well ####.... I was hoping for another Toledo and Appalachian State event. :kicksrock:
I think Toledo was in a bowl that year and Appalachian State won multiple FCS Championships. Akron has lost 27 straight road games vs the likes of Eastern Michigan. This would be worse IMO.
that Toledo team was horrendous. Worse loss than app st but not the one people remember for obvious reasons
 
What's lost in all the weekend hoopla is the fact that the B1G looks no better, as a conference than the ACC has the past 7-8 years. Even if the ACC is top heavy, it's still appears to be considerably better than the B1G this year. It was an absolutely brutal weekend for the B1G.

Yeah...OSU is the only real team out there.

Wisconsin is what they always are...a very good...but not great team.

Capable of beating almost anyone...and losing to almost anyone.

 
Badgers got jobbed out of a chance to win that game.

You can't have a guy laying on the ball...and an official telling the offense to wait.

Anyone claiming Wisconsin was not lined up is an idiot...the Oline is there standing waiting for the ball to be spotted.
:cry:
The truth bothers you doesn't it?

As someone else said...this team is not going to win a title...but they still got jobbed by idiots working the field.

No matter how much Stave screwed up...they had plenty of time to spot the ball and get the spike done.
the way i see it the badgers got lucky that a quick whistle negated a fumble

and then an equally bad call cost them the chance to capitalize

all in all, had they just kicked the field goal they would have been fine

 
What i found comforting was the way so many football fans came together in support of 'Bama this weekend. Many of them despise Saban and the tide, but the near universal loathing of Manziel brought so many together begrudgingly pulling for Alabama

Manziel, he's a unitier

I was sorta hoping a Biblical event would occur where the ground just opened up and swallowed the whole lot of them :shrug:

honestly the ACC has positioned itself very well. The first few weeks are mostly OOC games and no one has a better skin that either the Clemson or Miami wins.

The AP poll contains 5 teams with losses right now. 2 were in conference. Two were vs the ACC. 1 was vs Michigan. That speaks to the rather sparse OOC slate overall but it shows that the ACC has done their part already. If any of the top teams in the ACC run the table, those wins, assuming UF or UGA don't collapse, are going to be huge in the SOS equation if a bunch of 1-loss teams are vying for a spot.

yes, i can see that

but barring that most people i encountered wanted Manziel to get his more than a Bama loss

i think it boils down to 'Bama and Saban are so good that their heads cannot get any bigger, we are all accustomed to their massive superiority complex, and while we may despise it, it is the norm. Where as the idea of listening to Johnny had he knocked this team off was enough to make many people physically ill.

Of course, to me his presser sounded like this "big deal, we lost, my numbers rocked," i could be misreading that because i have no use for the kid though

What fumble...the play was dead the minute the QB's knee hit the ground.

Can't say I officially disagree here. Time will tell, but in my gut the Florida loss isn't surprising at all to me. Florida isn't what it used to be...not close IMO. I'm not discrediting the win. In this day and age it's still a "win vs the SEC" but the gap continues to close on how impressive that is IMO. Everyone's catching up and just in time for a playoff minus the polls. I do agree they've positioned themselves very well, now all they have to do is avoid crapping the bed against the second and third tiers of the conference (i.e. "pull a Clemson").

But what the heck do I know. I was the one at the beginning of the year that thought LSU had a very good chance of unseating Alabama this year if Cameron could get Mett's crap together and make him a legit QB. As of last week, I thought THAT game would be the most difficult on Alabama's schedule after seeing Mett's progression.

 
CBS Earns 9.0 Overnight For Alabama-Texas A&M, A 23-Year Best

.CBS earned a 9.0 overnight rating for yesterday's Alabama-Texas A&M game, the net's highest rated afternoon regular-season college football telecast since a 10.1 for Miami-Notre Dame in '90. The rating is up 200% from a 3.0 for last year's season-opening broadcast on the net featuring Alabama-Arkansas. Yesterday's game peaked at a 10.2 rating from 7:00-7:15pm ET (CBS).

 
Pac-12 reprimands officiating crew, with additional sanctions.

Meanwhile, comments on Internet stories continue to make the typical FFA debate look incredibly civil by comparison.
What is it about internet news sites that brings the stupids out? Sometimes there's thousands of 'em just looking for a fight.
I don't know. I thought the switch by some sites to tie comments to Facebook or other social networking accounts, rather than anonymous log-ins (much like the FFA or FBG), would make people more accountable for what they write. But I guess some people are just passionate/crazy.

Ain't that the truth :lmao:
that whole writeup is very entertaining

and Belima's wife seems like something special
Ex Hooters waitress.
I saw an article where he claims she's not a gold-digger because he waited to tell her who he was. Yeah right, Bret, like we believe she had no idea who you were. She was captivated by your Clooney-like good looks and witty banter not your million plus dollar salary :lmao: .

It dumbfounds me what people are willing to say using their own name just because it's on the internet.

Pac 12 has always had terrible officiating crew.

See OU-Oregon game from 2006. :bowtie:
yeah, that was bad. I was there and even though I've tried like hell to defend that game, I'm living a lie. That was outrageous.
Preach, bother.

What fumble...the play was dead the minute the QB's knee hit the ground.
I heard multiple times today that the act of kneeling is official no matter if the knee actually touches the ground. So, while we know that the knee did touch the ground, he "kneeled" whether or not it actually touched.

The idea that Wisconsin is to blame at all is laughable for me. There is almost no circumstance where a team can't take a knee and then spike the ball in 18 seconds. The refs and the refs alone are to blame. They didn't know the rules. Even if they did not accept the kneel, the recovered fumble should have been whistled with plenty of time on the clock. There is literally no explanation for what they did.

It was a ####ty no call on the refs part, but I can't believe no one on the Wisconsin side noticed the clock was still running. Why leave it up to the refs? Just kick the ball.

 
Saw Jim Mora's name for the first time on the Texas board.
What are they saying about him?
They want him. I was hoping for a statement from Tim.
I'm glad they'd want him. It most likely means others think he's doing a good job.

The problem here with being a Bruin fan is obvious - that other schools probably think they can get him. UCLA fans have not any delusions of poaching Nick Saban, Urban Meyer, etc. from the top programs.

I'd assume Texas makes a run at him. He makes $2.5M at UCLA right now and supposedly they are prepared to pay what it will take to retain him and his staff (particularly OL coach, Adrian Klemm). Then again, they said they'd pay what it would take to get a top flight basketball coach, too...

 
This Deadspin article and audio can't be helpful for Bo Pelini at Nebraska.

"Fairweather" is among the last adjectives I'd use to describe the Nebraska fanbase, but I admit my personal experiences are limited to a close friend, my encounters with them at the 2001 (?) Rose Bowl, and the last two UCLA-Nebraska games.

Came in to post this. The audio is from 2 years ago, but it's going to be a ####storm anyway.

Agreed. He's also taking on Tommie Frazier publicly. Good luck to him. He's going to need it.

 
Wasn't there some hubbub about Pelini refusing to apologize for acting like a crazed lunatic on the sidelines, which according to a fan 'was not the Nebraska way'? Seems like his days are numbered.

Also, I don't think I like my Mack Brown bet, RN. That guy is going to ride out the season, no matter how ugly it gets. :kicksrock:

In fairness, Tommie is also a giant **** that is caring about Husker fans for the first time in his life.

 
@FauxPelini: I GIVE UP 41 POINTS AND MY JOB IS IN JEOPARDY, BUT ALABAMA GIVES UP 42 AND SABAN IS A GOD?? DO THE MATH ####BAGS

:lmao:

The funny part about this is I bet it is a disgruntled OWH or Lincoln reporter that sold this one out. Once Tommie let loose and the opportunity was ripe the reporter seized the day. I could be wrong, but this reeks of an opportunistic reporter looking to grind an axe against a coach who is extremely adverse to the media. All that said, Pelini has no filter and chooses to behave the way he behaves. The biggest problem is that he has a ton of booster backing so it may take a felony to get rid of him. It would be awesome to hire someone with, I don't know, actual success as a HC at a large program with some modicum of success. Turner would have been a good choice after his success at Buffalo - but then he pissed that away with his poor performance at KU.

On a side note, this is one of the things that pisses me off about Nebraska. They pride themselves in how well they treat opponents. The bluehairs come unglued if you start to cheer too loudly. Here is an idea, maybe it is time to have some piss and vinegar in this program. Nice guys don't finish first and there is no award for how nice your fan base is. Time to make Memorial Stadium a place to fear instead of a place to have milk and cookies. The team is soft? Yes, but so is the fan base. The kids at the U weren't even born the last time the Huskers won a championship. Okay - at leats they weren't old enough to remember it.

 
Scott Frost has to be a candidate for the Nebraska job, right? Assuming Oregon continues to score 50 pts a game?
His name has been mentioned. The fan base seems to be split on that idea.
Somebody's going to hire him after this year.
He has been an OC for 3 games.
Yeah, that's true, but he's been in the Oregon system for a while now and he's a fast riser in the ranks. If Oregon makes it back to a national title game (and here I'm getting way ahead of myself) I could see him getting a HC job. But yeah, he's not the most experienced option out there.
