What are ramifications of

Okie Lite vs CU for us, taking into account the upcoming Bedlam?

by horndude on Nov 15, 2008 6:35 PM CST reply actions

I was just scanning TexAgs.

Thanks for all your hard work, Mack. I am so glad I have not had anything close to that feeling for over a decade.

Scanning as Well

Consistent ten win seasons make us forget the other side. I am so thankful Texas is not Notre Dame, Tennessee, A&M, Michigan, Auburn, or countless other programs which have fallen on terrible times.

Thank you Mack.

In case nobody noticed...

Garrett Gilbert decided to have himself a game in Lake Travis’ first playoff game.

Passing: 19-26 for 279 (3 TD)
Rushing: 11 for 98 (4 TD)

Pretty good game.

Interesting read.... Obama gets more specific in his calls for a college football playoff

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/football/ncaa/11/15/ap.fbc.obama.footballpl.ap/index.html

In his MNF interview he mentioned this, but when asked again for a 60 minutes interview he mentions that he wants to “throw his weight around a little bit” and get an 8 team playoff going….

Like him or not, this would be awesome if he keeps this up.

by the1austin on Nov 15, 2008 7:14 PM CST reply actions  

Don't care

Maybe the teams should boycott the BCS until a playoff in instituted.

the real problems, not college football.

1) I’m glad he likes CFB and 2) The Big 10 and Pac 10 won’t do this without some help.

I’m glad he’s on it.

President

Do you really want the president of country to intervene on college football? Really?

by Cyrus on Nov 15, 2008 7:21 PM CST up reply actions  

If that's what it takes?

What do I care how it happens?

by Peter Bean on Nov 15, 2008 7:23 PM CST up reply actions  

It matters

because any CEO that micromanage things, is not doing its job right. If the CEO cares too much about the type of donuts in the lounge, he is not caring enough about his important things.

If President cares too much about how the college football is being played, then he is not caring enough about the economy.

PS1. BCS is awesome, I love it.

PB, my bad for linking to the article

And not making more of an effort to limit political discussion of it. To be honest, that’s why I didn’t Fanpost it, I just wanted to get this out without a headline. I figured with all the pro-playoff talk on here lately, people would simply appreciate the attention these comments bring to the problem.

Anyone have any donuts…?

I don't care who intervenes..

As long as someone brings some sanity to the discussion. College football is the only sport that doesn’t decide its champion on the field. It’s silly.

Sure, they’re undefeated, but I really think an elite offense destroys this team.

any way if this holds it will help us in the BCS?

this was a “quality” win for both ALA and FLA. it will undoubtedly sting in the computer polls, and probably less so in the human polls
