Today's College Football Thread (10/27)

[fishwax]

Today should be a great day for college football. There are four games today between ranked teams:

#14 Texas Tech at #3 Kansas State
#2 Florida vs. #10 Georgia (in Jacksonville, FL)
#5 Notre Dame at #8 Oklahoma
#11 Mississippi State at #1 Alabama

I’m most looking forward to the OU-Notre Dame game. I wish I could be in Norman for that one—should be fun.

So who does your team play? What games are you looking forward to?

1. apparently there's a game here in town today

Everyone is wearing either red and black or blue and orange....Oh yes it's the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party. Go Dawgs.

I live just across the river from the stadium and cant wait to hear it rocking and rolling this afternoon. I will be watching from my recliner however.

[fishwax]

6. I'd like to see that game sometime

I think Georgia has a great shot at the upset

[NightWatcher]

29. Woof Woof Woof, Dawgs win 17-9 in a tough defensive game

[Go Vols]

2. UT

S.Car. will likely beat my team today.

I will prolly take Miss.St. and 23.5 against Ala. on my big bet today.

[fishwax]

7. I see they're still in the game at the start of the fourth quarter

Just got the touchdown, too, so who knows?

Is this going to be Dooley's last season if they can't turn things around? I guess even if they don't win today, they should have a chance to win all their next four ...

15. Ouch

His lower leg is out of place

***Graphic Warning*** - for those who found the Theismann injury tough to watch

[OriginalGeek]

3. Just waiting for FSU to take on Duke

I'm confident but never take anything for granted.

I hate to root for the gators but I want them as highly ranked as possible when FSU meets and beats them at the end of the season.

[fishwax]

9. Duke is having a good year, but I don't see how they'll be able to move the ball against FSU

Mark Stoops's defense will shut them down, I think.

[OriginalGeek]

37. That they did!

I know some folks like exciting games and I agree when it's teams I don't care about but when it's MY team, I'm partial to the romp.

A good start to a great football weekend for me.

[grasswire]

4. QUACK!

Ducks at noon pacific time. Can't wait. But I forgot to buy my obligatory bag of cheetos. That's the only day I can have that nasty snack food or chips. Damn.

The coach's motto: Win The Day.

[smackd]

5. abomination

I've pretty much given up

this team (and COACHES) needs an enema

[smackd]

10. I will be shocked...

...if we win another game this season. shocked I tell you.

[fishwax]

14. yeah, I don't know what to say about that one, smackd

They'd've won handily if they'd taken care of the ball in Kansas territory, but as it was it looked pretty ugly. Still, as someone who has made the trip up to Lawrence only to see his team lose (in horrible and embarrassing fashion), at least it's a win. Next four games will be tough, though. Especially the road games.

8. U of Arizona to stomp the Trojans :

Bear Down, Arizona!

[fishwax]

17. Here's hoping they can pull off the upset

[Ptah]

22. Is USC any good this year?

USC 28
UofA 32

[petronius]

23. My remote is really not enjoying this! I want to watch

Florida and USC lose at the same time - it's a spatio-temporal quandary...

[Ptah]

24. I did not know that Florida had a football team.

[fishwax]

25. 39-36 now ... looks like a good finish

USC hasn't beaten a team with winning record yet this year.

[Ptah]

27. Arizona wins it!

Down goes USC!
Down goes UCS!
Down goes USC!

[petronius]

28. Don't scare people! It's 39-36, and final now. Arizona wins it!

[fishwax]

33. whoops! Don't know how I typed that

[ThoughtCriminal]

41. U of A - almost always fun to watch

Glad to see them come out of one of these shootouts with a big win!

[grasswire]

11. Ducks 56 - Colorado 0 end of first half

That's my Ducks!

[fishwax]

13. ouch!

[JonLP24]

12. UCLA w/ a 4-point halftime lead

After an offense explosion in the 1st quarter, it's been a strong defensive performance by both teams in the second quarter. UCLA took the lead following an interception at Arizona State's 5 w/ about a minute left in the first half.

[fishwax]

18. I started watching that game, but then

I fell asleep. Not because of the game itself, I just didn't get a good enough night's sleep last night. Then I got distracted by a couple of other games, but I'm going to try to follow the rest of this game now. I hope ASU can come back. I thought they would win this game, but I guess both teams are still a little hard for me to figure out this year.

[fishwax]

19. Sun Devils take the lead!

[fishwax]

21. d'oh!

Tough ending, Jon. They gave up a bit too much real estate on those last couple of plays -- turned a long field goal into a short one.

[JonLP24]

46. I missed the second half

because I was out-and-about which is probably a good thing.

Tough to say, but Arizona winning helped out Arizona State a lot today. It keeps them in the race for the division crown.

The loss to UCLA bumped Arizona State from the #1 spot in opponent yards per pass attempt down to #4

[mnhtnbb]

16. WOW!! UNC (Tar Heels) took NC State in the last few seconds on a game winning punt return

by Gio Bernard. Final score: UNC 43 NC State 35


Carolina Blue beats Red. Could this be an omen?!?

[fishwax]

26. sounds like an exciting game!

I missed it all, unfortunately.

[Joey Liberal]

20. GO IRISH!

Couldn't get to the game in Norman (not far from me), but I'll be watching on TV!

[fishwax]

32. Game is underway!

[a la izquierda]

30. BOOMER! SOONER!

I have to go to a party where the hosts will watch baseball. We will not stay long.

[fishwax]

31. lol -- yeah, hurry back to a friendly telly -- it's going to be fun!

BOOMER SOONER!

[a la izquierda]

40. Ugh this game.

[fishwax]

43. yep. There's always next year, a la izquierda. Until then, I've got some beer to soften the blow.

[a la izquierda]

44. Yeah, but that's the problem...

That's what we hear every damn year.

Cheers, I'm going to bed.

[fishwax]

45. Well said. That's the problem.

Yeah, that's it in a nutshell. Because this was supposed to be next year, too.

[fishwax]

34. Notre Dame up 10-6 at halftime

Oklahoma needs to do a better job of running the ball. Defense is playing pretty well.

[Ptah]

35. I like Mike Stoops. He didn't quite get it done at Arizona,

but he gave everything he could.

If Gronkowski had been able to play.



If only.

[fishwax]

36. yeah, I thought he was going to put it together there, but just never quite did

It's helped our defense, though, having him back

[ThoughtCriminal]

38. Auburn

It's hard to pick a "Smilie"

[Logical]

39. KState is the real deal this year!

[fishwax]

42. Congrats to Notre Dame -- they got a big win tonight

I'm'a gonna have to step away from this thread for a while, though
