Dang...I was close! I guess people got over the Saban thing...as much as I hate him, Bama really looked good Saturday night!

Georgia and Florida are still in it if they can win out. Winning out would put them at one loss with wins over the other, LSU, a Vandy team who looks surprisingly good this year and the SEC West Champ (Bama?). That should be enough to jump them back over USC (who doesn't play another ranked team), and even an undefeated USF or BYU. All the Big XII teams ahead of those 2 will take care of each other and leave at most one undefeated team. If one of UGA or UF can finish this season with only yesterday's loss, the only way they don't go to the championship game is if there is an undefeated Big XII team AND an undefeated Big 10 team. I don't see that happening (no offense Penn State fans).

We need to win a few more games but I'm so proud of my Rebels! Hotty Toddy!

Ole Miss has improved significantly with Houston Nutt on board! That Vandy team has been a surprise this year, but Ole Miss still has time to prove its worth! It really is hard to stand out when the SEC is so universally strong. GEAUX Tigers, by the way!

Nice! :)
Nice! :)
And then, BAM! Not so nice. :(

;) Actually, I'll be the first to say we're just getting in to the thick of the season schedule, so I'm not getting too big in our blue and white britches just yet. I am glad that Michigan is AT Penn State but then we play AT Ohio State. Ugh. (no offense, Benz ;))

And KSigkid, my husband's a Husky and he's so happy they're 5-0, he keeps trying to tell me they're "just like Penn State now". Aww. :p Yeah, but no. :cool:

Haha, it's ok - we'll take our basketball dominance...a decent football season here and there will be more than sufficient.

Coming from an undergrad with no football team, anything is an improvement.

Who's a happy girl?

Paterno Coaches Penn State Blowout of Wisconsin from Press Box

As are all the Texas fans. Yay! Hook Em.

Hook Em Horns!!!:D

Putting Michigan in that poll certainly seems like a total joke now, doesn't it?

Any guesses on rankings now? In the "for what it's worth category", here is my ranking after yesterday's games.
1. Texas
2. Bama
3. Oklahoma
4. Penn State
5. Texas Tech

So much for our pre-season poll.

That was BAD. I said it before, and I will say it again, Rich Rodriguez' time will be very limited in Ann Arbor.

Holy Toledo it sure does!!
They play Penn State next week & my husband's beloved Michigan State the week after...should be interesting. Go State(s)!!!!

Here it is:
1. Texas
2. Bama
3. Penn State
4. Oklahoma
5. Florida

Oklahoma State up to 8
Mizzou down to 11
LSU down to 13

I was surprised when they hired him. It seemed like, after their first choice said no, they just grabbed whoever was interested. It's a sad state of affairs this year. My brother is traveling from Alabama to see them play in MN with a bunch of his college buddies. I'm sure they're regretting that plan now.

YES!! That was an exciting game.

For my two college age sons

GO GATORS!!

HOOK EM HORNS!!

Both were at their games, both said they were AMAZING!! My UT son said they stayed for around 30 minutes after the game ended, having a 1/2 stadium wide pep rally (the sooners started fleeing the stands before the final whistle :()

I was there for 65-14. Let's not pretend the Horns' faithful will stay to the bitter end. 1/2 the stadium was almost empty by the middle of the 3rd quarter. A good portion by halftime.

That's jacked up.

Congrats to the Longhorns for a great game! I honestly was cheering for Texas and glad to see the victory. Yes, they #5 team going up against #1. I was so touched by the #10 Colt McCoy who dedicated the season to his late older cousin who served in the Armed Forces (Marines, I believe) and wears his cousin's cross every game day Saturday.

Here's a link to the video: http://www.truveo.com/Colt-McCoy-Ded.../id/1730093609.

Colt is a good kid. I really hope he gets another shot at being the Holiday Bowl MVP. I sort of doubt that happens as Texas is really, really good. Muschamp is a great DC. I won't be sad or shocked to see him go to either Clemson or Tennessee.

65-13. If you're talking about 2003.

2000 was 63-14.



And in the years 2001-2004, I remember there being seats empty on the orange side from kickoff to the hat ceremony, how sad is it if you don't even show at all?


I'm not going to say that we were playing our best, especially since Texas seemed to be on. There were some questionable calls (on and for both sides) that still watching replays don't seem correct.

I stand corrected.

I attended the game from '01 to '04 and was there this year. Since '01, I've always gone down to Dallas for a mini-vacation. OU-TX is a great atmosphere whether you go to the game or not.

I don't read too much into the questionable calls. It's not like 1984.

They stayed this year because THEY WON!!! And, it was a DAMN good game, it seemed like the last team to hold the ball would win, both teams played magnificently. Who wouldn't stay? With a score of 65-14 it is pretty much a foregone conclusion that you're not going to catch up.

This year the 1/2 stadium that was empty was the Sooners, even on ABC, you could see them going up the stadium stairs, leaving like rats leave a sinking ship;).

BTW-They split the tickets 50/50, the dividing line is the 50 yard line. You can see cool clips of it on You Tube, but I don't know how to link it. There are also pictures of the "pep rally" on Texas websites.

I'm not a big fan of the 50 yardline split. Georgia/Florida splits in the endzone and I think having one red side of the stadium and one blue looks cooler than the 50 yardline split.

Here is a link for you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=702yOkcyedA

Just click on the little globe icon that has a 'chain link' over it close to where you font control is.

They do the 50 at OU-Texas because the cotton bowl has more seats on one side than the other, and there are only boxes on one side.

Do they split the boxes 50/50 such that half go to OU boosters and the other half go to Texas boosters? Or does the Cotton Bowl control the boxes?

FINALLY got that maize and blue monkey off our back!!! :)

GO STATE!

I was a little nervous about the PSU game going into the half. I also thought Ole Miss would also have pulled it out. I expect to see Ohio State move back into the Top 10 -- Pryor did a pretty good job yesterday. Mizzou and Daniel looked really bad.

BTW NittanyAlum. Great change of siggy.

Dang, we rocked out this weekend. Makes me wish I'd bought tickets this year, although I think I am kinda too big and pregnant to really enjoy the games...

Because Texas and McCoy looked SOOO good ;)

That's just plain mean :o

As someone who roots for Michigan State University, I love these photos!!!!

it's been 30 years since we won in Columbus!
 

BOO - FREAKIN - YA!!!!!!

No. 3 Nittany Lions Top No. 10 Buckeyes,13-6 : The win moves Penn State to 9-0 overall and 5-0 in the Big 10.

WE ARE PENN STATE

HA HA YES WE ARE!!! I like your pictures even better! :D :cool:

I thought I'd find you here! Yay Penn State!

LOL! Become predictable, have I? :) Beating Michigan last week in Happy Valley, Michigan losing their last 3 games at home (last 4 in a ROW) AND we beat Ohio State IN COLUMBUS? I'm doing so many happy dances I'm wearing out my shoes!!! :) :p :D
