I disagree. I believe Oregon should be the top team as they played just as many difficult teams to get there, and LSU had one shot already.

As for Notre Lame and their "bounce back"...:rolleyes: Weis claims he does not understand why the kids don't "get it". Perhaps his teaching methods/skills are not what he proposed to the University, or what they envisioned?? Either way are you ND fans still blaming your woes on Willingham?:D

GO LIONS!

MICHIGAN WEEK! ! ! !
 

GO BUCKEYES!!!

IT IS ON NOW BABY!
 

How come Ohio State football players won’t drive a Japanese car?
They don’t think they’ll understand what’s said on the radio.

How do you get a former Ohio State football player off your porch?
Pay him for the pizza.

Coaches Jim Tressel and Lloyd Carr are walking down the beach talking about the rivalry between Ohio State and Michigan. As they are walking, Lloyd trips over something in the sand. Upon closer inspection it turns out to be a genie’s lamp. “Who disturbs me?” asked the genie. Jim and Lloyd both say they did. “You will each get one wish,” said the genie. Jim offers to go first. “I want an impenetrable wall built around the entire state of Ohio so that none of those stupid Michiganders can ever get in. I want it as far down into the ground as it is high and I want it to be completely sealed in so that we can finally have our peace!” The genie grants the wish to Jim and his is instantly whisked away to his new paradise. The genie now tells Lloyd he’ll grant him one wish. Lloyd says, “Fill it with water.” :D

What do you get if you see an Ohio State fan buried up to his neck in sand?
More sand.

What do you say to an Ohio State football player dressed in a three piece suit?
Will the defendant please rise.

HELL YEA, STILL BELIEVE
GO BLUE

The Ducks just qualified for the toilet bowl last night in Arizona.

Just another day ...
 

Just another day of what has become of the wacky 2007 college football season.

Dont look, but here come the Jayhawks. :eek:

hell, Wyoming would be lucky to make that one...

Still believe?

Buckeyes are now 6-1 vs Michigam the last 7 years. It is not a rivalry anymore, but domination.

Bowl Prediction
 

Mizzou takes KU by 17, in the Big X11 championship game they take OU by 10 and play LSU for the Championship. Interesting note, both Mizzou and KU quartebacks are Texas boys who UT and A and M thought were too short.
OOPS, I meant WVU

LSU
 

LSU beat Ole Miss big time, they played everybody but the water boy. I would love to see LSU play MIssouri for #1. That would be one hell of a game. Maybe it will happen.



clapdoc sends.

Hmmmmm.....

We'll see. As a Jayhawk myself, I confess following the football team is something new for me. I wish the Tigers well. May the best team win! Either way the Big 12 is loaded this year. It bodes well for the future of the league.

Three Soldier Dad....Rock Chalk Jayhawk...Chuck

Domination, until ...
 

Domination, until next year.

I have to admit that hands down, Ohio St. was the better team this year. I really thought the weather was going to be an advantage for Michigan. The weather helped shut down Ohio's passing offense and Michigan's passing game did not show up to play. Mario Manningham selected the worst day to have a very bad game. So both teams were forced to play old school Big Ten football.

You can not ask much more of the M defense. But their offense was pathetic compounded by the fact that their play calling was horrendous. Ohio’s DE #50 dominated the line of scrimmage and Michigan’s offensive coordinator fail to see that, maybe he still hasn’t seen it. No shotgun formations, no roll outs, no draws, no screens, no moving of the pocket. They didn’t even help their Tackles with a TE or the FB and that is = to 3 sacks for DE #50. If you cant pass the football, is easy to stack up 8 in the line of scrimmage which in turn is = to Mike Hart 18 Rush, 44 yds . In summary, pathetic.

L. Carr did the right thing stepping aside now. We are waiting for you Les Miles. But for now, hopefully the Alamo Bowl will invite a clearly average team.

LOOKING FORWARD TO THE 08 SEASON:lifter
GO BLUE

Hey, last but not least, to everyone here -including you JMI-, and specially every single one of the QP’s and others in harms way that are out there so we can have and enjoy our football season, happy Thanksgiving.

For the college football enthusiast:

Today on ESPN the first meeting between two 1-AA schools, in the playoffs no less, in the State of Delaware will occur. The University of Delaware and Delaware State square off at 1300 hrs.
Historically significant as both school administrations have fought this meeting for years. UD is the richer of the schools in both football tradition and tuition. DSU, long considered the also-ran of the state, has a smaller student body and less successful program. Why this post? UD has a traditionally white student body-DSU was created as an alternative in the state for black students turned away by UD. Niether school administration has ever given a reason why this game cannot be played each year causing the inevitable rumblings of prejudice and envy. The state populace has argued for this game for years and I hope it is everything it can be, and will allow this small state to have an honest to god rivalry that other states enjoy each football season!

Good looking out GP. I look forward to watching this game. 1:30 PM EST.
Deleware State is 10-1, Delaware is 8-3. Thanks for the background on the two teams.

If WVU loses to CONN then Ohio State has a chance to get back to the title game! LSU lost a good game to ARK, and with Missouri playing Kansas, the only real block to us moving into the #2 spot is WVU.

GO HUSKIES! (hey, this season anything is possible!)

Everyone talks about the New England Patriots being dominant, but here is a college team playing for there 10th National Championship since 1993 (Champs in '93, '96, '97, '98, '00, '01, '02, '05, '06.)

This IS dominant!

They won their first playoff game last Saturday against ITHACA (NY) 42-18, and they play the College of New Jersey tomorrow. Yeah, they're only Div-III but they are as dominant a team as anyone has ever seen. No scholarships either!

UCONN has never won against WVU, and with the game being in Morgantown, it isn't going to happen this year either.

Let's Go Mountaineers!


On another note, Virginia Tech plays UVA in the first game in my memory between the two that has any signficance. Go Hokies!

KU vs. MU
 

It's a great day to be a Kansas Jayhawk or a Mizzou Tiger. LSU losing last night makes tonight's game truly a game of the year...

#2 vs. #3 and the winner to go to #1 and get a probable shot at the National Championship on January 7th. Wow!

We KU people are still rubbing our eyes. As a basketball school, this is simply surreal. KU didn't even break into the top 25 this year until their 5th game. Santa has come early in Lawrence.

Rock Chalk Jayhawk...


Three Soldier Dad...Chuck

Mizzou and KU
 

There is a storm coming. We both have a lot to be proud of. Great players and quality people. Good luck

Well,

It is indeed a strage season...

For the Conference championship, OU and Mizzou...next Saturday.

This should be a great game!:lifter

BOOMER SOONER!

Holly

Ducks ZERO, UCLA, buncha points.

How to you keep a football away from the Ducks?
Throw it to them.

Big XII Championship Game
 

This will be interesting. For years, the Big XII and the predecessor the Big VIII have a deserved reputation for protecting their top ranked teams for monetary and prestige reasons. Remember the MU/Colo game where the Buffaloes were given 5 downs to score?. This time, there is no reason to protect the Sooners because it is in the conference's interest to have the Tigers win, since there is no way the Sooners can play for the national championship. I am not saying the Sooners have not had great teams, but they have had help from officials at times to prevent upsets from lesser teams, as have some other teams in the conterence. We'll see if the system holds true Sat. Make no mistake, neither MU or KU are one year wonders. KU may have the best coach in the country, also the most rotund. Both schools now have facilities to compete with anyone. And both schools promise players parents their son WILL receive an education. My hat is off to the Jayhawks

MIZZOU RAH, MIZZOU RAH, MIZZOU RAH-- TIGERS!!!!

Mark Mangino Picks a Winner
 

He's a great coach, but he won't be coaching much longer if he doesn't lose a pound or two.

Why does Kansas have such a good +/- tunover ratio? Because Mangino has his own gravitational pull and it sucks the ball out of the opposing team's hands.

Mr. Harsey, ;)

I can remember seasons that I felt the exact same way.

Holly

I believe that Oklahoma will destroy Missouri.

Meanwhile, USC will win the PAC-10 and play in the Rose Bowl if it beats UCLA on Saturday. Can't win every game every year, and it will have been an OK season if we win next weekend.

Didn't watch the first game did you? It will be a very good football game.

I don't think so. Neither Missouri nor West Virginia played ANYONE worth a damn this year. Ohio State is the best of the 1 loss teams IMO, and their schedule wasn't so hot either.

Schedule
 

A lot tougher schedule than the Big 10 and we beat Illinois, which Ohio State couldn't do.

I am a HUGE OU fan for that game. If they can beat Mizzou, that could help Ohio State climb up to the #2 spot.

GO SOONERS!

RL...How is that new car drivin? You Rock!;)

okay, and, BOOMER SOONER!

Holly

Well, it is slow walking and sad singing for LSU. Arkansas just played a little harder on the last play.

We all need to pull for Oklahoma to beat Mo. I have been hunting the past couple of weeks and have been out of touch, has Oregon played anyone and if they did, who won. I am becoming a big fan of the Ducks and hope they are in the final mix.

Ole Miss got beat in the last 10 minutes by Mississippi State and Ole Miss fired their coach of 3 years on Saturday morning. This is the 2nd time in 3 years they have done something like this.

Ms State gets to go bowling and that will be a lot of fun.



clapdoc sends.

The bowl game I'd like to see is USC-LSU.

USC and LSU would be a good one.

You cant make up for the 2004 co-champions season by playing this game in 2008 :D

UT vs. LSU- SEC Championship
 

So what are your thoughts on the UT/LSU game? Think the Big Orange will show up and actually play the full 60 minutes? Think LSU is pissed and ready to kill people? Or are they down and out now and don't have their heads straight? With Kentucky beating LSU early in the year and now their loss to Arkansas......UT beat both Kentucky and Arkansas. I'm picking the Vols as the 2007 SEC Champions!!!

I think LSU will show up at the SEC champ game with blood in their eye. Those cajuns don't know how to quit. Tennessee is a good team, great game Saturday against Kentucky.
I think it will be a great game and I plan on watching.

Just so I don't have to listen to Rocky Top again.



clapdoc sends.

Tennessee is going to get crushed.

Crushed??? No way! If we show up and play 60 full minutes of football, the Vols can win this game. If they decide to play the way they've been playing the last couple games, get a nice lead and then disappear in the 2nd half, then yes, we could get crushed. I'm going to the game so I'll be wearing Orange and singing Rocky Top as loud as I can.

BOOMER SOONER!
:lifter:

Come on now, Mizzou isn't that tough.



BOOMER SOONER!
:lifter:


Every OHIO STATE fan is pulling for you. :D

Crushed? This isn't the PAC 10. Remember, Kentucky beat LSU, and some team name Monroe beat Alabama. The SEC is not that tough.

And Les Miles? OHIO STATE cannot wait for him to take the Michigan job. That guy .......I won't say it......








OK I am going to say it. He is the worst thing to happen to LSU since Saben left. LSU fans should be glad he is leaving.

Yeap
 

From LSUsports.com

Les Miles’ first two years with the Tigers has been unmatched in the history of the program. The results are impressive and staggering: 22 wins; 13 SEC victories; 8 wins over top 25 teams; 5 wins over top 10 teams; back-to-back top five final rankings; 2 bowl victories, including 1 BCS bowl win; 12 NFL Draft picks and four first-team All-Americans.

After leading LSU to an 11-2 mark and a top five national ranking in his first year as LSU's head coach in 2005, many wondered just what Miles would do for an encore. His second year with the Tigers proved to be another year full of milestones and firsts as he guided the Tigers to another 11-2 overall record, culminating with a 41-14 dismantling of 11th-ranked Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl.

The Tigers finished their second year under the direction of Miles ranked No. 3 in the nation, marking the first time since the 1958-59 seasons that LSU was ranked in the top five in the country in back-to-back years.

LSU's at-large berth in a BCS bowl was a first in school history and it also represented the third time this decade that the Tigers ended their season in the Sugar Bowl.

In 2006, Miles became the first coach in LSU history to lead the Tigers to back-to-back 10-wins seasons and with 22 victories in his first 26 games as the school's head coach, his win total matched Bernie Moore for the most in school history over that span. He also became the first LSU coach since Jerry Stovall in 1982 to beat two top 10-ranked teams on the road in the same season as the Tigers posted a 28-24 win over No. 8 Tennessee in Knoxville followed by a 31-26 victory over No. 5 Arkansas in Little Rock.

The Tigers were able to accomplish all of this during the 2006 season despite having to face four top eight opponents on the road, also a first in school history. LSU posted a 2-2 mark in those road games, which included November wins over Tennessee and Arkansas that propelled the Tigers to a berth in a BCS bowl.

LSU opened the 2006 season in grand style, posting identical 45-3 wins over Louisiana-Lafayette and Arizona. After a gut-wrenching 7-3 loss at No. 3 Auburn, the Tigers reeled off decisive wins over both Tulane (49-7) and Mississippi State (48-17). Following a 23-10 setback to eventual national champion Florida, the Tigers responded with seven straight wins to end the season, starting with a 49-0 victory over a Kentucky team who went on to win eight games and beat Clemson in a bowl game.

The Tigers capped the 2006 with its 41-14 win over an overmatched Notre Dame team in the Sugar Bowl, giving the Tigers their third win in a BCS game since the 2001 season. The three wins for the Tigers in BCS bowl games since the 2000 season is the most of any SEC team during that span.

With a 6-2 SEC mark in 2006, Miles ran his record in conference games to 13-3, which trails only Bernie Moore as the best start for an LSU head coach in league games in school history. Moore won 15 of his first 16 conference games from 1934-36.

Yeap, the worst thing to happen to LSU since Saben left.:D
