College Football 2010

And now let's move back to our regularly scheduled college football thread.

But that's beside the point, like I said, this isn't about me or my fanhood.

 

Yes, this is about MY fanhood or lack thereof. To be honest, if my "fanhood" is based on watching every game without fail regardless of what else is going on or things I am doing, well, I guess I am not fan.

 

Well, I am a fan, of my daughter, not the Buckeyes, using feeltheforce's standards. She will always come first, which is the reason I took the trip in the first place. I am GLAD I did not consult the football schedule before making plans for my trip.

 

Like I said feeltheforce, you have proven your point. YOU are a true fan, you do not let ANYTHING get in the way of you watching your teams. I do. You rule.

Shouldn't us SEC East folks be talking basketball instead.

[ernierocker]

^Seriously! I don't think anyone wants to win the SEC East this year.

The SEC East is the new Big 12 North.

[FeelTheFORCE]

Cool story slither. I cut my losses and ended that conversation hours ago.

 

 

Regarding the SEC East, imagine if USC didn't beat Alabama. That division would be even more of a train wreck than it is now, which is hard to believe.

Georgia fans think they can win it

That's not how things are in the south! Life revolves around Saturdays

My friend, who was a bigger Tennessee fan than I was, ended up getting married while a UT game was going on. That is how I knew he really liked her. (Or he wasn't ever going to get his way again!)

I'm still waiting on someone to hit the reset button on the XBox.

Close game, but Auburn pulled it out.

 

Defense didn't do the job, offense played ok. Just a tough day. If the defense plays like they should, it's a win. They didn't. Oh well, Auburn just flat out won. At least we can still beat Alabama.

 

Tough day, but I do get a Saints home game tomorrow.

[thrillerman1]

^ Yes, please beat Alabama!

[ajc47]

The Buckeyes have bounced back from the Wisconsin disaster. Though it seems every win is a blowout. I like a little competition.

[let1gre]

Crazy weekend (for me). Even though I liked Michigan State and Missouri, I'm glad there's less competition among the unbeatens now. Not because it wouldn't push the BCS issue more, but because I'm tired of people complaining about the BCS system.

 

Miami fans, sorry about Jacory Harris. The sound echoed through the stadium.

^ They did better without J12 - he can't throw picks from the sidelines

Of course, they always did have someone in who could take over expertly in the throwing-picks department!

Cam Newton=Reggie Bush 2.0

 

-Shady person trying to cash in on star athletes talent? Check.

 

-Father mysteriously coming up with a nice building he couldn't previously afford? Check.

 

-All sorts of denials while the NCAA "investigates?" Check.

 

All that is missing is the Yahoo investigative report, which is surely underway as I am typing this. And will probably be published right around the Heisman ceremony or his bowl game to drum up maximum exposure.

^I should recall this since Tennessee was somewhat involved with his recruitment, but was he really that highly sought after? I know he was a highly rated QB out of high school, but looks like only 6 schools offered him last recruiting season.

 

It just doesn't add up that Auburn would have to pay to get his services when there were so few suitors involved in his recruitment.

[Saldek]

First Auburn and Arkansas both tally up a total of 108 points a few weeks ago and now Michigan just beat Illinois 67-65!

 

Do these teams play defense anymore??? LOL

[stingrock23]

Suck it, Bama.

 

I picked a great day to go to my first LSU game of the season.

[Saldek]

^Geaux Tigers!

 

*Note - not a big SEC fan but I root for LSU since a few of my good friends went to college there!

[let1gre]

They don't teach it in school anymore.

He was the top rated Junior College QB and received a "5 star" ranking from the major recruiting sites.

 

I suppose it is all just a coincidence he wanted to go to MSU with his former OC, but his dad chose Auburn for him right around the time his church received a donation large enough to fund renovations in order to stay open...

Dan Hawkins out at CU

 

University of Colorado coach, Dan Hawkins, has been relieved of his duties as the head coach of the football team. During his five years at CU, Hawkins has gone a dismal 19-39 and hasn't won a game outside of Colorado since 2007. Assistant coach Brian Cabral will serve as interim head coach for the team's three remaining games.

 

Can't be happier by this news! This is something that should have done at the end of last year!

[BeemerBoy]

^ Not only that, but the recruiting parties have sucked since he's been head coach too.

[let1gre]

^^ Not only that, but he never should have left Boise State. They did pretty well in the Hawkins era, but have done immensely better in the postHawkins Petersen era.
