beemerman2k Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 I'll never forget "the strip" from the '93 Sugar Bowl game. After my jaw hit the floor in awe of that play, I became a fan of Gene Stalling's Alabama right then and there. Link to comment
beemerman2k Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 Oh yeah, speaking of 'Bama, I remember watching Sean Alexander play for them. In fact, I remember a bowl game in which Michigan faced Alabama and every time Sean got the ball my heart froze in terror. That man was a game changer, and I don't think he ever matched his NFL performance with his college level. He was awesome in college. Link to comment
Deadboy Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 After the upset the AP Poll College Football 2009 shows Washington at 24, while USC dropped from third to 12th. You'll recall that the Huskies upset the Trojans on a last-second field goal yesterday, 16-13. And yet again the rankings reflect life on Mars.....I ain't saying the Huskies should be 3rd like USC was but it does seem like the team that won should (perhaps) be ranked at least somewhere near the team they beat....but then again I am not an "expert"..... Link to comment
beemerman2k Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 I feel that way about Florida State. They beat #7 BYU on the road and yet they're only ranked #18. But at least BYU is ranked #19. Oh yeah, Florida State does have one loss, but it was to a team that is now in the top 10, so give 'em a break. But it's early yet, the true worth of these teams will be proven down the stretch. That's when the wheat and the chaff will become separated Link to comment
Matts_12GS Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Oh yeah, Florida State does have one loss, but it was to a team that is now in the top 10, so give 'em a break. There's your reason why... Had they beat a top 10 team it'd have been different. Danny, Tim and the Gators lost one of the NCAA's best wide receivers at the end of the season. Two cupcakes and a grudge match can make anyone sloppy. But, they still found a way to win. I have no doubt there will be other challenges, but I also believe they will overcome. Link to comment
beemerman2k Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 I don't get what you're saying. The Noles scored 54 points at #7 BYU and only lost to what is now #9 Miami. This tells me that Florida State is a much better team than they are credited as being. That means the hype be damned, they are going to continue to upset what are thought to be better teams.

motoguy128 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 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. Both Nebraska and Michigan State threw away their respective games at the end. At least Iowa beat Arizona handidly. Since we know the back-up quarterback (James Vandenberg), were were hoping for either a blow-out so he could a few snaps... or more secretly, a self destruction of Stanzi in the 1st half, so the back-up starts the 2nd. But that's OK, there are plenty of games left. Link to comment
tallman Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Well the Gators would seem to have the schedule in their favor. They go to LSU on 10/10, but that's it for SEC games. Georgia is "neutral" (right) in JAX. Meanwhile, also 10/10, Alabama is AT Ole Miss and who knows? Ole Miss is the only team that plays (I think) Alabama, LSU, Auburn and Tennessee. If they run that table, they belong in Atlanta and could be the team to beat. One game at a time... Link to comment
beemerman2k Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 Dang! South Carolina hosts Ole Miss tonight on ESPN, and I won't be able to see this game. I've been wanting to see the Gamecocks rise up in the SEC, an awefully tough conference to make your presence known. Since Lou Holtz took over that program I have been wondering when they'd become an SEC powerhouse. Now, Spurrier wants to prove his team as worthy of just that. I'd like to see him do it, although I have always seen him as a whiner :smile:. Really, he loses his head and gets all mad at his players, yet look at a guy like Bobby Bowden and he just takes it all in stride. Cool as a cucumber. The other great game this weekend is Miami at Virginia Tech. I'm calling a Miami win on the road this weekend. It will also be interesting to see if the Washington Huskies are for real as they face Stanford (not that this is a real test or anything), and can the Trojans get up off the mat as they host Washington State. I'm not sure USC is going to have Barkley back in the QB position. This thread ain't gonna die 'til January folks Link to comment
vizhip Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 VIZHIP..............GOOD GAME..........never have and never will expect a blowout game.... playing Tenn....anyone who does is....well let's just say they really don't know SEC football. Have a good season......... Wish I could take credit... but they definitely played their hearts out... Good luck through your season as well... we definitely need to keep the SEC up top of those polls... ))) Regards - -Bob Link to comment

That man was a game changer, and I don't think he ever matched his NFL performance with his college level. He was awesome in college. You see that in a lot of players... It is like... the play for fun in college and spirit and sportsmanship... and then it becomes a job where they have to build up their bodies to a different level which isn't as prime as it was in college where it was a natural level... or at least one that wasn't as far off as demanded by pros... and thus they seem to be able to do better and more... Least... this is my opinion... and not necessarily an accurate one... but look at the pros in their college days... after all... they had to excel in order to be noticed by the pros... and most of them did...

beemerman2k Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share Posted September 25, 2009 Look at the Gamecocks roll! 16-3 with 7 minutes left in the 3rd quarter over #3 Mississippi. Wow. Just when you get comfy with the old order of power in the SEC, here comes Spurrier to upset the applecart so to speak. There's a new power in town, folks, and it rises from South Carolina Of course, there's still plenty of time left for a #3 ranked team to erase that 13 point deficit so fast SC won't know what hit them. So the fat lady is still at the snack bar and not even thinking of coming out onto the field yet. Link to comment
Knifemaker Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 South Carolina DID IT....The fat lady choked on her hotdogs.... That's the ole ball coach of yor... To bad it was against another SEC team (in terms of national standings) but we have others to pick up the slack.... A team from the south will win the National Championship but which one????

tallman Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 James, This takes the pressure off of Ole Miss and I wouldn't be surprised to see them win one of the other home games that are ahead creating another problem for the polls. I think if they had stayed unbeaten eventually they would've faltered agains Al/Aub/LSU but now I think they'll win one of those . Link to comment

You SEC guys forget they still play football in the midwest? Corn fed beef! I'll grant you the SEC is good, but that doesn't mean they aren't overrated. Over the last 11 years ('98 -'08) the SEC only holds a 20-17-0 (.541) advantage over the somewhat watered down Big 12. Against the Big 12's predecessor (the Big Eight) the SEC had a 43-43-6 (.500) record. Wow, I've really got to work on my smack talk. The best I've got is, "We're almost as good as you." Sad.

The LSU vs Miss St. looks like it may have some potential... and depending on which Arkansas team shows up... they may be able to throw some on Alabama... Might want to look at the California vs Oregon game... I am thinking Oregon has a chance here for an upset at home... Tennessee hosting Ohio... means Tennessee needs to win this one just to get their season back on track... It is going to be tough with Auburn, Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina following Ohio with the week off happening after Georgia instead of their usual week 3 bye...

beemerman2k Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 Uh oh, Indiana leads Michigan at the half with a score of 23-21. Michigan has shown itself to be able to make significant adjustments at half time, so they had better do so today. I'm tellin' you right now, if Michigan loses this game I'm asking the moderators to lock and delete this thread. And if they don't do so, I'm going on a political rip so bad they'll ban not just politics, but the mere mention of college football from ever happening on this forum again! If I can't enjoy this game, nobody enjoys this game Then again, it's going to be hard for me to do that if I can't get out of bed for a few weeks due to severe depression The Big 10 ain't lookin' so big these days, are they? Looks like Florida State, North Carolina, and LSU need some prayers about now, too! I guess I should look into forming a college football support group thread on this forum Come on Michigan, save my butt! Make the adjustments and come out runnin' in the second half! Moderators: I'm just kidding, but don't tell anyone. I want them to sweat out this Michigan game with me! Otherwise, I'll hear a lot of trash talk if Michigan loses this game. So I'll really wish this thread didn't exist if that happens Link to comment

If Bama is on your teams schedule, you might want to sign up for counseling now, 'cause it's gonna be emotionally troubling when that fateful Saturday comes and there will be a line outside the psychiatrists office that day :smile: And look at Oregon take out #6 Cal! 39-3 at the end of the 3rd quarter. And poor Miami! Oh well, it was a fun run, but now it's over. Made a brief appearance into the top 10, too! Link to comment
tallman Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Well I graduated from USF, went to BC and FSU, root for the Noles when they play USF (and for USF when they play other teams). The Bulls outplayed us, we were outcoached, and the USF QB is from Tallahassee making his first start. Quite a story. They earned the win. Congratulations. Our "head coach in waiting" Jimbo Fisher gets $5,000,000.00 if he isn't named head coach in January 0f 2011. I'm so disappointed with his play calling, lack of consistency and demeanor I want to give him his money now, and I'll bet you dinner no one else hires him. Our players gave a great effort, but he didn't give them enough chances to make the kind of plays that puts a defender in a risky situation. Every time we threw deep and over the middle (way too few) we were open and caught it or dropped it. USF never handled those pass routes where they had to defend the middle of the field. For some strange reason, however, Jimbo decided we need more East West routes w/no one going over the middle and runs up the middle that all got stuffed. End of rant. Someone plese save us from our saviour. Congrats to Mich for coming back. Looks dire for the 'Canes, Marty. Tebow is sick, naw....won't matter. I'm a sick person for going to these games and torturing myself like this. At least next week we decided to skip a trip to Boston for the game and go to the BRR. Sorry for the long post but football around here comes right after God, family, country... thanks I needed that. Carry on. Link to comment

I'm happier to see what I hope is Bobby's last run in the sun end the way it is. It'll make a clean break easier when he finally gives it up. I think Timmy T. wants to break Herschel Walker's TD record by halftime so he can go in the locker room and take a well deserved nap! Link to comment

UT is playin' a nobody, so given the scores, the standings won't change. Gators are clearly making a statement after struggling (sort of) with a sucky Vol team.

OK OK so we were lucky to beat Miss State today. And so so teams are pushing our defense around. And we can't rush the ball.

tallman Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Hutch, 10-4 on the Jimbo fiasco. I wanted us to sign someone who used a spread/attacking offense that is the current rage (again). We still have skill players and speed. Instead we get a Bowden clowne with a golden parachute. And, 3 hoime games this year with rain. Maybe the Big Man upatairs is sending a message. James, Purdue's coaches blew it IMO calling a timeout w/36 seconds togo, ND still in a pile from a bad run, no timeouts left and their sideline calling them to line up and spike it. Would've left them w/one play. They ran that play, on 3rd down courtesy of Purdue, Purdue stopped that, but the extra down gave ND the win on next play. Link to comment
Husker Red Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Sure was an exciting day for college football. Hope Tebow fully recovers from that concussion. I think all these upsets probably mean the rankings just aren't very accurate yet. After a few more games we'll have a better idea who the real top 10 are. Huge party in Lincoln NE yesterday as the Huskers had their 300th consecutive home sellout - that's every game since 1962! BTW- that year they went to the first and only "Gotham Bowl" in Yankee stadium and beat Miami 36-34. Tonight the team looked good and came out really focused after the VT loss. We had our reserves in by half way through the 3rd quarter and they looked pretty good too. I am really excited for the Missouri game! Link to comment
beemerman2k Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 Tim: no kidding, I was shocked that the Purdue head coach used a time out to help ND get their act together. The Irish were scrambling to figure out what to do when Purdue gave them some time to relax and to think things over. Wow. Husker: I guess VT is a better team that I had given them credit for. Their only loss is to Alabama. This also suggests that the Corn Huskers are well on their way from the brink. EffBee: Looks like Washington really is a Pop-Warner team. After upsetting the Mighty Trojans, they lose to Stanford of all teams. Link to comment
bayoubengal Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I think the Huskers are on the way. ULL is actually a pretty decent football team with some players. Huskers should've beaten VT. I like where Pelini is going and Red I love the fan support. Nebraska fans are the greatest. They are getting the right support players and if they can get the elite players to come back they could be among the elite again soon. If only a could get bo to recruit Bama's territory real hard...

tallman Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Gotham Bowl, a real blast from the past. Lived n Miami and knew the QB, All-American George Mira. Miami had more than 2x the first downs, 2 1/2 times the passing yards, more rushing yards. Scores went back and forth, a very exciting game. I remember it like it was yesterday. Link to comment
