Yeah, and they play BC next weekend. Two Irish Catholic teams going head to head is never pretty. BC has had the upper hand in recent years. As for vs Maryland - a win is a win, and they did it in convincing fashion! There is obvious development going on among certain players.

OSU is just so.... horrible. I hope the powers that be are already wooing Meyer. I'll still wear scarlet the saturday after thanksgiving, but...

Well this has been just a fricken' perfect college football day for me. Wasn't expecting us to win and was totally prepared to see my Ducks lose and accept Boise State's loss (on a FG AGAIN!) to be the consolation prize. Whoo Hoo!!!

HAHA! I was wondering if you even saw it, I don't think you responded the first time.

Maybe it's a good thing I wasn't at the game today. All of my classmates would have my hide if they saw me cheering for another state's team. Yeah, I would have been thrown out and had my Cali card revoked.

Now they're calling for a rematch with LSU for the national championship. Ok st would have to lose first, and we still have to beat a tough Arkansas (a late season upset brewing every season for us) and win our SEC championship against Georgia who has been coming on strong of late. I don't see anything in the bag yet. But...we're 10-0 for the first time since 1958 when we won our first national championship!

^^^Personally, I'm not for it. I'd rather win a bowl at this point than go to another national championship and stand a good chance of losing.

I love my team, but we have a young defensive line (although they're coming together fast) and while I know we committed a lot of turnovers in that game, and I think we would probably be better the second time around, I'm realistic about us, and I don't think we're ready for another national title game.

I'd prefer the Rose Bowl. I think we've got a good chance of winning that one this year. Plus, I'm not a fan of seeing the same game twice and I absolutely would NOT want to play it in New Orleans.

I think LSU and Ok. St would be a great game (if its Alabama and LSU I will have to shoot myself because that was four quarters of...yeah, just no. Unless someone is a defense afficianado.) but Ok. St. has to get past Oklahoma first which will be their biggest test.

Now NEXT year - I'd love for us to go back to the Natty.

I agree. I have no desire to see a rematch of that horrendous Alabama game. Defensive battles are brutal and boring. I'm lucky I have fingers left after the nail biting I did for that one.

Two days late (here at least), but a resounding "Yay, finally!" is necessary.

State is just kicking butt and taking names one day after the other.

This made me laugh. Didn't know Columbia still had a football team. At least the band has a sense of humor.

knight_shadow · #**209** 11-19-2011, 05:53 PM

Yay @ Michigan/Nebraska
WTF @ TAMU/Kansas

Watching Houston/SMU now.

Can't wait for next week
