Matts_12GS Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I saw some shirts the other day that said ""Memo to Lane Kiffin" and the back said "Be afraid, be very afraid... 9.19.09" Speaking of UT (no, the other UT, with the bovine!), I did see a hat a couple months back from an UO fan... A red hat with the longhorn logo upside down on it. It was pretty darn funny. Link to comment

Husker Red Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Ha ha! Horns Down! Sigh, I can't wait for the Huskers to be competetive enough to make those games OU and Texas a real rivalry again. The Vegas line has Florida by 30 over Tennessee! That's a slap in the face, Vol fans. Tebow seems like a decent young man, but the level of schoolgirl-like crushes on him from the sports media is getting old. Old man Monte Kiffen (a former Husker) won't let his D give up that many points. I'll take TN with the points. Go Vols +30!!! Just for fun - this was making it's rounds on the message boards after the national championship game last year. I don't know who wrote it, so I can't give proper credit: Tebow Skips Senior Season, Ascends Directly Into Heaven MIAMI (SP) -- Shortly after leading the Florida Gators to a national championship with a 24-14 win over Oklahoma, junior quarterback Tim Tebow announced that he would skip his senior season and ascend directly into heaven. Tebow entered the press room to wild applause. A reporter for a 24-hour cable sports network burst into tears when the 2007 Heisman winner entered the room. Another threw a pair of boxer shorts on the podium. Tebow smiled at the gesture and several sports reporters fainted. "Sorry I'm late," Tebow began. "There was a six-year-old boy with cancer in row 54 and I had to make my way through the crowd to heal him." "I want to start by saying that playing quarterback for the University of Florida, winning two national championships, has been a great honor. There has been some speculation about my future and I want to clear that up right now," he continued. "Don't go, Tim!" a reporter shouted from the back of the room. "After much consideration, I have decided to skip my senior season at the University of Florida and ascend directly into Heaven," Tebow announced. Upon making the announcement, Tebow was bathed in a blinding white light and vanished. Link to comment
beemerman2k Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 Husker Red: that is just classic! Gee, I wonder. The Florida Gators won the National Championship in 2006 by beating Ohio State in a blowout: 41-14. The Gators then took the title again in 2008 by beating Oklahoma 24-14. Hmmm, now how did Florida do in the Capital One Bowl in 2007? Did they win or lose? And who did they play? Hmmmm MICHIGAN, BABY!!! 41-35 over the Florida Gators. Coach Lloyd Carr's last game as head coach of the Wolverines. :smile: Link to comment

(Truth is, I like both of those teams. I can, I'm not in the SEC). Well, this side of New Years, that might be the case, but the top echelon of Bowl Games should be incredible this year. Florida, Texas, USC, maybe Oklahoma, Bama, maybe Penn State -- it'll be a whole new season when those games commence.

Knifemaker Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Whoa, Knifemaker is talkin' BIG trash, James..........it's all in fun...I love football both college and professional....My first pro love was The RAAAIDERS....even have a signed and framed Hall of Fame jersey from George Blanda hanging in my football room...now I support my hometown boys the JAGS. I never was schooled at UF (went to college in Kansas City) but I married a woman who lived in Gainesville and spent thousands of dollars so my daughter could graduate from UF with her Masters Degree.....so unlike so many rabid Gator fans and other college football fans at least I do have some real ties to the university. That being said... if it's a beautiful day on Saturday or Sunday more than likely you will find me getting in 300 to 500 miles on my real love...MOTORCYCLES.... Oh by the way....I was born in Michigan but we moved when I was 3 weeks old and I have spent the last 54 years living in Florida and being a fan of FLORIDA FOOTBALL.... Link to comment

In fact, you should see how my friends act during this time of year. So much trash talkin' you'd think we were the ones suiting up on Saturdays. And your team had better not lose -- questions of your supposed gender begin to surface and the jokes are not the kind you want to ever own up to in public I assure you. Questions pertaining to race, gender, and sexual preference begin to surface No "pc" around here, that's for sure. The goal of the trash talk? If you can get someone mad, I mean really angry, that in itself is so funny it's all we'll talk about for years to come. So you had better buck up and take it like a man around here. And then there's Cathy. Oh Cathy. In my NFL pool, we have about 10 guys who have been playing since the 90's. Cathy joined us and has won 6 of the last 8 seasons! So now all us guys are feeling a bit less like ourselves these days But you know what? it hurts so good! Link to comment

vizhip Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Since we are not being...PC....Where are the VOL fans or are they smarter than the coach? Right here... I am just realistic about how the team plays and my expectations... But then... I don't get paid by the UT system for performance... I only had to pay THEM for schooling... and tickets afterwards... (loved the student free passes of the old days - show student id and walk right in and catch some great games)... But I digress... I expect we will beat the 30 point spread - but only because I expect the special teams and the defense to do a little scoring and be very active... and am HOPING that the idiot quarterback decides to FALL on the ball rather than attempt to thread a micrometer in 4 on 1 coverage... Of course, it doesn't help that he ignores the other receivers and keeps concentrating on his target to see if he is going to get open or figure out if there is a prayers chance of threading the ball between all the converging defenders... The have one junior quarterback and two freshmen quarterbacks available... and if you asked me, I would say throw one of the freshmen to the wolves and get his feet wet... he can't do any worse... and then use him for the rest of the year preparing him for future seasons with the Vols so we will have an EXPERIENCED quarterback in the next couple of years and thus become a threat once again from the OFFENSIVE side of the ball as WELL as the DEFENSIVE side...

Husker Red Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Oh! What a disappointing finish! I thought we had that one. We had contained their "dual-threat" quarterback all day and then he manages to burn us with one throw at the end. Oh well, at least we're not USC today. Link to comment

tallman Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 James, They played well, if giving up 500 yards can be called that. But I'll take the outcome any day. Time will tell if FSU and Miami are pretty good, or not, this year. Special win as it is the 50th anniversary of Bobby's first win as a head coach in college. BTW, son Terry is 3-0 at ranked #3 in DII at his new school N. Alabama. 496 wins w/Bobby and Terry, then add in Tommy's total of 90. 586 wins for the Bowden family as college head coaches. Pretty cool. Go Noles! Link to comment
beemerman2k Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 I'm still impressed; they were at #7 BYU's house.

beemerman2k Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 USC will crush everyone, then lose 12-6 to a Pop Warner team, then crush everyone else. Top 3 again. Sigh. But that Frosh QB showed some promise! EffBee called it. Only this year the Pop Warner team was Washington. Unreal. OK, so SC did lack Barkley in the QB position as he was hurt. They also lacked some other key personnel (Safety, I think). But dang, this tendency is quite predictable now. Wow. Link to comment

If it's becoming predictable, then what's the constant year after year? It's got to be the coach. He's a GREAT recruiter. And I think he's excellent at game plans. But I don't know if he's able to think that fast on his feet and formulate new plans as changing game situations demand. Not a reason to dump Pete Carroll. But it's something he's going to have to work on or get some help with. Interestingly, once the team loses their early season "Pop Warner" game (which truly is an unfair characterization of the Huskies as they seem to be rebounding well from an abysmal season), the entire Trojan team is then amped up and motivated, and they finish the season strong, if not perfect from that point. Someone's got to get that fire in them earlier, and keep it lit. Link to comment

beemerman2k Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 Thanks, James. If it's becoming predictable, then what's the constant year after year? It's got to be the coach. I agree with you, EffBee. Carroll is obviously a great coach, but he has to find a way to get that team prepared every Saturday for every team. SC is a target and has been for some time. Every team is hyped to play them because if they can give SC a hard time (I think most of them are more surprised they won than anyone else is) then that's something to be proud of. So even the 0-8 teams are going to give their all against USC. Someone's got to get that fire in them earlier, and keep it lit. This, to me, is exactly the problem. Now, I think Washington is going to prove to be a much better team that we all thought they were, but even still, they're not so good that SC should have lost to them, or that SC should have been held to 13 points, which is about what they average in a quarter! Most defenses are proud to have held SC to 13 points in a quarter. But yeah, Carroll has to find a way to keep them focused and ready. Link to comment
tallman Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 EffBee, He may be all of those, but the day he had a player pretend to commit suicide and jump from the rooftop in view of the team (player was there, backed up and a manequin w/jersey and gear went over the side) as a "motivational" tool, PeteC dropped out of my radar and I lost all respect for him. Too many people are touched by the spectre of suicide. College football continues to provide all the theatre one could ask for. Link to comment
