NCAA College Football

I know it may seem a little early to start this thread, but the start of season is a little over a month and a half away. So, Who is your team? Why is your team destined to contend for a National Championship? Are the reigning Champs going to repeat? Who is going to contend for the Heisman Trophy? Do you think the BCS is BS? Why or why not? Feel free to discuss.

[coclarkson]

The Ohio State Buckeyes! although they lost most of thier starters on offense and defense. but when they constantly bring in the type of top recruits as they do they just reload. Justin Zwick will take over as qb. he has a cannon and one of the best wr in santonio holmes. lydell ross is a heisman contender. he'll run for 1500 yards this season. mo hall is the backup rb, one of the most versatile runners in the ncaa. on the defensive side, a.j. hawk at lb reminds me alot of katzenmoyer. the concen is the defensive front. losing will smith, tim anderson, and darion scott really hurt, but as i said, they reload.Gonja, don't give me that shit about how we cant beat Michigan. Cooper is old news. what's tressels record against UM? expect another whoopin this year.

heisman contenders: timmy chang qb hawaii. he'll break the ncaa record for most passing yards, tds. guarenteed to throw for 4,000 yards 40 tds

lydell ross. rb osu with a young qb, he'll be the focal point of the offense, 1500+ yaards 15+ tds

matt leinart qb usc just because he'll put up good numbers on a national championship contending team

derron sproles rb ksu last years leading rusher

jason white qb oklahoma last years heisman winner, same reason at leinart

[RyanA]

While I agree with you Ohio State will be very very good this year, Michigan is not the team they have to worry about in the Big Ten. That team would be Minnesota. They have the best OL in the country, two stud rb's in Barber and Maroney, who both would be Heisman candidates if they didnt share carries. We have the same question mark at QB as The Ohio State, but as proven by the Nebraska teams of the 90's, running the ball behind a great O line can get you where you want to be. At least we get to play Ohio State this year. I dont think either of these teams will win the national championship. I'm going with USC if Mike Williams plays with Leinart as the Heisman (The other receiver, Steve Smith will be a top 10 pick eventually), wide open for the chamionship if he doesnt, with Sproles as the Heisman.

[coclarkson]

At least we get to play Ohio State this year.

unfortunately you don't. October 9th will be the big game for minnesota vs. michigan. i couldn't believe that minnesota gave up 31 4th quarter points last season to them. the sept 4th opener vs toledo will be a good game. toledo has one of the better qbs in the nation in bruce gradkowski.my title game is USC vs OSU of course ohio st. wins

[Gonjawolverine]

Allright, I gave you guys a running head start. I am glad to see the Big Ten is well represented. Does no ones else have any faith in they teams?
Michigan is all about tradition. Tradition of excellence. Tradition of winning. This season the traditions will continue.
OSU and Minnesota are a lot alike. Both like to play the old option style offense and both have mediocre defenses. Yes Minnesota does have a couple of young studs at RB, but a lot of theire sucess came from having Al Queda at QB. As for the buckeyes, Lydell Ross is ok, coclarkson you give him way to much credit. It's too bad Clarett is a complete moron, you guys would put up more of a fight if you still had him. OSU and Minnesota are ok, the real competion is Iowa. That is the game that I am looking forward to the most. Those basterds have been taking it to us for the last two seasons. It is payback time. While your teams are hiding behind your fat guys, and handing the ball off all the time.
Michigan will hit you with the most balenced offense in college football. While you may have QB problems, We are producing NFL caliber QBs all the time. This year is no different. We have a little bit of a QB contrversy right now, It's between Matt Gutierrez and Clayton Richard. Both are 6-4, 230, both are powerful and have outstanding accuracy. Matt is a little more mobile and he is a righty,and Clayton has a rocket launcer attached to his left shoulder. Either way we win. We have had a great Chris Perry at RB for the last 3 years, so this year one of our other studs gets to shine. I am pulling for Jerome Jackson, he is from my hometown of Saginaw, Michigan. RyanA you should know this kid, his older brother has been a gopher for the past few years, but I think he transfered beacuse of lack of PT. Anyway, Jackson is very fast and has some good moves, I just hope Lloyd gives him a chance. And you all know about the best Reciever Corp in the Nation, Braylon Edwards, Jason Avant and Steve Breston. These guys will rip your hearts out and come back for more. No school in our Conferance has as good a Secondary unit as the Wolverines. The reason they are so good is they go against the best every scrimage. I could rant and rave all day long about how good we are, but that is why they play the game. To show you how good they are.
Gonja, don't give me that shit about how we cant beat Michigan.
C'mon, you know I'm gonna give you shit. We are rivals. U of M vs. OSU W-L-T = 57-37-6 Your team just has to beat us 20 times in a row to tie it up.
expect another whoopin this year.
I do, something like last season.
Michigan is not the team they have to worry about in the Big Ten. That team would be Minnesota.
We never worry about Minnesota, not this year, last year, any year. Minnesota has not beat Michigan since 1983 or something ridiculous like that, last season was their best chance and your terrible defense squandered your inpending victory. The W ain't coming this year, Sorry.

[coclarkson]

that jackson from minn transferred to southern illinois u. who is a 1-AA power.

i have no doubt that the big ten title will be decided on Nov 20 at the shoe. we had our chances to make a comeback last year. unlike cooper, tressel knows how to beat michigan. all that matters is that he is 2-1 against um. i'll give you guys credit Gonja, the recieving corps is impressive especially Edwards. Safety Ernie Shazor is a stud as well. however i wasn't impressed last seaon with running back dave underwood. i think they'll struggle running the ball. michigan has some tough road games at Notre Dame, at Purdue, and of course at the horseshoe. I think Purdue will be very tough with Orton at qb. they have Michigan, OSU, and Wisconsin at home. Michigan is producing NFL caliber qb's? Krenzel was drafted before Navarre was, which i don't know how or why that happened, but 14 bucks were drafted this year, the most ever.

[Gonjawolverine]

i wasn't impressed last seaon with running back dave underwood. i think they'll struggle running the ball
Underwood was primarily Perry's backup last season. He is a big kid, but not to flashy. That is why I would like to see Jackson get a lot of snaps. He is a gamebreaker, The kid has some serious wheels. He was a track star at Saginaw High just like Detroit Lions WR Charles Rogers.
Michigan is producing NFL caliber qb's? Krenzel was drafted before Navarre was
The "?" in you sentence was nice. Like you don't know about the Legend.
2-Time Superbowl Champion------------Tom Brady---------------2-Time Superbowl MVP
Besides Craig Krenzel,How many QBs in the NFL are from Ohio State? Navarre sucked the balls, and he still got drafted, amazing. If you play QB for the University of Michigan, you can handle the NFL. In fact, I would like to know the stat. What College has the most QBs in the NFL? Michigan has at least 4. Does any college have that many? Marshall has 2. Florida probably has a couple, right?

[coclarkson]

no ohio state isn't a nfl qb producing school. bobby hoying was supposed to be the future of the eagles but failed miserabely. we produce wr's such as joey galloway, terry glenn, david boston, michael jenkins, ken-yan rambo, and nfl legend cris carter. defensive backs such as nate clements, mike doss, ahmed plummer, chris gamble, antione winfield. can't forget nfl hall of famers to be eddie george and orlando pace. korey stringer was great. what can i say about big daddy wilkenson. he was a bust but he still went #1 overall. has a michigan player ever went #1? just think, if bledsoe never got hurt, would we ever know about tom brady? the same can be said about brett favre, and steve young both began thier legacy when a starter got hurt.

[Gonjawolverine]

what can i say about big daddy wilkenson. he was a bust but he still went #1 overal
He may be a "bust" as far as #1 picks, But he does a good job of clogging that lane with the "Big Baby" Shaun Rogers on the Detroit Lions Defensive Line. I am not real sure if you can call him a bust.
Ryan leaf = Bust
Eric Crouch = Bust
Big Daddy = Still playing and producing

[coclarkson]

i didn't even know that big daddy still played.

11-20-04...IT'S ON!

[Gonjawolverine]

Today the BCS changed it's formula. Now the humans have more say in the rankings than the computers. The AP poll, the USA Today/ESPN poll and the BCS computer all have 1/3 share of the BSC poll. They also took out quality of win and strength of schedule. Will that change things? Who knows but it sounds better than before.

[coclarkson]

http://img4.exs.cx/img4/1639/a167.jpg

[coclarkson]

I think the rule changes help the mid-major conferences like conf. USA, Big West, MAC. They should've kept the strength of schedule rankings. Now if Bowling Green goes unbeaten and wins the MAC, they will be a possible BCS team, which they shouldn't because the MAC is weak compared to the major conferences. Last season, the strength of schedule hurt Miami (Oh), they went 12-1 including being the MAC champions but only went to a shitty bowl game. but if the new rule changes applied last year, MiamI wouldv'e played in a New Years Day game. Am I making sense?

[coclarkson]

http://img2.exs.cx/img2/1497/a199.jpg

[IHateHonda]

Im damn excited to see wut The Uconn Huskies program will do this year, they were very impressive in thier first 1-A seaon last year, Just missing a Bowl Game apperance. This season will be thier first chance at a BCS game ,now they will have a better chance at making a bowl.

[hcliff69]

. In fact, I would like to know the stat. What College has the most QBs in the NFL? Michigan has at least 4. Does any college have that many? Marshall has 2. Florida probably has a couple, right?

[KABOOM]

Kansas State WILDCATS all the way!!!!

[AUFan]

War fuckin' Eagle!!!

Sadly, one the best (and smallest) LBs the SEC has been blessed with in quite some-time, Carlos Dansby, has moved on. Little bastard was only 211lbs, but played like he weighed 240. Im not so sure about this Williams kid that supposed to replace him. From what ive seen he hits like a damn hammer, but I question his ability to read and adapt.

The McNabb wanna-be weve got at QB is decent, but he still cant throw for shit. I swear if he doesnt start throwing the goddamn ball ill scream and pitch a fit like a little girl. Although, it is fun seeing him steamrolling safetys.

Speaking of steamrolling, Tubberville needs to open his fucking eyes and pay Ronnie Brown a little more. Hes like Mike Alstott with speed. Much as I love to see Carnell "Cadilliac" Williams break some ankles, he really doesnt have the toughness for 30+ touches a game facing SEC defenses.

Anyway, I dont expect Auburn to win the SEC. I firmly believe theyve got the talent to beat the living shit out of every other team down this way, except LSU. Much respect to the other Tigers.

By the way, Georgia fans can kiss my white ass. You bastards annoy me more than Alabama fans ever will.

[IHateHonda]

Marcus Vick of Virginia Tech was suspended for the 04 season because of those charges and convictions he has..

So much for following in Mike Vicks footsteps

[Gonjawolverine]

Well the first poll of the upcoming season was released recently, and Michigan got some decent props from the Coaches poll and is currently ranked #7. They are also the preseason pick to win the Big 10. Take that suckeyes(coclarkson).
LINK---->Coaches Poll (http://www.mgoblue.com/document_display.cfm?document_id=15287)

[coclarkson]

pre season polls don't mean shit. i don't think teams should be ranked until the 3rd or 4th game. how many times does the pre season #1 team win the championship? not to often. I remember a couple of years ago, the sporting news had Auburn as #1 and then auburn lost 3 or 4 games that year. When Ohio St. won the title, they started out the year ranked #16th. Gonja: UM will lose sept 11 at Notre Dame. I guarentee it!!

[Gonjawolverine]

The road to the National Championship starts tommorow for Michigan (http://www.mgoblue.com/section_display.cfm?section_id=185&top=2&level=2).
I know where coclarkson stands, but does anyone else want to share they thoughts on the already kicked-off season? I was not real impressed with USC vs. Va Tech last week. The Media is hopping on OU's bandwagon already. So what's up?
Go Blue!

[coclarkson]

great game vs. TCU and Northwestern last night. double ot with TCU winninng by a field goal. Gonja, UM is lucky that Big Ben is playing in Pittsburgh now, but i'm sticking to my upset special of ND over UM.

WOOT Go Buckeyes!
http://img73.exs.cx/img73/7314/c01um.jpg

#1 Baby. Michigan is going down!

[Gonjawolverine]

Michigan rolled today as expected, 43-10. Chad Henne made the start , and that surprised the hell out of me. I thought for sure Clayton Richards would get the start if Gutierrez could not go. Lloyd usally goes with the upperclassmen but he threw the faithful a curveball. Chad did ok, nothing to spectacular. Braylon had a couple T.D.'s, just another day at the office. Defense held together pretty well they had about 4 or 5 ints and a forced fumble or 2. Special teams sucked, they made that #2 Robinson look like Dante Hall or something. But in the 3rd quarter they took his ass out, thats what you get for fucking with Big Blue.
Notre Dame is next on the hit list.
***Update***coclarkson, you are telling me that a weak Notre dame team that can't even muster a first down in crunch time vs. a "powerhouse" like BYU is going to beat Michigan? I'll take that bet.

[RiSK]

ALL PRETTY GOOD TEAMS BUT THE BEST!!!

THE MUTHA FUCKING MIAMI HURRICANES!!!

FUCKING OWNAGE!

[Gonjawolverine]

ALL PRETTY GOOD TEAMS BUT THE BEST!!!

THE MUTHA FUCKING MIAMI HURRICANES!!!

Miami is just ok. It's too bad Miami's schedule is so weak, I would really like to see them play a team that is actually ranked besides FSU. But hey, Join a pussy conferance, play pussy teams, Right? Just look at the Big XII.

[RiSK]

doesnt really matter we beat the best in the finals anyway.. plus this year we play good teams

Yes, clarkson, Berlin sucks the balls. Chris Rix is closer to being a decent QB than Berlin is. So I must agree with you clarkson, FSU will take this one 24-13. FSU is just more hungry for that W. Bobby Bowden is going to unleash that D on Berlin and fuck his weekend up. The U is done. Maybe next year.

[RiSK]

LMFAO u all look fucking stupid.. cant compare brock berlin and rix! RIX is the biggest fucking IDIOT in the NCAA... and yes brock berlin does suck one.. but he sure shut rix up nasty and all of the FSU fans TONIGHT!!!

MICHIGAN = GARBAGE

WHO EVER IT IS THAT WAS WORSHIPING DAT SHYT ASS TEAM GOT PWNED!

[Gonjawolverine]

UM will lose sept 11 at Notre Dame. I guarentee it!!

i got one right !!!:D sorry Gonja
Much props to you my scarlett and grey loving friend. My dad also told me that we are in trouble in that game. I said naw, It's Notre Dame, they suck. But I got bit on the ass again.

I don't understand how Notre Dame can pull shit like this every time we play those fucks in Southbend. Must be the luck of the Irish or something. With Underwood hurt, the gameplan should've been simple, you have three of the best wide-outs in the nation why not use them? Nope, it's 3rd and eight so lets throw a five yard hook patern. When the game was already at hand for Notre Dame, Lloyd finally took the reigns off of Henne and let him throw the ball around and wow, he drove the ball downfield in about 1:30 seconds and threw a 25 yard TD to Steve Breston. Michigan was not ready for that freshman RB that ND had. He made them look slow and unprepared. I am very upset and deeply humbled right now. This season has taken a major blow, but we are still in the hunt. Make no mistake, we are still in the hunt.
MICHIGAN = GARBAGE

WHO EVER IT IS THAT WAS WORSHIPING DAT SHYT ASS TEAM GOT PWNED!
MICHIGAN = GARBAGE, very intelligent bro, Just because the U has played their only ranked opponent they will face all season in their first game and got lucky and won. :? Yeah they are so good. Michigan still has 4 ranked opponents to go, Not counting Notre Dame. I can't respect a team who may go 11-0 or 12-0 and play absolutly nobody all year. If miami was in the Big 10 they would be lucky to come out .500. So long as Berlin is your QB your team is going nowhere, sorry to break it to you. To say that the real U of M is a SHYT ASS TEAM just shows, you know nothing about Football. Michigan has more wins than Miami has games played. Tradition buddy, either you have it or you don't.

[Texan]

Keep an eye on the Longhorns...National Champs if they get by OU

[senddown]

In defense to UM. The NFL takes more of our players every year than any other team and we still end up competing year after year. Its not our fault that the ACC sucks...but atleast its a better challenge than the Big East! And yes, Berlin does suck but its all we have right now. Right is going to tear shit up for us next year.

GO CANES!!!!!

[coclarkson]

In defense to UM. The NFL takes more of our players every year than any other team and we still end up competing year after year.

that's not an acceptable excuse for the loss. Michigan just got out hustled and out played by a team that will be lucky to win 4 games. i can name a lot of schools who lose players to the nfl, ohio state lost 14 to the nfl last year, miami loses 5 stud underclassmen every year but both compete every year. it's not about talent, it's about heart, and judging by last saturday,UM doesn't have any and they better get some by this weekend. San Diego St. has a tough defense and a great running back in sophomore Lynell Hamilton.

[senddown]

who cares about Michigan?? I'm defending University of Miami. LOL...

[coclarkson]

you know i realized that right after i posted. :oops: but as a buckeye fan, i couldn't resist the urge to bash michigan. :D

[Gonjawolverine]

For the first time in 3 years, Michigan has finally defeated Iowa. It is one thing to lose to a division rival. It is something completely different when you lose to a division rival for multiple years in a row. For the past few seasons Iowa has been that thorn in the side of the faithful, and now that chapter of Iowa ruining the season has come to an end. This game was more important than the upcoming November 20th meeting in Columbus. In this game I was sure that those damn Hawkeyes would give us trouble, because they always do. In Big Ten Football it is very important to run the ball and stop the run. Today Freshman RB Mike Hart had 94 yards on 26 attempts and a TD, not bad. Iowa had a team total of 4 yards on 26 attempts, pathetic. Michigan Forced 5 turnovers, 3 fumbles 2 picks. Braylon only had 150 yards on 6 receptions and a TD, only an average day. Next week Big Blue takes a trip to Bloomington to beat down another sucker in Indiana, stick with the basketball Hoosiers.
******************UPDATE***********************
Well another week of college football another beatdown delivered by the University of Michigan. This weeks loser is the IU Hoosiers, they never had a chance. The Freshman duo had some nice numbers, QB Chad Henne completed 17-of-21 passes for a career-high 316 yards and 3 touchdowns and RB Mike Hart rushed 20 times for 79 yards and scored himself a touchdown too, not bad. And some guy named Braylon Edwards made eight receptions for a career-high 165 yards, including the 2 touchdowns, not a bad day at the office. Next weeks sucker is the Minnesota Golden Gophers. In the Big House we satisfy all customers.
like a real powerhouse should. Unlike some other schools who shall remain nameless. Notre Dame was a bad loss, but Northwestern? NW 33 OSU 27, take that coclarkson

[coclarkson]

yeah OSU got their asses handed to them saturday, but this team is built for 2005. Sophomore QB Justin Zwick turns the ball over way to much, but he's learning. Wisconsin is up next but it's at the shoe so no worries. Wisconsin's offense may be worse than OSU's. Defensive battle. On the other hand Michigan will get hammered by Minnesota, I guarentee it! and on Oct 23rd, they visit Mr.Orton and co. which spells a 3rd loss for the wolverines. Right now, Purdue is the most dangerous team in the NCAA led by the Heisman front runner, Kyle Orton.

http://img21.exs.cx/img21/3895/a214.jpg
95-of-137 passing (69.3 percent), 1,367 yards, 17 TDs, 0 INTs, 2 rushing TDs (4-0)

I am sorry bro, but I am going to have to disagree with you on those assertions. We own Minnesota, sure they have a good running game and play mediocre D, they are no better than they were last season. Purdue had Orton for the past 3 seasons and how many wins does he have against Michigan? Yeah that's what I thought, after Michigan rolls up Orton, all this Heisman talk will go away.
P.S. Northwestern? They're Northwestern, C'mon. Thats like losing to Indiana or something. God OSU sucks.
this team is built for 2005
I love good excuses. Love them. Is that gonna be the story on November 20th? Maybe you will get us in 2005, right? Not likely, I'm afraid.

[hcliff69]

lets see if osu can get past wisconsin first next week. The offense is coming around and with the defense wisconsin is playing they dont need to score much to win.

If Northwestern can beat the suckeyes, than Wisconsin should fucking crush those pansy-ass bitches. Anthony Davis will show that suckass lydell ross what being a real Big Ten running back is all about. Maybe the suckeyes will get you in 2005 hcliff, right coclarkson? GOD, NORTHWESTERN?!? Man, that shit never gets old. GO BADGERS!!!!!!!!

P.S. Michigan is the #1 Rush Defense in the land, and we also lead the nation in Takeaways, HOLLA!

[coclarkson]

Gonja, like you have room to talk. Who the hell beat UM? a piece of shit ND team. At least OSU isn't afraid to schedule a tough non conference opponent such as NC State, who they totally dominated. just wait until this weekend when UM finally plays a decent team. they're gonna get smoked. and wisconsin? is Davis even playing this week? Badgers won't score more than 10 points. OSU wins 27-9. wisconsin's offense struggled against teams like Central Florida, UNLV, and Arizona. They havn't faced a team like OSU yet this year. they need a new coach. Danny DeVito isn't getting it done.

[hcliff69]

Davis will be playing he played last week and gained 215 yds on 27 carries i believe although playing Illinois isnt quite the same as OSU. iI would have to agree with ya on Alvarez thou he does a great job of recruiting but his game day skills leave something to be desired. As long as we're throwing out predictions WI 17 - OSU 14.

Minn 24- Mich 17 sorry gonja but i think minn is too tough for Michigan

[Gonjawolverine]

Indeed coclarkson, NORHTWESTERN has such a rich football history don't they? Notre Dame has one of the best winning percentages of All-Time and is a long time rival, we play them good or bad. The only All-Time great team I see on your schedule every year is MICHIGAN. You can rip ND all you want, that will not stop Wisconsin from bringing the pain Saturday.
If NC State is so good, and you totally schooled them, then how good is NORTHWESTERN?
Look out on the 23rd, Indiana is coming to town! HAHAHAHA, GOD, OSU SUCKS!

Minn 24- Mich 17 sorry gonja but i think minn is too tough for Michigan
Come on man, I am all about Wisconsin whipping osu's ass, please don't hate.

[coclarkson]

don't wanna hear any shit Gonja. I know!! just wait untill November 20th.

Wisconsin vs Purdue next saturday.

[Gonjawolverine]

Well once again, Michigan comes out on top of the gophers and retains one of college footballs oldest trophys, The Little Brown Jug. While you may see a close 27-24 victory for Michigan, in reality our young freshman QB Chad Henne threw 2 ints and our punt returner Leon Hall had a fumble all in the second half. So without all those damn turnovers, the game would not have been so close. Michael Hart has done us proud today with 160 yards rushing on 35 carries, and opened up the scoring with the first touchdown. Chad may have had 2 picks, but he also went 33 for 49 for 328 with 2 touchdowns, not bad. The Best Wide Reciever in the nation Braylon Edwards had another workman like day, 10 catches for 98 yards and 2 rushes for 23 yards, so 121 all-pupose yards and a touchdown, not bad. Next week we take our show on the road to a sleepy little college town called Champaign, where we will show our hosts no mercy.
don't wanna hear any shit Gonja.
Congrats on a big win hcliff, and good call on Minnesotas score. You know coclarkson I could go on and on about how terrible osu is, but I won't, I know you are hurting deep inside. I just want to spit out a couple of facts, Anthony Davis had 160 yards on 39 carries, while everybody that rushed the ball for osu(which was 4 players) had 102 yards on 25 carries. Ohio State is a school that runs the ball, why the hell was Zwick in the shotgun the whole game? He can't pass. OSU is not Nortwestern, play the entire game from the shotgun, that is Northwestern-ass shit. Not only does that shit just confuse me, come November 20th that will not cut it.

Miami is just ok. It's too bad Miami's schedule is so weak, I would really like to see them play a team that is actually ranked besides FSU. But hey, Join a pussy conferance, play pussy teams, Right? Just look at the Big XII.

i beg your pardon! :wink: pussy conference my ass... need i remind you that we have 5 top 25 teams (of course NCstate & Mary. lost today). UVA (wahoos baby!) is definiately a contender - granted we have not played our toughtest part of the schedule yet - but did you not see Pearman play on thursday? he looked fuckin' awesome

[hcliff69]

thanks gonja nice win for mich as well. Too bad mich and wis dont play this year. oh well easy week for ya next week while another big one for wiscy orton will be a good test for badger defense.

[coclarkson]

UVA (wahoos baby!) is definiately a contender - granted we have not played our toughtest part of the schedule yet - but did you not see Pearman play on thursday? he looked fuckin' awesome

huge game saturday between UVA and FSU. i'll take FSU. looking at UVA's schedule, it looks like they're going to lose 4 out of their next 6 games, with losses to FSU, Maryland, Miami, and VA tech. OUCH! tough schedule.

i don't know.... granted we haven't beaten FSU since, like, '96. but i think this could be our year (we're actually ranked above them for once :D ). and as for Maryland & Tech - puh-leeze. I do worry about Miami, though. but hopefully UVA doesn't choke like they do EVERY year they look good.

I ment no disrespect to UVA, I just really dislike the U of Miami. Speaking of the U, did anyone catch that Thursday night game against Louisville? Man, how many times can the defense and special teams bail out Brock Berlin? That guy just plain sucks. It was a good game though, dominated by the Cardinals until the 4th quarter, Fucking Miami. Can anyone say overrated?

[Cassidy]

none taken :wink: - although after last night's game against FSU.......... :cry: :cry:
did UVA even show up??? b/c i certainly don't know who was playing in Tallahassee!

[Gonjawolverine]

Well the kid does not cease to impress. Michael Hart went buck wild on those poor fighting Illlini basterds. The kid ran the ball 40 times for 237 yards, breaking the Michigan freshman records two weeks in a row. While the other freshman wonder Chad Henne did not have a career day like Hart, he was pretty much grounded by the 30 mph winds, and Illinois complete lack of ability to stop the run. Henne had two picks, but he also threw a touchdown and ran for touchdown, the kid is still a freshman. Defense really stepped up in the second half, we were actually down 17-10 at halftime. So what does the defense do? They come out and shut those fuckers down, final score 30-19 (We gave them a safety) next week we play those Boilermakers from Purdue University, we will show no mercy.

Hcliff, congrats on a big W on saturday. Note-to-self "Orton likes to fumble under pressure", honestly, I was kind of hoping you guys would lose. Us Wolverines don't like to share titles with other teams. It really sucks that Wisconsin is not on the schedule this season, I think we match-up pretty good, but I also think we would punish you.

Coclarkson, what can I say man? Better luck next year.

[coclarkson]

it was actually kinda nice to see my alma mater beat the buckeyes. that's the one and only game that i root against the bucks. hopefully they can get their shit together vs. Indiana. Michigan plays a pissed off purdue team, Orton will go nuts and the boilermakers win by 20+. Wisconsin kinda reminds me of the 2002 buckeyes team. i think Minnesota will beat them on the 6th of Nov.

[Gonjawolverine]

Michigan plays a pissed off purdue team, Orton will go nuts and the boilermakers win by 20+
Purdue will play a pissed off Michigan team, because those weak boilermakers could not finish the job against Wisc. Yes, Orton will be going nuts after all the picks he will throw and all grass he will be eating. We at Michigan love one demensional teams, we have the best secondary in the nation, so pass away my friend. Michigan will win by more than 3, fer sure dude.
i think Minnesota will beat them on the 6th of Nov.I hope so, but with the vicious beat down MSU gave them I don't know if they will recover.
it was actually kinda nice to see my alma mater beat the buckeyes. that's the one and only game that i root against the bucks. hopefully they can get their shit together vs. Indiana.
You're a Hawkeye? What's with all the buck love? You must be from ohio. Like I told you look out for IU, they put some pressure on us, so that means they will probably beat you by 14. Shit, coclarkson, the way the bucks are playing you guys will end up with 6 or 7 loses this year.
Do you know the last time Michigan had 7 losses was 1962? How about 6? It was 1984. I know osu lost 6 games in 1998, and they are sure gonna try to do it again in 2004.

[coclarkson]

You must be from ohio. .

yep, grew up in Ohio. looks like the buckeyes have found a new QB (Troy Smith) and RB (Antonio Pittman) to lead them the rest of the way. their offense looked pretty good for a change. UM got flat out lucky. the guy who fumbled for purdue should be kicked off the team! If UM wins out, they have a legit shot at playing for the title. but that's not gonna happen, OSU's revamped O will handle them easily. florida has just fired coach Ron Zook and his staff that will take effect at the end of the season.

[Gatorman]

... florida has just fired coach Ron Zook and his staff that will take effect at the end of the season.

Think Spurrier will resume the helm?? They think that he's God in Gainesville. The Alumni will probably figuring out a way to match his $5 m salary! :wink:

[Gonjawolverine]

Once again, Michigan prevails over an overrated opponent. It is really too bad we don't get to crack that defense that claims to be the best in the nation, in Madison,WI. Michigan was led by the Fab 2, Henne and Hart. Henne out played the "'Heisman Canidate" Kyle Orton simply by handing the ball to the other freshman sensation Michael Hart, who had 206 yards rushing on 33 carries. This kid is going to be great, he is the first freshman tailback in Michigan history to rush for 200+ in consecutive games. The kid is breaking records left and right. That Wolverine defense is an impressive unit, to completely shut down one of the best offenses in the nation, to hold the Big Tens' all-time leading reciever Taylor Stubblefield to a catch and all of 10 yards, to hold "Heisman Canidate" Kyle Orton to less than 50% passing, sacking him 3 times, and even picking him off once. I know you saw that hit by Ernest Shazor on Jones in mid-air, very vicious. That guy got knocked the fuck out. The next loser is a cross state rival called the Michigan State Spartans.
Welcome to the Big House, we are here to knock you the fuck out out.

OSU's revamped O will handle them easily
Troy Smith? Antoinio Pittmann? Who are these jokers? Naw man, I know who they are, and let me tell you the Michigan defense loves nothing more than a quarterback who likes to scramble(Craig Krenzel? Anyone?).
Running QB = Injured QB.
November 20th, the time for talk will end.(At least for another year)

Texas A&M's loss to Baylor has to be one of the worst games they have ever played. A&M was too busy looking forward to OU this weekend or too busy jacking off to thier gay band and/or male cheerleaders that they forgot to play last Saturday in Waco and it cost them a loss.



Texas #7 - HOOK'EM HORNS
Texas A&M #22 <--- should be out of the top 25
Baylor #90 -- Good Job Bears

[Gonjawolverine]

Wow! That's all I can muster after the 3 overtime Classic that started a 3:30 in the afternoon and went on for another 5 hours. I had no clue MSU had such a prolific rushing attack. I have seen highlights of MSU's quarterback Drew Stanton in action, and was not real impressed. But after seeing him scamper around for those first downs and that touchdown, he changed my mind. But as you should expect from a running qb, with about 3 minutes until halftime, Stanton was drilled into the ground by the Wolverine standout OLB LaMarr Woodley and just happened to get this shoulder seperated in that whole process. At halftime it was 17-10 for MSU. I always belive that Michigan makes great halftime adjustments to the gameplan, but on this day it didn't seem to matter much to State what Michigan's gameplan was.
After the halftime break MSU was relentless in trying to pound U of M into submission. Even with their leader hurt and on the bench, back-up qb Damon Dowdell kept up the running assult on big blue. For pretty much the entire game except the last 7 minutes, MSU was beating Michigan to the punch on every play offensively and defensivly. With about 7:15 left in the fourth quarter, MSU's tailback DeAndra Cobb busted out a 63 yard run to put State up 27-10.
By then I was completely demoralized and ready to beat the hell out of a loud mouth State fan sitting just a few rows in front of me. So the spartans kick-off the ball and we get it back around the 20, whoop-dee-doo. The first play out of the gate is a 46 yard strike from Chad Henne to Braylon Edwards. The offense then stalls, so we take the field goal and reel MSU a little closer 27-13. Then Michigan lines up for the onside kick, they have two kickers out there, Nienburg facing the right side and Rivas on the left. So Rivas lets it rip, It bounces right off a spartan to Michigan TE Brian Thompson, and big blue recovers. It takes two plays and 15 seconds for Braylon to come up with a touchdown. We are now down 27-20 with 6:12 left, so we kick it off and let our defense do their thing. The Spartys got to about the 35 yard line before they had to punt. We have the ball, 3:24 left on the clock, so what does Michigan do? Two plays and 14 seconds later, Edwards is in the endzone again with his second TD and we are all square at 27-27 with about 2:59 on the clock. For the rest of regulation, it is a defensive battle, State had the chance to put us away with a 51 yard field goal with 3 seconds left in regulation, but it was a little windy out, so that kick was not close at all.
In the first O.T. we both got FGs so it was 30-30. In the second O.T. State struck first with a rushing TD from Jason Teague, so we answered with a TD pass to Jason Avant it was 37-37. Finally in the third O.T. on 3rd and 9 from the 24, Henne hit Braylon in stride right down the middle for a 24 yard TD reception, on the 2-point conversion, Henne hit Tim Massaquoi in the back of the endzone for the duece. With that score it was 45-37 Michigan, and I was very happy once again. This week is a bye, after a game like that I need the week off.
P.S. Michael Hart had his third consecutive 200+ yard rushing game, first back in Michigan History to do that. Take that adrian peterson

[Gonjawolverine]

Whats with all these accusations that the once great, former Ohio State Tailback Maurice Clarett is making on Tressel and his staff? Coclarkson? you out there? ESPN.COM (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=1919246)
Tressel and Gieger are both straight up called him a liar.
But being around big time college football a lot over the past few years,
I know he is not lying.

[coclarkson]

every school does that shit, even UM. The NCAA already investigated OSU a year ago and couldn't find anything, so i'm not too worried about the program being put on any kind of probation. but don't get me wrong, i'm sure clarett and other players recieved money and other shit, but like i said it happens at every school. when at Iowa i knew some basketball players who drove around in new explorers and had their apartment rent paid for. these guys come from the ghetto and all of a sudden have $10,000 gold necklaces and those fuckers never went to class and still passed. Hell, if the NCAA investigates anybody it should be Steve Alford and Iowa's bball team. as for the piece of shit Clarett, i don't think he'll be showing his face in Ohio any time soon. I think since nobody gives a shit about him he wanted to attract some attention to himself. He'll be in and out of the NFL faster than Ryan Leaf.

[oscaraustin]

I'm sick of Oklahoma being the #2 team in the country. They AREN'T that GOOD! They have nearly lost the past two weeks, and three weeks ago against Kansas, or KSU (don't remember which, it's just Kansas) they weren't impressive either. OSU was a rivalry game so that is one thing to have it be close, but the #2 team in the country needs to be levelling their opponents week in and week out. Oklahoma doesn't impress me at all. The Big 12 used to be one of my favorite conferences, but now, just like the Big 10 the quality of the teams has dropped. Neither Nebraska nor Texas are what they used to be, and K State is falling back, too. No competition or big enough wins to merit #2 for OU.

Oh and their douchebag running back who has gone "Over 200 yards twice this season! It's so amazing!" Fuck that. Hart for U of M(ichigan) has gone over 200yds the past 3 weeks. The only game he's been below 100 was the season opener before he became the signature back, and only carried the ball a handful of times.

[Cassidy]

are you fuckin' kidding me?! :roll: who, may i ask, do you think should be #2? auburn? mmm....maybe, if they can get past UGA this week. cal? not even! granted the big 12 isn't as much of a power house as they were in the 90s or even the past couple years - but they're still a damn good conference!

and as for the douchbag - i would assume you are refering to one of the greatest freshmen ever - Adrian Peterson! yes, Hart has had 3 games with over 200 yards rushing, but AP is not only possibly going to be the 1st freshman to win the heisman, but has rushed for over 100 yards in 9 straight games. (hmm.. i don't recall Hart up for the heisman this year, but OU has 2 players up for it!!)

You don't have to tell me about Football and Basketball players recieving money and gifts. I know for a fact there are players rollin' around in nice ass rides, because I see them every day. I am not naming names or nothing but it is a part of life at a big time college football school.
There is an Sports Illustrated columnist named Stewart Mendel, and he wants the President of the Ohio State University, Dr. Karen Holbrook to report the universitys improprieties to the NCAA and impose a one year death penalty on the entire athletic depatment. Sounds pretty harsh to me. ------>SI.com (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2004/writers/stewart_mandel/11/11/ohio.state/index.html)<-------

OK, when you start the Mike Hart bashing thats when I have to get involved.
Cassidy, Peterson is no doubt a great player, but he ain't winning the Heisman. You only think he is up for the Heisman because ESPN is hyping him up, but ESPN doesn't vote on the Heisman. If Herschel Walker didn't win the Heisman, no way Peterson does. Walker rushed for 1616 yards, avg 5.9 ypc, and scored 15 td's in his freshman year. While Peterson has comperable numbers, Herschal did not win the heisman his fresman year, and neither will Peterson.

Peterson started all the games for OU this year and has 1,373 yards rushing, a whole 213 yards more than Mike Hart.
Mike Hart did not start a game until week 4.
213 yards is one game to Mike.
Peterson is pretty good but he is not the best.
Yeah, Mike Hart is the Man.

Besides, ain't you a UVA fan? And Fuck the Big "Pussy" XII.

[utfan27]

I haven't been over every single post, but where's the love for the SEC?

They've been down over the last year or two but the SEC can compete against any other conference. I'm not saying the ACC won't turn out to be the dominant conference within the next year or two, but this year is not the year. And I hate to say this, but Auburn looks tough from top to bottom. But, there is no unbeatable team this year. And Tennessee was doing pretty good with 2 FROSH QB'S, until that dumbass play at the end of the half against Notre Dame.

Anyway, just interested to hear what you guys say. I'm sure it'll be something like "the SEC sux". :wink:

[Gonjawolverine]

I haven't been over every single post, but where's the love for the SEC?
The Love-
War fuckin' Eagle!!!

Sadly, one the best (and smallest) LBs the SEC has been blessed with in quite some-time, Carlos Dansby, has moved on. Little bastard was only 211lbs, but played like he weighed 240. Im not so sure about this Williams kid that supposed to replace him. From what ive seen he hits like a damn hammer, but I question his ability to read and adapt.

The McNabb wanna-be weve got at QB is decent, but he still cant throw for shit. I swear if he doesnt start throwing the goddamn ball ill scream and pitch a fit like a little girl. Although, it is fun seeing him steamrolling safetys.

Speaking of steamrolling, Tubberville needs to open his fucking eyes and pay Ronnie Brown a little more. Hes like Mike Alstott with speed. Much as I love to see Carnell "Cadilliac" Williams break some ankles, he really doesnt have the toughness for 30+ touches a game facing SEC defenses.

Anyway, I dont expect Auburn to win the SEC. I firmly believe theyve got the talent to beat the living shit out of every other team down this way, except LSU. Much respect to the other Tigers.

By the way, Georgia fans can kiss my white ass. You bastards annoy me more than Alabama fans ever will.

AUfan didn't have very high expectations for his Tigers, but being #3 in the nation ain't too shabby. That dude has not posted in a while so I can only assume he is happy with where his team stands.

UTfan27, Are you a Vol fan? Is that why you have all this love for the SEC? The SEC is a much tougher conferance than the big 12, and good assertion on the ACC having an off year. You can't always expect teams like Miami, and FSU to lose so much during the same season. Every time Michigan hooks-up with the SEC there are always fireworks. Last time Michigan played Tennessee, we got fucking smoked, I still hate Casey Clausen to this day. I would love to hook up with you basterds again, and avenge that loss. But unfortunatly your team is ranked much to low to play a great team like Michigan.
I actually have a lot respect for the SEC, There are a lot of good teams in the conferance. It is kind of like the Big Ten, all the good teams play and beat up, on eachother.
But compared to the Big 10......the SEC SUCKS! :twisted:

[Cassidy]

oh now Gonja... i didn't mean to get you all in a tizzy :wink:
i really meant no harm to Hart - he is an impressive player. I just wanted to point out to oscaraustin why OU is so deserving of being #2.
as for AP winning the heisman - i think he has a shot, and listening to ESPN, really, half of them are anti OU. they have been since last season about the polls and 'who should really be in the championship' crap.

and yes i am a UVA fan - completely. (i cannot wait until tomorrow's game!!! :D ) I just like to watch AP play, plus i respect OU and the program they have built after all the crap in the 80s (granted they brought it on theirselves). plus I really like how Stoops runs things over there.

[oscaraustin]

(hmm.. i don't recall Hart up for the heisman this year, but OU has 2 players up for it!!)

The thing about the heisman is...... every player is up for it (or is in the theory of things, but this isn't reality anymore). ESPN picks their most marketable / best story guys at the beginning of the year to follow. Peterson was known to be a star player from the beginning of the year as a freshman. Hart, as mentioned above, did not start and was not the feature back until week 4, therefore he would not be on ESPNs list nor in the national spotlight for heisman.

The heisman is just like the BCS though, it only focuses on its precious few prized teams/ players it loves and won't talk about any others.

Watch a sportscenter on a saturday night, where they talk about Petersons amazing 2nd 200 yard game in a row, and and briefly mention an "oh yea, Hart went 200 for his 3rd straight week." Because they only want to talk up Peterson! He's their story!

I'm not dissing Peterson, he is a very talented back as well. I just think Hart is playing a bit better right now.

[utfan27]

Hey Gonja, screw you. Typical Michigan fan :lol: Just playing.

Yeah I'm a huge Vols fan, but this year has been up and down. If you beat Uga And Fla with frosh qb's usually thats a good season, but after the Notre Dame game, I'm left with a sour taste in my mouth. But as a Michigan fan, I'm sure you can sympathize. :wink:

You guys got some good young players, but you wanna play us again? I mean, how many times do you have to get your asses smoked before you learn? :twisted:

And I'm curious to see who everyone thinks will win the BCS. Oklahoma looks too suspect on defense, but USC has been cutting it close too. I think Auburn should get a chance if they win the SEC.

Oh, and the Big 10 is better than the SEC? You're entitled to your opinion.

No matter how wrong it is.

Anyway, Gonja and everyone else, good luck with your teams.

[coclarkson]

the heisman should and will go to Reggie Bush of USC. the BCS championship game will have the USC trojans vs. the Wisconsin Badgers. UVA-ginas will get smoked by Miami. and since were talking about freshman, i have to throw in Tedd Ginn Jr. of THE Ohio St. University. he's a TD threat every time he touches the ball. out of all of the impact freshman this year, Ginn has the most upside. he's a multiple threat at WR, Kick and Punt returner and he can also play a little corner, after all he was the #1 cornerback recruit in the nation. He will definately win a Heisman or two in the future.

http://www.imagevenue.com/loc1/bea57_a.jpg

[Gonjawolverine]

The BCS title game should be USC vs Auburn.
I don't think OU deserves the #2 spot because the Big XII is just so weak.
Wisconsin doesn't deserve the nod becasue they are not even the best team in the Big 10.
So, if Auburn goes perfect they should get the #2 spot.

The Heisman should go to either Reggie Bush or Matt Leinert. But 9 times out of 10 it goes to the QB of the #1 team in the nation.

oh now Gonja... i didn't mean to get you all in a tizzy :wink:

It's all good cassidy, but you must see how much ESPN sucks that Sooner cock.

He will definately win a Heisman or two in the future.
I was watching the MSU vs. OSU game last week and I saw this Ginn Jr. kid play. I have to say, that kid has some serious wheels. Does he even play CB? The only time I saw him in the game, he was either on special teams or he was a wide-out.
I am looking forward to #3 Marlin Jackson shutting him down.

[utfan27]

Any predictions on the Auburn vs Georgia game? Are there any upsets going to happen? I'd also like to hear from the OSU fans about the article on Tressel over at ESPN.com And what do you guys think about someone getting screwed over in the BCS? Personally, I think Auburn deserves the shot above Wisconsin.

Go Vols!

[hcliff69]

im a Wisconsin fan and i think if auburn can go undefeated they deserve it also over wiscy. But if auburn doesnt manage to do it and oklahoma falters how can wisconsin be kept out. as far as not being the best in the big ten gonja the record speaks for itself how many other teams in the conference are undefeated not to take anything away from michigan i think they are a great team but this might just be wisconsins year. they have a top notch defense and stocco has improved every game as long as davis stays healthy (a big question mark) i think wisconsin can hang with the best in the country.

edit:: looks as if i spoke too fuckin soon as wiscy is gtting their asses handed to them right now. congrats to your mich team gonja and goodluck in the rose bowl

A lot of my friends play on OSU. I'm from Ohio. I love the Buckeyes. But they played like shit today. I turned the TV off at the final 2min. Who won? Also, I praised Clarrett his freshman year, now he can go fuck himself.

[utfan27]

Well, Auburn bsat up on Georgia, and OU is in the process of blowing out Nebraska. Now what are the polls gonna do? :lol:

If Auburn wins out, and beat us TWICE, they deserve to be at least #2. Period.

[Gonjawolverine]

Another week in the college football books, another Michigan Victory. Today was Senior Day, we honered all the great Michigan Players who will never again suit up in the Big House. Braylon Edwards, Marlin Jackson, Ernest Shazor, Roy Manning, Dave Baas, Kevin Dudley were among the Seniors we celebrated today. The Northwestern Wildcats were fighting for their post season lives today. The Cats are one win shy of bowl eligablity, so they brought their A game today, but sometimes that is just not good enough. NW's QB Beasenez is a good option QB, he has good speed. But when he trys to throw the ball, he has no kind of touch or accuracy. Too bad. The Fab 2, Henne and Hart had very respectable numbers. Henne completed 19 of his 26 pass attempts for 187 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions. While Mike Hart contributed by setting a new career high with three touchdown scores on 151 yards rushing. Steve Breston has been pretty quiet most of the season with nagging injuries, but he had a breakout game with 5 catchs for 50 yards, a touchdown, and a punt return for another touchdown.
Only one opponent left, see bottom of post for details.

congrats to your mich team gonja and goodluck in the rose bowl
Those Spartys are tougher than they look. They ran for 370+ on us, and fought to the bitter end. I knew they had a chance against Wisconsin, but damn. That was a just a beat down in the second half.
Hcliff, having one loss and being ranked in the top 10 ain't so bad.

A lot of my friends play on OSU. I'm from Ohio. I love the Buckeyes.
That sucks for you.

Well, Auburn beat up on Georgia, and OU is in the process of blowing out Nebraska. Now what are the polls gonna do? :lol:

Shit, if USC wasn't the defending National Champ, I would say rank Auburn #1

It is officially on!!

early prediction: OSU 19 UM 17
Mike Nugent kicks game winning field goal as time runs out
The pain is coming, my friend. I don't believe it'll be as close as you think it will be.

http://www.imagevenue.com/loc1/8b5da_a1.jpg vs. http://www.imagevenue.com/loc1/3faf3_a.jpg
My bold prediction: Michigan 34 - Ohio State 13
Mike Hart will go "Buck Wild" and rush for 150+yards and 2+TD's easily

P.S. Cassidy, what happened to your wahoos? How about AP? 58 yards on 15 carries is not very "Heisman"-like.

[oscaraustin]

Ok, so on the topic of 'OK', Oklahoma actually impressed me this week. Nebraska isn't what they used to be, but still to blow them out by such a margin is impressive. If this were the end of the season though, I would still have Auburn in the two spot though. Div 1 needs a playoff like the lesser divisions!

As far as http://www.imagevenue.com/loc1/3faf3_a.jpg vs. http://www.imagevenue.com/loc1/8b5da_a1.jpg, this game always scares me. I don't think it will be as big of a margin as Gonjawolverine is thinking, although i wish it would be. Especially down in the horseshoe... It will be close, and if I voice my desire for Michigan to win beforehand, they will choke! So, I'm just going to say it will be a very good close game.

[Cassidy]

P.S. Cassidy, what happened to your wahoos? How about AP? 58 yards on 15 carries is not very "Heisman"-like.

haha... i knew that was coming...
i hang my head in shame for my cavs... :( i don't know what the hell happened to them yesterday -they were making a comeback and then just decided to hand over the game!! i turned the game off after UM caught the interception with 7 minutes left... it was ridiculous!! although my AP (Alvin Pearman) looked good for most of the game.
and as for Peterson...now i didn't get to watch the game, but if we can give excuses to Hart, :wink: I got one for AP - dislocated shoulder. no wonder he wasn't at his best...luckily they had another heisman contender - Jason White to pick up the slack :wink:

and congrats on the wolverines win...

C'mon oscar, if you bleed maize and blue, like I do, you have no fear of any opponent, especially Ohio State. But damn, this seems a little too familiar though. One team playing the spoiler, while the other has higher aspirations. Hey Coclarkson, I think we have done this one a few times before, am I right? The 101st meeting will be a great one, for Michigan.
Those bucks better put Ginn Jr on Braylon or it's gonna be a long day for the scarlett and gray. Oh yeah, we got Mike Hart too.
The ass whooping is coming

and as for Peterson...now i didn't get to watch the game, but if we can give excuses to Hart, :wink: I got one for AP - dislocated shoulder. no wonder he wasn't at his best...luckily they had another heisman contender - Jason White to pick up the slack :wink:
Jason White was the only Heisman contender on the team. If Peterson had a chance for the Heisman, getting hurt and playing sparingly will not help him and he doesn't have that chance anymore. The Heisman voters usally don't get a chance to award the trophy to the same guy twice, but White is giving the nation something to think about. White was very impressive against a lame-ass Nebraska team. But, how many times does OU play a top flight oppositon that is not in the big 12? Never, only in Bowl games. They sure as hell don't play quality teams on the non-conference schedule.

[oscaraustin]

C'mon oscar, if you bleed maize and blue, like I do, you have no fear of any opponent, especially Ohio State.
But, i don't bleed maize and blue, I attend the teachers U 8 miles east-south-east (yay Eastern, and by "yay" I mean "boo").

It's the same with all the big UofM games, though, Notre Dame, State, and Ohio State... they are always close, and the underdog always outplays the supposed-to-be-winner. OSU has ruined UofMs Rose Bowl bids too many times to proclaim victory. I'm a realist/pessimist... i fear every opponent when something is potentially on the line. Only because i know my Michigan teams (this includes Lions, Tigers, Wolverines et cetera) have the tendency to screw up when it's important.

Plus, I can't bleed maize and blue I'm told since, I have a partiality at times for the Spartans, since they pull in the players from Flint, Detroit, Saginaw... what can i say, i like hometowners.[/quote]

[Gonjawolverine]

But, i don't bleed maize and blue, I attend the teachers U 8 miles east-south-east (yay Eastern, and by "yay" I mean "boo").
Thats cool man, Ypsi is a nice town or extension of Ann Arbor, my ex-girlfriend is a dancer at the Vu over there(whore).
But anyway, You pessimistic views are not completly unfounded. I have had my heart broken into many pieces, many times. But you have to have a little faith. You can't always expect the worse, it's just not healthy. I have nothing but unwavering faith and loyalty to my school and my team, so I expect ass-whippings on every saturday of the season. Unless we are playing a PAC-10 team on the west coast, then I become a realist/pessimist, those PAC-10 schools play dirty.

Coclarkson, what the hell is going on in columbus? Why did Geiger invite the NCAA to investigate? Is he insane? Even if he thinks they have nothing to hide, the NCAA will find something on OSU. The NCAA does not care if they get thier information from disgraced football players or former players that dropped out. OSU is going to be so fucked. What's up with more former players speaking out? It' a good thing your 2002 BCS title is a "mythical" championship, the NCAA can't touch it. Apparently the NCAA does not award a national title in fooball. Good thing for the buckeyes.

[coclarkson]

"Ohio State hasn't been ranked since losing 33-7 to Iowa on Oct. 16. But that might make them even more dangerous."

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=1923978

[utfan27]

Whats all this OSU vs Michigan bullshit? The real rivalry is TENNESSEE vs Vanderbilt. :lol:

In all seriousness, if we win we wrap up the East, but if we dont get our qb's back we're gonna get our asses kicked by Auburn.

I think Stoops is starting to get a little worried.

now excuse me while i go get drunk with the rest of Ohio

[oscaraustin]

Yea, i knew it. OSU v. UofM always goes to the one with nothing riding on the game but pride.
If Wisconsin goes to the Rose Bowl I will care about the loss, partially because I want to see Michigan go, but more because I just really hate Wisconsin. If Michigan goes, I really don't care. I don't hate OSU like most in SE Michigan. Besides, they fucking destroyed Michigan today, and it made me laugh. I love seeing top 10 teams get dropped by non-ranked opponents.

[Gonjawolverine]

Gonja, you're lucky that I don't have your phone number!!!!
Good win Coclarkson, I have to give your team props. They played their asses off out there. I really didn't think they had that much resolve. They got up for this game, this game was their season and they came through big time. That basterd Tressel is 3-1 against Big Blue and that is a little disappointing. But thank the Lord for your other team the Iowa Hawkeyes, I love those motherfuckers. It was a hard loss, but Iowa got the job done for us, so that kind of took the edge off that terrible defeat.
Being the Big 10 Champion again and going to the Rose Bowl ain't so bad, but I really hate losing to OSU.
We will get you next year.
38-57-6 Wow you guys are really closing in on us.
Once again Coclarkson, Congrats.
(good luck in the Motor City Bowl)

[Gonjawolverine]

This is a shout-out to Notre Dame. HA! HA!
The Irish wanted Urban Meyer, so they fired a decent coach(even though he is a Sparty) in Tyrone Willingham. The flew out to Utah, wined him and dined him. What did they get for all of their effort. REJECTED! DENIED! Florida has one of the top QB's in the nation with Chris Leak, and they are Florida, they get lots of great recruits in-state.
Good Call Urban, with ND, it is a long road to a National Title.
With Florida, they are years ahead of ND in talent and recruits and are much closer to the promise land.
FUCK YOU NOTRE DAME!
Who ever your coach is, he wil not be better than the one you just fired you racist basterds.

*************UPDATE******December 5, 2004**********************

Miami is fucking terrible.
Good job Berlin, way to step up and get your team in a BCS bowl game.
What a suckass.
I think Miami will be much better next year.
The sooner they get rid of Berlin, the better.

[Cassidy]

so Gonja... i take it i'll never hear the end of the fact that neither White nor Peterson won the Heisman.... :wink:

but on my defense - peterson did come in second! and had the most votes of any freshman in history!! on the other hand - what is it... second place is only the first loser (Dale Earnhart - "3") ..... ( i really gotta get out more :lol: )

[oscaraustin]

Nothing against Peterson, but I'm glad he didn't win. I'm glad a freshman didn't win. I think the heisman should be a Seniors award, I don't even think Juniors should be eligible. But then, I don't think non-grads should be able to go into theNFL either, so i want the heisman to be an incentive to stay through Senior year.

With that said, I'm glad a Trojan won and not a Sooner, even if he did look like that douchebag Bob bachelor guy :?

[coclarkson]

It's a shame that a WR wasn't nominated. I would like to see the top QB, RB, and WR all nominated and then have two wild card spots reserved either for an all-everything type player like Reggie Bush, a kicker like Mike Nugent, or a defensive playmaker. why send 3 qb's? Michigan's WR Braylan Edwards deserved to be there more than Alex Smith!! I would've had Leinart, Peterson, Edwards, Bush, and Nugent. my winner would be Reggie Bush.

[sigep1007]

Although I do agree that there needs to be a little more diversity in the voting than top QB/RB for the top teams in the country, there is no way a kicker should be in your top 5. Even the Neutron man wouldn't have put Nugent in his top 5.

[Texan]

What sucks is the complete overlook of Cedric Benson. Benson is at least the second best if not the best running back in the nation, he just isn't a show boat, thus not invited to the ceremony.

[sigep1007]

Benson is a better back than either Bush or Peterson, IMO. But Reggie Bush is a better all around player and a better Heisman candidate too. I think Peterson got so much love because he brought another dimension to a one dimensional team. Last year OU lived and died by the pass and that's what cost them their last 2 games.

It's all good. You knew in your heart, that no Sooner was going to win the Heisman this year. It has been Leinarts' year since the season started. But look out next year. I could come down to Leinert, Bush and Peterson again. But hopefully we will have a Michigan man higher than 10th place in voting.

It's a shame that a WR wasn't nominated. I would like to see the top QB, RB, and WR all nominated and then have two wild card spots reserved either for an all-everything type player like Reggie Bush, a kicker like Mike Nugent, or a defensive playmaker. why send 3 qb's?

The thing is, every player in the college football is given the chance to win this prestigous trophy. But if your numbers are not sexy enough, you get no dap. I know the ohio state universty is so young, but still, the Nuge in your top 5? C'mon coclarkson, you are just too buck-crazy. You should have said Ted Ginn Jr or something more realistic.

[AUFan]

I havent posted in awhile, mostly because ive taken a liking to about 12 different forums and I cant keep up with them all.

First thing, War Eagle. Theyve done me proud. UT twice, LSU, Georgia, and Alabama, and the SEC Championship all in the same year is about as good as it gets in college football.

As the resident Auburn fanatic, do I think we got the shaft? Yes. A big, bold, resounding hell fuckin' yes. Quite honestly, USC doesnt deserve #1. Theyre #1 because the pollsters felt bad for fucking them last year. Either way, I refuse to be sour. Auburn will give VT one heullva game in the Sugar Bowl, and hopefully pull out a statement win so that little turncoat prick Lee Corso will have to eat his words. And by the by, fuck you too Kirk Herbstreet. Goddamn Justin Timberlake looking cock-holster.

Not only did USC Lewinski their way into the #1 rank, they also stole the heisman. Who the hell would have ever though Matt Leinart would win? What the living fuck, hes not even the best all around player on his own goddamn team! You show me Matt Leinart breaking ankles like Reggie Bush and ill present the Heisman to him myself.

One more thing, a little out of left field, but its my post so deal with it. Where in the holy hell did Texas come from? Cal took it prison style; Hard and without warning. Not that I really give a damn about the PAC-10, but my god thats just worthless. Texas is about as good as Alabama, and Alabama's entire fucking team is on IR (Literally, 3rd string everything. Even the damn kicker is hurt.) As a matter of fact, I dont think Texas could beat Alabama. They couldnt score on OU's shitty defense, ill be damned if they can score on Alabama's, since its the best in the nation.

[striker15]

I would just like to say...How 'bout them Horns!!!
After Virginia Tech and OU win this week, we'll finish number two in the final polls and maybe some of those damn critics can get off of our backs and give us a little respect.

Just wondering,

Shouldn't last seasons entries be either deleted or archived? Otherwise this thread is going to get extremely long and a bit confusing.

On subject, It looks like we actually have a running back again and I'm actually beginning to look forward to Sept. 24.

There is not another conference in the land, to compare to the Big 10 as far as tough oppenents. Maybe the SEC but thats it. I was very impressed by Brian Calhoune. That guy has that mixture of speed and power that you look for in a rb. It will be a challenge to stop him, but if a team can do it, that team will be Big Blue.

But before all that we have deal with the offensive guru of the great Tom Brady and his fightin' irish.

[steveo90]

bring on those buckeyes!!! we got three running backs for they aces!!! and when they are finished with them, we'll give you a little dose of V.Young (future heisman trophy winner)!! just ask those wolverines about Young, they will tell you. The truth.

[RichieTBaum]

Although I am extremely optimistic about Michigan's offensive capabilities, their defense is a completely different story.
So Gonja, I wouldn't say that, of all teams, UofM will be the one to stop Notre Dame.
I expect that game to be a shootout with the winner having around 45 points.
Don't get ne wrong, I am a Michigan fan but the defense just looks suspect so far...
Oh yeah and buck those fuckeyes.

[mindido]

Hey Gonja,

Heh, heh. Glad you picked up on that. Calhoun was absolutely amazing yesterday and his backup (Booker Stanley) did pretty well himself (I think his final total was 104 yards). But the O line really deserves some credit (I've been really worried about them). They opened some huge holes and Calhoun got through them quick. And he appears to have the vision (and speed) to get through those small holes. Pretty good debut.

But I have to give a few kudos to that QB from Bowling Green. He is as good as advertised and will win quite a few games this season.

Which brings up a question. How is it that the MAC is coming up with all these QB's? Seems like the Big 10 is missing something here.

[Texan]

Im just glad Ohio State came out strong. Was a little worried when Smith got suspended and Zwick got the start.

Next Victim: Texas.

Go Bucks!

Ohio fans better get the tissue out, this one is going to be a tear jerker.

Texas Fight!!

[friedreaper]

The Texas game will be a great game to watch. Ohio State has never lost a night game in Columbus and hasn’t lost at home outside the Big 10 since 1990. Texas has won 21 out of 22 of their last road games. Personally I think this game will come down to who has the better defense.

Go Bucks!

[Gonjawolverine]

bring on those buckeyes!!! we got three running backs for they aces!!! and when they are finished with them, we'll give you a little dose of V.Young (future heisman trophy winner)!! just ask those wolverines about Young, they will tell you. The truth.
I have to tell you, ut is a very athletic team. But osu's strength lies in its defense. texas may claim to have a good D, but michigan ate them up all day. osu is a Big 10 team not some puss-ass from the big 12. i got osu in this match-up.

Which brings up a question. How is it that the MAC is coming up with all these QB's? Seems like the Big 10 is missing something here.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v144/Gonjawolverine/bradysig2.jpg
MICHIGAN has no such quarterback issues, maybe its just wisconsin, and the rest of the Big Ten.

I expect that game to be a shootout with the winner having around 45 points.
Don't get ne wrong, I am a Michigan fan but the defense just looks suspect so far...
Oh yeah and buck those fuckeyes.
A shootout, my friend, is exactly what you will get. I watched a little of that ND v Pitt game and I must say, ND's defense, not real impressive. It will be a battle of Quaterback and running back play. Michigan's recieving corp is far superior to NDs'.

notre dame-28
U of M - 42

I'll take Henne and Hart over quinn and walker anyday of the week. Our defense may not be very cohesive unit yet, but it is still better that theirs'.

[bronco]

ND: 17
UM:10
42 points huh?

[steveo90]

A puss-ass big 12!? the same big 12 that has had a team in the national championship game 4 out of the last 5 years? I know that the big 10 lucked into the national title that one year that the refs decided to rip off Miami but lets not get carried away. especially with a michigan team that can't score in the red zone. I like how you pick those losers. keep it up with your osu pick and holla when Michigan actually wins a game.

[friedreaper]

Texas got lucky. Lucky that Tressel put Zwick in on that final drive. Lucky that Ginn wasn't a big offensive threat. Lucky that Smith wasn't turning Texas turnovers into touchdowns. Was a great game to watch. Both teams were pretty well evenly matched. A.J. Hawk and the rest of Ohio States linebackers proved they are good and not over hyped. Vince Young played a game and is going to be one sore mofo today.

[mindido]

Gonja,

"MICHIGAN has no such quarterback issues, maybe its just wisconsin, and the rest of the Big Ten."

Well, I didn't see much of the Michigan game, but it did seem they could have used one of those MAC QB's yesterday. :) And as far as our QB's, I think ours have done a pretty good job over the last few years (and certainly couldn't have done a better job yesterday).

Although I'm not happy with the final results, the Ohio State/Texas game was a good one. Also, did anyone else see the Northern Illinois/Northwestern game? That was the best game I saw yesterday. Have to give a lot of credit to N. Illinois coach Joe Novak. He really has some balls. If you didn't see it, here's what happened. Northern scored with a few seconds left in the game and was a point down. He decides to go for two. They didn't make it but have to give him a lot of credit for the gumption. Virtually every other coach would just make the kick and go into overtime.

[steveo90]

"Texas got lucky. Lucky that Tressel put Zwick in on that final drive. Lucky that Ginn wasn't a big offensive threat. Lucky that Smith wasn't turning Texas turnovers into touchdowns.

Vince Young played a game and is going to be one sore mofo today."

Lucky? that is called the breaks of the game. Smith didn't score but one touchdown, he sucked equally with Zwick. Smith didn't turn any turnovers into touchdowns because the texas D didn't let him. in fact there was one time that Ohio State fumbled the ball deep in texas territory and the ref called it down. i slowed the replay up on Tivo and he clearly wasn't down. So you can go ahead and take off 3 pts from the board. Ohio State was lucky that they kept getting the ball in such good field position. Teddy Ginn Jr. was gameplanned out of the game and couldn't even catch the balls that were thrown to him. I don't think that the teams were even at all. if texas hadn't given them the ball in such good field position, the game wouldn't have been close at all. Ohio has decent linbackers but Musberger couldn't have sucked Hawk's dick any harder. Aaron Harris is just as good a linebacker as Hawk. Vince Young might be sore today but he is still the leading heisman trophy candidate and a winner. Wait until Ohio State has to come down to Austin next year.

Vince Young carried your Texas team. As for decent linebackers tell me a team that has better? You can't because there isn't any. As for Vince Young being the leading canidate
Matt Leinart QB USC Sr.
Reggie Bush RB USC Jr.
Vince Young QB Texas Jr.
Laurence Maroney RB Minnesota
Brian Calhoun RB Wisconsin

Looks like hes #3 on that list.

Aaron Harris has nothing on A.J Hawk. Hawk had 12 tackles, 2 sacks, 1 forced fumble, a fumble recovery, and an interception.

What did Aaron Harris get? Surely nothing as impressive as Hawk.

[steveo90]

Harris got a victory. pretty nice.

plus harris put points on the board. did hawk do that? any ohio state arguments are done. they lost. wait till they come down to austin next year. until then, you can hope for a consilation bcs or bowl game.

plus if you think that 2 players on the same team could both be heisman candidates then you are crazy. i don't care what the espn poll says, the two players cancel each other out. if one is really an mvp then the other is clearly not as good because he benefits from playing with an mvp. lienart may be ahead of vince based on last year but so far this year vince is looking better. vince does what he does with no big name players on his entire offense. just wait until the end o the year and you will see.

[Texan]

Say all you want about Texas, but the one thing you cant say is that they lost.

[IHateHonda]

That Texas game was one hellava game tho. Texas is a great team. Notre Dame is looking great under Wies also.

[Gonjawolverine]

Well, I didn't see much of the Michigan game, but it did seem they could have used one of those MAC QB's yesterday. :) And as far as our QB's, I think ours have done a pretty good job over the last few years (and certainly couldn't have done a better job yesterday).
C'mon bro, when you have a stud like Calhoune, all you qb has to do is not fumble a snap or botch a handoff.

I fucking hate notre dame.

Chad had a "John Navarre" moment, Mike Hart got hurt, and we were still in the game up until the last drive. I knew Charlie Wies and his band of little green men would be a tough match-up, I thought it would be a old west style shoot out, but I was sure wrong. It was the old fasioned battle of defensive wills, and we came out on the short end. The loss hurts real bad, even after a week, but at least Big Blue showed me that we can actually depend on the D when the offense misfires.

UT vs Osu was quite the battle, Vince young is a freak of nature. I feel a lot better about the Rose Bowl seeing such a "great defense" like osu's shedded by this 6'6'' Michael Vick clone. Tressel did give the game away by going with Zwick, that guy is terrible. osu has no run game to speak of either. What happened to the greatest motherfucker to ever live,Ted Ginn Jr. ? Did he play in that game?

Good job Texas.

God, Iowa sucks. Iowa State? Give me a break.

Eastern Michigan Is hit this weekend.

[bravoman]

Just wanted to toss my name into this thread, since I am a huge college football fan. I am a student at South Carolina (you know, Steve Spurrier's new home). I see a lot of Big 10 action on the forum, but not much SEC or ACC talk. Come on, any Southern football fans out there?

[mindido]

Hey Gonja,

"C'mon bro, when you have a stud like Calhoune, all you qb has to do is not fumble a snap or botch a handoff."

That may be true but it seems Barry has decided to open up the offense a bit more this year. For the last two weeks there have been more balls flying around Camp Randall than I think I've ever seen. How long this will last I don't know but it has been interesting.

"I fucking hate notre dame."

I have to say I'm with you there.

bravoman,

I can't talk much about either conference but we are playing North Carolina this weekend. Apparently, NC is pulling out all the stops this weekend as:

1. Its a night game.
2. They're presenting the basketball team with their national championship rings at halftime.

I don't know what to expect but it should be a good game.

[Gonjawolverine]

Michigan vs Wisconsin will be the key match-up in the Big 10 this week, even though osu v iowa is getting all the press. It will be a good game. this will be a real test for our defense, taking on Heisman canidate John Calhoun. With the 6 o'clock kickoff, I will be so wasted, I hope I can remember the damn game is on.

That may be true but it seems Barry has decided to open up the offense a bit more this year. For the last two weeks there have been more balls flying around Camp Randall than I think I've ever seen. How long this will last I don't know but it has been interesting.
Mindido, we will see if your team is truely as rounded as you claim they are.
Good Luck.

Last Saturday @ the EMU game, I got a press pass and got to run up and down field and take some pictures. Enjoy.

[mindido]

Gonja,

I didn't exactly say the Badgers are well rounded, I just said they're throwing the ball around like I've never seen before. I'm certainly looking forward to the game, it should be a good one, and probably very close. But I'm not sure what to expect other than a lot of Calhoun and Stanley going every which way. It became pretty clear last week against North Carolina that when things get close, Barry relies on the O line and a good running back (but thats certainly nothing new).

I'm certainly hoping the Badgers are 4-0 after the game. Its awfully hard for me to wish a Wolverine good luck when they're playing the Badgers, but, since I had a brother that went to med school there, a certain amount of good luck. :)

[mindido]

Hey Gonja,

Have you gotten your head out of a daze yet? Must be one heck of a hang over! ;)

Anyway, that was one heck of a good game (as expected). Michigan certainly played about as good as possible although I'm not sure why they weren't throwing a bit more.

Oops, sorry about that: :)

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=2172176

It looks like Michigan had better get their act together quickly or they could get really smacked by Michigan State. Man, I don't believe what they did to Illinois.

[Gonjawolverine]

Yes, Yes, Congrats on a huge Victory for you and your school of choice. Enjoy it, because they come around once every 10 years or so. I thought the last play of Wisconsin drive was brilliant, QB sneak, brilliant.
The running qb is like kryptonite to Michigan.
After a half of pretty much shutting down the next great U W RB John Calhoune. he got his and rushed for over 100 yards in the second half, and you should thank the lord you have a guy like that because your qb is not very good, but he made a few throws when it counted, a few.
Just a couple plays completely changed the game.
On U of M's first drive they took it all the way down to the one and could not score on the first 3 downs, so what do you do? Take FG and the 3 points? Hell No! you go for it on fourth down and get absolutly nothing for the drive.
And Lloyd went Chicken shit on us and went for a FG with :09 seconds left on the clock at he end of the second half, when he could have called a pass play to at least try to get a TD, But Nope, Now he takes the 3 points. Genius.

As you can probably tell, I am not a happy motherfucker right now. The whole morale on campus is shot to shit. The upcoming game features a #11 ranked MSU Spartans vs. an unranked Michigan team, for the first time since the
60's. Even though state hung 60 on ILL and 40 on ND, We will win this game. Why? or How? You may ask, because we have too. Because if we do not at least beat state, the season really is shot to hell, and unlike Ill or ND, we play D.

Hey mindido----------->47-11-1
your team still has a long way to go. but again, Congrats on a huge win.

[mindido]

Hey Gonja,

Glad to see the haze has finally lifted. I imagine the drinking around the UM campus this last week probably even came a bit close to the partying that went on around here (although for entirely different reasons).

I do have to say that I was absolutely amazed that the Badgers stopped UM on that first drive (especially the way they did). For a bunch of no names, they did a pretty good job. And the QB sneak, that was a brilliant call. UM wasn't expecting that at all.

And have to agree about Stocco, especially in the first half, he somewhat looked like a deer caught in the headlights. But that did change in the 2nd half. But I also have to say that Henne also didn't look all that good. He had his moments (especially the flea flicker) but both teams really missed out when they didn't grab that kid from Bowling Green (still the best QB I've seen this year).

Finally, to tell you the truth, I'll be surprised if you get beat by MSU but..... They look pretty darn good so far. That will be another tough game.

And thanks for the congrats, I figured that may take a while.

USC-34 ND-31
It was a great game though all the way to the very end.

The Michigan vs. Penn State game was a fucking great game too. What looked like was gonna be a boring game being 3-0 at the half turned out to be a great game with Henne throwing a td pass as time expired to win 27-25.
http://espn-i.starwave.com/media/apphoto/AAS10610152354.jpg

[jerichooo]

There was 5 or 6 games that were awesome. The michigan vs penn st game was a snoozefest till the fourth quarter. Alabama vs ole miss came down to the finally 3 seconds, lsu vs florida was a damn good game, and who can beat nd vs usc that was one of the best games I've seen in a long time.

[mindido]

Man, this thread has really gone into the deep freeze. I was wondering, since the season is now almost over, about the concensus on the Heisman race.

I watched the USC/Fresno State game last night and was definitely impressed by Reggie Bush. I haven't seen all that much of him over the year (mainly just highlights) but that kid had one heck of a night (I think he wound up with around 500 all purpose yards). And some of the moves he made were exceptional. If I had a vote he would have to get mine after that performance.

P.S. I was really hoping Fresno State would beat USC and throw this whole BCS mess into a tizzy. Oh well.

Any other opinions?

[mbblue27]

Did you guys see the last play of the Alamo Bowl last night?!?!?!
If Michigan would've scored, that would've probably been the best play in college football history but Tyler Ecker is a fucking MORON and tried to be the hero instead of giving the ball to the BEST player on the field(Steve Breaston) who was right behind him calling for the ball.

Michigan fucking pisses me off!!!:bah:

[mindido]

mbblue,

Yup, I saw it. If it would have worked it would rank right up there with the Stanford band game. Michigan really blew it, overall. Nebraska shouldn't have even been in that game but they sure had a lot of help from those incompetant Sun Belt conference refs. I don't think I've ever seen a worse ref job (by a whole crew) in my life.

[menjin]

LSU 40 MIAMI 3 oh yeah BITCHESSS

[mbblue27]

Texas wins the Rose Bowl and are National Champions!! ----- 41-38

Vince Young is a fucking stud
http://www.picvault.info/images/174495_invinceable.JPG

Matt Leinart, even after losing, is still a cocky, arrogant bastard-----after the game he said "I still think we are the better team"
the better team doesn't lose

[mindido]

mbblue27,

I think I would have to agree with Leinert that USC is probably (overall) a better team, but they weren't last night. I don't think they took Texas seriously enough initially (i.e., Reggie Bush's fumble (?) in the first quarter) and they made too many stupid mistakes.

The interesting thing now will be to see if Young stays in school, I can't imagine that he will. He's losing 3/4 of his O line and will certainly be a top 5 choice in the draft.

And lastly. Way to go Penn State, Ohio State and Wisconsin! Bad, bad, bad Iowa, Michigan, Northwestern and Minnesota! You all need your little fannies spanked (oops, I guess they were)! ;)

[Texan]

Being a life long texas fan, it feels good seeing the tower covered in Burnt Orange.

Lienart is a damn crybaby, the better team won the game.

[mindido]

Tex,

"the better team won the game"

I still think USC was the better team overall and it was their own fault they lost. They were far too arrogant and, after making some really stupid mistakes, deserved to lose. I mean, what the heck was USC thinking on those last two drives? Why they didn't have a spy or two on Young, to me, is baffling. Everyone knew what was going to happen (especially if you watched last years Rose Bowl) so.....

But the big question is now, will Young return? My bet is he won't. And the next interesting question is, what will Houston do now? I'd bet there is going to be a ton of pressure from fans for the Texans to get Young instead of Bush. That would probably be a mistake but will be interesting to see what happens.

[mindido]

I'm thinking that the Texans made a big mistake not taking Reggie Bush with the first pick, but maybe not.*

http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaaf/news?slug=dw-bush042806&prov=yhoo&type=lgns

It seems that old Reggie may be up to his neck in this scandal and, if the info in the article is accurate, USC may lose its 2004 national championship.

*Here's hoping other teams do the same and that the Packers get him. :)

[spliff81]

Well, the season is coming up in a month and a half and personaly i cant freakin wait. Im sure alot of people will want to be repping their schools so heres your thread. I know my Miami Hurricanes will bounce back from the 40-3 ass-whuppin they got from LSU in the Peach Bowl last year. Anyways heres my top 5....

1. Ohio State
2. Notre Dame
3. West Virginia
4. LSU
5. Florida

It is almost that time again, people.

The Greatest time of the year as far as a I am concerned.

Football Season.

This upcoming season should be a very interesting one indeed.

The Great Dynasty at USC looks to be over unless John David Booty (http://usctrojans.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/booty_johndavid00.html) can prove otherwise. With Vince Young (http://www.titansonline.com/team/players/bio.php?PRKey=324) gone, how can Texas hope to contend for the national championship? Has the Offensive Guru Charlie Wies (http://und.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/weis_charlie00.html) completly revived the storied Notre Dame football program? Only time will tell. I think there are a lot of storylines to become unfolded over the next few months.

The most important being the 2006 Michigan Wolverines.

This team is led by a trio who have been named to the
Maxwell Award Watch List,
Juniors Chad Henne & Mike Hart along with Senior Steve Breston.

The U of M looks to have one of the most explosive Offenses in the nation and it is in the hands of a new O.C. named Mike Debord. With Junior Chad Henne and his Michigan Record setting number 48 TD's in his first two seasons, Debord is looking to utilize the tight end a little more and spread out the offense on the field. By spreading the field, and spreading the defense, it just opens up the holes that Hart and Kevin Grady love to run through. The Reciever corp is led by Stevie B., along with "Super" Mario Manningham and Adrian Arrington, Doug Dutch and "The Man" Carl Motherfuckin' Tabb.

The Defense of the Michigan Wolverines is led by Coach Ron English, and the group he inherited is pretty fuckin' nice too.The top player being LB/DE and Saginaw, Michigan native (Sagnasty! What! What!) Senior Lamarr Woodley. The D-line is anchored by the big man Alan Branch (6'6'' 330lbs), the Linebacking corps are talented and deep, led by Seniors Presscot Burgess and David Harris along with Juniors Chris Graham and Shawn Crable. The front seven will be fast and physical.

[quixotically]

I love The U. However, I'm really discouraged with Larry Coker's inability to attract the best talent. His recruiting classes are extremely subpar. Also, the offense is unbearable to watch. It's boring. In short, there's nothing exciting to get pumped about. But I still love The U. Go Hurricanes.

[Gonjawolverine]

This Saturday
November 18, 2006
@ 3:30 EST
The Big Game
will be played.

It will take place in Columbus, Ohio
Home of the Buckeyes.

It will be the 103rd meeting of these greats rivals
The hype machine(ESPN) is calling it
"Judgment Day"
This is the first time they have been #1 vs #2 in this game

To me it's a big game every year, no matter what our rankings are.
But, I have hoped and prayed for this situation, for years
And in less that 50 hours, it will be Gametime.

#2 Michigan vs. #1 Ohio State

Hail to the Victors

We will see if the top defensive unit in the country
is all they are cracked up to be.

I can assure you,
that if Mr. Smith wants to get mobile,
Lamar Woodley will be more than happy to put him out of the game.
GO BLUE

It sucks that he died the day before the game too cause I'm sure he would have really liked to watch that game since it's the biggest and most important UofM vs OSU game ever.
Sad to see him go.

RIP

[mindido]

Well, sorry about the game today Blue. Michigan did their best but just couldn't overcome that OSU home field advantage (few can). I'm now hoping that they meet again in the national championship game. Being that Southern Cal is losing at the moment, thats a good possibility.

[DBfan187]

OSU will win and the SD Chargers will be used as a mop!
halfway there

[swede68]

Valiant effort Blue. Soo wanted you to pull that off...

[mindido]

Well, its the end of the year and the lower echelon of the Big 10 has really blown it. But way to go Badgers (12-1) and Penn State! Now hopefully Michigan and Ohio State will take care of business. Imagine a final BCS rating of:

1. OSU
2. Michigan
3. Wisconsin

That wouldn't be too bad.

[l3lasphemer]

Lemme fix that for you mindido

1. OSU
2. Michigan
3. LSU
4. Florida

LSU with the big win in the Sugar Bowl!! 41 - 14, sorry ND better luck next year.

GEAUX TIGERS!!!!

I think that needs a little tweaking again.

1. OSU
2. LSU
3. Wisconsin
4. Boise State
5. USC

Michigan certainly no longer belongs in the top 5, they totally blew it the other day. I'd like to hear from our Michigan fans: Is Lloyd Carr going to keep his job? I would imagine he will but people over there must be about to pull their hair out. I also think its about time the Big 10 makes a new rule that even if Michigan wins the conference, they never be allowed to go to the Rose Bowl. :) They always lose it (at least recently)!

[l3lasphemer]

Haha, have to agree with you about Michigan, I was hoping they would take care of business. I am glad now that Florida got the bid for the national championship over Michigan, I don't think OS and Michigan in the championship game would have been a bigger draw.

I will be pulling for Florida, even though they beat LSU this season. Though I do hope someone knocks the crap out of Tebow, I really got tired of hearing about him.

LSU still needs to play USC to settle the score once and for all, one reason I was hoping LSU would have went to the Rose instead of the Sugar. Let's just hope Jamarcus Russel stays for his last season, I think if he does he will be a big favorite for the Heisman this coming season.

[Karynak]

1. OSU
2. LSU
3. Louisville
4. USC
5. Boise St.

[l3lasphemer]

As much as I would love to see LSU finish second, there is no way the polls are gonna place them above USC. They still think that the SEC is an upstart college and doesn't compare the history of the ACC, BIG-10/12 and others. Even though just about every season in recent history has at least 6-7 SEC schools in the top 25.

LSU had one of the toughest schedules this season playing 4 top 10 teams on the road and still finishing 11-2. We are starting to get some respect but it is what it is.

[mindido]

l3lasphemer,

I don't really think the SEC is having any problems getting respect nowadays. If anything its the exact opposite. They always have a lot of teams rated in the Top 25. And its hard to say where they'll end up in the year end final, but certainly in the top 5.

Let's just hope Jamarcus Russel stays for his last season

I think you can pretty much figure he's gone on to the next level. He'll probably be a top 5 pick.

And jeez, I'm surprised no one has mentioned that Boise State/Oklahoma game. That has to be one of the best games I've ever seen...ever!

Wow is karma a bitch..........

Hey Ohio State..How's it feel to lose the National Championship to an underdog? Wasn't Ohio State the "superior" team?

You know how OSU fans feel right now? Probably the same way Miami fans felt in 03.

And dont complain about Ted Ginn being hurt, and one of your best players being out, cause in 2003 I believe Willis McGahee was hurt in that game as well.


WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND......LMAO...I love it.

I can't imagine Boise State is beyond the top five. That would be a disgrace.

Holy Shit! How bout them Gators! Finally a little respect for the SEC please. 3 SEC Schools in the Top 10, SEC team wins the National Championship by completely destroying a "superior" Ohio State team. Oh it was announced on the news this morning, Jamarcus Russell is headed to the NFL. Question is whether the Raiders want to snag him to bolster their offense, I think they would be morons to pass him up.

Here is the final AP Poll
