I was just about to post that!!

Perfect timing since I just posted this on page 8:
Karma's a bitch!

I <3 Bobby Knight. He is such an ass!

You guys are funny, acting like you'd be all cool if the refs had hosed Oregon. I'm calling major BS on that.

I'm sure I'd be pissed, but I'm also sure I'd be rational enough realize my team didn't lose because of ONE call.

Agreed. Anybody that actually played sports will tell you that the refs never truly decide a game. You're more pissed at yourself for being in the position to let the officials influence the outcome in any way.

At the risk of getting back on topic...

Not nearly as many big games this weekend. The only games between ranked opponents are Cal v. ASU and Penn State v. OSU. OSU should have little trouble with Penn State. I don't have a good feel for Cal v. ASU. Cal looked horrible in their opener and still has no QB, but ASU has looked very ordinary against some really bad teams. Frankly neither has done much to warrant a top 25 ranking at this point.

One game of particular interest to me is actually Idaho v. Oregon State. Dennis Erickson, who won a couple of NC's with Miami and brought OSU from pathetic to top 5 with a BCS win over Notre Dame, has gone back to his roots and is now once again the head coach of the Idaho Vandals. While I'm sure Erickson will eventually get Idaho up to solid mid-major status, the team certainly isn't there yet. But Oregon State is very bad this year and Boise State provided everybody with a blueprint of how to beat them - stack the box and make them throw to beat you (they have a horrible passing offense). It will be interesting to see if Erickson can come up with a win in his big homecoming.

In most cases I'd agree. This time, no. If that one call is made correctly, game's over.

So we'll agree to disagree.

I have one final statement to make.

The refs weren't playing defense on that last UO drive. They weren't playing offense leading up to the last FG try for OU. The refs didn't look like this ( ):

It's great to be a Florida...

Michigan State - you suck. You had a piss-poor team dead to rights, and you couged it. When you lead 31-14 in the 3rd quarter, at home, in the rain, and lose, you have a very bad coaching staff.

As I understand it, ND needs only one more win to lock-up a BCS bowl.

In other news, Idaho got blasted by a terrible Oregon State. Erickson may be a good coach, but his team sucks. ASU got blasted by Cal. Losing 15 backs in 3 games is starting to catch up to SC. The damn Fuskies won.

Congrats to OU and Tech for bringing back respectability to the Big-12 with the stirring wins over Middle Tenn. State and Southeastern Louisiana.

Nah. They still have to finish in the top 8 of the BCS rankings to automatically qualify for a BCS game; top 12 to be in the consideration for one, per the new deal.

What sucks the most, though, is if they don't go to a BCS bowl game, then they are eligible to the first Big East bowl game available, provided they are bowl eligible. Which means conceivably a 6-6 Notre Dame team could go to the Gator Bowl ahead of an 11-1 Louisville or West Virginia team, since having Notre Dame pretty much guarantees a bowl game will sell out its tickets & TV advertisements. BUT, Notre Dame does not have to share their bowl game $$ with anyone... Essentially, they get the benefits of the Big East Conference, without having to pay a bloody cent. Which frankly, is the biggest crock of shit I've ever seen...

I know - it was just a domer flame on my part.

In other news, Oregon dropped 1 spot to 14 in the AP poll, still at 12 in the Coaches. Both ahead of the pOUters.

Go Hawks! This weekend Iowa vs. OSU it will be glorious.

GO BUCKS!

Oh, it's on!

I just got back from Vegas. Kind of mad that I pushed on the Notre Dame game, but I was lucky enough to get that.

As far as Tech goes... we're back baby! NCAA finally allowed our stud receiver to be eligible (seriously, take your time NCAA :rolleyes: ), just in time for the game that will make or break our season. He only had 3 catches for 59 yards and a touchdown, but he didn't play much in our blowout against a some school of the blind team. Next up, the Aggholes... errr Aggies. We would normally blow them out every year, but it's a different story when we play them at their house, home of the 12th man. There's talks of moving this game to Dallas every year in which case, we may never lose to them. Anyway, if we win, Franchione may be on his way out.



BTW, at Georgia! Tough game against those mighty Buffs.

More random, but good pictures...

In celebration of the annual A&M-Tech game...
