College Football!!!!!

[Johnnyb]

College Football has officially begun!

South Carolina beat North Carolina State in a close one 7-3. NC State almost won it, but the receiver let a TD slip through his fingers.

Oregon is playing at Boise State right now and this looks like it could be a great one on the Smurf Turf.

I'm just excited real football is here! Leavin for Atlanta tomorrow to go see Alabama take on the Hokies, Roll Tide!!!

[BoroTitan]

Im leaving for Florida tomorrow to see my gators take on Charleston Southern in which florida is favored by like 73 LOL

Cant wait for the tailgate!

[ZachLV27]

I'm pretty sure real football didn't start until after that crappy SC game was over.

[ZachLV27]

Oregon's tailback said before the game that they were "itching for payback" for their last loss to Boise State. So how does he go about getting his payback? He gets shut down by Boise State's defense all night long and then right after the game he takes a cheap shot and punches a Boise State player in the jaw and then went after the Boise State fans. The piece of crap should be kicked off their team and suspended.

The thug should be arrested as well.

[Parddy]

He was already suspended once earlier this year. This knucklehead is GONE!

[Titansfan777]

wow, I seriously love those new Oregon Uniforms...I like them a lot more than Michigan's new ones even.

[Parddy]

I don't know, Michigan is tradition... I kind of like them simple, it goes great with their helmet design. Oregons unis are pretty sweet.

[Titansfan777]

I don't know, Michigan is tradition... I kind of like them simple, it goes great with their helmet design. Oregons unis are pretty sweet.

yeah Michiga seems to only change their unis ever 15-20 years it seems...they have only hade maybe 5 or so looks ever. The basic blue/white, the double shoulder stripes, back to solid blue/white, single sleeve stripes, small blue line on away jerseys with the single stripe, and now those. I just wish they had blue pants for away games :sad I think they would look sharp with solid blue pants with a small maize line like on the jerseys

[MillaKilla8]

http://i29.tinypic.com/33emp9k.gif

hahahahahaha what an idiot...it was funny too because i was watching the game with some oregon fans and they all freak out. plus its funny to see all the oregon fans freak out on face book: "fire kelly" "blount sucks" "oregon sucks". haha i love it.

go beavers

Dumb move, but you have to admit, he knocked the smile off that guy's face.

I bet he won't run his mouth again after that.

[ZachLV27]

Dumb move, but you have to admit, he knocked the smile off that guy's face.

I bet he won't run his mouth again after that.

That shot is a little deceiving. In the other angle you can see he popped right back up a split second later. That punch just stunned him as he didn't expect it.

You are right that he probably wont talk trash anymore since Peterson ripped him a new one.

I do love what he said though. He said something along the lines of "You now owe us two ass whoopins". This was in response to Blount saying that Oregon owed us an ass whoopin.

[Jones31]

Well he got suspended for the rest of the season for his punch.

[Titanico]

No one can deny that was a good jab...

[TitansFan23]

Caught him right on the button.

[TitansFan23]

At the end, look at that big dude in the white shirt coming towards Blount. Reminds me of a bouncer coming after a drunk in a nightclub.

He parts those players like Moses did the Red Sea.

Get that man in some pads.:lol

Yeah, the blue pants would be really sharp.

[MillaKilla8]

Im goin to the beaver game tommorrow morning! Im pumpeddd!!!

[TTP77]

Vols 14-0 over WKU...Yay! Vols D looking good so far

[hooktool]

21-0 now. It's gotten ugly pretty quick.

John

[Noisy Nosebleed]

21-0 now. It's gotten ugly pretty quick.

John

No kidding. Got up to make my chili and came back just in time for 28-0. The line is 30.5, so I hope they keep it up. :thumbsup

[TTP77]

blowout in the works in k'town. i know its wku but we do look better this year no question. our d is gonna be strong i think.

[Titan723]

blowout in the works in k'town. i know its wku but we do look better this year no question. our d is gonna be strong i think.

Until you play Florida.

[TTP77]

yawn, ok. i'm sure florida is better but i'll be glad to see improvement this year for Tennessee. Last year we couldn't blow out the bad teams.

[Titan723]

Damn, Navy had a chance to tie Ohio State with a 2 point conversion with 2:23 left. Ohio St picked off the pass and took a back for 2 points putting Ohio St up by 4.

[TitansFan23]

Tennessee is beating WKU like a drum.

[TTP77]

we look to be a better disclinplined team this year. If that holds the entire year and we are competitive I'll be a satisfied fan.

[TitansFan23]

Just think how good this team could be with the players who are currently injured.

Highest score since 2000.

The Kiffin era begins, and it's looking pretty good.

[TitansFan23]

we look to be a better disclinplined team this year. If that holds the entire year and we are competitive I'll be a satisfied fan.

Me too.

This team is very young.

The future looks bright.

[dakid]

Me too.

This team is very young.

The future looks bright.

Today was also a show to give Lane a recruit tool in his back pocket, He'll be able to walk into a super star high school kids home and show them that's he's not all talk, he'll give you a fair open shot at playing.

UT's freshmen looked very good today, yes it was Western Ky, but they showed power and skill with the ball in their hands. Just wait until Lane and the boys get some more kids in that fit into their system..then Rocky Top will be back near the top.

[TTP77]

Jesse Mahelona killed in a car accident today. so very sad. i read that earlier on another board and it's been confirmed.

[Jones31]

I saw that also... was awaiting confirmation.

[Titansfan777]

Michigans two frosh qb's looking damn good.

[TitansFan23]

The game next week between UM and ND should be pretty good.

[Titansfan777]

Michigans d is taking a dump on wmu right now. And wmu has a pretty solid offense too. Wmu was favored to win by alot of talking heads and right Now they are down 31-0

[MillaKilla8]

Beavers take it to PSU 34-7. Quizz looked great as usual, 103 yards rushing and 32 yards receiving, 3touchdowns- in a little over one half of playing time.

[MillaKilla8]

There are a lot of games on ESPN360.com btw

http://espn.go.com/broadband/espn360/player?gameId=292480057&sportCode=FB

[nikki32]

Looks like Sam Bradford may be out with an injury.

[TitansGiantsBears]

Looks like another year with Ohio State getting ranked high and showing they aren't really much of a team. Maybe it's time to take away the Big 10's automatic bid.

[Titansfan777]

Michigan rested it's starters after going up 31-0 in the first half and coasted to a 31-7 victory. The new pressboxes really amp up the sound and make it loud!!! Tate forcier looks like he could be a stud of a QB and he is only an 18 year old running around. He reminds me and others of Troy smith in terms of who he plays Like and his mobility. Norte Dame is gonna be a good game next week I tell you what. Hopefully Brandon minor returns next week as he is the best RB in the conference and had to sit out today. I expect ND to win since Michigan is the youngest team in the conference but I expect a close one. I'm saying 36-31 ND

[Titansfan777]

Looks like another year with Ohio State getting ranked high and showing they aren't really much of a team. Maybe it's time to take away the Big 10's automatic bid.

What did u think of Pryor's face with mike vick written on it

[Serge]

Good to see #1 Florida and #2 Texas are setting the tone for the rest of the season by showing that they are the teams to beat by playing real tough first games against Charleston Southern and UL- Monroe. Way to bring it guys!! :doh

[MillaKilla8]

anyone watching oklahoma byu? just stopped byu 3 times on the goal line, but got a penalty, but then stopped them 3 more times. oklahoma is kicking a field goal now i think.

[MillaKilla8]

BYU just scored with 3 minutes left, 14-13 lead.

[TitansFan23]

They left OU too much time

[MillaKilla8]

And the kicker screwed up

[nikki32]

It will be a miracle if OU wins this. But Bob Stoops can pull a hooker outta his ass if he needs to. Not sure that will help them win though.

[MillaKilla8]

Kickin it....4th down..54 yarder

[MillaKilla8]

Short! game over

[Jones31]

Suicide watch in Norman!

[MillaKilla8]

Suicide watch in Norman!

rofl

[TitansFan23]

Ugly game between Bama and VT.

[TitansGiantsBears]

What did u think of Pryor's face with mike vick written on it

Not sure what you're talking about? :huh

[MillaKilla8]

Best just ripped one 73 yards.
Its 14-0 now, MAryland fumbled and Cal scored quickly again.
Washington vs LSU startin up now

[TitansFan23]

I saw that fumble coming.

You got to wrap up the football Bama.

[TitansFan23]

Alabama has a strong D, but I don't believe they have an offense that will get them an SEC title.

[MillaKilla8]

7-0 Washington.

[PBV]

I loved watching Navy bring it to OSU,
and drinking beer
I loved watching the other OSU beating the other team.

[MillaKilla8]

Washington still doesnt play defense .... lol

[MillaKilla8]

True that PBV. This has been a great day of football.

[TitansFan23]

Bama punches it in to take a 7 point lead.

Exactly. Not that the sports "casters" will ever talk about it. I was totally rooting for Navy. OSU is not as good as advertised.

[MillaKilla8]

OSU is not as good as advertised.

Whats new? lol.
USC will give it too them, again...

[MillaKilla8]

Washington is playing some good football right now. 10-10. If it werent for two turnovers who knows they may be winning right now. I <3 football.

[Titansfan777]

Not sure what you're talking about? :huh

Apparently alot of people are kinda pissy about how he had Mike Vick written on his face. I didnt think much of it but alot of people are weird about it.

mmm michigan stadium was looking good today with the new pressboxes. Rumor has it that they just might be adding the 2nd deck in one of the endzones a little sooner than later. But its just kind of a rumor.

[shadowboxin']

Houston beats NW St. (Dudley Guice's school) 55-7. Keenum had 359 yards and 4 TDs.... in 2 quarters.

Oklahoma State better not sleep on the Coogs.

[MillaKilla8]

24-13 LSU with 7 min left....cmon U DUB!

[TitansFan23]

24-13 LSU with 7 min left....cmon U DUB!

Nail... Meet Coffin.

30-13 LSU

[MillaKilla8]

Nail... Meet Coffin.

Still, hats off to Washington.
They came into this game having lost their last 14 games, and facing a ranked SEC opponent. Pretty much everyone figured they get their asses whooped on Nat'l TV. They didn't, helluva a fight by the Huskies. Even though they got the L it was still a positive for them.

Anyways, hope the Beavers don't have this much trouble with them.

[MillaKilla8]

30-13 LSU

Its actually 31-16. :lolhit:thumbsup


make it 23-31. game over

[Titansfan777]

so week one is essentially over...what games are you looking forward to net week?

[MillaKilla8]

so week one is essentially over...what games are you looking forward to net week?

Oregon State UNLV
USC Ohio State
Michigan Notre Dame

[Titansfan777]

Oregon State UNLV
USC Ohio State
Michigan Notre Dame

I completely forgot about this one. It should be a good game I think.

Notre Dame and Michigan State are the only teams that worry me really for Michigan this year (I already have OSU and PSU as losses)...if they beat MSU and ND, they are going bowling this year IMO...

W-Notre Dame-Hard one but I think Michigan can pull it out
W-Eastern Michigan-Easy win
W-Indiana-Big 10 opener against the worst B10 team
W@ Michigan State-They hung in with them last year and this year there is no javon ringer
L-@ Iowa-Too tough and strong for them
W-Delaware State-Should be an easy win
L-Penn State-Best Penn state team in years that is very strong and tough=Loss
L-@ Illinois-Too much firepower for Michigan
W-Purdue-Should be able to beat them by running the ball down their throats
W-@ Wisconsin-Wisc is falling apart it seems and is no better than Michigan last year
L-Ohio State-I predict a close game with Michigan losing its 6th in a row at the end

[TitansFan23]

so week one is essentially over...what games are you looking forward to net week?

Tennessee - UCLA

[Sect309Fan]

Vandy - LSU

I can't remember the last time Vandy beat LSU, but they have had some memorable close losses to them. Playing Baton Rouge is very tough, but Vandy looked very good against Western Carolina last night. Vandy has also had a lot of SEC success in the early games of each season.

I am looking forward to UT-UCLA as well. UT dominated Western KY yesterday, and Crompton looked like the SEC QB that they recruited him to be.

[MillaKilla8]

Vandy has a chance against LSU w/o a doubt i think they can beat em.

[shadowboxin']

so week one is essentially over...what games are you looking forward to net week?

Houston - Oklahoma State

[MillaKilla8]

Ole Miss kickin a FG. 3-0 over memphis.

[MillaKilla8]

Anyone watching MEmphis game? They are sure givin Ole Miss a fight. They have a good D.

[Sect309Fan]

Anyone watching MEmphis game? They are sure givin Ole Miss a fight. They have a good D.

I watched some of it. Unfortunately, right as I watched, Memphis failed on 4th down, and Ole Miss scored soon after. Final: Ole Miss 45 - Memphis 14

[MillaKilla8]

Yeah i know the play your talking about...the game was way closer than what the score says, Ole Miss poored it on at the end.

[Titansfan777]

really random but a cool photo I found online:

[Parddy]

UConn vs (21) North Carolina...... It might not be much of a game though. :sad

[Titansfan777]

have the new polls come out yet

[Parddy]

I have not seen them... Carolina was 21 last week. My bad.

[PBV]

have the new polls come out yet

Not yet.

I hope JimOKC is alright. Tough way to start such a long awaited season, especially with Bradford's injury still up in the air. I still remember Colt McCoy's freshman year, when he was on track to break the Freshman QB record. He punched that TD in on 4-1 and busted up his shoulder/neck. Still tied the record, but should have broken it. Lost to KSU I believe and A&M, and the injury ruined what was a great season.

I can't imagine starting a season this way. We need a playoff, so teams that are down can still bounce back. :sad
One loss and done for the season is some BS.

[shadowboxin']

They still have hope for the Big 12 title... but after what I saw from the backup, their MNC hopes are gone.

[shadowboxin']

have the new polls come out yet

They'll probably be out sometime Tuesday afternoon, since there's still some games to be played, including a good one tomorrow night (Miami-FSU).

[Titansfan777]

Epic showdown between Miami and FSU, one of the best games I've seen in years

[JimOkc]

I'm OK. Watched a lot of football Saturday. Pokes looked good. Horns looked good. OUs line looked terrible (4 out of 5 new starters including a center that was a tight-end/fullback previously). Tough to watch (as a fan) but was a good close game. I was impressed with a redshirt freshman that didn't have a lot of help from his teammates.

News today is that Bradford will be out 2-4 weeks but has a second opinion scheduled today. On Sunday, I talked to one of the assistant coaches. At that point, I was hearing that Sam wouldn't play again this season.

Where's that disciplined team I saw last week? A lil worried here even though its tied at 3.

[TTP77]

TD Vols after fumble recovery and one offensive play. I love it. Trying real hard not to have big expectations lol

[PBV]

Im enjoying Texas Wyoming/ ND Michiigan/ Tenn UCLA. 3 very competitve games. WTF wyoming? They have played very well.

[Titan723]

This Michigan/Notre Dame is a good game. Hopefully Michigan can hold the lead for the rest of the game. Can't stand Notre Dame.

This game would be much better if the officiating wasn't so bad.

Crompton still not much. Better than last year maybe

[Sect309Fan]

Great day of football so far. Go Houston! Go Michigan! Go UCLA!

[PBV]

Wow what great football.
Congrats Michigan on pulling out an epic win!

Keep your chins up Vol fans, it was a great game, and I doubt any team will go undefeated in the SEC.

Can someone please tell me how there was 11 seconds before the kickoff, 10 seconds on the clock after the kickoff (ball was kicked out of the endzone and never touched), and then 9 seconds on the clock at the start of the next play? They took a second off when a second was supposed to be put on. Now tell me how the hell the officials can just run off the field and ignore Weiss while he was trying to talk to them about the clock.

The officials in this game were a disgrace and a game as good as that shouldn't have ever ended like that.

[ZachLV27]

How bout my baby wolverines. The youngest team in d. 1

Charlie Weis (lets throw 2 fade passes while trying to run out the clock) and the Big Ten officials (I could go on and on about all the horrible calls or lack of calls) gave you guys that game.

I'm pissed about both of those things.

With that said, you guys do have a nice young QB in Forcier and I think he will be good as long as Rodriguez doesn't screw up his head (stick to one QB for the kids sake). I'm not so sure how good of a season you guys will have, but that win has got to feel good.

[Titansfan777]

Calling was iffy both ways. Maybe a alight edge to Michigan but nothing to really change the game more than what did change. Good game. Hopefully on espn classic soon

[ZachLV27]

As a ND fan I probably noticed more bad calls going against us than went against Michigan, but it probably was closer then my biased opinion saw it. I just hate that the officials played a role in what was a real good game.

I'll put this loss more on Weis than I will anyone else though. I still can't understand why you would call a fade pass and a deep pass when you are trying to run out the clock. Those incomplete passes could have been a minute run off the clock.

[ZachLV27]

Oh well. Here's to hoping this USC / OSU game can be just as competitive. I like both of these schools (grew up in SoCal and had some real good friends and family that attended OSU) so I don't really care who wins.

I also have the Boise State game (I went to school there) to keep an eye on.

Gotta love this time of year with football and baseball.

[Titansfan777]

Finally, my teams are back tho it seems...the grizzlies with their newfound offensive firepower (conley, AI, Gay, Mayo, Gasol, Randolph are all guys who can go for over 20 in a night), the Titans, and now maybe Michigan in both basketball and football...not to mention baseball and softball too. And my beloved Redwings and Tigers.

[MillaKilla8]

USC with the early lead

[Titansfan777]

come on tUOS ("the university of ohio state" as pryor ever so elegantly put it when he signed his NLI)

[shadowboxin']

How bout them Coogs? F*&^ YEAH!

[PBV]

I'm really digging football today.
What I thought was maybe allergies, turned into full-on lung congestion, so I'm sitting here feeling like ****e still wearing my Beer Nuts® PJs and a Longhorns t-shirt, and just soaking up some good football. USC OSU kicking, Vandy LSU kicking, Alabama FIU was a kicking game, Georgia SC kicking. What a great way to spend a sick day. Awesome.

[kfmac70]

Vandy had a great game plan, but it's hard to win when senior receivers drop three third down conversion passes put right in their hands.

And the bogus holding call before LSU's final touchdown that overturned an interception was horrible.

[Titansfan777]

OSU is with the ball with only 1 minute left.

[Titansfan777]

...and now I can say I feel better with tate forcier than I would with Pryor...he was just throwing it in the air for grabs.

[ZachLV27]

...and now I can say I feel better with tate forcier than I would with Pryor...he was just throwing it in the air for grabs.

I'm not a big fan or Pryor's but he was facing a much tougher defense than Forcier did. Lets see how Forcier handles facing a really good defense.

[ZachLV27]

As for the game, it wasn't a high scoring battle but was still a lot of fun to watch (I love defensive battles). I think both teams are going to go on to having two really good seasons and both will still have a shot at being in the national title game. Of course OSU needs some other teams to fall but they have time to overcome this loss.

[Titansfan777]

I'm not a big fan or Pryor's but he was facing a much tougher defense than Forcier did. Lets see how Forcier handles facing a really good defense.

But even last year in games TP just didnt look right...IDK, but theres something about him that makes me think he isnt a very smart QB.

And no offense to you zach, but this picture must be posted...just bc I hate him so much and it brings a sick smile to my face:

Like I said I don't like Pryor. I think he is a great athlete but probably doesn't have the poise or mental toughness to make him a great QB. I just think that Forcier might be getting a bit too much hype too right now. He's looked good in his two college games so far and I'll give him full credit for that. I'm just going to wait until he faces an actual defense before giving him too much credit.

As for the picture, it's pretty much how I picture him usually. Brady made him look much smarter than he is. Someone find me a coach that has more brains.

I think the thing is just how tate seems to handle himself...IK he hasnt faced a real D (tho I think ND's will rank fairly high by seasons end), but he just seems to have that "it" factor, similar to what VY had in college...not that I'm comparing the two by any means, but just the way they always seemed so calm and composed...especially in the biggest games of their lives (TX v. USC and today's game) when many QB's wouldn't be able to escape with the victory.

As for Weis, I would let this season play out. But IF they fire him, I think they should have a good long hard look at Norm Chow. The guy really is an offensive genius/mastermind...at the college level. Combine him with good talent which Notre Dame can bring in on name alone, and you might have one hell of a team on offense. Keep Tenuta as D. coordinator, as he will be great I think. Afterall, this is the guy who has coached up Jim McMahon, Steve Young, Ty Detmer, Philip Rivers, Carson Palmer, and Matt Leinart.

...and join the damn Big11 conference already :D

D. Robinson is kind of just a change of pace QB who is instantly the fastest player in D1 the 2nd he steps on the field...The guy has CJ speed and you can look that up.

The next few games against Eastern Michigan and Indiana should determine his snaps per game. If he can show that he is a threat to throw, I think he will be used a touch more but idk...

Notre Dame returner touched the ball as it was bouncing on the kickoff which starts the clock. It continues running until the play ends, which in this case is when the ball goes out the back of the end zone.

I run the clock for a division 1-AA school and have to know rules like that.

They got it right, though I know it's not something you wanted to hear.

[Sect309Fan]

Utah is ranked too low. Why shouldn't they be in the top 5 after going undefeated longer than any other team?

LSU at #9? That is just respect for the name, not by the way they have played.


There really shouldn't be rankings this early. They are completely meaningless.

[MillaKilla8]

Im glad to see Cincinnati ranked so high, hopefully if the Beavers knock them off they will boost way up.

Couldn't agree with you more. The early rankings are truly meaningless, especially the ones before the first week.

The rankings are definitely BS, but not meaningless. It is crucial to the shell game that the BCS is running. It doesn't matter which team from a BCS conference is ranked, just as long as they are ranked. When the in-conference teams play each other, they pass the ranking back and forth. It's just a scam, the pre-rankings are über important. If a BCS team beats another ranked BCS team, than the the line is "they are obviously a really good team, because they beat such and such ranked blah blah blah". If a non-BCS team beats a ranked BCS team, the line is "well such and such had a trap game, and they better pull it together, because they still have some more tough BCS conference games to play. Oh and that other team played okay, they got lucky, their coach seems to have their program going in the right direction, it was a good showing with inferior talent, folks better watch out because in a few years that team may actually go some where".

[MillaKilla8]

Beavs gotta tough game this week , vs Cincinnati . Ill be there!

[Titansfan777]

Did I mention how much I hate Weis. The guy is just going psycho about losing to Michigan. Saying how a Michigan LB punched one of his o-lineman. The video is on YouTube. Anyway the ND player not only hits him after the play was over but drives him into the ground and pretty much lays on him. And the ND players were doing it all game to Michigan players and finally the mich player hit him back. When the mich player gets up he slaps the guys helmet. Maybe you can say it was a light punch. But either way I will say it was kind of cheap but Weis is acting like this changed the outcome of the entire game and is sending the tape of the play in and demanding the LB be suspended. Also, he continues to complain about the final ND drive with the kickoff and how time came off the clock. Apparently he doesn't know that if a player touches the ball the clock runs until the ball goes out of bounds. I really hate Weis. But I hope they keep him, just so he can lose again and again to Mich and make an even bigger ass of himself.

Looking forward to:

UConn vs Baylor at Baylor

That Baylor QB Griffin is fun to watch... Although I won't enjoy watching him this week.

This Louisville/KY game has been pretty good. KY just scored to make it 24-20 with 8:55 to go.

[nikki32]

UT vs. Texas Tech...at Austin and I can't even go even though we have season tickets...crap. I will say that while I don't know how precisely either team might perform this year that Tech has never beaten a Top Ten team on the road...but as my dad used to say, "there is always a first time for everything." I hope not. Go Texas.

[Titansfan777]

Michigan beats Eastern Michigan...Tate forcier left early in the game bc of a hard shot that knocked his breathe out. He could have returned but they decided to keep him out. They got 400 yards rushing tho so no worries and their backup QB Robinson had two monster TD runs if over 30 yards. Brandon Minor sat out most of the game too but his backup got 200 yards rushing and a 90 yards td run too. All in all it was a game played by backups but still was fun to see.

Michigan equalled it's win total from last year today, big 10 opener next week against Indiana!!!

[Sect309Fan]

I am really disappointed with Vandy's offense tonight. That had a first and goal on the 5 after a fumble, and they had to kick a field goal. It is one thing to struggle offensively on the road at LSU. But to play this poorly at home against Miss St. is inexcusable.

3-3 in the 2nd quarter. At least Vandy's defense has shown up.

[Sect309Fan]

I am falling asleep watching the game. 9-3 Mississippi State in the 4th. There is almost no offense in this game for either team. Turnovers have been big.

[TitansFan23]

Vandy recievers are sucking...

[Sect309Fan]

15-3 after a touchdown and failed 2-point conversion.

This was about the worst offensive performance I have seen a Vandy team have, and I have seen a lot of bad offensive performances. I really don't understand it.

I really don't know if Vandy will win an SEC game this year. You don't get much easier than Mississippi State at home. If they couldn't win this game, what game can they win?

This is why I don't buy Vandy season tickets. When they are favored at home, they almost always disappoint. :mad:

[TitansFan23]

I really don't know if Vandy will win an SEC game this year. You don't get much easier than Mississippi State at home. If they couldn't win this game, what game can they win?

Right about now, I'd say they have a good shot at Tennessee.

They have a solid defense, and if Crompton is behind center, they have that going for them.

He should throw 2-3 interceptions.

Nebraska lost to Virginia Tech yesterday and here's what I posted on the Wall of my Facebook page this morning:


Nebraska's one point loss to Virginia Tech yesterday will be difficult to forget for a long, long time. I was shocked, stunned and had a hard time sleeping. My world went from technicolor to black and white, from the Emerald City to Kansas. It may not be as bad as the one point loss to Miami in the 1984 Orange Bowl for the Nat'l Championship , but the feeling's the same.

[Comar]

When asked if the Vols were worried about a flu bug after Meyer's postgame revelation that several Florida players were sick, Kiffin said, "We'll wait and see, and after we're not excited about our performance we'll tell you that everybody was sick."

When SI came out with their college preview issue and had Ole Miss as some top 5 team, I couldn't believe it. Sure, Ole Miss was good last year, beating Florida, but they did lose to South Carolina and Vandy.

Well, they just lost to South Carolina again. Ole Miss is a good SEC team, but they aren't in LSU/Alabama territory in the West. Heck, Auburn might be better than them this season.

[Parddy]

UConn vs Rhode Island.... One of the last old New England rivals we still play.. Should be a cake walk this week.. Big East play starts next week I believe.

And then you play Florida and get exposed. Still the Tide is certainly one of the 5 best teams in the country, but the gap between Florida and Bama is wider than you think.

[TitansFan23]

I didn't see the game bc I'm at work but I heard it was something about an int. And the wr.

Indiana WR and Michigan CB both had possession of the ball when they hit the ground. It looked as if the WR had more of the ball than the CB, but the CB flipped over the top of the WR on the ground and wrestled the ball away well after they had both been down. I'll post a link below.

The rules say in that instance, possession remains with the offense, but the refs viewed it differently.

I hate to see a well fought game come down to that, but Indiana should have score more TD's when they were in the red-zone.

Michigan has allowed both Notre Dame and Indiana to hang 30+ on them; they better shore up that D if they expect to compete in the NC hunt.

yea I'll watch it when I get home but yea I know about that rule. Mustve been a weird play. But yea the D was supposed to be the weakest part. And it's not the run d as they've been decent except for a few looooooong runs this year. But yea it's the secondary. Donovan Warren(the guy who intercepted Indiana) is solid as they get, but cissoko has played with a nagging shoulder injury and he is getting picked on badly bc of it. It's like the injury caused him to lose his crazy speed and timing. And RR won't put in the much heathier jt turner who is a beast of a frosh.

It's up to the refs for interpretation, but it sucks that they end up having that much of an impact on what was a thrilling game.

The call could have gone either way I guess, but from what I saw, I believe Indiana should have retained the ball.

Michigan gave up 197 yards on the ground and 3 TD's; one was a long 85 yard TD.

I will point to one play in this game that was one of the deciding factors. Near the end, with Indiana holding the lead, they forced Michigan to punt. The returner ran up to field the ball and waved for a fair catch, he then proceeded to let it hit the ground and roll about 30-40 yards down the field. The result was Indiana going three and out and giving the ball back to Michigan with great field position; then the Wolverines drove down the field and scored the winning TD.

I was screaming at that guy the whole time. I have no favorites in this game mind you, but that play was critical. Sometimes players can do some pretty stupid things.

Anyway, Indiana played them very well in the Big House. I'm looking forward to the Penn State and OSU games.

I think RR has Michigan going in the right direction.

[Titansfan777]

Yea I'm not looking forward to those two games...at all. I think unless the secondary gets it's head on straight that those games will be brutal to watch. If the secondary is good by then, the games willbe close, as Michigan will have 2-3 starters back on the O-line by then which will help tremendously.

This is a lot like the Vandy-Rice game last year. I think they were tied at halftime, and then Vandy shut Rice out in the 2nd half.

I feel pretty good about a 30-10 lead halfway through the 4th quarter. I am glad the offense is clicking again.

And then you play Florida and get exposed. Still the Tide is certainly one of the 5 best teams in the country, but the gap between Florida and Bama is wider than you think.

Oh really? please explain how? The Alabama Offense is much much much improved from last year and the defense is much more stout. Florida just does not look as good as last year. I'm in no way afraid of Florida, they have not improved from last year and Alabama has. And those 2 teams were neck and neck goin into the 4th quarter of the SEC championship, so please explain how Florida is so much better than Bama.

[TitansFan23]

I think Bama beats UF this year.

I believe it'll be Alabama/Texas in the NC game.

You don't know how much it pains me to say that.

Someone tell the Jaguars to come to Lexington to scrape their saviour up.

Saint Tebow had no business in the game anyways, especially if he was as sick as the media was making him out to be. Florida had a huge lead and KY was having trouble moving the ball.

I hope he is ok. You dont want to see anyone get hurt like that.

This is the angle we couldn't see from the TV shot,
we only saw the back of the players..

http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/177542/Endzone_2.JPG
You can CLEARLY see that Warren still has possession..

http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/177546/Endzone_3.JPG
Can't really see here, but it sure looks like Warren
is holding his arms to his body like he has the ball..

http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/177550/Endzone_4.JPG
Well lookie here....Warren DEFINITELY has the ball..

http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/177554/Endzone_5.JPG
Yup

[TitansFan23]

OK, I'm convinced... :thumbsup

Now, who was the other shooter on the Grassy Noll? :lol

Looking at those pictures the first two show that both guys had the ball in their hands. The third picture doesn't show the ball but does show that the WR's knees are down. The fourth picture shows the Michigan player with the ball after the receiver is already down. Aren't NCAA rules the same as the NFL in that if both players have control of the ball when one goes down the possession stays with the offense?

Yes, it's still very unclear who really had possession to begin with. I really think the correct call should of been a tie and that would go to the receiver. However they ruled it a pick and there's really no good proof to turn it either way so keeping the call the way it is is the only way you can really go. It all just depends on that first judgment.

Well Louisville was blown out tonight at home against Pittsburgh. Louisville's AD needs to throw Steve Kragthorpe's ass onto the street.

[Titansfan777]

Yea WTF has happened to Louisville?! Ever since Petrino left for his internship with the falcons they have been sheiß!!!

[Titansfan777]

Well Michigan is playing arguably the worst game I have ever seen ever. Period. They look like ****...they were the best rushing and scoring team in the big ten on offense...but they only have 6 points and negative yards rushing. Fail.

[Titansfan777]

...and in 4 minutes Michigan ties the game up with 2 td passes by Tate forcier...it baby

LSU/Georgia


Who ya got?

[Titans and Turtles]

Terps down Clemson! Woot!

Virginia knocks off NC.

And Duke hangs tough with Va Tech.

This article: points out how the day of ACC cellar-dwellar (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/cory_mccartney/10/03/uva-unc/index.html) is keeping the ACC mired in mediocrity and parity.

It's true. I can't argue - I love the ACC, but in football, our top teams are not as good as the top teams of other conferences. We don't have elite programs, and almost never have an elite team in any given year.

Oh well, as a fan of one of the bottom-feeders for this year, I'm happy to squeeze Clemson for a W and drag them back into the mud.

OH MY GOD!

It's so painful watching Crompton.

[Sect309Fan]

OH MY GOD!

It's so painful watching Crompton.

The Vandy offense was worse. I went to my first college game of the season tonight and watched Vandy fail to compete a single pass in the first half. :banghead

Vandy sucked tonight in all aspects of the game, but the offense was the worst.

Interception sucked but they are still 4-1...I think that was their fluke terrible game and I was impressed with the comeback.

I don't think they are as good as their record has shown and will lose a couple more games but I wasn't bashing them or the rook. Just basically stating the obvious in that he will probably give you some really nice "wow moments" but he will also have his fair share of boneheaded plays.

The thing that was reassuring was that the team gets its starting guard and center back in the next few weeks...along with Minor, who is on of the best RB's in the nation but has been injured all season. Carlos Brown is fast, but Minor is both crazy strong and fast. Today the team just looked uninspired barring the last 5 minutes of regulation. I still think they can deff win 2 more big 10 games which I think will come at either Iowa, Purdue, Illinois, or Wiscy. Plus they have a game against Delaware state in 2 weeks...they could still be 8-4 and get into a nice bowl game, which is all I want. I really think they should only lose to OSU, PSU...the rest are all toss ups.

It's pitiful...:cry

[Rolltide14TOMB]

Well its a tough pill to swallow for the Big Orange but the glory years are over now. Its time to watch the Crimson Tide enter their glory years...Im still not convinced that Kiffin is a better coach than Phillip Fulmer...i believe UT has 1 loss if fat Phil is still patrolling the sidelines

[Sect309Fan]

.Im still not convinced that Kiffin is a better coach than Phillip Fulmer...i believe UT has 1 loss if fat Phil is still patrolling the sidelines

I don't think anyone is thinking Kiffin is a better coach than Fulmer. Fulmer had one of the greatest winning percentages in college football history.

Kiffin was hired to be a different coach, to spice up the program, which he has done. We really won't know how good a coach he will be for many years, assuming he lasts that long (you just never know).

[Titansfan777]

I'm starting to get the feeling that he will be the richrod of Tennessee, where people will question hid every move and anything he foes or says will be made into a headline. But in year 2 he can kinda pull it together

Recognize I am a double alumnus saying this: I can't understand why people continue to go watch the product.

Last year made a lot of the suffering over the years worthwhile.

But it was still incredibly disappointing to see so many penalties, missed field goals, incomplete passes, turnovers, and giving up too many long 3rd down conversions.

Vandy could run on Ole Miss. Vandy intercepted Snead 3 times. They even had a really good punt and return game. But without a passing game and without being able to make the big stop, it just isn't enough to compete in the SEC.

I am still really curious what will happen when Vandy and UT meet at the end of the season. I doubt there will be 200 combined passing yards. :ohmy

[MillaKilla8]

beavers won their first game in tempe since 1969 yesterday!

[Parddy]

Looking forward to:

UConn at Pittsburgh... Big East opener for the Huskies.

[Titansfan777]

Michigan vs. Iowa tonight. Iowa has called for a blackout at kinnick stadium. So in turn, Michigan is rocking an all white uniform instead of the yellow pant for the first time is over 35 years...and just my luck, I work until 11 PM eastern time so I'll miss all of the first 3 quarters

[TTP77]

Where did this Vols offense come from? Dare I say that JC has actually looked pretty good in the first half...:lol

[Sect309Fan]

Vandy's 13-16 OT loss to Army today was so disheartening. First, I really wish college and the pros would adopt the new UFL rule. In the UFL, if an offensive player fumbles the ball through the end zone, the ball is played just like any other fumble out of bounds, giving the ball back to the offensive team. Of course in college and the pros, they give the ball to the defense, even though they really don't deserve it. Vandy lost in OT because the running back fumbled on the two yard line, and the ball rolled in an out of the end zone.

Second, Vandy has to figure out how to score in the red zone. Down 10-13 with about a minute and a half to go, Vandy had the ball first and goal on the 6. After an offensive pass interference penalty and a false start, Vandy was lucky to send it to OT on a 41-yard field goal that bounced off the upright. Vandy also blew a first and goal in the 3rd quarter, settling for a field goal.

Vandy likely won't win another game. This was the best chance at win #3, and I don't see anyone else on their schedule they can compete with. I hate to see Vandy fall so far from their wonderful season of last year.

Alright, who kidnapped JC and put on his uni today?

Peyton... :lol

[Titansfan777]

Michigan lost a game they shoulda won...honestly, 5 turnovers. If they woulda capitalized on only 1 of those drives instead of getting a TO they woulda won. It was the college version of the Titans-Steelers game. Whatever, they play delaware state next week. Should be a good stat-padding game.

[PBV]

This Ga Tech FLA ST game is crazy!

[Parddy]

Pittsburgh 24 UConn 21.... UConn needsto learn to seal the deal. Led 21-6 and couldn't hold the lead... :-(

Wow, Tennessee smacked Georgia.. The SEC is really a great conference. On any given day.

[Sect309Fan]

I am not sure which game shocked me more. This one or Arkansas's beat down of undefeated Auburn. :ohmy

A rematch of the SEC title game last year still seems inevitable.

[MillaKilla8]

Oregon State riding a two game win streak! Took it to Stanford yesterday!
Quizz had 189 rushing, 82 receiving, and 4 TDs.

We got a bye next week than a big Saturday night game @ USC!
Go Beavs

After watching last night's game with Tebow below 100% due to his recent concussion and the fact that LSU still couldn't beat the Gators in Baton Rouge, I believe the outcome of last year's SEC title game will also be inevitable.

Urban gets #3.

Ha! Florida is not nearly as good as they were last year. Alabama is way better than they were with John Parker Wilson. Alabama can definitely beat Florida and in my opinion, they should. Don't just hand it to Florida yet.

Maybe not, but they have intangibles.

#1, that team has heart, and you can't underestimate that.

#2, they have experience winning big games.

#3, they have Tebow.

I think Bama will put up a fight, but in the end, I see another Gator BCS title coming.

Plus, Tennessee is going to beat Alabama like a drum, so... :p

Yawn....
