Title: College Football.
Post by: tauruck on September 21, 2013, 01:02:51 PM
I'm a big football fan. I watch a lot of games. I've had two caps for about 20 years and my guess is that they're the only ones in South Africa. Guess what I'm watching right now?.  :-D :-D :-D :cheers:
 This is weird but maybe not to you guys.

It wouldn't be an autumn Saturday afternoon if there wasn't a college football game on the radio.

I've been an Iowa Hawkeye fan for years.

Probably the only Hayden Fry Bobblehead in Milwaukee . . .

Minnesota is on now. Shortly I will be watching South Dakota State against Nebraska. Good chance of an upset there.  :cheers: Go Jackrabbits!

Just turned to the hawkeyes for Chris!

Good on ya, Trent.  :cheers:

There's only room for one BIG RED in the Big Ten, and that's Wisconsin.

I'll pull for ANY team going up against the Huskers.  And I just looked it up - the Rabbits are pretty solid this year.

Brett Dillon down at KHYI-FM in Dallas is a big Huskers fan - nothing would give me more pleasure than ringing his bell on such an upset!

And now, one of life's imponderables -

How can the NCAA expect to credibly enforce an academic ineligibility rule if the Big Ten has twelve teams?  :?

Trent -

Ouch  . . .

But be encouraged - the Jackrabbits played better against Nebraska than Western Michigan played against the Hawkeyes.

Go Jackrabbits - Go Hawks!  :cheers:

I remember in 1984 when Iowa played Ohio State.  Hayden Fry took his team on a pre-game tour of "The Shoe".  He stopped at the 50 yard line and asked for a moment of silence of his team for all of the teams that had been buried there.

Iowa won 18 to 10.

It doesn't happen often.  Ohio State has a track record that Roger Penske wishes he could own.

Absolute respect for the Buckeyes.

But Fry was one helluva coach.

This reminds me that it is time to watch our local team, Portland State U.  The team is so-so.  The cheerleaders are a lot better.

I had to go to a wedding so I recorded the second half. This is two meetings with NE that SDSU has started out strong. Strong enough to impress/scare the Husker fans. This school has only been D1 for a few short years so the program is coming on strong. We lack the experience playing in these huge stadiums with the noise and hype. The stadium they play on is smaller than most large high schools! They will get there but it will take time. Meanwhile that half a million bucks will go a long ways for the athletic department! :cheers:

Did I open a can of worms again?. Gregg, thanks for the offer and I'm sorry Pete. MM, that bobble head is cool and guess what?. I never got to see who won. Fell asleep again. The project is eating me alive. So who did win?. Must have been NC because the GA defence looked a bit  weak.

Not College but I just watched the Bears beat Green Bay. I'm a Cheese head of sorts (long time Favre fan) but I like the underdog too. Backup QB had the game of his life and the coach made a big statement.
    What's up with Miami. Are they eating their young down there?. :-D

Been a crazy year both Pro and college.

I got the double whammy this weekend.

I took my brother-in-law to Iowa City, only to sit next to him in his Wisconsin Badgers shirt in a sea of Black and Gold, and then spent 5 hours on the way back home listening how crummy the Hawkeyes are.

Still suffering, the Bears (who I'm convinced had to have cheated) somehow take Aaron Rogers out, and win at Lambeau.  And who calls today, from south of the Cheddar Curtain?  Fordboy, of course, reminding me that the Bears, the Lions and the Packers are now all tied for 1st in the NFC North.

And of course, the rumors are starting to get ugly -

I'm expecting to see a horseman on a pale steed come galloping by - probably wearing a Boston Red Sox jersey . . .

 :-D :-D :-D That must have been fun. 5 hours?, I couldn't handle 5 minutes.
   Nothing wrong with a Red Sox jersey though. I'm happy  :cheers:
QBs are the key and with Aaron out they struggled. It's early days, don't fret. :cheers:
BTW, I saw some footage on JJ Watt a few weeks ago. Awesome. I've never seen a guy that big move so fast. He can tackle three guys a second. :-)

Chris, after your remarks about my true love, Nebraska football, I truly hope you are blessed with the presence of Tim Tebow! :evil:

Q: How many Packers fans does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None they are happy living in Chicago's shadow!

Q: What's the difference between the Green Bay Packers and a dollar bill?
A: You can still get four quarters out of a dollar bill.


Yea, I'll buy the first round-it was worth it! :-D

Well, yeah, I dealt some trash talk earlier - I'll own it - but I'm not so much anti Cornhuskers as I am a traditionalist.

Back when the Big Eight had eight teams and the Big Ten had ten, you'd see me pulling for Nebraska in the Orange Bowl and cheering a Sooner smackdown - because we all know that the Sooners are a criminal organization.

But now that the Big Twelve has ten teams, and the Big Ten is expanding to fourteen, (Maryland?  Rutgers? They should be playing against Yale and Navy!) I'm finding the scheduling baffling and incomprehensible.

If you can't distinguish a dozen from ten, or overshoot ten by a count of four, what does that say for the veneer of academic plausibility in college athletics?    

As to the Packers - well, we can always still pick on the Vikings.

What do the Vikings and a stolen car have in common?  NO TITLE!

So on the 29th, the Hawks take that long bus ride to Lincoln.  If they play as poorly as they did against the OTHER Big Red, I expect I'll be hearing about it . . .

I agree Auburn called out the home run if you will.

LOTS of good games last weekend :cheers:

I'm happy because I did not watch that game.  :evil:

Not involving KU if there is a good game, well fought without knowing who will win until the last shot, I will be happy watching the game!  :cheers:

Any way it turns out... GO KU!
