College Football - Week of 9/27

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Still should not have lost. 4 of the to's were in the first half in which we scored all our points.

 

We wont be bowling this year, and next year the schedule is beyond brutal. I doubt ferentz will make it past that.

the highlight of the game was when my son got lost coming out of the bathroom right before the opening kick and I heard my name on the PA. after picking him up, I got back to my seat with 11 texts and 4 missed calls

[TruffleShuffle]

i'm just gonna go ahead and put the tv on mute so as to not hear that wretched michigan fight song any more.

A 19-point deficit was the 2nd largest comeback in Michigan's history? How is that possible?

Upset Alert

Game of the Week

 

I'd gladly take 1 to 5 on PSU finishing undefeated. I'd love to parlay it with OSU 2 to 19 over Minnesota and ECU 1 to 4 over Houston.

 

While I'm at it, separately, Georgia should beat the crap out of Bama.

 

 

Heh ECU. Not that this means anything, but the last two seasons Tim Tebow is 0-5 when Florida trails at any point in the second half.

[Derwood]

my pick em' picks are all shot to hell, but i'll take all the upsets

Really? So that means their comeback against Minnesota at the Metrodome a few years ago was the biggest? I think they were down 21 points in that game.

Question for Wisconsin fans. How is that Clay guy not getting more carries? He only got 2 carrries that I seen and looked great. There is nothing special about Hill that his offensive line doesnt get him.

Again, that just amazes me. We have two comebacks against Minnesota alone larger than that in the last decade.

Probably because Michigan used to play so close to the vest they didnt get behind by large amounts very often. Even when they were getting hammered by USC in the Rose Bowl a couple of years ago, they only got down by a couple of tds.

[OleMissCub]

State hanging in there against the Tigers so far. I suspect this one will be very ugly before the night is over. However, with the way things have gone so far today, you never know.

[Magnetic Curses]

i have a bad feeling about this game. i don't think illinois comes out on top in this one, just hope that they can hang around until the end and then have a shot.

 

and congrats to omc on the game today.

Bradford has 197 yards passing in the first quarter against TCU

[TruffleShuffle]

i love white outs

[cubweiser03]

Holy Howry, i left Michigan for dead after the first half. The offense was so freaking bad i was laughing on the phone with friends, i wondered out loud how are they are ever going to win 1 or 2 more games this year. The game should of been closer at half except for the fumbles. How this offense turned it around i still cant believe. The defense was really solid and the Dline was stellar against a top notch oline and running game. I actually saw Michigan blitz, bring some heat and remain aggressive with a TD lead and less than 5 to go. Whatta concept.

 

And how the hell does the 2008 Florida/UM game get in this thread. I am so biting my lip and not going off on those comments and that whole season with Michigan. I dont want to clutter this thread but in summary...what you saw in that game was the mother fn howry we had been calling for from LLoyd to do all year and let the offense loose with that talent. /rant

 

Im looking forward to this PSU/Illini game.

[Garwilly]

Lets get at it!

 

I L L !

[Garwilly]

I've always found white outs funny, in that they are cheering against the team wearing all white.

[TruffleShuffle]

i should've bet more money on illinois.

[TruffleShuffle]

illinois did lose their biggest weapon from last year's game - anthony morelli.

[manbearcub]

Holy cow, Alabama is about to go up 24!

[CoolHandLuke]

Wow, was that a hell of a catch.

Those black jerseys are working wonders for Georgia.

[Outshined_One]

I would like to point out that the Badgers are much like the Bears in that, when they get a lead, they often pretend the lead is twice what it actually is.

 

They play not to lose. It's been that way since I was a freshman in '02 and it hasn't changed a damn bit.

[OleMissCub]

State's unbelievably and comical offense scores, but only after TWO turnovers. 17-10 Tigers.
