As long as OSU beats Michigan I could care less about this season. As long as we are #1 thats even better.

You can't be #1 when UT beats ya!

Texas is going to get owned.

No disrespect to Texas, but their quarterback has yet to lead his team into a game of this magnitude. OSU's QB has the decided edge. However, I'm not going to predict anything, because like Lindercles said, I'd probably be wrong!

Could someone clarify something for me? I heard something in passing about the t.u. QB getting arrested on Monday. I didn't hear anything else or see anything else about it, did that actually happen? If it did, suck it up texas!

I have two favorite teams. Texas A&M and anyone playing t.u.

I thought I heard that, too. Turns out it was the cornerback Tarell Brown. Which sounds better, but he's a starting senior who was going to be assigned to Ted Ginn.

He's out of jail, but suspended from the team. It definitely hurts.

You make a good point. But another thing to consider is that OSU's defense is young, with not very many returning starters. On the other hand, the quarterback position is the only question for the UT offense. Every other position is deep and experienced. We've got one of the best O lines in the country.

Truth is, it's going to be an excellent game, and (as long as I'm speaking honestly) it's going to be a toss up. I'll be happy as long as it's a good game.

That said, OHIO STATE SUCKS! HOOK 'EM!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I really thought I heard QB...thanks for clearing it up.

--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

[Lindercles 0]

You probably did. I'm sure the bass ackwards aggie information network came up with that one somewhere along the line.

(you started it)

[AggieDave 6]

Ok, so what I heard is that the t.u. QB, CB and most of the defensive line have been arrested by Williamson County SO for living in austin and traveling into Williamson County.

(quasi-local-inside-joke)

--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

[Lindercles 0]

Last I heard Williamson County was arresting its own citizens for traveling into Austin as well.

But as long as we're talking about football indiscretions, well, people in glass houses, my friend...

People in glass houses sink ships...

Right?

Atleast that's what that movie about the Irish brothers taught me.

--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

[Lindercles 0]

Gangs of New York?

[AggieDave 6]

The Boondock Saints.

That's one of the sayings that the bartender said. "you know what they say, people in glass houses sink s-s-s-ships."

Oh, that's what it was? Really? Gee, I musta missed that one. I guess I shouldn't cross the road if I can't get out of the kitchen.

You all know...I almost couldnt care less who beats who as long as I could WATCH college football this year...Im stuck halfway around the world and doomed to reading about it the next day.

Here's to the Breezes that blows through the Trezzez.....

You're right.... with a great supporting cast, a new quarterback can breathe a bit easier, and let the plays happen.

Alabama's got a new starting quarterback this year but boy am I glad we have him, despite losing Croyle last year. John Parker Wilson, a sophomore, could be damn good in the next year or so. Our offensive line is much improved. Defense is younger but very fast. If we could improve our play selection on offense, we could actually beat teams by 20 and 30 points, not 3, 7 or 10 points...

Wilson won two state championships at Hoover High School, which is now featured on MTV's Two-A-Days this fall, and Hoover is currently the #1 ranked high school in the nation where his younger brother QB's the team. So I know he can handle the pressure of the big-time. Get the nation's #1 offensive lineman recruit, Andre Smith, a true freshman starter, up to speed, and he'll be better than Chris Samuels was in 1999 (never allowed a QB sack and blocked for Shaun Alexander, who is last year's NFL MVP).

Alabama is finally fully loaded for the first time in several years, so I'm anxious to see how we do in the next few weeks, but the road schedule is a killer. Everybody's saying watch for Bama next year anyway.

Yeah and what about those Dogs!!!

I am a huge Dawg fan. I am go to almost every game. As a matter of fact I am headed to Augusta tomorrow night for the "Border Bash" then Columbia Saturday morning only to be surrounded by "dirty cocks"...

Anyway, personally, I think we are ranked way too high. I am nervous about this game. I think our "D" will keep us in it, but Joe T has yet to impress me. He throws a weak ball. However, Stafford's arm looked strong, but I am not sure a true freshmen can learn the offense and lead the team through the SEC.

Oh, and to you Hambone, I thought Cal looked like CRAP! Tennessee looked better than last year, but by no means "world beaters". I attribute 100% of that to the return of David Cutcliff (someone I wouldn't mind seeing standing next to Mark Richt).

I love this time of year!!! College football is the only sport I follow this closely...

Goudha is for Buddha, and that's good enough for me!

That sucks that all the OSU players are probably going to go to jail. Because they raped Texas.

[Squeak 17]

How did LSU go, are they even playing in this league?

I only ask because they wear my colours

You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky)

How's yours doing?

[AggieDave 6]

Sucks? Are you kidding, that's the best game I've seen in a while. t.u. players were getting upset and ripping face masks and doing what they do best...

t.u. got what they deserved in that game, can A&M beat them this year? Who knows, we'll see, but that was a fun game to watch.


A&M cleaned up their defense in their game and continued to build their offense. Things finally got to the point where Coach Fran was calling students out of the stands to try to throw a pass just for fun. Of course it was Oh-La-La, so it wasn't going to be a big game anyways. The rest of the schedule is reasonably hard the rest of the year, as it is every year in the Big 12. Which is unlike other conferences where they have one or two powerhouse teams and that's it.

You want to retract that statement? Or you want to start a real argument about it?

Air Force scared the fuck out of the Vols... Vols won at home 31 - 30... Damn... Don't know what to make of those Vols yet. Apparently AF exploited some weakness...

ND beating the fuck out of Penn State was a surprise.

Georgia shutting South Carolina out was a surprise.

Alabama squeaking by Vanderbilt was no surprise... damn the offensive coordinator! Thank god for Leigh Tiffin.... like father, like son. Anybody remember Van Tiffin's 52 yard FG as time expired to beat Auburn in 1985? Van's son Leigh kicked the game winning 47 yarder, though it wasn't at the end of the game.

Nope, not going to retract my statement. I'll state to look at the history of the confrences and the teams there in, as well as our long and previous conversations here about the BCS and their ranking structure.

so Hw did LSU go

[TomAiello 26]

So, at risk of inciting Billy Vance to violence, which of the following are the one or two good teams in the SEC?

Alabama
Auburn
Florida
Georgia
Louisiana State
Tennessee

You think a schedule that includes Auburn, Florida and Tennessee every year is weak?

You say that implying that a schedule that includes Nebraska, Texas, OU, Tech, etc is an easy schedule. Sure the past 5 years have been hit and miss through the Big 12, but look at the history of really strong programs in a majority of the Big 12 schools. The only reason why more Big 12 schools aren't champions is due to playing in the Big 12 and the worthless BCS polling. Or are you trying to state the the BCS has a perfect system of competition and its completely fair in its rankings?

Of course Baylor doesn't count, even though once in a while they'll pull one off.

Anyways, I'm running on about 36hrs with about 2hrs of sleep, so I'll continue this conversation tomorrow evening or Monday.
