Oh, and Happy DaKCMan AP Appreciation Day to everyone :D

not a gator fan but i hope they score 104 points

georgia / arkansas is not a high profile matchup, but it is an interesting barometer for both programs...

I think a lot of people share this sentiment.

College Football -Week 4
 

#12 Central Missouri vs #11 Pittsburg State
Nebraska-Omaha vs #6 Northwest Missouri State
Emporia State vs. Missouri Southern
#22 Washburn vs. Missouri Western
Fort Hays State vs. Truman St.

I'm expecting some pretty damn good games here

I agree. There are a few interesting games this weekend that I did not bold, IMO:

#3 USC at Washington
#17 Cincinnati at Oregon State
#23 Georgia at Arkansas
West Virginia at Auburn
Kansas State at UCLA

its too bad not many people will get to see Toledo upset ohio state

I hope they score 4 points.

And for those of us who have DirecTV, we won't get to see the KU game on Versus. DirecTV and Versus have their panties in a bunch, so DirecTV stopped broadcasting their signal.

Didn't know it was being broadcast on Versus. Thanks for the info.

BTW, I'd love to see Mandy Shannon and Miami get destroyed tonight.

Did you read the note in the program guide? Comcast forced them to quit broadcasting Versus.

I'm giving Nebraska a decent chance at Virginia Tech. It will be a tough game to win.

Va Tech is only a 5 point favorite. Should be a good game.

If Nebraska can run the ball they can win

I'm more worried about stopping the run. Tyrod might take off.

Not really many games that blow me away on the schedule. Hopefully VPI demolishes Nebraska.

My parents are in Ann Arbor for the inevitable let down.

I detest the Chokies enough to almost hope you win that game.

ALMOST.

The defense didn't play great vs Arkansas State thats why I said Nebraska will have to run the ball and play keep away from Va Tech.

I've read both sides of the argument. The problem is that most people don't care about Versus unless they're into MMA, cycling, or the occasional football game. If it wasn't for the KU game I wouldn't give a shit about Versus. It sounds like they're demanding things from DTV that others don't have to abide by. It's a weak power play by Versus who suddenly think they're ESPN.

I think this covers it, and take care of the ball and cover ST.

I am actually thinking NU comes out with the W.

Vs actually carried quite a number of KU basketball games. Along with Altitude, and ****ing Yankee Entertainment Sports (why KU os on there i have no clue...)

Hopefully they quit being whiney ****s and let me watch some ****ing sports.

will be fun to see UCLA destroy K-State. Kansas will roll over Duke :)
I will definitely be a Virginia Tech fan this week too, who does Mizzou play?

I'm hoping KU gets clear the hell away from Versus. I'm betting they will.

lol, you hate them that much because KU beat them in the BCS bowl?

Hope so. I want to see some ****ing games. Bitches.

Furman? Seriously?

Nebraska should win. The ACC is garbage. I honestly hope Nebraska wins every game up to the Oct 8 matchup in Columbia.

We all remember how hard you were rooting against VT in that 2007 Orange Bowl. I forget who they were playing...

so did the rest of the world.

You're right. It's not like they were playing some bad-ass program like Bowling Green or anything.

Tennessee has a really good coaching staff, they'll be good when they get players.

After all my life not having a favorite college football team, I've decided to adopt TU. So I'm officially on the TU bandwagon BEFORE they beat OU Saturday.

must be fun being a WR at Georgia Tech.....

Hopefully Miami will win...

Okay, that dude that had the Miami "U" symbol carved in his chest hair...

eww.

Less fat hairy guys, more hot chicks, camerapeople. ****.

This is looking brutal.

Jacory Harris really looks like a player.

The shitty thing about working during games is I think "wow, this game's going quick" and then I realize what feels like 15 minutes to me is 90.

I was hoping this would be a good game. Hopefully Tech can come back..

LOL be honest you wan't Miami to lose because if they come back to the national stage they'll **** with Florida's recruiting.

No, not really. Florida still hasn't really broken into Dade County recruiting. Miami still gets the players from that area. I want Miami to lose because I don't like Mandy Shannon and their fans, most of whom don't even go to games and many who never went to school there, are tools.

It's easy to root against Miami.

They'd still jack with the recruiting to some extent because other kids in the state would consider Miami an option.

I'm not concerned about the University of Florida or Urban Meyer's ability to recruit.

Ah that's right Urban and his tactics.

24-10 Miami, just tuned in.... great justin.tv feed. :hmmm:

So much for that.

Maybe Miami really is back....no one can bitch about them being in the top 25 now.

ROFL @ GT punter.

In their conference if they beat OU at home they have a legit shot at playing in the Nat'l championship game.

They have some similarities of the 2000 Sooners.

This game's been a letdown. As in I was hoping it would be more competitive.

Cool Miami beat a shitty Florida State team and Georgia Tech who runs the option. See what LSU did to Georiga Tech in the bowl and how Clemson came whipped their ass in the 2nd half. Theres a reason not many teams run the option anymore.

beating two top 20 teams back to back is not easy, you have to give props to Miami and I really do not like Miami at all.

Those 2 teams aren't really top 20 teams. Yea i'll give them props but Miami isn't a National Championship team.

Lane Kiffin is my hero. When he doesn't think he'll get a recruit, he starts mocking of the University they probably will go to. Loved that crap about how if you go to South Carolina you'll be pumping gas and be a loser.

BWillie here to give you the run down off all my picks this week. I'm going to give you three games this weekend that are LOCKS. If you call now, I'll give you the rest of my Top 25 picks for only 149.99 a minute.

Make sure you put all of your money on

Arkansas over Georgia (Even)
Iowa State to cover over Kent (-1 ISU)
Oklahoma to cover over Tulsa (-14 OU)

Due to the overwhelming demand of my services, everybody with the last name A-R can begin calling my toll free # 1-800-BWI-LLIE now, everybody with the last name starting with S-Z please call tomorrow beginning at 8 AM.

Yeah OK

By watching the games it should be apparent that Miami is almost back. They have a ton of speed at the skill positions and the D is formidable.

Either way, we get to listen to ESPN tell us they're back. (I'm assuming. I try to stay as far away as possible)

or UTEP.

:whackit:

You're dumb.

I don't know if it will happen, but if Michigan State can go into South Bend and beat ND, the idiot ND fanbase will absolutely melt down after all their talk of going undefeated and a national title game appearance. Right now they have 2 guaranteed losses (1 actual loss to Michigan and 1 loss-in-waiting to SC).

And this is the week where we will see how for real BYU is. I am really looking forward to that game.

Michigan State is god awful.

Most publications had them or Iowa predicted to finish 3rd or 4th in the Big 10.

This Boise/Fresno game isn't bad.

Fresno made a helluva comeback in the frst half. Let's see if they can continue it.

like that makes a whole f**k of a difference.

the big 11 is BARELY a step above the big east these days.

nice catch

he's in

Fresno refuses to go away.

Go Fresno!!

There's nothing wrong with that, they've beat 2 ranked opponents and it's Miami.

It honestly kind of bothers me how much Ryan Colburn looks like David Carr.

talk around the pundits has Harris as the #1 overall pick in the 2011 draft

Crazy

Holy. Shit.

WAC games, best games.

Bad break, keep chopping wood Fresno.

If miami can get past Vtech in blacksburg and beat a Bradfordless team at home, they can run the table.
