College Football

[polygal]

I was jumping all over my apartment in joy watching Cal melt down last night. After LSU lost, I just didn't want them to be #1, because my friends that go to Cal would never shut up. That I've always had an irrational hatred for UC Bekeley.

I'm rooting for South Florida, if for no other reason than it is good to have fresh blood, and it proves that when the playing field is level, any team can succeed.

You must be thrilled with the BCS standings, then--South Florida is #2.

[lpatrice]

I am, and I honestly think they are just as deserving as Ohio State to be number 1! I think Ohio State is number one in part due to reputation, why them over other equally deserving undefeated teams?

On the other hand, I find it amusing to watch the people in my state meltdown over another blowout loss that was handed to Nebraska.

Hi, I'm Knesaa, I'm a UNC grad, and I'm biding my time until basketball season.

Actually, despite our 2-5 record, our football team isn't all that bad this year. We beat Miami last week and gave South Carolina (NOT the same as Carolina) a scare on Saturday. But yeah, I'm focusing on being the preseason #1 in basketball rather than our current football woes.

Here's the place to cheer on your alma mater or gripe about the BCS standings. Let's start by introducing ourselves:

Hi, I'm divasahm, I'm a second-generation Texas Longhorn, and I bleed burnt orange. Hook 'em. I'm hoping for a Texas Tech victory against Texas A&M this weekend, and for the Horns to win out so we can still have a shot at the Big 12 South title.

Who's next?

OK. What I said about you on the Pro Football thread? I take back. Guns Up Red Raiders!!

You know 'Horns fans have a lot of respect for Tech, dasaky--y'all have played spoiler too many times for us not to take y'all VERY seriously!

Hi, I'm Woodchipper, and I love the Iowa Hawkeyes. Since they beat the #18 Illini, I am momentarily unashamed to admit it. (I'm sure this will pass by next weekend)

Hola, I'm proper stranger and I'm a proud UCLA Bruin, even though the only Bowl we're going to is the Toilet Bowl. Actually, we're already there after Utah and the utter humiliation that was the Notre Dame game. Time to fire Karl Dorrell.

I was sad about Cal, because I'd sort of adopted them in light of the Bruins' less-than-stellar season. UC solidarity and all that. Now they've let me down, too.

U$C still (and forever) sucks.

Bring on basketball season!

Sticking with my Colorado Buffaloes! During the Buffs 2-10 season last year I was all Dr. Smith on Lost in Space..."oh, the pain, the pain!" This year very inconsistent but managed to take the Sooners out. Future looks good with a lot of freshmen starting, including Q-back. And how many teams run a buffalo out on the field to start a game? Go Buffs!

Sorry indygirl. And I'll be very sorry to see OSU ranked #1. They're still playing bullshit teams to pad their record; they simply don't deserve the ranking.

Thanks, MWG.

That was a tough game to watch, mostly because we partially beat ourselves with so many mistakes. And Kentucky was solid.
Les Miles etter get it turned around for this Friday's game or he may be looking for a new job.
