Alright, so right now BYU is getting trounced by FSU 20-6, Texas is about to start against texas tech. Plus Aurburn vs WV and Arkansas vs Georgia

Ready SET discuss

[wicket]

well byu is already back one td and i think they will still iwn that game. now watching the kickoff of the battle of texas. hoping that the raiders can upset the longhorns just like last year (although it wasnt an upset that time around)

[notredomer23]

A lot of good games for football tonight.

[NDFan4Life]

USC LOST!!!!

Sorry... delayed reaction :hahaha:

[Irish Joe]

USC LOST!!!!

Sorry... delayed reaction :hahaha:

I'm repping you for that bcus I'm so happy SC lost that I feel like a rep is a high-5 to a fellow SC hater!

[NDFan4Life]

I'm repping you for that bcus I'm so happy SC lost that I feel like a rep is a high-5 to a fellow SC hater!

Thank, kind sir.

I'll do the same for you. Whenever this damn thing lets me.

[Irish Joe]

Hall just threw a pick-6...FSU close to putting this out of reach

[Irish Joe]

UGA takes the lead...AJ Green is a beast

[Griff Cannon]

Anyone else notice how huge the helmet on the Texas Tech QB is?

Is his head really that big?

[notredomer23]

USCe v #4 Ole Miss. 7:30 ESPN tonight

I think I have to root for USCe just because Ole Miss has not shown they're worthy of #4.

[ndcufan]

Heisman watch after today should be like this

Tim Tebow<>
Coly McCoy<>
Jahvid Best <>
Jimmy Clausen^
Jacory Harris^
Dez Bryant<>

i think i would put jahvid best on top b/c he carried (literally) the bears to victory last weekend vs minny; after i think jimmy and jacory harris should be getting more love; then mccoy and tebow and bryant to round it up.
however i don't vote, and since espn ppl do tebow will win it

[IrishR#1]

I think this will be a pretty good Heisman race and if Clausen keeps it up and we make a BCS Bowl he will have a legit chance of winning.

[Griff Cannon]

Snead looks awful, the whole offense looks awful sheesh. Shows what preseason rankings and a pathetic OOC schedule will get you.

[Griff Cannon]

wow they take the ball out of their heisman candidate's hands and their offense moves down the field. They put it back in his hands and they will be losing

[littlerick77]

USCe v #4 Ole Miss. 7:30 ESPN tonight

I think I have to root for USCe just because Ole Miss has not shown they're worthy of #4.

at the end of the game Craig James was stroking South Carolina saying they are easily a top 15 team. jeez it was one game.....

[Irish Joe]

over-rated...over-rated...over-rated

[SanDiegoIrishFan]

I didn't want the Trojans to lose to UW and I don't want them to lose to Ole Miss. I would have preferred that they only had one loss this year to the IRISH! Now when we beat them everyone will say it is a rebuilding year for them.

USC means Univ. South Carolina - not the Trojans.

[Griff Cannon]

Well looks like Miami's honeymoon is over though they were impressive up until this point

[Griff Cannon]

did anyone else see the kentucky fans wearing those germ masks at the florida game, I lol'd

[ndcufan]

did anyone else see the kentucky fans wearing those germ masks at the florida game, I lol'd

that was funny.
cal is getting pounded by oregon. looks like cal was looking ahead to next week
i saw some highlights of bc, that should be another streak broken
still not impressed with osu, but illinois is that bad
bama looks good and their defense is really good; mark may has got to be crying now considering his man crush on mallet
florida state has to be the most volatile team this year; lose to miami in a close game, blowout byu, lose at home to usf

[Griff Cannon]

Cal got flattened 42-3 ouch I didn't think they were a top 10 team but man maybe not even top 15.....

[wicket]

USC means Univ. South Carolina - not the Trojans.

that USC can better be referred to as USCe (USCeast if you want) makes that difference nice and clear
the performance of cal was pretty emberrasing btw

[Griff Cannon]

anyone else watching the nebraska mizzou game?

[IrishR#1]

I'm watching California v. Las Vegas right now!

[Griff Cannon]

Its been a pretty funny 4th quarter. Mizzou came in up 12-0 and it just became 20-12 Nebraska. For some reason neither team looked to be able to do anything in the rain. Not sure how ND isn't ranked above either.

[Griff Cannon]

gabbert continues to fall apart

[Griff Cannon]

27 unanswered points for Nebraska in the 4th quarter, that guarantees one team dropping from the rankings this week

[ndcufan]

unl has absolutely no offense. fortunately for them suh is an absolute beast and will cause the defense nightmares. if nd could get a guy like suh...

[Griff Cannon]

Auburn is getting their butts handed to them by Arkansas. They'll be lucky to hold on to any ranking at this rate

[Irish Joe]

Auburn is getting their butts handed to them by Arkansas. They'll be lucky to hold on to any ranking at this rate

Ok State is in a fight with A&M...a 2nd loss should drop them pretty far, if not all the way out

[Irish Joe]

UGA blocked punt/safety...hopefully they can make a game of this, I hate Kiffin

Remember when UGA/UT would've been a big deal?

[ndcufan]

Bc is warming up the bus. Seriously Vatech is taking bc to the woodshed. I'm think ND should be able to do the same

[Irish Joe]

It took 2 & a half quarters, but Jonathon Crompton finally looks like Jonathon Crompton...throws behind a receiver, turns into a pick 6...UGA back in the game

[brownkj002]

watching the nd vs uw game. nd down 27-22 after stopping uw for their 3rd goaline stand.

[Griff Cannon]

[Irish Joe]

I would really like to see Wisconsin beat OSU today

[Irish Joe]

A&M recaptures the lead

[Irlandese]

I love Lee Corso

Corso "I wouldn't pick Purdue if they were playing Iraq" :-)


and I love Army now. SEC school beaten by an Academy team :hahaha:

[Irish Joe]

Bama is beginning to do what they want with Ole Miss

Wiscy down at half

[rebuildtherocket]

Bama is number one in my book.

[mlcspinner]

If Fla loses tonight Bama will have a good case to be number 1

[Griff Cannon]

If Fla loses tonight Bama will have a good case to be number 1

so will lsu

[mlcspinner]

The only thing about lsu is their opener against washington that's the only reason I would put bama first

[Irish Joe]

I think tonights game will answer the questions about LSU...a lot of people think they're overrated, the pollsters obviously don't. Tonight we find out the truth

[wicket]

Bama is number one in my book.

It could be me but I dont think bama is this convincing in this game. if it were not for the epic failitude of the ole miss OLine and receivers bama wouldnt have scored more than a couple of field goals and maybe snead would actually have shot. its just tough to play qb when the other team is rushing three and still is getting through the offensive line untouched quite systematically. Talking about that. it doesnt help either when you make a good throw for the receiver to than basicly hand it off to the opponent

[IrishR#1]

Bama should be number one because they are the only undefeated BCS team to beat a top team.

[Griff Cannon]

:rofl: :rofl: Tebow goes under center to fake a QB sneek all to try and draw LSU offsides and they don't fall for it. :rofl: :rofl: Thats what happens when your a TE throwing the ball.

[Griff Cannon]

and it was on 4th down :rofl:

and they took a delay of game penalty :rofl:

and gave the ball back on the LSU 25 :rofl: :rofl:

[CULion17]

Can all the Forcier hype calm down now? Kid gets hyped like no other for tearing up the ND defense, which up till now is not special. He'll be a good college QB, but not even close to worthy of Heisman talk.

[Griff Cannon]

I am sure it will now that espn isn't carrying another game of theirs till pOSU. It seemed odd to me as well why he was getting all the hype until I put the Primetime game together with a unranked scUM team

[publicola]

Two things about GT vs. FSU:

First, GT's defense is awful. They single-handedly put Jacory Harris (who I think is a fine player, but still has a long way to go) on the Heisman watch list. They're back up to stinking up the joint again tonight.

Second, I remember we wanted Dustin Hopkins, but settled for Tausch when Hopkins took too long to decide (he was leaning FSU anyway). Based on their young careers so far, I'd say we got the better end of that deal.

[Griff Cannon]

should have had this up earlier,

Tulsa v Boise State
21-28 6 mins left Boise leads
Lou is doing the color commentary :bigsmile:

[Griff Cannon]

Lou just said you should only have to pay the officials half the fee, since they only seem to watch 1 team

[Griff Cannon]

2 minutes left, Tulsa down 7, officials are awful and lou is saying some of the funniest things ever

[Griff Cannon]

Tulsa just crapped that one away

[NotreDameNate]

Yes they did.... I'm curious if that WR would have scored if the ball made it to him.

[Griff Cannon]

#21 USF vs #8 Cincy, on now

[wicket]

usf DLine looking very good

[Griff Cannon]

USF is controlling both sides of the ball in the first

[Irish Joe]

Pike looks good when given time...right now, he's not getting much time

[Irish Joe]

Daniels looked like a freshman forcing the ball

[wicket]

interception by cincy almost going coast to coast

[Irish Joe]

Did Kelly just hint Pike may have broken his non-throwing arm? I caught the end of that interview

[Irish Joe]

FYI for those keeping an eye on the Heisman watch...Pike is in street clothes on the Cincy sideline with an arm injury. Thus far, his backup has put up better numbers than he had before he left. Would've been big for Tony to have a big game on national TV.

[stonebreakerwasgod]

Go Cincy!

[Griff Cannon]

Early Games of Interest
OU @ Texas
NU @ MSU
Delaware St @ scUM
pOSU @ Purdue

[Irish Joe]

Bradford just got knocked out again...same shoulder

[Purebred Irishman]

Oklahoma gets the first turnover of the red river rivalry and during the very next play sam bradford goes down holding his throwing shoulder. Bradford is on the sideline now. Its the same shoulder as he injured against byu.

[robertsgolf]

That should seal this one up for UT

[Griff Cannon]

Anyone else see bama go to the pistol with the #2 QB?

[Irish Joe]

Anyone else see bama go to the pistol with the #2 QB?

Bama? Griff can you see the future? How do we do today?

[Griff Cannon]

Bama? Griff can you see the future? How do we do today?

Oklahoma in white today !! :nanana:

[Griff Cannon]

colt mccoy with his first completion of the game, with 5 mins left in the 1st

[Purebred Irishman]

Mack Brown is not a happy camper...

[Griff Cannon]

McCoy is not looking very heismanesque

[robertsgolf]

McCoy is not looking very heismanesque

It is Jimmy's to win of lose today.

[wicket]

McCoy is not looking very heismanesque

he is looking awfull. pre-season i thought it was his to lose (although i dont think he is very good but the texas system and stuff make him look good) but he is doing just that imo

[wicket]

and a stupid played fumble by mccoy basicly should take him out of the consideration

[Purebred Irishman]

Both defences are dominating this game. Mc Coy is looking very ordinary today.

[ndcufan]

Purdue...!? up 16-7 over pOSu in teh 3rd.

[Irish Legend]

he is looking awfull. pre-season i thought it was his to lose (although i dont think he is very good but the texas system and stuff make him look good) but he is doing just that imo

Amen. The Longhorn system makes a lot of QB's look better than they are. They throw short high percentage pass plays. Just look at Vince Young, he can't read a defense.

[Irish Joe]

Purdue...!? up 16-7 over pOSu in teh 3rd.

23-7...Boiler Up!

[wicket]

23-7...Boiler Up!

boilerific!!!!!

[goldenlid]

Is Purdue that good, OSU that bad, because OSU scored more than this on USC.

[Irish Joe]

Pryor sucks...we may have been better off if he went to Michigan

[ndcufan]

i don't think osu is that good. those purdue black uniforms look familiar. c'mmon purdue, finish them!

[Irish Joe]

OSU will never win a National Championship with Pryor as their QB

[wicket]

OSU will never win a National Championship with Pryor as their QB

yeah that made me happy cuz there isnt much behind him either if im not mistaking. osu mediocre for 2 more years after this makes me happy

[Griff Cannon]

Purdue is gonna crap their lead away

[wicket]

Purdue is gonna crap their lead away

no they are not ;)

[ndcufan]

thank you boilers! 26-18. pOSU is done! :headbang:

[NotreDameNate]

Always a good day seeing OSU lose!

[ndcufan]

Always a good day seeing OSU lose!

even better once sc loses...

[JMR8]

good lord...so much for our "sweet" offense. We weouldnt even be on the board if it wasnt for that trick play. i really dont care about getting bashed for posting t his, im sick of this. USC isnt even playin good and they are still beating us. Something totally different has to happen in the 2nd half or I seriously don't know if ND ever beats USC again...its really annoying and tiring...

USC is up 1 score at halftime, what about the past 4 games tells you its over? :mutumbo:

[JMR8]

I never once said it was over, but what i did say is that our only big play and scoring drive came on a lucky trick play that wond happen again. Clause has about 3 seconds to throw and when he does have time he doesnt trust the line or the recievers dont get open. It's just annoying watching USC who isnt even playin good still do work on ND. And yeah they are only up once score, but you cant tell me that they are kickin ND's ass. The digs, the slants, the stops...yeah they were workin and we go away from it. I just hope they find something that works and stick with it...force the D dont let the D force you.

When you have a strong Oline you can make up for average QB play

[sonomairishfan]

note to CW, KICK the damn Field Goal!!!!!!!!!!! you can't afford to leave points on the field.

[sonomairishfan]

way to let the momentum swing CW, i'm done with this guy.

[JMR8]

how is he playing avg? he gettin hit in his face and still making throws...yeah to wide open WR and TE's, but he's making them. ND has 2 big plays and that is it! USC is doing what they want...c'mon u gotta be watching the same game, they are laughing and joking around after every play. Typical ND/USC matchup as of late...

[Fifth Horseman]

Ridiculous. Fire Weis, fire Tanuta, and let's try again. The only thing separating what I'm seeing now from what I've seen in the previous years is that we've caught a few lucky breaks. This is hard as hell to watch, as we've let (for the second time this season) a freshman quarterback look like a 5th year starter in contention for the Heisman. Sickening.

[Irish Joe]

Great, here we go again. Win every game or fire the coach! Nice rationalization. Apparently we can't just get beat by a better team without calling for the coach's head

[JMR8]

I'm not gonna get into the the off with his head chants, but guys...look at this game. Really? C'mon, besides bringing in a few big names what has C. Weis and Co. Done? What...? Recocrd vs top 10...Notta. Record VS top 25: just about the same. Bowl wins...One, yes against Hawaii. I find this so hard to watch Jimmy have to go through this, he is one hell of a player and isn't getting much for it. I love this team I do, Huge fan of a few guys, but overall...don't even wanna talk about it. I really didnt expect to win this game, id idnt. I was thinking yeah we could, but if not lets make it real damn competitive, and a few drives they have, but again overall...notta.

[JMR8]

Great, here we go again. Win every game or fire the coach! Nice rationalization. Apparently we can't just get beat by a better team without calling for the coach's head

True, I dont want to do that, but like I said think of the big picture. What have we (ND) done!?!? A few real nice individuals....? yup, bout it.

[Domer Dog]

Yes, we've let another freshmen look great, but once again the stregth of this team was going to be the secondary and once again, we have guys wide open...even when we do get pressure on Barkley. And again, tackling, tackling, tackling. I would not be surprised if Teo is the leading tackler this week because he is the only guy on the field that when he gets his hands on a guy, he stays after him til he goes down.

[Irish Joe]

Would you prefer Ty Willingham? My how we forget what Charlie has done. The cupboard was BARE after Quinn & Co. left. This is year 3 of the "rebuilding" and we're gonna be 4-2. I'll take that

[JMR8]

Nope I wouldnt. Either did Washington, And they already have beatin more top 5 teams in one year. Like I said I'm not calling for his head, but this isn't notre dame. If I wanted to be a fan of a team that wins games thay are suppose to and thats it then I wouldnt be a ND fan, but I am and I expect more. sorry...

[step30044]

So little FAITH we are down by two scores with a great offense! WE can still pull this one out.

Its not over yet:mutumbo:

I think we're on the same page. Don't misread my comments, I'm incredibly frustrated right now. I was inches away from putting a hole in my wall. I just get so sick of the "Fire Weis" shit. He's not going anywhere & this talk does no good for the fan base.

[step30044]

ITS NOT OVER YET GOOOOOOOOOO IRISH:mutumbo:

[step30044]

:mutumbo::mutumbo::mutumbo::mutumbo::mutumbo::mutu mbo:

[JMR8]

You're totally right it's not, i never said it was...it looke dlike it was gonna be, but I'm gettin what I asked for now. COMPETITION! Like I said earlier...this team is all Jimmy C. If the rest of the team had the balls he did, I wouldnt be on here snarling.

[Domer Dog]

Would you prefer Ty Willingham? My how we forget what Charlie has done. The cupboard was BARE after Quinn & Co. left. This is year 3 of the "rebuilding" and we're gonna be 4-2. I'll take that

Come on Joe, year 3. By my count it's year 5. Even if you want to ignore the first recruiting class because he was still working with the Pats, he has had 4 fairly highly rated classes since then. That's 4. Somehow, Miami can do it, Michigan is getting better quickly, UW has looked good and they had the Ty syndrome. You can't just start the clock after Quinn left. Bottomline is he didn't develop the talent the first couple of years while he had Quinn and Co., and that put him way behind. When other downtrodden programs can rebuild with three recruiting classes, we can't in 4 (5). That's coaching!

I appreciate he improved the talent level, and I do not want to see him go at this point, but I do not believe we will ever win a national championship with CW at the helm.

[step30044]

The D needs to come up BIG

[Irish Joe]

I appreciate he improved the talent level, and I do not want to see him go at this point, but I do not believe we will ever win a national championship with CW at the helm.

I'm gonna love to see you proved wrong. That's all I'll say about this debate right now. Raise your glass with me, brother. We're in this!

Go Irish!

[step30044]

I appreciate he improved the talent level, and I do not want to see him go at this point, but I do not believe we will ever win a national championship with CW at the helm.

I cant agree with that CW gets better every year....I don't agree with not kicking the field goal BUT were in this game and the future is looking good.

[step30044]

TIME TO WIN THAT HEISMAN:stickmove:

[Domer Dog]

Time management...snap the ball. Ughhhh. 27 second down to 9 with one play.

[Domer Dog]

Gained tremendous respect for Parris today. What a great game.

[therizz]

Crap

[JMR8]

Gained tremendous respect for Parris today. What a great game.

Yup you said it. Him, JC and Tate...

Well...I'll quit bickering becasue I got my competition, but man...what do we do from here...?
I mean legitimately thats our best shot to beat USC and we don't...I'm not callin for weis' head, because thats just dumb, but what do we do from here...

[Domer Dog]

What a great game. The key now is to avoid the letdown against a dangerous BC team. I'm flying up with my son for that game. I just love Clausen (outside of that time issue at the end). He will have the opportunity to go pro this year, but I hope he stays. He could use one more year of seasoning, but he has really become a tremendous leader this year. Great effort, never give up attitude.

[JMR8]

I'm not sure about him leavin...honestly no matter how great the odds next year at USC...I know he wants another shot with Floyd back in and healthy. Jimmy competes and thats what I wanted to see. The balls he and Parris had at the end....the others on the team need to take some notes.

[Fifth Horseman]

I'll retract my earlier statement, as I was extremely frustrated and the boys put up a helluva fight with a comeback. It just sucks losing and now we gotta put up with another year of "ND can't play with top flight competition," "ND can't play with USC," and "ND is 0-5 against USC under Weis." I hope they finish out the rest of this year without another loss and win a bowl game. I get so tired of ESPN and Mark May's smugness, but it's pretty much all I watch. Listening to the College Football Live crew right now (with the exception of Holtz, obviously) is hard- though I gotta check myself, as Mark May just complimented them.

I hope the recruits that were in attendance got a taste of what ND is about and the fact that they're improving. Hopefully it won't take them long to break back into the Top 25, and hopefully a lot of recruits will be excited about what is to come in South Bend. Then again, you could probably say the same about USC...the bastards.

[step30044]

but what do we do from here...

Continue to play Irish football....that was one hell of a game. Even in the loss I see so much improvement...one slip away from OT

HELL OF A GAME

[step30044]

I'm not sure about him leavin...honestly no matter how great the odds next year at USC...I know he wants another shot with Floyd back in and healthy. Jimmy competes and thats what I wanted to see. The balls he and Parris had at the end....the others on the team need to take some notes.


The O-line stepped up big down the stretch

[robertsgolf]

We will win out and win a bowl game and continue the winning streak next year. We will not lose another game for a long time.

[Irish Joe]

Getting back to the topic of this thread....Florida pulled a game out of their ass that they should've lost

[Irish Joe]

GaTech up on VaTech....I liked VaTech to play for the NC before the season & I still like them until they lose this game

[JMR8]

I'll retract my earlier statement, as I was extremely frustrated and the boys put up a helluva fight with a comeback

Hey...me too man. I will never rant and rave a Fire "whoever" chant though. I wanted to see something else...and I did. I'm proud of where they are going, but I just thnk we need a few minor changes to get back. We a re not there yet, but hopefully if more good continues then we should be. I'm pissed, but yet I'm happy with what I see...weird.

[Irish Joe]

I could see Bama jumping Fla for #1 this week

[Irish Joe]

Hokies not done yet

[NDFan4Life]

Hokies not done yet

I think they are. I really like the Hokies too.

[Irish Joe]

I think they are. I really like the Hokies too.

Yep, another top 5 team goes down

[Domer Dog]

The O-line really did step up at the end of the game, but the effort was uneven in general. Hopefully, what the O-line learned today was that when they put out that effort, they can beat the best. Jimmy was on the run a lot, and I hope Seantral Henderson saw an opening at LT, because our LT just could not stop the bull rush or spin move of Griffin consistently. Who knows, it may have been just that they really had to start believing that they could play with them. Overall, a great game. On to BC.

[Irish Joe]

Illinois losing to Indiana. Gotta think Zook is gone for sure with a loss to the Hoosiers.

[Irish Joe]

Todd Blackledge has the greatest job in the world. Gets to be the analyst for the ESPN primetime game, which is usually a good game, and gets to eat at good local restaurants for his 'Taste of the Town' segment. He's livin' the dream.

[Irish Joe]

Illinois with another loss...would they fire Zook midseason?

[Griff Cannon]

anyone else see SCe go to the same fade pass 4 times in the red zone and all 4 times it was knocked away? Pretty funny I thought

[Irish Joe]

UNC is amp'd up & playing well against FSU. A continuing FSU collapse will only help us in recruiting a few guys.

Go Heels!

[Irish Joe]

Some big plays, plus a TD, for former ND commit Greg Little

[domehead1]

Little is definitley a baller.

[Irish Joe]

Little is definitley a baller.

I still have a hard time watch UNC games...he's a helluva player and it kills me thinking what our offense would be like with him, especially with Floyd hurt.

[domehead1]

Maybe he will trip and fall on a breakaway, no one around him touchdown run :)

That would make me smile.

[Irish Joe]

former Heel LT is on the sidelines & seems like their defense is playing pumped up

[Irish Joe]

Touchdown UNC! 14-3 late 1st

[Irish Joe]

Ponder just threw a 98 yd TD....24-20 UNC late 3rd

[Irish Joe]

and the Noles take the lead

[Irish Joe]

Damn. FSU with the comeback win

[Griff Cannon]

I was rooting for UNC

[Irish Joe]

Minny is out playing Ohio State, but down 7-0 @ halftime. OSU is the most overrated program of all time

FYI Baylor is a very bad team but give them credit they are only losing 17-0 against oklahoma st

[stonebreakerwasgod]

If we get Floyd back for Pitt, I wouldn't be nervous at all.

If Bama loses today though, I will never stop laughing

I would love tenn to win don't see it the upset happening

[Win4Gipper]

I dont mind Tenn I just cant stand that tool Kiffen.... his wife is hot though... still cant respect anything else the douche does

[Irlandese]

Kiffen makes me laugh because he ticks off every SEC fan I know:-)

[sonomairishfan]

coaches like Kiffin are great for college football. he and Steve Spurrier should have their own Variety Show.

[Doomsday Device]

Alabama needs a blocked FG to eke out a win over a now 3-4 Tennessee, and got outgained by almost 100 yards.

[IrishR#1]

When the BCS standings come out, I never root against the teams above USC. Irregardless of who it is.

The computers hate USC (they were probably made at UCLA). That should help.

[IrishR#1]

Southern stadiums are great. The Mississippi St. one looks beautiful.

[Irish Joe]

I've never watched a complete game on Versus, tonight would be the night to do that.

I've been watching some of the UFL on Versus. They do a nice job for that, so I would assume it would be the same for college football too.

Kermits score again. BYU is deciding to show the country they're overrated

miss state has figured out that Tim Tebow runs the ball on every 3rd and goal. i think florida goes down tonight.

[Irish Joe]

TCU scores again. This game sucks

[Irish Joe]

BYU goes for it on 4th & goal and scores. 21-7 TCU

By the way, the shots of BYU's stadium up against the snow covered mountains are gorgeous. I bet they have a beautiful campus.

Hahaha kind of a random response to what their campus looks like. LOL

I would kill myself if I went to BYU. Just sayin'.

I got sucker punched by a BYU fan after a SDSU/BYU basketball game once. Trust me, my hate for BYU is bigger than you could imagine!

Miss St/Fla tied at 13

I didn't watch any of the game but its nice to see Miami lost. Getting sick of hearing the Miami "swagger" is back. Screw them

I might be able to compete with you for that. Senior year of HS me and some of my teammates went there for a camp.

1) My teammates who were black definitely got the akward treatment and looks from a lot of people.

2) The heat was something like I would imagine in hell. We were there in August.

3) The d-coordinator threatened to have us kicked out of the camp because during the 7 on 7 tournament our team was beating the crap out the team he was coaching, and like typical So Cal kids we were doing a lot of smack talking. He didn't like that. We won the whole tournament LOL!

4) Norm Chow was an asshole and would only speak to the QB they were recruiting.

5) Steve Young was an even bigger asshole, and wouldn't speak to anybody not on the BYU team.

6) A camp worker came into a teammates room and got into his face and was yelling at him for being in the girls dorm after hours. Turns out it was a different black guy. The one out of six at camp that wasn't on our team. When you assume......

7) All those rules listed by IrishR#1 even apply to people visiting for a football camp. I couldn't wait to get home so I could break *MOST* of those rules as soon as possible.

[IrishR#1]

All of them?

LOL! Good thing I just re-read. Definitely not all.

more Kiffen. He makes me laugh:-)

recruiting techniques

After this, he is now hated more by Bama in half a season then Fulmer managed his entire time at Tenn.

http://blog.al.com/bamabeat/2009/10/lane_kiffin_its_a_game_that_we.html

Kiffin also took exception to the fact that headsets for Tennessee coaches were not working before the game. As a result, both sides had to disregard headsets for the game's first series. UT held Alabama's offense to a three-and-out.

"It was just amazing," Kiffin said. "Our kickoff team goes out, everything's working in pregame and about 10 seconds before the opening kick our headsets just happen to go off -- in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Amazing deal. Just like the penalties today. ... Everything was great. We tested everything, came out right before kickoff and all of sudden they don't work. I've seen that before and heard of it before. They have happened to come back at the end of the first series. Then all of a sudden they worked, after our defense wasn't able to get the personnel from upstairs for the whole first series. They happened to come back. It would be just great timing so Coach Saban and their defense would be able to have their headsets."

[ndcufan]

kiffin is a true blood jackass. guess what do you expect coming from sc?

[CULion17]

He's a jackass, but all signs point to him bringing the Vols back to the top of the SEC east. They've already jumped UGAy in year 1.

Not really.

Spoke too soon.

Paulus intercepted in the endzone.

About to be down 14 at half. That's a TD (though replay officials have missed more obvious calls before).

[HoffVir]

Or down 14 anyway.

[bayirish]

Bob davie is a boob

[Griff Cannon]

I didn't think it was a TD

[irishunclebill]

Iowa looks awful right now

Iowa is a perfect example of the fallacy of the BCS rankings in all regards. The human polls are too subjective and the computers have an Iowa team who is losing 21-7 to Indiana at halftime AT HOME, and is the #1 ranked team by the computers. Now Iowa could still come back to win this game, but pleeze tell me how that team is #1 in anything. Makes no sense and that is why they have to figure out some kind of playoff system eventually.

Yup, they got jobbed

I think his knee was down out of bounds before he his foot landed in bounds. the dirt few up at his knee before his foot.

his foot dragged, it wasnt even close. im watching this in HD so i can see it pretty easily.

seriously combined with the other decisions thusfar indiana is really taking one up the ass from the refs again

yeah, stanzi completed 5 or his last 6

to bad that 4 of those were to the other team, but still

[publicola]

Well, the refs kept it close for Stanzi until he could get the wind at his back, and now it looks like Iowa will take it from there. Congrats, Big Ten -- you've successfully kept Iowa in the hunt, and it only cost you your integrity, if you had any.
