ozofprev Posted September 30, 2007 Report Posted September 30, 2007 What a weekend!!! What will the polls do now??? I was sad to seeAuburn struggle to beat Kansas State a few weeks back, but then Kansas State beats the Longhorns (41-21!!!) this weekend. And AUBURN outplayed the #4 Gators last night to beat them at Florida! What an amazing game it was!!! War Eagle!
kurt Posted September 30, 2007 Report Posted September 30, 2007 ....Oklahoma goes down, and best of all, Notre Dame finds itself in a hole. Somewhere, Mr. Willingham has to feel a little smug.
ozofprev Posted September 30, 2007 Author Report Posted September 30, 2007 Originally posted by kurt Somewhere, Mr. Willingham has to feel a little smug. For sure! But he is a class act, so we won't see it. Everyone has to feel good for that great coach.
fqp25 Posted October 1, 2007 Report Posted October 1, 2007 Illinois beat Penn State. Too bad nobody could watch the game due to the new Big Ten Network. People are starting to talk about Illinois giving Wisconsin a run for the money next week. At least that game will be on ESPN. Notre Dame is looking for a QB. (How about Rex Grossman?)
Brian G Posted October 1, 2007 Report Posted October 1, 2007 Upset weekend comes every year at some point; this was it, in spades. Even the mighty struggled. LSU eventually won big over Tulane, but that was a close game at the half. USC had more trouble than that retiring Washington, who just wouldn't die quietly. How bad is game coverage getting when the announcers interview a distant coach by phone as if there were no game being played at all, while on the field the trailing team strings together a second-half drive? That happened for a good five minutes or more during the Florida-Auburn game. What's wrong with these idiots? Years ago I actually liked Notre Dame. They played tough schedules and usually did well. They had high academic standards and didn't sign thugs. I respected all that. Then they signed that infamous deal with NBC, to air ALL of Notre Dame's games. No one college team should literally have its own national broadcast network. For years now they've been consistently overrated in the pre-season polls, and they get murdered in bowl games by everybody. Personally, I wish the press would shut up about them until they're worth talking about. Brian G. The New Top Ten....Who Knows? [?]

ozofprev Posted October 5, 2007 Author Report Posted October 5, 2007 Never met the guy, but Mike Howe is a friend of mine. WAR DAMN EAGLE!!!
Phillip Posted October 5, 2007 Report Posted October 5, 2007 Is WAR EAGLE!!!! untill they play Alabama then it is ROLL TIDE!!!!!!!!!!! LSU is going to win the SEC.
ozofprev Posted October 5, 2007 Author Report Posted October 5, 2007 Hmmm, Auburn beat bama in 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006. So, 2007 is bama's year? Nah. But best of luck this year.
Brian G Posted October 6, 2007 Report Posted October 6, 2007 Auburn better get Bama while they can. Saban is already turning that ship around, with only what's left on-hand. I hate to say it, but Bama's future looks bright if that guy stays. And LSU will indeed win the SEC, then go on to beat USC for the crown. Brian G. The SEC; Home of the Jillion Dollar Football Coaches [:-tophat]
ozofprev Posted October 6, 2007 Author Report Posted October 6, 2007 I think you're right, Brian. We shall see.
Mike H Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 Do Bama fans even cheer for the team anymore or just Saben? It is the weirdest thing I've ever seen, when listening to sports talk radio or in talking to the fans around here you never hear anything about the team or its players, just Saban, Saben, Saben. BTW Tommy Tubervilles record is 3-2 against Saben, We are just terrified Whewwwwww. We have a term for these new Saben fans "Nick Suckers" War Damn Eagle Mike
Phillip Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 Yes the BAMA fans cheers for the team and also they cheer for Saben. Since Saben is new here there is going to more talk about him and the changes he is making. It is just like someone from a cow collage called auburn to start name calling. [][:-dev3][] ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!!!
fqp25 Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 Not to interrupt your SEC Party, but things are looking much different in the Big Ten this year, compared to last. Illinois beat #5 Wisconsin, and moved into the AP Top 25 at #18.
Mike H Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 HEy Phillip , No offense meant (well maybe a little). I sleep with an Alabama fan every night , guess i should have used an icon to lighten up what I said. Anyway you gotta love this state during football season . MOOOOOOO, Mike
Brian G Posted October 9, 2007 Report Posted October 9, 2007 If you ask me, Saban and Tuberville should be good buddys. They have an awful lot in common. "I'm not talking to that other team." "I'm happy here and I plan to stay here." "The reports that I'm leaving aren't true." "I'M OUTTA HERE! CHA-CHING, BABY!" [:-dev3][][:-footbal[:-spin] I saw Illinois take down Wisconsin...good game. I'm not sold on Ohio State yet, but we're getting into the meat of the season now, so we'll know more soon. The Stanford upset was unreal. I wish I could have watched it, but no one was carrying it here. A hearty congradulations to Cardinal fan Douglas Hansen, even if it wasn't basketball. The Florida-LSU game was great, what we call a "slobber-knocker" down here. Florida did everything they could to beat LSU, but it wasn't quite enough. If there's a re-match in the SEC championship game, it'll be epic. I hope South Florida gets a big bowl game. That's a gritty bunch. I don't see a single dominate team out there this year...nobody. It's fantastic. I still like LSU and USC for the big one, but you sure can't count on it. Brian G. Loving It While It Lasts [:-love]
ozofprev Posted October 14, 2007 Author Report Posted October 14, 2007 LSU, Cal, OMG! And Auburn, although dominant, almost blew it!!! LSU will be pissed next weekend - bad for Auburn.[:-weepn] WAR EAGLE!
ozofprev Posted October 20, 2007 Author Report Posted October 20, 2007 Oh, come on!!!! Rutgers over #2 S. Florida?????? How frequently can the #2 position be upset in a season??? I don't remember a year like this - and I'm old!
Richard Stanley Posted October 20, 2007 Report Posted October 20, 2007 I suspect So. Florida isn't even really #3 in the state of Florida.
ozofprev Posted October 20, 2007 Author Report Posted October 20, 2007 And Vandy over South Carolina? What's going on?!
Brian G Posted October 24, 2007 Report Posted October 24, 2007 It's an absolute crap-shoot at this point, as to who will be on top at the end of the year. The big game could be any two teams you care to name. I still like LSU, but they've show the wear of the brutal SEC gauntlet already this year. They could easily lose another one between here and there. Somebody please hurry up and knock-off Ohio State. If they're the best team in the country I'm a flying camel. I'm not buying Boston College either, until they play some ranked teams (plural) and win. I think there are 10 teams in the poll that could beat either one of those pretenders. On the upside, this season will be another great arguement for a PLAYOFF SYSTEM. How can a computer and a poll possibly sort the best team out of this tangle? Brian G. BCS = Bogus Championship Sham BCS = Big Cash Stays (where it is) BCS = Bad College System
kurt Posted October 24, 2007 Report Posted October 24, 2007 I wanna see Applachia State in the playoff's. Let's see some upsets to make it interesting.
Brian G Posted October 31, 2007 Report Posted October 31, 2007 I can't let this week slide by without praising my beloved Bulldawgs for soundly trouncing Kentucky (at Kentucky; homecoming, no less). That's two ranked teams this year, and five wins overall. One more and we'll see a bowl game this post-season. The SEC is a brutal, relentless meat grinder this year. Brian G. Go Dawgs! [:-dog]
Phillip Posted October 31, 2007 Report Posted October 31, 2007 I am hoping that Alabama does the upsetting this week. We are playing LSU.
