Hi Tom,
So do you think OU is going to lose to FSU? Sounds like you have your doubts. I think OU is going to put all their non-conference teams to bed, lights out.
As for UCLA, their coach has this year to prove himself or he'll be out of a job. He's recruited the entire teams so they need to perform. They looked pretty weak against Kansas St.
USC always pads their non-c schedule but I think the teams that play them get money for it, is that right? That's what I've been told. They get paid to basically take an ass-whipping.
Dr. O, I don't like the Boyz but I'll drink to the Horns!
@Jade: Yes, those lower-tier FBS* teams, and all the FCS* teams get paid to go play at the big dogs places and take their lumps. About 99.99% of the time just that happens. Then you get teams like Ole Miss which let Jacksonville State beat them. Ha ha ha.
As for Free Shoes U. yeah, I'm worried. Our secondary stunk last weekend, and Landry Jones stunk up the second half as well. The first half things looked good, the second half it was if a different team came out of the locker room. I hope it was a case of the kids reading their own press clippings and that Utah State disabused them of that notion. The FSU game will setup the rest of our season. We beat FSU, we have a good chance of going undefeated. If we lose, I see a couple more losses in our future.
*FBS - Football Bowl Subdivision (previously known as Division I-A)
*FCS - Football Championship Subdivision (previously known as Division I-AA)
Only football broke Division I down into I-A and I-AA.
B-rizze I sofa king wheat arded!
As I am in Vegas at the moment, maybe I'll place a bet on the OU game Saturday. I'll tell you what the line is later.
Before going to the sports book, I am getting this crazy seaweed massage/detox treatment. I need to know what it's like to be covered in sea plants and marine algae and then cocooned in foil. It is supposed to detoxify your whole body. I so need that :-).
Back to sports talk....did anyone see Clijsters play yesterday? She is one tough chick.
I saw the highlights on SportsCenter this morning, that was crazy battle.
Hey Tom,
Vegas picks OU to win by 7 in the game vs. FSU tomorrow.
So they probably will win but I bet it will be a closer score than that- more like 3.
Tommy Boy, your boys came up big. Screw that, they came up huge against FSU.
Yup- OU had no problem with FSU, as I predicted.
Now, UCLA on the other hand is a sad case. If I'm coach Neuheisel's wife, I'm putting my house on the market right about now, and hoping it will sell by December.
I'm just happy Iowa obliterated those cow humping Cy-clowns.
I felt like the only Penn State fan south of the Mason-Dixon line of Saturday night. Thankfully 'Bama fans are almost invariably corn-fed shit for brain douchebags, so I had fun goading the rednecks for a while. Then Tennessee got chewed up and spit out.
What a waste of good beer :(
I was at the Alabama - Texas National Championship game last year and I can attest that the 'Bama fans were very well behaved. They were too quiet actually. They didn't gloat at all.
Maybe they understood they got lucky when the Texas QB left the game in the first quarter with an injury.
What games are people excited to watch this weekend? No. 9 Iowa at No. 24 Arizona?
I hope Mike Stoops and his team puts a hurting on Iowa.
As for me, I'm obviously excited about Air Force. Boomer Sooner!
Glad you are confident I'm sure Dr. O like myself is a little nervous about this weekend. The shit didn't go down that well the last time we were in Lubbock.
