dude what the eff are you efging doing?

Week 9 just barely ended!

[ixcuincle]

Can you PLEASE start the damn college threads when the week is actually over?

I'd start them but I don't give a damn about starting game threads for people to spam in instead of the NCAA forum.

New Rankings:
1) Gators
2) Texas
3) Alabama
4) Iowa
5) CIN
6) TCU
7) Boise
8) Oregon
9) LSU
10) GA Tech

How does Oregon only move up 2?
If Boise and TCU both win out, one gets the auto-bid. Will the other get an at-large?

[KDawg]

I'm just happy the Canes managed to pull it out on Saturday. Too close to call. We're definitely not back yet, but we're also much better than we have been. We'll see what happens, though.

[BayouBrave86]

Saturday is going to be a classic between Bama and us. If we manage to score 17 or more it's a win for the good guys.

Scout.com bowl projections: http://cfn.scout.com/2/557866.html

SMU is projected for a bowl!!!!!!!!! :wavetowel

I'm not kidding, if SMU makes a bowl game this year, I am not only 100% gonna be where ever they play, but I will go streaking around the stadium.

As far as Week 10 goes, these are the games I care about this week:

UCF-Texas (boring)
South Carolina-Arkansas
Tenn Tech-Georgia (see UCF-Texas)
Rice-SMU
LSU-Alabama
Houston-Tulsa

[ACW]

Scout.com bowl projections: http://cfn.scout.com/2/557866.htmlA two-loss USC in the Fiesta Bowl over Boise? :chair:

[royallypwned]

A two-loss USC in the Fiesta Bowl over Boise? :chair:

Boise is picked for the Poinsettia Bowl, which means they are predicting Boise to tank. Idaho is picked for the Humanitarian Bowl, which is the bowl for the WAC champion. So according to scout.com, Idaho will win the WAC while the two current unbeatens in WAC play, Nevada and Boise will get passed. Since Idaho has one conference loss, basically what it means is that they are guessing Idaho will beat Boise in two weeks and win out while Nevada loses at least once, probably to Boise. And if Nevada loses some other game, Idaho would win the tie breaker with Boise. If Nevada didn't lose another one, Idaho would somehow win some crazy three way tiebreaker.

to sum it all up: scout.com is stupid. :)

Can you PLEASE start the damn college threads when the week is actually over?

I'd start them but I don't give a damn about starting game threads for people to spam in instead of the NCAA forum.

I think next year we'll have a running season thread in the NCAA forum for the die hard fans down there :)

[prophet]

Yeah, because that never happens in a pile....

[SkinsHokieFan]

Yeah, because that never happens in a pile....

Blatant eye gouges?

Yea, they usually don't :)

And I am a HUGE Spikes fan, but that is just uncalled for

[ACW]

So, barring any flukes, it looks like the BCS Bowls will feature these teams:
ACC (1): Georgia Tech
BE (1): Cincinnatti (sp?)
B10 (2): Iowa/Penn State/Ohio State
B12 (1): Texas
P10 (1): Oregon (USC's a LONGshot)
SEC (2): 'Bama/UF/LSU
Two spots open: TCU and Boise (though USC could steal one of these)

[royallypwned]

One of these days the Cotton Bowl is gonna get back to where it belongs as a major bowl game that teams are excited to go to, rather than a consolatory bowl. It will emerge as a new BCS bowl sometime soon.

[StillUnknown]

how do you only get suspended for one half when you caught on camera like that? spikes should be suspended at least the full game.

[Lombardi's_kid_brother]

Someone needs to end this Iowa insanity.

I wish I could line up the entire Penn State team and throw small pieces of chalk at them for an hour or so.

[ACW]

There is a WHOLE MONTH LEFT :hysterical:

Lots will change, I promise that

[hokie4redskins]

If the Big 10 snags a second BCS bowl......AGAIN......I'll be livid.

[Spartacus87]

how do you only get suspended for one half when you caught on camera like that? spikes should be suspended at least the full game. His HC is Urban Meyer, and the SEC offices have shown that UF is pretty much untouchable this season. That's how.

FSU gets to play at Clemson Saturday night. I'm not really looking forward to that game. CJ Spiller's going to go off on our defense.

Damn...:owned:
He raises, among many others, a REALLY good point:
Now, the BCS defenders will almost certainly say this: "The Boise State-Oregon game was in September." They are correct. Let's put aside the fact that on the very rare occasions when a BCS school plays a non-BCS power, it is almost always in September. Here's what the BCS defenders also say a lot: "What's great about the BCS is that the regular season is so meaningful."

[jpillian]

Here's what the BCS defenders also say a lot: "What's great about the BCS is that the regular season is so meaningful."

Bogus article, ACW. Completely bogus. And you could tell as much from your snippet.

Like the reporter could really find a BCS defender.

:silly::silly:

[Slacky McSlackAss]

If the Big 10 snags a second BCS bowl......AGAIN......I'll be livid.

If anything, it will be Penn State getting that game. I wouldn't mind that at all.

[Elessar78]

Slacky, OSU's kicker is out for the rest of the season.

[cjcdaman]

Slacky, OSU's kicker is out for the rest of the season.


On what was an illegal block by New Mexico State. Penalty should have been called. However, his replacement was a former walk-on and has since earned a scholarship. He's not bad. I worry about putting him in a big game situation, but it's all we got.

[Bostic Hog]

I will be at the Penn State game this weekend. I am so pumped. I'm very glad that it came on the weekend of a Skins away game.

Slacky, I'll wave at you on TV.

[Bostic Hog]

So if those bowl projections hold up, Penn State vs. USC (AGAIN) in the Fiesta Bowl. HMMMMMMMN.

Skins vs. Chargers on 1/3 in SD, drive to Phoenix for the Penn State game on 1/4. Anyone up for a double header?

[ACW]

USC BETTER not get in :no:
Boise beat Oregon, while Oregon THUMPED USC AND Washington (who also beat USC).

It's college football! Rivalry week! Pressure! Enjoy the ****ing season! :doh:

[Elessar78]

It'd be kinda nice to see Oregon vs PSU.

Actually... teams I'd like to see PSU play in a bowl game:

Florida, Alabama, Texas (duh) Boise State, Oregon

People would say USC for the revenge factor, but if we win then it's because we played a weak USC team. Not much "pay back" if you ask me.

VaTech? Maybe. But it proves nothing if we win. But if they win then it's just doody for us.

I would however love to wax Notre Dame on national TV. But aside from the first five, there's nothing really interesting out there for me.

[ACW]

It's college football! Rivalry week! Pressure! Enjoy the ****ing season! :doh:I am. Part of enjoying the season is complaining about the system! :yes:

[Slacky McSlackAss]

I'd love this, just so I could laugh at all my VT fan friends.

[ixcuincle]

I am. Part of enjoying the season is complaining about the system!

No it isn't. It's not even playoff postseason time and you're complaining every week about the system. **** that ****. Sit back and enjoy the ride. When the bowl season comes then start complaining.

The fun part of college football isn't whining about the BCS every week. It's about upsets

[Slacky McSlackAss]

I am. Part of enjoying the season is complaining about the system! :yes:

Why must you continue to push your agenda in these threads? I really think you just don't get it dude. We don't need you reminding us every post that its a flawed system. We know its flawed, but we deal with it cause that's the system. I find myself hoping day after day that you get a 2 week ban so we can have intelligent discussions in these threads without you interjecting with idiotic statements every 5 posts. Make it happen TK. PLEASE!!!!

[ixcuincle]

Yeah, I mean we get it,no one here defends the system. We know it's bull****. We don't need people telling us every week common knowledge. No one likes the system except Gordon Gee and the rest of the college presidents. The coaches, players, and fans have all pretty much advocated for a playoff since the beginning of the BCS.

[Slacky McSlackAss]

I am. Part of enjoying the season is complaining about the system! :yes:

[Translation] I don't know **** about College Football, so I'm just gonna complain about something that's known by every person who has even remotely followed college football. Yay, now I feel like I fit in.

[ACW]

No one likes the system except Gordon Gee and the rest of the college presidents. The coaches, players, and fans have all pretty much advocated for a playoff since the beginning of the BCS.Okay, then explain to me something. If EVERYONE hates it, shouldn't that have more power than the Presidents?

EDIT: And if it's about $, 2-4 more weeks=more games=more $

[Slacky McSlackAss]

And Slacky, nice to see you admit it :D
You know perfectly well what I mean, and your response as always is some stupid ass emoticon. Thus just further proving my point that you are completely clueless. You know, I kinda sound like you right now. Seeing as everyone here knows you're a dumbass just like they know that the BCS system sucks. Yet I keep repeating the fact that you are retarded when it comes to College Football. Interesting, isn't it.

[Slacky McSlackAss]

EDIT: And if it's about $, 2-4 more weeks=more games=more $

No guaranteed BCS bids for major conferences = less money for them.

[ACW]

No guaranteed BCS bids for major conferences = less money for them.True enough. Maybe give those 6 an autobid (as much as I hate to say it) just like in March Madness and then have like 2 at-larges or something.

[The Brave Little Toaster Oven]

Sweet baby jebus, are we still using this flawed system for rankings? The BCS ruins College Football... (hahahaha)

[Slacky McSlackAss]

True enough. Maybe give those 6 an autobid (as much as I hate to say it) just like in March Madness and then have like 2 at-larges or something.

The key is, they want to keep the mid majors out. Why would the ACC want to give away their spot in a BCS game when they could be given that at large. It's not gonna change until the committee gets their heads out of their asses.

[renaissance]

There's an ignore function for a reason. And ACW has just as much right to rant and complain about the BCS as Slacky does to talk about his lame football team, or rp about SMU, or me about Minnesota :doh:

So how about instead of giving him the same old annoying responses to his anti-BCS posts you either ignore him or educate him on what college football is really about.

I'm down for this SHF. ACW can have his thread up here, I would feel MUCH more comfortable down there. I'd prefer that every debate not end up being about how the BCS sucks like it does here.

Ren, we've tried to educate him. But the debate always goes back to the same point. Read through these threads though, it's not just me. Many of the regulars here are sick of putting up with him. I'd much rather you talk about an actual team and try to educate us about them, then have him rant about something I've heard 1 million times over.

Here's an idea ACW. You love the BCS buster so much, how bout pick Boise St. as your team to follow and start discussing their match ups with us.

I have to educate the masses about a football team that could potentially reach a bowl game this season for the first time in a quarter century. :fingersx:

[Slacky McSlackAss]

Sure...why the hell not. But I promise you that if you put as much energy as you do trashing the BCS in to reading in to BSU or TCU you would enjoy college football SO much more. Just cause you didn't go to a school with a football team doesn't mean you can't still follow a program you like.

Okay, I'll try.

ACW STARTED this thread, like he has many others. The Title of this thread is, "College Football Week 10".

He doesn't state anything that contributes to the NCAA Football discussion, except the BCS garbage that he normally does. We ALL know it's garbage. Yet, he thinks he is on to something no one else has EVER seen before.

If you start a thread about COLLEGE FOOTBALL WEEK 10, shut the **** up about you having NO TEAM and rooting for the BCS to fail. We've heard it all before.

The discussion in a "COLLEGE FOOTBALL WEEK 10" thread shoulde be about just that....what's going on in college football.

His ramblings are not WEEK 10 OF THE 2009 COLLEGE FOOTBALL SEASON. They are years and years of bitching and moaning from people who don't have any clue about who to root for. Only, "this team" is getting the run around...and it doesn't matter which team it is...he will defend it.

[Elessar78]

I love it when people get all worked out about the National Championship in college football. Look the only thing in your control is how you schedule and winning your conference. It's pointless to argue about the BCS. It's a tired topic.

ACW, more games MAY mean more money but who gets that money is the bigger question. Let's say the SEC is as good as advertised and has 3 teams in a 4 team playoff. Do they get to keep 75% and the other conference gets the rest? Or do you divide the revenue to all 117 FBS teams? Wouldn't that be unfair to the SEC that's doing all the heavy lifting?

Plus, there's the fact that there are more weak teams in the FBS than the strong ones that go to bowl games. Guess what? All those weak teams get as much as the ones that actually go to the bowls (except the BCS, they pay out on tiered basis). Why wouldn't the weak schools vote for a system that guarantees them a pay day.

In 2006 the BigTen split 34.5 million eleven ways, but it also cost the conference 12 million to send seven teams to bowl games that year. So it ends up being only $2M/team after expenses. In a playoff, there's no guarantee that your team/conference will get to go. So you could be looking at zero instead of a nice cushy 2 mill.

This probably also touches on Brandon Spikes' half game suspension. The difference between a BCS bowl and the "consolation" bowl is just about, oh, $13 million. So the SEC has no incentive to make things right.

[renaissance]

Minnesota hosts Illinois on Saturday. Should be interesting since Juice Williams and Adam Weber both finally had great games last week. (Weber threw for FIVE TDs :))

One more win and we are bowl eligible!

[Slacky McSlackAss]

I'm gonna be stuck at work during the PSU OSU game on Saturday. That means I'll have to hide the remote so some dip**** customer doesn't come and change the channel.

http://content.usatoday.com/communities/fantasyjoe/post/2009/11/need-more-touchdowns-look-to-the-u/1

Need more touchdowns? Look to 'The U'

Miami Hurricanes alum Frank Gore of the San Francisco 49ers rushed for a touchdown in the first quarter of San Francisco's 18-14 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.

No big deal? Typically no, except it was the 113th consecutive week in the NFL that a former Hurricane scored a touchdown. That is more than 6½ seasons without missing a weekend.

Pro-football-reference.com lists every touchdown scored since 1940, so unless a team such as Army or Notre Dame can claim a longer streak before World War II, 113 games is the longest such streak. Here are the top streaks of 40 games or more:

School / Start year, week to end year, week / Streak
Miami (Fla.) / 2002, Week 15 to present / 113 games
Ohio State / 1996, Week 10 to 2001, Week 6 / 82 games
Michigan / 1996, Week 14 to 2001, Week 1 / 73 games
Southern California / 1978, Week 2 to 1982, Week 3 / 66 games
LSU / 1986, Week 14 to 1989, Week 16 / 50 games
Notre Dame / 1994, Week 14 to 1997, Week 2 / 40 games

See and people complain that Boise doesn't play anyone. Well they're trying to, not their fault no one wants to play them.

[ixcuincle]

Doesn't VT play them

speaking of VT they play again on Thursday night against ECU. Time to right the ship and save some face this season.

Ren, you been there yet? And just FYI, the Phillies ballpark is The Bank -- copy-freaking-cats! I was in WI 2 weeks ago, flying through MSP, and couldn't see it from the air (of course, the SNOW probably had something to do with that)!!

[renaissance]

Yea I've been to all but 2 games this season. The stadium is beautiful.

Beast of a logo on the ECU field

[ixcuincle]

13-3 VT 3rd

[ACW]

Boise plays tomorrow at 8 :)
Then on the 20th it also has a national game to itself.
Time to dominate and earn that at-large bid (if necessary).

[renaissance]

I'm still in awe of the ECU's field logo. That thing is badass.

[Slacky McSlackAss]

Southern Cal, Penn State, Ohio State, AND Iowa, all at The Bank!
Glad to see you can be so excited about 4 guaranteed losses

And Penn State gets Bama next year :)

And we get @ Indiana in FedEx on Nov. 20 :)
I say we throw up a good ole ES style tailgate for that game.

[ixcuincle]

Duke 3-1 in conference lol, thought Duke was only good at lacrosse and basketball and other elitist sports. Cutcliffe is doing a fine job at Duke

Appears VT will win 16-3 gj

You all play at 3:30 unfortunately they put LSU - Alabama on at 3:30 too...and Wake - GT. Wonder which game ABC decides to play. It doesn't really matter though I'm leaning towards watching that LSU alabama game. LSU better win for parity reasons, because it's been the same 1 2 3 for a damn long time and I'm tired of that ****. It's time for some upheaval.

I'll be up bright and early to tailgate at Beaver Stadium tomorrow morning at 8 am. It's feels kinda nice though that both teams aren't coming into the game undefeated. For a fan, it's more relaxing and I think I can just enjoy the game, win or lose. Yeah, we have an outside shot at the BigTen title but even if we lose it's not that big a deal. We'll still go to a bowl game and we've already got a great recruiting class.

I hate to write off this season because in my eyes it's exceeded expectations, because I predicted a 2-3 loss season for this edition of the Nittany Lions. But I do wish we could get more work for QB-in-waiting Kevin Newsome. He's listed as similar in size to DC but he looks small out there.

This game should be a night game. But due to the Big Ten's antiquated rules about no night games in November, it can't be.

Mason has a football team? If they do I guarantee epic failure by them.

[JMURedskins]

LSU-Bama should be a slug fest. The 2 most important players in the game are Mark Ingram and Jordan Jefferson. Bama needs their running game play well and LSU needs to break the streak of QBs struggling against Bama's D.

[hokie4redskins]

I'm still in awe of the ECU's field logo. That thing is badass.

Agreed, that logo was awesome.

On another note, all this talk about Boise State needs to stop. Did anybody catch their remaining schedule last night? Pathetic.

I'm betting 75% of the country would go undefeated with that schedule. Oregon at home, the first game of the season when they're THE most vulnerable? Who cares?

Would be nice if they could get someone to play them but from what I've been hearing lately they are starting to have a lot of problems scheduling challenging OOC games.

This game should be a night game. But due to the Big Ten's antiquated rules about no night games in November, it can't be.What kind of dumbass rule is that?

Better then a 4 year stretch without a bowl :)

Or 25 years without a bowl like what we're going through. lol :(

Agreed, that logo was awesome.

On another note, all this talk about Boise State needs to stop. Did anybody catch their remaining schedule last night? Pathetic.

I'm betting 75% of the country would go undefeated with that schedule. Oregon at home, the first game of the season when they're THE most vulnerable? Who cares?

Better to know your limits than to bite off more than you can chew.

Minnesota sucks. They've given up six sacks on the day to a team who is last in the Big 10 for sacks this year. At least we only have 2 penalties so far :doh:

I'm headed to the Fresno St vs Idaho Vandal game (hour south of me)- its on at 7:30pm PST- it will be televised ESPNU.

Should be a good game, I'm curious to see the Fresno St RB- the guy is tearing it up this year. Idaho has a tendency to miss tackles and their run defense is not nearly as good as their pass defense. next week the Vandals play BSU. I would love an upset, but not likely.

[StillUnknown]

iowa is running out of time, less than 4min to go, and only 1 timeout left

Michigan outscored in 2nd half 28-12. MICHIGAN WAS UP 14. 14.

This is Purdue's first win in Michigan Stadium since 1966.

[ixcuincle]

I don't ever want to hear anyone defend officials and umpires, especially poor SEC officials. Urbie goes out there and tells it like it is and gets fined just like the rest of the damn SEC coaches. For what? Pointing out the truth? Your officials stink. Do something about it instead of ****ing fining coaches. And nothing makes me more irate than SEC trying to silence or penalize coaches for TELLING THE TRUTH. DON'T ACT LIKE YOUR OFFICIATING IS GOOD. IT'S NOT. IT'S HORRIBLE. IT'S THE ****ING WORST IN DIVISION I-A FOOTBALL

Oh man...this guy is irate.

http://www.abc15.com/content/uponfurtherreview/story/Coaches-fines-are-a-violation-of-freedom-of-speech/oDFkCrGyeUqYdl7Z0lYCJw.cspx


I've seen enough. It's time coaches on both the pro and college levels stand behind the right of freedom of speech.

Fining anyone for their opinion is a violation of the Constitution in my book.

Questioning officiating is a right. Since when are they immune to criticism.

The latest example comes with the $30,000 fine levied against Florida Head Coach Urban Meyer for telling reporters that the refs in the Georgia game missed a late hit on Quarterback Tim Tebow.

Even Georgia Head Coach Mark Reicht said it could have been a penalty. But that's not the point.

Where the heck does any conference or league get off on fining coaches for their public opinions. Who gave them the right to muzzle anyone.

Now listen. I'm not a constitutional lawyer. My knowledge of the Constitution and law is next to none. But penalizing coaches for speaking their mind about officials is simply IGNORANT. It suggets that officials are infallible. It suggests officials are perfect creatures who can do no wrong. The truth is officials are people too. And fining coaches for telling the truth about bad officials on the field is simply ludicrous. These coaches are speaking the truth, and they are being fined and punished for it. What kind of bull**** is this?

[ACW]

:point2sky
Navy again :)
14-0 over Notre Dame.

[ACW]

ix, I agree with you about the fines (though Urban deserves it for the 1/2 game suspension; Karma :D )
But it is NOT against the Constitution. Government is not involved here. CONGRESS shall make no LAW.
Stupid and wrong? :yes:
Unconstitutional? :no:

[ixcuincle]

And that's why I posted an edited version of that rant on another forum because I was kind of cognizant about how freedom of speech was limited to government usage blah blah blah. It is still unjust

Fining seems to be frequent in leagues nowadays. The kids can't twitter or else they get a fine. The coaches are limited in their tweets or it's a recruiting violation. And I'm fine with those fines. But in the NBA and SEC, where coaches get fined for simply discussing the game itself, and not potential future recruits, that's not something that's fine-worthy. Back off on the fines. There's no need to fine coaches in the NBA or SEC for criticizing officiating. I've yet to see one person defend the fining of coaches. That's because no one agrees with that bull****.

[ACW]

Wow, PSU got lucky there.
The ref missed the timeout.
AND there was no challenge.

[ixcuincle]

How can you challenge after the PAT?

Colt McCoy was within 4 yards of breaking Major Applewhite's passing record today with 470 yards. Jordan Shipley got a school record with 273 yards receiving, though, so that was pretty sweet.

I'm kinda watching Bama and LSU now, but really, it doesn't matter to me who wins. Let Bama and FLA battle it out for the right to face Texas.

Doesn't the NCAA have an anti-trust exemption, though?

If it does, then any coach could theoretically have a case, arguing that Congress has made a law that prevents them from practicing their chosen profession while retaining the right of free speech.

Granted, I only saw part of the LSU-Ala game, but the part I saw looked like Ala should have won by 35 points, with about 800 yds rushing. I think Alabama was averaging over 10 yds/rush for the entire time I watched them.

(And I feel for LSU. The impression I got was that about half their team got knocked out of the game.)

But still, Alabama looked like a really good team. (Against a pretty good team.)
