Today's College Football Thread--a great slate of games today

[fishwax]

Last week was one of the best weeks for college football in a long time, with half of the top 10 losing, several other upsets in the top 25, and a lot of exciting games in general.

Whether or not this week matches last for upsets, there are five games between top 25 teams (and a sixth was played Thursday between South Carolina and Kentucky). The headliner is Florida at Louisiana State in prime time, but there are plenty of other great games to look forward to as well:

Virginia Tech at Clemson
Ohio State at Purdue
Cincinatti at Rutgers
Florida at Louisiana State
Nebraska at Missouri

The one I’m most looking forward to: Oklahoma vs. Texas—one of the greatest rivalries in college football, played at a neutral field in the middle of the Texas State Fair, with half the stadium sold to the Sooners and half to the Longhorns. (In the picture you can see where the crimson changes to burnt orange in the middle of the stands.) It doesn’t have quite the luster that it would have had both teams not been upset last week, but even so this year’s battle marks the eighth straight year in which at least one team comes into the game ranked in the top 10.



Texas has won the last two, but with any luck, the Sooners will bring the Golden Hat back where it belongs, north of the Red River :D


So what games will you be watching?

[fishwax]

1. and some other games at the fringes of the top 25

Wisconsin at Illinois--somehow, the Illini, who won two games a year for the last two years, are 2.5 point favorites against the Badgers, who are ranked in the top 10. I know Wisconsin has been winning ugly, but I was surprised by that line. Go Illini!

Kansas at Kansas State--Kansas is undefeated and on the verge of being ranked for the first time since (I think) about 1995. Kansas State is coming off a big win against Texas. It's a bitter in-state rivalry. Should be fun :)

[Droopy]

2. Hey, I have a request

I'm TV-less here and I bet that there are some other DUers out there who are as well. Would you guys mind posting the scores of the games in this thread every once in a while? I would very much appreciate it. I'm particularly interested in the Ohio State-Purdue game since I'm from the buckeye state and all.

[cobalt1999]

3. One great way without TV is using ESPN's gamecast.

You've got the score, plays, who's got the ball, field position, and it refreshes automatically.

[Droopy]

6. Cool! Is it free? n/t

[cobalt1999]

7. Gamecast is free but has slight delay (about 3-5 mins).

Good enough for me though...

http://scores.espn.go.com/ncf/scoreboard

[fishwax]

12. I'll try to keep you updated :)

I second the recommendation of ESPN's updated scoreboard, but sometimes it's fun to be able to chat about it too :)

[GOPisEvil]

4. I guess I'll watch a little of my alma mater Texas A&M v. Oklahoma St.

I wish I could be more confident about my team, but I'm just not sure about them. It's a home game, though, so that helps. But, we seem to choke on TV games. This game is on Fox Sports Net nationwide at 7:40 ET.

I think I like Saturdays more than Sundays football-wise these days.

[fishwax]

14. what's the deal with Fran?

I hear rumbles of a scandal--between that and a season below expectations, will this year be his last?

[GOPisEvil]

19. He was selling an "all-access" e-mail to super boosters.

This included information on injuries and scouting reports on players which are not made available to the general public. Although there were about a dozen subscribers, the information could have gotten out to gamblers, although there's no evidence of that to this point. The players are behind him, though. The boosters and administration may not be so kind if we have a bad year though. We are 4-1, but after this week, things get really serious though.

As for me, I've never liked the guy from day one. I thought he gave his players at Alabama the shaft.

[fishwax]

25. I would think the injury reports might be a violation of FERPA

Certainly being a booster doesn't entitle you to the personal health information of players :crazy: I saw some rumors on another board that he was going to be suspended, but I guess that never happened.

As for me, I've never liked the guy from day one. I thought he gave his players at Alabama the shaft.
I agree.

[GOPisEvil]

35. I do believe there is an ongoing investigation.

So maybe we will learn more.

[MrCoffee]

5. The Red River War

why doesn't Texas fall into the Gulf of Mexico?

because oklahoma sucks.

Hook 'Em!

[fishwax]

15. Why does "the wind come sweeping down the plain" in Oklahoma?

because Texas sucks and Kansas blows :)

BOOMER SOONER!

:)

[Carrieyazel]

80. I get 2 ABC affiliates where I'm at. One is showing Texas vs. Oklahoma

the other is showing NC State. vs. Florida St. Which is odd. I usually see the same game on both. ESPN 2 has Iowa vs. Penn St.

[GOPisEvil]

8. I fear for Mark Mangino's (Kansas' coach) health. Dude needs a diet plan, stat!

I'm watching on Fox Sports Net. Granted, he's always been a big guy, but it looks like he's getting bigger.

Seriously, my man is heading for a shortened life if he's not careful.

[fishwax]

17. Have you seen this video

Mangino almost eats a player ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmAYpAzNB34

But seriously, he was big when he was at OU and he has gotten bigger since then. Between that and his temper, it can't be good for his health :scared:

[sasquatch]

50. I can see his heart exploding like a zit one day

[Droopy]

9. Ooooooooooo. Illinois takes an early 7-0 lead over Wisconsin

I'd like to see them beat the Badgers.

[cobalt1999]

10. Can the Zooker do it 2 weekends in a row?

If so, when's the last time Illinois beat two ranked teams back to back?

[Droopy]

13. Probably since the Ice Age.

:)

[fishwax]

18. Wisconsin misses a 37 (or so) yard field goal ...

Still 7-0, with Illinois driving :woohoo:

[fishwax]

29. And a 50-yard field goal gives Illinois a 10-point lead!

[fishwax]

36. TOUCHDOWN ILLINOIS!

17-0 :wow:

[Droopy]

42. If they win it's really going to help out my Buckeyes

as long as they win later tonight. I just hope they don't have yet to play Illinois! Illinois the giant killers.

[fishwax]

44. they play, but it's late in the season and it's at Ohio State

It's the week before Michigan--could be for the conference title :D

But, then again, there's a lot of football left to play this year. And this game--Wisconsin is driving inside the Illinois 30.

[fishwax]

48. 17-13 Illini now

But Illinois is driving deep into Wisconsin territory ...

[fishwax]

49. Touchdown Illini! 24-13!

[coffeenap]

11. What, nobody's watching Lake Forest vs. Lawrence???

How could you miss that one? It's homecoming, after all, geesh.

[fishwax]

21. Go Foresters!

(I had to look it up ;))

[Ava]

16. I'm pulling for Texas in that game

just because it may be my future college :P ;)

[fishwax]

20. oh, and to think I've wished you luck with the Tide in the past

:shakes head:

Well, I won't resort to a "War Eagle" cheer, but I'm tempted :P

(Seriously, though--Texas is a good school. Good luck if you go there :))

[Ava]

22. it wouldn't bother me, i'm an auburn fan too

seriously. as long as they are not playing against alabama i always pull for auburn. i was so excited when they beat florida last week!
:woohoo:

texas is a good school, and they have an awesome film program ;)

[GOPisEvil]

23. Yeah, but you'd be a tea-sipper.

:P

Seriously though, it is a good school, and I almost went there. Plus, if you're here in Austin, you can come hang out with the local Democrats. We're everywhere. :)

[Ava]

24. i love Austin

another plus to going the school there. it's is an awesome city!

[GOPisEvil]

27. I agree.

I love living here.

If I had that decision to make over again, I might have chosen differently. UT's campus intimidated me with its size when I was 17. A&M's campus was much smaller and felt more "campus-like". Of course now A&M's campus is MUCH bigger.

[Ava]

28. well A&M is a good school too

i just have really been looking into UT because of their film program - it's one of the best in the country.

i just know for sure that i have GOT to get away from here! :rofl:

[GOPisEvil]

31. Can't say as I blame ya.

For a film school, UT's is hard to beat. Plus, there is a lot of film industry going on around here (Linklater, Rodriguez, Tarantino and others).

If you come to Austin, there are a lot of DUers here. :)

[Ava]

37. indeed

and austin has some really good film festivals and a good film crowd in general. it's definitely a place i'd love to go. of course my mom has already told me that if i go out of state i have to stay in a dorm the whole time :rofl:

[GOPisEvil]

39. Well...at UT some of the "dorms" are technically off-campus.

But don't tell her. :D

[Ava]

40. oooh reeeaaaallly?

lol :P

[GOPisEvil]

41. Start here.

There's a menu for clicking "live on campus" and "apartments". I think apartments are for families and graduate students primarily, but I do know undergraduate students that live in them.

http://www.utexas.edu/student/housing/

[Ava]

45. yeah i've seen that page

i've been looking at lot of different colleges lately

[Droopy]

26. A shocker in the making

North Carolina (1-4) is leading Miami-FL(4-1) 13-0 in the second quarter.

[fishwax]

30. looks like they're about to score again, too

North Carolina went for it on 4th and 1 from the Miami 2-yard line. They got the first down but didn't get the touchdown yet. 1st and goal from about the one ...

[Droopy]

32. Holy shit! NC 20 - Miami-FL 0!

[fishwax]

34. that really is a shocker--what the heck is the deal with Miami

:shrug:

[fishwax]

38. now 27-0

:wow:

[fishwax]

51. Don't look now, but Miami has scored 20 unanswered

It's 27-20 with a few minutes left in the third ...

[fishwax]

33. Bowling Green is playing Boston College pretty close

Just scored a touchdown to make it 14-10 BC.

[fishwax]

46. not anymore

38-10 at halftime ...

[TZ]

43. Looks like Maryland hs found themselves a real QB

Beating a good defensive team in GT 21-3 in the second quarter! Just don't forget to show up in the second half guys!!!
Go Terps!
On edit: The moment I post a brag the offense goes south! Oh well at least they didn't turn the ball over...

[fishwax]

47. maryland has looked good at times this year

I saw the first half of the West Virginia game and bits and pieces of the Rutgers game, so I guess I've mostly seen them at their best. Dunno what happened at Wake Forest, though :blush:

I knew they had a good chance to beat Ga Tech, but I didn't expect the score to be that lopsided ...

[greatauntoftriplets]

52. The NU - Michigan STate game is exciting with NU now leading 41 - 34.

Go Sooners!!

On edit: Now tied 41 all.

x(

[fishwax]

54. ha! I was thinking about you because they've showed a few highlights of that

in the game I'm watching.

The announcer said: every time you turn your head, one of these teams scores. It looks like an exciting game :)

[greatauntoftriplets]

60. Now in OT.

The suspense is killing me.

:o

[greatauntoftriplets]

62. NU wins in overtime 48 - 41.

I am too damn old for this.

Go Sooners!

[fishwax]

63. cool! congrats!

I hope both your teams win today ;)

BOOMER SOONER! :toast:

[greatauntoftriplets]

64. Thanks, me too.

:toast:

[fishwax]

53. time is running out on Wisconsin

Touchdown Illinois!!! 31-19 with 5:28 left! :woohoo:

[fishwax]

57. ILLINOIS WINS!!!

:woohoo:
:bounce::bounce::bounce:
:woohoo:

[fishwax]

61. first win against a top 5 team since 1989!

[WildEyedLiberal]

111. I almost baked to death out there!

But it was worth it! What a great game! GO ILLINOIS!!!

:woohoo: :bounce: :bounce: :woohoo:

I'm still a little worried about their QB consistency and the pass coverage, but they still held off the number 5 team in the country - now onto Iowa and then back to Champaign for Michigan!

11-1 - is it possible??

[fishwax]

112. Man, I bet that was a blast

It was an exciting game to watch on TV, that's for sure.

I actually had a chance to go to the game, but I would have had to miss the beginning of the OU Texas game, so I had to pass. :( It looked like a great crowd, and it was cool how many were there even a good while after the game was over.

11-1--who knows? I never would have dreamed 5-1 was possible before the season. But they're playing well. Michigan has to come here, and tOSU is late enough in the season that anything can happen.

No matter what happens from here on out, though, you can remember being at this game for a long time to come :bounce::toast::bounce:

[WildEyedLiberal]

114. It was really, really, really hot - it was probably just as well you watched it at home

But heat aside I'm really glad I got to be there. LOTS of Badger fans here today - some red-painted-chest dudes sitting near me, and one dude with a fro wig and an "Illinois sucks" shirt. He got a lot of crap after the game, LOL.

Good luck to your Sooners!

:bounce: :toast: :bounce:

[sasquatch]

68. Way to go Wussconsin!

:eyes:
Jackasses!
x(

[fishwax]

55. Kansas and Kansas State is shaping up for a good finish

Kansas just scored a touchdown to go up 27-24 with 6:27 to go ...

[fishwax]

56. now 30-24 with 2:24 to go

[RoyGBiv]

58. BOOMER!!!

Gawd I love this game, even when the good guys lose. No atmosphere like it in college football.

[fishwax]

59. SOONER!!!

Gawd I love this game, even when the good guys lose. No atmosphere like it in college football.
Amen to that. I've been looking forward to this for, oh, about 51 weeks and 6 days :)

:toast:

[fishwax]

65. OU strikes first

What a great drive that was for Bradford. Great touch on the long ball to Iggy and the one that was called back to Gresham, and great patience on that touchdown pass to Gresham.

:toast:

[RoyGBiv]

66. It was quite pretty ...

I was a tad concerned, though, that he kept going to the long pass. Seemed almost like a desperate "I'll get this done one way or the other" move, perhaps trying to rebuild his confidence after last week.

Since it worked, seems all good.

Exciting game so far. Never seems to disappoint there.

[fishwax]

67. that's a good point, and we've to establish something on the ground

Because, good as he looked on those, I don't want him having to rely on that either.

OU ball inside the 10--hopefully another long drive coming up ...

[RoyGBiv]

70. Back and forth so far ...

So far this seems to be the most equally balanced game in awhile. Defenses are beating each other up pretty good.

Bradford has a lot of composure when being sacked, btw. A lot of seniors would panic facing what he has so far.

[fishwax]

71. man, I forgot how nerve wracking this could be

Yeah, Bradford made good decisions not getting desperate on those last two plays. What is up with the Offensive Line, though? That's supposed to be a strength. They are not looking great today.

[RoyGBiv]

72. They're facing Texas' D-Line ...

That's about all I can say. :)

I get irritated with television coverage, and it makes me want to be there all the more. I'm having trouble seeing the "push" on a snap and seeing what's really going on. Not sure if people are missing assignments, getting overpowered, or just outrun.

[fishwax]

75. that does make a difference :) but they've got another good-looking drive brewing

I know that Texas's scores have both been quick, but I like that we've had more success sustaining drives, since ball control is what killed us last week and since it's apparently really hot in the stadium today.

Texas's O-Line is doing a good job of picking up our blitzes, and their TE is killing us, but if OU can get that problem solved (and maybe tackle a little better), we should be in good shape.

[RoyGBiv]

74. If Bradford stays healthy ...

...and OU keeps a decent O-line, he's gonna be scary good.

That kind of patience in a freshman is just unbelievable.

Oh, and BOOMER!!!

[fishwax]

76. nice tackle by the umpire

:)

Bradford really does look wise beyond his years in the pocket. He's going to be fun to watch over the next few years. The only thing that worries me is that we lose a few from the O-line after this year, and--as Colt McCoy last year vs. Colt McCoy this year demonstrates--that can make a pretty big difference.

[RoyGBiv]

78. True ...

The composure aspect is what encourages me. If he were more nervous in the pocket and was making a lot of bad decisions, I'd really worry about next year's O-line makeup.

Of course the O-line is always (an often under-appreciated) factor in any quarterback's success. Josh Heupel was a clear beneficiary.

[fishwax]

82. I think you're right that his composure will be a huge factor

He is so collected it really is easy to forget that he's a freshman. He doesn't ever panic, doesn't seem to get rattled, doesn't lose his confidence, and he also keeps level when things are going really well, too. And he's only going to get better :)

[fishwax]

88. pretty good illustration of what you're talking about

2nd and 13, running the shotgun in his own endzone on the Texas fans side of the stadium, and he just taps around until he sees Iglesias open and pops it to him. Damn! :woohoo:

[RoyGBiv]

93. That was a thing of beauty ...

I was having flashbacks of the 90's there for a minute when OU couldn't fight its way out of its own side of the field with a team of tanks.

[fishwax]

94. what a drive! Now the defense needs a stop.

Bradford was un. be. lievable.

[RoyGBiv]

100. How's THAT for a stop!

BOOMER!!!

[fishwax]

103. Time to dig down for another one now

SOONER!!!

[fishwax]

69. Tennessee is up big on Georgia

21-0 :wow:

[fishwax]

73. now 28-0

[fishwax]

77. Wazoo up three on Arizona State

3-0 in the second ...

[fishwax]

87. now up 10-7 at halftime

[fishwax]

115. all tied up with about 4 minutes to go

[fishwax]

79. Florida Atlantic and South Florida are tied up with less than a minute in the first half

That would be a shocker, if South Florida worked their way into the Top 10 only to lose to FAU ...

[TZ]

81. Here's where I complain about TV coverage of games

I wanted to see Texas-Oklahoma but what do they broadcast here- either Penn State-Iowa (eh) or Florida State-NC state-(and I loathe Florida State). Even the alternative network SEC game Georgia-Tennessee is a blow out. Guess I will watch the Va Tech-Clemson game at 6. Seems like that might be a good game.
Ah well, my Terps did win, even if what should have been a blowout turned into a squeaker at 28-26.

[fishwax]

83. I hear ya, that sucks. :( I had to get the gameplan package when we moved away from

Oklahoma because I'd be having a total meltdown on a day like today if I were stuck watching Iowa at Penn State (which is what my local ABC channel is playing).

The Virginia Tech--Clemson game should be a good one, though :)

[Carrieyazel]

84. I'm within reach of 2 ABC affiliates. One is showing Texas vs. Oklahoma

and the other was showing NC State vs. Florida St. (Washington/Baltimore)

I believe ESPN2 was showing Iowa vs. Penn State here. I don't know how they determine the break down.

[fishwax]

85. that's odd ... but convenient :)

[UrbScotty]

86. Central Michigan 58, Ball State 38.

[taterguy]

89. Did anyone else just see the ref get hit by the pass in the NC State/ Florida State game

Comedy gold. He gave the quarterback the evil eye and waved the incomplete sign. You'll have to take my word for it since I doubt it'll make highlight films.

[fishwax]

90. lol! I missed that

In the OU-Texas game there was an umpire made a tackle with a leg whip (he was trying to get out of the way and failed :rofl:)

A big day for the refs, apparently :)

[RoyGBiv]

98. It was a spectacular failure too ...

I feel sorry for 'em sometimes ... then I wake up. :)

[cobalt1999]

91. OU-TX is a great game so far.

It's one of those games, I enjoy watching but also glad I'm not emotionally vested with either team.

[taterguy]

92. A certain President claims to be pulling for Texas

Does that help?

[cobalt1999]

97. Okay, that's all I need to pick sides in this game.

Go Okalahoma!

[fishwax]

95. tell ya what, it's exhausting having a horse in this race

:bounce:

[RoyGBiv]

96. Oh, it'll kill ya ...

Gotta say though, it's the only rivalry game I've ever regularly attended where I wasn't made to feel like scum after my team lost. Texas fans in the West End after one particularly heartbreaking OU loss bought my friends and I all steak dinners in consolation. We ended up paying them back with the bar tab, and a good time was had by all.

[fishwax]

99. breathin a little easier right now though

Way to go Reggie Smith!

[cobalt1999]

101. See? As soon as I started cheering for you guys, you pull ahead.

I better not be using up all my positive energy before the Florida-LSU game this evening though!

[fishwax]

102. 'ppreciate the help

I'll return the favor :)

:toast:

[blonndee]

104. One of the best I've seen in a while!

Man, this is a good one no matter how it turns out. I'm glad to see my beloved Sooners doing well today.

BOOMER SOONER!!

[cobalt1999]

105. Beautiful breakup of that pass.

It was a perfect play call too.

[fishwax]

106. certainly better than the last couple years down in Dallas

Not great for my mental health, though ;)

BOOMER SOONER!

[fishwax]

107. 2:12 to go

Third and long for Texas ...

[fishwax]

108. SOONERS WIN!!!

:woohoo:
:bounce::bounce::bounce:
:woohoo:
:applause::applause::applause:
:woohoo:

[cobalt1999]

109. Congrats, but you owe me a few of "Go Gators!" tonight

:)

[fishwax]

110. you got it :)

It should be a good game, though for your sake I'll be hoping it's not quite as exciting as this one was ;)

:toast:

[mvd]

113. Yea Penn State!

I know they blew any championship hopes, but they are still my college team.

[fishwax]

116. did they blow Iowa out today?

I think the last score I saw was 20-0 ... I'll have to check on the final score.

Congrats to your Nittany Lions :toast:

[mvd]

118. Thanks!

It was 27-7.

[TZ]

117. Wow, Va Tech is killing Clemson

Tech just had a 100 yard kick off return, after Clemson managed a field goal..Its 24-3 with 7 minutes in the second quarter
Not sure how many offensive yards Tech has either--they have a punt return, a KO return and and interception for a TD. Talk about classic Beamer Ball....

[greatauntoftriplets]

119. Yippee!!! The Golden Hat is heading back to where it belongs!

Congratulations, Sooners.

Now, can we please use the same vibes on the Cubs?

Edited to fix embarassing typo.

:blush:

[RoyGBiv]

120. If only ...

I'm afraid the Cubs need more than vibes. They need full-on electroshock therapy or something.

(sigh)

[SacredCow]

121. All I can say is....

[cobalt1999]

122. Go Gators!

Actually, I think LSU gets easy revenge for last year tonight, but I'll be cheering on my Gators until the bitter end.

[fishwax]

123. watching Les Miles lead his team onto the field, I'm reminded just

how huge his mouth is ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_oiV_enW1E

[SacredCow]

131. My Tigers are sucking some butt tonight....

meh

[cobalt1999]

133. Well, you started slow last week and then exploded in the second half.

My Gators are playing better than I expected though.

[RoyGBiv]

137. This is a good game ...

Gators are looking good out there. First time I've seen 'em play this year.

[cobalt1999]

138. Yes, but I wish I wasn't emotionally involved.

[fishwax]

143. Touchdown Florida!

24-14 ...

[cobalt1999]

146. This has been a great game.

Even if Florida loses, they'd played much better against LSU than I expected and they are fighting hard.

[fishwax]

155. They did indeed play very well

That's got to be a tough one to lose ... perhaps you'll have another chance in the SEC Championship Game.

[fishwax]

124. Florida strikes first

3-0 Gators!

[fishwax]

127. 10-0 Gators

[fishwax]

128. 10-7 now

Pretty impressive drive by LSU. Time for the Gators to answer ...

[fishwax]

129. touchdown Florida

An impressive answer for Florida. They're looking very good tonight. 17-7.

[cobalt1999]

130. I'm keeping my fingers crossed our young defense can hold before the half.

The offense is looking good though.

[fishwax]

132. wide right!

hold they did :toast:

[petronius]

152. Geaux Tigers! I would never have gone for it on 4th and goal, trailing by 3

I guess that's why I'm not an SEC head coach...

:beer:

[jus_the_facts]

156. They went for it FIVE TIMES ON FOURTH DOWN...and made it EVERY SINGLE TIME...

....holy fuckin' shit! :woohoo: :toast:

[VenusRising]

125. Buckeyes up 14-0!

Go Bucks!!

:bounce::bounce::bounce:

[fishwax]

126. they came out blazing

things seem to have leveled out a little not, but tOSU started this game very strong.

[VenusRising]

134. I'm surprised Purdue didn't capitalize on that pick.

Buckeye defense is strong tonight.

[VenusRising]

136. Another interception.

dammit!!!

:grr:

Knock that $#!+ off!

[cobalt1999]

135. Is Notre Dame going to get a win this week?

Only down 3 in the 3rd quarter.

[petronius]

139. Stanford! 24-23 with 0:49 left...

:wtf:

[fishwax]

140. um ... wow!

I just saw the highlight. Unbelievable. :wow:

[petronius]

141. Game over! USC loses!!!

GO Bears! Geaux Tigers!

Thank you Stanford (from a very happy Cal and LSU grad)!

[fishwax]

142. unbelievable!

I know that USC has been playing with fire against a lot of lesser teams, but this week they really got burned. :wow:

[Mz Pip]

144. Go BEARS!

If LSU loses then CAL WILL BE #1. As a Cal grad, (and an old one, too) I am close to nirvana.

Mz Pip

147. I'm a Cal grad and an LSU grad - I'm pretty conflicted, but either way I'll have

a #1 team. How weird is it to be happy about a Stanford win? :rofl:

148. Totally weird

Rooting for Stanford has this sort of unclean feeling about it. But what the hell. It's not like I've never had an unclean thought before. :evilgrin:

145. This has been another incredible week of college football

It's hard to imagine anything approaching last week, when five top 10 teams lost--but this week three have lost already, including two in the top five, with another top five team trailing by ten.

Overall this has just been an amazing year to be a college football fan.

149. A&M is going to beat OK State, 24-23.

A&M trailed 17-0 at the half and came back to win. :woohoo:

150. that was an impressive comeback

I didn't see much of it, being distracted by other games, but congrats to the Aggies :toast:

151. Well, from here on out, the schedule gets a lot tougher.

We need as many of these wins as we can pile up so we can go to some sort of bowl game.

Thanks, and congratulation to the Sooners. That was a good game.

153. LSU wins!! No doubt about who's #1 now!

Great game from Florida, however - hope we don't see them in the SEC championship...

154. No lie....

I was sure they were going to hand it to them...
