College Football - Week of 11/15

[UMFan83]

What a boring week of college football.

[Guest]

You know you're a horrible quarterback when you have a 0 to 3 touchdown to interception ratio against winless Washington. And Craft has 7 TDs to 16 INTs on the season.

 

Richard Brehaut can't get to UCLA quick enough.

You made it sound like Washington was winning or something. I had to check the score to make sure they were still losing to set up the ultimate pillow fight next week.

 

Oh, it wasn't that bad or anything (though it was close in the first half).

 

I see I'm not the only one who can't wait for the Apple Cup.

Washington is going to beat the hell out of the Cougars.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

It is really freaking cold in Ames.

 

Jeremy Maclin is so fast he makes fast people look unfast.

[snoodmonger]

So, Truf, how excited are you to watch the BC/FSU game? ... lol

 

(I could be wrong, but don't you despise BC? I know you do FSU ...)

 

Truffle hates everything. And everyone hates FSU.

 

I like FSU

 

Yeah, but you're inhuman Jayhawk scum.

 

 

Bill Self and I are wondering where all the vitriol is coming from.

Oregon was up 48-17 on Arizona but now they're only up 48-45. Crazy game.

 

Hopefully one of the two can knock off Oregon State. I want no part of an Oregon State-Penn State rematch in the Rose Bowl.

why not? it might actually be a good game since the big ten is such a joke.

[Derwood]

so, are Oklahoma fans preparing themselves for the fact that they could be a top 10 BCS team at season's end and NOT play in a BCS game?

[Mephistopheles]

im pretty sure half the skill players on florida could make maclin look not all that fast. especially demps, rainey or thompson.

It's a wonder what getting rid of Ed Orgeron and bringing in a real coach will do for a team.

No kidding. Talk about a complete buffoon.

Has anyone sat and compiled Percy Harvin's rushing numbers for his career?

 

176 rushes for 1668 yards and 16 touchdowns. That's 9.5 yards per carry. For comparison some people think Javon Ringer is a top 10 heisman guy for his rushing season this year. He has 353 carries. That's twice as many. He has 120 fewer yards. Yo.

 

FWIW: Florida moved up in the Sagarin BCS poll and is expected to jump two spots to #2 in the colley bcs poll. if they make a one point gain in all the computers (well not in the one that gets dropped i guess) they'll move ahead of Texas to #3 in the BCS.

No because nobody gives a damn about Percy Harvin, or Florida.

I will never actually wager on Washington State, but I doubt it will be that lopsided.

Notre Dame should've won 34-7 if Charlie Weis had just not been 'respectful' and purposely not scored when we had the ball on Navy's 3 with ten minutes to go. I hope this ridiculous refusal to do anything remotely close to running up the score, ever, on anyone, stops now because it damn near cost us a game yesterday.

 

And Navy got 4 timeouts in the second half and also were beneficiaries of a made-up 'illegal forward batting' penalty on a bat that was neither illegal nor forward that Robby Parris did on one of Navy's onside attempts. AND the pass they caught at the 1 to set up a TD, in addition to originally being called a score even though the ref was standing right there and the receiver didn't come within a yard of the end zone, was caught with no feet in bounds. I don't know if I've ever seen officials openly defy the rules of football so much in an attempt to get someone a win as they did with Navy.

 

I hope Michael Floyd is ok. Hurt in the 1st quarter and didn't return. We're completely impotent without him.

 

People that need to be fired if not physically beaten: offensive line coach John Latina and special teams coach Bryan Polian. Dear lord, please get them out.

Liking FSU is way worse than anything KU-related.

the one that was caught with no feet in bounds? the guy's toe landed in bounds, then the heel came down out of bounds. i don't think that should count as a catch, but it was ruled a catch in penn state's 2005 loss to michigan. i have no idea if that's the right call, but i've seen it reviewed and upheld before.

 

i think you might be wrong on the illegal batting penalty too.

 

by the way, you know notre dame is lousy when they need to bitch about the refs (and insinuate that the refs were trying to get a team a win, which is even more mind-boggling) to justify a close win over navy.

None of it would've happened if Charlie would quit taking his foot off the gas too early. No one's asking him to be Steve Spurrier, but for chrissake, ten minutes left when you're up by 20, even against a team that can't pass, is NOT appropriate time to be taking the starters out.

 

The refs were abysmal, but it shouldn't have mattered if we didn't have a coach going way too far trying not to embarrass anyone in the few games we're actually in a position to do so.
