Well at least A&M manages to score against the second string defense

Even if I don't like the smarmy SOB, Richt was funny trying make sure he avoided the Gatorade bath and the players were kind of funny getting the OC Bobo by surprise instead.

I still say there's something I must be missing, but we shall see. As a 10 point dog, the outright odds on Stanford should be something like +300 (or 3-1 in more conventional form; bet $100, win $400). That's mighty tempting, IMO. Quote:
Thank you for the research. It's interesting the way the lines have moved. Florida-Cincy I kind of expected with the Meyer saga. I still like Cincy, even though it's a temp coach vs. two saints. One line not mentioned that I expect to move a bit is TT-MSU. Leach is being keelhauled and I have no public opinion on what may have happened there. They picked the D.Coord to coach, which is interesting. I think he'd be a lot happier with a 7-point win than Leach would, and may work toward that end. But fundamentally Tech is still a red hot passing team, and MSU still has those problems against the pass, in addition to the suspensions. |

I think Mike Leach put the wrong James in the closet. He should've put Craig James in the closet, locked the door, and threw away the key.

It being Craig James' kid makes the story even stranger. Wonder what ESPN thinks about it. I did see that James was supposed to do the TT bowl game, but they've pulled him from that already. Last edited by Logan : 12-29-2009 at 09:12 AM. |

Hasn't Vegas had something of a love affair with Oklahoma in general this year? I thought I saw somewhere that if Vegas odds were used as a ranking system, Oklahoma would have been a top 10 4-loss team late into the season. Edit: Stanford's starting their backup QB since Luck had finger surgery. Backup's a 5th year senior that has thrown 3 passes this season. Last edited by bronconick : 12-29-2009 at 12:03 PM. |

I can tell who didn't think they would pass (UCLA's defensive coaching staff). Oh, another note to the staff: if Prince isn't interested in showing up today, please get someone in there who is.

It's time to bring in Craft. BRO wants to see Brehaut, but this game isn't about the future, it's about not being embarrassed.

Temple back to the Big East, but this time as an all-sport member. UMass upgrades and maybe Villanova, too? Add Memphis as an all-sport member, kick out DePaul and there you have your 16 basketball schools and football goes to 12.
You know, for when Rutgers/Pitt/Syracuse leaves... |

Great start to the Badger game... *sigh*
Miami opens up with a kickoff return for a touchdown only to be called back ono a stupid play by one of the Canes to block in the back on the 10 yard line when his runner is 5 yards ahead of him. Not that it mattered much as it took two plays to score. The Badgers pin the Canes and force a 3 and out and are threatening now goal to go. Badgers also lost one of their better lineman to a knee injury but he might come back.. |

Heh...that bowl visit just supplied more cash to the conference than a certain recent visit to a bowl in the Bay Area.

And I'm sure 17 year old recruits care about that, rather than the fact that the team was almost embarrassed by Temple, a team with one of the worst reputations in the FBS. Don't get me wrong, it would have been even worse to have lost that game, but I'd hardly call it a high note for the Bruins.

Badgers dominating this game so far in the trenches. A turnover has kept this game semi-close. Hopefully this can carry over into the second half(unlike most of their games this year. The Badgers were really good in one half and bad in the second half a lot).
Hold the Canes to no more points this half and I'll take that. |

Well, I wasn't the one who called it a high note. I would just argue glass houses and all that... Let's just say, UCLA probably got a lot more positive momentum out of this postseason than the Trojans did, since they're supposed to be in a BCS bowl, and UCLA just wanted any bowl.

That one hurts, but I'll support the kid, if that's what he wants to do. He'll come back bigger and stronger and even more mentally prepared. This gives Abele his chance and some of our other young players.

You're stretching pretty badly here. No 17 year old kid knows about or cares about Temple. Pete Carroll can show the box score for the first half, Rick can show the box score of the second half. 4 wins to 7 wins is a high note no matter what you might try to spin |

Badgers have given Miami all the chances in the world to stay in the game.. and the refs too while you're at it. I thought the defense had given up less than 100 yards in the game until I remembered Miami's two big offensive plays(one came at the end of the first half and the other at the start of the second half, both of which amounted to nothing for the Canes).
Rock on, Badgers! They return LOTS of players next year. LOTS. |

As I speak, the Badgers pin Miami on the 1 yard line and then give up a 25 yard run with a 15 yard penalty on top of that. Ugh. Helping Miami stay in it... and then the Badgers pick up their first defensive turnover of the game. That should about do it for the Miami Hurricanes. Woohoo!

Looks like another late season collapse for the Canes, which has become an annual tradition under Randy Shannon. He's done some great things for this program, but I sure hope he buys a fucking clue and learns how to coach by next season.

Updated lines on the relevant games:
* Stanford is still +10 vs. Oklahoma, with the money line at +300 * West Virginia is now favored by 2.5 vs. Florida State * Cinicinnati is now +13 vs. some other team * To my surprise, the Texas Tech-MSU line hasn't moved - TT is still favored by 8, with the over/under at 60.5 * Boise State remains +7 vs. TCU * Central Michigan is still -3.5 vs. Troy I still like the Cardinal to cover, and I also like the odds to win outright. I like the UNDER in the Alamo Bowl better than I like the spread, though that should be OK (I hope). P.S. I'm alternating between being sick of "I Am The Champion" and being inspired by it. |

It takes a competent QB to beat Oklahoma's defense. They will stack the box and force the pass.
P.S. That song sucks, and was possibly written by a 5 year old.

It's a positive now...unless he has a change of heart while out there and decides to become a Cougar....But I know Norm as long as he is there will know how to get the missionaries in shape when they get back... Just hope he doesn't get sent to Central or South America where he will potentially lose a ton of weight and muscle mass.

I'll be very surprised if Norm is still at UCLA in 2 years. There are more rumors out there that he won't even be back next year.
Edit: Not to mention even the LA times is picking up on it: http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-...6133904.column

Stacking the box doesn't really work against Stanford. Their offensive live + FB Owen Marecic + Heisman runner up Toby don't care if you put 9 in the box. If they want to run, they will. They still need some passing to win this game, but stacking the box is an empty threat that Stanford has heard all season.

Chow will be back next year for sure. The Times has been trying to send him out for a month or two now, to San Jose State, back to USC, to the NFL, to retirement. They really need to just stop; their track record is very poor. ESPN's Ted Miller is reporting him as coming back, too. The X man actually says he'll be back to UCLA "if Coach Neuheisel is still here." So I'm not sure even Chow leaving would keep him from coming back, although certainly it won't help if Chow is not here when he returns.

Oklahoma's defense is vaunted enough to be considered impressive for any conference. Gerhart is going to get his. He always does. Can Oklahoma keep the 4 and 5 yard gains at that? They need to wrap him up, and prevent the runs into the secondary. If they can force 3rd and 7-10's, then Pritchard will have to play like he did against USC in order for Stanford to win, which I wouldn't bet on. Gerhart will get his. I would bet on that.

Y'know, I can usually find something remotely interesting about nearly any bowl matchup but is there a less interesting pairing than Bowling Green vs Idaho? That's not even a good I-AA regular season game.

35-35.. it's a pretty good game!
Make that 42-35. Wow. Edit: ESPN breathes a huge sigh of relief that this will not run too much longer and run into the next game

Hahahaha.
Big bomb, caught with pass interference on the defense.. and it looks like via the ESPN Game tracker that they scored the TD on the next play with :04 to play.. but ESPN360 doesn't have it on the live feed (the alloted time ran out, and no one extended it) and they went for two, and got it. What a crazy finish. (betcha some ESPN guy called down to the coach and said "If you send this to OT, we will bury you forever! END THIS GAME ONE WAY OR ANOTHER!)

Why was he a Heisman Candidate? Consistency. Every game he could be counted on for at least the numbers you mentioned, and in the biggest games Stanford played, he had his best games. Why should I assume he's not gonna do what he's done in just about every game for 3 years in his final collegiate game? Because Oklahoma has a good defense, including a great DT? I guess I could assume things will be different. I wouldn't bet on it, though. You apparently would

Meanwhile, Arizona is getting their asses kicked. Foles had better find some rhythm with his receivers. Nebraska is just dominating both sides of the ball.
