NCAA Football Open Thread

by Dave Halprin on Sep 19, 2009 6:54 PM CDT

Figured I'd put up an open thread for the late college games, especially since Texas and Texas Tech are playing tonight. I'm sure we got quite a lot of Texas and TT fans on the blog. Oh yeah, lest I forget, TCU is also playing now.

Some incredible finishes this afternoon. In a Cowboys-related note, Nick Folk's little brother kicked the game-winning FG for Washington that beat USC 16-13. The VT/Nebraska game went down to the wire, as did ND and Mich State.

Florida St./BYU, Georgia/Arkansas, OK St./Rice are some of the games on tonight along with Texas/Texas Tech.

This is an open thread.

P.S. No surprise, but Emmitt Smith was included on the preliminary list of candidates for the Hall of Fame. Along with Jerry Rice and about 130 other guys.

guess that was the wild-bull

by GalTex on Sep 19, 2009 8:00 PM CDT reply actions

that it did ... one of the few things

Can someone explain to me why teams don't just

zero in on the QB when a team does the wildcat?

as a former QB, #7 could've tossed one, but no ...

I’ve got no answer for you

by GalTex on Sep 19, 2009 8:09 PM CDT up reply actions

Because...

if you zero in on a QB, you’re going to get scorched by a running back if he hands off. You can’t totally focus on one player.

Congrats to Emmitt on the HOF nomination. Perhaps this next class would be the year I can finally make it out to see Canton.

Yeah, I'm glad for him. Obviously, he'll get in.

Happy the Horns beat the hated Red Raiders!

Texas better get it's game shored up.

They let Tech hang around way too long. Every advantage and all they can do is hope Tech makes a mistake in the end. Less than iffy calls from the refs and one or two better throws from Potts and UT’s season is down the drain. Good luck at that number 2 spot.

Is that really Nate's Biological son?

I mean… 190 Lbs. I just don’t see how that’s genetically possible.

by JimmyJohnson on Sep 20, 2009 7:32 AM CDT up reply actions

It's only the third week of the season.

And I really don’t know what was “less than iffy calls”.

by The Immortal Iron Fist AKA AFB on Sep 20, 2009 10:15 AM CDT up reply actions

Woohooo! It's finally Sunday!!!!!!

Only 19:30 until game time.

by JimmyJohnson on Sep 19, 2009 11:22 PM CDT reply actions

I don't get it

If I were still a betting man (no Beth, I don’t bet any more), I’d have bet the house, the car, the savings, the cats, etc… on Tennessee to cover. It has been FASCINATING to me that grown ups believe that Kiffin’s smack-talk would effect how the two teams played. To my mind, this game was a gambler’s paradise. Oh well. I guess I’d have two homes, two Range Rovers, a ton in savings, four cats and so forth. No guts, no glory.

Screw the Giants.

I can't believe Ed Werder hasn't been shot yet

That guy is so ridiculous, he tries so hard to stir up shit and now he’s just pathetic. Maybe ESPN should send his punk ass to Buffalo to continue his TO man crush.

BTW, Ed Werder is claiming Dallas players have told him they prefer the old stadium because they feel like entertainers not football players now. Please.

by ChrisRichey on Sep 20, 2009 9:38 AM CDT reply actions

You don't believe that

I think I would be pissed off by alot of the show-biz crap that the players have to go through.

But, more importantly, despite all the criticism, Ed Werder told the truth. He was 100% right about what happened in the locker room last year with TO, Witten, and Romo. A reporter’s job is to muckrake and he did a great job. It was just that many rose-colored glasses-types didn’t want to hear it.

by JimmyJohnson on Sep 20, 2009 9:50 AM CDT up reply actions

I didn't say anything about what happened between TO and the other players

Ed Werder is only out to stir up crap, and if you had actually listened to some of the pressers you would know that. Even Terrance Newman dislikes the guy and has blown him off in interviews.

by ChrisRichey on Sep 20, 2009 10:06 AM CDT up reply actions

Also

They have no right to complain about whatever is required of them as part of their job. Jerry Jones could put me in a pink thong on the 50 yard line every Sunday if he wanted to pay me a million dollars a year.

That being said, the NFL is about making money and Jerry Jones knows this better than anybody. He also pays his players better than almost any other team.
