I've heard that Spurrier has always voted for Duke. He coached there before moving on to Florida.

Edit

Somehow I missed the post where this was already mentioned, but yeah... I've also heard that.)

WSUCougar · 08-15-2005, 09:21 AM

Early polls = ludicrous

Hey, somebody had to say it, right?

By the way, the Cougars just landed a verbal on 4-star recruit Andy Mattingly out of Mead HS in Spokane. Nice to grab an in-state stud. He's rated #11 safety in the nation, although he's big (6-4) and may play LB.

Looks like Thompson will be the starter for OU.

Announced today:

Quote:

The Oklahoman

Paul Thompson will be Oklahoma's starting quarterback when the Sooners open Sept. 3 against Texas Christian, OU coach Bob Stoops announced Thursday evening.

Stoops said Thompson would start, but added Rhett Bomar will also play. The two quarterbacks have battled throughout spring drills and OU's preseason camp for the right to replace OU career passing leader and 2003 Heisman Trophy winner Jason White.

They went with the safe pick. It doesn't suprise me though since he was a little better at not turning the ball over during the scrimmages.

O.M.G. OU's starting RT, Akim Millington, has just quit. 3 days before the season opener.

Wow, wonder what kind of person it takes to do something like this. Rumor is he's tired of taking medication and being sore all the time or something like that. I don't know if he has some kind of condition, but isn't being sore part of the game?

I don't know much about the kid, but it just seems strange to me to work that hard, earn a spot on a top college team, and then quit 3 days before your debut on national television.

The word is that Messner and he weren't too far apart so I don't think it'll be a huge loss. It's just strange for sure.

vex · 09-01-2005, 03:20 PM

From OU pay site:

Just off the phone with sources close to the situation at Oklahoma. And here is the latest. It's possibly very good news for the Sooners.

Akim Millington is on the verge of rejoining the Sooner program after talking things over with family members. Millington will not be back at practice today, but will rejoin the team tomorrow contingent on a meeting with the OU coaching staff.

As far as the he said, she said part of this. Millington wants to talk things over with the staff. Obviously there are some hurt feelings about some things. I've even been told there is a little regret on both sides of the fence over some things that have happened.

But sources say Millington probably will not play on Saturday regardless of whether the meeting goes well or not. But it does appear the fences are on the verge of being mended and that Millington will rejoin the Sooners on Friday.

RendeR · 09-01-2005, 04:18 PM

I love Ohio State, but I've been dissapointed too many times in the past to be all hyped about the season. honestly, IS the team THAT good? I hadn't heard much at all about them until I watched the ESPNU college preview show and they were talking about a National Title???

What is the general concsensus?

Keep in mind I am a Michigan fan but ..

I am not sold on OSU. Yes, amazing D. But their offense didn't do much till the end of last year, and even then, that was vs a Michigan team that could not stop a running QB. They still have HUGE question marks running the ball, and although their WR's are great, Zwick and Smith have to prove they can consistently get them the ball.

And keep in mind they have no Mike Nugent. That's going to be huge.

With that said, I think they can win the Big 10. It'll be between them and Michigan, if Michigan's D shows up.

Iowa will also be in the hunt, and Purdue is going to blow it like always.

WOW! Spurrier ball comes to South Carolina. Yes, it is against UCF, but it looks like a very potent passing offense so far (1 drive, though).

Easy Mac · 09-01-2005, 07:08 PM

At least this team will be exciting to watch for once.

ISiddiqui · 09-01-2005, 07:09 PM

Hmm... either UCF is either THAT bad, or South Carolina has gotten THAT good... or a combo of both.

14-0, 7:17 left in the 1st Q.

TazFTW · 09-01-2005, 07:18 PM

Considering UCF lost every game last season, I would think they are that bad.

ISiddiqui · 09-01-2005, 07:21 PM

Yeah, but getting blown out by South Carolina? That's another level of suck... any other year, I guess

.

ISiddiqui · 09-01-2005, 09:28 PM

Er... forget what I said earlier about South Carolina

.

cthomer5000 · 09-01-2005, 09:33 PM

UCF is showing a lot of heart, and that QB looks great to me.

Myles Knight still hanging around here? or was that self-imposed exile permanent?

sovereignstar · 09-01-2005, 09:35 PM

Maroney starts the Gophers season with a 60+ yard TD run. Nice!

cthomer5000 · 09-01-2005, 09:59 PM

UCF: Thank you for covering the spread.

I'm still mad at Tulsa for beating us last year, but I guess I have to root for our conference mate...

Easy Mac · 09-01-2005, 10:27 PM

FU ALL THE TIME!!!!
No one really cares but me, but Furman just beat Jacksonville State on a last second (literally), 4th down TD pass.

Ingle Martin will win the Heisman and is the QB Urban Meyer wishes he still had at Florida.

JonInMiddleGA · 09-01-2005, 11:01 PM

Go Paladins !
(Kinda weird to see that sort of shootout though)

kingnebwsu · 09-02-2005, 12:25 AM

OSU for a tittie?...that'd be amazing. I'm hoping for a 10-2 season for OSU. I know I'm one of the "crazy" fans expecting a 10-win season, but whatever. Last season I was hoping for 8-4/7-5 for tOSU and they got pretty close. I'll definitely take last year as a rebuilding year (with a win vs michigan and an amazing blowout of Ok. St...one of the best nights of my life at the alamo dome!). Hopefully OSU can hang around their games and kick some ass. They have the schedule to compete for a tittie, but a tough game vs Texas in week two is frightening. Not to mention the fact that the entire backfield is a questionmark. We'll see what happens.

GO BUCKS!!!

Young Drachma · 09-02-2005, 12:50 AM

How do you all think Wyoming will fare against Florida?

CHEMICAL SOLDIER · 09-02-2005, 01:31 AM

I seriously think that Notre Dame will win at least 8 games this year. They weren't far off from a 9 win season last year. The offense was a little too conservative last campaign. Lets hope Weis can revive the Irish Offense.

cthomer5000 · 09-02-2005, 07:14 PM

I have to say I'm hating the spread of instant replay. One of the reasons I love college football is the pace of the game - it moves much faster than an NFL game... now we're seeing delays all over the place just like the pro game.

Even before Instant Reply, I felt the exact opposite. I think the first half last night took an hour 45 minutes. The typical college is over 3.5 hours compared to 3 hours for an NFL game.

I would rather saw off both testicles with a dull butter knife, sautee them in motor oil and ingest each bit by bit than EVER, I repeat EVER say something nice about the girlie-men in MAIZE and blue.

MAIZE...I mean W T F?? You can't even come up witha real color? you gotta backhandly steal a native american term to feel special with the color scheme?

Michigan sucks. Learn it, Live it, love it.

Well, it depends on how you're viewing it. There are more plays in a college game and less time between plays. Plus the whole first down stopping the clock while they move the chains thing.

The games may take a little longer start to finish, but much more of it is actually play.

Wolfpack · 09-02-2005, 08:16 PM

Now, now boys. It's only September. If you keep this up, you'll have nothing left to ridicule each other with when the actual rivalry week gets here.

You should watch the WAC, we're one of two conferences that has no form of instant replay.
