It's back...ahh that wonderful sport.

Some general comments on Saturday -

Michigan...wow. Lloyd Carr is pretty much closing up shop.
Notre Dame...
Cal looks like the real deal.

Tonight's Clemson-FSU game should be a pretty good one I'd say.

Yeah, I'd like everyone to know that I'm OFFICIALLY off of the Charlie Weis band-wagon.

Yeah, I've been pretty much been wanting to punch Carr in the face non stop since the loss Saturday.

Well, Cal should be #3 right now. They out-ran the 'world-famous' Volunteer sprinters. When you combine that kind of speed w/ Jeff Tedford play calling--Woo!


And as far as I'm concerned, the Big-10 is officially ELIMINATED from all national title chances. Both they and the Big-12 lack a 'dominant' team this yr. It's all about the Pac-10* and Sec.

*I.e-Cal or USC

As an Ohio State fan, I am thoroughly embarrassed by the schedule that Tressel and his staff devised this year. If they want to get better, they need to schedule tougher opponents to compete with the PAC-10 and SEC conferences.

I can do nothing but laugh hysterically at the outcome of the Appalachian State/Michigan game. All the hype surrounding Michigan being a supposed national title contender and they lose their first frigging game. Let be me the first to cast my vote: Lloyd Carr deserves a lifetime extension to bungle the Wolverines.

Forget it being the first game...they're on the losing end of the worst upset EVER. That's something to ride them on forever methinks.

Or the fact that we have the most wins and best win % in all the land.

I'm still pissed. And that we have Oregon next week who also have a QB that can run. Could very easily be 0-2.

I hope you are aware that the schedule is completed 3 to 4 years ahead of time. Also in the next 4 years the Bucks have a home and home series with USC and Miami(FL)and I am not sure if it was inked yet but a home and home with VA Tech was in the works as well. This after just having a series with Texas. OSU wil always play MAC schools becuase the Big Ten has a contract with the MAC. True they don't need to play 2 in the same year but I think OSU is doing a fine job in scheduling tough non- conference opponents. This year is not as great as years to come but it wil lbe exciting next year I promise.

Umm...Florida State...wow. They look horrendous. Completely unprepared and they are just being ambushed. I guess the changes over there really didn't have much of an effect.

We're rivals, but I feel for them. They're basically stuck with Boobie, who doesn't even look like he cares.

FSU...

Go Purdue!

Yes I knew schedules were done in advance, but I didn't realize that it was 3-4 years out. I knew it was not a direct reaction to last year and the players lost, but I still think it's a lame set of opponents for most of this year. I knew about USC starting next year, but was unaware of Miami and Va Tech. Thanks for the info!

I still am of the opinion that OSU's schedule last year, outside of Texas and Michigan, contributed to their not being ready for a quality SEC opponent in a bowl game. I think the USC games for '08 & '09 will be good measuring sticks.

It would be great if OSU didn't have to play Northwestern, Illinois, or Indiana. I would love to see OSU play a top 5 SEC team, a top Big East (Louisville or West VA pretty much) and either Texas, Oklahoma, ND, or FSU every year. Even if OSU went 9-3 it would be great football to watch.

Amen Don Alessandrio. I would love for Ohio State to kick the crap out of Notre Dame every year. Maybe ND can add OSU to the schedule since the Irish are stopping the USC rivlary (or maybe it's Michigan - one of the two).

I know, they looked really bad.

But, don't you have any words on your beloved Fighting () Irish getting raped this Saturday? They looked so poor I think even the Commander-in-Chief's trophy might be in jeopardy!

UM and ND signed a few weeks ago new contracts were they are going to play at least till 2031 or something crazy like that.

I heard a funny thing on the Fox Sports radio this morning. The host said he heard that Touchdown Jesus will be renamed to Field Goal Jesus in honor of ND's horrific offensive showing last Saturday.

I give the Bucks props for playing USC, of course. But, most teams are playing tougher non-conf. schedules these days--even the poor ole' Texas Aggies are visiting Miami this yr, and they hardly EVER leave the state.


This week's list of non-conf games is INSANE:

*South Florida @ Auburn - Herbstreit has the Tigers on upset-alert.

*Boise St @ Washington - Huskies looked good in the Carrier Dome last week. I don't know who to take.

*Notre Dame @ Penn State - Freshman PHENOM () Rick Clausen, gets his first start and a chance to save Jesus.

*V.Tech @ L.S.U - Bengals win close.

*T.C.U @ Texas - Someone's feeling a LITTLE apprehensive bout this one..

*Miami @ Oklahoma - You should NEVER invite the Canes into your house.

*Oregon @ Michigan - A LOT on the line. You DON'T want to visit Ann Arbor against an 0-1 Michigan squad.

*Nebraska @ Wake Forest - Huskers, baby.

*California @ Colorado State - You DON'T walk into Fort Collins and send the Rams to 0-2.

*South Mississippi @ Tennessee - Vols are on SERIOUS upset-alert.

*Fresno State @ Texas A&M - Go Dawgs!!!

I'm not too confident in the 'Canes on saturday, but we'll see. I won't say they don't have a chance, because there's always a chance.

Appalachian State's win makes new friends in Columbus

Here is a very popular item in the Ohio area: Michigan shirt

We are getting manhandled with a capital 'M'. Not really surprising, but damn we should've at least shown up.

Canes get waxed. Too much bullshit lollygagging for me to explain.

Oregon 32, Michigan 7 with 7:00 in the 3rd quarter. Are you kidding me? That fake statue of liberty play was a thing of beauty.

It's going to be a sad day for Buckeye fans when Carr gets whacked.

Seiously, the whole coaching staff at UM needs to be fired now. I mean English, do you and the other D coaches even watch game film during the week? Was so terrible. Only Carr could f-up this team with so much talent on O.

Notre Dame put up 13 points in two games. I guess Weis isn't the "genius" he was dubbed to be - somehow I see Ty Willingham laughing to himself. In fairness, I think it's becoming evident at how good Quinn was and that he was their only legit offensive weapon last year. He covered for their other deficiencies.

Something has got to give next weekend - Michigan vs. ND. According to Carr, QB Chad Henne will not play. Michigan has too much other talent at RB and WR to not win this one. I think the state would burn down the stadium if Michigan lost three in a row at home.

At least we won't have to watch ND get embarrassed in another BCS bowl game this year.

Well Purdue has won 2 easy games. Wooo 2-0!

I went to the PSU-ND game this weekend. I'm not too worried about ND and think Weis will turn things around. He's only had two recruiting classes (he didn't sign on with the Irish until after the recruiting was completed in his first year). There isn't a lot of offensive talent there now, and he lost a lot more than Quinn from last year.

Also, while ND hasn't played well this year, Georgia Tech and PSU are very good teams. While the Big 10 is certainly declining fast as a conference, PSU has one hell of a defense. Paterno still gets the most out of those linebackers at "Linebacker U."

Finally get a win. 38-0. ND sucks. Mallet had a pretty good game and Mike Hart is just a beast.

What a win by Rutgers..59-0! Who cares if it was over Norfolk State.

#11 UCLA is about to lose...#6 Texas only won by 3 over UCF (not that it really matters overall)...I think Rutgers has a chance of moving into 10th next week.

As a Big Oklahoma Sooners fan that was a fantastic game, plus as an added bonus A co-worker & I made a bet. If Oklahoma had lost that game I would've had to wear a Miami Hurricanes t-shirt to wrk on a Friday before an O.U. game. Every friday before an O.U. game I always wear a Sooners t-shirt/cap to work

But since Oklahoma won he has to wear a Sooners t-shirt to work on a Friday before a Nebraska(we both live in Nebraska)game.

And he hates the Sooners.
