Free For All Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Several good games this weekend. Florida-LSU and Texas-OU were both good good ones. More upsets, too! Wisconsin and USC go down. This has been the craziest season I think I've ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.D. Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 BTW, what's up with USC losing the No. 1 ranking after a win? Washington clearly is a much better team than Tulane (LSU's opponent Saturday). I figure, if you play a better opponent than the No. 2 team and you win, you gotta stay No. 1, no? Besides, LSU looked awful in the first half. In hindsight (after the Stanford loss), that appears to have been an excellent call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were both smacking each other around pretty hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Many say Karl Dorrell's job is in jeopardy at UCLA--but there have been so many key injuries it's tough to say how much of this collapse is his fault. Starting QB (and second string QB), best receiver, best defensive lineman, others are all out now. Still, the alumni lose their patience fairly quickly in this town...

He was selling a secret newsletter that nobody else knew about, for $1200 per year. The recipients were sworn to secrecy, and he shared info on the players who were injured (which he doesn't make public), and also gave his personal opinion about his own players - i.e. this one's slow, that one can't catch the ball very well, etc. Add that to the fact that he simply hasn't done a very good job in the time he's been at A&M, and there are alot of alumni (like myself) who want him gone. The sooner the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Alfredson Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 BTW, the Big Ten Network sucks ass. So far I've been able to watch exactly ONE Michigan State game on TV because cable doesn't carry the BTN. And the reason they don't carry the BTN is because the BTN wanted a fee for every Comcast subscriber (nationwide), which comes to $60 million dollars. The last time the package TV rights were sold, they went for $2 million. So the Big Ten Network sucks for being greedy pricks. Good win by State last night. I had to watch the highlights on the local news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papsrus Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 USF No. 2 in the Associated Press poll; No.3 in the coaches poll. wow! The first BCS ranking comes out today, I believe. Should be interesting. What a wacky year so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aggie87 Posted October 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 sounds like a class act. where did the aggies dig him up. bring back the longtime coach with the initials for a first name!!!! A&M stole him from Alabama, where he didn't even give his players the courtesy of telling them he was leaving, until after the fact (and even then it wasn't in person). In fact, he had just gotten done BEGGING the Alabama players to stay and stick it out, despite the risk of NCAA sanctions for something or nother. He also previously left Texas Christian University for Alabama in a similar manner, I've heard. He's a weasel. The initial guy is R.C. Slocum. Yes, bring him back! In fact, he's still on the school's payroll, as a sports ambassador or something. Would work fine for me if they canned Franchione, and made Slocum the interim coach for the remainder of the year.

Tim McG Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Cal Berzerkly and LSU lose this weekend. Wow. Now if the polls place Ohio State in the #1 spot on the strength of a blowout over , uh...Kent St. [who?], the BCS is hoplelessly flawed.

LSU 5. Oklahoma 6. South Carolina 7. Kentucky 8. Arizona State 9. West Virginia 10. Oregon Wow! Some new schools here. SEC with three, Pac 10 and Big East with two. Big Ten and Big 12 and ACC with one each. I'm thinking this list will be completely different by the end of the year. Although, USF has a chance to win out. They do play Thursday at Rutgers. That may be dicey. Edited October 15, 2007 by papsrus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet, they have the No. 1 ranked team in the country right now. Weird. We'll see how long that lasts- Ohio State has upcoming away games at Michigan and Penn State, and Wisconsin and Illinois at home. I've given up doing anything but taking it all one week at a time- this is the craziest season I've ever seen, and it's made the NCAA much more interesting than this season's NFL games, IMHO. It would be pretty wild to see USF in that #1 spot, wouldn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papsrus Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Indeed. I also doubt Ohio State will win out. LSU is still No. 4 in the BCS rankings, and if they manage to win the SEC, they could get a shot at the title game. Oklahoma at No. 5 as well, if they win the Big 12. That would be a nice matchup, I think. I don't know enough about BC to say one way or the other. I've seen USF play quite a bit, and they have a really good defense. They toss the ball around pretty well on offense and have a decent running game. Kicking game is hit and miss, but they can score, no doubt. If they win out, there's a good chance they'll make the title game. With their defense, who knows ...?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
