LSU just went down 6 to Alabama. If the Tigers can come back all that is needed is Florida or Texas to lose for Boise, Cincy, or TCU to get in there.
Oregon isn't dead yet. down 2 scres with 8 to play. Great. Ohio State gets the Rose Bowl. |

I don't think I could wish anything worse on someone than for them to be an SEC official right now.

Well, Ponder is out at least for the Wake game with a separated shoulder. I say if they can't beat Wake, then let EJ Manuel play out the rest of 2009. Let Ponder sit and heal the rest of the season, and come back to a completely upperclassmen O-Line, and maybe a defense that can stop teams from scoring more than 30 points a game. Plus it gives EJ some good experience that he hasn't been able to get because all the games have been so close. It's been a disappointing season, but you have to drive by the dump before you get to the mansion (a John Madden quote).

Oh, and to preface before I post this picture--FSU fans generally dislike UM and UF. However, I've always really disliked Clemson the most, mainly because I've felt they had some of the dirtiest players ever. Then I saw this pic from Saturday night's game, and it didn't do anything to change my mind.

I just saw the play and can't believe that went against LSU. I'm pretty much in the "SEC will stop at nothing to have Florida and Alabama in the title game" camp.

No.
Screw Bradley. Screw Hall. Screw Paterno. That was piss-poor play calling. Screw Clark. 12 for 28? Can we say choke? Screw Royster. 12 for 33 yards? It was our game to lose and we did it. I love my Nits beyond all reason, but this loss is completely on us.

Ponder is done. He's having surgery in 2 weeks, which will end his season. On the bright side, this probably means he's 100% coming back next year, and the offense should be just as good if not better in 2010. If the new DC can even make a little improvement over this year, next season could be fun, especially with the trip to OU early on.

Apparently you can't spell delinquent without UT.

At least it won't be against U$C.

What's it going to take to get them booted from the top 25? 3 losses, 2 of them badly and the other to a 3-7 Washington team.
Shame about the other USC. |

Holy shit, FSU won at Wake with the 2nd string QB. Unbelievable.
And I was listening to the USC game on the way to a party, and after Harbaugh tried to go for 2 points, the announcers talked about nothing but how classless Harbaugh was, and complained about him being obnoxious and short with the media earlier in the week, and how USC "would remember this next year" and horseshit like that. I was laughing, thinking, "Yeah, because USC has never run it up on anyone else, let alone Stanford." They would tell you the bare essentials about the game, then continue to complain about Harbaugh. |

Am I the only one who thinks that ball went forward not because of Clausen trying to throw it but because of the defender knocking it forward?

How the hell is Ohio State ranked so high in the BCS rankings? They certainly shouldn't be ahead of Oregon, who beat a USC team that beat Ohio State. It's almost as if the pollsters figured they won a conference title, so they need to be top 10.

Speaking as an OSU alum, I'm not a big fan of Tressel Ball. It's grindingly boring even if it gets the job done most of the time. It also is so predictable that if you have the talent on the field, you can outplay it. That's why we've lost so many big games on the national stage. Most fans here in Columbus agree. We're gunshy of the big games now rather than confident. We have the talent on the field but our coaching is crippling us. It's like playing for a tie rather than going for the gold.

Speaking of Oregon, it was really weird to see ESPN giving all the scenarios for 4 different teams to win the Pac-10...and USC was NOT one of the 4 teams.

That was what FSU did with Charlie Ward. They ran a very conventional pro-style offense, and Ward came in and threw like 8 INTs in 6 quarters. Then in the 4th quarter of the Ga. Tech game, they started running a sort of no-huddle offense to try and catch up, allowing Ward to run whenever he saw fit to, and FSU came back and won the game. From then on, they scrapped the regular system and ran the "fast break" offense with Ward, which continued beyond Ward until Weinke came and they changed it back to more of a classic no-huddle. Playing to your player's strengths is what makes good teams. Trying to fit a square peg into a round hole hurts the player and team.
Strangely enough, everyone concerned may have been better off if Pryor had gone to Michigan instead of OSU, as RichRod would have let him go crazy. |

And yes, Pryor at Michigan would have the OSU fans that think the Pryor Experiment a failure pissing themselves.
