One of those what could have been weekends if Cal and the U did not get annihilated the previous weekend. Flashback to the 80s with OK visiting the U but unfortunately the Orange Bowl is gone.
Saturday, between the hedges
Georgia 20, LSU 17
LOL, you can’t even find a picture for the Hurricanes without having to use a pic with the Dolphins.
I thoroughly expect the crowd at ‘The Shark’ to be 60-40 in favor of OU.
Unfortunately UNM is in for an ole’ fashoned mud hole stoping by the Red Raiders on Saturday. In the 35 yrs I have been following Lobo football this has to be the worst team they have ever put on the field. In the beggining I was willing to chalk it up to the Lobos radicaly changing both the offensive and defensive philosophies, but after the “Sucker Punch at the Strp Club incident” I am begging to think that Mike Locksley was the wrong guy for the job.
It is very sad to see the progress that UNM football has made over the last 12 years get flushed down the toilet.
I wonder when the Boise State-UC Davis game was scheduled. You are Boise State trying to say you belong with the big boys. You are stuck in the WAC so your strength of schedule is weak and you are going to play a I-AA team, refuse to use the three letter acronymn. At least find a I-A team to play.
It was either that or I went with a pic of the old Orange Bowl. I think I spent about 15 minutes going through every single pic I could find and just gave up.
I still remember how Miami renegged on their promise to Howard Schnellenberger to build an on-campus stadium after their first title.
Ok. State gets a bye week. Hopefully after thumping Grambling State and having essentially 2 weeks to get everyone healed up they will remember that they are supposed to be a high powered offense. As opposed to whatever the hell it is they have been so far this season.
Good thing Houston won again. Do as much as possible to make OSU look better.
Go Hawkeyes!
I think there was a point (probably after ‘06) where Boise State was caught between a rock and a hard place when it came to scheduling. A lot of FBS schools either couldn’t make their own schedule work to play in Boise or wouldn’t because of BSU’s track record at home over the past several seasons. So at that point, you’re pretty much down to finding FCS schools, hence UC-Davis.
Please don’t make any predictions in favor of my Red Raiders... I think we are jinxed this season.
I don’t know...my Red Raiders are just not coming through this year. You guys may have a good chance.
Virginia Tech is the darling of the gun-grabber set. Hope they never win another game.
We lost to New Mexico State last week! New Mexico freekin State! The Lobos would have a hard time with a good High School team right now.
Me and my tailgate buddies road tripped down to Maryland last weekend to see the Knights collect a "W" against the Terps.
RU's not looking great this year, but the opening day blowout loss to Cincinnati is not looking so bad anymore. They're the real deal, it appears.
Hoping to play our way into a middle-of-the-road bowl this year. Our true freshman QB is going to develop into a bona fide player in a year or two. Better bowls (BCS) ahead.
From beautiful Spanish Springs Nevada, home of the near-legendary B bar V Ranchette....TEXAS FIGHT!!!!
Who are you going to fight? You don’t have a game this week..... ;^)
