SEC spreads its pain.

Holy crap, every home game tis year has been insane. We score in the first 15 seconds, and twice in the last six minutes. It feels great to win your homecoming game and to be 7-2 after the BS of the previous coaches.

I will remember not to hug my classmate when we storm the field because I got super sweaty. This cold or whatever it is does not make standing on my bench seat for the whole game and yelling easy either.

Coach Akey should be nominated for every applicable coach of the year award with what he's done here.

ETA: We're waiting for you in the dome Fresno we haven't lost at home yet this season. Ask Colorado State about our noise.

Dancing in the stre--eets!!!

I really want to know if the USC band was silent. Since they only know one song, what do they do if the team isn't winning.

For the first time in weeks, Virginia Tech actually looked like a solid football team last night. I don't know about the rest of you, but this weekend's line-up doesn't look very exciting to me. Hubby and I might actually get some yard work done since there's no good football to keep us inside.

Go Horns!! Go Gators!! Hoping for a matchup in the NC. It might make Xmas shopping extremely simple

OH SNAP! We're playing the burros in Boise Saturday. I have a family event in Spokane so I can't go and I might have to sneak away to catch the kick off and watch the game in secret until the event is over. I hope to never have to ride that plane, but much like AD Spear chose to do I usually fly in and out of Spokane.

MOSCOW, Idaho — The Boise State vs. Idaho rivalry has taken to some not-so-friendly skies.

Idaho athletic director Rob Spear says he declined to board a Horizon Air flight after learning the airplane was painted in Boise State's blue and orange colors.

Spear was traveling to Boise on Saturday for fundraising events. He requested another flight and then drove about 90 miles north to fly from the Spokane, Wash., airport to Boise.

Boise State and Horizon Air unveiled the plane, which sports the team logo on its tail, as an ode to the Broncos earlier this month.

Spear says he'll board the plane after Horizon Air paints an airplane for the Vandals, whose football team will try to beat the No. 6 Broncos this Saturday for the first time since 1998.

^^^ That is pretty funny!

So, I know that I just posted on my little 'ol TCU, but I just can't suppress my excitement that not only are they ranked #4 but that ESPN Gameday is heading to our campus!

For alumni like myself, who suffered through 2-9 seasons routinely, this is just unbelieveable. In addition, TCU has less than 9000 students- it is really a small school by Division I (or whatever that new BCS term is)standards. Things like this just don't happen to us.

Anyway, the ESPN broadcast will be from the heart of campus. Fun times.

I am so glad we can hate on BSU together!

Oh, thanks for sharing! Those were funny.

There have been tons of Boise students/fans invade TCU blogs, websites, fan sites, etc with lots of smack and trash talk. Some of the posts say that they should receive the automatic BCS bid- and not us- because they beat OU a few years ago.

Um, Einsteins, WE beat YOU last year.

The best part of these blogs/sites/etc is that all the Utah and BYU fans have been posting too. Only, they have been 100% supportive of us. They say things like "Well, I am a Ute fan, but I recognize that TCU is really good this year. I hope that Utah wins this weekend, but if they don't then we really hope that you run the table! We will be cheering for you in whatever bowl that you get." There are dozens and dozens of posts like that, and not a single one with smack talk. Mormons. Nice people.

So, go Vandals! You will have tons of fans in Fort Worth this weekend.

(oh, and geez, it is really quiet in here these days. Seems like you and I are the only ones around these parts anymore!

)

I still lurk around here! I'm rooting for TCU and have been since the beginning of the season. I would LOVE to see a "small school" win big, especially my aunt's alma mater!

Hmmmmmm, it was probably about ~20-25 years ago, so the mid to late 80's.

Kappamd · #**119** 11-14-2009, 07:28 PM

Nah Nah Nah Nah, Nah Nah Nah Nah
Hey, hey, hey
Goodbyyyyyye

Hahahahahahaha I love when USC loses!

Hoping Iowa pulls it out in the next 52 seconds.

Edit: They didn't. OSU wins the Big Ten title and earns a berth in the Rose Bowl. Again. YAWN.

Benzgirl · #**120** 11-14-2009, 10:04 PM

What could be better? USC losing again!
