Today's College Football Thread

[fishwax]

What with all the marches and rallies and occupations lined up today, there may not be as much time to watch college football as on a normal Saturday, but there are some good games to check out during down times.

Four games between ranked teams today -- Michigan (11) at Michigan State (23) and Baylor (20) at Texas A&M (21) early, Oklahoma State (6) at Texas (22) in the afternoon, and Arizona State (18) at Oregon (9) tonight.

My Oklahoma Sooners play late at Kansas, which hopefully won't be too much trouble. And the Illinois Fighting Illini, surprisingly still undefeated, play Ohio State at home.

So who does your team play? What teams are you looking forward to?

From Occupy Herbstreit:

1. Geaux Tigers!

(And it better be good: my other team is Cal, so I really need a pick-me-up today...)

[fishwax]

2. I missed most of that game on Thursday, but

yeah, it looked like a rough one for Cal fans.

Should be a good day for LSU, though :toast:

[petronius]

5. About freakin' time! 7-0 LSU

Great interception return, but the first quarter was not spectacular...

[fishwax]

7. 17-7 -- closer than I expected at the half

What's going on, Tigers?

[petronius]

9. Looks like Tennessee really really wants to be a spoiler

Can't say there's anything wrong with LSU's game, but it doesn't seem to have the kind of energy that will beat Alabama or Arkansas (or would have beaten Oregon) this year. Hopefully they'll get it out of their system today... :shrug:

[fishwax]

10. there're bound to be weeks like that

And with the two tough games coming up I guess now is a good time for it. :)

[fishwax]

14. btw, I just saw the highlight of the INT and return -- nice!

:bounce:

[fishwax]

3. Back from the rally and the afternoon games are about to kick off

Go Illini!

:kick:

[fishwax]

6. Ohio State 17 -- Illinois 0

One play into the fourth quarter. Alas, it looks like the winning streak is over ...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. Go Buckeyes!

:P

[fishwax]

15. pfft :) -- but they were definitely the better team today

:hi:

[Major Nikon]

4. The horny frogs are off today

I'll probably watch part of the OSU/Texas and OU/Kansas, but the later will have to compete with the Rangers ALCS.

[fishwax]

8. I haven't seen nearly as much of either LCS as I'd like

So I'm kind of hoping for a game 7 :)

[fishwax]

23. congrats to your Rangers

World Series bound again. :bounce:

[Major Nikon]

27. It was an awesome game

Detroit just fell apart in the 3rd inning. They will now have a few days rest before they have to go to Milwaukee or St. Louis.

[fishwax]

11. Virginia ahead of Georgia Tech 24-21 in the 4th quarter

But Tech has the ball near midfield.

[grasswire]

13. QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK -- that will tell you everything!

Game starts at 7:15 PDT.

Can't wait!!

[fishwax]

16. Good luck to the Ducks

I'm not sure how much they'll need it tonight, though.

[Taverner]

17. Go Beavs!

[fishwax]

18. Oklahoma's Ryan Broyles sets the record for most career receptions

In FBS history. :woohoo:

[Telly Savalas]

19. Overrated

Up by only 10 against my precious alma mater at halftime? That's weak.

Their coaching staff doesn't think their running game can advance the ball a yard and a half in 4 plays, so they call 3 incomplete passes in a row? Against the Jayhawks? Really?

[fishwax]

21. it's a texas hangover

It's not unusual for Oklahoma to underperform the week after the Red River Rivalry. I think the second half will tell a different story, though.

[liberaltrucker]

20. Auburn out scored Florida

But in reality Florida beat themselves. Their
special team sucked. But, a win is a win.


WAR EAGLE!!!!!!!

[fishwax]

22. that game was close for a long time

But congrats to Auburn on the win.

Huge game next week at LSU :toast:

[liberaltrucker]

24. Huge doesn't begin to describe it

We AU fans are rightfully a bit nervous.

Our A game didn't show up tonight. Will it
show up in Baton Rouge? Time will tell.

[fishwax]

25. Late games a little closer than expected

Oklahoma only up by 10 halfway through the third ...

Oregon up by 4 at halftime ...

[grasswire]

26. And the Ducks prevailed!

Lots of injuries in that game, though. Damn!

28. The Tide Rolled!
