Football Saturday Open Thread

Marshall has a really good chance of beating WVU today with a decent run D and a great QB.

Marshall leads 10-6 on ESPN 2

but I don't want to hear Andre Ware.

Is there anything more disgusting than hearing Toby Keith introduce the OU starters?

I actually just threw up in my mouth

Bradford looks crisp, the running game is working.

OU looking damn good early.

Barf.

Both of Kelley's feet are outside the goal line when ball is swiped out of his hand. Very close. OU gets early break at home.

oh yea and toby keith is a fat bastard.  

Awful snap on the punt and Miami takes over at the OU 5

not impressing me much yet....

Stabbing eyes and ears out...

Two poor, short punts and a very short and poorly covered kickoff. Wind?

boomer sooner every 3 seconds makes me ill.

Another calls goes OU's way.

in the stands?

nebraska doesn't look so hot against a VERY mediocre wake forest team playing without it's starting QB.

3-3 in the second quarter.

looks scary against one-on-one coverage from the corner.

Anyone else wanna see how Tweedle Dee does against Malcolm Kelly?

the wind has to be doing something.  miami's kicks suck and OU's kicker keeps kicking them out of the endzone from the 30.

OU academics? Give me a break.

nebraska gets down to the WF 5 or so and can't punch it in.  kicks another 22-yard FG and leads 6-3.  terrible game.

this game is over if ou scores here

I've never been prouder of the U.

pick up an extra 10 yds on bad facemask call.

Fall on the ball.  

Idiot.

What a mess for Miami.

As gross as this all is, it is, I guess, good for the Big 12.

the only team in the country that can go from mediocrity to best-team-in-the-country overnight?

The rest of us have to struggle for years improving bit by bit until we reach that zenith of college football perfection.  But OU has done this unexpectedly twice in one decade.  

By at least 40 points.

leads nebraska 10-6.  nebraska trying to undo big 12 goodwill the ou is accumulating.

buffalo leads temple 13-0.

So the team Miami crushed last week is playing WVa pretty tough.  

Nebraska is struggling, and the team they crushed last week is beating a big10 team.

Ohio St. is struggling with Akron.

Strange year.  

The OU D-Line isn't looking good at all

Field goals aren't going to do it in Norman.

cannot run the football

Fade on 4th and goal?

Good thing OU cheated.

on the goal line

actually cheering for the U.  Lesser of two evils I guess.

from inside the five and Miami ought be able to punch it in. Go Canes!

please tell Randy Shannon not to run the ball again, ever.  Ever.

Not a bad half for Miami. It could have been a lot worse. Great change to go to Wright and ballsy call on the fake field goal. As long as OU doesn't score in the next min, Shannon will be pleased to just be down 21-10.

just scored a TD.  i didn't know he qualified academically.....although it is west virginia....

since wright came in the game.  ou fumbles, Miami takes over.

nebraska gets a big gain.

Excellent adjustments since the first quarter for Miami. Great understanding of what OU's trying to do with Bradford.

even when he's not being pressured.

this game is going to have a tight finish

just run a trick play with an 18-point lead?  and how the hell was there not 1 miami player within 30 yards of the receiver?  have they never seen a reverse-pass before?

and some idiotic miami WR blocks an OU player in the back after the RB was already past him.

on a hybrid interception/fumble (impossible to tell which, called an interception).

Keller is officially the worst QB I've ever seen....today.  

That was terrible.  Neb is in trouble now.

this college football schizophrenia is making me more confident about tonight's game.  

Nobody is playing the way they did last week.

davydenko just broke federer to start their match.  worth peeking at over the next few hours.

and Lucky doesn't make it

to go.  

on the field though

Ughh.  The sooners are going to have some first place votes this week.

questionable no call.  definitely contact, but was it catchable?

regardless, nebraska has looked terrible most of this game.  WF is not a good team.

Nevada just went up against Northwestern.  Good game, plus Nevada's offense is interesting to watch.

Yikes

the atmosphere is surprisingly upbeat

D. Murray 15 for 64
A. Patrick 7 for 47
S. Bradford 19/25 for 205

What was OU's average starting field position?  The Miami 25?

BTW, if Bradford keeps up this pace, Colt's Freshman TD record is sooooo history.

they did last week

Husky Stadium is LOUD right now.  Who'd have thought.

up 14-0 over Boise St.  

What will the Irish think about this?

the world has gone crazy.

Still 7-0 aTm

if they score here, this could turn into a blow-out

they're up 24-7.

Michigan looks like a lame duck.  That field goal hitting the upright pretty much sums up the Wolverines right now.

on a 4th down run by stewart. gutsy call worked.  they didn't go for another 2-point conversion though. what's the matter belotti?  quot acting like a pansy and go for 2 every time.

on Boise St's kickoff return.  Ouch.

desperately going for it on 4th down.

gets a delay of game that pushes them out of FG range.  everything is going wrong.

they're giving Boise St fits.

is michigan going to learn to defend a running quarterback?

... on the FSU 37, then McGee scramble gets the Aggies into the red zone.

earlier in the game ran a statue of liberty.  so just now they ran a fake statue of liberty and the QB kept the ball.  with every michigan player thinking they were geniuses for blowing up the statue of liberty, dixon waltzed in for another TD.  25-7

throws for yet another TD after a quick 3 and out for michigan.  32-7 oregon.  the ducks have nearly 400 yards of offense in the first half.

a terrible fade to the endzone on 4th down and it's incomplete as the half ends.  fans rightfully boo.

34-28, over Colorado State. Will they drop a notch or two in the rankings? I mean, CSU is no Arkansas State, but they did lose to Colorado for chrissakes.

Does anyone think A&M WON'T beat them?

Bobby Bowden's Seminoles are trailing Brother Brown's UAB 10-0 after just 5 minutes.

Lloyd Carr at the half?  If so, what did he say?

good stuff.  very sad.

posts here under a pseudonym? He's a huge fan, how could any longhorn fan that big resist BON?

goes for 2 and gets it.  tie game.  12 minutes left in the game.

According to ESPN's bottomline, Fresno State just lost 12 points.

stops oregon on 4th and inches and the Defense celebrates like they just won the national championship.

meanwhile, michigan still down 39-7.

why do they ever let him pass?

Anyone else watching PSU-ND?

for penn st.

They intercept Morelli and score a TD, but their offense is woeful. And they've just let PSU tie the game with a punt return for a TD.

I don't wanna miss the beginning of our game.

just got away with a vicious facemask that the officials inexplicably missed considering it was worthy of a personal foul and was on the tackle of the ballcarrier.

cheaters.

they're a great option team.  run that all day long.

C'mon A&M. Finish this off.

1. We don't need you losing to Fresno.

2. We don't want your game getting in the way of the start of ours.

Is McGee their third running back?

A&M had 1 minute to kill and they can't do it

Go for 2.

End this disgusting madness.

Anyone who gets FoxSports NorthWest, the Washington game is over, they've switched to Austin.

Fuck this

Check for Fox Sports Alternate channels. I THINK I just found the game.

to switch over to the Texas gameday thread.  I almost forgot myself.

Did I miss anything good?
