Aggie87 Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Anybody watch the Texas/Texas A&M game yesterday? I did, and expected to be disappointed in my team again. Well, they lost (40-29) again, so ended their season at 5-6. BUT they played #2 Texas well! In fact, we were only down by a TD until about 2 minute to go in the game. Surprised the heck outta me. We had a redshirt freshman QB making his first ever start, and he played a gutty game. So maybe there's a glimmer of hope for next year. I think that game yesterday may have cost Vince Young any chance at the Heisman. He didn't do much at all against the nations worst pass defense. Reggie Bush seems to be the clear frontrunner.

chris olivarez Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 i lost $15, i can't afford to lose 15 pennies anyone see the usc/frenso state game? That was a good one but apparently Fresno State came out flat against Nevada and lost 38-35. The Irish escape Palo Alto. Notre Dame scored the winning touchdown with under one minute remaining to defeat Stanford 38-31. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free For All Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Texas is spanking Colorado pretty good (42-3,and that's just the first half). I hope they get to play USC for the national title. I think that might be a fun game to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 I was thinking the same thing, Paul. For once the BCS will have it right, no arguments, and those two teams look pretty similar and well-matched. Meantime, on a day of huge blow-outs and embarassments, who'da thunk that my Seminoles would come out on top of #5 VA Tech? So somehow, in a season worse than anything He-Who-Cannot-Be-Named produced, they managed to bookend wins over top 10 opponents and a BCS bowl bid. (OK, "He who must not be named" is probably a bit obscure. Dude's name was CHRIS RIX and he single handedly brought embarrasment to the program over four long years. I have no explanation of how they continued to stumble in his absence, except that maybe his losing ways infected the team, like a virus, and continues to affect them in his absence.)

scottb Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 OUCH!! My LSU Tigers' luck ran out last night and they were dominated by Georgia. I didn't really think they were the 3rd best team in the country and I certainly didn't want any part of USC or Texas but I thought they had a shot against Georgia for the SEC title.

Aggie87 Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Virginia Tech kicks Marcus Vick off football team By HANK KURZ Jr., AP Sports Writer January 6, 2006 RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- Virginia Tech quarterback Marcus Vick was dismissed from the team Friday, the result of numerous legal transgressions and his unsportsmanlike conduct in the Gator Bowl. University president Charles Steger announced the dismissal on the same day that coach Frank Beamer met with Vick and his mother in their Hampton Roads home, the school said in a statement. Beamer informed them of the decision during the meeting. Vick, the younger brother of Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick, was suspended from school in 2004 for several legal problems. The junior came under new and intense scrutiny this week after replays showed he stomped on the left calf of Louisville All-American defensive end Elvis Dumervil during the Jan. 2 bowl. No penalty was called on the play and Vick claimed its was accidental. He further hurt his cause by claiming to have apologized to Dumervil, the NCAA sacks leader, but the Louisville player said no such apology was ever offered. On Friday, it was revealed that Vick had been stopped for speeding and driving with a revoked or suspended license in Hampton on Dec. 17, Cpl. James West said. Vick's license had been taken away in August 2004 when he was cited for reckless driving and marijuana possession in New Kent County. Steger suspended Vick from school at that time, and warned that any additional problems would effectively end his time as a member of the Hokies' football team. "The university provided one last opportunity for Vick to become a citizen of the university and readmitted him in January 2005, with the proviso that any future problems would result in automatic dismissal from the team," Steger said Friday. Beamer said in a statement that he was disappointed with the outcome. "We wanted what's best for this football team and Marcus," he said. "I certainly wish him the best." School officials said in a statement that there would be no further comment until a news conference Saturday. Beamer, Steger and athletic director Jim Weaver, who said the stomping embarrassed the university, were all expected to attend. A telephone message left on Vick's cell phone was not immediately returned Friday, and his mother, Brenda Boddie, has an unlisted phone number. Vick said before the Hokies' 35-24 comeback victory in the Gator Bowl that he planned to return for his senior season. Now, his choices are to declare for the NFL Draft by the Jan. 15 deadline or transfer to a Division I-AA school so he can play next season. Vick entered this season knowing he would face hostility from opposing fans, mostly stemming from his drug arrest and another for serving alcohol to underage girls during the 2003 school year. He said he was ready for it, but reacted to chants of "rapist" and "child molester" at West Virginia on Oct. 1 by making an obscene gesture in the direction of the crowd. He met with Beamer following that incident and apologized to the team. In the ACC championship game against Florida State, he drew an unsportsmanlike conduct flag for spiking the ball after a touchdown run with the Hokies trailing, and following the 27-22 loss, walked by reporters after the game without commenting, saying he didn't have to. He finished that game 26-for-52 for 335 yards with one interception and a fumble near his goal line that teammate Duane Brown recovered. Vick threw one scoring pass and ran for two more touchdowns, but also was sacked six times for minus-35 yards. On the field, he was often dazzling, but sometimes tried to do too much. The Hokies started 8-0 and were No. 3 in the polls when they hosted Miami on Nov. 5. But Vick threw two interceptions and fumbled the ball away four times in a 27-7 loss. This season, he was runner-up to Wake Forest's Chris Barclay as the conference's offensive player of the year, and was voted the first team quarterback on the all-conference team. In 24 career games, the last 13 starts, Vick was 207-for-346 for 2,868 yards, 19 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. He also rushed 184 times for 492 yards and six TDs.
