Toledo almost took out Ohio State, too. What a nutty game that was.
I always have a hard time in that game; I grew up in Toledo and its my hometown. Hard to say who to root for.
Poor Penn State... not much to say there.

The ending to the Michigan v. Notre Dame game was among the most exciting I've ever seen. And I'm not even a fan of either team.

Yep that game was nuts.
Also, my Dawgs are terrible as expected.

I love the fact that Mack Brown chose to have his spring quarterback competition against a decent BYU team. Seriously, after Garrett Gilbert (inevitably) got the yank he didn't have his second stringer lined up? Jeez.
Oh, and Georgia better fire Richt. Possibly even before the year is over.

The year is over for me and the Dawgs. Hell it was over after we lost to Central motherfucking FLORIDA in the bowl game and they didn't fire Richt in the offseason after going 6-7

Helluva trip. The Penn State fans were the most accomodating and genuinely nice people I've ever tailgated with - class all the way around. Great game, great atmosphere - truly what college football should be about. McCarron looked awesome - kid is going to be special. Saban throttled back the jets in the second half, otherwise the feeling was the game could have gotten pretty ugly. I am DYING to see a replay of the hit #3 (Vinnie Sunseri) put on guy that outweighed him by about 100 pounds on the punt return that sprung Maze for about 50 yards. (Edit: found it. at 1:14 exactly) Got back to the hotel to see the end of the ND/UM game. HOLY CRAP. |

Hah. While I'm thinking about it- tailgating with Mormons is fun. I didn't know that many of them were lushes.

Q: Why do you always take two Mormons fishing?

USC was fun. They tailgate like nobody's business (never seen so many Sat dishes hooked up to 46 inch tv's in tents in my life). Lots of hotties too. Watching a game in the Colosseum is cool but their band and cheerleaders (not the sweater-puppy song girls, the male cheerleaders) are ANNOYING AS FUCK. They play that shitty refrain after every single play and the cheer guys (WITH FREAKING MICROPHONES) chant "beat the utes" in a monotone every 45 seconds. Seriously, its psychological torture.
Utes fought hard and really should have won, but oh well.

Cincy gave UT fits the first half, but the Vols outshot them. Plus Cincy seemed to wear down. Tyler Bray and Tauren Poole were stars. Props to Cincy, they have a great program there.
Georgia. Ugh. That program is dying just like my Vols did in the last couple years of the Fulmer era. Richt has lost it. Time to drive UGA 'out to the country to live on a farm'.

It's painful to admit that we can't even win games we should win. We had the SC game won about 5 times over, but we lost it 6 more. |

I didn't watch a lot of the game, but GA seems to have good players, but they're their own worst enemy.

Where were you tailgating? The two games I went to were relatively lame, but then again my father-in-law probably doesn't know the right places to go to. |

So more crazy realignment stuff going on today. As far as I can tell from reading through internet shit, OU and Texas ADs met and it sounds as if OU really wants to bolt to the Pac ?. Texas doesn't sound too thrilled about that option, probably due to the LHN. The Longhorns are seriously considering going independent because of the shenanigans, which seems like the most fuckall stupid thing they could possibly consider. This is one time where I think the UT arrogance is really going to bite them in the ass if they don't watch it.

I hope it does bite them in the ass. They need to drop the LHN thing before it gets them in trouble. It's been nothing but a problem and lightning rod since they put it in, and they don't need that money.

Yeah, Scott sounds pretty firm that they have to be part of our TV plan if they want in the Pac-whatever. Which I really don't want.
The only upside to it as far as I'm concerned is we could have the original Pac-8 all in a division together and then all the landlocked people in the other one, but that still doesn't make up for the bullshit idea of Texas in the Pac-X, they already stole one Rose Bowl, no more!

Well, with the inevitable expansion that is coming down the pike I personally like Texas and Oklahoma to the Pac 12+. The style of play fits and it would bring some additional firepower to the conference. I'm not super enthused about Big Ten or Independent. Too much cold weather in Big Ten country.

The game sucks so far. Defensive and nobody is making conversions inside the 30.

Still trying to figure out wtf Miles was doing calling for a pass up 10 with 9 minutes left. And a deep pass rather than a move-the-chains pass. But it worked out. And LSU's def made a statement again. This schedule may do me in at the end. Soooo tempting to make the jaunt to Morgantown next week. |

I'm not an LSU fan, but I love Les Miles. He's a ballsey dude and a quote machine. I hope you guys win the title.

We will go as far as the defense will take us... one bad game and the offense has no shot to make up the difference. |

So tonight is the "Holy War" game that is now in September since we left those douches in the dust in going to the PAC-12. If you want to see an easy example of why I hate BYU with the heat of a thousand suns, here is their coach on Thursday (and no this isn't made up): "As I stood in front of the Cougar Club (Thursday), it felt like I was in front of the Pharisees and the Sadducees," he said. "Sometimes what play is called on third-and-20 is more important (to them) than what we're trying to do here. My hope is that you support us with your heart as you try to find what's most important in life and see the bigger picture, and join us in that purpose." Yup, that's him comparing himself to Jesus and calling his own booster club his persecutors because he takes criticism sometimes about his offense. It's apparently really all about converting people to the LDS religion through losing football games, or something. |

I think you're in for a war as well in that game Ab. Close, ugly and the last man holding the ball will have a chance to win it.

Depends on if our O-line can get its shit together. If it can I think the Utes will stomp them. If not, it will be a slog.

For sure. I'm bummed the overlap. Will have to be watching split PIP on both games.

Clemson versus Auburn. Fuck that's a shitty game. I want everyone to lose. Or whoever wins loses their starting QB for the year due to an ACL injury. That would work.
