Tenn vs UCLA

[the Talking Can]

7-7

in spite of UCLA's 3rd string QB throwing 3 ints in his last 10 passes

[Mr. Flopnuts]

He's made some terrible decisions. I really hope UCLA wins like 3 games this year and Neuweasel crashes and burns.

Int for TD. Tenn 14-7

[banyon]

Looks like the Chiefs will probably take this UCLA QB in the next draft.


GO Vols!

[the Talking Can]

Tenn has missed 2 50 yard FG

UCLA's DL is beating Tenn...a pair of excellent DTs

would be a huge upset, though still unlikely

OMG! he throws a 4th INT with 30 secs left in half...returned for a TD!

14-7 Tenn

so damn stupid....

They love Skippy at UCLA. :D

[Skip Towne]

That Mustain kid should have gone to UCLA instead of USC.

[Mecca]

You know Tennessee has a good kicker because 90% of college teams wouldn't even try those FG's.

UCLA will be on probation within 4 years mark it down.

[alanm]

That Mustain kid should have gone to UCLA instead of USC.
And give up the chance to ride the pine for Pete Carrol? :shake:

[Mecca]

And give up the chance to ride the pine for Pete Carrol? :shake:

He went to USC because he wants to get experience in a pro style system so he will get drafted and be prepared to play in the NFL.

He even pointed out the history of a guy like Matt Cassell who got drafted after never starting.

But he chose Arkansas over USC first so it must not have been THAT important to him.

[dj56dt58]

damn..I tuned in to watch the game but looks like the Food Network took over

[Mecca]

Todd Blackledge just goes around eating.

[Coach]

What's the score?

[Mecca]

14-7

[Skip Towne]

What's the score?

14-7 Tenn has been pushing them all over the field but it doesn't show in the score.

[ClevelandBronco]

Neuheisel after four first half interceptions: "Punting is winning."

[Skip Towne]

Neuheisel after four first half interceptions: "Punting is winning."

Lou Holtz: It's a 10 yard game. Just get first downs.

[Coach]

14-7

Thank you. It'll be a tough year for me to go through without any cable, but eventually, it will save me some $ for finally purchasing a home, whereas we'll deftinaly have HD cable.

[Coach]

14-7 Tenn has been pushing them all over the field but it doesn't show in the score.

Ah, the "shoulda, woulda, coulda been game" where the other team should be like 28-7 score.

[Skip Towne]

Ah, the "shoulda, woulda, coulda been game" where the other team should be like 28-7 score.

Yep, it's a stats game.

[the Talking Can]

14-10

4th quarter

reviewing a ucla safety

tenn should be destroying them

[Mecca]

I think both these teams suck.

[DaKCMan AP]

Tennessee was going to try and miss another 50+ yard FG. Offsides, now will punt.

[the Talking Can]

tenn is melting down and moving backwards...penalty costs them a fg shot

ucla's dl is giving a heroic effort

[the Talking Can]

ucla on tenn 30

8:30 left....down 4

Craft is 10-13 this half

tenn has 9 penalties
ucla has 1

[Coach]

tenn is melting down and moving backwards...penalty costs them a fg shot

ucla's dl is giving a heroic effort

Well, here's Tennessee's problem. Their Head Coach has been busy looting in New Orleans for his Krispy Kreme Donuts instead of gameplanning against UCLA.

[Skip Towne]

The worm has turned.

[Bugeater]

Not sure that was a TD.

[Bugeater]

Heh, that was a quick review. I wonder what the deal is with the covered up seats in the end zone.

[Mecca]

Tenessee must blow how do you have 4 INT's and 14 points.

[Coach]

Tenessee must blow how do you have 4 INT's and 14 points.

2 words.

Phil Fulmer.

[the Talking Can]

ucla dl is dominating

[Mecca]

UCLA isn't even one of the good teams in the Pac 10 and this is happening....bad sign for Tennessee this year...

[chiefs1111]

Tenessee must blow how do you have 4 INT's and 14 points.

Neither of these teams are any good. I am really surprised Fulmer is still coaching the Vols

[chiefs1111]

UCLA isn't even one of the good teams in the Pac 10 and this is happening....bad sign for Tennessee this year...

Yes I look forward to my Gators stomping all over them in a couple weeks.

[banyon]

Tenessee must blow how do you have 4 INT's and 14 points.

Crompton's a brand new starter in his first big game. There's definitely room to improve, but I certainly didn't have my sights set on a BCS bowl with UGA and UF's teams in the same division this year with more established rosters.

That is no excuse this is Mark Sanchez first year as a starter, it's not like he's a true freshman.

You don't think that some QB's have a bigger learning curve than others?

[Mecca]

You don't think that some QB's have a bigger learning curve than others?

I don't think Tennessee's offense is nearly as complex as SC's but I also don't think Crompton has Sanchez talent but when you've been in the program 2 years you should know the offense and atleast be ok.

[tk13]

I don't know if I like that new clock stoppage rule. If you get out of bounds, the clock should stop. Although I guess it could encourage teams to go down the middle of the field and force the defense to cover everything.

[chief52]

That is no excuse this is Mark Sanchez first year as a starter, it's not like he's a true freshman.

This is Sanchez's fourth year at USC...he has all kinds of experience.

[banyon]

I don't think Tennessee's offense is nearly as complex as SC's but I also don't think Crompton has Sanchez talent but when you've been in the program 2 years you should know the offense and atleast be ok.

Meh, I doubt that Crompton was as highly touted or recruited as Sanchez either. But it's a road game and they're still driving.

[Mecca]

This is Sanchez's fourth year at USC...he has all kinds of experience.

And this is Cromptons 3rd or 4th year at Tennessee.....

[banyon]

speak of the devil

Hope they didn't score too fast.

[cdcox]

Rocky Top.

[Mecca]

Meh, I doubt that Crompton was as highly touted or recruited as Sanchez either. But it's a road game and they're still driving.

I think Crompton was a 4 star guy, he was in that high school army all star game....Sanchez was a 5 star guy but Crompton was obviously expected to be good.

[the Talking Can]

I was sad to see Cutcliffe go away again. We've always had our best passing games with him at the helm.

[the Talking Can]

I was sad to see Cutcliffe go away again. We've always had our best passing games with him at the helm.

why'd he leave?


1:50 left

[chiefs1111]

And this is Cromptons 3rd or 4th year at Tennessee.....

Yes though to be fair the have a new OC with a completely new system. That being said,I don't think he should be looking as bad as he has tonight,UCLA isn't exactly a world beater.

[Mecca]

That almost went that distance.....

[banyon]

why is this a poop thread?

[Mecca]

why'd he leave?


1:50 left

I think he got another head coaching job.

[banyon]

why'd he leave?


1:50 left

I think he's HC at Duke now. Good luck with that.

[chiefs1111]

why'd he leave?


1:50 left

He's the head Coach of Duke now

[the Talking Can]

craft is on fire

[Mecca]

Cutcliff has been given a bunch of head coaching jobs he always ends up getting fired.

[chiefs1111]

I think he's HC at Duke now. Good luck with that.

Yeah he must have really wanted to be a head coach badly to go there. I would have just stayed at Tenn

[DaKCMan AP]

I think he's HC at Duke now. Good luck with that.

They already matched last year's win total. :D

[DaKCMan AP]

UCLA has a very good kicker.

[chiefs1111]

Hopefully UCLA can pull out a win

[DaKCMan AP]

Hopefully UCLA can pull out a win

What? What's wrong with you?

[Mecca]

UCLA has a very good kicker.

Seeing as their down by 4, I don't think that matters.

[the Talking Can]

on the tenn 30!

49 secs

[banyon]

UCLA has a very good kicker.

Well they're down 4 points, so he'd better really be something special.

[DaKCMan AP]

Seeing as their down by 4, I don't think that matters.

No, but I'm sure Carl is scouting this game. ;)

[QuikSsurfer]

WOW

[chiefs1111]

They already matched last year's win total. :D

Yeah they are celebrating hard after that win,it might be there only one this year

[the Talking Can]

on the 11!

[Mecca]

Tennessee's defense is folding...

[the Talking Can]

ucla is 11 yards from upset with 3rd string qb and 4 ints

[chiefs1111]

What? What's wrong with you?

I dont want Tenn to win,I can't stand them as one of the Gators rivals

[the Talking Can]

16-20 in 2nd half

[DaKCMan AP]

I dont want Tenn to win,I can't stand them as one of the Gators rivals

I always want the SEC to beat out of conference opponents. A Tennessee loss to UCLA is embarrassing for the rest of the league.

[the Talking Can]

on the 2!

[ptlyon]

They ain't got game. They had a great kicker once...

[Mecca]

That should have been a TD.

[tk13]

And there it was. A little too much gas.

[Bugeater]

Ouch. That was there..

[the Talking Can]

missed open td

[Mecca]

You gotta be kidding me.

[Bugeater]

LOL TD

[QuikSsurfer]

What a game.

[Skip Towne]

Craft is a different QB this half.

[the Talking Can]

[banyon]

That was some good playcalling from Chow.

[Silock]

It's times like these that make college FB better than the NFL.

[Coach]

Man, sounds like it's picking up the pace after a crapstastuar first half.

[the Talking Can]

craft has an 80% completion 2nd half


epic

[Mecca]

Well that will help out USC when they smack UCLA around later this year.

[Skip Towne]

I always want the SEC to beat out of conference opponents. A Tennessee loss to UCLA is embarrassing for the rest of the league.

Prepare to be embarrassed.

[chiefs1111]

I can see your point about that but I just ever bring myself to root for Tenn. They are just to big of a rival to the Gators.

He's been great in the second half...

Maybe our new QB next year with the 1st round pick? Oh ya, UCLA... LOCK

[Mecca]

They need 10 yards....this is doable.

[the Talking Can]

[tk13]

That 3 man rush by UCLA was weak.

[Mecca]

They got thier shot and its right down the middle.

[the Talking Can]

47 yd fg try

[QuikSsurfer]

praying for OT

[DaKCMan AP]

Prepare to be embarrassed.

Well, I guess it's not as bad as A&M losing to Arkansas State.

[Skip Towne]

Did you see him throw 4 INT's the first half?

[ptlyon]

Did you see him throw 4 INT's the first half?

Equal to what we got

[DaKCMan AP]

IT'S GOOD!

[Mecca]

Got it.

[cdcox]

Let's do overtime.

[tk13]

Money.

[ChiefaRoo]

OT

[QuikSsurfer]

YES!!!!!!!

[the Talking Can]

ot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tk13]

The last 4 minutes of this game have been insane.

[chiefs1111]

overtime

[Skip Towne]

OT Great game

[chiefs1111]

IT'S GOOD!

The kicker for the Vols is from my hometown of Ocala and he wanted to go to Florida but Urban wanted a different kicker so he went to Tenn instead

[chiefs1111]

Well, I guess it's not as bad as A&M losing to Arkansas State.

That one surprised me a bit...

[Mecca]

The kicker for the Vols is from my hometown of Ocala and he wanted to go to Florida but Urban wanted a different kicker so he went to Tenn instead

Is that a nice way of saying Urban is dumb?

[chiefs1111]

Is that a nice way of saying Urban is dumb?

No,I was just pointing it out is all lol.

[ptlyon]

My aunt retired to Ocala - was there in Feb - nice place.

[Mecca]

No,I was just pointing it out is all lol.

I don't like Urban Meyer so...

[cdcox]

UCLA went conservative.

[chiefs1111]

Ugly series for UCLA

[Mecca]

Only a FG....not good for UCLA>

[ptlyon]

I don't like Urban Meyer so...


I don't like Urban Renewal... So...

[cdcox]

Tennessee looks like they will return the favor.

[ClevelandBronco]

Lazy blocking.

[Mecca]

These teams suck now that it's OT.

[DaKCMan AP]

yawn

[ptlyon]

Prediction: Blocked

[Mecca]

Game over.

[QuikSsurfer]

AHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DaKCMan AP]

Is that a nice way of saying Urban is dumb?

Guess not..

[chiefs1111]

He Missed it!

[banyon]

No good. Season over.

[Skip Towne]

Nice kick!!!

[ClevelandBronco]

You guys still looking for a kicker?

[dj56dt58]

Tenn might wanna think about a new fg kicker...

[ptlyon]

Or miss it you panzy. Ladies and Gentleman... Our new place kicker...

[cdcox]

Good. That's what overly conservative teams deserve. Take notes Herm.

[the Talking Can]

missed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ucla wins!!!!!!!!!

[Bugeater]

Everyone gets a hug and kiss from Coach Skippy.

[chiefs1111]

Guess not..

lol I guess Urban was right not to take him

[Mecca]

Guess not..

I just hope I never have to hear Urban Meyer for week after week whine about how the system is messed up then when his team is 2nd go "well you can't question the system"

[ptlyon]

You guys still looking for a kicker?

Is there a difference?

[cdcox]

The lesson: don't depend on a FG kicker. Win it with a touchdown.

Not the lesson: get a better FG kicker.

FG kickers suck.

[DaKCMan AP]

I just hope I never have to hear Urban Meyer for week after week whine about how the system is messed up then when his team is 2nd go "well you can't question the system"

You still have sand in your vag about 2006? Florida was clearly the best team. Get over it.

[ptlyon]

The lesson: don't depend on a FG kicker. Win it with a touchdown.

You root for the wrong team then...

[Mecca]

You still have sand in your vag about 2006? Florida was clearly the best team. Get over it.

Not really it just made me dislike the guy.

[Skip Towne]

Guess not..

I was for Tenn the whole game until I found out you were for them. Eat it!!!!!!!

[DaKCMan AP]

Not really it just made me dislike the guy.

For being right?

[cdcox]

You root for the wrong team then...

No, my team has the wrong coach. NEVER WANTED HERM.

[DaKCMan AP]

I was for Tenn the whole game until I found out you were for them. Eat it!!!!!!!

Yes, I'm terribly heartbroken that a bitter rival lost.

[Mecca]

For being right?

No, it makes you look like a retard to do what he did. You don't whine and whine and whine about how something is so wrong then the second it benefits you go "well you can't question the system" Didn't he just himself question it for weeks on end?

It made him look like a hypocritical jackass in my opinion.

[DaKCMan AP]

If it gets Florida a National Championship I really could care less about what he does. Great job by Urban.

[Coach]

I just hope I never have to hear Urban Meyer for week after week whine about how the system is messed up then when his team is 2nd go "well you can't question the system"

Oh, the BCS System is majorly flawed, without a doubt.

[Mecca]

Oh, the BCS System is majorly flawed, without a doubt.

The point isn't that it's flawed, that's fine and it's fine to question the thing is that once it benefited him he said you can't question it and it was great. You shouldn't completely change your entire view based on how it benefits you.

[Skip Towne]

I learned tonight to find out who Gayturd man is for so I can root the other way.

[ptlyon]

FU TODD BLACKLEDGE!!!

[Ultra Peanut]

Rick Neuheisel is an awesome god
He reigns, and picks the winners

[Mecca]

Rick Neuheisel a few short years from putting UCLA on probation.

[ChiefsCountry]

If I was a USC fan I would be a little nervous about UCLA getting somebody in their to recruit. UCLA would be a hell alot better sale than the ghetto where USC is at.

That's one way of looking at it, but in whole, there are alot of teams that are not deserving to be in their slotting, for example, Ohio State to name one. Not to mention that I strongly felt that Missouri should have been in the BCS along with Kansas.

This is college football. I'm not going to start talking again about playoffs because it won't do any good. (I'm a big supporter for playoff format) The bowls are making too many people rich. I'm not going to mention again how hypocritical and pathetic it is that the NCAA would let some computers write the finish of the college football season rather than leaving it to the players themselves. I'm not going to say again that college football, because of greed and pigheadedness and politics, has the worst ending in all of sports.

No, but I am going to say that Missouri got jobbed, and the fact they went to the Cotton Bowl, where they played a a big fat who-gives-a-f*ck game before SportsCenter (Except for MU fans but that's another story). That's not much of an ending after a wonderful year, but then, hey, it's bowl season. What the f*ck do I suspect?

[Mecca]

If I was a USC fan I would be a little nervous about UCLA getting somebody in their to recruit. UCLA would be a hell alot better sale than the ghetto where USC is at.

Being UCLA football is like being USC basketball, you have pressure to be as good as the other school but it'll never happen.

I have no worry because Rick Neuheisel will have them on probation before long, I think they should be better than they are but they won't ever touch the level SC is on.

[Skip Towne]

And it works that way for every conference unless both teams are undefeated, if you go into your conference championship game, lose and have 2 losses you just dropped alot.

[Coach]

And it works that way for every conference unless both teams are undefeated, if you go into your conference championship game, lose and have 2 losses you just dropped alot.

Compared to Ohio State who gets alinged aganist a SEC or Pac-10 team, where 90% of the college football fans know what's gonna end up, a slaughter?

Sorry, I think the game would have been more competitive had it been someone else. Ohio St. ,who was idle for the final two weeks, climbed the rankings from #5 to #1. I'm sorry, you don't deserve to move up by being idle for two straight weeks.
