General College Football Thread - 2012

I'm going to the Bowling Green at Toledo game tomorrow evening.

I'll miss the Notre Dame and Michigan State game though....but I'm recording it and will watch it when I get back from the game.

It's a huge local rivalry....they play for the rights to 'The Peace Pipe' and the game is called 'The Battle for I-75' as the two teams are located about 25 miles apart on I-75.

Almost every year, it's the last Mac game of the season for both teams, but this season they are playing it early, which will be odd.

BG has a good team this year, but I give a slight advantage to my Rockets, playing at home.

Toledo is favored by -3.5 points.

Toledo 41

Bowling Green 35

Buffs playing three freshmen in the secondary. It's going to be a tough year.

Good.

The sun comes up, a fatty is on KU's sideline. Things we can count on.

I'm loving Louisville getting a bit of hype. I don't necessarily understand how the UNC game is a difference maker for them as some are saying but as long as I keep getting them on my TV, I'll be a happy fella. I hate how college coaches just jump from program to program. There's no way they can keep Strong around for long if he keeps producing. His connections on the recruiting trail and his success on the field means someone will come calling soon enough. Success is a double edged sword in college football for non-powerhouse schools.

Ohio St not really dominating like they should against this Cal team... Urban

But that long Miller run was a thing of beauty. Just saw the highlights. He juked that first guy by 10 yards.

Wowza, that run by Bigelow for Cal was insane.

[SouthStndJunkie]

Sweet 81 yard TD run for Cal RB Brendan Bigelow against Ohio State.

[That One Guy]

TCU keeps driving the field then turning it over at the goalline. The first one was a fumble through the endzone. That's gotta be one of my favorite rules in all of football. Hopefully KU can come back still.

Much like the vagueness of a rep bomb, I wish there were a way to define what exactly constitutes a penalty when it comes to defenseless receivers. They just had a play that didn't even have major contact and was called.

[Lycan]

Bigelow again, 50+ yarder this time. Ohio State just can't stop him.

28-28 right now with 8:10 left to go.

I don't think Bo is doing to well.

[That One Guy]

I just flipped on the Cal game. I didn't know they had come back. I don't like anything West Coast but I don't like Ohio State either. Go Cal!

Cal is fighting hard to upset OSU it's a very good game

When ya can't kick FGs, ya can't win.

nice comeback by oh st........good they did because I assume Urban would have faked family or health issues and quit afterwards if they had lost

I never really paid too much attention to that but it sure seems to have ruffled some feathers.

Heard he called in to the press conference to say he's fine, running some precautionary tests, plans to be back in the office tomorrow. Osborne said as much as well. Hope it is just an illness, not something more serious.

God forbid he has to retire to "focus on health and family" and then return a year later as soon as a good job offer appears.

Interesting call in the Louisville game. Guy caught a pass but bobbled it for like 15 yards until he was hit and it popped back out. They called it a completion though it was clear the ball never stopped moving. Review confirmed it.

I'd have to think it'd go otherwise in the NFL.

Oh, and if you haven't tuned into this game yet, don't bother. You've already missed all the competitive portions. It's about to get blown out.

Michigan is smoking UMass 21-3 early in the 2nd quarter....as they should be.

[SouthStndJunkie]

As soon as I post that, Denard Robinson throws a pick six.

He is electric running the ball, but dude makes Tim Tebow look like a pinpoint passer.

[swaiy]

I wish Arkansas had their QB. Im pretty sure Bama would roll them regardless but I would just like someone to give them a real test. They are looking like they are going to repeat.

[SouthStndJunkie]

Pitt upset #13 Va Tech today 35-17.

He's definitely gone after this year, right?

Michigan can never return to the championship conversation as long as he's taking the snaps.

[SouthStndJunkie]

Denard is a senior, so this is his last year at Michigan.

He is an electric athlete, but doesn't fit what Michigan wants to do on offense.
