Football Saturday Open Thread

Repeat of the Horns – Sooners game!!

I am outnumbered in the family 5-1. I went to Texas back in the 60’s and I witnessed Texas beating A &M on my 21st. birthday, Thanksgiving Day, November 28, 1963 and then going on to win the National Championship over Navy and Roger Staubach.

My sister, her husband, two kids and a son-in-law all went to Texas Tech. Boo on them!!!

And in case you were wondering how many Aggies it takes to figure out a Gameday sign, here’s your answer.

Also, if you are wondering about what might be the difference for recruits when deciding between going to USC and playing for Pete Carroll or going to College Station, here’s some good analysis.

Bring me some meat!

I watched two Big 10 games, that were good.

Minnesota loses to NW by throwing an int for a TD with about 30 seconds left.

and the Purdue play to win the game will be a play of the week. beating Michigan with a hook and ladder with 30 left.

great stuff from a stinky conference.

Do we take over 2nd alone all-time or do we tie for 2nd?

…the fact that no one even acknowledges what he was doing is perhaps my favorite part of the video.

Well, behind the fact that he was “riding the pony” in front of the OU band in the BSU shirt…

crazy catch

Trying to judge just how much better these SEC teams are compared to Big 12. Tough to tell so far because these defense are so fired up. I do know this: Not too impressed with Matt Stafford, the supposed “real” quarterback of the NCAA. Yeah, he has a pro-style build and release but his decision making is suspect and so far the only passes he has connected on are the ones where the receiver is running wide open. Haven’t seen a tight, into the teeth of the coverage pass yet.

Oh yeh, and this CBS analyst is slobbering all over Georgia’s balls.

perhaps another poor team from oklahoma can go down and not make it to anything spectacular…God i hope so.

He’s got a hurt funny bone.

Tebow squished.

look at the defensive alignment with the guard/tackle. they’re giving up five yards just being lined up like that.

who’s in charge there

bad call

I’d much rather play Penn State or Alabama than Florida

Pitt – ND is worse than GA – FL. People are sleeping in the front row.

so exciting isn’t it!

Throw not impressive either

the Big 12 North sure is sucking, aren’t we?

I am so sick of danielson

than Tebow or Stafford

blaming the tight end for the incompletion. WOW

used all their juju last weekend.

Pitt – ND sucks ass, but we knew that already. I enjoy watching Weis and Wannstache look disgusted and unhappy though.

doink ever.

Mark Richt is a loser

should be a law against political ads on sports channels.

wednesday can’t get here fast enough.

Corso picked Tech to pull off the upset.

Mizzou and Baylor tied at 21with 3:30 left in 3rd quarter.

This is one of the few times that I’ll be accused of rooting for the Bears.

at Rock M Nation aren’t doing so well.

Gig em Aggies!

Danielson’s reaction? “Fearless!”

that was hapless on that interception return.

ah, Danielson is there with the excuse.

No arm strength I guess…:-)

3rd with 13 min. left

There are three games going on at the networks and all three have commercial breaks at the same time. How do they manage that?

4th period, 2:22 left

Mizzou has the ball.

Then IF we take care of business, we get a Penn State team that has not seen a team with speed like Texas

ND near midfield. 52 sec. left. Tie score 24.

I want Nebraska to take the North. I’d rather UT not have a rematch in the Big 12 Championship.

4th down and 1 yard to go.

I take a shower

Pitt gets the ball with 32 sec at midfield.

Kept Pitt from scoring with 21 sec.

That shirt pull on Florida’s last touchdown… I think there’s a rule against that.

but they are playing vastly over-rated Georgia. Nonetheless, they look better than Penn State or Alabama in my opinion.

p.s. BBQing big rib eyes on mesquite fire wearing the same basic Texas shirt I wore for every game during 2005 and so far this year. Wife is allowing me to get drunk and watch the game despite it being her birthday. Awesome!

This FLA-GA game is a laugher.

will Tommy T survive this season?

took the lead on Baylor, game nearing end.

are going off at Notre Dame.

threw an interception.

should be Mizzou’s game.

He starts limping around immediately, probably wants out of the game

…. the kid is from nebraska and he left to play for Charlie Weis.

(insert long tirade of profanity here)

9 for 171 and 4 TDs

second ot starting.

my stomach is starting to turn into an ulcer machine.

effing Oklahoma. damn them.

this ND-Pitt game could go 5-6 OT on nothing but FGs…

freak out. there man rush gets the sack for Pitt.

the ghost of Franky Leahy is whispering in Weis’ ear – “I never sucked this much”

field goal ties it for ND.

shoot me. i’ve invested too much to walk away. it’s like a bad marriage.

Fourth OT. Oh boy.

I’m really hoping it’s Penn St or Bama. I do NOT want to play Florida, not to mention that it’s the Orange Bowl. Would be an epic matchup though with tons of hype.

After that last bad pass, or just a friendly head butt to the other team?

Florida?

FG attempt for ND.

38 yarder.

ND missed the FG.

Did not know he was even 2nd string

Does anyone know on what radio station I can listen to game this evening on the Longhorn Radio Network? The Rockets are on the usual radio station 610.

They may lose to Tulane.

 Pitt – with a run to inside the 10. Pitt should be able to make a FG from here. Really, they should

needs to change. Why automatically put teams in FG range in OT? I like the overall premise vs sudden death in NFL, BUT teams should start from midfield or something like that. Force teams to at least get a first down or 2 to get into FG range.

at the five, lining up. I’m all trembly. I can’t breathe. I’m just dying here. The intensity.

A game winning TD was imminent but they fumbled it in the endzone.

iced by timeout.

it’s good. Thank God.

proves that Charlie Weis sucks worse than Wannstache.

And that’s it. I’m going to get beer.

Good luck with Tech.

Florida – neutral
@ Kentucky
@ Auburn
GA. Tech – home
More nice analysis from Danielson

I still believe the north will end with 3 conf losses!

I feel we have the MO-mentum tonight. Miller – Orakapo will be the difference.
