Title: College football is finally here!!!
Post by: bentrod on August 31, 2007, 08:33:28 PM
I can't say how long I've been waiting for college football to be back on.  Glad to see the Huskies kick Syracuse's @#$ tonight.  I'm a big Pac 10 guy, so I hope they run the non conference table.

Idaho's gonna get spanked!!  USC's my second favorite team behind UW, but I'm being realistic, they'll get hammered by SC again.  As long as UW beats WSU, I'll call the season a success.

That was so sweet.  I love it when the big ten gets rocked.  They have to be one of the most overrated conferences out there.

How about ND yesterday. Who would have predicted them losing 33-3  :o

It's a great day when Michigan and ND both lose on the same day.

No QB for ND.

looks like a couple more L's for ND.  Do you think Weis will be on the hot seat?  I think they should treat him like Ty.  If they don't they'll cry racism.

Weiss is a great coach I dont think he has much to worry about.

ESPN is saying he's on the "hot seat".  The majority of his wins have come compliments of Willingham's players and he has almost the same record as Willignham.  He is also projected to have at best 6 wins this year and may miss a major bowl game.

Can you get ESPN in Canada?

I think you can in Edmonton, but (correct me if I'm wrong), I don't think you can in Vancouver.  And they call themselves the "world wide leader in sports".

No ESPN here in BC :(

I noticed last time I was up there.  Definitely a bummer.  But on the other hand, it was great to have my choice of any hockey game.

ND and Michigan got spanked again.  ;D ;D   Looks like 2 coaches are on the hotseat.  Lumps, what's up with UCLA?  I thought they'd roll BYU.

The line was 7 in that game, so they covered, BYU is not that bad. I can't believe Mich lost again at home, thats great! ND needs a QB. Oregan looked strong as well. Washington 2-0 as well, so far so good.

How about South Florida's kicker missing 4 field goals, just missed one with 6 left in the 4th, tied 17-17. Could have beat Auburn, still might.
Title: Re: College football is finally here!!!
Post by: bentrod on September 09, 2007, 08:15:14 AM
I can't believe kickers are that hard to come by.  I put a 51 yarder through my sophmore year in a highschool game and a 60 yarder through in practice.  I went out the other day during soccer and could still hit 70% from 50 yards.  The majority of us could also do this.  Either soccer pays more than football (I doubt it) or the recruiters aren't that sharp. 

BTW, I'm really looking forward to the huskies game against Ohio State.  Not that I think the Huskies will win, but I don't think Ohio State has looked all that great this year.

ND down 31- 0 at half.  What a pathetic showing.  If Weis is such a masterful recruiter and coaching genius, he sure has weird ways of showing it.

Pac 10 refs suck!!  It's almost embarrasing how bad they are.
Title: Re: College football is finally here!!!
Post by: bentrod on September 15, 2007, 03:35:30 PM
Gotta say that watching the Huskies play today, I'm not impressed.  I think their playbook is as complicated as my highschool playbook. 
Title: Re: College football is finally here!!!
Post by: bbronswyk2000 on September 15, 2007, 05:40:18 PM
USC got a TD on 4 plays for 95 yards. 1st play a run of 50 yards by the FB next play a 40 yard run by the TB, than a 1 yard run, than Booty throws a TD pass on the 4th play
Title: Re: College football is finally here!!!
Post by: bentrod on September 15, 2007, 07:11:03 PM
Kind of worried me for a minute, but looks like SC's gonna keep rollin.   ;D ;D
Title: Re: College football is finally here!!!
Post by: bentrod on September 15, 2007, 07:11:52 PM
Man, the Huskies play calling looks very pedestrian.  I think that is the same play book I used in high school.  The Pac 10 refs also suck.  They should hire out.
Title: Re: College football is finally here!!!
Post by: bbronswyk2000 on September 15, 2007, 07:51:07 PM
Booty is hardly breaking a sweat since the running game is just dominating. 35-10 right now. This is why they are ranked #1 ;)

doesn't seem to be quite so much red in the stadium any more.   ;D ;D ;D

Nice! That's great. I just picked up tickets to go see UCLA and ND at the Rose Bowl next Saturday, then move back to BC on Sunday.

Hopefully UCLA gives ND a great pac 10 welcome.  Have a safe move to BC.

Thanks! How about all those upsets yesterday?
Title: Re: College football is finally here!!!
Post by: bentrod on September 30, 2007, 09:06:07 PM
Love those upsets.  If Locker from UW knew how to throw a pass, there would have been one more upset.  Seeing USC in person yesterday blew me away.  Either the UW is a lot faster than I thought, or USC played one of their worst games ever.

I think Locker will be a great passer next year, just needs some time to adjust. When he does, watch out. Look at Tebow last year with Florida, all he did was go in and run the ball. This year he has made the transition to being a pretty good pass QB. They both are very similar styled QB's, fast, strong and big.

Watch out next year!

What's going on with the Pac 10?  Can the Trojans and Bruins play any worse? 
Title: Re: College football is finally here!!!
Post by: bbronswyk2000 on October 06, 2007, 08:31:47 PM
Their goes Booty's chances of a Heisman. Stanford put up 17 points in the 4th quarter to squeek out the win. Booty played terrible the worst I have seen him play. The running game was not as good either.
Title: Re: College football is finally here!!!
Post by: bentrod on October 07, 2007, 07:35:21 AM
After seeing them play last week, I didn't think they could play any worse.  Guess I was wrong.  Looks like I'll start cheering for Cal.  I wonder how far SC will drop in the polls?  I'm thinking 6 or 7. 

I wish those SEC teams would play someone on the road.  Have you seen LSU's schedule?  The toughest road game they play is South Dakota State School for the Blind.

ND loosing again  ;D ;D ;D  At least Willingham beat Navy all 3 years.  Up to now, the excuse has been that Weis had to play with Willingham's players.  Looking at how he's doing with his own players, I think they would prefer Willingham's back.  After today, Weis is going to be the coach of the worst ND team in history.  They won't get rid of him, because they can't.  ND were such idiots to give him an extension that they'd be in for more than $25 million to buy him out.
