YB, or maybe re: Adelman get HIS guys to lay off the pot?

A great line from Jackie Brown where Bridget Fonda and DeNiro are smoking pot and Samuel Jackson declines because it 'kills your ambition'. Bridget responds: "NOT IF YOUR AMBITION IS TO GET HIGH AND WATCH TV!!!"

BERKLEY,

I can't imagine such an animal as a liberal, tree hugger, 4.0(not their speed in the forty) tough guy, but I guess Cal invented this animal in one of their labs.

I mean come on, Cal 46 Michigan State 22 and Cal now 3-0.

No respect for Cal. nerds...

This weekend in College Football...

1. Apparently, Spurrier recruited some talent after all...To go into Knoxville and dominate like that-- the Vols have had some fine recruiting years themselves, if I recall correctly...I think that without Spurrier to deflect attention, the Gators allowed themselves to get psyched-out by the 'Canes in Gainesville...

2. Asking USC to go on the road in the Big 12 and win two games against top 20 opponents in consecutive weeks, is simply asking too much...

3. UCLA?-- what was up with that?...Did the Bruins realize that the Buffs only gained 61 yards the previous week?...Embarassing...

4. Michigan 10, Utah 7-- in Ann Arbor...Another bit of evidence that outside of the top 4 or 5 teams in the country, the competitive playing field is gradually being leveled...This is not necessarily one of McBride's better teams at Utah...

YoungBrig

It looks to me like Miami is the real deal.

Miami took care of business against Florida a couple of weeks ago and many felt Florida just wasn't that good. Florida looked pretty damn good to Tennessee fans this week.

Texas and Oklahoma have allot to prove(play against a good team) to see if they are capable of playing against Miami.

First real test and perhaps the only real test for Oklahoma this year will be Texas in the middle of October. The Big 12 just doesn't look that tough this year.

Oklahoma may have a tough time qualifying for the number one bowel game even if they go undefeated.

Tenn. vs Mia this weekend could be interesting....incredible as it may seem, many observers felt the Vols were looking ahead to the big game with Miami and overlooked the Spurrierless Gators.....

p.s. Given the opportunity I would live in South America in a heartbeat...one of the few things I would miss would be futbol Americano....especially the NCAA variety....

Whatever would I do on Saturday afternoons without a game or two to watch...smile...

At the half: Florida State 17, Miami 14...

I would really love to see the Canes get beat...Florida State has the talent and "moxy" to do it-- they have the talent to beat anyone, I would argue-- but these things go in cycles and right now the pendulum is swinging Miami's way...We'll see...

YoungBrig

Re: The Red River Shootout...

Ben, I'm thinking that a sea of burnt orange is going to collapse the OU mystique today...Simms vs. Hyble tips to Simms, I think...

Texas 23, OU 12...

YoungBrig

Wide LEFT! Obviously overcompensating for past demons!

Porker:

I really feel that Bowden should have tried to throw once they got down to the 25 with about 30 seconds to play...An incomplete stops the clock, and with a catch they could have run-up to the line and spiked-it...

42 yards is a long, tough kick for a college kid in a situation like that...History-- as you noted-- isnt exactly on Florida St.'s side in these situations...

That said, give the Miami offense credit for digging out this game when they looked like goners down 27-14 with 10 minutes to play...Dorsey and Co. stepped-it-up when they had to...

YoungBrig

I didn't care either way (FSU or Miami) because I was rooting for an exciting game and got it. However, I place the FSU loss ENTIRELY on the coaching staff. Like Youngbrig said, FSU needed to get the ball closer in the waning moments for a shorter field goal.

But also, WHY did FSU not go for the two-point conversion at 26-14 with under ten minutes to go? That's a no-brainer.

An FSU deserved to lose after those decisions kind of guy,

Out-of-Towner

Overcompensating is right. FSU looked like they were going out of their way to set that kick up from the right hashmark. Too funny.

Young Brig,

I think you are wrong on your assessment of the OU Texas game. DEFENSE!!! RUNNING BACK

Don't send my boy to Texas a dying mothet said.
Don't send my boy to Texas I'd reather see him dead.

Ben:

Congrats on a convincing victory...

OU outrushed Texas 266-53, and completely shut-down the vaunted Texas attack...OU collapsed the pocket on Simms the entire day, and unlike Major Applewhite-- who could make plays on his own-- Simms was overwhelmed...

If Fla St. makes their kick, OU is ranked #1...

I pretty much nailed down the Longhorns' points, tho-- just didnt figure on the Sooners tallying 35!!...

Enjoy...

YoungBrig

The wheels have come off in Gainesville:

Late in the 4th Quarter: LSU 36, Florida 7...

And no, they are not playing in Death Valley...

Zook appears intent on proving his point about Spurrier leaving him with a dearth of depth and talent...But no way should LSU come into Gainesville and win by 30 points...Embarrassing...

YoungBrig

Embarassing doesn't BEGIN to describe it!

I can't remember a game that bad (for FL) in a LONG time. And I'm an alumni!

Of course, the bright spot of my day was the FSU game... ;)

Thanks YB for your comments about OU.

I still think it is Miami and then all the rest.

I went to a sports bar where about 50 OU fans and maybe 10 Texas fans showed up. Allot of fun and good kidding by both sides.

Of course both sides were rooting for FSU to make that field goal. I felt sorry for the FSU kicker and also for Texas QB Chris Simms. Its amazing how benevolent you get when your team wins

the kicker? i heard the holder screwed up the whole thing and the snap was less than perfect as well. embarassed to say i didn't see it, but that is another puta unrelated story.

Bonvvt,

If FSU had won it would make us (UF) look better if we beat them later this year (which looks totally impossible). I was actually rooting FOR them for a change. I agree with Ootie about the two point conversion. I actually called a buddy during the game to complain about them not going for two.

I still have NO IDEA why they didn't go for two other than maybe Bobby B's braincells are finally gone for good.

The coaching staff got slammed by all the national television sports press.

I'm still hoping we can beat them. You know how it is, sometimes we only get up for one game a year...

Bonvvnt, Tenn. may have been FU's one time to get it up this year....Auburn, UGA, even South Carolina, are waiting for you before you ever get to FSU....Membership in the War Eagles for Zook and Dawgs for Zook fan clubs are soaring....

He keeps his job if he beats UGA, in my mind.

Zook will get at least one more year...They will stomach a 7-5 this year; but another 7-5 will send him packing...

Florida will get it turned around...The Gators DID beat Tennessee in Knoxville, so...

What happened to the War Eagle last week vs. Arkansas, by the way?...Arkansas rolling up 466 yards in Auburn?...

YoungBrig

MitchC, Agreed. The FU/UGA rivalry is intense and of longstanding....Spurrier never beat the Dawgs as a player and GA still has a wide lead in the overall series, despite Spurrier's success against GA during his tenure as a coach.....Nothing would please Gator faithful more than the opportunity to spoil the Dawgs BCS chances....Personally, I think Zook and company will be dawg food in Jacksonville...woof, woof....

YoungBrig....Arkansas has played well since rolling over for Bama....they should have beaten Tenn. in one of the multiple overtimes....and clearly outplayed Auburn

Hey,

Lets talk about Oklahoma.

Next three weeks they play: Iowa State 6-1(the real deal, with a fantastic QB/runner), Colorado 4-2(an enigma) depends on which team shows up and Texas A&M 4-2. If they win those three games they will probably win their last three, except Oklahoma State seems to have this bad habit of upsets over OU.

Oklahoma seems to be improving on offense.

Still it is Miami and all the rest.

Damn Hurricanes

What college football team has the best chance of going undefeated this year?

Ben, uh, are we supposed to say OU?

No team has looked dominant thus far. I agree with your comments about Miami and all the rest, but not even MIA has looks unbeatable....

Miami, OU, Ohio State have the best chance imho.Schedule ruins VCU's chance.

ND if the Irish survive Air Force.

Georgia if the Dawgs start clicking on offense.

How about Bowling Green?

How could I have overlooked Bowling Green? I was probably thinking more about my upcoming trip to Buenos Aires and less about college football.....how careless of me....

Everybody probably overlooks Bowling Green, even if they are just thinking about going to the grocery store.

I met some guys from Bowling Green at L'uomo a couple of months ago.

Donde esta L'uomo?

Ben, I don't have a clue where L'uomo is...but I have a sneaking suspicion it's a more interesting place than Bowling Green...smile...

L'uomo is in Rio de Janeiro.

Fearless Forecast....OCT. 19

Bowling Green continues its quest for the MNC by rolling over Western Michigan........

In minor league games.....

OU cruises over Iowa State...but not due to Hybel.

'Bama over Ole Miss. Eli Manning sacked 8 times.

Notre Dame over Air Force. The Irish discover an offense.

Florida over Auburn. "Cadillac" looks more like a 73 Dodge Dart.....(Oh, how I hope I am wrong. I hate Gayturds)

Michigan over Purde

Georgia thrashes Vandy...A star is born...DJ Shokley.....

Even if I don't call a single game correctly....I will still beat my record in the stock market over the past 2 years....

Some kicker for UTEP just kicked a 59 yard FG to win a game. Think his team needs to get him a margarita or two tonight?

Porker:

One thing I will say about UTEP: I was at their game against SJSU a couple of weeks back and they have 3 REALLY cute Mexicana cheerleaders...18, tiny, and perfect...

YoungBrig

Ezy:

7-0 straight-up...Nicely done...How did you do ATS?...

Bowling Green struggled, but ya gotta love those tough, competitive MAC match-ups...

YoungBrig

WOW,

Sooners Upend Cyclones
Oklahoma delivered a brutal blow of reality to Iowa State. Quentin Griffin and Kejuan Jones each ran for two touchdown and No. 2 Oklahoma dealt a setback to Seneca Wallace's Heisman Trophy hopes in beating the ninth-ranked Cyclones 49-3 Saturday.

Ben:

Unquestionably a dominant performance by the Sooners...Coupled of course with the obvious fact that ISU was not quite ready for prime time...

Stoops has now officially achieved Godhood status from every college football commentator across the country, be he Beano Cook or Kirk Herbstreit or Lee Corso or whoever...Ben, this can only be a bad thing (think: Rick Neuhiesal)...

Anyway, I would just like to report a score from this past weekend that everyone else has missed, apparently:

Oklahoma State 24, Nebraska 21...

Ben, what was that OU-OSU score last year?...

YoungBrig

YB,

I remember the game, but don't remember the score.

Many of these players from both schools have been playing together and against each other since Pop Warner.

That game is always a wildcard game.

benwhoappreciatesyoungbrigrainingonhisparade

Aw, hell. Okies all over the friggin place.

Colorado is the only team that matters in that part of the world, considering that it is a REAL university... Rick Neu-heister should be flattened to death by a steamroller, btw.

Who really cares about all those cornfuckers and their trips to Waffle House or wherever? Or those damn dustbowl Okies? Cripes, if yer gonna talk college football, fine. But can't we stick to the civilized world?

I'm not bitter

Dogster
Dogster who

Dogster:

Colorado appears to have steadied themselves, but goodGod: 61 yards total offense *at home* against USC?...They may not ever live that down...

Actually, I still think that Neuhiesal can coach, but the wheels appear to be coming off in Seattle...

YoungBrig

Dogster,

Everyone(who has a clue) knows there is no corollary between "the civilized world" and college football. That would be like saying college football has something to do with a college education. Geeezzzz!!!

Besides Oklahoma football is the only major league professional sports team in the state. We have to have something to be proud of besides Will Rogers.

By the way, how many states would have the balls to name their largest airport after someone who was killed in a plane crash?

benwhosefeelingshavebeencrushed

YoungBrig,

"I still think that Neuhiesal can coach"

YB, I want you on the jury if I am ever charged with murder.

Neuhiesal killed the program ay Colorado and is now committing manslaughter at Washington.

"By the way, how many states would have the balls to name their largest airport after someone who was killed in a plane crash?"

"YB, I want you on the jury if I am ever charged with murder."

OK, Ben, Mea Culpa. I take it all back, thanks to your wicked sense of humor. Can I still make jokes about the Nebraska Cornfuckers????

YB -- Neuheisel is stalking me. He followed me to Colorado, then Seattle. So his next stop is gonna be San Diego. Or perhaps the Tijuana's Zona Norte. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Dogster,

Yall hep yourself with Nebraska bug eaters. Sonbitches

benregressingtoOkieaccent

Now that there's seperate thread for professional football should all of the Oklahoma posts be moved?

BonVvntWhoMissesWhenThereWere3Top5TeamsinFlorida..

Oklahoma has had very few problems with the NCAA over the years. They had a period of bringing in allot of thugs during Switzers last few years, but most of those types seem to have migrated north to Colorado and Nebraska.

I wouldn't feel to sorry for the state of Florida. I would bet that in the last five years Florida colleges produced more professional football players than any other state. I think this is just an off year for FSU and UoF or is that FU.
