The Real Top 25

Just my opinion of a REAL top 25, complete without South Carolina, Wisconsin and Clemson. I was just sick of seeing all the crummy preseason top 25's with Va Tech in the top 10 (lol), USC at #4, etc. So below I am putting out there a real (maybe biased as well) top 25 that is how college football should look right now: 1) Florida 2) Texas 3) Bama 4) Cinci 5) Boise State 6) TCU 7) Iowa 8) Oregon 9) Georgia Tech 10) Penn State 11) Pitt 12) Houston 13) USC 14) LSU 15) Utah 16) Miami 17) Notre Dame 18) Ohio State 19) Cal 20) Oklahoma 21) Central Mich 22) Oklahoma State 23) Arizona 24) BYU 25) WVU Crazy? Yes. But this is prolly what it will look like at the end of the season for each team. At least IMO

We added to the Longhorn family

I just thought it would be awesome to tell people, especially Longhorn fans like myself. We bought a new puppy, miniature schnauzer and we decided to let my 5 year old daughter name him. Without skipping a beat, she promptly said, "his name is Jordan, like Jordan Shipley, my favorite player." After her birth, this was the proudest day of my life...

Tickets to Pasadena?

I'd really like to attend the national championship cause I hate the fact I missed it last time. For those of you that went to the rose bowl in 06...did you buy your tickets early? Can I buy them now or is it best to wait?

Mizzou QB Gabbert Injured?

After staying up last night to watch the OSU - Mizzou game, I believe I had heard that Mizzou QB Blaine Gabbert had gotten a sprained ankle during this game. I s this true or am I imagining this? This is huge for this upcoming week and cant believe no one else is talking about this. Anyone else know if this will affect his play or status for this week? Feel free to discuss/correct me. Hook em!

Will Muschamp and the Wildcat

Wow, I cant believe no one else noticed this. When ULM went with the Wildcat for that one drive before half, they gained about 50-60 yards on 8-10 plays without even throwing the ball. When number 3 lined up at QB the whole game, I was yelling "RUN! Its a RUN!" Our D got embarrassed by that formation. I look down at the field and I see Muschamp only putting 3-4 in the box. I thought for sure he would blitz the linebackers, or put the secondary in zone coverage with some corner blitzes, but no. Muschamp looked perplexed. They gained 5-6 yards a carry in that formation. I was shocked that we didnt put at least 8 in the box or go with a 4-4 with someone spying #3. The only reason they didnt score on that drive was a holding penalty and a false start flag. I hope OU or OSU wasnt watching this game, or else we are done for. Did anyone else notice this?????
