I know it's been said before, but these uniforms are hideous.

Also...

Can Cincy keep this up in Columbus? 13-7 Buckeyes at the half.

[samikeyp]

no....20-7 OSU

[johngateswhiteley]

ohio state always plays teams fairly close. they are not a high scoring team, never have been really. they control posession and grind it out over teams. cincy has NO chance to win that game.

Correct. After all, Tressel's the guy that said that the punt is the most important play in football.

[sa_butta]

Auburn moves up to #2

[Horry For 3!]

Oregon scores a TD

[Horry For 3!]

OU has 45 secs to make a FG or TD

[scott]

Make that two of the worst replay calls I've ever witnessed.

[scott]

Take That You Fuckshit Officials

[Horry For 3!]

OU just runs it down :lmao

[sa_butta]

Texas Tech with only 113 yards passing, they should be at around 350 at the half the way they throw the ball around.

[Horry For 3!]

Make that two of the worst replay calls I've ever witnessed.
Just the 1st one was horrible.

[Horry For 3!]

2 secs left, FG time

[scott]

Make this kick and send those fucking officials crying to their bookies.

[Horry For 3!]

That would suck if he missed this, 44 yrder is not a given though

[scott]

Just the 1st one was horrible.

The second one was also horrible, unless the Oregon QB knows how to throw a ball that changes from a spiral to a duck in mid flight.

[Horry For 3!]

Damnnnnn, blocked

[scott]

Fucking bullshit. Officials beat OU today, and there is no question about it.

[Horry For 3!]

Poor OU, lost to a freakin Pac-10 team

[Horry For 3!]

Fucking bullshit. Officials beat Oregon today, and there is no question about it.
You mean beat OU?

[scott]

Yeah... that's how pissed I am, I can't even think straight.

[Horry For 3!]

Texas and Oklahoma now both have 1 losses. Except Texas lost to the #1 team in college football and Oklahoma lost to the #18 team in college football.

[spyder]

damn that sucks

[scott]

Texas and Oklahoma now both have 1 losses. Except Texas lost to the #1 team in college football and Oklahoma lost to the #18 team in college football.

In other news, the sky is blue.

[sa_butta]

In other news, the sky is blue.In addition 2+2 still equals 4.

[Horry For 3!]

In other news, the sky is blue.
Awww, poor scott. At least you get to watch the Cowboys tomorrow?

[Brutalis]

I'm not fan of the Sooners but damn that is the most cheatingful game in college football I have ever witnessed.

That Pac-10 ref should be suspended.

What Oregon did after that shit call was nice though. But OK should have rightfully won this game.

[Brutalis]

Texas and Oklahoma now both have 1 losses. Except Texas lost to the #1 team in college football and Oklahoma lost to the #18 team in college football.
And? You play any good team on any good day you can get beat. There is no point here. A loss is a loss there is nothing more to say about it.

[Horry For 3!]

It means UT and OU will both have 1 loss when they meet.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Man there's no love lost for me towards OU, but they got hosed by that Pac-10 officiating crew, two straight horrible replay review calls, and that's the game.

[Horry For 3!]

WTFFFFFFF, that USC RB ankle got fucked up, it was like crooked

[Horry For 3!]

That was nasty, the announcers didn't really notice it but that shit was like McGahee knee type of stuff. Your foot goes straight, his was sideways.

[Horry For 3!]

Rice 1st teamers finally scored... against Texas' 3rd teamers :lol

[Duff McCartney]

Oklahoma was robbed in that game. That was bullshit...plain and simple.

[j-6]

Texas Tech with only 113 yards passing, they should be at around 350 at the half the way they throw the ball around.

I just got back from this game. TCU's D really stepped it up today but Tech only threw deep three times all game, and one was a Hail Mary at the end of the 4th. Tech finally broke 200 yards passing in that last series of the game. TCU did what Cal tried to do last season in their bowl game - stay in the dime damn near the whole game but only have one guy covering the deep ball. Also, maybe there's something to Leach starting that endless procession of seniors at QB in years past, because Harrell didn't have a quick enough trigger. He had open guys within range, wasn't particularly hurried until the middle of the fourth quarter, and he flat out couldn't get it done.

Amon Carter's a pretty cool place to watch a game, if any of you guys get a chance.

edit - The Cal - Tech game was two years back.

[FromWayDowntown]

Oklahoma had plenty of opportunity to stop Oregon and win that game, but the call on the onside kick was about the most ridiculous blown replay call I've ever seen. Whether the 2nd call was or wasn't correct is irrelevant, because Oregon should have never had the ball. The Sooners should have done a better job defensively after the bad call and they have bad execution to blame for the loss, not officiating. But the call was horrendous.

Had a call like that one gone against the Longhorns, this forum would be littered with posts offering virtual mushroom clouds.

Yeah, I was going to say that Cal got pretty well lit up by Tech in the Holiday Bowl and I don't know that too many squads would emulate the defensive notions the Bears used in that game.

Alabama's defense, however, was fantastic against Tech's offense in the Cotton Bowl. I didn't see the Tech-TCU game, but I suspect that the Frogs tried to copy the Alabama script.

[Horry For 3!]

Clemson finally beats Florida State at Florida State since 17 years.

[Bob Lanier]

Good job Clemson.

[Horry For 3!]

3 Top 10 teams go down today.

#2 Notre Dame
#6 LSU
#9 Florida State

[Horry For 3!]

Also, if Tennessee is able to beat Florida then it would be 4 Top 10 teams.

[Horry For 3!]

:lmao @ A&M goin crazy cause they barely beat Army by 4 points and Army was 3rd n goal

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Wow. We (A&M) deserved to lose that one. Piss poor coaching job by Fran, as usual.

[Trainwreck2100]

That was a good ending but what was that last play call?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

A&M goin crazy cause they barely beat Army by 4 points and Army was 3rd n goal

The only thing they are going crazy about is overcoming some shitty coaching to pull out a game that shouldn't have been anywhere near as close.

[mookie2001]

if fraudchione would have lost this one, they might have canned his ass midseason, verbals for 07 are backing out, younger players put in their transfer papers, this could have easily been the end of aggy football

[j-6]

I think you can make an argument that Franchione is currently the worst D-1A head coach in Texas.

The others?

Mack Brown, UT
Guy Morriss, Baylor
Mike Leach, Tech
Gary Patterson, TCU
Phil Bennett, SMU
Mike Price, UTEP
Darrell Dickey, North Texas
Art Briles, UH
Todd Graham, Rice

FWD - yeah, I meant Bama. Tech scored damn near 50 against Cal.
