort by al groh and crew

[See Red]

Nah, that was a few years later. The QB's were something Hagen and the backup was Charles Johnson. The fifth down and National Championship were in 1990, I think Kordell Stewart came along the next year. The Hail Mary against Michigan happened in '94 or '95.

 

And that Virginia offense is terrible. They're lucky they kept it within 17.

[schillingouttheks]

Speaking of Colorado, they almost upset #9 Georgia today, who scored in the final minute to take a 14-13 lead, which was the final score.

 

BC and NC State are duking it out, BC's winning 6-0 on a Gonzalez TD reception and a missed PAT.

 

Michigan State is winning 7-0 over Notre Dame.

You forgot the mention that Vanderbilt is beating Tennessee State 10-3. Geez!

Go Duke

Arizona's playing USC pretty tough, and Michigan St. is busting up what remained of the ND hype.

[schillingouttheks]

Notre Dame comes back and wins 40-37. Wow.

[BoSox34]

Hell yeah, ND comes back with three TD's in the 4th, however next week haters like u will still be doubting.

You don't think it's reasonable to doubt ND as a championship team?

[schillingouttheks]

Notre Dame won that game because of poor coaching decisions on MSU's part. They didn't run at the right times, they didn't pass vertically (more horizontally), and they should have run more often than they did. They were running all over ND and decided to air it out a few times, horizontally I might add, and that never worked. On top of that, the last 3 possessions for MSU were all turnovers. MSU let ND get back in that game. ND didn't get back into it themselves. Also, there were quite a few muffed up plays where some people just didn't know what they were doing on MSU's side.

 

I'm personally feeling a Auburn/Michigan national title game. OSU wasn't impressive against PSU, and I also think Michigan will just flat out beat OSU to get into the national title game against the other undefeated team, Auburn, who I feel will beat both Florida and Georgia down the stretch.

I actually kind of like ND.

 

Hater? For saying they were hyped? Try and deny there was a lot of hype about them this year, you'll be ridiculed as insanely naive.

 

It was a nice comeback win. Their offense, when on, looks like it can score on anyone, but it's not consistent. Their defense is about as stout as wet tissue paper right now.

[See Red]

Huge Notre Dame fan here...

 

Definetely overhyped. That said, I got to watch the fourth quarter while I should have been working... amazing game. I was on #20's (still don't care to know his name) ass hard last week for looking lost against Michigan -- but he had the game winning INT TD and the impressive INT that sealed the deal.

[BoSox34]

Notre Dame won that became because of poor coaching decisions on MSU's part.

It was late. I meant "game."

[Mr Crunchy]

the irish are a top 15 team...if their d gells they may make the top 8

their defense is absolutley horrid and without sounding like a bigot its hard to be championship material with white skill players.

quinn is a good qb but i think the more athletic teams beat their asses.

 

bc's loss saturday was about the worst ive ever seen in my life and as inexcusable as it gets

[Mr Crunchy]

as inexcusable as that nc state game was

last nites effort and venue at the heights may have been the best ive seen since they beat the irish in 94

completer and utter domination of a va tech team that didnt come prepared

now

instead of being 6-0,in 1st in the acc and in the top 10

theyre 5-1,in 3rd in the acc and barely cracking the top 25 because of the hail mary that beat them in raleigh...

every year they lose to a s*** team that kills them

[yankeessuck013]

Did anybody see the highlights of the Miami brawl yet?

 

Its a pretty good one as far as football brawls go.

 

I'm surprised B.Merriweather was going around stomping on FI players during the thing. He is supposed to be a team leader w/ good character. He also had a shot at being a top 20 pick in the NFL draft.

How about the moron that was swinging his helmet around?

[Papelbon58]

wow, my hokies may suck, but at least we aren't doing that

[See Red]

Miami - 20

Duke - 15

 

5:23 left, Duke ball and they've got momentum.

 

Would losing this game be more or less embarassing than what transpired against FIU?

[Sox Fan on Cape]

BC wins 24-19. I'm happy.
