NCAA Week 12 discussion

[JeeberD]

UTEP can wrap up CUSA West today with a victory against UAB today. So we already have plenty of incentive to go out there and play a good game, but you gotta love when your opponent gives you even more incentive with some serious bulletin board material... :D

http://video.wjla.com/abc3340/UABonUTEP.wmv

[Airhog]

Should be a great game down in lubbock today. I am hoping that OU can win today, and jump back into the top 25

[Greyroofoo]

Michigan and Michigan State shall carry the day......

[cthomer5000]

Rutgers rooting interests:

Go South Florida (over Cincinnati)
Go Notre Dame (over Syracuse)

[st.cronin]

Rutgers rooting interests:

Go South Florida (over Cincinnati)
Go Notre Dame (over Syracuse)

I think both of those are mortal locks. Particularly NOTRE DAME over syracuse

[cthomer5000]

I think both of those are mortal locks. Particularly NOTRE DAME over syracuse
Yeah, things are shaping up quite nicely for Rutgers to back into a bowl bid. Still, I really want them to win next week so that I can actually feel good about the season.

[GrantDawg]

Georgia just pulled a fake punt. I love watching a punter run for 30+ yards.

[Joe]

Iowa is up on Minnesota 38-7 at the half. Ugh. Guess I'll have to be content with a 7-4 season.

[cthomer5000]

South Florida up 10-7 over Cincinnati at halftime. They're making me sweat a little, and I don't like it.

[JeeberD]

Was that Thomas Brown with a long TD run for Georgia? Just caught the end of the highlight on ABC...

Edit: Nevermind, just checked teh box and it was Danny Ware. :(

[JeeberD]

Dola-

Come on OU, beat the hell out of Tech!

[GrantDawg]

Coutu just hit a 56 yarder to end the half. Wow, that guy can kck the long ones.

[JeeberD]

Dammit, BC and TT have both increased their leads... :mad:

[Noop]

No one talking about Michigan and Ohio State?

[cthomer5000]

No one talking about Michigan and Ohio State?
it has its own thread

[JeeberD]

Plus it's a boring game...

[Noop]

Yeah but there are like 3 recent posts and people are talking about who is the bigger rival game.

[JonInMiddleGA]

Blech ... UGA rolling over Kentucky, 45-6 with 9 minute left (and driving again)

Tenn. & Vandy are 21-21 with 10 mins left, UT inside the Commie 20.

[Honolulu_Blue]

Yeah but there are like 3 recent posts and people are talking about who is the bigger rival game.
Actually, I think fans of both teams are a bit too focused on the game and nervous to bother posting constant updates here. At least that's the situation for me.

[Airhog]

Sooners take the lead with 1:34 to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Chubby]

SU blocks the ND chipshot FG to keep the 3-0 lead. I called this yesterday at work, we'll be up by a few or close (within 7-10) for most of the game then get blown out in the 4th due to dumb mistakes. Hope I'm wrong but shaping up that way so far...

[JeeberD]

Sooners take the lead with 1:34 to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Oh hell yes! :D

[Airhog]

man peterson just manhandled that DB to score the touchdown

[JeeberD]

Sweet, I just found teh game on tv. Glad I'll be able to see the last minute and a half...

[JeeberD]

Dude totally caught that short of the first...

[JeeberD]

BOOO!

[JeeberD]

Didn't he drop that ball?

[JeeberD]

HE NEVER HAD FUCKING POSSESSION!!!!!!

[Airhog]

1 bad call, OU self destructs. 1 play left, and I don't think they hold TT

[JeeberD]

He was short, goddammit?

[JeeberD]

Fuck

fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck

[Airhog]

Dammit!

[Airhog]

talk about totally self destruction....

[Airhog]

I have to firmly believe that the ref's did not cost OU this game. If you take care of business, then you should have nothing to worry about. OU had many attempts to stop TT from scoring to win, and they just could not get it done...

[Airhog]

One question I have though. How hard would it be to put a camera at the 1st down marker on both sides of the field? If your going to use replay in football, you should at least have some cameras pointed at critical spots on the field...

[Noop]

Its has not been a good year for Oklahoma. But then again my beloved Noles are just about the worst coached team in america.

[Cuckoo]

One question I have though. How hard would it be to put a camera at the 1st down marker on both sides of the field? If your going to use replay in football, you should at least have some cameras pointed at critical spots on the field...

My thoughts exactly. Hey, I agree that OU blew their chance in the game. But I firmly believe that both of those calls were bad ones. The tipped ball was a reception, but TT got a very good spot, better than it should've been. And they wouldn't overrule it for a few inches, but a few inches would've given the game to OU.

And from what I saw, Henderson was down before he extended that ball. I think if they had a camera on the other side, they'd see that he was short by several inches.

[JonInMiddleGA]

Vanderbilt 28-24 over Tennessee, snapping a 23 year losing streak (2nd longest active streak ... until today).

[JonInMiddleGA]

Auburn 14-0 on Alabama

[JonInMiddleGA]

Make that 21-0 Auburn, still 4 mins left in the 1st

[JonInMiddleGA]

[st.cronin]

Did Alabama forget to suit up their Offensive Line?

[JonInMiddleGA]

Oh ... My ... Goodness

Very late in the 3rd quarter, huge underdog Tabor leads Graceland by 10 & just forced their 4th turnover of the game, stopping a drive that had taken the ball inside the Bluejay 20.

Listen live at
http://www.tabor.edu/athletics/stream/tcfootball.asx

edit to add -- best I can tell from the p-b-p, Tabor scored 17 points in the 1st quarter, all set up by turnovers. It's 17-7, under a minute in the 3rd.

Damn ... while I'm typing, Graceland hits a 40 yd TD pass :(

[JonInMiddleGA]

Still 17-14 Tabor ... Bluejays trying to grind it out, trying to keep the ball away from Graceland ... less than 6 minutes to play.

edit to add -- 4:55 left, back to back passing first downs for Tabor, catching Graceland off guard ... and now back to the run ... on 3rd down, Tabor decides to throw for the end zone & misses ... 3:08 left, 4th down ... ouch :( Missed a field goal ... Graceland ball at their own 24, 2 TO's left for them, none left for Tabor ... now 2nd & 7, misting rain ... incomplete swing pass, 3rd & 7 at the 27 ... WR hangs on after a big hit, 1st down at the 36 ... 2:40 left ... swing pass to the RB, gets a few & gets out of bounds ... missed tackle at midfield, Graceland all the way down to the 31 ... 1:51 to play ... WR open but drops it, 2nd down, 1:47 to play ... pass complete and DROPPED ... 3rd & 10 now ... Graceland takes a TO to avoid a motion penalty ... On 3rd & 10, got a man open at the 10 AND ITS THROUGH HIS HANDS ... 4th & 10 from the 31 ... Back to pass, scrambling, has to run ... he's close, he's SHORT !!! Stopped him at the 22 ! Bluejays ball !

1:22 to play ... hand off to Butler gets a couple of yards, Graceland takes their final timeout ... hand off to Butler, gets outside, forced out of bounds at the 30 ... 3rd down, clock stopped ... gives it to Butler, FIRST DOWN to the 35 ... 1:05 on the clock ... 1st KCAC playoff win since '98 ... Ishida takes a knee, gets ready to do it one more time ... It's over, Bluejays win !

[st.cronin]

That was an outstanding camera angle on that blocked kick in Sparty Stadium.

[JonInMiddleGA]

Auburn is 28-7 over 'Bama at the half.
Brandon Cox is 13/15 for 124 yds & 2 TD's.
Brodie Croyle is 5/10 for 29 yds & been sacked 7 times.

[st.cronin]

Brodie Croyle is 5/10 for 29 yds & been sacked 7 times.

Is he a senior, or will Alabama have him next year?

[JonInMiddleGA]

Is he a senior, or will Alabama have him next year?

Senior.

[JonInMiddleGA]

28-10 Auburn, 4 mins left in the 3rd qtr. Croyle sacked 9 times (and counting).

[Young Drachma]

In Division III action, Monmouth (IL) in their first ever national playoff appearance got blown out by St. John's (MN) 62-3. How embarassing. Ouch.

[digamma]

I'd like to congratulate the Yale Bulldogs for actually making The Game a game this year.

Five in a row, baby!!!

[GrantDawg]

After Croyle's 11th sack, I think he is just trying to prove to the pro scouts he is durable. :)

[ISiddiqui]

Unless a miracle happens, Penn State has won the Big 10 (and a BCS berth). I didn't think Joe Pa could do it, but wow... props to him.

[Passacaglia]

This woman interviewing JoePa is wearing a pink and white "Coach" hat.

[ISiddiqui]

LOL.. have to give it up the ESPN Gameday guys (2nd team). The host (Reece Davis?) was saying stay turned for the Miami v. GTech game and they showed Miami. He then says "Oh no, not them too, with the orange thing on the shoulder" (paraphrased). I 100% agree!

[st.cronin]

Unless a miracle happens, Penn State has won the Big 10 (and a BCS berth). I didn't think Joe Pa could do it, but wow... props to him.

I *still* don't understand why Penn State is in the Big 10, but, yes, congratulations Nittany Lions.

I also *still* don't know what a nittany lion is.

[st.cronin]

dola

The Georgia Tech cheer squad looks like they're wearing lingerie.

[GrantDawg]

Wow. Could those uniforms look worse?

[miami_fan]

10-7 Miami at the half. I am getting real tired of these slow starts especially by the O-line. It is like they don't get the idea until Kehoe starts throwing shit at halftime.

Ome more thing. Calvin Johnson would look real good in a Dolphin uniform in a couple years. He is a hell of a receiver

[digamma]

From the GT perspective, this thing seems like a ticking time bomb. Our O-line is completely outclassed, and as long as UM picks up the blitz, Wright will be able to find mismatches in the secondary.

That said, Eric Henderson is wearing out the left side of the Cane O-line.

[st.cronin]

It seems to me that the GT O-line is tipping the play. I've been pretty succesful guessing the play pre-snap watching on tv.

[digamma]

The playbook is pretty limited to begin with, but I'm not at all surprised to hear than an outsider can successfully guess them.

[st.cronin]

Yeah, this is the first time I've watched them play, but I think I guessed the first five plays just looking at the formation. I don't just mean guessing pass/run, but run left/right or pass short/deep.

No doubt. I don't know if Winston has recovered from his knee injury from last year but he has steadily regressed from a 1st round LT to a guy who may need to be switch to the right side or to guard

[Buccaneer]

Jeeber ain't happy right now.

[miami_fan]

Miami only has 22 yards rushing! YIKES

[st.cronin]

I'm guessing that Kyle Wright is about 7-24 right now. He's been awful.... not that it's all his fault.

[miami_fan]

Johnson again! Damn!

[st.cronin]

Bout time they threw a flag ... Miami dbs have gotten away with murder in this game.

[miami_fan]

That was a BULLSHIT call!

[miami_fan]

Where exactly was the hold?

[JonInMiddleGA]

Stat lines look like a real QB clinic

Georgia Tech Comp Att Yds Pct Y/A Sack YdsL TD Int
R. Ball 11 25 162 44.0 6.5 0 0 0 0
Miami (FL) Comp Att Yds Pct Y/A Sack YdsL TD Int
K. Wright 9 20 117 45.0 5.9 0 0 1 0

[st.cronin]

Ball has actually played quite well, imo. He's had to throw the ball away quite a bit in order to avoid sacks.

Wright's been pretty bad, although he's been under a lot of pressure as well.

[miami_fan]

Thank you #9
Now come on Offense put together a drive

[st.cronin]

Bad idea to bet the game on your offense's ability to get a first down at this point.

[Glengoyne]

I'm taking the Bulldogs and the points. Not that I think they'll need them.


Edit to add that we need a tongue in cheek smiley.

[miami_fan]

Damn this is depressing

[Radii]

just caught up on TIVO, holy shit go Tech!! 3 muffed punts and 2 missed field goals could still come back to haunt them though. :(

[st.cronin]

hahahahahahahaha STUPIDEST PUNT RETURN EVER

[Celeval]

78 YARDS! ARNDT!

[Radii]

uhh, so they're even on stupid special teams plays? Wow.

[miami_fan]

Come On Offense!

[Radii]

INT INT INT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[miami_fan]

FUCK!

[Celeval]

Beautiful

[VPI97]

Best. day. ever.

[Celeval]

Ball does a nice job lowering the shoulder there.

[st.cronin]

Great game ... I'm shocked GaTech could stay with Miami, much less pull off the upset. I figured this game for a blowout.

[mauchow]

uhh, so they're even on stupid special teams plays? Wow.
While it did look like a boneheaded play, it may have been a good one too..

There was a guy cruising in around the 5 yard line when the ball was still moving at a brisk pace on the 1-2 yard line, the ball could have taken a little higher hop allowing GT to slap it back in to the 1 yard line. The announcers were a little quick to call it a mental error.

Plus, the guy wanted to make something happen, which is what Miami needed big time.

Yeah - I really thought it was going to get stopped just before the line, until that last bounce.

[miami_fan]

Congrats to GT and their fans. I guess Chan is worth that extension after all. Tough loss for the Canes. The offense is based on the running game and when you can only run for 29 yards. We really seemed to miss Tyrone Moss in this game.

[Radii]

Best. day. ever.

you're welcome ;)

[FBPro]

Wow, never expected GT to have a chance.....

[GrantDawg]

Great game ... I'm shocked GaTech could stay with Miami, much less pull off the upset. I figured this game for a blowout.
I really wish I'd put money on the game. It had upset written all over it. GT has had a horrible week, with the probation and even their AD saying they shouldn't expect much from the team. It had to have the team itching to prove something. Whereas Miami wasn't feeling threatened at all.

[kingfc22]

SC-Fresno St. game is a good one so far.

[Karlifornia]

Fresno looks for real so far. Poor USC has no linebackers left.

[JW]

Meanwhile, LSU quietly beats Ole Miss 40-7 and will move up one more spot with the Miami loss. If LSU wins out (they have to beat Arkansas at LSU Friday and then Georgia in the SECCG), and if anyone at the top gets upset, you could be looking at LSU in the Rose Bowl. An outside chance, sure, but possible. The name of the game is not to lose late in the season.

[st.cronin]

Agreed. I actually figured Miami had about a 50/50 shot at sneaking in if they had won out, figuring Texas still has the Big XII championship game (remember OU vs. Kansas State a couple years back?) and USC still has 2 teams with a combined 2 losses on their schedule.

[mauchow]

Maybe PSU can sneak ahead of LSU with that big win. They should gain a few points in the polls, but probably not enough to overtake LSU in any of them.

[JonInMiddleGA]

Meanwhile, Clemson beats South Carolina 13-9.

[Eaglesfan27]

Fresno looks for real so far. Poor USC has no linebackers left.
Not to mention having to use a Safety at CB. However, I give Fresno State credit for playing a great game so far.

[st.cronin]

3 straight fullback runs of about a foot each to convert a 2nd and 1. I don't think I've ever seen that...

[kingfc22]

TD Fresno St.

[Eaglesfan27]

Fresno State leading 20-10 now (with XP pending.) I'm definitely concerned..

[miami_fan]

WOW I like the play calling by the Bulldogs coaching staff right now. I hope they remain this agressive for the whole game

[JW]

Maybe PSU can sneak ahead of LSU with that big win. They should gain a few points in the polls, but probably not enough to overtake LSU in any of them.

That is possible, too. LSU folks are already crunching LSU and PSU BCS numbers. We could well have another BCS controversy if LSU and PSU win out and something happens to USC and/or Texas. Which counts more, hurricane sympathy for LSU or old coach sympathy for PSU? The SECCG also helps, assuming LSU beats Arkansas and can win the SECCG impressively (a very tall order indeed).

[RedKingGold]

Maybe PSU can sneak ahead of LSU with that big win. They should gain a few points in the polls, but probably not enough to overtake LSU in any of them.

Well....keep in mind that the BCS computers have PSU 3rd already. I believe that you will see PSU 3rd in the BCS polls this week.

Also keep in mind that Alabama lost again today while Ohio State won,....that has gotta help with the computers

[kingfc22]

Wow, I thought that was a fumble

[st.cronin]

If USC and Texas both lose, all hell will break lose. Naturally, I am rooting for that scenario.

[vtbub]

PSU's regular season is done.

[TazFTW]

Who throws a shoe?

[Karlifornia]

Fresno State athletes aren't always classy. See: Jerry Tarkanian's teams

[st.cronin]

USC should absolutely take the figgie here.

I hope they go for it.

[Swaggs]

If USC loses, I cannot wait to the 1-loss Trojans behind 2-loss Notre Dame.

[TazFTW]

Fresno leads USC 21-13 at the half.


Go you beautiful WAC bastards!

[Glengoyne]

WOW I like the play calling by the Bulldogs coaching staff right now. I hope they remain this agressive for the whole game
I expect more of the same.

[JW]

PSU's regular season is done.

And that helps LSU if LSU continues to win. A big LSU win against Arkansas followed by a big win in the SECCG (a very big if, granted), just like in 2003, could give LSU just the edge it needs to take 2nd in the BCS rankings if Tx or USC lose (two more big if's). That would influence both human voters and the computers. And LSU continues to get better. The defense is very good right now, and the offense, though it continues to stumble, keeps showing flashes of greatness.

[Glengoyne]

Who throws a shoe?
I had to do a double take on that myself. "Was that a shoe?", "Oh crap did Marshall throw that?"

Fresno is fired up. I was telling people earlier this week that if any team in college football could look past the Bulldogs, it would be USC.

Bush continues to be pretty amazing. How can Lienart continue to be considered the Heisman favorite when he isn't even close to the best player on his own team?

[GoldenEagle]

Memphis wins to keep the bowl hopes alive. If we beat Marshall at home next week, we will be going to a bowl game for the third straight year.

[Glengoyne]

The Bookies in Fresno are hating life right now. The action was incredibly one sided, and the Dogs are up by eight at the half. The twenty four points SC was laying are looking awfully big right now.

[Eaglesfan27]

Reggie Bush just had a sick run.

[kingfc22]

Reggie = HEISMAN

No doubt about it.

[Eaglesfan27]

Touchdown USC. If they can convert the 2, we'll have a tie game.

Interesting, they decide to kick the XP instead.

[st.cronin]

I like how the announcers say "Fresno State is still in it."

[ISiddiqui]

Reggie Bush is a monster.

[st.cronin]

Not a bad "punt" by the Bulldog QB.

[Eaglesfan27]

Ting with an interception and the momentum is clearly swinging back towards USC.

[Eaglesfan27]

Bush busts off a huge TD to put USC ahead!!!

[kingfc22]

Reggie Bush is dominating this game.

[Eaglesfan27]

That gives Bush 198 yards on just 12 carries :)

[st.cronin]

Holy crap is Reggie Bush fast.

[st.cronin]

How is it that Reggie Bush doesn't have a great nickname??? That man needs a cool nickname...

[ISiddiqui]

How is it that Reggie Bush doesn't have a great nickname??? That man needs a cool nickname...Have you not heard anyone call him "The President"?

[kingfc22]

This is getting ugly fast for Fresno.

[Bearcat729]

Say goodnight Fresno

[Eaglesfan27]

Bing with another interception and a TD return!

However, it looks like the return might not count.

[Celeval]

Well that game turned around awfully quick.

[st.cronin]

Have you not heard anyone call him "The President"?

I have not heard that, but anyway it's not cool enough.

[Karlifornia]

USC makes adjustments at halftime better than any team I've ever seen. Last year, Stanford was up 28-17 at half and Trent Edwards was looking great. Then, USC turned it on in the second half and won. It happened against ASU, Oregon, and now Fresno.

[Klinglerware]

I'd like to congratulate the Yale Bulldogs for actually making The Game a game this year.

Five in a row, baby!!!

Yeah, I went to the game today. As someone with no rooting interests on either side, it was a fun game to watch. There was of course the ambiance (rivalry game, crowd size that could reasonably pass for 1-A, ridiculous scramble bands, etc.). As for the game, the 4th quarter comeback made things interesting, and even though I'm not a big fan of OT, I have to admit that the triple overtime was riveting. By the third overtime, the sun had dipped below the horizon and we were wondering how much longer they would let the game go, since the Yale bowl does not have lights...

Oh yeah, congrats to the Brown Bears for taking their first outright Ivy football championship. Nick Hartigan, candidate for both a Rhodes Scholarship and the Payton Award, again had a monster game: 229 yards rushing and 3 TDs against hapless Columbia.

[kingfc22]

Well, well, well.

[TazFTW]

Nice answer Fresno.

[kingfc22]

What a return! What a game.

[TazFTW]

Nice punt return for Fresno. Also had one of the weirdest blocks.

[Karlifornia]

Oh, damn. Here we go.

[Eaglesfan27]

Sheesh. Fresno State is running all over USC.

[Booj]

This is going to be one heck of a finish...

[Eaglesfan27]

Huge interception on the goal line by USC!

[kingfc22]

Ewww, poor decision there. At least get 3 points.

[Karlifornia]

Huge pic. Does Fresno's defense have another stop in them?

[kingfc22]

What a run by Bush

[Eaglesfan27]

That was an amazing cut by Bush on another long TD run!!!

[TazFTW]

Wow. Bush for Heisman.

[Karlifornia]

Holy.Fucking.Shit.

[kingfc22]

WOW

[Celeval]

Reggie Bush is indescribable

[MikeVic]

I'm so glad TheScore is showing the game here. Bush is awesome.

[Eaglesfan27]

His runs tonight have seemed like NCAA 2006 video game runs ;)

[Celeval]

Reggie Bush looks like he's playing NCAA 2006 on Varsity level.

[mauchow]

Ughh!

That is sickening. It's like he had two inches to stop before running out of bounds, he tip-toed the sideline and made a cut with the tip of his toes. lol

I think he'll be one of the top draft picks................. :)

[kingfc22]

396 AP yards tonight.

[Ragone]

I am not gonna watch this game anymore.. they aren't calling obvious holding calls on usc.. for god sakes the blocker was holding onto the guys leg on that last run

[kingfc22]

Fresno St. needs to score a TD here.

[kingfc22]

QB draw? What a bad play call IMO.

[Karlifornia]

It's interesting how Pinegar is basically sitting down under center before taking the snap.

[kingfc22]

Nice throw and catch for the TD.

[TazFTW]

Nice grab.

[st.cronin]

It's interesting how Pinegar is basically sitting down under center before taking the snap.

I've been trying to figure out what possible benefit that could be.

[Eaglesfan27]

Very nice catch on the TD by Fresno State.

[kingfc22]

I smell a "homer" call coming.

[Ragone]

hehe if that was a usc touchdown.. it wouldn't have even been reviewed

besides that.. it should be pass intereference

[kingfc22]

besides that.. it should be pass intereference
Exactly

[Eaglesfan27]

No "homer" call.

[Radii]

it sucks that i don't get this game on TV, argh!

[TazFTW]

Fumble!

[timmynausea]

oh boy.

[Glengoyne]

it sucks that i don't get this game on TV, argh!
I was under the impression that this game was going to be on ESPN. I came home tonight with the pizza, and found it on Fox Sports. I went straight to the Direct TV website, and ordered me the Sports Pack.


Now if Fresno can stop Bush.

[Karlifornia]

BUSH FUMBLES!!!!!!!

[Eaglesfan27]

Terrible time for Bush to fumble. Oh well, he isn't perfect. Time for the defense to make a big play..

[Ragone]

whoops.. hope he doesn't fumble the heisman like that

[kingfc22]

Mr. Heisman fumbles it away.

[TazFTW]

TD Fresno!!!

[jbmagic]

damn


USC fumble the kick return.

oh fresno has a chance


damn one play fresno scores a touchdown.

fresno 42-41 over USC

[CHEMICAL SOLDIER]

[kingfc22]

[GoldenEagle]

TD FRESNO!!!!

[kingfc22]

Time for Bush to make amends on this next drive.

[CHEMICAL SOLDIER]

Is this game regional or Natl. coverage? Im getting it on FSN 2.

[kingfc22]

I have it on FSN

[Glengoyne]

It worked before.

Now if Fresno can stop Bush.

[st.cronin]

WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED??? ??? ????

It was 41-28 ... I go potty ... I come back and it's 42-41 dawgs????

??

[CHEMICAL SOLDIER]

Personal foul on USC.

[TazFTW]

Personal foul on Bush!

[jbmagic]

is this going to be the biggest upset in history if USC lose

[kingfc22]

Lame penalty IMO

[kingfc22]

There he goes again.

[jbmagic]

go USC go

[CHEMICAL SOLDIER]

ND over UCLA is (basketball) considered the greatest upset of all time. You could also go with ND's 1913 upset over army.

[kingfc22]

How do you not put at least 2 guys on him every play?

[MikeVic]

Bwahaha. See that old man in the crowd with his jersey tucked in, and a belt that has pants coming out over the top of it?

[CHEMICAL SOLDIER]

Was the LB on him on that play?

[kingfc22]

Looking ahead a bit. If SC scores a TD, do you go for 2?

I would to get up by 7.

[kingfc22]

502 yds tonight for Bush. LMAO!!!!

[Eaglesfan27]

I'd go for 2. Hopefully, USC will be facing that decision soon.

[CHEMICAL SOLDIER]

That was the slowest run out of bounds ever.

[jbmagic]

no need to go for two.

if USC scores, there defense will come up big and stop fresno

[CHEMICAL SOLDIER]

These announcers are just attrocious.

[kingfc22]

White needs to be careful sticking the ball out like that.

Umm, on a second look that was a TD.

[st.cronin]

ND over UCLA is (basketball) considered the greatest upset of all time. You could also go with ND's 1913 upset over army.

You're obviously not an (Olympic) hockey fan.

[Eaglesfan27]

Yeah, you can see his knees aren't down. Looks like a TD.

[CHEMICAL SOLDIER]

You're obviously not an (Olympic) hockey fan.
Those too. ;)

[kingfc22]

He said "penetrated". :D

F Digger Phelps


And PAC_10 refs are horrible as many of you are learning

[jbmagic]

USC DEFENSE better come up big now

[CHEMICAL SOLDIER]

2 pt conversoin fails.

[MrBug708]

If only Mathias had shown this much promise at UCLA

[Glengoyne]

2 pt conversoin fails.
I think USC's two point play should be "Pitch the ball to Bush, and tell him not to get tackled."

Lets go Dogs.

[Eaglesfan27]

Great defensive play by USC.

[Karlifornia]

Big defensive play there.

[kingfc22]

The defense comes up huge for USC

[Eaglesfan27]

Jackson is a beast :)

[kingfc22]

Now Fresno St. has to hold them to a FG

[Karlifornia]

Now Fresno St. has to hold them to a FG

Somehow I doubt that will happen.

[Glengoyne]

The dream dies.

Oh well I wonder how far we fall in the rankings.

[jbmagic]

white or bush will get the rushing td

[kingfc22]

Big 3rd down play here.

[MikeVic]

365lbs.?!?!? That can't be healthy.

[kingfc22]

The dream dies.
It's not over yet.

[Karlifornia]

Wow. They did it.

[Glengoyne]

Was the LB on him on that play?
Oh just figured out which play you were talking about...No. No linebacker on the screen in any of those clips. The safety bit to the out pattern, and Bush blew past him.

[kingfc22]

OT anyone?

[Eaglesfan27]

Fresno State has been very impressive tonight.. big stop for them.

[jbmagic]

50-42

8 point lead. that my homeboy san pedro, ca the usc kicker

[st.cronin]

The dream dies.

Oh well I wonder how far we fall in the rankings.

If Fresno State falls in the rankings after this I will never take the rankings seriously again.

[kingfc22]

I wonder if Fresno St. can use this game as a jumpstart to push their program to the next level.

[kingfc22]

If Fresno State falls in the rankings after this I will never take the rankings seriously again.
Agreed. Fresno should definately be ranked ahead of TCU

[kingfc22]

Time is ticking fellas.

[kingfc22]

What the hell are these zebras doing!?!

They just wasted 40 seconds.

[kingfc22]

So a timeout was called, yet no time gets put back on the clock.http://dynamic.gamespy.com/%7Efof/forums/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Eaglesfan27]

One more defensive play and the game should be over. 4th and 7 for Fresno.

[kingfc22]

First down.

[Eaglesfan27]

Darn. Fresno State converts it.

[TazFTW]

Nice play.

[kingfc22]

All the way down to the 25 of USC.

[st.cronin]

Win or lose, Fresno State fans have to be delighted with this.
