I agree
The blonde is hot. The brunette, while having a nice bod, should consider braces, a new hair stylist and a board certified cosmetic surgeon.

Upon closer inspection
It looks like those are bruises in there. Does that connote a certain amount of intensity in the horizontal mambo?
Dag, and now they air the preview to the segment about the beaver players not shaving and some dude says his girlfriend is retaliating by not shaving herself; ’she’s got armpit hair now…{giggle}’ Can’t defend those beavers now….

morning everyone
So how are we all cheering for today?
I haven’t decided if i want USC or OrSU in the rose bowl yet. I think i’m going to cheering for OrSU.
I think it's obvious:
Oklahoma State over Oklahoma (not likely now that I saw a stat that this is the most lopsided of all the rivalry games; OU leads by like 79-16 or something ridiculous like that)
Auburn over Alabama
Florida State over Florida
Notre Dame over USC (Yeah, like that’s going to happen. Weiss is done. Guess you ain’t so hot when you ain’t got Tom Brady and you’re not taping the other teams practices and stealing plays).
I’m still holding out hope for playing January 8. I know I sound like a spoiled little child, and I definitely don’t want to go back to the dark years, but a Big Ten title doesn’t impress me as much as a national championship. I grew up rooting to be #1, not going to the Rose Bowl.
I really don’t know what to think of playing USC or Oregon State again. On the one hand, we should have an easier time with the Beavers, and to finish 12-1 and a top 5 finish would be just great. On the other hand, it would be great to play USC and hand them their asses. USC is good, but they ain’t that fucking great. Who have they beaten that’s of any consequence. Remember, the Fuckeyes were rotating QB’s and didn’t have Beanie Wells.
I agree with you
about cheering for us getting to the Nation Title. As for the Rose Bowl i’ll be cheering for OrSU. But not cuz it’ll be an easy win for us. I’ll be cheering for them cuz of how it will hopefully set up next year. With them forcing those Jerks from Columbus to play in the Cap1 bowl and bumping all the big 10 teams down a level we can score a really good bowl record and really turn the tide on this “the big 10 is down” talk.
The fact is,
an OrSU / PSU rematch is the biggest lose / lose for us since the F$U Orange Bowl. If we smoke them again, so what? If we win close, it appears we’ve taken a step back. If we get clipped, we suck, and the Big 10 blows. Those are the options, folks.
We absolutely need USC. Critically. Honestly, I don’t give a damn about any other Big Televen bowl results this year; those guys are on their own. I want us to bitch slap a national media darling full of 10-star recruits, and I want to do it in their own backyard with a national audience. I want to see them shoved around, jacked up, and run over. I want them crushed moving across the middle, growing alligator arms by the 2nd quarter, and running out of bounds to avoid yet another thunderous hit. I want utter domination. I want Tennessee redux. If we can’t win the MNC, I want to rain abject humiliation on these Golden Boy panty-girdles and their metrosexual coach.
I guess I want it all.
I like OrSU. They seem like nice folks. I want them to do well – just not at our expense. Quizz has 3 more years to go all Heisman on people in the Rose Bowl, while we’re busy playing for the MNC.
I want USC.

I'm half with you half not
First off, the Orange Bowl was a win. A big, huge-ass win. A win-win if you will. Pennsylvania descended on and overtook southern florida. We beat Bobby Bowden. We out-fanned the floridians in their own state. And we finished 12-1. A beautiful end to a beautiful season. Being there made it extra fun for me.
But I also like your take on douching the douchey trojans. If we play like we didn’t against Iowa and Indiana, the scenario you describe is viable. If we play like we did, well, it’d be a long day of national disrespect.
Pete, are you in the market for traveling to the Rose Bowl?
pax et amor
Don't get wrong
The Orange Bowl was a nice win, especially as it came at Bowden’s expense. But coaching matchup aside, who among us was thrilled when F$U sorta backed into the ACC title and became our opponent? As they were ranked in the low 20’s, there was no way to impress anyone with less than a 50 point blowout, let alone a 3 OT squeaker. It wasn’t even a rematch with a team we already throttled. Yes, it was exciting to watch (mostly for PSU / F$U), but I don’t remember anyone feeling really good about it beforehand, except for the beating Bobby angle. While we did get a win, we didn’t get the respect we would have from beating another Top 5 team.
Another unbeaten season snatched away on a last second play sucks. This time I want the opportunity to play a statement game, which the Orange Bowl was not. I’d like nothing better than to be a 10 point dog, and win by 28. THAT is making a statement. Especially against the SoCal Condoms.
I want shock and awe. OrSU can’t provide that opportunity.

Good morning BSDers
I’ve been reading RUTS and BSD for the past couple years but haven’t commented. I wanted my first post though to say thank you to all of you guys who work so hard on this site. I’m not sure how else I would piss away my lunch breaks at work. Its a great site with great content.
Now to the OrSU v. Oregon – I know we all met some really cool OrSU fans when they came to happy valley and I think that’s cool. But in all honesty they are in the Pac-10 and I could care less about them this year or for years in the future. I’m sure there are nice people that root for Arizona too and I care equally less about them. I don’t understand how any Penn Stater isn’t rooting their butt off for Oregon tonight. USC would be the biggest test this PSU team could possibly face outside of maybe Florida. The fact that they don’t want to play us makes me want them even more. Maybe I’m crazy, but a new years day bowl against media darling USC just seems a lot more fun.
You make a good point
Welcome to commentingLand. Best case I’ve heard yet for wanting to play USC: ‘biggest test’ we could possibly face. I like that perspective, vs, the national respect card. We’ve got a good team, had a good season, finished very strong, and we should want an opportunity to face the best test we can.
I buy that argument.

Fair question
I guess I just finally had something worth writing. Although possibly not a criteria for posting based on past experiences on this site (just kidding people).
Also – if PSU lays wood to USC I can give the finger to every OSU fan I know that keeps congratulating me on our “share” of the Big Ten Title (not that I don’t already give these clowns the finger but it will just have more meaning).

Backup Nittany Lion
Does anyone know if we have a backup Nittany Lion? According to the Daily Collegian
http://www.collegian.psu.edu/archive/2008/11/28/nittany_lion_mascot_charged_wi.aspx
the Nittany Lion got picked up on a DUI after the Michigan State game. Will he have to sit out the next game? Will we have to use an inexperienced Nittany Lion in the Rose Bowl?
If we go to the Rose Bowl
I vote ageing lion to sub in. Being the granddaddy of them all and all that!

I get a kick out of this
You’ve got to laugh at a straightfaced Lee Corso deadpanning “Closer than the experts think!” when he’s predicting games. He is the expert! Clown or no, the guy clearly gets the absurdity in college football and the fact that he eggs it on is awesome.
Gameday continues to be possibly the best pregame show for any sport. Corso plays his role (intentionally or not) perfectly, Herbstreit is a great football mind (how many insane upsets has he picked this year?) and Fowler leads the parade quite well. That show makes me happy to be a college football fan.
John Madden told me 90% of the game was half-mental...

Agreed
Desmond Howard leaves a little bit to be desired (tangent: it is hilarious that an Ohio State grad thoroughly out-analyzes a Michigan grad on a weekly basis on national television) but it is solid. Honestly, when they had Lebron James guest star, he was smart and hilarious and my opinion of the guy skyrocketed. I’d make him a regular contributor.
by gumbercules on Nov 29, 2008 12:55 PM EST up reply actions
Or Charles Barkley
Charles Barkley is the only man on the planet that should be on television 24 hours a day.
People seem to forget this
Despite what he says, Lebron James nearly made the unbelievable decision to play for Akron over Ohio State before his NBA dreams materialized. I would have loved that.
Mostly confirms my opinion
I can see an overstatement of the funny opinion — he was definitely more to the point. Fuzzy memories that I’m going to blame on alcohol. Solid analysis of a variety of games though. Also, we get a bonus “Closer than the experts think!” around 6:15 in the video!
LOL!
Mostly refutes your opinion, in my opinion.
- went with no notes, and sounded like it
- picked Michigan over MSU, with no supportive reasoning (‘yeah, I know, but I’ma take Michigan, I’ma take Michigan’) {MSU 35-21}
- picked Ga Tech over UVA, citing Tech’s great receivers, which Herbie quickly scoffed at {UVA 24-17; Tech 100 yds passing}
- picked Fla State over VaTech (I’ma take florida state, I like they defense; they young, they active, I’ma take florida state) {FSU 30-20)
- picked Arizona over USC (‘well, I’ma go with the fortteyyfforty 41% amurrica’s givin; I’ma go with Arizona) {USC 17-10}
- picked LSU over UGA (‘man, I’ma go wif LSU, umm…that, I think that defensive line is, is unbelievable..but they’re very quick; I think Knowshon Moreno’s gonna get, he’s gonna get a lot of yards, but I think that defense is too quick, too fast) {UGA 52-38}
ok, I’m getting tired….anyway, you get the gist. I definitely take exception with both ‘smart’ and ‘solid analysis of a variety of games’ and didn’t think he was particularly funny either. Gumbercules, on the other hand—now he’s funny!
pax et amor
Hey, everybody gets an opinion
To be fair, nobody expected the USC game to even be close so it was a ballsy pick, and I think secretly that every Ohio State fan is rooting for Michigan just so the nation pays attention to their rivalry game. And no notes? That’s impressive that he didn’t just freeze out there if it’s true. Anyway, I’m just a little tired of shots of Desmond Howard chatting on his computer and grinning and saying inane things to me.
Can someone help me out?
Trying to figure out which of the 4 games on right now is going to be the “least” boring. I mean, I know USC-Clemson is usually good for one fight, but they usually wait until the end of the game for that one.
Other than that, we’re looking at UVA-VTech, Cincy-‘Cuse, and UGA-GTech. I’ll probably stick mostly to the UGA-GTech game in the hopes that an ACC team can blow yet another hole in an omg essss eeeee seeee team. (Thankfully, LSU has already been eaten by it’s own conference.)
Georgia-Georgia Tech
It is a bitter rivalry. These people absolutely hate each other and there’s always value in that. In fact, the rivalry’s nickname is ‘Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate’.
by gumbercules on Nov 29, 2008 12:45 PM EST up reply actions
UGA/Tech
That game is sharing time with the recently-added Mizzou/KU game. I just watched Chase Daniel run 40+ yards on 3rd and 10, only to have it stripped at the end of the play and have KU recover.
Ugly unis indeed...
BTW – does anybody know which college the Detroit Lions switched unis with? I’d love to see a local Detroit college with NFL uniforms.
In the Philly area
I have it on Comcast SportsNet – not sure which subsidiary they are picking up, but they’re usually good for a Big 12 game each Saturday.
Ah! Got it
It’s on FSN Ohio in Cincinnati FWIW
What a cool stadium
the volume just comes right through. I can’t believe new stadium makers don’t go for the noise angle anymore. Simmons wrote about this this month. Maybe we’ll see a return to building state of the art stadiums that actually give a homefield advantage (like Seattle).

Holy crap!
Do these announcers (or the UGA fans) understand how intentional grounding works? Stafford wasn’t out of the pocket; Nesbitt was. My other issue with Stafford’s throw is that he never looked back towards the receiver – just chucked it out of bounds blindly (with a receiver close to the area).
They do not
I’m just glad someone else understands, I was afraid I went insane.

Then again, I played guard and tackle in high school, so I’d probably love an all dive and trap offense.

Look at that!
GTech just made this game a lot more interesting again. Nothing like a 28-28 tie midway through the 3rd.
I hate to say it
but I’m rooting for FSU for the first time in my life today.
Well, this has been an interesting few minutes of college football..
- GTech has come back, taken the lead, and is now extending its lead over UGA.
- VTech has put themselves up by a FG with 6:30 left in the 4th.
- Mizzou has moved to within a 3 with two quick scores.
- And Clemson continues to make the Gamecocks look silly.
How 'bout that
The preseason #1 ranked SEC team is getting beat by the triple option offense of an ACC team. And a middle of the road ACC team is taking a middle of the road SEC team behind the woodshed.
I expect to read some articles on Monday telling us how bad the SEC is this year. But I suspect I won’t.

I feel SOOO dirty right now
rooting for Florida State.
If they win and the other things don’t fall into place for us to go to the MNC game, then I will feel 1000000 times as dirty.
Keep hoping for the off-season investigations
You know – the one’s where FSU is then forced to forfeit their win today. This way everybody still wins in the end!
haha, of course I'm still rooting for that
but it still doesn’t mean I feel dirty currently rooting for them. Of course I also fully expect those investigations, sanctions, and forfeits after the season is over and the National Championship game has been played.
Interesting question, though: what would they do if FSU wins this, Florida beats Alabama, and then FSU has to FF the game before the MNC game. How do they rectify that in the BCS formula?

Time for some good games
The big 10 loses out on weekends like this, it would be exciting if we could have a championship game (not necessarily good, just exciting). We could add Pitt or ND and break into 2 divisions with Michigan/ND in one and OSU/PSU in another. It would bring us respect, if we were going into a championship game this weekend it could potentially have pushed us towards the top 2 if we win. Just an interesting thought.
We just needed a couple players, a couple people to buy in to the fact and we were able to do it. --A.Q. Shipley
Assuming everything else was actually going to happen
They’d put PSU/ND and OSU/Michigan in the divisions, I would imagine
But if ND joined anything, it’d probably be the Big East- that’s what they are in other sports, and they could probably win the thing every year, even when they’re this bad.

They would never put OSU and Michigan in the same division
That would prohibit them from playing each other in the championship game and we all know (whether we admit it or not) that they are still the darlings of the big ten. I don’t know who’s shadow PSU would get stuck in. Also that is a pipe dream, ND will never join a conference as long as the tv contracts keep coming.

I've long felt
that is one of the things that would keep the Big 10 from scheduling a championship game, even if we do qualify.
Though I guess they could be in different divisions, but still be guaranteed to play each other every year as a rivalry game.

The other day
I was listening to Rivals Radio on the way to work and they were debating if the Big Ten should play a championship game. Some moron actually said we shouldn’t because it’s not fair to make OSU and Michigan play their traditional rivalry game at the end of the year and then make them have to play again the following week. As if they are the only two teams that would ever qualify for the championship game. Unreal.

Isn't It Just Wrong...
That there’s no PSU game and we have to resort to the trash that is on Tv now?? Just kidding…I’m just sad there’s no PSU game this week and I’m jonesing for a real good game this Thanksgiving break..I miss the good ole days when Penn State-Pitt ruled the airwaves!!
Anyone remember?
The schools voted sometime this year to extend the Big Ten season by a week, with only Michigan and Ohio State voting against it for obvious reasons. When does that go into effect?
SEC my ass.
They ain’t that tough, but they are a CBS media darling. I guess CBS has the same strategy that Karl Rove had with Dumya: If you tell the same lie over and over again, eventually people will believe it’s true.
All things considered
This first round of games hasn’t been completely horrible. The two games remaining have turned into some seriously good football battles. UGA-GTech has been extremely fun to watch in the second half. And this KU-Mizzou battle gets better and better every possession. (Mostly thanks due to the fact that both teams plays defense as well as any other Big 12 team…)
Fun? Maybe
I feel like I’m watching a playstation game in this GA-GT game. Neither one of these defenses can stop anything. It kind of takes something away for me.
Mike
Black Shoe Diaries
That might be the better word...
Not necessarily the best all-around performances (apparently defense is more overrated around the nation than we realize), but they’ve been fun to watch where every possession has some significance.

Not sure how I feel about the Kansas Mizzou game
Since Missouri is probably the best chance at beating the Big XII South champ.
Mizzou is already in
If Kansas wins, and then Mizzou wins the BigXII championship game, it’ll hit the South champ that much more.
So what's more annoying
The fact that SEC players seem to celebrate after every tackle they make or the Florida State Tomahawk Chop chant thingy?

I'm in Michigan
I was debating just staying back in PA after the MSU game, but didn’t really want to take the time away from lab and the girl and the dog. Went with the girl to her grandparent’s cabin they have up around Cadillac, Michigan. This is an old-school log cabin with no running water, wood stoves and fireplaces for heat, but they do at least have electricity for lights & TV (only to watch Thanksgiving football, of course, especially since it is the only day of the year Lions fans can get excited about football). This year was much better than last year, when at night I was bundled in all my winter clothes, plus a sleeping bag, plus a few comforters, but unfortunately couldn’t cover my face (I like to breathe) and damn that was cold.
There are like 20 people that go there (well actually her parent’s cousins are there the previous night, and then her family is there for Thanksgiving night.) Mid-day on Thanksgiving Day they have a family vs family football game, which was pretty fun (I threw our team’s only TD, but also slipped in the snow on defense to give them their only TD. I also threw a beatiful pass that would have scored a TD and won the game on the last play of the game, but it got batted down…by a teenaged girl :-P )
I think this is my first live gameday thread I’ve been able to participate in all year! though I am sad there’s no PSU football game for me to go to :’(

well the game didn't feature a lot of rushing
which was kinda frustrating on one drive where we got to the “1 yard line” on our first play (each “drive” is just a set of 4 downs). I would have just run it in, but it is 2-hand touch (there are a bunch of little kids that play too), so that makes it a bit tougher. The other thing that made rushing tough for us (the other team actually did it a couple times) was that the teams were something like 15 people on their side to 7 on ours, so we only really ever had 2 people blocking their D-line that usually had about 7-10 people stacked in it.
Of course it wasn’t quite as uneven as it sounds, since there were about the same number of “adults” on both sides.

I hate to agree with both of you
but I think you’re right.
I know many have said it in here before, but can you imagine what JoePa and co. could do with all of that 5 star talent they get every year down there? Granted many probably don’t have the attitude that we look for in our kids but they end up winning most of their games on talent alone. Really pathetic…

Bad day for star receivers
First Crabtree and now Harvin – going down with ankle issues. Limiting either can have a significant effect on these games.
yay for Tebow smash.
Take that play away and Florida is pretty average. I can’t wait to see what Meyer does when he can’t rely on the Tebow Smash.
Mike
Black Shoe Diaries
Blah...
Florida is the most boring top 5 team to watch, for that reason. I think Penn State has as much team speed as they do and do more with it. Seems like everything is going to be either a Tebow Smash, something with Harvin or hitting their tight end.
I seriously think PSU’s D matches up well with them. And I think that Bama can limit them to 13 points.

JoePa On Big Ten Network
Since every game was at halftime, I thought i’d check around for something…anything! Anyway, the Big Ten Network was showing its “best games of all time” and the game on now is a 1974 game between Ohio State and Michigan. I know..gag me! But the interesting thing, the color guy with Keith Jackson is none other than…Joe Paterno! I thought I recognized the voice and I’m thinking…why is JoePa broadcasting?? My wife didn’t belive me. Anyway..since the game was on ABC, they saw fit to put out a graphic that Joe Paterno was one of the announcers.
If you get the Big Ten Network and are bored as hell, check it out now!!
UF-FSU game

I am sick to my fucking stomach.
I was holding out hope that we could get to Miami, but with no upsets of any consequence today, the dream is over. I’m sorry, but the Rose Bowl is just another bowl. I guess if I sit back and think about the Lions not playing on New Year’s Day that that might snap me out of it. But damn, I like seeing a #1 in front of Penn State.
Now I’m pissed. At first I was ambivalent, but now I want Oregon State to lose. I want to play USC and jack them the fuck up all over the place. On their field.
And no, I haven’t been drinking all day. But I’m getting ready to start.

Rose Bowl.......
Is slowly becoming not just another bowl. I know you probably know this already, but the rest of the country is slowly becoming convinced that the Rose Bowl is a major player in there not being a playoff. Consquently, a lot of people could care less what happens in it.
I would love to see us play USC.
Eric Watters Atlanta, Ga.
you are absolutely correct
That’s why the biggest threat a playoff system could come with is to leave out the Rose Bowl and the teams in it. That would force the Pac and Big 10 to get on the Rose Bowl to make a playoff a reality

Penn State girls swept Michigan tonight to finish the season undefeated, 32-0 (20-0). I also believe this is the first time that a team has not dropped a single set for the entire regular season. That is damn impressive!
Tourney selection show is tomorrow on ESPNU – will likely determine if I end up making another trip to State College before 2008 is up.
I'm confused..
what would we gain in beating OrSU again. To me it seems like a no win situation. if we win no one will care cus we already killed them once. If we lose everyone will say that we werent as good as people thought. A shot at USC would be a true marquee game and give us a chance to really prove ourselves to all the haters.

Depends on how the media wants to run with it
I think it’s been well documented that this Beaver team is playing much better than week 2. There’s also some stats out there how, in recent bowl game history, a rematch has been won more by the regular season loser. At least I think that’s what the stat was…
Also, there seems to be a lot of rumblings out of USC that a Rose Bowl appearance is a lose-lose for them. Which, even if we beat them, people can pull the “Well, USC just didn’t care so it wasn’t the real USC” card. Sure, we can tout a win over a top program, but will the media really decide to see it the same way? Just some food for thought…
Doesn't really matter
Thanks to F$U and Auburn rolling over today the OMG ESS EEE CEE has a clear path to the title game against a Big 12 team and no one will give two shits about us beating USC as they have gotten zero run this year, like us. Who will really remember us beating a USC team? Or what if we go and lose or , even worse, we get hammered. You think we get no respect now? It’s a lose lose situation this year. Screw USC. I want an SEC or Big 12 team.

I didn’t get to see any of the games in Philly. But from what I’ve read and seen Talor Battle is sensational. The kid is a star plain and simple. Stanley Pringle has really heated up too, and when those two guys are on we can play with anyone. Those two guys are so good at pushing the tempo. They can slash to the hoop and create so much off of it. They are both good at finishing the drive, or they pop a short range jumper. They can dish off to a teammate. And they are both deadly from the arc. They create so many problems for other teams and they give us a ton of flexibility to work with.
What bothers me is our depth. We are basically playing with six or seven guys every night. As a result, Battle is playing a ton of minutes. We can’t be strong late in the season if he’s having to log 40 minutes every night. The rest of the offense needs a guy the can depend on to carry them when Battle is on the bench. Right now they look totally lost when he’s not out there. We desperately need Jeff Brooks, Cammeron Woodyard, or Chris Babb to start contributing heavily.

I feel dirty, too.
An Oregon State loss today = a USC win, more or less. It is wrong to root for a USC win. I feel like I should go to confession.
Pasadena here I come
flight – check (damn its expensive to fly out of university park)
hotel – check
game tickets – check
Mighty Erik you need anything from University Park brought out to you?
lemme get back to you on it! Hopefully I can meet up with you guys when you get here!

I don’t think it matters who they hire. That guy will win 10 games with Weis’ recruits. They’ll go to the Fiesta Bowl and get blown out. But they’ll give him a ten year contract worth $100 million. But he won’t be able to duplicate it and they’ll fire that guy for whatever reason.

I hung a necklace made of dried red jalapenos and plastic shamrocks(from some bar at St Patty’s Day last year) and hung them up and “cursed” the Irish last year before the beginning of the season since my favorite drinking partner is a die-hard fan. He made me promise to take it down this year and I did but I never did remove the curse.
God bless you.
Could you please place similar curses on USC, Florida State, Miami, Florida, the New Jersey Devils, the nation of France, and those two assholes in the Apple commercials.
That would be great.

Mock BCS predictions
Following the rules posted on FOX Sports and taking some liberal assumptions, my crystal ball shows:
NCG: Florida v. Oklahoma
Rose: Penn State v. USC
Fiesta: Texas v. Ohio State
Sugar: Alabama v. Cincinnati
Orange: Boston College v. Utah
The picking order goes Fiesta, Sugar, Orange this year, but the Orange is required to take BC with their first pick. The first three games are excellent. The last two, meh.
I had to buy Orange bowl tix with my NCG tix
I bet I’ll be able to sell the pair for $10. Who the fuck wants to go to Miami to see Cinnnncinnnnnatttttttti play? And I thought selling $400 worth of tix for $99 bucks last year was bad. I thought there could not be a worse bowl matchup than last year’s KU vs VT game. Can’t wait to see what kind of shitty matchup the OB has this year.

2009 Notre Dame Football Schedule
Sept. 5 NEVADA
Sept. 12 at Michigan
Sept. 19 MICHIGAN STATE
Sept. 26 at Purdue
Oct. 3 WASHINGTON
Oct. 17 USC
Oct. 24 BOSTON COLLEGE
Oct. 31 vs. Washington State (at San Antonio, Texas)
Nov. 7 NAVY

I’m saying they go 4-12.
they'll probably go 8-4
maybe 7-5.

W Nevada
W Michigan
L MSU
W Purdue
W Washington
L USC
L BC
W Washington State
W Navy
W Pitt (maybe a L)
L Connecticut

The only easy wins are Washington and Washington State. Everything else is a tossup. So I’ll say 6-6.
Remember the days when you just knew Notre Dame was going to get a lucky fumble to win a game they shouldn’t have won? Now you just know they will find a way to lose to Syracuse.

I was probably the last person in the world to bring a case of Yuengling as a carry-on, since I did it on a Sunday (flying back from Philly to Michigan), and the “bomb attempt” or whatever it was that led to the liquids band happened midweek (Tuesday if I recall correctly)

by MeetMeAtTheCorner on Nov 29, 2008 9:43 PM EST reply actions
Sure
If OU wins, there is a 3-way tie for the Big XII South. In that case, the team with the highest BCS rank of the three will go to the Big XII championship game. Probably either Texas or Oklahoma, but it’s too close to tell right now. My guess would be Oklahoma.
If OU loses, TT goes to the Big XII championship game due to their head-to-head win over Texas.

I wish I had taken the over in the OrSt. - Oregon game.
Neither of these teams is acquainted with the concept of defense. The closest thing either of ’em has to defense is a running game.
Couple of thoughts
1. ND was 2-1 vs Big10……0-2 vs ACC and 0-2 vs Big East……shame on us.
2. My Pitt friends/family were absolutly unbearable this weekend…..“at least we beat Iowa”…..we need to play Pitt again just to shut them up.
3. Ore-OSU isn’t over yet……the Beavers are starting to play some football….
4. I’m rooting for Ok St just for the big FU to the BCS.
Rule #1 in college football:
You don’t get to trashtalk when you lose (at home) to Bowling Green and Rutgers.
I'll throw in my 4b)
4b) Rooting for Mizzou to take down Big XII South winner.
Nothing like trying to send a team to the National Championship game when that team wouldn’t even play for their conference championship.
Playing devil's advocate here
Let’s say the current run of Pac-10 games ends as they currently stand – OrSt lases, USC destroys ND. Now, let’s say UCLA goes all 2007 Stanford on USC next week and pulls the upset. Can someone please decipher the tiebreaker rules of the Pac-10 for this situation? Oregon, OrSt, and USC would all be tied at 6-2 in conference, and in trying to decipher the tiebreakers, I think Oregon State would be back in the Rose Bowl.
Anyone else want to take a shot at it? http://www.pac-10.org/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/102802aai.html
no way UCLA gets USC

Oregon State
The multi-team tiebreaker reaches the point where they compare records against the next highest conference team in the standings, Cal. Oregon lost to Cal, so they are eliminated, and then Oregon State gets the head-to-head nod over USC. Funny that it helps to have a worse loss on your resume.

It only hurts the conference’s reputation nationally if the Buckeyes get crushed — again — on a national stage.

Utah is a mortal lock for the Orange Bowl against (probably) Boston College. The OB picks dead last and must take BC with their first pick.

I ran through this above
The selection order goes Fiesta, Sugar, Orange this year. I’m guessing the Fiesta takes Texas as its traditional Big 12 team, the Sugar takes Alabama as its SEC team, the Orange must take BC. Then they go through again, the Fiesta takes Ohio State, the Sugar takes Cincinnati and the Orange is stuck with Utah.
by gumbercules on Nov 29, 2008 10:47 PM EST up reply actions
I don't think...
Ohio State is the automatic pick for fiesta…..Utah will be ranked higher and would travel just as well to Arizona…
If that happens it would blow my mind
But here’s hoping, just to see Ohio State shafted. OSU is probably going to be a dog to either Texas or Alabama/Florida.

I know it's good for the B10....
but I can’t help but wish tOSU would go to a lesser bowl…. just to shut the fans up.
That was the only positive thing about USC not going to Rose
Ohio State would have been bumped to Cap One Bowl….
i hear ya...
what about an at large Big 12 team? They’ve been getting all the love this season anyway….
USC does not look too good on offense
I think they have thrown 3 picks tonight. I suspect it is going to be a grind of a damn good game in Pasedena.

Seriously, to echo what mike said above...
…how does the national media just ignore the total lack of defense in the Big12? Do they really think that four of the greatest offense of all time just happen to play in the same division of the same conference? Do they totally dismiss the idea that these teams will be CRUSHED by any team that plays tough defense?

I actually just logged on to mention this. It seems like no one in the Big 12 plays any Defense at all, not just in the South look at Mizzou and Kansas too.

I mean seriously
it would be one thing if the offenses were doing amazing plays, or had guys that were just SO MUCH faster or SOMETHING like that, but the only thing I’ve seen in any Big 12 game I’ve watched is a LOT of missed tackles that a well trained high-schooler would make. I know the Big 12 wants to promote that their offenses are just so good that they make the defenses look bad, and yes, their offenses do look good, but I think their defenses would look bad against pretty much anyone (and heck, I think some of it is the bad defenses making hte offenses look good)

OU has scored a TD on their last six drives. I think four of those drives were over 75 yards.

reminds me of Florida State's, just annoying after the third time

I wouldn't touch the Desperate Houswives with a 10' stick
cuz that would mean cutting it in half.
Yes, ’ = foot.
Yes, half.

Yeah, I know what you mean.
Those chicks aren’t looking so good lately.

Big 12 employs a lot of bend but don't
Oh what the heck, just break, we’ll probably outscore them defense.

we didn't pass them when they got blown out in a loss...so
doubtful we’ll pass them when they win, especially against an OMG BIG XII team (they’re the new SEC)

who knows, the only good thing is that it just doesn't matter anymore. USC here we come.

That last TD was just unnecessary
even Herbie said, “SHUT IT DOWN”…JoePa would never do that.

I mean it was a running play
though I suppose they should have just taken a knee

Here and I thought this was some sort of outdoor grass-based basketball thing
John Madden told me 90% of the game was half-mental...

Anybody else remember when it was simply enough to win your games?
Ah, those were the days. When winning was enough…

certainly not 1968, 1969, 1973, or 1994

Plaxico Burress gets style points...
Do you know how hard it is to shoot yourself accidentally?
Harder than finding a good defense in the Big XII

Between this game and the Civil War...
…205 total points scored. But the defenses in the Big12 & Pac10 are tough, too.
All your base are belong to JoePa.
Yeah, I liked it
But wifey and I both have lived there before and are big aussie fans. You seen it?

WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY
IS OK STATE STILL TRYING TO SCORE.

Maybe they're taking a page from D'Antonio's book

Using the BCS as a tie-breaker is perhaps the best idea I have ever heard of.
It’s not like the BCS is based upon limited data, specious reasoning, and outright bias or anything…

My mom saw Kirk Herbstreet for the first time today...
and she’s in love. Whenever they showed him on Gameday, she’d look at the TV and talk to the screen, “Don’t look at me like that, you sexy thing!”
Threw up a little in my mouth.

Well, now that we're not playing OrSt again
The chances of coming out to Pasadena have greatly increased. Now just got to iron out a couple details, like tickets, flight, lodging, and perfect “you’re my new father” gift basket.

I will get some ideas together for you… I am still looking for tickets so hopefully someone comes up with a good idea and I can jump in on a package deal as I am only a single ticket

How far of a drive would it be from Vegas?
We were thinking about staying in Vegas and driving to Pasadena on gameday.
I bleed Blue and White.
by Horse N Buggy on Nov 30, 2008 12:10 AM EST up reply actions
prolly 4 to 4.5 hrs
I recommend Vegas for anyone as the flights are so cheap and you can make a nice double trip out of it

It'll be worth it
My gut tells me we’re going to win. This is the same gut that had a bad feeling about The Game On November 8th That Did Not Really Happen. FWIW.
Okay, NOW, I’m going to bed.
