11/20 There’s a good slate of games on today. Michigan State v Ohio State - the headliner game from the Horseshoe. I want the Spartans. That running game, and a capable QB, combined with a stout D. Winner remains in the playoff hunt. OSU must still face Michigan—a team MSU was fortunate to beat. Wake Forest at Clemson - a win gets Wake their first division title in a very long time. I think Wake will take them. QB play takes the day here. U Mass v Army - The caissons are rolling all over Scooby today. U Mass parties regardless. Purdue at Northwestern - from the friendly confines of Wrigley Field. Purdue in a smash em up. Rutgers at Penn State. Well here’s an opponent the Lions can master. Wofford at UNC. FSU at BC - no longer a gimme game for the hapless Noles Mew Mexico State at Kentucky. ISU at OU - Sooners are vulnerable. Harvard at Yale - an old classic. This rivalry goes back to 1875. The Yale Bowl is a great ancient stadium. Harvard looks like the better team this year. UVA at Pitt — Pitt is good, especially QB Pickett. Pitt is gunning for a conference championship. SMU at Cincinnati - big game in the Ohio Valley today. Can the Ponies knock #5 Cincinnati out of playoff contention? Arkansas at Alabama - pigs make it interesting. E Carolina at Navy - a game Navy can win. Minnesota at Indiana - blah Michigan at Maryland - Big Blue stomps the Terps. Michigan remains in playoff contention. Syracuse at NC State Nebraska at Wisconsin - 3-7 Huskers chalk up another L to the Badgers. Florida at Missouri - I don’t even think it would be an upset if the Tigers beat the Florida Gators this year. UF coaching seat is getting hotter and hotter. GT at ND —-Domers prevail. ND is number 8 and still in the playoff picture. Illinois at Iowa - Bielema has another rough day. Baylor at KSU - Bears may face a tougher test here than expected. UCLA at USC —. Love this city matchup. The Bruins look better this year. AU at So Carolina - AU is pissed off and ready to play. Va Tech at Miami - two 5-5 teams, one with a coach. #3 Oregon v #23 Utah - Ducks speed wins the day. Vanderbilt at #12 Ole Miss - Lane lights up the scoreboard. #9 Okla State at Texas Tech - watch out. Weird things happen at Jones Stadium in the cold. Plus OSU plays up or down to the level of their opponents. Could be a tight one tonight up on the Plains. Ariz State at Oregon State - ASU in a good game.
Well, I guess I have to confess to being a fair-weather fan for my alma mater. USAFA played Nevada last night. I stayed up to watch it - until Nevada tied it up late in the game. When it went to overtime, I looked at Jordan sitting next to me on the couch and said "USAFA will have to win this one without us - it's bedtime." Jordan made his usual comment - "Meow" - and off to bed we went. I learned this morning that USAFA won 41-39 in the 3rd overtime period.
Okla State v Tech - it will only be in the 50s F, so it will be cool but not too cold. Winds 10 mph with possible gusts higher. As we know, that’s a dangerous place to play on the road this time of year, and Tech has long been a “Giant Killer” upset artist at home. I see danger all over this matchup for the Pokes.
Epic butt whoopin in Columbus. 42-0 Bucks. Ohio State is still in the thick of the playoff race. But arch-rival Michigan lurks. And if they win that, then there’s Iowa (or someone pretty good) for the B1G championship game.
Make it 49-0 Ohio State. The Bucks WRs are wide open, and they’re not dropping the catches. 500+ yards of first half offense for Ohio State.
Couldnt help but notice Caleb Williams stats with the final minutes winding down... 8/18 for 87 yards 1 TDs and 1 INT Different ou team right now
Pitt's best defensive player (middle LB) thrown out of the game for targeting early in the first quarter (versus Virginia)
I was shocked that SMU went down in flames. I figured it would be a close shootout. I dunno if Dykes is losing some of his luster after this. He was the
Watching Ala-Hogs will make you realize how bad we are. There are not many of our players that could play for either team. How could our evaluation of players be so off? We need to recruit quality players who want to play for Texas.
Several games today that defied the metrics...dog bettors would have made a killing at the counter today. This week effectively ended any chance I had of being top 3 in the ESPN Fans of Hornfans.
Well…. It’s a full moon and last night was a lunar eclipse. Flakes might ascribe some significance to that and the weird and unusual events occurring. I’d say there’s more parity in the sport than I sometimes think there is.
While Marshall is the hogs real star LB, Bumper Pool has been very good as well. He was not that highly rated or heavily recruited coming out of a Texas high school. He was a 3 star recruit out of Allen Lovejoy HS who ran a 5.01 40 yard dash. That’s one fast 5.01 40 running dude! Like you said, evaluation is important. So is development and scheme.
Cam Rising playing on prime time ABC leading Utah to a potential Pac12 South title if they can beat #3 Oregon. Silly guy he could have stayed on the 40 acres and gone to Morgantown today for the fun. Up 14-0 in the 2nd qtr. Even more crazy that JQJ went to Utah too. These guys are missing all the fun.
Nurses that I've dated swear that full moons pack the ERs. And I'm definitely a believer in energies. But as it applies to CFB, Vegas probably exerts the most influence of them all.
I just popped on here to point this very thing out, LHAB. And what would have become of him here is the question??
I know this is the norm in the day of the portal but it’s hard to see given the current state of our program.
