[KC native]

Florida sucks.

and

GO FROGS!

[Saul Good]

Big week. Arizona State v UCLA is going to be a good one as well.

[The Franchise]

If Notre Dame can beat Clemson.....then they've got a legitimate shot of making the playoffs.

[the Talking Can]

tcu 30
texas 0




first quarter

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

This TCU-UT game is awesome. UT gets a long drive going and misses their 2nd FG. Then 37-0 just like that. Enjoy it, Native.

[BryanBusby]

Strong isn't going to survive.

[tk13]

Both Georgia/Alabama and Clemson/ND should be complete slopfests due to massive amounts of rain.

[Reerun_KC]

A little college football.

[the Talking Can]

44-0 tcu

taking a nuclear shit on ut's program

[tk13]

44-0 tcu

taking a nuclear shit on ut's program

I'm sure you could go back 10 years and find some real good Big 12 message board posts about how TCU doesn't belong in this conference, especially from Texas schools.

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

At halftime, UT Freshman DB Kris Boyd retweeted someone who was telling Boyd to transfer to A&M.

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

MSU sucks. Fuck that conference

[displacedinMN]

HAWKEYES WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BWillie]

Dem Iowa boys with the gritty win, 5-0. Gonna be ranked. They don't play Ohio State, they don't play Michigan State or Michigan. Their hardest game left is @Northwestern and @Nebraska.

[BryanBusby]

Gonna be fun watching them get fist fucked in thr big 10 cg

[notorious]

In the KSU game, the OSU CB should be ejected for targeting.

That was blatant as hell.

:thumb: Oh I did. Took my son to the game and managed to get him to want to stay until after the start of the 4th quarter. It was a glorious day.

[tk13]

Alabama taking it to Georgia. 31-3.

Biggest shocker of the moment is Indiana is beating Ohio State 10-6 in the 3rd quarter.

[Jerm]

How Mark Richt continues to keep getting a pass year after year dumbfounds me...

Went to the OU game today. Tried to upload pictures but server isnt responding to uploads...

[keg in kc]

Another solid performance by the Michigan defense. I had a bad feeling going into this one, even after the beating wvu put on them last week, but I guess it was just gas. I still don't think they can compete with msu or osu yet, but both games are in the big house, so who knows.

[notorious]

Is OSU the college equivalent of Denver? Cheap shot cock suckers.

[Reerun_KC]

Is OSU the college equivalent of Denver? Cheap shot cock suckers.
That punt returner got wrecked. My guess would be maybe wave for the fair catch before the guy is two steps in front of you. Probably would prevent getting smoked.

[the Talking Can]

You're not alone

[notorious]

Dude got hit before the ball got there. Personal foul 15 yards.

[Reerun_KC]

Yeah it looked like it hurt.

[Saul Good]

How Mark Richt continues to keep getting a pass year after year dumbfounds me...

Because he wins 10 games a year?

[chiefs1111]

Hell of a throw by Will Grier for td. 7-0 Gators

[Pepe Silvia]

Hell of a throw by Will Grier for td. 7-0 Gators

They are looking pretty damn good so far this year.

[the Talking Can]

I'm sure you could go back 10 years and find some real good Big 12 message board posts about how TCU doesn't belong in this conference, especially from Texas schools.

which is worse for texas fans, i wonder..losing to tcu or a&m or tech

[notorious]

Long season for KSU. OSU is not very good except at WR.

[LiveSteam]

Mike Riley is Billllllllay. Mind boggling stupid

[tk13]

Eastern Michigan hanging in with LSU... LSU leads 20-14 at halftime.

[Al Bundy]

Touchdown Clemson. 14-0

[Strongside]

ND looks soft.

[DaNewGuy]

Clemon's kicker out there causing fumbles lol

[Rasputin]

Clemson is socking it to the Irish

[tk13]

Florida wipes out #3 Ole Miss, 38-10. That's not going to help their case at the end of the year.

[O.city]

Mora just had his long snapper intentially snap it out of the endzone for a safety to make it an 8 point game, because he was afraid of getting it blocked or the field positiin.

Pretty smart

[Rasputin]

Irish failed two point conversion 12 point game.

[O.city]

Actually, I'm not sure it it's dumb or smart

[Rasputin]

ND looks soft.


I think they forgot their jock shorts.

[Saul Good]

Actually, I'm not sure it it's dumb or smart

That was incredibly stupid. If you do that, you have to go for the onside kick, and they didn't.

[tk13]

Notre Dame almost threw a killer INT, but Clemson misses a long FG. Still alive.

[Saul Good]

Dabo is such a coward

[Strongside]

WHEW. This game has gotten GOOD!

[Strongside]

OMG wow.

[tk13]

Wow. Had the TD and fumbled at the 2.

[Rasputin]

& the Irish just Jamaalled their chances to victory.

[tk13]

If they can hold they can get it back with a minute to go, and force them to punt from their own endzone.

[The Franchise]

:facepalm:

Way to miss that blatant PI refs.

[Saul Good]

Anyone think Swinney will dial up something gutsy?

[Saul Good]

9 consecutive runs into the middle of the pile. Clemson deserves to lose.

[tk13]

There it is. Still have a chance. 32 yards to the endzone. Just gotta hang on to the ball.

[The Franchise]

Fuck this rain

[tk13]

That penalty gives ND an extra down to go for this.

[The Franchise]

I can't take this.

[Rasputin]

this is the game

[siberian khatru]

And that's that

[keg in kc]

Feel dirty rooting for Clemson but...yoohoo!

[Rasputin]

Denied

[The Franchise]

I love this kid. Holy shit.

[The Franchise]

I'm ok with that loss. This team showed me a ton in this game.

[tk13]

That was a tough call from 3 yards out. If the ball was on the 2 that would've worked.

Tough call also because they tore apart Clemson's pass D in the 4th.

[tredadda]

Stupid Brian Kelly and his horrible decisions! He should be banned from ever deciding anything involving two points.

[LoneWolf]

I'm ok with that loss. This team showed me a ton in this game.

Much like the Denver/KC game, the better team lost. 4 second half turnovers is really hard to overcome.

[Rasputin]

LMAO @ Sportscenter

[BryanBusby]

Fuck Notre Dame, so a great finish imo

[KCTitus]

Some great games this weekend...awesome upsets and great wins. As an Ohio State fan, I dont see OSU getting into the playoff unless they get serious.

[The Franchise]

Yep. Kizer looks good though.

[LoneWolf]

Yep. Kizer looks good though.

He sure does. I love the way he keeps his eyes downfield and looks relaxed in the pocket. This ND team has more overall speed than any team since the Rocket Ismail teams.

[BryanBusby]

Michigan State is going to wreck em

[tredadda]

Michigan State is going to wreck em

Michigan might as well.

[The Franchise]

He sure does. I love the way he keeps his eyes downfield and looks relaxed in the pocket. This ND team has more overall speed than any team since the Rocket Ismail teams.

It's nice to finally see some speed on this team.

[Prison Bitch]

I'm ok with that loss.

You guys have been saying that way too often the past 20 years.

[tk13]

Strange watching the Oregon/Colorado game in Boulder. It was already delayed once due to storms. It's well into the 4th quarter now... but ESPN just pulled all of their cameramen except the main sideline camera because of storms in the area. The entire broadcast is just the wide shot of the field. But for some reason they're still playing.

[El Jefe]

I don't like any team as top dog this year. I think we (o state) should be around 10. If we get a QB who can quit turning the ball over we could be great. Cardale looks like trash right now. I think TCU and Baylor have great offenses and no defenses. I would take TCU at 1 right now, they have had some ugly ones, but who hasnt, and Boykin looks great. Florida has a great D. Every team is like night and day from one week to the next. Hate off to ND for how hard they have fought every game, they gave Clemson everything they could handle.

Ohio State looks suspiciously like Florida State last year.

Also...WTF happened with Nebraska? I'm trying to find a replay of the game and haven't been able to so far. As I understand it, they led by 6 and had the ball 3rd down on the Illinois side of the field with 0:55 left in the game, and Illinois was out of timeouts...only to throw an incompletion that stopped the clock and let Illinois drive down and win.

If they just slowly knelt down on the ball, they could have burned 5 seconds. A delay of game would have taken the clock down to 0:10, and they could have punted it out of bounds leaving Illinois with no more than 5 seconds to drive the length of the field.

Who in the hell did they hire to coach that squad?

[Prison Bitch]

Dr Tom was tired of Texas + Okla schools dominating the Nubbers which is why he ran off to the BIG. He wanted to beat up on the Minnys and Iowas and Illinois of the world but they can't even do that anymore.

When you play down to a lower level, you become that lower level. association is very powerful, Dr Tom

[Saul Good]

The B1G is the second best conference so far this year. Their problems are coaching related. That said, they may be the one program that would most favor a do-over. They, the B1G, and the Big 12 might all be better off.

Nebraska will be fine, but 'fine' isn't exactly what Nebraska aspires to.

Doesn't show the play in question, though...

So you're trying to say that all those years Nebraska dominated was due to them playing in the Big 8/Big 12? Amazing.

That was all I could find online. I'm guessing the Big 10 network will replay it. I just watched the Mizzou replay this morning. That's my favorite part of the networks. They replay pretty much every game. I just want to see the fourth quarter of that one to see how it all unfolded.

Nebraska just can't seem to get out of its own way lately.

Not going to lie, Ohio State scares me to death, we look like one game away from imploding, or we could be one game away from becoming a juggernaut, I don't like feel like the juggernaut if the more likely at this time. I feel like Cardale Jones is a primadonna who listened too much to his own hype, and who really is not that great of a QB. I feel like the first few games the O-line was God awful, but they have done pretty well the last two games. Zeke is a baller. Our WR's are terrible outside of Michael Thomas, losing Devin Smith and Evan Spencer hurt bad, and losing Heurman is killer. Then losing Noah Brown before the season and now losing Corey Smith for the year is crippling. It is brutal to watch us on offense right now. Between fumbles, penalties, not handling snaps, not executing, bad plays calls, its like watching a bunch of idiots (outside of Zeke). We are really struggling, comparing us to FSU's squad last year is a good comparison though. If we don't get it together we could lose to MSU and TTUN.
