The implications of Friday for the Big East title are causing me to lose sleep.

Agreed. I'm not going to claim that MU-KU should be anywhere near the top, but it's a pretty heavy oversight to not put one of the longest (and most bitter) rivalries in college athletics on that list. |

I like to see the Holy War sitting in the top 25, but honestly with the PAC kicking the game out of November to Sept/Oct it sucks and looses it's luster. Hell, I couldn't even get excited for it this season. (Granted we got our asses handed to us)

Well, the sad fact is neither program has been great for close to a decade now. When that changes, all the other things that make it such a great rivalry should help propel it back onto the radar of college football fans. I doubt there are many rivalries that so perfectly encapsulate the differences within a state - geographically, politically and socially.

The sad thing is UH football is fairly scandalous. They just get away with a whole lot. Underground gambling is really fucking big out there and there is no doubt in my mind something like this could be going on. Police investigating. Now I'm sure the NCAA will get involved. Craziness

I'll just throw the one name that if this is true I fully expect to be involved or even the leader of it. QB Bryant Moniz.

LOL. Only 3 teams in the nation have won fewer against the spread this year. Record is 3-7-1 ATS. 11-3 last year. Obviously it proves nothing. But if anything suspicious now.

LOL. They announce it a few hours ago and now they announce no investigation not enough info. Yes it was anonymous but damn that seems way to quick to shut it down.

Ah, ?"Hate Week" - aka the Best Time of the Year.
Florida State has surely disappointed. Time to get rid of Rick Trickett and go on a different philosophy for the O-Line. I know we are going to lose this game, but I just dread watching a game that features two highly incompetent offenses against each other. The final score very well could be 3-0 or 6-3. |

I think in terms of pure hatred and culture divide, UNLV/UNR belongs on that list. But in terms of football quality noteworthiness or length, it doesn't, which is why I can understand why it's not.

Whatever the final score of the game tomorrow, UT can claim the ultimate win. The first lines of the University of Texas fight song are:
Texas Fight! Texas Fight! And it's goodbye to A&M

Here's what the Texas Longhorn band did for their halftime show:
and played "Thanks For The Memories". The A&M band followed, made a longhorn formation, and sawed the horns off.

Texas State and UT-San Antonio will move up from the FCS to the WAC next season. Plus Rice is in Houston. Those teams pretty much made up the Southwest Conference.

Thanks
Figured I would miss atleast one and I didnt realize the other two were getting a bump next year. It is amazing all of the talent Texas kicks out of their system each year. They are feeding all of these schools and many others that try to tap into their state. |

I am so excited. Time to start a new tradition.
30 years ago this season, Iowa was coming off 19 staright losing seasons. In the previous season we traveled to Lincoln and Nebraska waxed us 57-0. Nebraska was on tap for our home opener in 1981. Iowa had 9 defensive starters that were seniors or 5th year seniors, including Andre Tippett and Bob Stoops. Our punter was Reggie Roby. Iowa stayed together as a team over the summer, which at the time was rare. Not like today. They worked and prepared. Nebraska came into the game ranked 7th and 16 point favorites. Iowa came into the game with a chip on their shoulders. It was time to end the losing. It was hard-hitting defensive battle. Iowa led at half time 10-0. We were shutting out one of the best offensive teams in the nation. Roger Craig was their running back. Dave Rimington was at center. Imagine seeing that score. It would be like kansas leading LSU at half 10-0 today. But Iowa had led big names in seasons past, including a #1 ranked Oklahoma team the previous season (If memory serves). Nebraska scored a TD in the 3rd. 10-7. Missed a FG. Iowa could do nothing on offense. Late in the 4th Nebraska recovered a fumble on our 41. But did nothing. Iowa won the game 10-7. A huge upset. This game is considered the game that turned the program around. We finished 8-4 that season, but beat Michigan as well. We went tot he Rose Bowl that year. But UCLA waxed us. This game still gives me goose bumps. I grew up in Coralville, which borders Iowa City. I suffered through all most of the losing seasons. I was a Freshman in HS when we beat Nebraska that year. Still a great memory. Go Hawks! |

Louisville looks completely out of sorts. And they have a chance to win the BigEast and be a BCS rep. At 7-5.

They said something interesting at ESPN - apparently ALL 8 teams in the Big East can possibly be Bowl Eligible. The record of the worst teams in the BE is 5-5.

It's going to be sweet having Louisville represent the Big East in the BCS.
I guess on the bright side, WVU could possibly win out play in a crappy bowl and get to 10 wins, which would probably get us a nice ranking to begin with next season. |

Taylor Martinez is horrible as a passing QB. Its not news, but his mechanics are middle school grade.
That being said, hes playing better than Opie, whos being shutout by one of the poorest excuses for a Blackshirt Defense in years. This game is BRUTAL to watch, and Im turning it off before the 4Q even starts.

Arkansas is the only team in the SEC whose total offense national rank is better than its total defense national rank.
Yet another example of ESSSS EEEEE SEEEEEE speed on defense just overwhelming everyone. Or sec offenses underwhelming. You make the call. |

Well, Missouri and aTm are 7th and 11th right now in total offense, and I'll guess both of those drop precipitously next year (or 2013).

Holy shit. if even 10% of what I'm hearing from a decent source is true, Hawaii or at least the players involved are completely fucked.

Houston wins the supposedly "toughest game" 48-16 on the road.
Case Keenum with 457 yards and 5 TDs. I donīt know much about college football, but has a similar player ever won the Heisman ? (ridiculous numbers on unbeaten team outside the big conferences and with a very weak schedule) Also, has he got any chance to be successfull in the NFL ? |

Arkansas needs to go and get at least a FG before the half to rebuild some confidence.
