Knifemaker Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 after Tebow took 4 years to beat his 3 year SEC scoring record. It was Mr. Walker's Rushing TD record...Jake.....After all Tebow is a quaterback not a running back... wanna add the passing TDs to the mix ???? He broke 50 in one year in his 2nd year and won the H. trophy...... Link to comment
tallman Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 He's still no Travis Prentice. Travis Prentice, Miami (Ohio) (1996-99): 73 career rushing touchdowns Ricky Williams, Texas (1995-98): 72 Anthony Thompson, Indiana (1986-89): 64 Cedric Benson, Texas (2001-04): 64 Ron Dayne, Wisconsin (1996-99): 63 Eric Crouch, Nebraska (1998-01): 59 Marshall Faulk, San Diego State (1991-93): 57 Steve Owens, Oklahoma (1967-69): 56 Ken Simonton, Oregon Sate (1998-01): 56 Tony Dorsett, Pittsburgh (1973-76): 55 Chester Taylor, Toledo (1998-01): 55 DeAngelo Williams, Memphis (2002-05): 55 LaDainian Tomlinson, TCU (1997-00): 54 Dwone Hicks, Middle Tennessee (1999-02): 53 Chris Lemon, Nevada (1996-99): 52 But he will end up higher on the list. I think Eric Crouch is #1 for QB's. Link to comment
Huzband Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 It's happened again. Alabama didn't lose, didn't play poorly, heck, didn't even play. Yet they drop a spot in the ever mysterious BCS poll. I grew up with this, but it's still frustrating. On the one hand, I'm not all tied up in mid-season polls, but it's still hard to accept. Please forgive me. My beloved RT is in the shop having it's FD replaced, & I have a severe cold & am heavily medicated. None the less, it hurts to see my Tide drop for no apparent reason. Here's hoping they can make a statement against LSU. Link to comment

Here's hoping they can make a statement against LSU. It's called a missed opportunity. Texas showed their strength this week, but taking a week off, Alabama showed nothing after squeaking by TN. By the 8th game of the season, you shouldn't need 3 blocked FG to win a game as a #2 or #1 ... right?. Of wait, Iowa needs that every week...but of course it's a double standard for SEC teams because they are all so much better to to bottom. Most other teams play a cream-puff on off week as a mid season tune-up. OSU for example used NM State for cannon fodder. Link to comment

motoguy128 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 SOS will help in conferences with a chamipnship game. But Iowa, for example was lucky enough to play the top 9 big-10 teams this year and the top 4 all on the road. In comparison, Florida would need to play Alabama, LSU, Auburn and South Carolina all on the road or Alabama the same then take on another top 25 non-conference team at home. Alabama at least played Virginia Tech as a NC opponent. Florida hasn't played NC teams of consequence. They needed to play at least a #2 or #2 PAc 10, Big 12 or even Big east or Big 10 school. Just looking at Florida's schedule and results, other than pounding Georgia, Kentucky and 2 weak NS opponents, they have squeaked by on all of their important wins by 10 points of less. 2 of those games were at home aginst teams with records no better than Indiana or Mich. State and 1 of those games should have been a loss. South Carolina is their only strong opponent left. Even Texas has a 3 point and a 10 point win (at home). The Oklahoma State win was closer than it seemed, if you consider the number of turnover OSU had and a fumble that was ruled forward progress, that could have been a big momentum shift. When you look at the schedules and results of the top teams, I'm just not seeing why they are considered so much better than a team like Iowa. I didn't see Alabama rally against a 4-4 TN and score 28 points in the 4th quarter. Actually, have any of the top 3 teams scored 28 points in a single quarter against a .500 or better team??? Against ranked oppoents, Alabama has shown it has a strong defense and special teams, but hasn't scored any more point than Iowa on offense. And to top it off, even if Iowa had beat NIU and Arkansas State by 20 points, I still guarantee they wouldn't be ranked #1. Even if they had beaten ALL of their opponents by 10 points or more, they still wouldn't be #1. Link to comment
Knifemaker Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Come on let's stop the hate for the SEC....Sorry...we are proud that since 2003 we have adveraged 5 teams in the final BCS top 25 poll....Look at the power rankings for these teams in these years...you will find that most of the power rankings for these teams surpass other teams from other conferences even when the SEC team did not finish as high in the final poll as the others (non-SEC teams) No hard feelings but as I stated on an earlier post... Would coaches from any other conference like to play all the SEC teams all the time like we do in our conference...I doubt it... Link to comment
Matts_12GS Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 My guess is that someone from IWAH will talk about the thumping that UF got from the UI crowd a few years back in the Outback Bowl... I guess that folks in other conferences (ACC excepted since the chicken crossed the road under coach Bow down) don't realize that for most SEC teams going to a bowl game OTHER than the championship is a disappointment, really little more than a way for the football programs to fund other sports and support such government programs as title IX, etc. We now return to your regularly schedule SEC haters...

Auburn 6. LSU 7. Arkansas 8. Mississippi Is see the little bubble you live in has internet access. I did a little research and found the following when SEC teams faced the following "good" NC opponents. Georgia Lost to Oklahoma State but beat Arizona State (that's not sying a lot) Tennesseee lost to UCLA South Carilina beat NC State..but but an impressive 7-3 score. Kentucky beat Louisville, but only by 4 pts. Alabama beat Virgina Tech but only by 10 pts. LSU beat Washington but only by 8 pts Auburn beat West Virgina Miss. State Lost to Houston and GA Tech Arkansas beat Texas A&M Virginia Tech is the win to a NC team in the BCS top 25. CAl, Georgia Tech and OK State are all losses to top 25 teams. I'm still not seeing how they are so dominant other than getting expected wins against each other. I guess we'll find out in the bowls. Link to comment

I was having so much fun writing that post I almost spewed diet coke on may keyboard after it had routed thru my nose! It was actually historical success not 2009... You guys enjoy your games this weekend. I'm cautiously optimistic about Bama. Hope it is low scoring because if it is a 2+ touchdown win my gut is that it would be going Bama's way. Link to comment
Husker Red Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Funny list, Hutch. I got through the first few and thought "What the , oh, wait... It's comedy." Big game for you guys this weekend. I'll be watching that one to see who goes to the SEC championship game. I'm expecting a slug fest with Alabama winning a close one. The Huskers host Oklahoma, which should be a big rivalry but this year it's lost some of it's shine. Our offense has been flat out terrible lately, and even Oklahoma limps into the game with the same 5-3 record we do. I have a little hope because our offense has been great in (very) brief spurts. Maybe we will raise our game this week. Link to comment

Huzband Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 I'm still not seeing how they are so dominant other than getting expected wins against each other. Really? Care to re-think that position? I'm not particularly happy about Awah's loss. I've got no beef against the Big-10. It's just that...well...given your stabs at the SEC.... BTW, I can't take much more of this LSU BS. Let 'em hang around long enough.... Looks like Brandon's thumb was in the eye of the SEC. He should have to sit out a game that counts. Vandy? Really? Ohhh, that's gonna hurt. Link to comment
Huzband Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Bama's defense does it again. And their offense is almost back on track. At least they scored a couple of TD's this time out. But I must say, I'm not so confident they can beat Florida. Just hopefully optimistic. For the record, I believe that was an LSU interception late in the fourth. One way or the other, an SEC team is goin' to the Rose Bowl. Link to comment
motoguy128 Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Luck finally ran out on the Hawkeyes. Vandenburg couldn't dig out of Stanzi's hole, and dug and even bigger one. I did hear that he hasn't even taken snaps with the 1st team, so he went in pretty much unpreparred and there wasn't much of a pssing game to fall back on. To Northwestern credit, they circled the wagons and played pretty good pass defense. TO Vandenburg's credit, he did a good job staying mobile and avoiding the pass rush and throwing the ball away. It just seemed like he didn't have the timing down with the recievers. I look to him playing well against Ohio State. He'll at least have a full week of practice as the starter to work with hte 1st team recievers. Link to comment
tallman Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Danny, You're right, it was a pick. The game would've been a classic when LSU scored after that and then 'Bama went the distance to win at the end. Congrats, not your fault the refs suck. Tough one for the Hawkeyes. Gutsy call by GT coach to go for it in overtime instead of tying the game with a short field goal. Oregon loses to Stanford? Gotta love Saturday's in the fall. Link to comment

tallman Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 It's not just them, although they have had the spotlight on them recently. ACC refs are so baaad they make SEC one's look great. Among my favs are the 5th down (Big 8 wasn't it back then?) to allow a Colorado win leading to National Championship "The Fifth Down Game is the name of a college football game that included a play that the crew officiating the game permitted to occur in error. That play enabled the Colorado Buffaloes to defeat the Missouri Tigers by scoring a touchdown on the last play of their game on October 6, 1990. The ensuing controversy cast doubt on Colorado's claim to Division I-A's 1990 national championship, which it shares with the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. It has been called one of the top memorable moments and blunders in college football history" and the Doug Moseley ripoff FSU vs. UF. SEC ref called this no TD. I hope it is just the players today.

beemerman2k Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 Well, my season is long done. Michigan has lost 6 of its last 7, and the prospects for a win next weekend don't look too good (Buckeyes visit the Big House). Meanwhile, my 2nd favorite team got wiped off the rankings today by losing at the Coliseum by #25 Stanford. Their 3rd loss this fall, and their second highly embarrassing one (first being to unranked Washington Huskies). You all enjoy the rest of the fall. I'll lurk here once in a while but I don't imagine I'll say much anymore Florida, 'Bama and Texas now. This will be fun for me since I don't really have any skin in the game. My pick of the three?
