College Football - Week of 11/22

Ole Miss is in line for the Cotton Bowl? I guess that makes sense, but wow.

 

Ole Miss is actually a pretty dang good team now that they have someone on the sidelines who can coach.

 

Orgeron was bringing in awesome talent but made Dusty Baker look like a Hall of Famer. Now that Houston Nutt is there, the awesome talent is developing and producing.

Tech better get their ish together on D, because I can't handle losing to OU again

Yeah, not a real good start for the Red Raiders. I expected OU to win this game, but I've been hoping TTU would keep it close at least.

if we win this game, you can bet everything you own on OSU next week.

Has Notre Dame won 6 games yet?

Fortunately for you, yes, you can watch us get crushed in the Sun Bowl by whoever the hell the Pac-10 feels like sending.

 

unfortunate for ND, actually. Payout, sure, but you're more than likely going to lose your 10th straight bowl game

I really don't care about the bowl streak as much as everyone else does. None of those outcomes really meant anything (I like bowls, but the fact is except for the national title game, none of those outcomes really mean anything - it's about the experience). I'm glad the young players can get another month of practice time before (hopefully) the new coach comes in. That's all I really care about.

 

I actually hope ya'll fire Weiss because I heard a (very unreliable) rumor that ND would then go after Urban Meyer and there would be mutual interest.

 

I'm almost certain it's not the least bit true, but it still made me happy.

 

Oh come now, that rumor went around the last time Notre Dame had a vacancy.

And I was hoping it would happen then, too. Let me dream please. :D

I love this program.

 

Fitz has really molded together a very good defensive unit.

And that was without several key members of the defensive line, our best linebacker, and a starting corner.

 

We're still going to be jumped by Iowa now, though. But if the Big Ten only gets 1 into the BCS, that'll be for the Alamo and we'd go to the Champs. I'm more than fine with that.

my good lord, minnesota is terrible

Pretty sure Tech got screwed out of a catch and a first down there.

“To throw snowballs at their own team, I didn’t think that was a smart thing to do. I guess (they thought) it was funny,” defensive tackle Pat Kuntz said after Syracuse upset the Irish 24-23.

Definitely hard to believe. They havent been worth a ish since Eli's last year in 2003. But they are certainly no joke this year. They beat Florida at Florida and nearly beat Bama at Bama. Houston Nutt is an outstanding coach.

And Nutt was fired by Arkansas just last season . . . #-o

[Butterscup1679666578]

This game could be over here. It's just too hard to win at Oklahoma.

And to be honest, OU is just a lot more talented all around than Texas Tech. That, coupled with being in Norman, is likely too much for the Red Raiders.

I thought he resigned. He had an affair with some reporter up there, and wanted to get away.

Yep, that's what I felt coming into this game. I thought OU's D was good enough to stop Tech's offense, but I didn't think Tech's D could stop OU's offense. So far, that's what we are seeing.

where the hell was this defense in dallas?

[Mephistopheles]

Ole Miss is probably going to enter the 2009 season as the favorites in the SEC West. They are young, equaled Bama head to head and knocked off Florida and LSU. They're a very good football team. They *should* be top 25. They should have been before this week, too.

 

Also, there should be no surprises if Texas Tech continues to get pummeled by the Sooners. This was expected.

He resigned as much as Phil Fulmer, Dusty Baker, Lloyd Carr, etc., etc. resigned. Technically yes, but he was forced out in all honesty.

 

And it wasn't an affair. He just sent a ridiculous amount of text messages to her.

 

Arkansas fans wanted a coach with integrity, so they hired Bobby Petrino. :-))

I didn't really think OU's defense would stop the TTU offense. That's why I thought it'd be close. OU would just play a little better than Tech.

[Mephistopheles]

where the hell was this defense in dallas?

 

I think it has to do with the speed of the defensive ends. The large splits has allowed them to shoot inside. Texas didn't have mile splits, so that wasn't as easy to do. Also, they had no problem getting pressure on McCoy. The problem was that McCoy would get the ball out of his hands within two seconds on a hot route every time. They weren't disguising their rush packages as well as they have thus far against Tech: or at least Texas Tech hasn't recognized it as quickly as the 'Horns did.

You really think they'll be favored over Bama? The Tide is returning quite a few great young players as well.

 

I'd favor Bama by a little, if Nick Saban is still there next year.
