2008 NCAA Football Thread

[Easy Bakes 253]

I looked and could not find last years. It may have been lost inthe unspeakable troubles earlier this year.

Looks to be another  wierd season.

#1 USC

#4 Florida

#9 Wisconson

all lost today/this week

and #3 Georgia is down 31-0 to Alabama as we type

college football has become the most incredible sport in the world IMO. It now has parity, but the traditional powers usually overcome. However, the way the season starts makes it more interesting for fans of second tier schools like me. I doubt last season would have been any where near as fun if BC didnt make it up to #2 and didnt reach the ACC title game.

yesterday, the georgia and michigan games were incredible.

MCGUFFIE!

I switched over to the LSU game when Bama was Up 31-0

LSU & Oklhoma should move up to 1&2

[Easy Bakes 253]

Lots of Upsets this week

Texas beats OU 45-35 not a real upset but OU was #1.

#3 Missouri loses

#4 LSU loses

#13 VAnderbuilt loses

#20 Auburn loses

Expect Texas to jump #1 with Alabama not playing, and #1,3 and 4 losing.

Tech to #5?

Edit: How could i forget Michigan loseing to toledo, IS that worse then last years loss to

Appalacian State?

[patriots_1228 51]

Toledo mud hens.

LOL.

[ryannayr140 2]

apilacian state isnt even in their division so no it is not as big still sad because toledo is like the worst college in their division

I watched some of the OU v. Texas game, and it was awesome. I love college football. I've missed so much this year, and when I watch a game like that I kick myself for sleeping in. I need to quit one of my jobs....

[Easy Bakes 253]

#9  and Undefeated BYU falls to local heroes TCU 32-7

TCU (7-1) should appear in the rankings next week around 15-19

[hawkpride147 1]

finally byu plays a real opponent and gets their backsides handed to them...overrated is what they were...where's the love for the frogs? their loss? to then number 1 and current number 4 oklahoma...

[Easy Bakes 253]

No upsets this week.

Unless you count the 17th , 18th,21st and 25th teams losing.

[djrules5454 5]

Gophers (Minnesota) crack top 25!

[Easy Bakes 253]

TCU got to 14

Texas Tech wont stay up ther to long, To many tough teams to play this year.

Their next 4

At # 23 Kansas

#1Texas at Home

 #6 Oklhoma State at home

At #4 Oklahoma

Got to be the toughest  schedual in the whole NCAA

Go  RED RAIDERS

[patriots_1228 51]

BC beat #17 VT, moved into the rankings at #23.

Interesting thing in the ACC.

Three teams left the rankings, VT, wake, and UNC.

Three teams entered the rankings, BC, FSU, and georgia tech [not sure, might have been a different than GT]

[Easy Bakes 253]

All Texas All the time

Texas, TCU and Tech roll this week

Tech 8-0 for 1st time since 1938.

Michigan not so much. 2-6 Ouch.

[hawkpride147 1]

yet Tech still receives little respect...the only program in the nation without a losing season for the past 14 years i believe...they pound kansas harder than oklahoma did and OU is still ahead...maybe if we beat Texas, we'll make it up to number 4...

[Easy Bakes 253]

I was supprized they rolled up that much on Kansas, I was expecting the same results we get every year, we manhandle the spares and get beat by any one good.

This year will be different, I think they can beat OU thier defence is terrible, Texas im not sure about they are realy realy good this year.

[hawkpride147 1]

Texas will have loads of trouble with Tech...Texas ranks 111th in the nation in pass defense...Tech is somewhere in the top 5 in passing offense...so we know the Horns won't be able to stop the Raiders...but what we don't know is will the Raiders be able to stop the Horns?...everyone was talking about Kansas having a pretty stout defense and Tech made it look like there was no one defending them. Everyone was worshipping Kansas' offense...Tech's first team only allowed 14 points...sounds like the Raiders are real and the Horns should be scared...Tech destroyed Kansas on the road...now they get Texas at home...it's gonna be fun!!!

[masochist 111]

I can't wait for this one!  Tech will dominate, absolutely!

EasyBakes...I'm stealing your Double-T icon.

ESPN College Game Day will be in Lubbock,TX ( home of Buddy Holly) for the 1st time ever.

for the biggest game Texas Tech has ever played.

All you P1s get your Lee Corso signs ready. ( A dallas inside joke)

Saturday 8PM central time  on ABC for good football action.

[BuggUla 405]

Another big and crazy day in store for football... I enjoy the upsets. I wonder how TTech will do...

[Easy Bakes 253]

Just watched Wisconson blow a game at Michigan State.

They call a time out with 10sec or so left which gave MSU time to get a proper field goal set.

Idiots

[masochist 111]

Lubbock will pretty much be shut down for four hours. There's a huge crowd of people camped outside the stadium...so many, in fact, that the dwelling has a name: Raiderville. The parking lot of Jones AT&T Stadium has more people living there right now than any single suburb of Lubbock (actually, Lubbock only has a single suburb...).

[Easy Bakes 253]

Game onnnnnnnn

NOW !

UPDATE

19-0 Tech  9minutes left in  half 

[BuggUla 405]

LOVING IT!!!!!!

[Easy Bakes 253]

Pick for 6 And the Crowd goes nuts

[Easy Bakes 253]

OH MY GOD 

What  a game 39-33 TECH WINS

Crabtree is Awesome.

They will need new goal posts now at Jones Stadium

And benches.  Again ....

Nothing, NOTHING was like watching that game!  I couldn't be there, because everyone else requested that day off to go so I got stuck at work, but I work at a Main Event (billards, bowling, laser tag, mini golf and a bar and cafe all under one roof), and they have HD TV's and projector screens all over the place, so I wasn't in the worst place in the world to watch it, to say the least.  And with all the people that came out to watch (both UT and Tech fans), there was a lot of energy all night.

The last minute and a half, the place was still...the managers were all watching the game, we were all watching, everyone stopped bowling...then that last catch, and it erupted!  People were running around, employees jumping up and down hugging each other.  If some little kid got trampled, no one noticed...it was amazing!  When it was over, I could walk out into the parking lot and hear the fans at the stadium about a mile away.

It was without a doubt the best game of college football I have ever been fortunate enough to witness (keep in mind that I missed that OU-Boise St. bowl game a year or two ago).  Definitely the biggest in our school's history.  500th win for the school, 9-0 for the first time in nearly 70 years, first time ever defeating a #1 team, etc.  Amazing, and that doesn't quite say it.

Of course, now we have two other top 10 teams to look out for, including an excellent-looking Sooners team that'll be looking for revenge for that upset last year when we beat them late in the season and took them out of the championship race.
