College Football - Week of Nov. 28th

[Andy]

Even though it would result in the predictable (and deserved) catcalls for a completely undeserved bowl bid, I'd like to see ND win this and get a Gator Bowl pick. Because this is the last year the Gator can pick Notre Dame, they're supposedly desperate to take them.

 

But the defense is going to have to step up a bit to make that happen.

[OleMissCub]

OMFG, Houston over Rice 59-0...AT THE HALF

 

they should have a mercy rule

That's what Rice gets for their precious academic standards

[kujay]

Well, Perkins has been looking for reasons to fire Mangino for cause. Although it's not the kind of cause that would get KU out of paying the fat man, he sure gave them plenty of cause to can his stupid ass.

 

Incomprehensible play calling. I am still pissed off.

Not if Stanford continues to ignore ND receivers like that.

I could see Kansas firing Mangino and winding up with a worse coach, though. I can't see many top coaches beating down their door--they'll likely need to scout a relative unknown looking for an opportunity.

[Careless]

Apparently georgia's return team is unclear on the differences between punts and kickoffs

[Smack]

Arkansas / LSU game is a good one.

 

To you Kansas guys, my boss (KU alum) is saying Turner Gill is a possibility. How would you feel about that?

[Warpticon]

Joe Adams is lucky he still has a head. Holy crap.

There's a real chance of getting a worse coach. Absolutely no question about it. But they can't keep Mangino. His total mismanagement of this season aside, there's absolutely no way he'll be able to recruit with the allegations of abuse to players. So he's gotta go.

The pipedream hire is Patterson from TCU. He's from Kansas, so he has ties to the state. But he could get much better BCS jobs than KU, and even if he couldn't, honestly, TCU is a better program.

 

Realistically, I like Gill. Big 12 guy. Allegedly a good recruiter. I think he's from Texas, so he can probably recruit well there. From a personality standpoint, the polar opposite of Mango. I'd also be very interested in Charlie Strong and Kevin Sumlin.

 

After that, I'd be interested in Larry Fedora (Southern Miss).

 

Just say no to Randy Edsall or Venables.

 

Someone on the KU board threw out Frank Solich, too. Interesting idea, but he's gotta be like 1000 years old now.

[E.J.]

Let's see if LSU can leave themselves enough time for a FG this week.

[Warpticon]

the Battle for the Boot has been an amazing series the last several years.

[E.J.]

Someone should teach Notre Dame and Stanford how to play defense.

[Soul]

Geez, that trophy is huge.

[Warpticon]

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[OleMissCub]

Houston needs to knock it off. They have 73 points at the start of the 4th qtr.

Or Rice could actually...........you know...........stop them from scoring.

[Careless]

no, announcer, he could not have crawled to catch that ball in time.

[Soul]

Are you kidding me? I didn't even realize he caught that thing. Great play by Stanford.

 

Tie game now. This is a fun game to watch.

[Careless]

Wow. I don't think he crossed, but I wouldn't have reversed that TD

[Careless]

Great run

This is why bowls should be knocking down Notre Dame's door even though they are only a mediocre team. They have played ridiculously close games all season long and most of them have had tons of big plays and good offense in them. In 9 of their 11 games this year, the trailing team has had the ball trying to take the lead with less than 3 minutes left. Twice those teams have succeeded, 5 times they have failed, and twice the games went into OT. All of those games ended up being decided by 7 points or less.

 

This looks like it will be game #10 that will fit into that exact same pattern. ND could very well lose this game and lose their bowl game, but you can match them up against most teams in the country and they'll give you a really exciting game.

Houston has a history of running up the score. Back in the Andre Ware days they hung 95 on post death penalty SMU. Ended up covering a 59 point spread by 15 points, and they won 6 games by 45+ that year.

[Sosa21MVP]

I don't see much of Stanford usually but man it is fun to watch Gebhart run the ball.
