i’ve got an essay to write today, but i’kll be making an appearance every once and awhile

here’s to OU and Texas Tech having horrible games, with terrible sputtering offenses and inept horrible defenses and OU winning 3-0 in quadruple overtime because no one could score.

Yep....that'd be the perfect scenario.

Minus the essay I also have to write today….stupid seminar papers.

I’m in class if it makes you feel better.

haha, i’m writing an essay to get into class…. grad school classes.

Best of Luck; may your grad school not subject you to make up classes on Saturday morning.

Ah, the grad school admission process

Grad school’s fun….just make sure that you schedule your homework AROUND Texas games and you’ll be set.

What class?
State and Local Taxation
What are you studying?
Law

Tax focus.

UT? What year?
TU actually

Tulane ’09.

You’re UT right? 3L?

2L

2010

too many law students

too few jobs anymore.

uva2L

I agree

y’all should drop out.

Try prosecuting

Nothing like job security. Our business is booming. Never hurts to have a badge in the wallet, either.

Baylor Law (as in better than the aggies)

Tax law Ewwwww!

Isn't that supposed to be written t.u.

oh wait…

It would be better for the ags

If they started up a rivalry with Tulane. They could keep the t.u., and actually have a chance of long term relevancy.

"Our body of work stands for itself."

- Mack, when interviewed by Fowler on Game Day. He went through the talking points, including beating OU by 10 on a neutral field, but let’s hope he turns up the volume if the Dirt Burglars prevail tonight.

You youngsters get your papers finished so you can watch some football!

somebody please tell me who to hope wins..

i refuse to pull for oklahoma, but if they won and we win the tiebreak i’d be happy. Harrell and Crabtree are both D-bags so i refuse to pull or cheer for them either..Who are you guys hoping wins this game?

My Preferred Scenario

Both teams contract dengue fever, and submit mutual forfeits. Alternately, is there a sand aggy version of Big Red Auto?

Oklahoma

It sucks, but Oklahoma winning provides us with far more scenarios for the MNC game. Not to mention that there is no chance of Kansas City for Texas if Tech wins.

in all honesty

I dont wanna go to Kansas City. Mizzou on a home game where they are the HEAVY underdog and the fact that they could send us to the Holiday Bowl by beating us after the shalacking we gave them…not something I want to experience. Just root for Tech today and then Mizzou in December. Texas walks into Miami.

Michigan INT to Buckeye 13 yd line

couldn’t score, then missed FG.

then fumbled a damn punt return nt.
remember that time we played UM in the rose bowl?

that was a damn good game. Now, UM not so much.

UM vs OSU

Any offense in the Big Ten?

Not if they can help it
Five

Three-and-outs in a row.

Then Beanie breaks loose for a TD.

UM vs OSU = nap time
mich. seems to have good d

and a piss poor offense

McGuffie dazed after that hit. nt
Who should I root for?

I have three seemingly boring games on tv right now, purdue-indiana/wvu-louisville/michigan-ohio state. Do any of these games have any impact on us at all? Would a win by either wvu or louisville somehow make cincinnati look worse (and therefore ou)? I want to watch football, but I just don’t care about any of these games…

Michigan will hurt USC's SOS

And that could help.

in an extremely roundabout way

I doubt it helps us much.

nevermind, I just woke up

And I misread your post. Disregard previous statement.

Meh...

not sure it matters much anyway

The Abominable Snowman was just on FMC.

I always root for him. Much better than OU or Tech or those others.

Ughhhh

Already disgusted by the Tech-OU coverage.

Vols up 20-0 over Vandy at half

and I have Commodores at 6 confidence in pick ’em. yikes!

Watching nearly 3 quarters of Mich and OSU I have come to two conclusions

1 The ABC trio of announcers need to go away. Bob Griese openly admits during the broadcast he is rooting for Michigan.
2. I can’t believe Michigan fielded a team this year. The whole team should be ruled ineligible.

Ugh

Sounds like i chose wisely to watch Yale vs. Harvard

Today's lineup of games makes for a good cat napping day.
No Kidding.

My girlfriend is trying to figure why I am actually spending time with her on a Saturday.

I am wearing a crimson shirt today

I feel like a whore.

Florida up on Citadel, 42-0 halfway through the second.

Ouch.

Florida Lost to Ole freaking Miss

I love how everybody in the country seems to completely ignore the fact that Florida loss to Ole Miss AT HOME. Its even worse when CBS does a Florida game, Gary Danielson can’t stop talking about “the perfect storm.” He completely ignores the fact that they lost to Ole Miss. They also use the BCS rankings when they have the teams on the scoreboard even though everybody uses the AP Poll. I bet you they will build the SEC championship game as the same as Ohio State vs. Michigan a few years ago. You could make a case that USC has a better resume, so far, than Florida. Their resume is basically the same as USC’s. A dominating win over an average Georgia team just like USC over tOSU. They pummeled a terrible LSU team similar to USC’s win over Oregon.Their resume’s are basically the same except Florida gets a pass to losing to a mediocre Ole Miss while people keep punishing USC to losing to be a pretty good Oregon State team. I hate the SEC and I hate CBS/Gary Danielson even though he is the best color commentator out there.

To me

it doesn’t matter how much he knows about the game if I can’t stand hearing the slurping sounds between tidbits.

why is that the greatest comeback in lsu history?

seems like a joke
they shouldn’t have been in that situation anyways
there shouldn’t be accolades or commercials dedicated to it

HELP

I am in Rome and have sleep all day just so I can watch the game at 2am
Any idea on web links where I could see the game.

On a personal note, I am very disappointed in the Rome Texas Ex’s Chapter.
Every other country from Brazil to Sydney has a great Texas Ex’s Chapter. Renting out pubs to watch games at insane hours. The Rome chapter made no effort to even try to get a party going with a sling box to watch the game.
On a positive note, I have ran into about 20 Texas Ex’s with the same problem
Should have gotten that sling box.

Thanks
J

Try this

Try this website http://www.myp2pforum.eu/ncaa/ Its a streaming link not the best quality in the world but its good enough to watch the game.

this is pretty good quality...

click here. And then go to sports (it is on the right). take your pick of games…

thanks a bunch
no problem

enjoy!!!!

Topless Penn St guys look like they hate their lives.

Airforce 3 ... TCU 10

Which game y’all watching?

washington-washington state

and penn state – michigan state

Ole Miss vs LSU

The rebs up 14-3

Same
Fair catch?

Not sure, had briefly switched my attention to enjoy Notre Dame try to convert a 2nd and 47. They did not.

Jevan Snead is looking down right good thus far.

"Pizza and Pino, nothing quite like it?"

Wine and cheese in the SEC?

Ole Miss guy might have called fair catch

Danielson says LSU pulled up once seeing the call, clearly ignores the first 3 LSU guys that pounded the Ole Miss punt returner

Snead playing Awesome
Jevan...

… just tabbed over to say that myself. Snead is ON. Accuracy and arm-strength look superb. Nice to see him doing well.

wow

apple cup announcers talking about world of warcraft…

penn state up 28-0
two most overrated teams in college football right now

 Michigan State (aka East Lansing Aggy) and LSU both being soundly beaten.

Of course, LSU will lose by 20 today and then beat Arkansas with a fourth quarter comeback next week and get voted back into the top 25.

couldnt LSU be referred to as swamp aggy?
yes

I like that very much.

Now that's funny right there.

I don’t care who you are.

Anybody watching

Miss.-LSU? Wow! Snead just passed Ol Miss length of the field on 3 passes, all perfect and two against excellent coverage

I wonder

if LSU can come back and beat Ole Miss?
I guess this game really goes to show how good the SEC is.
(notice my sarcasm)

I'm calling pick 6 right now
got the pick part right
Don't worry, Jarrett Lee will not let you down.
I love how gary danielson

is so proud of himself for guessing the worst QB in CFB would throw an int.

hey back off

Lee is no Matt Stafford. No one is that perfect.

Ole Miss vs. LSU

Tracy Wolfson

She'll interview Lester at the half. nt whills
wow, as if the qb wasn't bad enough

now the receivers for LSU can’t play

great

now the worst qb in history is hurt

they can't possibly have anybody worse can they?
did you ever see CHad Hutchison?
I bet that wa the only time he was ever applauded coming off the field.
Bring in Perriloux!

Oh wait…NVM

So do they pull the red shirt

that they refused to pull against bama?

makes you wonder why they didn't put him in earlier in the year.
no joke, i was just wondering,

Why didn’t they risk putting him in against bama? the way bama’s D was playing, they could have won that game..

Dont we want LSU to win

So Florida’s SOS wont jump us….but then again it wont matter when they beat Bama in the CG. Go Noles!

Alabama's SOS goes down with LSU loss
are you hoping

for two Big 12 teams in BCS NC game?

I would like a rematch, dont get me wrong…but there’s nothing better than showing the SEC we can play defense. We may not be able to catch a gift wrapped interception, but we CAN play D

the B XII can play D, yes; however what is being forgone in the equation is the much more difficult task of playing solid offense.

there are times when the O’s in the SEC can play with the big boys, however the basis that saying I kept you from doing something when it might not have happened anyway is distasteful. some categories im curious about as far as comparing defenses are

TFL
Sacks
Takeaways
         Fumbles or Int’s
how many 3 and outs per game
drives inside the 20 that dont result in points

im sure there are more, but i cant think of any right now. to me, these are a bigger test to say “we stopped you/prevented your offense from succeeding. perhaps the "good” rb’s might have had a bad game and didnt do well against a particular d or a qb couldnt get going. yds dont really tell a full story of a game.

i'd be terrified to try and match up the speed that Florida has..

but it’d be interesting to see. I do think we’d beat BAMA by 14 at least

Did he just say

Colt McCoy was kicking field goals from 50 out today?

Yes. Explains a great deal.
Im sorry

I was halfway asleep…what did he mean by that?

That he pays no attention to the Big 12 whatsoever
He did.

Getting his Colts crossed? Hitting the Pino early?

David Pino? Huh? nt.
He's having pizza and pino (noir?) evidently
thats why colt's kicking stats are so high on ncaa 09.
That game makes me so angry
yes. Colt David is who he meant?

Like us, all of these guys think about Colt McCoy on Saturdays.

Ole Miss is self destructing.
Wow

Case and point why you NEVER mix Pinot and Pepperoni Lovers before 6
pm.

So

Why couldnt this guy play against alabama? Afraid he would throw 5 interceptions?

and now he retracts

Way to CBS play by play

way to *go* nt
"A successful finish of the 1st half for LSU"

Right….because they’re losing to an unranked team at home. Flashbacks of Troy anyone?

Did they say Lee will be back or he won’t be back?

gone

no coming back

Skin and thinny

awesome

What a kick

by Colt McCoy!

Syracuse

about to get ball back down six with about five minutes left.

Losing to the Orange at home would be beyond comical.

They would have to fire Weiss, no?
tonight. nt whills
Orange Driving

Ball on the 15. 2:45 left.

Score? nt.
ND 23-17

Holding on Syracuse. Would have had the ball on the 5 yd line.

3rd and 7 from the 10 yd line for Syracuse

1 min left.

TD Syracuse

Holy shit.

Touchdown 'Cuse
Extra Point Good

24-23 Syracuse. 42 seconds left.

ND has 0 timeouts.

please keep updates coming.

Gamecast still doesn’t show the TD. Thx.

ND was 19.5 pt favorites

Is Syracuse the worst BCS conference team?

no way they are worse than UW
35 seconds left

ND on 25 yd line

29 left

2nd &10

Notre Dame Quarterback legends are made

Against Syracuse?

Incomplete

3rd down 21 sec left.

Two straight deep balls

two straight incompletes

Imcomplete

4th down and 10. 14 seconds left. Still at their own 25 yd line

Completed down field

Ball on 35 yd line. Spiked ball on 1st down. Now just 5 seconds left.

I don't think their

kicker can get it there from 52. He was just short from 49.

6 texts from Domer buds

in past minute. Total capitulation, perhaps brought on by my smack? Hilarious.

Thanks for the updates, AW and bamfor!

ND 23 Syracuse 24 final
Irish fall to 6-5

and get USC to end season. Unbelievable!

Way to go Greg Robinson.

any idea what the weis buyout would be next season?
ND message board

Says he makes about $3m a year and may have as many as ten years left on his contract. I haven’t verified that though.

i thought the original contract was 10 years

and that was a couple of years ago…

Buyout

He signed a ten year contract in 2005, seven games into the season. Peter King reported in 2007 that the buyout was $21 million but that was referening if an NFL team wanted him. Haha. I’m assuming it would be the same if the University fired him, though.

So are we going to watch the Rice-Marshall game now?

It’s 28-10 Rice with 13:30 left in the 4th

apple cup in OT
you misspelled "crapple"
combined for 1-20 record

must see tv

Does that kicker have a leg brace?
too bad only one can lose

they both want to lose so badly

And a huge reminder

of how much I miss hearing Papadakis voice on a regular basis. Geebus, they should play him over the loudspeakers in Gitmo instead of waterboarding.

I blame the leg brace for the missed kick
The Rebs ahead 28-13
going into 4th quarter
I can't believe I'm watching this
It's a special brand of suckage. nt
Their record is a sparkling 2-10
fans rushed the field
Yet they still storm the field. nt
i'd rush the field if i were a WSU fan

what the hell else do you have to be happy about? i mean really.

free apples for the rest of the year?
Now back to the real game

Rice is ahead of Marshall 28-10 with 7:30 left in the 4th

anybody know any streams of the Utah BYU game? apparently the mtn network isn't free...
wow

it looks like Cal Poly and wisconsin will be going into overtime.

BC just scored

to go up over PB’s Demon Deacons. 22-21 with PAT attempt coming. About a minute remaining.

Lot of $$$ on the line

if you’ve been paying attention to the ESPN Streak thing. 2 guys both have streaks of 23 (you need 25 to win a million). One picked Wake, and the other (along with the majority of the others with high streak numbers) went with BC.

WOW.

Helped me in my pick ’em, which is for an entire steak dinner!

UofH

Scored to go up by 1, went for 2pt conversion, threw a pick ran back for 2pts.

Now down 1.

This day has been amazing.

I'm a liar.

They scored another TD.

The pick2 was still hilarious.

Rebels win

Les Miles doesnt like Ole Miss anymore

How can we have the soonies win tonite and really look bad ?????????
if bradford is seen in a video doing something illegal or questionable
Win 3-0 with FG in Quad-overtime?

And not because of good D, but instead perhaps due to 18 turnovers resulting in a night-long battle between the 40 yard lines?

not likely, i'm afraid

2 of the top 4 teams in the country are going to be on the field tonight. oklahoma hasn’t hiccuped all year. only tech has (against NEB and aggie)

uhh

PB has a new and improved thread open for us, and I’m the last to find out.
