Now you know what it is like being a UConn fan.

 

 

UConn is not on national TV, every week, exposing their ineptitude.

 

[moonslav59]

Breaking News for Notre Dame! Buchner out for rest of year after having shoulder surgery. Sounds like a A Red Sox season to me.

 

I doubt they have a Joe Montana listed 3rd on their depth chart, this year- like they did in '77.

This is going to be a long long season.

My season has boiled down to rooting for whoever is facing Alabama and Ohio St.

Agree on Alabama, but not on Ohio State. I never liked Michigan, so I always rooted for OSU.

Woody Hayes was a big dick. For me, it goes back that far.

ND can’t beat OSU, but they had many, many battles with Michigan, and I didn’t like BO.Agree on Woody though.

It seems like ND beat Michigan more than they lost, so maybe that's why I don't really dislike them, and hey, The Wolverines is one of the coolest names for a team, right?

Good name.

Idaho Vandals. Best name in college sports…

I'm sticking with Wolverines.

 

Their logo could use a make-over.

[Old Red]

Finally a win for ND! I don’t know how many more they will get though.

[moonslav59]

My sleeper pick, this year is Kentucky.

Pyne shook off the jitters to have a pretty solid second half. Goal here is to have a viable starting QB going into next season. Buchner ain't it. Pyne might be. And if he sucks, bring along the 4 star recruit from NJ

I think that they lose at NC this week, and if Pyne doesn’t play well I agree to start bringing the Freshman along. No I don’t believe Buchner is the answer either. Big problem too is that the O Line, and the WR aren’t up to the usually strong ND standards.

O line is young. Whenever the O line is young the Irish struggle. This is a year to build. Get the O line some experience. Add some weapons. Find a QB

[Old Red]

Nice win for Notre Dame, and on the road even. When you can run the ball like they did yesterday it makes everything else easier. Of course having Mayer helps too.

[moonslav59]

My sleeper pick, this year is Kentucky.

 

They are now 4-0 and 7th or 8th ranked.

[Old Red]

Slippery Rock is also 4-0.

Did you pick them as your sleeper after going 1-0?

Been a fan for years ever since Beano Cook used to mention them back on his scoreboard show many years ago.

Being a fan and picking them as your sleeper pick are two different things.

 

I'm not a Kentucky football fan, at all. I just think they have a good enough QB to make a splash, and the rest of their team is solid.

[jacksonianmarch]

ND fell off the rails. Pyne still looks like the QB for next year, but this team looks badly in need of a new O coordinator. Predictable plays, too much pressure on the QB

Pyne may end up being okay to good, but we need great at QB.

Agree, and at this point of a pretty much lost season they might as well give Angeli some looks. Not having one of ND better O Line doesn’t help either.

I don't think we have the right QB in the system, now, although Joe Montana was the third string QB, my freshman year, and he led us to the National Champiuonship.

Totally irrelevant, but Pyne’s dad is from my hometown. I went to high school with a couple of Drew’s uncles…

The Notre Dame game today has been relegated to Peacock. Apparently, NBC prefers to televise figure skating. Oohfah !!!

[moonslav59]

The 1, 4 and 6 teams lost!

 

My domers beat #4 Clemson.

 

TN lost to GA.

 

AL lost to LSU- gotta like that!

[moonslav59]

My prediction for the next rankings:

 

1. Georgia 9-0 (@MS St, @KY, GA Tech

2. Ohio State 9-0 (IN, @MD, MI)

3. Michigan 9-0 (NEB, IL, @OH St)

4. TCU 9-0 (@TX, @Bay, IA St)

5. Tennessee 8-1 (MO, @SC, @Vandy)

6. Clemson 8-1 (Louis, MIA, SC)

7. Oregon 8-1 (WSH, Utah, @OR St)/ USC?

 

Conference Championships

Big 12: TCU v K St?

Big 10: OH St or MI v Ill?

SEC: GA v Ole Miss or AL?

Pac 10: OR, USC, UCL or UT?
