Today's College Football Thread (Red River Rivalry Edition)

[fishwax]

So there are three games between ranked teams today, but the one that matters most (to me) is Oklahoma (3) against Texas (11) in the Cotton Bowl. There’s no better rivalry game in college football. North of the 50-yard line is burnt orange and south of the 50 is Sooner Crimson, and since the Cotton Bowl is in the middle of the Texas State Fair, there are thousands more fans for each team wandering the grounds outside, and plenty of opportunity to party after your team wins. The only problem is that the game often kicks off at 11 am local time, so many of the fans are still hungover from partying in the West End the night before.

The other games between ranked teams:
Florida (17) at LSU (1)
Auburn (15) at Arkansas (10)

There are some other good games today too, like Nebraska’s first Big Ten home game (against Ohio State), Arizona State at Utah, Missouri at Kansas State, and Miami at Virginia Tech.

So who does your team play? What games are you looking forward to?

Hell, I'm a Cardinal fan, a Suns fan, a DBack fan, a Sun Devil fan, a Bills fan....I'm now just happy to hear that my HS team is 7 and 0! pretty sad!!!!

It was a blow out, but what a great time! And Jefferson had 3 great picks last week, and just got another one!

[Manifestor_of_Light]

25. The Oklahoma Aggies were not televised today.

DH graduated from Oklahoma State. He converted me. I have an orange T shirt!!

I found out what a "mixed marriage" is in Oklahoma. That's when a Sooner (OU) marries a Cowboy (Aggie).

[fishwax]

27. "A House Divided"

I used to see these banners in stores in Oklahoma City when I lived there:


I don't know the score right now, but I do know that at halftime OSU leading Kansas 56-7 (:wow:). Next week they play Texas :bounce:

[fishwax]

26. Virginia Tech 38 -- Miami 35 with 56 seconds left

Miami scored a TD with about 9 minutes left and another with 3 minutes left to take a four-point lead, but Virginia Tech just scored another TD to take back the lead.

[pokerfan]

29. Next up...

[fishwax]

32. Cougs score first

:kick:

[pokerfan]

34. 3 FGs > 1 TD I guess

:banghead:

[fishwax]

36. Just when I was going to suggest aiming for 5 FGs

WSU reaches the end zone :bounce:

[gratuitous]

30. As usual, a great day to be a Wildcat

Linfield, which hasn't had a losing season in football since the Eisenhower administration (the first one), rolls up a post-war high score against an outmatch University of Puget Sound team, 73-7. Next up, at Pacific, another winless team. Time to start thinking about first round playoff match-ups.

[fishwax]

31. wow -- just checked the box score -- 42 points in the second quarter

That's impressive. :toast:

[NightWatcher]

33. Dawgs beat the Vols, Florida got beat like a drum.... It's been a good day

[grasswire]

37. My team won their game on Thursday. QUACK!

Ran right over Cal. Duck beat Bears!

Of course, though, the Ducks' Heisman trophy winner crunched his elbow and may be out for a while. That was very sad.

[blueamy66]

38. The Ohio State buckeyes

lost!!!!!!!!!

brings joy to my cold, dead heart

sorry tree nuts

[bamacrat]

39. Tide Rolls 34-0!
