Thank you very much. I'll be here all day. Help is on it's way in 2007. Why does anyone think this guy is a good QB? Because he is? (I'm assuming you're talking about Quinn.) He played pretty damn good yesterday. His stats were ruined by about 7 drops of perfectly thrown balls, and he was jumping around avoiding sacks all game and still did nothing to lose the game. Not his fault the defense blows and his receivers crapped out in the biggest game of the year.

Week 12: Bears at New England - Sunday, Nov 26, 3 pm CST
Andy replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Other Sports
And you had the power to insult us and cause us to play well...but nooooooooooooo Y'know, I thought about it, but NE was turning the ball over so much I thought that pulling that out might cause a reverse jinx. I'm saving it for truly special occasions. :D -

What a ridiculous game. Sorry Bears fans, I was rooting for you. -
GO RAIDERS!

I said that on Monday night. I know this team too well. For the 2nd time Carolina loses to a team they should've beat against a QB making his first career start. Now they have to win at Philly next week. @$#^@! team.

Carolina blocks a punt with under 30 seconds left in the half and Kasay, who's been so unbelievably reliable, punches a 51-yarder through the uprights at the buzzer to give the Panthers a 6-3 halftime lead.

It seems the coaches agree with you. Do you think the BCS would take a 2-loss LSU over a 2-loss Florida if Arkansas wins the SEC title game? I agree re: the matchup. If LSU's schedule hadn't been so murderous this year maybe they'd have been able to get the SEC title and make the matchup happen. That coaches poll is interesting. I really thought that Arkansas and ND should have dropped about the same amount. Arkansas was closer (although LSU had a nice lead for most fo the second half) but ND was playing a better opponent and was playing on the road, while Arkansas was at home. I'm very surprised to see Arkansas only drop to 8 and ND drop 7 spots-there haven't been many teams in November to drop that far. I've been confused with the polls this year, but it's not that big of a deal I guess. Well, ND was probably going to plummet if they lost at all just because of their recent schedule, similar to how WV plummeted after their loss for the same reason. The score of the game just gave them the excuse to do so. But like you said, as long as they stay top 14, it doesn't really matter.

Hall is terribly overrated. I really don't like him. Panthers take a 3-0 lead. DeAngelo starting this week with Foster still hurt.
-
Not mentioned before, but Ball State clobbered Kent State 30-6 to finish up 5-7 (5-3). First 5-win MAC season since 2002. Not where we were supposed to finish, but a good stepping stone, especially with everyone important except for one Olineman and 3 defensive players coming back.

Please don't. You'll have the ability to still like it that way.

I've never been a fan of owning "player jerseys"

I buy the T-shirts (Ramirez, Lee, Zambrano, Barrett, and Nomar) -
ND was helped tremendously by the fact that the two teams directly behind them also lost. If that hadn't happened they'd be in trouble. As it looks now they'll play the SEC champ in the Sugar Bowl, and I expect either to be a good game (I'd rather play Florida because McFadden scares the ever living crap out of me). Much less likely but still a possibility is a Rose Bowl rematch with Michigan. If everything falls against them they could end up in the Gator Bowl against whoever loses the ACC title game, which better be a win. I think WV's going to clobber Rutgers next week so this will all be pretty much moot then.
-
So I take it you didn't think much of Matt Leinart coming out of USC either, right? Leinart actually won a Heisman and won most of the big games he played in. Quinn can pad his stats against Army and Stanford, but he hasn't won a big game in his career I don't think. Thanks to Ty Willingham, he hasn't played in many.
-
ND losing to Butler doesn't look so bad anymore. :)
-
If you knew Brady's career better you would know how rare the "Beat SC" thing was. The guy doesn't usually let people know what he's really thinking. As for the news conferences, you'd be shocked at the stupidity of some of the SB writers' questions. Trust me, he's gonna be fine.
-
No way. Brady has a fantastic head on his shoulders.
-
I'm guessing you don't watch ND much so it's pointless arguing this. I already made the point that there's not enough talent at ND to contend for a national title yet which you should have seen already. I hope USC brings that game to Glendale. It'll be entertaining if they do.
-
that looks about right, but doesn't GT have a conference chamionship game to get through first? They have no excuse to lose to Wake. Just like WV has no excuse to lose to Rutgers, which is why I put Louisville in there. Grobe and Schiano have done unreal jobs at their schools but GT and WV have too much talent for them in my estimation.
-
Laid eggs? They were outclassed. Their only other games were against second tier programs, so of course they looked better. Come on, man. Laid eggs? Yes, laid eggs. Quinn has thrown 5 INTs all year and 3 of them came against UM. That's a laid egg. Hell he didn't even have any against USC whose D is pretty damn good too. Rhema hasn't dropped passes all year until this game. Freeman looked like crap. USC outplayed ND but that doesn't mean ND played their best game. I give all sorts of credit to UM and USC for playing the way they did in those games, but they weren't responsible for Rhema's not holding onto the football today or for ND's offensive line crapping out in the UM game. The only consolation is that we likely didn't get beat bad enough to fall out of the BCS.

Title: OSU v USC Rose: Michigan v FL/Ark loser Sugar: ND v FL/Ark winner Orange: GT v Louisville Fiesta: Ok/Neb winner v Boise State I don't see any way the Rose picks a rematch over the SEC loser.
-
Keep on losing Detroit. Brady Quinn for silver and blue! Tomorrow the Skins. No excuse not to be 7-4 after that one. Jason Campbell is making his first career start, I think.
-
Considering the fact that Ronny Thompson is miles away from having enough talent to compete on a high level, losing to Kansas 64-46 and to W. Kentucky 76-66 isn't bad at all.
