UCLA at Stanford tonight. Repeat of last week's game, which was a regularly scheduled conference game, only this time at Stanford.
I have to think Stanford will win this one, since they beat UCLA on the road and are now coming home. But there has been some thought that this will be a very even game, more than last week, because: A) UCLA didn't have anything to play for last week; their spot in the conference championship game was set, and they were already guaranteed to be on the road for it; B) Because UCLA didn't have anything to play for and knew they would play Stanford, they went very conservative in their playcalling, to show less to Stanford going into this game, which is for the Rose Bowl; and C) tThe old cliché, it's hard to beat a good opponent twice in the same season. That said, I just think Stanford is a more disciplined and experienced team which won the last week's game in the trenches, and that's a difficult liability to overcome (because, really, what has changed from last week?). UCLA has a young team and I don't think they're quite ready for that challenge. Still, if anyone told me before the season that UCLA would repeat as Pac 12 South champs and go to the Holiday or Alamo Bowl with (at least) 9 wins, including a win over USC, I would have gladly accepted that.

Man that game was great but depressing. We really had a few big plays, but that fake FG that was called back was huge. I mean, instead of 21-3, we punt and they score and it's 14-10...then 17-14 on the ensuing fumbled kick. The whole 3rd quarter was dead in the stadium.
We got no pressure on Bridgewater, his WR made the great (and routine) catches our guys didn't. And Flood running Jamison/Huggins in to the line every 1st down is getting old. It's seemed like Flood had 3 plays in the book...run straight, stretch run (where the OL get no blocks) and bomb. I actually thought we had a chance to tie it up when Nova got them to the 50 with a minute left and a timeout, but then the mixed up bomb that was picked. I don't know why Nova felt they had to get 40 yards on every pass play, but the middle was open with a minute left and 1 timeout...they should have used it.

Ugh...now seeing pictures that indicate that the ineligible man downfield call was blown. The flagged player appears within 3 yards of the LOS at the time the ball was thrown. WVU 2006 all over again.

Give it a year or two, there might be a last Big East football game anyone watches.

It's almost halftime in Coastal Carolina's playoff game at # 3 Old Dominion-and OD leads 28-21. It would be a monumental upset if Coastal pulled it off. I think they had the most losses of any team in the playoffs this season.
Edit: They were at the one yard line near halftime...and didn't score. Last edited by Thomkal : 12-01-2012 at 02:42 PM. |

See! You! L! A! SeeYouLA You! Guys! Suck! All kidding aside, that was a great effort by the Bruins, and you guys should feel happy with that coaching staff going forward. They had a brilliant gameplan, and yuckla should have won.

So Oregon State is playing Nicholls State this week (I assume its rescheduled from that LA hurricane in Week 2?). What would have happened if Nicholls made the FCS playoffs?

I'm all sorts of uncomfortable with 'Bama's chances in this game. At some point the uber talented but mentally flawed team flips the switch. I prefer it not being now.

Georgia may have flipped the switch after the USCe/Kentucky debacles, but there's no real way to tell because their schedule has been abysmal. They're lucky Alabama is viewed as such a good win that they'll automatically make the BCS title game if they win today, because other than that they only have 2 wins worth anything and I'd be tempted to put K-State, Oregon or even Florida into the title game over them.

They probably would have cancelled it, and Nicholls would have gotten a buyout-type sum for it. Same would have gone if Oregon State had won their division and played in the PAC-12 championship game. |

Alabama best find a way to score soon. The longer they leave Georgia in this game, the better the chances for an upset become.

I'm not even saying I'd definitely go for Florida over Georgia, but I don't think Georgia should be the lock for the title game that they will be with a win. Florida has more quality wins and K-State has beaten more decent teams. Fortunately for the Bulldogs, Alabama is regarded as a juggernaut and a win over them validates any team as elite. Quote:

The ref was looking right at it. People get pissed at me for being hard on the refs. The ref who was looking right at that play and didn't throw a flag should NEVER ref another football game again. He should be walked off the field at halftime. The Alabama player who had the cheap shot should be kicked out of this game and suspended for the next one. The powers that be in the NFL and college football both talk about safety, but refuse to do anything about it. A personal foul of that nature should have SEVERE consequences. If Bama ends up with a FG because of the 15 free yards, this will be a shame. |

'Bama up despite their numerous mental errors. If they play smart, it will be a fun second half. The fake punts have to be killing my Dad. He HATES Bobby Williams who coaches the special teams for 'Bama.

Monster drive by GA there. They needed to answer the last part of that second quarter. They did in a big way. Bama will have made adjustments as well. The D needs to step up to support what the offense just did. |

Well, can't complain about the missed personal with the missed call that lead to a blocked FG and TD. Did I mention how much my Dad hates Bobby Williams? Congrats on the title Georgia.

Huge play. If GA can somehow win, I will forgive Stanford for beating OR. Long way to go though.

Saw this on Twitter, from legendary WWE announcer (and uber college football fan) Jim Ross
Can only imagine how the late, great Larry Munson would be while calling #Bama vs #UGA. Classic, real passion & memorable descriptors. Ol' JR is right about that one. No matter my feeling about the Dawgs, Munson would have provided a call for the ages today.

I would be seeing the same thing if it happened FOR the team I wanted to win. People always forget that I go crazy even if the call goes for my team. As for that particular play, it was dangerous, cheap and the intent was to simply knock the QB out of the game. The ref saw this and chose to not call it. It was a disgusting call and it would have been just as disgusting had the hit been against the bama QB. If you disagree with my assessment, have at it. |

The only thing that concerns me when you get a team grounding and pounding like this is what happens when they are forced into a third and long. The QB is a little out of rhythm and converting in those situations becomes tough. I didn't think GA was going to stop them, but when they did on two consecutive plays the third down was missed. GA really needs some first downs here, even if they don't get a TD. Their defense badly needs a rest. |

Agree The back seemed to have a hole on that 3rd down play. Couldnt really tell if it was a poor effort by him or a great play by the bama tackler. |
