i missed the trip to hockeytown last year - my dad and a bunch of my buddies went. sucks though, would have been nice to see that game.

michigan has sick talent this year - do you think carr's just not getting the most out of it? i mean, those quasi-fake punts were silly, and probably lost the game. . .

it was an ugly game either way, but still a good win for the hawks.

No, no. Ohio U. is playing Central Florida next week, not Toledo.

NAMES, people! Initials only tell the story in your part of the country.

His punting was HORRIBLE! The whole game I kept wondering if Loyd put him up to it, by why the hell would such a great coach do that? Pirates don't play like that!!! (Loyd is part of my high schools football history!) They've been doing a kickass job at home, so hopefully next Saturday's game won't be as much a disappointment as this past one.

The Big XII is all that matters, it has the most and higest ranked teams of any conference.

In my opinion OU is ALWAYS the Oklahoma Sooners, Ohio is just the Ohio U. And UT is a no brainer...

AND OU WILL BE FRYING UP SOME LONGWHORENS NEXT SATURDAY!!! MMMMM, BEEF!!!!

Until Ohio wins 7 NC's, we'll just all assume that OU = Oklahoma

I think they've earned it.

At least when you talk football.

To you, perhaps. Allow me to point out a couple of things. First, I televised Colorado Football for years, and probably know more than most about the Big XII. But I've also lived in Big Ten, ACC, Big East and other conference territory. I grew up in Columbus -- a fairly well known college football town.

Second, Ohio University was O.U. about 65 years BEFORE Oklahoma was founded around 1870 as I recall. Ohio is celebrating it's Bi-Centennial this year, having been founded in 1804.

Third, I have a son who attends Oklahoma, so my comment wasn't a put-down in any way. I could have said the same thing about Oregon. Where I come from, OSU is Ohio State and Oklahoma State isn't even on their radar.

I've used this story before, but I think it makes the point:

My wife and I both graduated from O.U.

My son attends O.U.

My daughter graduated from O.U. after spending two years at U.N.C.

Translated, that means that my wife and I graduated from Ohio University.

My son attends Oklahoma.

My daughter graduated from Ohio University after spending two years at the University of Northern Colorado.

See how some might be confused by the initials?

My suggestion is that, like the journalism schools teach, the full name should be used first, then the abbreviation (letters) can be used. Then nobody will be confused.

Having said all of that, I think the Sooners should destroy Texas -- but on any given week, strange things happen.

Edited to say that I have taken my fellow Ohio University Bobcat alumni to task for the same thing.

Sadly, as a Gator fan, I have to now agree with the waiting-for-basketball-season feeling. Stupid stupid stupid Ron Zook is killing our team. You guys should have beat us last week.

Good thing the refs helped you out on the worst penalty call I've ever seen

PM_Mama00 · #13 10-11-2003, 04:10 PM

Michigan shocked me last nite.

Navarre and Edwards need to be on teh same page at ALL times. Sometimes I think that they're reading different books.

The1calledTKE · #14 10-11-2003, 04:16 PM

The hogs lost that will knock them back in the polls lossing to unranked Auburn. I think Auburn should be ranked even though they lost a few games they should have won.

FSU lost too so much for the predictions of a undefeated season. FSU still has to face Notre Dame and NC State. Granted both teams suck this year but it will be great games. I believe NC STATE has beat them what 3 years in a row now?

PiEp299 · #15 10-11-2003, 04:34 PM

auburn is def. a top 25 team...here's hoping everyone above us loses at least once.
