Season is almost here and Peaches you are thought of often.  You would be proud of how far your Huskers have come.  Just wanted you to know you are not forgotten.  You put up a big fight and gave encouragement to so many.

Here's to our beloved Peaches.   ::monkeywine2::

GO BIG RED and love, Frijole

Sasn - Thanks for the thread change! And thanks for including Peaches! I still can't think of her without a few tears. She touched my life in a profound way, and I will never forget her.

She would definitely be happy that the Huskers are back in the hunt!


cuz - I think Arky should be ranked. Good luck to your team this season...except that one game against AU. The Hawgs scare me.....because they have owned AU lately ::piggy:: ::MonkeyEek::


texasmom - Thanks for the video! It's just perfect! Hope you'll hang around with us this year!



Kiwi...Are you laying in supplies? Rudi the cheerleading AU dog likes his treats, and I'm hoping we score a lot. Make sure we have a big bag of doggie goodies! He performs after each TD! ::MonkeyCheer4:: ::MonkeyHaHa::

God Bless Peaches!My prayers go out to all our Monkey squads, that the injury bug stays away.One of our highley touted freshman running backs(Deontae Cooper) tore his ACL... ::MonkeyMad::..He enrolled early in the spring time to get a head start, and looked great in spring and it carried over into Fall ball.

Here's Deontae's youtube from Citrus Hill High School.

To you Husker fans.Not sure if the news/rumors are making it your way in regards to our former TE Kavario Middleton transferring to Nebraska.Would be a nice pick up for Nebraska.Unfortunate that he couldn't keep things together at UW.If he cleans up is act,which I think Pellini will be great for that,He has the ability to be a first round NFL pick.While at Washington he was a TE with great hands,but wasn't much for blocking sotospeak!Most UW fans would like to see Kavario succeed at Nebrask, "If" that's where he lands.Not a bad kid.Just making some wrong decisions and with a change of scenery i think he'll mature a bit.Sometimes you need to get away from home,and those friends that don't have your best intersts!Scroll down the page a bit and you'll see a paragraph dedicated to it,as well as Condotta referencing his facebook saying he's going to Nebraska.

KTF - yep he is coming to NU.  Just read about it.. a total surprise.  We have another player with the same last name so perhaps related.. not sure.  His high school coach said he needed to get away from "home" and the bad influences he had in high school.  If anyone has a no tolerance for drugs policy it is Bo.  He kicked our starting running back off the team last year for using pot.  Zero tolerance.  I just read Bo met with him and read him the rules and the kid is on a very short lease.  Hope he takes advantage of getting a 2nd chance.  If anyone can straighten him out its Bo!

I don't believe there is a Husky fan that doesn't want to see Kavario succeed.From what I understand he truly is a great kid,caught up with some bad influences and,getting away should do the trick.I have spoken to his father a couple times after games,as I leave where the players tend to come out by the Legends center and they are GREAT people!I'm proud that Nebraska has embraced him and look forward to a native Washintonian return the blessings that he has been given.I do mean return the blessings on the field,as well as OFF the field.I trust that you'll keep me posted Frijole! ::MonkeyAngel::

On another note we just got a verbal commit from an instate kid who had offers from EVERY college in the country and the final two were TEXAS & WASHINGTON.He decided to stay home!You'll be hearing his name soon.....Austin Seferian-Jenkins  6-7/255/4.68 fourty...#3 TIGHT-END in the COUNTRY!Had offers from everybody in the country,and i do mean everybody.This just shows you what Coach Sark is doing up here in Seattle!!Maybe Peaches gave us one back for getting Middleton! ::MonkeyAngel::

From today's Lincoln paper... he is quoted:

http://www.huskerextra.com/articles/2010/08/17/football/doc4c69fdead4ace491581489.txt

His position coach, Ron Brown is one HELL of a coach and person.  He worked for Tom Osborne for decades.  He is very intense and very religious.  The young men LOVE him.  He couldn't be in better hands.  Hopefully he wants to change.  I laughed when he said Bo had him on a short leash.  So you know Bo was straight up with him.  Will keep you posted KTF. 

Ironically our only player that didn't make it from this year's recruits was a TE that failed academically... so we were lucky also.  Weird that you just landed a TE... Yep... Peaches... ::MonkeyAngel::

Thanks for the article Frijole!Now let's pray that Peaches brings us two teams that are undefeated come Sept 18th.That'll be a BIG time game nationally for both programs.So glad to see we've renewed the rivalry from years ago.It's a good one! ::MonkeyDance::

KTF - Thought you'd like this.  He was interviewed by a radio station here.  Link to audio.  Haven't figured out if related but we have a player named Lazzari Middleton and he's from Long Beach CA. 



Audio: Kavario Middleton on his decision to attend Nebraska
-Sounds like a nice young man who is grateful for a second chance....

--Bo was no-nonsense with him and told him what would it take to play at Nebraska.....

--Walk-on to earn a scholarship in Jan. 2011 if he meets all of the requirements Bo put down for him.....he is okay with walking-on.....will be in Lincoln late this week...

--Talked to alot of schools...(I've read Miami & Tennessee among others were interested in him)....

--Excited and ready to play at Nebraska....

--He believes Nebraska will have a huge challenge against Washington in Seattle....said Coach Sark is changing the culture in Seattle....

--Did not bad mouth Washington at all....(that says a lot to me)

The US News annual rankings of Universities was just released. During all this "Conference re-alignment" hub-bub this past spring/summer, Oklahoma State was always ridiculed for being "unranked - tier 3" in our rankings (last year). Our new ranking is #132 - Tier1 !! We are getting there slowly but surely. Much credit goes to our school President who has emabarked on a $1 billion foundation fund raising campaign. We have raised over $600 million in under a year's time!

Here's the link to see how your schools are matching up!!

Our Athletic Director (Mike Holder) is our former golf coach (12 National Championships) and a die-hard desciple of Boone Pickens. Much to the chagrin of many of our alums, he believes if we going to compete with the Oklahoma's and Texas' programs, we have to step up and pay the piper. He put his money where his mouth is and PERSONALLY donated $10 millon himself to his Alma Mater. Not only does he pick one game each year with a sky high ticket price -- he also doesn't sell single game tickets to these individual games -- you must buy season tickets! There are some OU alums that will buy our season tickets just to attend the "Bedlam" matchup! We have beautiful new facilities -- it is hard to bitch!

Thanks Frijole.Nice to see he's starting off on the right foot.It's all water under the bridge now and Kavario needs to keep his nose to the grindstone and he'll do BIG things in Lincoln and beyond.Maybe a phone call fru Suh might help as well! ::MonkeyCool:: He's a class act!

Here's an article where Kavarios high school coach backs the decision of Sarkisian.He also states that Sarkisian gave him every opportunity to succeed.Sometimes it's as simple as a change of scenery and I think all involved think it will be a life changer for Kavario!

Done deal: BYU to go independent in football

http://**/sltrib/cougars/50131959-88/byu-football-television-conference.html.csp

Was BYU scared of Boise St or,concerned with UTAH joining the PAC12?I think at this juncture it's not a very good move for BYU to go independent.I think it's a double edge sword.They say the're going to play 4 WAC teams which probably won't bring much of an audience,and they're going to have to schedule some BIG time programs potentially hurting their W/L record.It's an interesting dichotomy with the whole religion thing.Is a BIG time conference willing to bring them into the fold?Didn't seem like the Pac12 wanted them.Discuss!

When the Pac 10 was looking to go to 15 it was real obvious that BYU was not a 'fit' just like TX A&M isn't.  They also are geographically challenged like NU was.  They aren't a fit for the Big 12 either and they are too far away from any other BCS conference.  And yes religion is a part of that difference.  I'm not sure going it alone makes sense but I guarantee you someone in the Mormon church crunched some numbers and figured out they'd make more money with their own network and thus the decision.  Plus they get out of the non BCS conference discussion PROVIDED THAT they schedule some games that are with ranked teams.

That said... BYU is not Notre Dame.

It all boils down to BYU's refusal to play ANY games on Sunday. Not such a big deal for football, but deal breaker for sports like baseball.

BYU also gets a NCAA waiver for athletes that go on "missions". Their athletes can go off on missions for 3 or more years and return not having lost eligibility. Many of their athletes can be 27 or more more years old!

I still think that is the reason the power conferences don't want BYU. The WAC should be wetting themselves for BYU to join them. I think they would let BYU pretty much do as ever they please!

We lost 3 players for the season in less than a week.  Two to broken legs and one tore an ACL.  Luckily we are deep at each of those positions but you just ache for the kids.

OL kid was in his last year... he could get a medical year but he probably will move on as he graduated
LB kid was in best shape ever -
CB this kid tore his ACL 2 yrs ago and had an AWFUL rehab that took 1 1/2 yrs.  And he had another ACL tear.  Talented kid that was finally due to play some.  Like I said... you just feel so badly.

As you've probably read - Bo doesn't comment much on these things.  I did read that the two that broke legs were just freak accidents.  One with 3 minutes left in practice.

That said - we'll be fine.  Just hope its over.

::MonkeyHaHa:: ::MonkeyWink:: I should have read the article first! So, they are actually joining the WAC in all other sports but football. If I were them, I would just join the WAC in football as well - but DEMAND they would be allowed to have their own TV network (like the Big 12 allows).

This article with our game at BYU gives you some insight as to the TV for our game with them.If I'm correct,I believe the MWC controls this game not BYU.Although neither team is top tweny,one would think they could find a better channel then CBS's ugly cousin fester CBS college sports!Thank God I'll be there,cause the commentators for these 3rd tier slots SUCK!


"The game will be on CBS College Sports. Not CBS, but CBS College Sports, a network that is an offshoot of CBS."

I really want to thank San for keeping Peaches watching over this thread for all of us.  ::MonkeyKiss:: God bless our Peaches as well as her loving husband and daughter.

KTF, we had one game broadcast over that CBS College Sports and I agree, their commentators are awful.

Too much work and too little time to keep up with all the teams but will say I do think some very deserving teams are getting NCAA scrutiny due to their coaches !! Go get 'em !

I had to post this, it arrived from son on my cell phone at 5am this morning - he's doing well and enjoying his new coaching role but he has some real talent in his wr's but also some real "tude" to contend with. This photo is of "the hill" where punishment is meted out daily for those who can't do it right. If can see, that tiny white spot on the left is a big recruit who broke a team rule the day prior. Son's text with the message Good *&^% morning, do 20 on the hill"

That said I can tell he really cares about them too, he's hands on during practice, teaching them and as he says to be perfectionists? I wish him luck, won't be easy !

Thanks KTF and Frijole, I appreciate the support for son as he finds his way. I think he's in a trial by fire at times but as evidenced by all we see regarding players and behaviors in the media, I think it touches every program to some regard. So good to learn how to manage this sooner than later, right?

Oregon St. player dismissed after arrest

CORVALLIS, Ore. -- An Oregon State University offensive lineman has been dismissed from the team after police say they found him naked and intoxicated in a stranger's home and had to use stun guns to take him into custody.

Pac-10 blog
 ESPN.com's Ted Miller writes about all things Pac-10 in his conference blog.

• Blog network:
College Football Nation


Corvallis police say they received the call about a naked intruder early Sunday.

Responding officers ordered 19-year-old Tyler Patrick Thomas of Kalispell, Mont., to get on the ground, Lt. Tim Brewer said.

Thomas refused and instead dropped into a three-point stance like a football player and lunged at the officers, Brewer said. At that point, he said, two officers fired their stun guns.

Brewer said Thomas "absolutely was intoxicated" at the time.

Thomas was arrested on suspicion of criminal trespass, criminal mischief and resisting arrest. He was booked into the Benton County jail and later released.

A home phone listing for Thomas couldn't be found.

Oregon State coach Mike Riley dismissed Thomas from the team Monday, OSU athletics spokesman Steve Fenk said. Thomas redshirted during the Beavers' 2009 season.

Bo just loves dealing with the media as you no doubt know.  So when asked about starters you can imagine how patient and open he is in sharing information.  ::MonkeyDevil::

Here's today's "news":
He had no meaningful update on the quarterback situation. Asked if there was a chance Nebraska could rotate quarterbacks this season, he said, "There's a chance we could play 10 guys. Anything can happen."  ::MonkeyHaHa::

He said we'll find out the starting quarterback on Sept. 4 -- the day of Nebraska's opener against Western Kentucky.

"I'm not answering any quarterback questions," he said.

Based on Bo's comments, I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for a release of an official depth chart.

"Guys who trot out there for the first play are the starters. Until then, it's a competition to see who steps up," he said.

For Kiwi and anyone else traveling to the Emerald City!If you have any questions about a restaurant Kiwi,I will give you my opinion if I've eaten there!

None.Would it have been potentially called Etta's,and or the Athenian Inn?

Those would be the closest I would guess in regards to potentially where None ate.I may be wrong but,with Tom Douglas you're pretty sure to get great food and ambiance.His restaurant "Dahlia lounge" was in the movie Sleepless in Seattle but it has since moved!Enough Culinary info.... ::MonkeyAngel::

PDH many prayers have gone out today  ::MonkeyKiss::

KTF - Etta's sounds familiar but we had a big team that night, around 10 from Manila too and I can't say I have good recall regarding much of it. I've always enjoyed Seattle and yes, the locals are always welcoming too.

Kiwi - I searched my email but unfortunately I could not find your email addy, do you still have mine? If so, if you could bounce me one I'll respond. I should do better housekeeping with my personal email.

Well looks like LSU is going to have a guaranteed win for their season opener, the world has exploded at UNC fball today and it ain't Butch Davis' fault - he said it was the nanny !!!  ::MonkeyEek::

Butch is taking a beating on the fan boards for sure.........

this is a link to the press conference, it's a bit long and Davis the last of the three to speak but it's worth watching him.........honestly I sat there dumbfounded by his remarks.

Double digit members of the team to be suspended?!!!!!  That is some serious CHIT.  Can you imagine how that would kill a team?  Especially with all the pre season hype.  Think of the poor kids that actually studied and did it on their own?  I would be fuming.  Bet they lose some recruits over this as well.  I bet Davis will be canned before the season even starts, if not early into it.  You gotta know what your tutor/nanny is doing with your athletes.  LORD.

Indeed it is serious, in fact UNC brought in their "legal team" weeks ago which is why I think they are being so careful what is said publicly prior to completion of the investigation. I can't imagine that Davis didn't know this tutor was helping these athletes because I am very sure she didn't do it for free? Yes I feel for those student/athletes who do it on their own but often those are not the 'stars' as I think we see in this case.

I'm still flabbergasted at FSU not getting more serious sanctions then they did for their WIDESPREAD academic fraud within the academic department.What constitutes the death penalty?Seriously!

INDIANAPOLIS---The NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions has penalized Florida State University for major violations in its athletics program.

The case involved academic fraud affecting more than 60 student-athletes across 10 sports, as well as impermissible benefits, unethical conduct by three former academic support services staff members, and a failure to monitor by the university.

The sports programs involved in these violations include football, baseball, men's track and field, women's track and field, men's swimming, women's swimming, men's basketball, women's basketball, softball and men's golf.


Penalties for the violations include four years of probation, scholarship reductions,  vacation of records, and show-cause penalties for the former staff members.

PDH and I spoke today and she really does appreciate everyone's prayers, the first hurdle is past but now the longer race begins so we need to hold PDH and her daughter close in prayer for sometime to come.

I'm so glad we spoke too and it was just good to hear your voice. I hope you had good news at week's end too!

Son sent me a photo over his phone this morning of their resident pup, no not a pig but a pup - named Oliver. He belongs to the HC but he attends every practice and since son misses Big Red I'm glad he has a pup to love on there. I'll email the photo to myself and see if I can post it. Oh and he's a golden retriever and we plan to find or make a mascot bandana for him and ship it to them.

I agree KTF. I think UNC is getting so much scrutiny because for the first time in a long time, they are being ranked near the top for their defense this season. Typically the ACC is a basketball conference with few who excel in football as well - typically Va Tech has 'owned' football in the ACC since moving from Big East.

::MonkeyDance::

Yeah - they posted it when it was first installed on the Nebraska forums saying "heh guys we should do this - NOT"!  Couldn't believe someone actually approved that.  Hideous.  Do you know how hard that would be on the eyes of those in the stadium?  Bet it doesnt last 2 seasons. 



That would be enough to give me a migraine. And I don't even have migraines. It's hideous! ::MonkeyEek::






Pregame checklist:

cable - bill paid and in working order.
TV - new last season, HD flat screen. Good to go.
food - menu is wings from our favorite neighborhood place. Already ordered to be picked up at 5:30.
dog - trained, bathed, and excited. New Auburn bandana.
Xanax - not needed for this game. Saving for later in the season. ::MonkeyHaHa::

I think I'm ready!!! ::MonkeyDance::



WAR EAGLE!!!! ::MonkeyCheer4::

Interesting starts to games..

Missouri looking AWFUL

Penn State trailing Youngstown in the 2nd

Florida had negative yards offence in the first quarter.  They are really missing Tebow and crew.  They will get the W but they might have a tough season

Iowa spanking some directional school

Florida State has 15000 empty seats in the stadium.... sad... and spanking some school I never heard of 42-0 in the first half.  WOW.

Less than an hour til kick off an Bo still hasn't announced our QB.  Everyone is saying it is the redshirt freshman out of CA because he is a speed demon that can scramble.  Guess we'll know soon enough.  For some reason he wanted this under wraps. ha ha  Like the CIA. 

K State is playing well against UCLA... its probably because Annie has that purple scarf on... no doubt.   ::MonkeyWink::

Ole Miss got a bit of a scare didn't they? But I have a lotta faith in Coach Rader to get that young QB steadily improving - have to wonder how much Masoli really will play?

Fla State played Samford, it's a good private college in B'ham but better known for basketball then for football. I actually dated a very tall guy who played bball for them back in the day, he's administrator for one of the hospitals there now.

Yum on the goodies you made! I sure will trade some wings for those!


GO!!! So good to see you! What's up with the Badgers? They look to be pretty good this year from what I've read. Good luck to your team this season!


Cameron Newton was as advertised and more!!! Our offense is something to behold. But our defense needs some tweaking....
All things considered, though...I am happy with our opener, and with the win! WDE!!!

Before I transferred to UAB I went to Jacksonville State University.....and today my Gamecocks beat Houston Nutt and Ole Miss! ::MonkeyHaHa::
 ::MonkeyHaHa::
Jax State was a team that just would not stop. They took Ole Miss to overtime and then beat them.
 Jeremiah Masoli had a few moments of offensive showmanship , but he was a little rusty. He does seem to be very good though. I'm not sure how he'll do against SEC defenses. But I can see why Houston Nutt wanted him. He is very talented.

Ole Miss and Auburn may have the best QB1's in the SEC....sorry cuz!


Speaking of cuz....I hope the new job in the new town is everything you are hoping for! Sounds exciting!
Congrats on the Arky win also!



Watching the OK State Cowboys right now!  ::CowboySmiley::



So....Boise State or VaTech on Monday night?  I guess I'll go with the Hokies.

Great to hear from so many today!!!!!  GO Hope you can stay awake for the game.. I have to take naps to stay up that late. ha ha

Well we won and the speed demon lived up to the hype - great game for a redshirt freshman.  123 yds rushing I think only two passes that weren't caught but neither were on him.  First time we have EVER started one the first game.  Tommie Frazier started as a RSFreshman but the 4th or 5th game.  Offense looked pretty good today - much improved.  Defense... Bo was pissed... ha ha. 

Texas and Oklahoma both struggled today I saw.  Wreck looks like you all kicked some butt.  How did they look?

I read in an article this week that part of why Masoli was so awesome was because of the scheme they ran at Oregon and obviously his surrounding cast... they didnt think he'd be anything great at Ole Miss.  Guess we shall see.

None - good luck to your son tomorrow!  I will take one of each of those cupcakes. yum yum

None the Dawg House will definitely be open tomorrow! How many guests are expected?
Who brought those cup cakes today? Fab
GO- We were getting worried about you! Pdh was going to send out a search party. Your Badgers are looking fine!
Cuz- Another Michigan QB had a fine day for you. The other one that jumped camp led ASU Threet to a nice start of the season. Would have liked QB Forcier to have played some of todays Mich game. Wouldn't want him to be the 3rd to jump ship.
Bean- As good a day your QB had, Robinson for Mich had 198 rushing yards and 186 passing 19 of 22. Played 3qts of the game. He's smoking fast and gain 20 lbs over the off season. Just they should play Forcier once in awhile to reduce the wear and tear over a hole season. That being said the Defense was very lucky UConn was pretty good. Since its a one game season we should go to a bowl game now. Nuts,  ::MonkeyShovel::well maybe we can out score everyone. Hmmm Hmmmmm
KTF- Sorry your game was the only real game on our list. BYU was a more even match. Next week Mich plays ND to decide if RR stays or goes. If we play defense it would be nice. Hopefully we'll stop rushing 3 and letting the opposing QB's pick us apart. But hey we were only 87th in defense last year.

Kiwi - sounds like you got yourself a gamer.  Fantastic news!  How did your D look?  Sorry but I didn't see any of your game or any highlights.  It sure seems like the team made a huge statement to doubters.

We only played our 'starter' for about 1/2 game and I'm not sure they are done with this multiple QB thing which drives me crazy.

This kid had 123 on only 7 carries - averaged almost 18 yds per carry and he scored 3 TDs on thos 7 carries.  I can see giving the 2nd stringer some time but we put in last year's starter for a couple series and he looked pretty much the same.  I say let the new kid get more reps and the team get into rhythm.

Is the Wisconsin game still on?  ::MonkeyHaHa::  I haven't seen a score on that one... will go check.

Well, needless to say --I'm pretty stoked about how we looked last night! Granted, it was lowly Washington State, but they ARE a major conference team. Our new OC was fantastic and our RB who was hurt last year returned to his form from 2 years ago (257 yards on 21 carries - 208 at half time).
Bring on Troy next week!!!

None - good luck to your son tomorrow!  I will take one of each of those cupcakes. yum yum



Masoli looked really good yesterday....considering the circumstances. He hasn't even had time to practice much or familiarize himself with the Ole Miss offense. But I saw him do some really good things, so he is talented. He could make things happen if he gets the chance. Nutt was out-coached yesterday, which is a common occurrence with him. Masoli isn't used to the bone-crushing defenses in the SEC either, so he may have trouble adjusting to that too. But from what I saw that kid has a lot of talent.

Florida looked very shaky yesterday. They have a lot of work to do.

Breaking news - UNC's asst head coach John Blake just resigned..........be interesting to see what happens next. I have to say it was heartening to see UNC's QB Yates perform so well along with many other teammates, against all the adversity. Good to see the team can pull together against all the emotions and adversity.

Well I'm watching the Hokies vs the blue corn !

pdh - it was quite a hail mary but glad to see the pirates have a better qb that can throw it high. I'm not worried about the tigers this week, truly I think you'll have a relatively easy win.

this is a piggie ?  ::rhino:: what did I miss?  ::MonkeyHaHa::
The joke is on me.. last year we were talking about how we needed a hawg and that icon showed up... without paying much attention.. tee hee... i proclaimed it the Arkansas razorback.. and that is how we got the cute little jiggly pink pig.  ::MonkeyHaHa:: ::MonkeyHaHa:: ::MonkeyHaHa::

yes... am watching the game... am really surprised at Boise State.  Holy moly they shocked the heck out of VA Tech at the beginning of the game.  Glad VA Tech is fighting back.

Well another 2 minutes and VT would have been ahead. Congrad to BS. The real question, should I buy tickets to the NC Bowl game here in AZ? Looking at the next twelve or so games for Boise St, except for Oregon St we have one side of the Championship game.Some how that doesn't seem right for the top 20 teams that are left to play out after week one.

Kiwi that is why I was rooting for Va Tech.  Boise State's remaining schedule looks like everyone else's season openers.  Every week.  Cupcake after cupcake.  Hard to get respect with that schedule no matter how good you are.  I would be the coach's poll will reflect that.  If BS has any falters, even if they win, you can bet they'll lose votes.

We already have BCS madness at week 2.

I was pulling for the Hokies for the same reason. But I was afraid they'd lose, and they did.

I like Va. Tech.....but they are over-ranked every single year. Ever since the Michael Vick years they have been ranked higher than they should be, and they help boost another team up in the polls because they lose their opener to that team. Va Tech is a good team but not a # 10, and they never were even before last night. Their defense is awful, and it's what lost them the game. Boise State will benefit from what happened to Auburn in 2004 without earning it because they really don't play a tough schedule. If they go undefeated now...they'll be in the BCS because ESPN wants it that way. The media hype has begun along with the whining.

Well the season is on, one can tell from all the comments  ::MonkeyHaHa::

Even ESPN was discussing how rabid the debate will be around the Boise cupcake schedule and honestly I was shocked VT's defense didn't get their game on sooner. Foster has been the DC for Beamer for many years and even ESPN was stating how good he is? I don't feel qualified to comment for due to son, I know more about offensive strategies than defensive ones.

I liked the black helmets but I surely didn't like those orange cleats  ::MonkeyDevil::

Kiwi - buy some tickets for you can always sell them, even online. I can email you where to find those types of exchanges to sell tickets.

GO - replied to your email my friend

Cuz - you're going to have a tremendous season with your QB Mallet.......last night I was thinking just watching the first week of games ( not all but some) that this might well be the year of the QB for so many teams?

Our friend and fellow poster BigOrangeCrush lost his son to a sudden death recently. I know Bean has often asked about him and he's BigOrange due to his allegiance to UT. That said, they still don't have all of the medical answers regarding what caused his son's death yet but I know all of you share in the sympathy and prayers we want to send out to his family during this most difficult time.

I think it makes games very boring when all they do is run up and down the field with very little resistance.

I agree PDH, for example, watching Tulsa vs ECU those were my exact thoughts. Just score at will..........

I still say defense wins championships, in football and in basketball.

I saw the announcement about Bush and the Heismann and like you, I think it's disgraceful all around. Again, the BCS and ESPN fueled this 'build a dynasty at any cost' approach to college football and it's slowly destroying it now.

i jumped ahead of myself a week....we don't play alabama week after next ....we have to go thru georgia first. 2 tough games in a row.

I don't think he cared enough in the first place....and that's sorta the point. It's a matter of principle. It was never meant for a semi-pro athlete to even be nominated, let alone win. It should go to Vince Young.

At some point in time, the NCAA, and all these other organizations that are involved in college football...like the Heisman Committee...have to make these teams either respect the rules, and reinstate ethics in sports, or just give in and quit being hypocritical. They all ride the fence right now, and the Reggie Bush/Pete Carroll types play them for all it's worth...which is millions of dollars. The whole USC thing is a disgrace, but it was never a big secret. That just makes it that much worse.

PDH thanks for the links, I made it through most of them with the exception of the buy a car pop-up that bleacherreport has and I'd like to throw a brick at it !

Bottom line it appears these odds are primarily resting on the QB's shoulders, MSU's being very young. I dunno that I ever take an ESPN analyst seriously anymore so I discount that one. As for vegas odds, no expert on that.

A million things can happen to impact the outcome, from whose passing game synchs with their receivers on any given day, good or poor officiating, to injuries for defensive players, which players are "on" or "off", how many penalties occur, to even which way the wind is blowing..........sports analysts are a bit like the weatherman to me because of this  ::MonkeyHaHa::

You guys think Reggie will lose his trophy? I'm not sure he even cares anymore... ha





I don't think he cared enough in the first place....and that's sorta the point. It's a matter of principle. It was never meant for a semi-pro athlete to even be nominated, let alone win. It should go to Vince Young.

At some point in time, the NCAA, and all these other organizations that are involved in college football...like the Heisman Committee...have to make these teams either respect the rules, and reinstate ethics in sports, or just give in and quit being hypocritical. They all ride the fence right now, and the Reggie Bush/Pete Carroll types play them for all it's worth...which is millions of dollars. The whole USC thing is a disgrace, but it was never a big secret. That just makes it that much worse.

It really wasn't a secret was it? Mind blowing...........even now.

I don't know how many of you are watching the ripple in the pond of this NCAA agent investigation, for UNC is the high profile but the same investigation into the Miami party has now caused players to be suspended not only at UNC but also at Alabama, South Carolina, and UGA.

weird I hadn't heard anything yet today None.  I knew he was the line coach here - I remember he couldn't coach for chit... you saw our D... but that he was all about recruiting.  Not sure if he was here one or two seasons under Clownahan.  Not too worried - we didn't have alot of folks going pro during that 'era'.   ::MonkeyDevil::

But to be a vp at an agency and double dip like that.... that man will fry.

First of all I am watching PDH's game and so far, her War Eagles are doing a fine job! Score in the 3rd is 17 to 7 ! Defense does need to work a bit harder in the secondary so hoping they can close that gap asap.

Bean - Yahoo News broke the story today, it seems they located an internet screenshot from Wichard's site to verify Blake was listed there as a VP during his tenure at MSU and OK.

wreck - one has to wonder why the Heels ever hired Blake because it appears he had 'issues' from way back? Glad you see the humor in his history !

Wow...this game is intense... whichever teams finds defense wins.  I'm surprised - this is reversal... Auburn's O is better than its D.  Hopefully it will come with reps.  Cheering 'em on PDH.  QBs are both HUGE.

None -I'm watching it......because Saban mouthed off about agents publically. One of the agents then made veiled remarks about coaches with things to hide who shouldn't be criticizing others.  ::MonkeyEek::
I have a feeling he made some powerful enemies with that remark and things will get very ugly before all of this is over. The NCAA is looking at Bama now too, and they are already on probation.
During Pete Carroll's entire tenure at USC the NCAA stood by and did nothing. Now all of a sudden they have decided to start cleaning things up?
I wonder about the NCAA. Just what made them get up and do their job? Was it because all the infractions were getting to be so public, and so far out of hand that something finally had to be done?

Oh Lordy I know it Kiwi! It's that bad ESPN football juju again! I like it better when they write us off. ::MonkeyEek::

Kirk Herbstreit did predict that Auburn would win the SEC West a few weeks ago. He's about the only one that ever gives us any credit on ESPN. Things have not been good between Auburn and ESPN since they were part of the media manipulation in 2004 that probably cost us a National Championship.


I'm just glad we managed to hold off MSU.  Dan Mullen has them going in the right direction, and they were very well coached last night. They had a great game plan. Another year of recruiting, and the MSU Dawgs will be back in the fight fully loaded again. They  heavily recruited Cameron Newton too, and he almost went there because he had a relationship with Dan Mullen from his Florida days. Just imagine if he'd been on the other side last night! ::MonkeyEek::

Cameron Newton is a very Tebow-esque QB1, and I'm thankful that he's an Auburn Tiger!!!

Defense wins championships! I was glad to see tough defense being played by both sides last night. Traditional SEC football is what I love the most.

For some reason, Auburn and MSU in particular always seem to have a tough defensive battle. I think it makes for a much better game. Last night was exciting to watch. Our defense did a great job, even with all the inexperienced young players we have. My personal MVP was Nick Fairley....Big # 90! He really did an amazing job!


WDE!



So wreck....watch out for Troy! They are upset specialists.

Bama and Penn St. - Gotta go with Bama

Miami and OSU.....Maybe Miami.

Big Z is fine. He posted on his Twitter that he's OK and will play next week. I think it was a precautionary move to take him out since his back-up is also a stellar player and did a fine job filling in on the fly. As you well know...the SEC is a rough place to play football, and Big Z wants to continue his streak of being a first stringer who has never missed starting a game. Plus he has a future in the NFL....

We have several players from Arkansas on our roster, don't we? Ziemba's parents went to Auburn, so it was no contest for him, even growing up in Little Rock.
We also have Kodi Burns and Michael Dyer.

At tomorrow's football game, college football coaches and sideline personnel at Nebraska will honor the men and women that help keep America safe by wearing the Stars and Stripes Collection by adidas. On-field staff will wear the red, white and blue themed apparel and headwear to celebrate, honor and thank those who have served the country. Fans can purchase these special items at HUSKERS.COM and a precentage of all proceed will go towards providing financial assistant to our men and women in uniform

Just watched the end of the UGA vs SC game and ole visor man looked pretty happy at the end.

Cuz, you should be okay next week for sure now, UGA has some real issues to work through beyond not having AJ Green this week.

I hope everyone is having a fun football weekend, son's game is later so keeping my fingers and toes crossed for them. Had my first long conversation with him last night and he sounded really tired, but shared some stories from the last game - seems that there was one official that he tangled with throughout the game.

Well Michigan pulled that off without a defense. Denard Robinson the QB carried for 258 yards and 2TD, One for 87yards second longest in ND history. He passed for 244 yards and went 24-40 on pass completion, combined for 502 yards offense. I couldn't find the total yards for the team numbers yet. If they can learn this defense by the end of the year we may give the other OSU a run for the last game. Last I checked our OSU  ::CowboySmiley:: was beating Troy.
I'll get right on fixing that TV after that play that put ND up at the 3min mark or so. ::MonkeyNoNo::

Kiwi - I was actually able to watch the last quarter of your game.  Had to laugh - your QB is all over the Husker Boards.  All saying this guy is a stud and we can't wait to play him.  That was a great come from behind - though frankly your D shouldn't have allowed ND to even be in the game... but you know that.  Hopefully they will progress and give that poor QB a break. 

Lots of good games today and lots of surprise upsets.  Yeah.  Wow to both Kansas win as well as the VA TECH loss.  Boise State BCS bid hurt by this for sure.

Last week our O led the way and D was suspect.  This week our D played unreal - two defensive touchdowns off of interceptions.  (the Utah QB is on several watch lists - a good player)  4 or 5 sacks.  Love our defense - it is so fun to watch.  Our O made some mistakes that need to be cleaned up if we are to play in Washington next week. 

Watching a bit of the TX vs Wyoming game... not impressed at all with TX so far.  Actually shocked.  Wyoming was up towards the end of the 2nd qtr and TX had only been able to score a couple field goals.  I'd like to see them come to Lincoln undefeated but they play TTech next week.  I think the new O strategy of running is hurting them.

TN beating up on the Ducks?!!!  Strange season huh?

Wreck.. they'll get it together and win.. pre season games can be fickle.

Saw Cuz is winning also and GO's team got a W today.

Congrats to Bean and to wreck on your wins !!  ::MonkeyCheer4::

Kiwi, looks like RR just re-secured his job  ::MonkeyWink::

Cuz, looks like Arkansas has a lock-down for a win !!  ::MonkeyDance::

Don't know if any of you are watching the Penn St/Bama game and I had to feel for Bolden being a true freshman but I think he will have a bright future. As for Richardson the RB golly gee, do they even need Ingram now? Julio looks a lot better than last season but my oh my, I do love McElroy. Son texted with him about a week ago just before his Rhodes scholar interview and none of us are surprised by his continued excellence. You could never meet a finer young man but so glad to see him pound his chest in leadership and play so well tonight. He has always been such a good friend to son even post son's transfer.

I think I have a serious momma crush  ::MonkeyHaHa::

not really a lock down none! but, we will take it!!!
it was only 7 to 0 at halftime and ended up 31 t to 7! our defense was awesome the whole game except for 1 late 4th quarter drive but still held them to under 200 yard total offense.
our offense was out of sync the first half but got it rolling(kudos to ulm's strange defense that caused the confusion at first).....mallett ended up 65% completion rate for 400 yards, 3 passing td's, 1 rushing td and 1 int!

dang....georgia is going to be hot after losing to s.carollina...and we have to play them in athens! guess we find out if we are for real next sat. will be out of pocket all next week....but will be thinking of you guys and watching football sat.....wishing everybody success!!

cuz is AJ Green back next game? I have no idea how long his suspension is but he deserved it for selling his jersey - what a stupid thing to do. Word is someone connected to the UNC fiasco actually purchased it from him. More word out today that John Blake is really at the center of the agent pay-off's to players.......but the tentacles have reached all across the SEC with the exception of a few - including your Hawgs which I know you're grateful for.

God Bless You.

Your Vols now have a pretty talented guy as the new coach. I think TN. is well on it's way back. I was pulling for the Vols tonight, but it was a rough one. I still think Dooley will pull out a good season for TN anyway.

Troy is a very fine team, with a spectacular coach who came from Auburn to Troy after Pat Dye stepped down as head coach. I knew they'd be tough. Congrats on the win! ::CowboySmiley::




Also congrats to Kiwi. cuz, GO and Beans!!!  The SM bunch had a pretty good week.


South Carolina looked very good. Their RB Marcus Lattimore is the real deal. Auburn recruited him heavily, but he's a So. Carolina kid who wanted to stay close to home.

I knew Va. Tech was not a very good team. I wasn't surprised by their loss today. They may lose more games as the season goes on. They have no defense and a young QB1. Boise St. has no place being ranked #1. I'm not sure they're even a top 10 team.

The FL. Gators have found their game at last, and they looked really good today.

Penn State was another over ranked team, and I thought they had no chance against Bama. That was a very boring game.

Congratulations to Turner Gill and the Jayhawks. I hope he is very successful there.

Oregon came on STRONG in the 2nd half.  Weird game.  Wonder what was going on first half?  TN does look to be in good hands.  It will take a couple years to get over "kiffin gate". 

Likewise TX came back pretty good.  But boy do they miss their QB and WR duo.  That game was just boring.  Perhaps they are saving the good stuff for conference play. 

Lots of wins yesterday!  Of the games I watched, most impressed with improvement at Michigan.  Hope their D can step it up in future games.

My Vols were beat by a superior team even tho we were tied at half 13-13. We have no depth and Oregon had waves of quick players. We just ran out of gas. The back breaker was when the Ducks had scored and were up 20-13 and we were driving and we had a 80 yard interception return.

Several monkeys have ask about how I liked Kiffin. My opinion is that he was a brash West Coast guy and he rubbed most of The Old School Southerners the wrong way. He said he was trying to bring attention to the program. I think it was the wrong way to bring attention. I can not blame him for taking his dream job. It just at a time that destroyed the Vols recruiting before Dooley could get on track. I think Dooley will do a fine job if Vol fans will give him 4 years.

Everyone needs to refresh me with which college teams they support. I know of you support several. Maybe your top 3.

You and son are so much alike Bean, just two weeks ago he called and gave me a dissertation on how his players just had not learned that anything less than perfection isn't enough? I told him not to be so hard on them  ::MonkeyHaHa::

As for the low-life Missouri captain I hope they lock him up and throw away the key! Jeez that's so disheartening to know a supposed team leader would do this twice???

We had some irony tonight, after all of my posts about UNC's issues currently.........daughter and I went to the japanese steak house for dinner after working all weekend.........ended up sitting at the grill table with the 'stars' on the UNC women's basketball team? One male football player too but I have to say they were all mature, friendly and lovely people. The flip side of all the negatives are all the talented and committed players that day-in and day-out work hard and do their best. We promised to make a couple of games, they said UConn is going to be their toughest challenge this season.

Heh None - here's some material for son:

The coaching legend John Wooden once said, "Perfection is an impossibility but striving for perfection is not." Pelini offered his take on the matter when he met with his linebackers before Saturday's game.

"They say you shouldn't coach perfection because it's a road to failure, because nobody is perfect. The people who say that are losers," Pelini said

BOC - Great to see you posting!
Kiffen was a terrible fit for the SEC. He has neither the smarts nor the personality for a storied program like TN. It was a blessing in disguise when he ran off, and now Dooley Jr. will bring the Vols back.


I am first an Auburn fan, but I support all SEC teams when they are not playing AU. I also support my monkey friends and their teams.  ::MonkeyCheer4::


For all you monkeys who watched the Auburn - MSU game...you may remember the big Auburn defensive guy # 90 Nick Fairley. It looks like he got SEC Defensive player of the week. Last week Cam Newton our QB1 got the offensive player of the week, so we seem to be putting things together on both sides of the ball a little better than last year!

The interesting thing is that everyone says that Bo is not really a meanie... he is emotional.  He's like the guy you know that you think is a mean SOB but really a pussy cat at heart.  Fans and media don't get to see that.  Players love him to death for it. 

Saw that article on the QBs earlier.  Pretty cool... especially given how awful the Offenses were at Auburn, Michigan and NU last year.  Main thing is can they play with the big boys.  I am excited but will contain myself until we make it thru the next few hurdles... but our little guy can scamper.  His average carry is like 15 or more yards.  He doesn't have alot of carries or reps yet though because he keeps scoring on long runs and our D scores.  So we need more reps for him!

Kiffin and Oregeron were great recruiters, but I think we would have been major trouble with NCAA is a short period.  We can still be in trouble for some of his  dealings.He did have a beautiful wife in Layla. As None said Dooley's are a class act and now we need to see if he can coach and recruit with big boys!

Cam Newton is some kind of athlete. Florida's loss is our gain....and we are very happy to have Cam.

I also agree with his assessment of Marcus Lattimore at South Carolina. He's one fast and agile beast. I fear the Gamecocks this year. ::MonkeyEek::



beans - I never thought Bo was a meanie. He's just a man of few words, and few pretensions, but he seems intense. There's nothing wrong with that. His LSU players loved him, and he's a great teacher of young men.


College Game Day on ESPN is at Auburn this week. We play the always hot and cold team from Clemson. Who knows which team will show up for them, but Auburn needs to bring it all and win the game.

One more thing nonesy....
Please ask Nascar to once again help me defeat the bad ESPN football juju. If they're hangin' out in Auburn all day...it will take some powerful Nascar Winner Mojo headed down to the Jordan-Hare Stadium. ::MonkeyEek::

So bean you watch our game. The offense still has room to grow, since Robinson is still only a Sophomore. I wouldn't mind seeing Forcie play at least half of next weeks game just in case Robinson gets banged up during the season. Some day our defense will stop sending 3 on the prevent. It seems like if you give someone 10 seconds to find a receiver they will.

Yep.  My concern for Robinson is that if he keeps being accountable for 98% of the offense he will end up hurt and that will hurt the team.  I don't know enough about the other players but I sure hope they can contribute and give this lad a break!  He is phenomenal.  He deserves a supporting cast! Should be exciting to see him play a few more years.. and yes - backup QB's should always be thrown in the mix so that they have game day experience as well.  I'll be cheering this young man on.

Robinson seems very supportive on the sidelines this year and last, even it he wasn't playing. It was good to see RR corrected Forcier on the sidelines. First game he was alone on the bench trying to hide from cameras. At the ND game RR had him next him with a headset on and involved in the game. Good to see he realizes there both 19 or 18 yr old sophomores. The media can definitely get in your face at a game.

So Reggie Bush gave up the Heisman today.   Never said he's sorry yet to USC.  What a shame.  I bet he'll miss that trophy.  Not.  Consequences are hurting other young men and a university that gave him a free education and the spring board to the fame he now enjoys.  Shame on you Reggie.  Shame.

PDH - mission accomplished, NASCAR is casting strong winning mojo toward the Tigers, I spoke with him a few minutes ago. He also said his life would be far better if only those he is coaching realized that SEC football is a religion in the south  ::MonkeyHaHa::

Bean I didn't see that about Bush returning the heismann until I saw your post, then ran to read the news on it. Yep, he's not too sorry and neither is Carroll. Just rape the program and move on, right?

I saw this tonight and I have such concerns, son has headaches even now and I have worried all of those hits and tackles might be the origin for this. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=5569329  I also saw a news clip of several NFL players that post hard hits this fall in games, were stumbling and unable to stand up readily or when they did, they wobbled and fell to the ground - both were put back into the game within a quarter and both were diagnosed post the game with concussions. This has to stop.......

Saw this tonight too, I don't think it's reactionary unlike the FL player's attorney post what happened with the rugby player killing his former girlfriend at UVA. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=5570905

So..........who's truly worried about their game this weekend? (PDH we know lol)........so we can start sending win mojo your way.

So bean you watch our game. The offense still has room to grow, since Robinson is still only a Sophomore. I wouldn't mind seeing Forcie play at least half of next weeks game just in case Robinson gets banged up during the season. Some day our defense will stop sending 3 on the prevent. It seems like if you give someone 10 seconds to find a receiver they will.


Yep.  My concern for Robinson is that if he keeps being accountable for 98% of the offense he will end up hurt and that will hurt the team.  I don't know enough about the other players but I sure hope they can contribute and give this lad a break!  He is phenomenal.  He deserves a supporting cast! Should be exciting to see him play a few more years.. and yes - backup QB's should always be thrown in the mix so that they have game day experience as well.  I'll be cheering this young man on.
Robinson seems very supportive on the sidelines this year and last, even it he wasn't playing. It was good to see RR corrected Forcier on the sidelines. First game he was alone on the bench trying to hide from cameras. At the ND game RR had him next him with a headset on and involved in the game. Good to see he realizes there both 19 or 18 yr old sophomores. The media can definitely get in your face at a game.

I need to check your QB situation out, have to admit I've not had time to do much this week besides work.

The media gets in their face everyday when they leave practice, follow them to their cars like papparazzi and yes, at games they are in their face too. It's a lot for a young player to handle or even a more senior one.

Who's worried?!  Me!  I'm scared chitless every game no matter what.  This week moreso.  We play at Washington against Jake Locker.  Not so worried about the D - we have a redshirt freshman QB who rocked but against two easy teams.  This will be interesting.  He's young and will make mistakes.  Just hope he continues with his 50 yd scampers this week.

Washington is a very loud stadium - loudest in country I read.  Good news is that we expect 20000 Husker fans to be there - for real.  I was at the last game in 97 - a beautiful place.

Very interesting that a few places like LSU, Florida, Georgia, Ohio State,Oregon, Auburn, PSU and Va Tech are mentioned in several articles.
My vote is for LSU. It's so loud down there that your ears literally ring for hours afterward.

Washington had the loudest game ever reccorded. But beans...there is hope. It was just that one game.... ::rhino::

A TON of Nebraskans move/retire to Washington, Oregon and California.  I am not reading we could have as many as 25,000 fans there.  The stadium only holds 72000 so the noise will work both ways!  One fan who went to the NU game at VA Tech last year decided to purchase $10,000 worth of tickets and sell them exclusively to NU fans.  He bought them LAST YEAR.  The ticket office at Seattle said people starting asking to buy tickets in 2007.  ::MonkeyDevil::

Bean when the swarm comes to Ann Arbor,  the tailgate stuff is not like ASU.  There is very little parking at the stadium directly. 113,000 plus parks on the side streets up to half a mile away and walks. Kind of fun when just a few turns into tens of thousands as you get closer. Noise doesn't seem to be a big factor there.  The bowl seems to not hold sound well or the crowd just doesn't yell unless there is a TD. When you get closer to going I can suggest some places to stay and eat.

I used to travel to Detroit a lot so one time I hopped over to Ann Arbor. When you see the stadium on TV for so many years, you do not realize that it is completely below ground level. I drove up thinking I would see a towering edifice -- but, I got out of the car and peeked down an entrance ramp to see the HUGE stadium below me!! Impressive!  ::MonkeyCool::

I wish I was going to the game in Auburn this weekend. With College Game Day there it's going to be a fabulous day down there on The Plains. They are having an "ALL IN" at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Everybody is supposed to wear All Blue, and be "ALL IN" for the football team and the game. Coach Chizik called an impromptu meeting tonight for the students and thousands of kids showed up. He asked for everybody to be "ALL IN" and help the team win this weekend.

none- Was Nascar ever worried about playing in the SEC?
That's a really cool picture. Bama is quite a place.


These kids all knew it was wrong to go to that party. They gambled and lost. It's just too bad that that their teams and others were hurt by it.

Wreck you'll like this. A few years ago I took my son to a Michigan game. We flew in, bought tickets on line. The last 2 of 6 out of 106,000 seats. I get there and of course you can buy a ticket for any section. We find our row somewhere in the end-zone, except our seats are 50 deep and only one way in. Since you sit on concrete and not actual seats, all 50 people are seated shoulder to shoulder. Actually the whole section is seated and full. So we slide in and make 50 very unhappy fans all move down 2 seats, while the game is going. Bean this is important, be early not late when you go! We had Michigan T-shirts on. I can only imagine what would happen for Husker fans asking 50 to move. Even more important bring seat cushions!

I love hearing about Chiznik's pep rally PDH, I wish you could make that game too.

Nascar has always set his sights high PDH, he probably was intimidated but he didn't let it show. The Bama coaches also really welcomed him and acted as if he was just as important as any other high profile recruit, which speaks volumes about them as a group and as people I think. One of the things I remember most is how some of the more senior players really tested him in practice. Once son didn't call home for two weeks during his redshirt season which was very unusual, I finally got worried enough to call his roommate who told me son had a very bad sore throat but would call me soon as he could talk well. I found out later that a 'star' on the team on defense clipped son in the throat during practice and son took it and probably was injured, but refused to admit it not wanting to miss practice but also to save face. That player is in the NFL now........he's quite a good defensive player.

Son revered the legacy of Bear at Bama and also thought the world of each of his coaches and his teammates. I think he was sad to leave but knew Saban wasn't the best fit for him.

boy that was long-winded LOL

Kiwi - I bet that getting an entire row to move over during a game was not fun ! I can imagine that concrete is bone-chilling too. Even with seats in the club section at some stadiums I always take a seat cushion! I bet Bean has some big, bright, red ones !   ::MonkeySkate::

Thanks for the advice!  The stands in Lincoln are almost full 1 hr before the game - we like to watch them warm up and get settled ourselves so barring problems with parking I'd probably be the first in the row! ha.  Wow.  concrete seats?  Ouch.  Yep... big red seats for sure.  Do they allow the kind with seat backs?  So where does everyone tailgate if parking is such a beech?

I get somewhat irritated when people around me are still getting to their seats and are blocking my view. I would be considerate of others and wait until the eagle flight was over, or until the team was on the field...... ::MonkeyMad::::MonkeyHaHa::

As a student there we just walked in. Now I just park by the stadium on someones lawn for 20 bucks. There may be a parking lot on the north side. Best bet is to look at a satellite photo and see if there is a spot for tailgating and call to see if its some kind of reserve area. You may have to find it and post on Husker web sites the exact spot. Or else your 20,000 are going to be parking in different areas scattered around the city and walking. You could start this off Bean! Setting up the first tailgate party the city has ever seen. Here at ASU as you remember we are set up around the stadium on the North and East side. The last time ASU played Neb here, that was my first time seeing more fans and tailgate parties than the home team. So if you want to make a dent in 113k plus, mais and blue fans your going to have to prepare. But hey thats one reason why they asked Neb to join the Big Ten. Whats the date of that game maybe its time for a visit? Yes you need to bring a cushion!!

That was hysterical! That morning radio show is broadcast from Birmingham, my home town, and I have been listening to Rick and Bubba for years. Rick's son Blake Burgess actually plays for Auburn, and so did Rick's Dad, Bill Burgess. Bill Burgess was also the football coach at Jacksonville State University for many years.... ::MonkeyHaHa::

Rick Burgess and is wife Sheri lost their toddler son about 2 years ago....he drowned in the family pool. It was really awful. Blake Burgess talked about it in an interview not long ago. Here's the link...

so pdh & bean, got your game gear ready to roll??  Sending you winning mojo !!!

Thanks for the mojo for son's team but alas, their first loss of the season - 55 to 52 at the buzzer........shouldn't have happened but it did. Son took it fairly well for his players made all of the TD's but also spoke about 2 plays that were key that could have changed the outcome. He said he had already assigned hill-runs and they hadn't even loaded up the bus yet ! Lessons learned.....onward and upward as they say. FYI, a smart-mouth opposing player literally came over to son's team's bench to slap down a player - son caught him and literally picked him up by the back of his shirt and escorted him on his tippy-toes back to his coaches. Turns out the kid broke his leg a few plays later, no illegal hit either.........some kinda karma on that one. I just don't think I've ever seen a player do that in any fball game? Have ya'll ever heard of going over to the opposing team's bench to assault a player?  ::MonkeyShocked::

Good luck to everyone today - mojo for wins coming your way !!  ::MonkeyCheer4::

WOW PDH... what a game!  Holy cow.  Congrats.  Brutal is right.  Big 12 officials would have called some head to head penalties on those injuries too.  Man what a game.

Congrats to everyone on the W's.  Some real head scratchers in the Big 12 huh Wreck?  Missouri almost lost so San Diego State.. I mean almost lost as in seconds.  TX A&M almost lost to ?Florida Intl (I think it was) same thing.. very end pulled it out.  Oklahoma vs Air Force - who saw that game?  Score made it look close???!!!

Yes, proud of the Huskers.  Very young team.  We have 5 or 6 starters out for all or most of season including both middle LBs.  Youngsters have stepped up and so yes we have some 'bonehead' mistakes as Bo would say but boy did the deliver on both sides of the ball today.  Hope some of you got to see Taylor Martinez our QB.  He is special.

Oh and they are saying between 30 and 35 THOUSAND Husker fans were at the game.  That stadium is just so gorgeous and it is a great venue... I was really regretting not going and remembering my trip there in 97 all day today.

Watching Tx vs TTech now.  Was really close but TX is ahead by 10 now. Good game so far.

I saw UAB's win also PDH, son spoke with their head coach just a week ago, that program really is on build mode.

I think lots of Bill Curry as well, I think he will put that program on the map.

My next door neighbor passed away in his sleep this morning so it's been a tough day so far, helping to support his wife until their children arrive. I saw him late yesterday as I walked our pup and he liking football too, I told him to be sure to watch the AU game and his wife said he did and got very excited that they won. He was in failing health for years and in his late 70's but PDH, AU has a new angel watching over them. So does son.........sigh.

Yes, CRAZY games in the Big 12! Oklahoma and Air Force were close most of the game, then Oklahoma pulled away. Air Force then came back with 2 late touch downs.

The OSU - Tulsa game wasn't as close as the score (65-28)! We pulled our starters after the first series of the second half ( one play - an 81 yard TD pass). It was 58 - 7 midway thru the 3rd quarter. We played true and red-shirt freshmen the rest of the way!

oh short week for your team wreck, glad they won and no injuries?

pdh, thank you.

This is going to be an explosive interview in our parts tomorrow night - Dr Friday was president of UNC for many years and thought of as a true icon. I've met him a few times when I served on endowment board and he is that quality leadership we all hope for. In any event, the 'teasers' state how he's not been to a college football game in years, that he knows too much.........I'm unsure if this is going to be a slam against just agents but I hope it's a dissertation on far more than that. Hopefully they will post a video link tomorrow night I can share and not just a transcript. http://orange.mync.com/site/Orange/news/story/55362/get-answers-why-bill-friday-calls-college-football-manipulated/

It's half-time in the Peyton brother's game and Bob Costa is detailing how critical it is to change the attitudes and practices associated with concussion/cranial injuries in the NFL ! Geez I hope  he can start a revolution.........

They need an enterprising neurologist to create a better helmet, or change the rules for tackling. One of our smaller backs got his bell rung Saturday night, but he seems OK now. Plus we lost a defensive player for the rest of the year with a broken ankle. Clemson's QB1 has bruised ribs, and one of their guys has a leg injury too- possibly a broken bone judging by the treatment he received on the field. It was a very hard hitting game. In the NFL that's the way every game is played week after week. Bodies can't take that kind of punishment on a regular basis without some permanent damage. Running backs, receivers, and QB's are especially vulnerable to devastating injuries. Something can be done to protect them a little better.


UNC is in a heap of trouble right now nonesy, but this whole thing may get very ugly when all the facts are known about all of it. There's no telling where all this will lead...or to whom. If the agents feel that their backs are against the wall due to this...they may tell all they know about everybody.

I do have a link to Dr Friday's interview tonight, he was overall head of the university system, not just UNC. Shades of Beer & Circus but at this moment, he's the only former or current official I've heard willing to state the truth out in the open......

http://orange.mync.com/site/Orange/news/story/55362/get-answers-why-bill-friday-calls-college-football-manipulated/

He hasn't been to a university football game in 5 years........which coincides with the Saban hire at any cost.

This was sad to see, Kenny McKinley - Broncos and former SC/Spurrier WR, possible suicide: http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5iVHptSr08tE4Rvp6Q1Zdd5ifzotAD9IC1I101

Dr. Friday and I are on the same page! I have posted here that BIG MONEY and the media have ruined college football. If the university would pay the players a stipend like they do graduate students, then the temptation would not be so strong. Lots of these kids have virtually no money, and they can't work.
I also think excessive salaries for college coaches should stop too. The NCAA needs to clean house across the board, and stop letting the Pete Carroll type of coaches get away with this stuff for 10 years before doing anything. Either that, or stop being hypocritical, and just let agents give money to the players out in the open.


Title: Re: FOOTBALL WITH FRIJOLE #3 8/14/10 -
Post by: nonesuche on September 21, 2010, 06:52:25 PM
PDH I agree with Dr Friday as well and it's a real statement for him to speak out in this way, but he is from an era that seemed to value ethics and wisdom far more. It will be interesting to see now that he "outted" the exact Millions of dollars being spent on football at UNC, that it will pressure some scrutiny. I guess all we can do is hope and pray.

I also think the NCAA needs to hire you PDH !

Wow thanks none!  I'd clean house across the board that's for sure.  ::MonkeyMad::

 Millions of dollars are being made on the backs of these kids who play collegiate sports. I do not think it would be so awful to share a little of it with the kids who make coaches millionaires. Athletes are not like other scholarship students. Athletes literally put their bodies at risk for a college degree and a chance in life, and some suffer life-altering injuries. If an athlete needs extra financial assistance it should be allowed.

Auburn is playing So. Carolina....and they are a pretty good team this year. Spurrier is finally getting a winning team put together.

The game is on ESPN again...so all the bad juju is flowing again. It almost got us last week. Please send all the good mojo you can down to Auburn.
I'm not talking about it anymore because I'm so superstitious.... ::MonkeyEek::

cuz...Take 'em down for me! If your team can get to McElroy and bag him, then you have a good chance of shocking the Tide. I wish you luck, because they are tough this year.


beans...LOL! I would do the same thing. I'm just grateful that Auburn's games are televised on ESPN a lot, or Fox or CSS. ::MonkeyCheer4::


Good luck to GO's team!

BOC - I hope the Vols can win if they are playing this weekend. I haven't checked their schedule yet.

pd...gamecocks are very good this year....go get em tigers!!!
been a crazy week for the razorback nation....big build up d/t mallett's show last week....he was named to all kinds of national player of the week awards. hope our offensive line can hold back bama's defense....if not, we are screwed since our running game is pitiful! bama is so deep and tough.......but i believe!! ::MonkeyAngel::
as far as our defense....i am so proud of how far they have come from last year...like night and day! did anybody see the hit jake bequette made on georgia's qb to get the ball back on our last drive? man....knocked the qb's helmet off and flattened him! plus jake is one cutie pie!!!!lol! ::MonkeyCool::


This might make you feel a little better considering who Bama has played so far.... ::piggy::

The Stats:

Bama is last in the SEC in sacks and TFLs

Arky is first in the SEC...with 12 sacks total and 6 against GA alone. ::piggy::


I think it will be a great game!



I looked today and the TN Vols play UAB!!!!  OH MY!!!

Sorry BOC!  I went to school at UAB....so...GO BLAZERS!!! ::MonkeyCheer4::

But I don't think the Blazers can pull it off. Good Luck to the Vols!

Here's another article. I wonder if this will make the NCAA take a look?

http://oversigning.com/testing/

WOW, this is like the year of the truth in football  ::MonkeyCool::

Saban cares only about winning, it's not personal to him because he doesn't build close relationships with anyone but boosters & that is only a means to an end. Bama wanted a NC above all else and he delivered, the boosters were willing to pay for it. It's a business, much like corporate america and Wall Street.

To be fair, the good things about Saban is that he's obviously good at spotting talent and cultivating talent, and at building a system to develop players. His strength & conditioning program is likely the best in the country, and you don't gain a starting position without working your a&& off either, regardless of who you are. However, he does give scholarships to players whose father's have tight relationships with boosters and it appears he's done that again with two this season.

That said, a colleague at work I greatly respect stated that we're watching the death of the american dream at this moment, and it appears college football is not exempt. What do players learn from coaches that play the system to their benefit, despite the ethics or lack thereof? What kind of men do they become as a result after football? I don't think the analysts are surveying those impacts........nor will they ever.

Hopefully these articles and those willing to write them continue to push to expose this, or those like Dr Friday will continue to speak out about the issues, the greed driving them, and the impacts.

Some of the players profiled in the last article PDH posted like Alfy Hill should have a bone of contention with the NCAA, particularly when ineligibility rests on courses taken in high school prior to their senior year. Maybe the NCAA isn't funded well enough to supply the staff to make these determinations timely, but if that is the case (I don't believe it is), Alabama should be calling them out for this - but it appears only his HS coach is - instead Bama won't return the HS coach's phone calls? ECU can use Hill, it should be a star-making opportunity for Hill since their gap at linebacker is as wide as the Mississippi this season.

For those coaches who make it their life's work for the love of the game and have a conscience regarding their players and recruits, let's pray we don't lose them for tiring of the external politics thanks to the NCAA that hurts their programs and places them at a disadvantage they shouldn't have to endure.

lol you do realise that Auburn has been doing the same thing for years up until this year? If the NCAA starts "looking into this" then they will have to look at everyone in the top 25 because they are all doing it. Now I'm not defending it. There was a really sad story about a kid that enrolled early to LSU, moved into his dorm and everything and then Miles did this to him! There are some kids out there that get shafted big time and it's not right.

Hey were at the half now 28-14 Michigan ahead. Robinson only played the first quarter before being injured. 128 yds rushing one quarter. A freshman came in with an int, counting for one of the Bowling Green scores. Some good news Forcie was brought in for the last series and moved the team very well for the last score before the half. Not as fast as Robinson, but very nice to watch. Doesn't appear to be bad injury to Robinson at this point. 450 yds total yds first half. Someone might want to go get the Defense I think they over slept.
Pdh its OK to brake a TV or two this season, We have plenty of back up in the Dawg House.
Bama does look good this year. But I'm backing Mallet since he's from Michigan's lost QB's, the other is Treat for ASU.

Actually...no. Auburn has not been abusing the medical rule. They have not been ruthless about it.
Aairon Savage was injured for over TWO years and didn't lose his football scholarship. It was never a guarantee that he'd come back healthy, but he did not lose his scholarship even though his absence left a hole in the defense. He's actually a starter this year even though he's working on a graduate degree. Same thing with Shon Coleman who is battling cancer. His football scholarship is still being saved for him so that he can play if his health allows it. Auburn is doing the right thing by keeping their promise to him. If he is never able to play football again, he will still attend Auburn, but they aren't kicking him off the team. It may take him 3 years to ever play a down if he does come back to play, but Auburn is waiting for him. The coaches have been nothing but supportive of these kids.

The Wall Street Journal  is one of the most respected newspapers in the entire world. They don't just throw these kinds of articles out there for fun. There is substance to what they print.

It's not irrational. He's unethical, and that's a subject for examination and discussion because his actions have been brought up in the national media. That's on him and Bama.

We have also talked a fair amount about other coaches such as Pete Carroll, Rich Rod, Mike Leach and Lane Kiffen. No one is singling out Lil' Nicky.

Spooky you can't take this stuff personal.  Everyone picks on the top team.  Mostly it was USC for the last 3 yrs but last year Bama earned the top slot, USC went down and there you go.  And its hardly bashing - frankly the team is fantastic and Saban can obviously coach.  If you stopped by and chatted ball with us on a regular basis I am sure we would have lots of meaningful, complimentary and fun conversations.  Your choice -

Boy did UAB give the Vols a run for their money? The Blazers might have a chance at winning their conf championship if they keep this up.

I'm pretty shocked BC didn't even get on the scoreboard with VTech but once again, one should never underestimate Beamer.

PDH I agree Auburn hasn't been cherry picking by over-signing in recent years and then using medicals as a way to pare back the roster to be compliant.

Cuz, wow - you have gotten the leap out on Bama and if you watched Saban's interview pre-game on ESPN, he even mentioned the importance of managing turnovers. But of course, he ended by slamming Mallet  ::MonkeyMad:: I yelled "grow up" at my TV  ::MonkeyHaHa::

PDH your game is on now and what a thriller.  Fingers crossed.

Cuz keep the head high because you were in it the entire time. 



It was a thriller alright!

I think I need to throw back a few gallons of Jack Black just to counter the adrenalin. I'm on overload!  ::monkeywine2::
And I may need to dye my hair. I feel like I possibly went completely gray before halftime...but I'm scared to look. ::MonkeyEek::

This is not the team for the meek and mild...but it's still GREAT TO BE AN AUBURN TIGER!!!  ::MonkeyDance::


Kiwi...Thanks for the smelling salts..... ::MonkeyLaugh::

Hi Sharon - great to see you here !!!

Don't be ashamed of those Canes, I'll have to send you an email  ::MonkeyKiss::

Yes the look on Saban's face was exactly what I expected, he has zero tolerance for anything less than perfection. I also know what he sounds like in the locker room when he's not happy - it would blister the devil's ears.

I agree, we all need to pray for safe seasons for these players. Those with serious injuries don't have easy paths at all, son talked with Prothro recently about just that issue. God bless the boys who get injured so seriously particularly please.

No doubt about it...Wisconsin is a great team. 


sharon - great to see a 'Canes fan posting! What's new down there? ::HelloKitty::


cuz....I felt that way many times over the last two years. It is so very hard to lose a game like that. Mallett was trying to make something happen, and it just didn't work out the way he thought it would. I really like that kid, and he'll go to next level and do well.



We play Louisiana-Monroe on Saturday. Our kids are a little banged up so I don't expect this one to be as hard hitting as the last 3 games have been.

I am joining in on the prayers for an injury free season. These are kids, after all. Some of them are barely 18.
none - I don't think I ever heard what happened with Prothro. I heard something about an injury, but I never heard any details. What happened to him? If you'd rather not post it here, I understand....

ASU - Wisconsin game besides missing the extra point to tie the game there was the 80 yard or so run to the one yard line as time expired at the half. Two ints in the endzone and one on the 3yd line.
ASU - Oregon more ints endzone while inside the 20yd line. Half of Oregon's points didn't come from the offense. ASU finished with almost 200 more yards total offense than Oregon.
All this is balanced by the Arizona Cardinals winning on a chip shot miss with 4 sec left against Oakland. Cards by one.

We don't play til the next Thursday.  Its the beginning of our Big 12 "Farewell Tour".  No doubt fans of our opponents will be doubly 'kind' and the refs 'as fair as usual'.  ::MonkeyTongue::  Seriously.. it hasn't really sunk in that this is our last game against K State, then TX, etc.  Too bad I have to work.  Would be fun to hit them all for old time's sake.

We did move up to #24 in the coaches poll (#32 in AP). Should be an interesting game!

Side note: an old buddy of mine that I have known since I moved to Dallas has started to come to my "watering hole". He is a HUGE Nebraska  fan (from Aurora, Neb). His wife just recently died of cancer (so sad). There are also 2 other big NU fans there, and the passion you all have is truly fun!! All 3 of them are trying to go to Stillwater for our match-up! Also, I saw on our forum that Nebraska has rented out the highschool stadium in Stillwater on the Friday night before the game for a pep ralley! You guys do travel very well!!

pdh - Prothro's original ankle injury (totally shattered) was excaberbated by an infection he caught while hospitalized which proved to derail his rehab for months. The original injury insured he could never play again as it is - so terribly sad. Son played on his basketball team in intramurals and got to know him fairly well, they are still in touch. Son has always thought Prothro would make a great college coach but even with help for big-time interviews in college programs and NFL, he hasn't landed anything. I don't get it, I really don't. I would think Bama of all programs would give him a shot too. This is a photo from the game against FL at the moment of his injury, it was so apparent how terrible the injury was at the moment of impact even from the stands. http://www.flickr.com/photos/beefcakejcc/49374670/

I see both sides of this, perhaps Gill's trying to 'out' the issues he sees that impact players and focus? I don't think you can legislate what he's trying to legislate, but ultimately somehow some players just don't mature enough to manage their own lives very well.  The frustrations of this for coaches is a real issue, for remember, they are held responsible for the wins or not -

I see both sides of this, perhaps Gill's trying to 'out' the issues he sees that impact players and focus?

I do have sympathy for coaches trying to keep a team focused. However....at some point a young person in college has to learn to sink or swim, and live with the decisions made....even the bad ones. A coach can't micromanage his players.
Forbidding a young man of college age from contact with girls after 10:00 PM is counter-productive IMHO.

Congrats on the win GO!!! Did your Badgers even break a sweat? I think even the janitor put on a Wisconsin uniform and got some playing time!  ::MonkeyHaHa::

No doubt about it...Wisconsin is a great team. 


sharon - great to see a 'Canes fan posting! What's new down there? ::HelloKitty::


cuz....I felt that way many times over the last two years. It is so very hard to lose a game like that. Mallett was trying to make something happen, and it just didn't work out the way he thought it would. I really like that kid, and he'll go to next level and do well.



We play Louisiana-Monroe on Saturday. Our kids are a little banged up so I don't expect this one to be as hard hitting as the last 3 games have been.

I am joining in on the prayers for an injury free season. These are kids, after all. Some of them are barely 18.
none - I don't think I ever heard what happened with Prothro. I heard something about an injury, but I never heard any details. What happened to him? If you'd rather not post it here, I understand....



On to Week 5!
Time flies when you're having a breakdown every Saturday night..::MonkeyLaugh::



pdh - Prothro's original ankle injury (totally shattered) was excaberbated by an infection he caught while hospitalized which proved to derail his rehab for months. The original injury insured he could never play again as it is - so terribly sad. Son played on his basketball team in intramurals and got to know him fairly well, they are still in touch. Son has always thought Prothro would make a great college coach but even with help for big-time interviews in college programs and NFL, he hasn't landed anything. I don't get it, I really don't. I would think Bama of all programs would give him a shot too. This is a photo from the game against FL at the moment of his injury, it was so apparent how terrible the injury was at the moment of impact even from the stands. http://www.flickr.com/photos/beefcakejcc/49374670/






OH MY GOSH! ::MonkeyEek::

That poor kid! That is truly a disturbing photo. God Bless him! I certainly hope Prothro gets a chance to coach. He must miss football terribly. That's really a heartbreaking way to end a football career.

Thanks for telling his story. I'll put him in my prayers. I hope he has regained his health now.

PDH I don't disagree, neither does son. The issue is the expectations of the AD and also boosters and fans. They expect a HC to manage these players and yes, to micromanage 'stars' with issues. I think Gill's remarks are public but that many HC's say similar things in private to some players. If an HC or his staff aren't able to turn around a star, depending upon the attitude of the AD, if they aren't being arrested then the expectation is to 'fix' them to ensure they deliver on the playing field. Son thinks you can tell pretty quickly which players can make the curve in terms of governing their own behavior but he's also quick to tell those who don't seem to have the desire to make the sacrifices, that they won't go far. I know he can and will have critics of his position on this.

I actually think facilities and rankings play a far greater role with recruits then even HC's.

Lots of good games tomorrow.  We are off so I can relax and just sit back and enjoy.  Good luck to all monkeys!  Special mojo powers to Nascar's team.  I am sure he is doing such a great job with his guys. 

Going to watch the little guy (6) play soccer in the a.m.  His sister (8) and little bro (4) are in a regional soccer skills competition out of town.  She took first place here at the 8-10 age group and get this... wee one at the age of 4 took first place in boys under 8!  My bro coaches the HS team and he is one proud papa. 

So who you got tomorrow?

TX vs OK - I gotta go with OK
FL vs Bama - Bama by a mile
Stanford vs OR - I call for an upset - Stanford.

Heh guys - the 4 yr old took first place!   ::MonkeyDance::

Bro said he had more points than even the 10 yr old bracket!  You kick goals from different distances, minimum 15 ft and the goal width is adjusted starting at like 4 feet and goes down to 2 ft.  He hit 2 out of 3 at the narrowest width again.  3 of 3 at the next narrowest.  You should see him.  He won his first trophy AND a soccer ball.  He is floating all day.

Next week the other boy and the sister compete in Lincoln at the punt, pass and kick competition... Sis from AZ will be in town.  Good thing we play on Thursday night huh?

I agree, TN did have it won and Dooley looked so upset in the PC post the game too. Miles, ugh!

Bama wiped the floor with FL (downright demoralizing) but cuz would be happy to know that the analysts on ESPN were touting Arkansas would be the toughest opponent Bama faces this season.

PDH had a big fat win ! Enjoy!

NCSU let VTech sneak up on them and with 3 turnovers, well NCSU gave it away. I do think VTech is going to improve as the season continues, they made some adjustments on their defense and those proved to be good changes.

I can't believe UGA let Colorado win their game, what a bad season for UGA.........I like Richt so much but this is a bit of a disaster season for them.

GO sorry to hear about your coach, I hope he can heal and the team can bounce back.

kiwi - you had a good day, hope you enjoyed it.

The state paper called for Butch Davis' firing on Friday but with another win this weekend, it's doubtful that's going to happen but it probably should.

FL, TN and GA are having some difficulties.... ::MonkeyEek::

Les Miles mismanages the clock AGAIN.... and LSU somehow manages to win another game in the last seconds. They did NOT deserve that win.
I admire Matt Simms, the QB1 for TN. That kid has taken a beating for 5 weeks in a row, and he just keeps on getting up and trying to win. He has a lot of guts. I wanted the win for him, dang it.
I think this loss broke CDD's heart.

We won in a big way...just what we needed. WDE!  ::MonkeyCheer4::


klaas! Congrats on the win! I got a kick out of some of the Game Day signs. ::MonkeyHaHa::


Bama is just rolling over everybody at the moment. I do think So. Carolina could be a threat to them, and you never know what Lady Luck will bring LSU.

And then there's Auburn...... ::MonkeyDance::

GO...sorry for the loss. Michigan State had extra incentive due to their Coach Dantonio being hospitalized. He was texting and calling during the game..... ::MonkeyHaHa::

None.. we forgive you... and knew what you meant...

Spartys were playing for their coach and it showed.  Sad thing is he was readmitted to the hospital due to a blood clot in his leg.  Guess it is common after heart procedures... but the team sure fought hard... I wouldn't have thought they'd beat WI.  Good win for them, hard loss for WI. 

How about the end of that LSU/TN game?  I'm with PDH... TN won that game.  It reminded me of when they put 1 second back on the clock in our TX game last year.  Heartbreaking when you think you win a good one and it gets reversed.  But thats sports.

None, how did son's team do this week?

TN did win that game and I expect young Dooley will figure out how to move on from it.

I knew you weren't calling me out PDH, I was calling myself out !

I figure for son to do what he's doing, it has to be a passion that drives you to coach, he's so far away from home and not complained one ounce. But if you love what you do, it compensates for many things. He seems able to turn it off though but he's not a HC.  I think when you're the HC and so much rises and falls on each game - it has to be all-consuming.

I don't have photos of everything yet but yes, I think these turned out well  ::MonkeyWink::

For the most part everyone did very well over the weekend! I noticed Wreck's OSU is in the top 25 this week and its well deserved. ::CowboySmiley::
Michigan plays Michigan State in Ann Arbor next weekend. So one of them well drop off the unbeaten list. Defensively, Michigan rushes 3, 80% of the time. Stats place them near the bottom of the 125 team list on defense. They gave up almost 500yds passing last game and 35 points. Which also points to the fact that 15-20 seconds for a QB to throw the ball, is enough time to complete 500yds passing. Just a little pressure on the opposing QB might reduce the need to have a shoot out. Just saying this encase RR reads here before the next game.
Who does AU, Neb, OSU, Arkansas, Alabama, Tenn, Texas, Washington, Oregon, Miami, ND, play next?

Yep.

Always wondered what he does before the games to get them so amped.  I heard he does incredible things.  Well evidently one night this week he showed them a film of a tiger hunting some other animal.  Very vivid and it ends right before the tiger destroys/eats the animal.  The message:  be the hunter and not the hunted.

He likes them to have a chip on their shoulder.  Guess when Bo went onto the field the KSU fans boo-ed him.  Reporter said he swore Bo had to fight the smile from showing.  Best part is all parts of the game were improved... cept for kick off returns. ha.  Now I can relax for the weekend.

48-13 and it wasn't that close.  Our QB averaged like 40 yds per carry.  He broke the record for most QB rushing yards in a game at NU and some others.. He's special.  Can't wait til he and your QB meet next year... that will be an interesting game!  Enjoy your trip.

We out-scored them 37-7 in 2nd half. Much better! That is the difference between big schools and smaller schools -- depth. A few years ago, we would lead Texas by 3-4 touchdowns in the first half and lose the game by 17. It boils down to depth.  ::CowboySmiley::

I think right after their BYU game, he posted a few times and that was it.
Nothing on the Natalee thread either -- so I don't think it was anything we did here.

I hope he's ok!  Cheering you on wherever you are KTF.

Wreck did you see TxTech's 'onside kick' attempt?  Stupid play of the year.  Gotta be on the highlight reels tonight. ha. 

Penn State getting beat by Illinois?  Whew.  Glad they are the appointed new rival we were given in the Big 10.  ::MonkeyDevil::  Keep that QB as the starter next year.

Miami plays Florida State Saturday night.

Miami is on their way once again, the game against FSU should be one to watch. I need to email you, son speaks with a coach at UM often.

Please do :-)  Address still the same.

pdh3 I agree about coach and cleanup -- that's the only reason I can root for them, finally :-) Shalala has been instrumental in the cleanup and image change for the entire university.

Good luck this weekend, everyone !

I'll email soon I promise, I have my mother here this week but hopefully I can break away long enough for a few emails. The minute I step over to my laptop she calls my name to come hither ..........

actually I'm not surprised to see Hall in this mess but I am surprised to see Darwin in it. Hall's mother was always one of the most vocal ones about how her baby was going to the big ride........




He's goin' to the big ride all right...to jail in the back of a police car.

well said PDH. If you notice via google, Darwin now has his own website? These are the kinds of things that happen when you build your life around the hope for the big ride.........so sad.

They did an onside kick and the ball went 10 yds and landed on the ground.  It is laying there and there are 2 TT guys and a Baylor kid.  Seemed like forever they all just looked at the ball.  LOL.  Finally the Baylor guy picks it up and runs the length of the field to score.  Just read on our boards that they did the same thing last week?  Oh my.  LOL

Auburn played another heart-attack inducing game, and won with no time left on the clock by kicking a field goal. The game was tied until that point. Kentucky has a very talented offense, and they played their hearts out tonite.

Cuz and PDH you both had close games yesterday - congrats on the win. 

Kiwi - at the beginning of the season if anyone had said you would win the first 4 or 5 games people would have said no way.  So no shame for your team.  We knew the D needed work, still does.  YOu might need to bring in a new coach.  Who is the DC anyway?  But your team has done a great job of winning when no one thought they had a chance.  Those kids should be proud of that.

Wow - so McElroy just had his first loss since junior high school.  Wonder how he's taking it?  Thats kind of strange.  I'm happy for the ole Ball Coach.  Got himself a big win.  Good for him.

Les Miles is one crazy dude.  All I got on him.   ::MonkeyHaHa::

I am headed to the state punt, pass, and kick competition in Lincoln today.... Got a 6 yr old and an 8 yr old competing.  Should be fun.  Gorgeous weather.  Have a great day all.

beans is right Sharon.....no shame in the Dawg House! We just try to comfort ourselves and lick our wounds and move on to the next game.
Losing is no fun, but all of us have seen our teams fall, and there's lots of time left in the season.......

GO and his Badgers have a huge game this week! I can't wait to see how Pryor responds to Wisconsin's meat and potatos style of defense. That will be a great game!

We played Minnesota and have kept the Paul Bunyan Axe now for seven straight years. 

I think I read that it would be possible to end the season with a maximum of seven teams being undefeated.  I know there are all the formulas with the rankings, but I can see this being a real PR nightmare.  It is never a guarantee, but we seem to have some great games with Ohio State.  Our problem is that we are losing players on defense.  We just lost our best linebacker for the season.

Cuz, I hope the best team wins and sending strong mojo for your team too!

kiwi - I know I still owe you an email and I do sharon as well.

Sharon, I think UM is on their way up again despite that loss and I'm happy to see that trend back up again. Keep the faith....

Son's team had another win so now if they can continue their trend,  honestly he never brags about his players' performances but for a team that heretofore was known as a running back program it's his wr's that are making this season's top offensive performances. So I'm pretty proud of him, he said he plowed into a dip in the practice field last week and slid 30 feet just trying to demonstrate a technique so his leg is now oozing. I told him the high side is that his players can't say he's not suffering right along with them  ::MonkeyWink::

Best to all the monkey teams and shy-monkey, good to have you back !! Boise representing!!

What a difference a year or two makes huh?  Thought of that when reading an article about this year's hot QBs:  Cameron from Auburn, Denard from Michigan and Taylor from Nebraska... Last year each of these teams really struggled on offense.  And all teams have new coaches.  Cuz's team Arkansas has really turned around also under new leadership... Lots of changes over the last 4 yrs and nice to see us all winning.  Wreck's team undefeated and an offensive nightmare.  (in a good way)  GO team only has one loss and could take out Ohio State this week.  We are on a roll!

PDH and Cuz... good luck this weekend... should be a great game.

None - thank you... we really need some positive mojo.  If you go back and look at the last 3 or 4 games we had against TX we gave the game away each time.  Heartbreakers all of them.  Time to change all that.  I will be sure to have some  ::monkeywine2:: libations on hand for sure.

So Julio Jones played with a broken hand and had surgery and they put screws in him today.  Ouch.  And that kid from VA Tech(might not have it right) that lost his finger tip and played thru the pain and had it sewn on in the 4th quarter.  UNREAL PAIN.  OMG.

None - great news re son.  Tell him to keep up the great work.  He is making a difference in young men's lives.  How fantastic is that?

I don't know what's wrong with these kids. I'm sure a lot of it starts in their homes when they are very young. Poverty and broken homes, lack of discipline from parents, parents setting bad examples.. Then as they get older and display athletic talent, people let them get away with things. Coaches focus on building playing skills instead of building a child's character right along with his playing ability. Parents are sometimes worse than some of the coaches when it comes to pushing their kids' physical abilities over worrying about how they develop in their souls. When my son played in Pop Warner, there were actually parent coaches from other teams spying on our practices and filming our games. There were coaches who lied and allowed older kids to play even though it was against the rules. These children were 10 years old, and they saw all that. Terrible role models.
There's also a trend to recruit on sheer athletic ability without considering the character of the kids. That's due to the pressure put on coaches to win at all costs. The media and the fans share some of the that guilt. Coaches like Pete Carroll, and players like Reggie Bush cheat for years, and there are absolutely no consequences for that behavior. They both made millions by not following the rules, and don't think kids aren't watching. The same goes for Michael Vick. He should never have been allowed back in the NFL. MV is a perfect example of what's wrong with sports. He got away with a lot in college because he was so talented. But he has no character.

Bean we have all agreed the defense being ranked near the bottom of the 120 teams will ultimately fail. The defensive coach's last name is Robinson, he was the       head coach for Syracuse. Still the kids are playing hard.
New monkeys Kiwi's Dawg House is always open for your games. Everyone has their own big screen TV with your game of course playing, plus a couch with your team colors. Its already there now. Win or lose were here and root for everyones teams.
Just a side I'm watching the start of the miners rescue. World wide prayers happening now.

Agreed regarding the miners, God bless each of them and their families and loved ones. I found it remarkable to hear there was no jostling for position as to who would come up first, but disagreement regarding who would go last. Their leader had done an outstanding job and he's insisting on coming up last. Just brings tears to my eyes.........such character.

Bean, I had a long talk with son today which is rare for he is so busy. He said Bo's exciting to watch and how much respect he has for what he's accomplished. He also talked a good bit about Bama's loss and PDH take note - he's betting on the War Eagles to go all the way. He also talked about the lack of defense on certain teams and specifically mentioned the strategy to focus everything on offense and scoring - to the degree that certain HC's don't care if they have no defense with the exception of skill in interceptions, and just want the other team to score quickly so that they can put up another TD on the board themselves? I don't understand it, defense wins championships...........it's also a certainty that those teams will not be able to recruit strong defensive players. He also talked about their last game, both of their QB's were injured and unable to play. I can't imagine what it feels like to arrive at a game knowing you are missing your offensive leader?? Son actually called me just as they were walking into the stadium but it was a butt ring, he wasn't there when I answered. We both laughed and he said he guesses it was fear factor calling his momma subliminally?  ::MonkeyHaHa:: Anyway, there is a good story here for one of his wr's is smaller than the average but very talented. He had played QB in high school but was recruited as a wr for college and he's done very well, he's fast as lightning and shifty. Well he was the QB and not only did they win, they won by 52 and the other team never scored. Even more meaningful is that this kid grew up in a home without even running water, he's quiet and respectful and I think pure joy for my son. I told son he's lucky to have him and to be part of his life and to do right by this boy always.

PDH I agree with much of what you posted about players, son says simply that they either want success or they do not, and that it's nearly impossible to change a bad attitude. Some of these players also attend high schools (yes public 5A ones) that don't even require they attend classes all week - it just blows my mind.

PDH - black Santa won't need to worry about coaching anymore after that article by Lutz in SI, he can call it a day for sure. IF he does coach again, then we'll know what the true state of college football is. I don't care if he's a Svengali at recruiting, now we know why and he's teaching his recruits all the wrong things.

Kiwi - thank you again for our dawg house and for all the fine hospitality !!

Klaas - I love the emoticons, I want that foam finger, can we load it here?  ::MonkeyHaHa::

I don't even know that kid that Nascar is coaching....and I'm proud of him. I'm glad he had a big day as the QB! Knowing Nascar has been a blessing I'm sure.



The miner rescue is such a hope-filled story. I'm praying that all of them get out alive and well, and also the brave men who went down to help with the rescue out of the mine.


I guess Nascar will have to spread his good mojo around this week. ::MonkeyHaHa::

Thought ya'll would love listening to U$C whine about the N/S split in the Pac12. ::MonkeyDance::


USC wants Cal, Stanford on schedule

http://sports.espn.go.com/los-angeles/ncf/news/story?id=5686274

The new divisions for the Pac-10 are not set, but USC athletic director Pat Haden gave a hint as to what they will be at a booster club meeting in San Gabriel, Calif., on Wednesday night.

And, he is not overjoyed with the split.


Pac-10 blog
 ESPN.com's Ted Miller writes about all things Pac-10 in his conference blog.

• Blog network:
College Football Nation


"We're going for the money, sadly; that's what it is," Haden said. "We need a conference title game."

Athletic directors voted 7-5 on the alignment -- Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, UCLA, USC and Utah in one division and Cal, Oregon, Oregon State, Stanford, Washington and Washington State -- in the other, Haden said. The presidents of the schools will vote on it later this month.

"I told [the rest of the athletic directors] my alumni will kill me if we don’t play the Northern California schools," Haden said.

"I proposed a 5-2-2 model that has us playing the five schools [in our division] every year and then have the Northern California schools as part of our regular two and then rotate the other two. We need to play Stanford and Cal."

That team quit and quit early.  I have no inside info but I would bet big money that there is a lot of division on that team.  TGs style is a 180 from Mangino.  You don't change the culture over night.  Some aren't buying in and they aren't even trying.  THat was just sad.  I can't buy the line that he's an awful coach because he was a major coaching contributor for NU during the national champ years.  You don't get stupid over night.  Something is rotten in Denmark I would guess.  I am not looking forward to their trip to NU.

I like Turner Gill, and I can't say that he's a bad coach. I wondered about some of the rules he established, and I suspect that's part of the issue right now. But he has proven that he can succeed because of what he accomplished at Buffalo.
Apparently the adjustment is not going well. It's obvious he's not getting his team to gel. Maybe after a few recruiting classes he will have a much better team. I hope he's successful. He wasn't a good fit for Auburn, but he should be able to do very well at Kansas if they give him enough time. He's a good man, and he's good for college football.

Poor guy. He must be wishing he was still in Buffalo.


Good luck to all this weekend!

GO...watching your game now and cheering you on.  All I can say is WOW.

Auburn being undefeated after 7 games is indeed an accomplishment in the SEC. We face LSU next, and they are also undefeated. Every year they seem to beat us on some crazy play that goes their way.

PDH you guys will be tested for sure playing LSU and the game I can't wait for is Bama.  Whoa that one will be more emotional than NU/TX.  Specially since you are ahead of them in the polls.  We are all well aware of Les Miles - often referred to as Les-ticles or Lucky Les - and his bizarre antics.  He is one character for sure.  I love his interviews. NOT.   ::MonkeyDevil::

GO you are humble.  Great things out of the land of cheese this year.  Huge win.  You will get that bowl game and more if you keep it up.

KIWI ... I'm buying the first round in the dog house this week.  You guys planning on getting a new DC?  Is that the problem?

NONE... big shout out to son on the win.  WTG.  Keeps us proud.

CUZ... I'll buy a round for you too!  Is Mallet hurt bad?  I just read he didn't play the whole game.

MN fired their coach today.  Not surprised.  I swear his downfall was when he hired our former DC under Callahan.  You saw our defense.  It sucked big time.  I can't believe any school any where any division would ever hire him.  He was truly that bad.  We really wanted to play against him in the Big 10 next year though dang it.  LOL

Special prayers going out to the Rutgers player who was hurt and is paralyzed.  It is just a game and these are young men.  Lest we forget.... Schiano was so emotional.  Felt bad for all of them.

Bean I do not believe there is any change in the DC planned. However, unless RR wants to leave 100th defense should just about do it.
KTF great win in D2overtime. Thankfully OrSt going for two helped.

Wreck... pretty slow start but keep checking it out... hopefully they'll come out of their depression and get this thread going. ha.  They also do a weekly movie poster.  Take the original and photoshop it for the game.  Some real good ones.  No thread yet for that yet.  Like I said... we are pretty upset still.  Hope the team is better at shaking it off then we are.   ::monkeywine2::

This is pretty cool.  Rutgers set up a get well email system for Eric who is paralyzed from Saturday's game.  No one else can read what is written, its just an automated system for getting some positive words out to a young kid who could probably use them.

Yes our game is huge and as good as we have always been against Ohio State, whether we win or lose, we never seem to play all that well against Iowa. 

I was mistaken about our bowl bid.  It seems I am already getting e-mails from the alumni association stating we are already bowl eligible and they are putting names on a travel waiting list no matter where it is.  As a fan group we "travel" very well and that makes us attractive to those wishing to fill a stadium.

So Wreck... some folks are predicting you guys are gonna beat us.  Hope they are wrong.  I don't know about your team but ours is kind of hard to predict.  We've played fantastic except for two games and both of those were frightening.  First one was SDSU and I have to believe we did zero prep and totally took it for granted which is sooooo stupid.  The TX game I think we were too psyched up for it.  We played stiff and made mistakes early on - gave them the ball inside the 20 for an easy score on OUR first drive... duh.  The players just continued to make errors... almost as bad as last years 8 fumble Iowa State game.... there has to be something mental going on....

So after all that.... I don't know what to expect - that team or the one that played vs Washington and K State.  I will share that for some reason Pelini's teams all have played better on the ROAD.  Weird as well.

Did a bit of studying and in addition to having a fantastic offense your defense is like #20.  Should be a good game.  Hope the good guys win.   ::MonkeyWink:: ::MonkeyDevil::

I could see the game going several ways -- but I think you are going to have to get off to a big start to beat us. Should you fall too far behind early, I think your offense would have a hard time catching up. Well see!!

pdh3, I didn't realize that about Auburn.  I just knew that Alabama hasn't had a week off, but several of the teams they've played have had the prior week off before facing Bama.  My husband told me that Alabama's schedule is so unfair that the SEC changed the rules so that it wouldn't happen to any team NEXT season.  I root for Auburn when they don't play Alabama, so good luck!!  I also think the new chant they have at Auburn is so cute: War CAM Eagle!

Post by: pdh3 on October 23, 2010, 03:41:46 AM
I don't know about rule changes....but the AD at each school is the one who sets the schedule. In your case that would be Mal Moore. Bama fans should blame him, not the SEC. Schedules are set several years ahead of time, so sometimes it just doesn't work out.

Good luck to you tomorrow!

I'm pulling for Iowa State! When Gene Chizik left to come to Auburn, Paul Rhodes left Auburn to take over the HC job at ISU!  He's continuing the job of making something happen up there. It's not an easy thing to do, but there seems to be a glimmer of hope. At least ISU is being competitive.

Hope the rest of you are having great luck today...
You did me proud.  I had to choose an upset game for a contest at work between NU/OKST, OK/MO and IA/MN and I picked MN to win.  Have a shot at a really neat prize... Thanks GO!  LOL

Congrats Frijole!! Props to your "running" QB -- he can pass too! Our defense is just horrible!!!  ::CowboySmiley::
Ah Wreck.... fwiw you guys broke a 14 game streak we had where we didn't allow more than 21 points!  Yes our little stud can pass... our problem last week was the damn receivers.  And truly I think we watched him grow up today.  Thank God.  Our D was not nearly as good as they normally are so that is HUGE kudos to your offense.  I am confident you guys will beat the crap out of TX and I am counting on that.  I will live vicariously through that.  You guys have a great future - no one expected squat this year.  And I don't think you should fall in the polls.  Husker fans were raving about the way they were treated pre game by Okie St fans.

I'm going to clarify that rule doa, and get back to you.
Auburn has 11 games before they get a break, but we do have a bye the week before the Iron Bowl. However....Auburn has just about always taken a break that week before they play Bama. It's nothing new.

Here's the rule from a sports forum...


Yes, the Alabama program made a push for it....I believe the rule is 'No more than 3 bye weeks against one team'....For example, take Auburn's schedule next year....no more than 3 teams can have a bye week against Auburn in 1 season.

It's an SEC rule. And yes...schedules are set years in advance. It was not anything to do with Saban personally when teams set their schdules 5 years ago. I like Bama, but I do not like Saban because of stuff like that. Bye weeks are nothing new. When Saban was at LSU....there were bye weeks. It just happened to fall that several schools had bye weeks before they played Bama one year, and he pitched a fit. Bama fans don't like any criticism of Saban,and I'm sure I'll get roasted for speaking my mind, but he is sort of a whiner about stuff. He should've been upset with Mal Moore, the Bama AD who scheduled Bama's games.


Hey cuz....Thanks for the kind words. I know what you mean about the officials. We've gotten burned by bad calls in every single game. The SEC officials need to be retrained. I did see a couple of missed calls in the OK-Mizzou game too, so it's not just the SEC who makes mistakes. They just make too many of them. But we seem to be snake-bit by officials in our league, especially in the past 2 years. Not sure why.....but Arkansas and Auburn have been hurt the worst, and it seems to be continuing this season. My personal opinion is that we don't make officials accountable to anyone but the SEC office. The coaches really don't have much of a voice. If they complain, they get fined like Urban Meyer did. All they can do is send in tapes and hope that action is taken. ::MonkeyNoNo::

I hope Mallett heals quickly. He's such talented kid. He'll make a perfect NFL QB1. He's got the kind of skills that they look for in the pros.

Thanks for that information, pdh3.  I knew Auburn was resting before they played Alabama, but I didn't think anything negative about that (it's that all those other teams have been doing it...); anyway, for the most part, Bama seems to be coping well with it.  I don't follow sports much, but I've always been a Bama fan.  I don't mind criticism of Coach Saban, though.  I criticized him myself at the end of the season before last when I felt that he threw that last game of the season; it was like he didn't want to win, so that he could tell his new recruits that, sure the graduating players were good, but they could be even better.  I remember kind of hoping they'd fire him for that.  I guess there's not much chance of that any time soon, and obviously not necessary.

I'm not going to be a sore loser if Auburn wins the Iron Bowl, though.  I mean, what a coup to win a national championship after so very many years.  And have you noticed that the cheerleader picture on this site is rooting for Auburn??  ::MonkeyCheer4::

I really wish I had seen your games because I keep reading about Cam.  He sounds like not only a great athlete but person as well.  I'm sure one of these weeks our games won't be at the same time.

It makes it hard to like Bama and dislike the coach, but I do like the kids who actually play the game....but there you go. Bama has a bye before the Iron Bowl also. Saban moved his Bama game with that beat down powerhouse Georgia State..... ::MonkeyHaHa:: so he now has no excuse. He should've kept quiet and just played his 4th string. GA State is in it's inaugural year for football. It's not like they can do much to a powerhouse like Bama.
It was good to see McElroy play Sat. There were rumors that he wasn't going to play because he hurt his hand. I was worried for him. He's a good kid.



I was just hoping to avoid the whole #1 issue. I am superstitious, and the #1 teams are falling like flies under a swatter. I was actually hoping to ride #2 until Dec. ::MonkeyEek::

nonesy....please have Nascar do an emergency mojo ceremony to ward off the #1 curse. It's very bad football juju to be #1 too early! OH MY!!! GET MY XANAX!!!! ::HelloKitty::

Post by: nonesuche on October 24, 2010, 11:33:32 PM
PDH, I spoke with NASCAR tonight in between struggling with a chocolate macaroon recipe and he was not a happy camper. I'll ask for the mojo but he's frankly consumed with teaching his players a lesson. They won their game and yes, it was horribly cold and snowy, but they would not block for him. He and the HC are worried it was just laziness so tomorrow no one will get individual passes at practice - he said no one will this week until they learn to block consistently.

Sigh.........I'm not much help either. He has a talented bunch but some real tudes to contend with too. I feel for him, there isn't a quick remedy to a recurring problem with tudes.

Haven't both AU and Bama always had a bye week prior to the Iron Bowl?

Saban produced the NC that the super boosters wanted. Unless he runs afoul of some big NCAA violations, I don't think there will be pressure to change him in any way. So long as he wins and wants the job at Bama, it's his. I've posted how crazy I am about McElroy but I was disappointed to hear his remark about having never lost a game since junior high. It wasn't as mature a remark as I would have hoped he would have made. Oh well.

Bean, Cam has some history, if you google why he left FL a good bit will pop up about a laptop and a window. Lately with the success AU has had, I see some of the competition fan boards and social networking sites ablaze with trying to resurrect all of that again. That said, I like to think that hard lesson made him a better player and man, and to listen to his HC speak about him he seems to think quite highly of Cam. He is an incredible player and to think he wasn't on AU's radar until they happened to go over to his junior college to look at someone else and happened to see Cam also?

Klaas and PDH - we're pulling for your teams to stay on top - now what if they end up in the NC or GO's team does, or Bean's does ????????

Going to be an interesting ending to the SM season, what a nice problem to have  ::MonkeyCheer4::

My goodness poor Nascar!  Those kids don't realize it yet, but they won't go far in life with those attitudes. Hopefully they will learn from Nascar and the coach. Maturity is always an issue with a team.

Here's the story on Cam Newton.
Cam is a good kid who did something stupid, and he admits it....speaking of maturity.Cam's dorm room fire sprinkler came on accidentally and ruined all of his stuff. He had to replace everything he had including his laptop, but he didn't have much money, so he was looking for a deal. He ended up buying a stolen laptop.When it came to light that the laptop was stolen, he panicked because of all he had to lose and threw it out a window. It was never his intention to break the law, and he wasn't the one who stole it. He knows he should've turned it down because it was of questionable origin. The price was too good to be true....but he was a young kid with no money and an immediate need for a computer, so he fell for the temptation. However, that's not why he left Florida. Cam wanted to play, and develop his QB skills, but Tebow came back for his senior season, so that left Cam riding the pine. He went to Blinn so he could play, and the rest is history. Auburn was originally his first choice over Florida, but Tubbs signed Kodi Burns as the future QB, so Cam went to Florida instead. I'm just glad he finally came to Auburn as a mature, polished leader. He is one amazing kid.

Post by: pdh3 on October 25, 2010, 11:40:54 AM
nonesy....As far as I an remember, Bama and AU have had an open date the weekend before the Iron Bowl. But Mal Moore scheduled Bama to play Georgia State in that school's first year with a football team the week before the IB in that open date. Saban was upset about it even though Ga State is not much of an opponent. He seriously could play the 4th string and win. But he got GA State to agree to move the game to the preceding Thurs. night, and the SEC approved it. That was the big stink created there about the bye week before the Auburn - Alabama game. So now Bama has a game on a Thurs. night, they get the weekend off, and Saban got his way even though Bama created their own problem to begin with by scheduling a game. Crazy! ::MonkeyHaHa::

Bean count me in as rooting for the Big Red !!!  ::dogwag::

PDH don't you think Mal Moore scheduled the game with GSU because Bill Curry's now the HC? I thought it was a bye week prior to the Iron Bowl when son was there, I just didn't know if that was historically an absolute. You should have a fairly easy win against Ole Miss and I have to tell you that my nephew was at the game last weekend -  as for son, I keep telling him that he needs to find a way to reach some of these kids, but then his HC is a believer that they either have that innate sense of wanting to learn and succeed or they don't.

We had a true thunderstorm here tonight, this is the wackiest weather ever ! Son had snow last weekend and it's in the 70's there today. I hope the weather settles down by the time for the games this weekend.

Post by: pdh3 on October 26, 2010, 01:34:30 AM
nonesy I think Bill Curry, who is such a great guy btw, called everybody he knew to schedule a game. GSU football is in it's infancy, and they need cash. That's why they had no problem moving the game to Thurs. night instead of Sat. GSU will get a nice payout for a game with Bama no matter what day they play. But for Saban to complain about it was kinda silly since Bama scheduled it themselves in the first place. It was never a surprise that it was the Sat. before the Iron Bowl, so I didn't understand all the drama.


Speaking of drama...does anyone think Lane Kiffen can mastermind a game plan good enough  to beat Oregon? ::MonkeyNoNo::



I have faith that if anyone could reach those kids it will be Nascar. He may not reach every single one of them, but I'm sure he can help at least a few.

We had very violent thunderstorms here also, and I got little sleep. My sweet golden retriever is terrified of those kinds of storms, and between his distress and all the booming and flashes of lightening there was just too much activity to sleep. Now I'm so wound up from pushing to stay awake all day that I CAN'T sleep. UGHHH!! My dog is having no problem sleeping though, that little stinker. ::MonkeyHaHa::

PDH - good articles.  I couldn't sleep last night either.  No storms though. ha.....  You are right - we will have our hands full this Saturday.

None - still proud of Nascar.  He sounds like he is doing a tremendous job, regardless of having to deal with some slackers or head cases.... all part of the job and it is great experience for our favorite young coach.  Whos up next?

Kiwi, who you play next?  Wreck? GO? Cuz? Sharon?  Obviously I am behind this week.

 ::MonkeyMad:: I have now!! For those of you that have not heard, our Heisman Trophy candidate (Justin Blackmon and a real good kid) went with a couple of teammates to the Cowboys-Giants game last night. He was pulled over going home in Carrollton, TX (literally a mile from where I work and about 5 miles from my house) for speeding. He was NOT drunk but DID have trace alcohol readings from the breathalyzer. Since he is a underage - he went to jail. Punishment is up to a $500. fine (a Class C misdemeanor).
Why US Lord???????????

Driving 92 in a 60mph zone at 3:45am is just stupid. Like I said, this a great kid -- if you have ever seen him interviewed, you can tell. He's not a thug -- they were going to see their friend Dez Bryant play. It is unfortunate that stupid youthful indescretions will follow you your whole life. He will learn from this and life goes on.

Thanks PDH and Bean, the kind words for son are always appreciated.

wreck, welcome to the party. What are no-brainers for most of us, unfortunately just do not seem to digest with some of these players. Ultimately walking the wild side with their friends can outweigh the 'smart' thing to do.

PDH this article is a great one on Newton, didn't know if you had seen it yet, it's apparently slated for next week's edition.

sharon - do you still have my email addy? I've been searching for yours but my email has crashed several times and when I try searching it, often I get no results. So if you have mine then shoot me one and I'll respond back.

we have tornado warnings tonight and knowing they savaged parts of the midwest last night, just praying we escape this wacky and dangerous weather soon......

LOL Thats Ok ... We came out on fire in all phases.  24-0 in first quarter and almost 300 yds of offense in first quarter.  Then MO made some adjustments.  I was really worried because we lost our prize CB in the first quarter and Martinez at half.  I cringed when last years QB came out but he did enough to keep us in the game and kill the clock so that was good. 

Did you see our goal line stance?  WOOOOOHHH.  Way inside the one with 4 shots at it.  They left with 3.  That was beautiful. 

Gonna watch some Auburn now.  Looks like they are in the lead big time already.  Can Baylor beat TX and make my day? 

How about ND losing to Tulsa because their coached messed up... rough week for ND football.

Congrats to Nebraska and Auburn, great games played with confidence. PDH the article you posted earlier this week was so heartwarming, I doubt many players could have sensed their way through that situation with such insight. Downright amazing......

sharon, I'll check my email but I have felt sure that UVA's new coach would begin to turn their program around eventually. I feel sure that wasn't a loss UM was anticipating.......sigh.

Kiwi, it's at the half so maybe your team can make the half-time adjustments........pulling for you.

I fear the loss to Florida may now seal Richt's fate - I wish if they fire anyone that it's Bobo and not Richt !!

As for ND, I cannot get past what happened with the student film guy this week - unbelievable he was ever asked to place himself in such jeopardy for what, practice film ???? He even posted on FB before he ever went up in that rig that he feared for his life !! Students don't say no to HC's...........I am just so angry about such a senseless loss of life.

OMG we had the strangest thing happen at our game.  We WON the coin toss and instead of saying "we chose to defer" our team captain (we alternate weekly) said "we chose to kick" and so at the beginning of the 2nd half we had to KICK OFF again!  Everyone was like WTH?  Bo said he went crazy over it and aged 10 years. ha.  I just assumed if you kicked off the first half you received the second... but I guess not.

None, I too am haunted by that poor kids' tweets while up in that machinery.  Frightening. 

PDH - great win.  None - tell son congrats!  They seem to be doing great.

I need to go check the scoreboards to see how everyone else did.  Oh, Wreck.. I did see you came out stronger in the 2nd half and kicked some purple butt.  WTG.

Naw KTF... inconsistent is a better word.  And None is right - changes like this take years to be effective... From what I read Locker can really run the ball and we scratched our head as to why you didn't play more to his strengths vs trying to make him strictly a pocket passer.  My point is your coach won't have 'his players' in the system for several years.  Hang in there and KEEP THE FAITH!!!

None- thanks for watching the Michigan game. Rather disturbing on defense. Just proves that when you rush 3, 90% of the time, even a first time QB walk on, is going to have an AU day. The only thing missing was not rushing any one. Prior to the game Michigan's Defense was ranked 117th in passing. 120th is possible. Just my observation but if they rushed say 4 and sometimes blitzed on third downs over 10 yards, they might run into the running back or even the QB by accident. I believe Robinson made it to 200 yards rushing. The offense actually is fun to watch, maybe they can play both ways! Its a good thing I put a fence in front of my TV since I've used up my quota for the season. Still it was nice to be on the winning side with most of our SM crew. 12 hours of college football has made me a little crazed  ::monkeywine2::Hmm I feel better now.

I know!  He had headaches in Sept, surgery the first of October and was doing well then bam.  Way sad.  So hard to believe.  Read the team found an old bus they could drive to the hospital to see him (out of town) and 50-60 players went.  That had to have meant a great deal to his family.  They play BAMA next and thank god are off this week.  Has to be very hard on them all.  Puts alot of things in perspective.

Nick was in the UAB Hospital in Birmingham. His Mom works at UAB, btw. It's maybe about 2 hours east, from Starkville,MS.

Well beans....I am actually gonna go against the grain and cheer for LSU. I'd usually be for Bama, but I think it's better for Auburn if LSU wins.  That takes Bama out of the BCS conversation altogether.  And I'd like to have the SEC West all sewed up.

Yep.... I think its better for anyone in the hunt if Bama is out - even Oregon because they have the D to play against them.  Not sure about some of the other top teams.  Wonder what tricks Les has up his sleeves this week?  lololol

Actually...Bama's D is not that great. They don't have the same D they had last year,and they are just now getting to the tough SEC teams. And Bama's offense is a little creaky too. The loss to So. Carolina was no freak occurance.

Oregon would probably win that matchup. They would just outscore Bama.

OK.. then who (in the top) does have the D to beat that fast spread? Gonna be hard to stop them.

Post by: pdh3 on November 05, 2010, 12:06:19 PM
You can't stop everything...hence the success of the spread and why it's so popular. Teams with a great spread offense win by wearing down the defense of the opposing team anyway because of the frenetic pace. Oregon has a mediocre defense too, but like Auburn they run everybody down in the 4th quarter and put the game away for the most part.
You don't stop a really great spread. You try to slow it down. You have to outscore. I actually think Bama is too slow offensively to keep up, more than the defense being an issue.
You may think I'm prejudiced, but right now Auburn matches up better with Oregon. Our O-Line and D-Line are better, and bigger too. We have faced tougher opponents. And nobody can stop our offense. LSU had one of the top defenses in the country, and we handled them very well. I think we could let Nick Fairley loose and he'd go calling on their QB1.

Oregon would make Boise State beg for mercy. Boise has never faced a tough team like that.

I think Wisconsin could hold up for a while because their defense is pretty stout, but like Bama they wouldn't be able to outscore them.


I haven't seen Arizona play, so I don't know how good they are. I guess we'll see pretty soon how well they do.

Well I dunno but the folks that started this story better be prepared to deliver on something or the kid has a libel case.  This could certainly end his Heisman hopes.  All I know is what I read online and of course there are two camps.  I feel sorry for the kid.

You ready for tomorrow Wreck?  I think our QB (sprained ankle) will sit out unless needed which is too bad because he is so much more fun to watch.  Rumor is our backup reinjured his shoulder/arm this week and might be out rest of season.  Hope the O line blocks like they did last week.  Heck I could run thru those holes. 

Haven't heard from everyone re who they are playing.... Cuz, GO, Kiwi, Sharon???  Whose up?

I don't think you really want me to unload on a public board what I think about Urban Meyer, ESPN, Fox Sports, the Bama connection to The New York Times, or about how ugly things can get. What they have done to Cam and to Auburn is disgusting.

Cecil Newton has now hired an attorney to protect his son.There's a reason he didn't want Cam at MSU. He didn't like the atmosphere. I can see why.

 Kenny Rogers has denied all allegations, and John Bond has changed his story today. They are both liars.



beans - Kenny Rogers son signed with Nebraska.... ::MonkeyEek::



This was investigated a long time ago. Auburn cleared Cam of any wrong doing before they ever let him play a single down. It's old news that Meyer and ESPN have re-manufactured. ESPN because they want to control the BCS and the Heisman, and Meyer because he's pissed that Cam is doing well elsewhere. The Bama connection is self-explanatory.


ESPN and agents and big money have ruined college football. I've been saying this for years, but this is even more evil than I realized. The timing was no accident. They are trying to keep the Heisman and BCS away from Auburn and Cam and redirect it to Boise St. The Boise St. campaign started with that pitiful Va Tech team, and it's gotten a full head of steam from all this. ESPN has done nothing but dog Auburn publically from the beginning of the season. It was the same thing they did to us in 2004. They swayed public opinion away from an undefeated Auburn team, and cost us votes that would've gotten us into the BCS. Now they are doing the very same thing, and trying to take a talented kid down while they are at it.

I think all of them are backtracking today because they've heard from a few lawyers.

Statement from Auburn's AD.

http://auburn.247sports.com/Article/Jacobs-No-question-about-eligibility-4922



I was very upset with AD Jacobs after the Tubby firing, but now I see why it was time for a change. I really disliked him for almost a year until I began to see that the changes he was making in AU Athletics were all having positive results. I have come to have the utmost respect for, and trust in his judgement. There was a great recruit in the AU basketball program that the AU Compliance Dept released due to possible issues. AD Jacobs will not allow any player to stay if there is any question about eligibility or character.


Enough said. WDE!

PDH re Kenny Rogers son... I had to dig but it looks like he was in Pelinis first class.  I remember we picked up to Bama kids in last minute scramble to fill the class.  One was a kid name Wald who fans went crazy for and he never played and went to a smaller school in Bama I think.  Found this on Justin:

Justin Rogers - 3* (5.6) - Auburn, Clemson, UCLA

Notes: For some reason, I thought Rogers left because he was homesick. I haven't confirmed it is the same person, but it appears that Justin is now a cornerback commit for Texas Tech after spending a season at Arizona Western Community College

I'm upset at the entire lot of the NCAA and just about ALL of the media. Rumors are the only thing that drive the press. Sports Illustrated comes out this week and says "OSU's Justin Blackmon is back after after being arrested for DRUNK DRIVING". well, he was NOT arrested for drunk driving - he got a ticket for having "trace" alcohol and being a minor.

pdh, didn't know if you knew but MSU's AD took a very quick exit before the season?

I'm not surprised Cam is a target, Meyer has had one of his worst seasons and Cam might have been another Tebow for him - but then one will never know if the decision Cam made to leave FL could have built a better player ultimately. Hopefully this will be resolved soon.

Thanks to all who watched the defensive struggle in Ann Arbor.  Congrads to Miami, OSU ::CowboySmiley::,AU, Badgers, the Ducks, and Neb. Bean I can't understand why they would take that chance and go for two in your game? Sorry Bama fans, wish Michigan had your defense!
Bean all I can say is, if you never put pressure on the QB any high school QB will complete the pass. In some defense of the Wolverine defense the entire secondary are freshmen. We lost one senor CB to the NFL and 2 CB's to injury for the season. So anyone wanting to play right out of high school or junior college give RR a call.
OK here is the box score for the Ill and Mich game. Since it set some records I will give you all a laugh! Final score 67- 65 Michigan. Their 6th win so we get to see them play over the holidays for your scoring amusement. This was the highest point total in Big Ten history, just great. Michigan had 676 total yards to Illinois's 561 total yards. Robinson had 305 yards passing and 62 rushing 3 TDs and was out for all of the 4th qt. Good news he was just sick and hopefully not a concussion. Forcier finished with 12 of 19 passing for 114 yards and 2 TDs. Michigan also had 5 turnovers, hmm. The defense sacked the QB one time for the game, which was actually the last play for Illinois going for 2. I will need the rest of the weekend to recover! Good luck to all, see ya on Monday. ::monkeywine2::

Thanks for the update Kiwi.. I did not see your finish but heard about it.  Congrats on the Ws everyone.  How bout Les Miles?  Missed that entire game so will have to read about it and check out highlights.

Our game was tough.  Scary tough.  Our QB is nursing a sprained ankle and they wanted to give him a week or two to be 100% so I am sure they never planned to play him.  On Thursday our backup went out with a season ending injury (still haven't disclosed it but he is out) and so we started out 3rd stringer.

Early in the first qtr our 3rd string - now starting QB took a hit to the head and was out.  We played an entire series and scored with our running back running the wildcat formation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  It was unreal.  The kid is great - played some QB in high school.  I was gulping beer at that point.  lolol

We played flat on D - unsure why.  Our stud WR who always tries to do too much ran a punt out of the endzone when he shouldn't have and FUMBLED on the 15 yd line.  We gave them 7 points and the momentum shifted big time.

Iowa St played very well and their coach has some huge balls to call for the two point conversion.  After the game our players said they expected it so they must have seen some tendencies on film.  I am grateful for the W and glad it was just one overtime.  And I am even more grateful that we play Kansas next week... though what the heck... they scored 35 pts in the 4th qtr to come from behind and beat Colorado?  My God.

The Canes pulled it out in the last 60 seconds  (Maryland)  ::MonkeyCheer4::

I was listening to the game on radio in my car. I had to drive past the stadium on my way home (thought I was driving to Kiwi's) -- and was trying to get past before the stadium started letting out. Fortunately for me -- no one was leaving the stadium since it was such a nail biter, game ended just as I passed by.

So -- a win -- and no getting stuck in stadium traffic :-) A good day all around

Sure hope my Dolphins can do the same against Baltimore today   ::MonkeyCheer4::

Congrats to all who won this weekend!

sharon....how 'bout the Canes! Are they Bowl eligible now?

On the Bama-LSU game....I picked LSU to win on another board, and so did a lot of others. I also think Bama could lose to Mississippi State if MSU plays as well as they are capable of playing. The MSU defense is very stout.


Congrats to Tommy Tuberville's team at TTech. Auburn fans still support our Tubby!

Thanks to all who watched the defensive struggle in Ann Arbor.  Congrads to Miami, OSU ::CowboySmiley::,AU, Badgers, the Ducks, and Neb. Bean I can't understand why they would take that chance and go for two in your game? Sorry Bama fans, wish Michigan had your defense!
Bean all I can say is, if you never put pressure on the QB any high school QB will complete the pass. In some defense of the Wolverine defense the entire secondary are freshmen. We lost one senor CB to the NFL and 2 CB's to injury for the season. So anyone wanting to play right out of high school or junior college give RR a call.
OK here is the box score for the Ill and Mich game. Since it set some records I will give you all a laugh! Final score 67- 65 Michigan. Their 6th win so we get to see them play over the holidays for your scoring amusement. This was the highest point total in Big Ten history, just great. Michigan had 676 total yards to Illinois's 561 total yards. Robinson had 305 yards passing and 62 rushing 3 TDs and was out for all of the 4th qt. Good news he was just sick and hopefully not a concussion. Forcier finished with 12 of 19 passing for 114 yards and 2 TDs. Michigan also had 5 turnovers, hmm. The defense sacked the QB one time for the game, which was actually the last play for Illinois going for 2. I will need the rest of the weekend to recover! Good luck to all, see ya on Monday. ::monkeywine2::

It wasn't the highest scoring game in D-1 on Saturday, Navy put up 75 on the board in their game  ::MonkeyEek::

sharon....how 'bout the Canes! Are they Bowl eligible now?

On the Bama-LSU game....I picked LSU to win on another board, and so did a lot of others. I also think Bama could lose to Mississippi State if MSU plays as well as they are capable of playing. The MSU defense is very stout.


Congrats to Tommy Tuberville's team at TTech. Auburn fans still support our Tubby!

I don't think UGA can pull it together enough to battle Auburn, one good game isn't enough to rattle my confidence in your HC or Cam and the team.

I don't underestimate RR's capacity to charm super boosters and they truly hold all the power for or against existing HC's. I am beginning to believe that AD's are nothing more than figureheads.

I'm still wondering what will happen to UNC's Davis and their AD  ::MonkeyNoNo::

I suspect it was grades Bean, he came from Oak Hill and traditionally diversity players end up in those types of prep programs due to grades to begin with. Programs don't make statements about players with academic issues and the NCAA sometimes waits to fully rule on a freshman until they are on campus and in fall camp as well.

None sorry just noticed your response. Personally I think they should keep RR. Just wish they would go out and get a nice solid Defensive Coaching staff. Some of the problem is the all freshmen secondary. They could be helped if there was just a little pressure on any QB. ie a few blitz's here and there.

Post by: nonesuche on November 09, 2010, 10:17:10 PM
Kiwi - I've decided it's easier to hire offensive skill than defensive. I don't think it's a coincidence that the power programs have HC's with strong backgrounds in defense - just look at Auburn and Alabama? RR is a fighter, but WVU was also known more for it's offense than it's defense when RR was HC there. Hopefully he can find a decent DC to fill the gaps by next season.

PDH - the whole Cam thing seems to be so personal now, don't you think? If he was cheating at FL then why on earth was he kept on the team? I think all of this mud slinging is going to splash back all over UF..........

Just shows the perceived dollar values of Heisman's and NC's to produce such ugly battles in the press.

It is a personal vendetta because Auburn is winning with Cam Newton, and the fires have been flamed by ESPN. They should never be allowed back on the Auburn campus.

http://blog.jackaruteonsports.com/football/a-pox-on-all-your-houses.html


PDH - Had a really busy day so just catching up on all the talking heads have put out there today on ESPN. This entire debacle really does touch upon all of the corrupt and greedy elements present in college football today.

Forgive my diatribe but I think so many don't know the reality of college football stars....or how programs really function

At this point and perhaps never, will we know if it's accurate that Cam was caught cheating. I can attest that I was never surprised by the laptop incident. If people believe that players have funds to buy new laptops while on scholarship then they are smoking crack. Yes it probably wasn't wise to buy one out of the back of the trunk of a car, but if you find a used one on Craig's List and buy it - you run the same risk. Tossing it out the window as he did was done in total panic, which didn't surprise me either. Was it foolish to a degree - yes, but it happens with immature young players.

The fact UF allowed these supposed reports to radiate from even those on their periphery is breaking federal privacy laws for academic records. Meyer's crazy display of announcing his retirement and then changing his mind, had all the earmarks of political play as well. I thought that then and I believe it even more now, there is a backstory there that I feel could be very revealing.

Additionally to think that MSU would lure a top player over Auburn is ludicrous. Sorry and nothing against Cullen, but MSU's performance over the last four years is indicative of issues competing with or without a Cam Newton. I wish Cullen luck with those challenges for I don't wish MSU anything but success, but it's time for some reality here.

Even Stoop has stated they saw nothing irregular in their recruitment of Newton as well, and Stoop is bigger than Cullen in terms of reputation and program. So who do I tend to believe? Also MSU has admitted that when the NCAA requested further documentation of the supposed incident they reported in January, that MSU drug their feet for six months and finally providing a "partial" for this request in July? Something very hinky here..........very.

Oddly enough MSU's AD leaped over to Oregon in September and it was a big surprise to the administration for we know someone quite well who worked on his staff. Oregon was a great move for him but the timing of all of this is bothersome.

I think few of these SEC coaches expected Newton to do as well as he has, but I credit his HC and also the rest of the Tiger team - there's plenty of talent on that team.

Perhaps some of this is the Reggie Bush/Heisman legacy, many of us here wanted the NCAA to catch Bush but we also wanted them to catch USC and I haven't seen much in repercussions to date for USC. Beyond disappointing particularly when they embraced having our least fave HC Kiffen leap from TN back to USC.

If the SEC wanted to steal the Heisman away from Newton they may have already succeeded, for it seems the truth is inconsequential. Newton obviously wasn't ESPN's pick, right? Since they think they can rule college football I am assuming either the world will allow them to get away with this, or someone will finally stop their rape and pillage in college football.

I fear perception is reality, when it's ESPN talking.

The other thing I'd like to say (based upon son's previous and current experience) is that fans need to understand that many of these "stars" grow up in homes without basic comforts such a running water, much less two parents, or enough food to eat. They often have high schools that don't require they attend classes or provide tutoring or support for learning disabilities.

How we can expect them to leap into college football, handling all the stresses of football and academic demand is naive to believe they can. Cam and many others have proven this and when supposed top academic programs such as UNC's have cheating allegations, it's even more naive to think players across college football have struggles meeting the academic demands.

Deep breath - I'm finished. Apologies for my rant.

Go None Go!  To be honest... I haven't read much on the Cam situation because it is hearsay at this point and like you said... ESPN has no credibility with me.  News sources used to have to confirm stories prior to printing but... not anymore.

Re Urban Meyer's retirement.. I have read more than once that he was planning on leaving but that he got wind that they were talking to Bob Stoops and he wanted no part of that and came back.  At the time Bob was under major heat from the fans in OK for losing in the MNC game and said to be fed up.  I have no clue if there is truth to it but I've seen it a few times.  Regardless, something happened to make Urban come back that quickly.

THANK YOU NONESY!!!!!!!  ::MonkeyDance:: ::MonkeyDance:: ::MonkeyDance::


Cam is a good kid. He made mistakes, owned them, and paid the price. He spent time in exile at Blinn JC, and he grew up. His dad is a good man. They do not deserve this character assassination.
There is NO RENOVATED CHURCH. It's still unusable, and run down. Cam drives a scooter around campus because it's cheap. His older brother was in the NFL, so the family has some money...just not a lot. He is no Reggie Bush. His family still lives in the SAME HOUSE in the suburbs. There's no fancy cars and NO BLING.

When this all blows up, it will change college football and the media forever.
 
This is why I despise ESPN. They do have an agenda. They NEVER went after Reggie Bush and Pete Carroll and USC and the Pac 10 the way they are going after us. And there was NEVER any doubt RB was paid, No one tried to hide it. They just refused to talk to the NCAA. It was out there in plain site but the media looked the other way.

People should write the advertisers of ESPN and let them know how displeased they are with the rumor mongering and destruction of a young man's dreams. ::MonkeyMad::

Just a side note, there is a high school kicker in Mississippi that was kicked off his team for wearing pink cleats given to him by his grandmother a cancer survivor. The school district is going to court on the side of the coach. Sorry I don't know how to bring it over. Since the we lost one our own SM, thought Id mention it prior to the weekend games here.

PDH - I didn't realize his older brother played in the NFL but unless you are a 'star' in the NFL, the majority have contracts that hover around 200K annually - after you pay your agent and your taxes that really isn't a lot of $$$ to spread around. As for pastors or ministers, they are dependent upon the tithe budget for their compensation and in economies like this, I suspect many are doing with far less. Scholarships provide for meager room/board off campus, your cell phone and maybe one dinner out per week. Been there, done the math for son's.

As for writing ESPN,  I wish that I think that would help but I think it's more likely they love stirring the pot because it increases hits to their site as well as fools willing to pay to sign up for their ESPN insider  ::MonkeyNoNo:: They use those hits they track to convince advertisers that their exposure is on their site is worth it. Today it appears Doritos is the front page advertiser of choice on ESPN - I feel if campaigns were targeted to ESPN advertisers then perhaps there could be an impact.

Bean - I had not heard that theory regarding Urban's retire/not-retire power play........I've heard others but not that one so thanks for sharing.

Kiwi - I'm not sure anything I write has great value but thanks for your kind words. You have my permission to share. I hope RR has spent this week doing more than scratch his head about how to bring the big D in your next game !!!

none - The church only had enough work done to keep it from being condemned again....like bringing electrical up to code so that it wasn't a fire hazard. No massive, expensive remodeling at all. It's my understanding that Cecil got most of the money from his son in the NFL. He had the money, per his meeting with the city council SEVERAL MONTHS BEFORE any recruitment started. The church is a red herring.

I agree with you about ESPN. That's why I said I'm gonna target their advertisers. There are also some facebooks out there such as Fire Thayer Evans. Auburn people are very angry at what's been done to Cam and to our reputation as well.

This kinda says it all about how the Auburn family feels right now...

I am not trying to minimize the injustice of Cam's tribulations -but, look at what happened to Dez Bryant at OSU last year. He was NEVER proved of illegal deeds, but if we played him under "suspicion" -- we would have to forfeit games. You are therefore "guilty" before due justice -- it sucks!!  ::MonkeyMad::

I hate no spell check or "edit" abilities! Dez was only under "suspicion" of wrong doing -- not remotely proved!

GL to everyone today!!!!!!

I know Wreck is playing TX and he always gets quiet before big games. GL - trust me you can do this.  ::CowboySmiley::

PDH's Auburn plays Georgia DAWGS

Cuz, Kiwi, GO, KTF, others...???

Anyway... healthy games, with good calls to everyone. 

We play KS another PPV game.  I am headed out of town to meet up with a dear friend to watch the game at a great steak house.  So I won't be peeking in this evening. 

GO SM TEAMS GO.

we have new construction in our neighborhood and they keep hitting our trunk lines  ::MonkeyMad:: so internet has been in/out - in/out all week!

wreck - you are exactly right about Bryant and the presumption of guilt and not innocence. One would think someone/anyone would take ESPN and Feldman to task over this. They don't want to see these players succeed, just feed off them like vultures !!

Sharon - I'm watching your game in between working on stuff I need to get done and it looks like you're doing great thusfar, why on earth GT hired Grobe for defense I'll never understand. Whatever mojo he had earlier in his career has definitely gone bye-bye. I also tried writing you back via email three times and get kicked offline before I can ever get it sent. I'll try later - I actually typed up my post on notepad so that I could just cut and paste to get it off quickly so if this post appears just know I got lucky  ::MonkeyHaHa::

Did anyone see all three service academies will likely be bowl eligible? Can't remember the last year that happened....

PDH - I'll be watching and pulling for you. Thanks for posting the links to the Auburn nation video. I just am not sold on MSU being honest for what other 'issues' could they have had in the off-season to prohibit following up with requested discussions by the NCAA with their staff? They mention basketball ???? WTF ?????? It all angers me so much for I think it's increasingly apparent that the time lag was either second thoughts about what they were doing - or time to manufacture evidence or get their story straight. It also doesn't make sense that if Cam truly was going to the highest bidder, that this was never advanced to Stoops too. I mean if you're marketing a commodity you market to all, not just one. So I'm still pretty furious that the odor on all of this stinks.......I also saw that his older brother was cut from the Jaguars in training camp, which just means he was never getting rich in the NFL but trying to get his foot in the door. Just blows my mind how many assume every player in professional sports is making a killing.........

Cuz - thanks for the kudos for son, they have one more game which due to weather has now been postponed.........praying they can win it and finish with a stellar season. Belated Happy Birthday my friend and I expect Petrino will handle UTEP quick, hard, and fast  ::MonkeyHaHa::

Bean - hoping you pull off the win again today and good luck to all of our SM teams, we're pulling for the wins !!  ::MonkeyCheer4::

today's game was almost embarrassing to watch.  2nd string running back runs for 170 yards, they take him out and 3rd string back gets nearly 150 yards.  4th string freshman QB comes in and throws a 70 yard touchdown pass to another freshman who never plays.  Then the 4th string QB runs a bootleg trying to run out the clock and Indiana completely lays down and lets him walk for a TD from 25 yards out.

I think I was at the game the last time we scored this many points.  I was a kid and we played Marquette when they had a football program.

Well Kiwi, hopefully you will be kind to us next week.  I would like to see us run the table these last two games.  We should have our first string running back returning as well as our top two receivers who really didn't play today.   This team has surprised me since we lost our top defensive player in the first game and have had the most injuries I can remember in a long time.

good luck to the rest of you..   I plan on trying to watch a few of the games yet today.

None- The defense actually didn't give up a TD today. All scores for Purdue were off 5 turnovers, in a driving cold rain. Actually there were 10 total turnovers for both sides.  Second half we alternated QB's on each series.

I'm sure he'll be pulling for his good friend McElroy, and all his former team mates. That's certainly understandable.

Congrats again Klaas and Bean too  ::monkeywine2::

Texasmom - congrats to TCU, what a great and exciting season your team has had !  ::monkeywine2::

PDH - son's perspective has transitioned to the coaching, it's how he views every game now, even both alma-mater's. He's been intrigued by Chizik's capability to push AU so fast and so far. Of course he's always hoping his friends do well, whatever their endeavor, but he's definitely a may the best team win man. He was excited his team won again last weekend, a 10 win season thusfar !!

 ::MonkeyCheer4::

I also saw the shootings reported in Hattiesburg, one has to wonder why players feel the need to visit risky places but they do........just sad and tragic and I hope all four will physically be ok.

Well my respect for Nascar has gone up another notch to a whole new level! He is so smart!
It is an amazing achievement for a coach to turn around a program in disarray in only 2 seasons. Even if we don't win another game what Coach Chizik is doing down at Auburn is amazing. The coaching staff he put together is brilliant and the recruiting has been outstanding. Somehow all that has gotten lost with all the effort by the media to ruin Cam Newton and Nick Fairley.

Congratulations to Nascar's team on the 10 wins!! That is amazing! ::MonkeyCheer4::

Bean - thanks so much for the support for son, means a great deal. I did tell him the CEO was moving on so to tap Bo on the shoulder  ::MonkeyHaHa:: In our dreams............!

PDH - I was thinking today, as painful as the entire Cam and now Fairley media accusations are, that perhaps on the back side of this (when it ends) that even ESPN will be held accountable for feeding off these frenzies. We can hope, right?

I read where one of the southern Miss players is now paralyzed from the waist down, another will likely never speak again for his vocal cords were sliced in half by the bullet. Even if they were out partying to suffer these types of permanent injuries to their quality of life is just horrifying. Perhaps it's time for every college football program to include in their orientation for their players, a review of all of this in terms of a learning track, so that they are all fully aware of the risks. Something has to be done now......

On a lighter note I had to post this today, daughter sent it to me when a Bama friend sent it to her. Oh to make a mistake of throwing into double coverage for Coach Saban is going to publicly treat you like a bad child  ::MonkeyWink::

nonesy - The whole Nick Fairley thing is a made up issue. He got tackled and knocked into the GA QB's shin.....not his knees. And on the other hit, Nick was already in the air when Murray let go of the ball, and he couldn't stop. He didn't see that the ball was gone in time. He weighs 300 lbs, so it's not like there was much he could do. It was only a couple of seconds late, but he got flagged for it, and that was OK. He didn't start out to make a late hit.

This is what his team mate had to say in support of Nick:
"College football is a full speed game. To reach the pinnacle you can't hold back between the whistles" "If you don't understand this you've either never played the game or placed at a high enough level to excel."   Lee Zimba on 11-16-10

All the Auburn hate is just unprecedented and very undeserved.  ::MonkeyMad::

A Bama Grad Assist. who used to be an Assist. AD at MSU has been interviewed by the NCAA, and inside info has it that the FBI removed some computers from the Bama athletic complex on Friday. Bama says no comment.

The plot thickens..... ::MonkeyEek::

That Southern Miss story is just heartbreaking. But we hear about this kind of thing just about every season. I wish these kids would be a little more careful with their lives, but they have no concept of danger at that age. Clubs, drinking, and weapons are an awful mix. It's always trouble for somebody.I have those kids in my prayers. I feel awful for them.


That Saban tape made the rounds down here too. I just don't like his coaching style. He always seems to be on the edge of losing complete control of his temper. It makes me nervous for those kids. I guess they don't mind it.


Bo Pellini and Nascar would be a great pairing! beans...make a call!!! ::MonkeyHaHa::

I agree !! Bean please make the call !!!  ::MonkeyKiss::

I watched the entire game last week and the replays that have been sent all over the internet of Fairley's hit - and also the replays of the over-the-edge hits delivered on him by UGA as well. It was an emotional and tense game, this stuff happens. I think the tenor pitch by UGA with all the protest probably has much to do with the fact that this game determined their bowl eligibility. With the way UGA started their season and the absence of suspended Green, that really determined early on they were risking their bowl eligibility IMO.

Don't know if you knew this, but that GA's puter might have also been reviewed additionally because the NCAA had already protested Saban's many "interns" before the season even began. It seems he had several more than the NCAA allows, for they only allow 2 GA's and 2 quality control. I also feel sure that GA didn't welcome the scrutiny or issues following him from MSU either.

All that's coming out now about Bill Bell and Kenny Rogers should play very poorly for MSU and has me wondering if this is why they drug their feet in responding back to the NCAA post the initial report in January? Why are former players there so involved in recruiting ????? It's widely known that former players and/or boosters cannot approach or discuss recruiting with recruits. I'm guessing those are rules that MSU feels they aren't accountable for? Or have they opened pandora's box?

It also seems staff at MSU have not provided concrete evidence yet of Cam's father ever stating directly to them in word, phone call, or text that there was a 'price' for Cam. Isn't it ironic to hear Bell's cell phone containing the incriminating texts are unavailable because his cell phone has water damage?

Anyway, perhaps the FBI can get to the bottom of this, for it's time to stop the media madness.

PDH, as for Saban smacking his QB on the behind on national TV, I do think it makes him look a bit ridiculous.

I read it and thought it was a great idea.  I'm a lurker over there though because that case has worn me out.  I said it all already and ALE just pisses me off.  I am with Wreck... it doesn't matter if the bone belongs to Natalee (except to her family) because nothing will be done about it.  I am counting on Peru to make sure he gets his payback.

So who is everyone playing this week?

We play TX A&M.  Wreck plays KS right?  That's all I got.  Good luck to all.  Play safe and fair.  ::monkeywine2::

I don't want Aruba even attempting to try Joran. They will try to spin it as though they are the heroes. Let Joran die in Peru with Natalee at home in Alabama to rest.

Yeah you are right.  Figures we'd get them with a new life and our QB still gimpy.   I am already nervous.  Yes we want to play you for all the marbles at the end.  And yes I think Auburn is off this week because they play Bama next week.  I can't keep up with the Cam situation.. seems the investigation actually started with Colonial Bank failure and Lowder.

i see a lot of people think if the jawbone is indeed natalee's that it was a plant (btw.....hubby thought the same thing right away)......wouldn't the forensic testers be able to tell if the bone had been emersed in salt water for a long time...or buried in sand for a long time? just got me to thinking...and yes.... i hope it is hers for all our sakes but i sure as hell don't want aruba to get joran.

I keep hoping that since Peru hasn't capitulated to Joran's demands thusfar and fended off Aruba's attempts to meddle, that they will stay the course and keep him there.

Miss you - good luck against Ole Miss but I feel sure you'll win that one

GO- comgrads Its been since 1994 since they won in Ann Arbor. On a positve note Robinson past the record for QB's with 1500 yrds rushing and I believe 2500 yrds passing. His season totals are slightly higher than Newtons but playing on a team with the worst total defense below 100th in the nation, can't help in any voting. GO maybe next year!
Just a rumor but the AD may be out soon.

sorry for another loss for you kiwi, I expect Bean's been yelling at her TV much tonight as well.

I have chocolate truffle cake for the dawghouse, hope a choco fix will help. I've been rolling truffles with fresh raspberry centers all night - my eyes are blurry......

Looks like cuz's team put up another win, MSU had another loss. I still think there is a big story there and with Urban too, as it relates to all the accusations against Cam. FL pulled off a big win but against App State?

College football is never dull...........one big roller coaster of a season once again.

Well, Frijole -- you all got hosed last night. I'm usually not one for conspiracies, but 16 penalties against Nebraska to 2 against A&M is VERY shaky. (especially the "roughing the QB" call)

Wreck - thanks for confirming what I saw last night... those refs had it IN for us.  They were the same refs that did our other worse performances:  Texas and IA State.  I will leave it at that.

The shit has hit the fan.  There are rumors that both Carl and Bo Pelini are suspended for our next game.  Taylor Martinez quit the team.  Bo had to go visit the chancellor regarding his behavior.  There was a WHOLE lot that went on and I am reading like crazy to figure out what is true and what is not.  I will refrain from commenting until I feel I am giving you the truth.  But it has been insane.  The only thing I know is that we at least deserved to go into overtime last night.  Hell our starting QB was reinjured and couldn't run, our 2nd string is OUT and our 3rd stringer went in and did his best but it wasn't enough but we still were in it. 

I will let you know Wreck.

I think the wheels just came off in the 4th Q psychologically with the interceptions sharon. It's hard to describe how physical and fast VT is, as compared to most others in the ACC. The game proved what a good match UM and VT were, either one could have won that game. UM's is clearly moving back into prominence, next season should be very exciting.

Bean - I have to ask how offensive was Bo's exchange with Martinez as compared to even the video I posted earlier of Saban's rant and spanking of a player???  Poking a player in the collarbone IMO pales in comparison to spanking a player like a child - the latter is humiliating and degrading.

I can tell you that one time and one time only, in one of son's high school basketball games the refs were so biased that post the game I marched up to them and let them have it. I am sure they laughed at the mom taking it upon herself to lecture them, but doggone it we had more injuries in that game due to the poor officiating - I was furious. When it's so blatant as it obviously was in your game, you start to wonder if the world's gone crazy? I bet your Dad dreaded a parent like me though  ::MonkeyHaHa:: I never did it again, wanted to but didn't like people knowing what my angry face at it's worst looked like  ::MonkeyHaHa::

Post by: Frijole on November 22, 2010, 12:00:12 AM
OK... will do my best... lots going on.  Yes - Martinez is on the team and did not quit.

From what I gather Martinez' best friend is his Dad.  That is good except I guess the coaches are challenged constantly on what plays they should use to best utilize his son.. in other words the dad is too involved.  To the point where TM has been reprimanded previously for texting his dad during team functions.  OK...

When TM went down last night he was instructed to ride the John Deere into the locker room to be checked out.  He refused to ride it.  He took his time walking to the LR and found his phone and called his Dad.  The medical staff were left to wait.  Bo was mad at him for not being in the game (his head) and told him to get his head into the game and that if he ever phoned his dad during a game when his team was waiting on him to be xrayed etc with a game on the line it'd be the last time.  And yes there were F bombs in there.  When Pelini walked away TM said "Fn Bitch".  That set BP off.

The son, the dad, the coach and the AD all gathered today to talk.  The rumors started because he was not at practice.  Pelini said at 8pm tonight that TM is with the team.

I also learned that Pelini and the head judge of this crew have not hit it off and it goes back to 2008 so he knew it would be a long night.  And it was.  Some Arkansas fans warned us this would happen - they lived it when they left the SWC for the SEC.  They were right.  So next up is Colorado.  I have no idea if TM will be healthy enough to play. 

Thats all i got for now.  I hope there is no more news.. just too much drama.

Bean you might find this interesting. I believe the ref's from your game came to KC and did the Cardinal game on Sunday. Arizona had almost the same penalties as Neb had.  They lost 2 challenges without any video showing conclusively, even though the ruling on the field was for AZ. The best had to be a 15yd penalty for the QB tossing the football as a delay of game. Here is how that went. KC call time out as the play started. A linebacker decides to just sack the QB anyway after the whistle 15yrds back from the line of scrimmage. The QB is still holding the ball and tosses it. Hmm no penalty for tackling the QB just a delay of game penalty during a timeout.

Thanks for the link, btw. Cam is that once in a lifetime college athlete who is so gifted that it's almost unbelievable. Watching him this season has been so much fun. I'd love for him to come back for his senior season but with the treatment he's gotten from the media, and from other teams...why would he?
Our opponents are gunning for him because he's so good, and their defenses have been trying to take him out at the knees. He should go on to the NFL and have a great career there before some jealous goober cause him an injury that could jeopardize it all. Our O-Line is the best in the nation, and they have protected him so far, but most are seniors. So I look for Cam to play on Sundays somewhere....and I wish him well.

I can't believe how fast this season has gone by! We're down to our last 3 games....
It's great to be an Auburn Tiger anytime, but 2010 has really been a blessing!


wreck...nothing new to report about Cam. He's eligible to play for Auburn and always has been. The media greatly exaggerated the story, and the real issue is still with Mississippi St.not Auburn. The media can't seem to get that straight. I also believe that Coach Mullen's wife has done some talking out of school and hurt her hubby's career..... ::MonkeyEek::

OK gang... time to play some more games.  Wreck.. big one for you against OU.  PDH has a huge game also.  Who is everyone playing and what day?

We have Colorado which should have been a pushover but with our QB out and our 3rd stringer in.. dunno.  We lost our #1 WR yesterday in practice to a broken foot.  This is the 5th player to break a foot or leg this year.  Strange.  Hope our defense can score. 

Wreck - you'll get a kick out of this.  The student section plans on all waving yellow flags this week.  Also there is a group from the private board planning on all wearing ref uniforms.   ::MonkeyDevil::  I am sure poor Bo will stand meekly on the sideline this week.

None - your sons team play?  They are kicking some butt.  Tell him to go get another W for us.

Good luck to everyone this week!

Oh OK......it was filmed in 2009 so I thought he was already at OSU. He is such an awesome kid. I'm gonna follow his career. I hope he's a Heisman contender in a couple of years.




WOW.....everybody is picking Auburn to lose, and hoping that we do. There has been such an outpouring of hate this week it's almost hard to fathom. Lou Holtz threw an Auburn helmet across the set last Sat. and Auburn fans blew up the phone lines complaining about how disrespectful that was. He's just a slobbering old fool. And a hypocrit. He left 3 schools in trouble with the NCAA for violations while he was coaching. He cheated everywhere he went.
Auburn did not pay Cam Newton a dime, and all the issues are at MSU and STILL there are people on ESPN and CSS and Fox insinuating that Auburn and Cam are about to get hammered by the NCAA....not gonna happen.
Mark Schlabach just had someone email him and say what a good job he did with the Cam Newton story....what a joke. He has yet to get it right. His reporting has been full of misinformation and insinuations just like Pat Forde and that Schad jerk.
The LA Times had an article stating that Auburn should lose the Iron Bowl for the good of college football. WTH??? Cam and Auburn have done nothing wrong!
Cam is eligible to play. The bad guys are from Mississippi State University. That school is in trouble. Florida is in trouble. Cam did not have academic issues at Florida. Blinn College made a statement about Cam being totally clean academically when he transferred there from Florida. They would not have accepted him otherwise. But the media is not listening to the truth. They don't want to broadcast the truth because then they'd have to admit they reported a bunch of lies.
It is truly bizarre the way the hate has grown, fed by the media, just because Cam Newton is the best college player of his generation, and he happens to be at Auburn. I knew how sleazy ESPN and the media could be, but I have never seen anything so out of control as this .
I am totally disgusted by the media, and especially ESPN, Fox Sports and the New York Times. It's just shameful.
 ::MonkeyMad:: ::MonkeyMad:: ::MonkeyMad:: ::MonkeyMad:: ::MonkeyMad:: ::MonkeyMad::

I hope Cam Newton's lawyer is taking note. Heads are gonna roll. He's already said he has Florida's address. I bet he has a few more.....

PDH... hang in there and remember that when no one says you can do it you fight harder.  It motivates.  The press - not just sportscasters - have all become ratings whores and are no classier than TMZ paps.  Bo Pelini was the target this week.  What is sad is they failed to mention in most cases the officiating which was the worst I have ever seen.  Even A&M fans came to our boards to apologize for it this week.  At this point all you guys can do is keep on winning and winning and winning. 

I know its hard to ignore it and it has to just kill you but trust me... most good college football fans know that those guys are full of it.  ESPN's glory days ended years ago.  You need for Kiffin to do something stupid and the attention will go there. ha.  Oops  Mark May just said Auburn will win!

Positive note - we are retiring #93 to honor Mr. Suh tomorrow.  Our hero is coming home for the occasion.  Should be fun.

Wreck I was just watching Lou Holtz. Don't be too upset he could have done the same thing for OU. My dad had only a few comments, wasn't that the team we've watch a few times and they were very good!
Pdh- all I can say is try Nones cake and everything will be better. After a Michigan and AZ Cardnals weekend I thought I was going to blow a gasket. The idea of the cake really helped. AU has had a fab year. Even if it ends I've enjoyed watching and actually having a team I was rooting for win. Just saying I was in that same place last weekend.

PDH - son is onsite for the game and excited about the match-up. He called me earlier today and said it's not often you get to see such an emotionally charged game and it heightens everything, and that you cannot underestimate the emotions with the players - how they manage it and as Bean posted - if it raises your motivation and translates onto the field. His team is done for the season but they have a big combine on Monday - those of you here who know where he is will understand the importance of who will be there. So he flies back out tonight and back to work ! I'm just glad that after so many years of dedication as a player that he can sit in the stands and enjoy an epic match-up ! He's earned it.

Good luck to all the SM teams playing this week and I'm back to baking non-stop for the moment.

Thanks for the kudos on the cake, it was the kind of endeavor you're not sure you can make yours look as good as a real pasty chef but I think we did  ::MonkeyWink:: Plus it was so tasty !!

This week I have an assortment of cookies, PDH grab a few before the game starts, although I'm a bit concerned about you having a sugar 'high' going into this !!  ::MonkeyHaHa::

Homemade raspberry/lemon curd tarts, signature shortbread cookies dipped in chocolate, lime rosettes, and cheesecake bars ! Something for everyone !

Red - I think Bama was not prepared for the adjustments that Auburn made during halftime but I also think the 'spirit' of the Auburn team perhaps had more perseverance? It was a battleground of a game and I think the score reflects how close the overall talent quotient was on both teams.

PDH - I guess Lou might have to eat some crow.....I also fear that the allegations will only heighten now that Auburn has won and possibly in the NC. Hold onto your hat, take a deep breath, this could continue to be a rocky ride. Enjoy the win  ::monkeywine2::

Archie Manning is on the post-game show so hopefully this will be a realistic and respectful commentary.

OK I have pretty much HAD IT with Beebee the Big 12-2 commissioner.  He is a total ahole.  They did not even bother to bring the Big 12 north trophy to the game because "they were scared".  For crying out loud.... Pelini and crew are all bark and no bite... like Nebraska is a risk to flipping 'hurt you' when you hand out a trophy.

So I guess there is no ceremony.. Beebee you are a weenie, a prick, and an absolute waste of human being.

This has me just livid... I wasn't kidding... Beebe is a prick.  Quote:

Big 12 Commissioner Dan Beebe did not attend Friday’s game in Lincoln.

In fact, the Big 12 had no representatives present to honor Nebraska with a Big 12 North trophy after Nebraska's 45-17 victory over Colorado clinched the north title.
Why not?

“They didn’t think it would be safe to send somebody up,” Nebraska athletic director Tom Osborne said, referencing some “nasty” e-mails the Big 12 said it had received from Nebraska fans. “That’s the word I got.”
Osborne added: “You can call Beebe and ask him.”


Give me a break... you ever been here?  LOL  Last thing you should worry about is handing us a trophy Dan.  You are as worthless as Aruban Law Enforcement.  Seriously.

son texted there was a lot of disappointed fans today and that McElroy has a concussion, not the shoulder injury the analysts related.

Given the classless way Auburn was treated today at BDS....it could not have happened at a better place, and in the way it did.  WAR DAMN EAGLE!  I am really disappointed at all the tricks used by Bama. Not allowing a Tiger Walk? We had one anyway. And we had two pre-game Tiger Walks too,at the hotel,just because Bama tried to stop it.  Putting our Band up in the top of the stadium away from our fans? They just played louder. And we still did Rammer Jammer. Playing those songs over the PA that were insulting to Cam and his family? Just more motivation to win.
Selling those t-shirts about Cam? Another reason to win in Bama's house...Jordan-Hare West.

Whatever happened to good sportsmanship, and just letting the kids decide the game on the field? What college football has become is being showcased right now at Auburn's expense, and it's a very ugly picture.

I am so proud of this team. They have the whole sports world against them, and they refuse to lose. They have more guts and character than most of the adults around them.

I am proud....more than you can imagine. We now have the media calling Cam's dad a pimp right before the game. Actually used that word.
I'm happy about the win, but I am sickened by what's going on around my team. It's been so ugly, and it's about to get worse because of the loss to Bama, and the potential for Auburn to win the BCS....as if they haven't hurt Cam enough.

Bama fans were waving dollar bills in the stadium today. I'm calling them out. Totally classless and very unsportsman-like. They had Cam hate signs all over. Completely disgusted by what I saw.

Congrats to Oregon, it was an exciting game to watch until the 3rd Q when the Ducks slammed the door shut. I think what will be interesting if Auburn faces them in the NC, is how both teams are 4th Q specialists? I am guessing it could have the potential to be a nail biter to the end!

PDH - I think the good news is that even with all the public taunts and slights, your team held it together.

I do think this season will go down as one of the biggest drama-fests ever. It's wearing me out so I can only imagine what it's doing to these players.

PDH & wreck - I so hope the two of you can work this out. Not to offend you wreck but you snapped off at me early on in the season, which is why I try to avoid any discussion of your team. That said, I wish you and your team well always. Honestly I value this thread and it's spirit too much to create dissension among us.

I have to say that what I have learned internally via my son about college football is very troubling at times. Like PDH, I found Bama's leadership allowing those songs to be played prior to the game appalling. I know they can't control all of what the fans do with a crowd of 115K + for honestly having attended more than a few games there, the security is overworked trying to keep the alcohol out. But even son related some of this was shocking and uncalled for and he's pretty tolerant just due to his own conditioning to tune so much out as a player.

College football is in trouble, ethics and rules simply aren't respected but it's not just one program, it's many programs. Furthermore, all of the rumors which proved to be true about Reggie Bush circulated while he was a senior yet there was not a public lynching such as we're seeing with Cam Newton & his family.

USC was an ESPN fave as is Bama and even Boise. There is no denying it and I have a real issue with any media outlet trying to influence programs to this degree and like PDH I'm glad that Leach is suing them. ESPN isn't the NCAA and it's bad enough they have fiscally raped college football as they have.

These are big issues and important issues. If you love college football then you have to care and recognize this.

sharon - I swear I did not see that loss coming, still blows my mind a bit for I don't think any analyst predicted it either? Just one more instance of how competitive college football has become. With UM, USF, UF, and FSU the recruiting will become a real dogfight.

GO - watching some of your team's game and they are looking great !

kiwi - sigh, I knew Tressell would be tough to face. I just hope RR can learn from this season and get Michigan back in shape by next season. I just made espresso dark chocolate snowcap cookies and I'll bring extra to the dawghouse.

cuz  - no score yet in your game but still pulling hard for you !

texasmom - wishing TCU great mojo this afternoon !

Lordy, Duke has scored and held UNC scoreless in the 1st Q - that may be a great rivalry game with two programs less than 10 miles apart !

More rivalry games today.  Kiwi gets to play against his fav team tOSU.  Cuz has a big one against Lucky Les.  GO your team will kill NW.  Fl vs Fl State.  OK State vs OK... winner plays Big 12 championship.  GL Wreck!!

Congrats to the winners yesterday.  Oregon and Auburn each have another big game to play but I do believe they will be at the dance.  Should be an interesting match up. 



Thanks, .... Don't need to kill..  Just need to win for the roses

Figure of speech GO.   ::MonkeyDevil::  And you went beyond Kill today.. it was a bloodletting.

Thanks all, yes it was sort of a brutal game.  I think our top running back was a bit ticked off that he only got to run 3 times today.  He was last years Big Ten offensive player of the year.  He has been out the past two games with an injury.  The third string running back has scored 8 TD's in the last two games. 

LSU lost so that should move everyone up a bit.  We are about as high as we can go.  No more games left for the Big Ten except for Illinois playing a non conference.

We did shatter our all time scoring average for a single season.  And then Iowa loses to Minn???   surprise there.

I may have to watch OK tonight if we get the game.

GO I still recall when your program was desperate for a QB so enjoy this.

TCU nearly had a score as high as yours too ! Much has changed over the last two weeks in the BCS standings.

Congrats to cuz's hawgs for the great win !!  ::monkeywine2:: Congrats to TCU !

MSU is currently leading against Ole Miss but I'm pulling hard for Ole Miss to win !

UGA should handle Ga Tech easily and they really need a win for Richt is truly under fire.

Old visor head at SCarolina is leading over Clemson heading into the half and no surprise there, but so far that game is much closer than I thought it might be.

Bean, what's your bet on how far up your Huskers move in Monday's polls?

Congrats to Oregon, it was an exciting game to watch until the 3rd Q when the Ducks slammed the door shut. I think what will be interesting if Auburn faces them in the NC, is how both teams are 4th Q specialists? I am guessing it could have the potential to be a nail biter to the end!

PDH - I think the good news is that even with all the public taunts and slights, your team held it together.

I do think this season will go down as one of the biggest drama-fests ever. It's wearing me out so I can only imagine what it's doing to these players.

Good luck today Cuz, I so hope you pull off the win today  ::MonkeyCheer4::

See I like the slamming the door shut part, LOL.  For so many years the Oregon games have been nail biters it's nice to relax in the 4th quarter for a change.

Wow that sounds fantastic. But would you be able to include an important note to cuz. If ever there is an appropriate time, to suggest a digital record be made of the orthodontic casts for Natalee. Her orthodontist should be able to have that done at any large dental lab that has a scanner. I wouldn't let the models out of my site though personally. The digital model could be emailed to anywhere they have dental labs. This is not something that is done routinely or ever for that matter. However, millions of crowns are manufactured and transmitted this way yearly. Impressions of a cast model will not archive and distort over time.

Thanks Bean, it's good to hear of a HC that's getting accolades - this coaching carousel environment is disheartening so good news is welcome!

It appears the verdict from the NCAA is in on Newton although the entire ruling raises more questions IMO. Rogers is really a bad guy and why MSU even associated any of their recruiting with him is a huge red flag. We can't know what "evidence" was reviewed but it appears Newton's father was allowing Rogers to be his mouthpiece. Not a good decision but I have to say I've seen players on son's teams believe rats like Rogers can help them get to the NFL, when they should know better. The allure often overcomes good judgment........

Hopefully MSU has learned a hard lesson from this also, for regardless if someone is a celebrated former player, if they are earning their living as an agent they have no business allowing them to serve as intermediary for any recruit. It appears the State Attorney General in MS is also now investigating Rogers.

I thought this was a good piece on the upcoming game for Auburn vs SCarolina. I know I'll be watching that game on Sat night !

Hi ya None!  Been busy at my new job.  Also trying to keep up with the Husker news.  Big game tomorrow for us.  Am reading now that Taylor Martinez will start and is almost 100%.  Define 100% is what I say!  LOL 

Dan Beebe had our trophy sent by mail to us.   ::MonkeyHaHa::  He's been busy talking with the national press about all those threats.  Nebraska press have not been able to get him on the phone for some reason.  So they started calling the police departments in Dallas (Beebe said they were looking into thousands of threats from NE fans)...  they have no reports or complaints on file.  The guy is a total goon. 

Couple of good games tomorrow.  Good luck to all.

Kiwi - I assumed RR would be safe with that record and progress (assuming he cans some on the D side of the ball)... guess I am wrong huh?  Wow.

None - thanks.  It was a tough game to loss.  Cannot figure out why we didn't take out our QB and play the backup - he would have been able to at least hold onto the lead!  We gave that game away.  Congrats to Oklahoma because they deserved to win.  sigh. 

I gotta tell you I am not sure anyone can stop Cam Newton.  That kid is one special athlete.  Not saying the rest of the team isn't but boy he gives them something very very special.  Does he have a son?  Or a little brother about 3?  Saw a photo of him celebrating after the win with a young kid wearing his jersey and looked just like him.  Cute photo.

Don't know where KTF went but we are playing Washington AGAIN in the HOliday Bowl.  We play them in September again.  Strange.  Would have liked to play someone new.  Oh well..

Bean I was surprised Bo didn't change out your QB too, double sigh. I was pulling hard for you.

I have no idea if Cam has a younger brother, I read he has an older brother who was cut from the NFL this fall - could be he's married with a child? I did note the broadcast filmed his mother in the stands but no sign of his father. Ultimately it appears Cam will go to the NFL in the next draft, or a strong likelihood of that. I may be naive but I think the different styles of play between AU and Oregon will be interesting to watch.....

I think the bowl selections have been interesting........don't know where KTF has been but hopefully he will come back to post.

None... I think I now know why we didn't substitute... our backup is out for the season (knew that) but HIS backup who started the CU game was out due to a concussion!  So our only alternative was a walk on true freshman that hadn't taken a collegiate snap.  Ouch.

Bean under the circumstances his time will be helpful in future competition. Where is the Huskers bowl game?
Surprisingly, the Wolverines are headed for the Gator Bowl. Can't really figure out why they would be selected for that good of a bowl game. We play Miss St. This should be a shoot out with good weather. We should put up the list of bowl games for everyone that posts. Hmm I have three bowl games in Phoenix this year with the NC game between Oregon and Auburn. The Fiesta Bowl and I believe the Insight Bowl in Tempe. I'll look up as many as possible and post them.

The list for the Heisman Trophy is out. Side note Denard Robinson finished with more than  2000 yrds passing and more than 1500 yrds rushing but didn't make the list. Those numbers are higher than when Michael Vic,  won the Trophy. Now that I brought that up he will have 10 and 10 against Miss St.

I thought MA would stay with TX too but I've also think former player/alumni/now HC's aren't judged harder? Sure looks that way at Miami and surely was at Bama.

Stewart at WVU is being "forced out" -- but, he won't go. They name Holgerson as OC and "Head Coach in Waiting" to take over next year when Stewart's contract runs out. Holgerson could have gone as HC just about anywhere - and he ends up in the WVU mess! Strange! He turned down the HC position at Pitt.


Title: Re: FOOTBALL WITH FRIJOLE #3 8/14/10 -
Post by: Frijole on December 16, 2010, 11:20:18 PM
Thanks Wreck... his style just doesn't fit with WVA at all.  Course as HC he can change all that but seems like a strange marriage.  And I really pity him having to work for a guy who he is replacing.  Talk about awkward.  Is that AD on drugs?  Strange.

So will TX ever announce any hires?  I'd be nervous.  Now OKState will be pursuing OCs as well. 

I read that Muschamp won't have 100% say in his staff... since former HC is there in an admin role... he will be there as 'an advisor'.  That would suck too.  Oh well for a couple million I could put up with some grief.  ::MonkeyDevil::

cuz I think Petrino realizes he's in a good place and with the success they had this season, he's positioned well

There is an interesting backstory to the Stewart replacement story at WVU. It appears Stewart was at a speaking engagement, the AD called in his OC and fired him, then called in Stewart after to relate the new 'deal'. Some are saying that Holgerson will bolt for another HC position in a year if he's offered a better one - so should be interesting to watch.......

Bean, I wouldn't want the deal Muschamp signed up for, he really isn't going to have the control he needs to revamp the Gators. Smacks of being careful what you wish for.

wreck, son spoke with an asst coach there this week by phone regarding another matter - Stewart was not told 2 weeks ago. That's just the AD doing damage control around how he handled it. It seems the AD felt replacing Stewart with a "big bang" manner would increase ticket sales which have been lower since RR left

WOW.  You got to admit... with you QB and Blackmon they'd be scary good with Leach.  Wonder if his ego could take being #2 on totem pole though.  Interesting though.

I checked on TX forum to see about coaching hires and no news there yet.  HOWEVER someone said that a major scandal is about to hit.  Meltdown.  What a disappointment this season has been for that team.

I swear with all the scandals someone, anybody please clean up college football! I'm with PDH, pay the players as if it's a job and then force the NCAA to put a cap on coach earnings, and then we might make some progress!

That is weird.  I just listened to Leach on the radio this a.m. and they asked him and he said he hadn't been contacted but is open.  The press is too quick to pull the trigger on stories.

We just lost our linebackers coach to Indiana.  He will be the DC.  Kind of surprised as he doesn't have that much coaching experience.  Glad they didn't take some of our more seasoned D coaches.. but this guy is full of fire and should be great some day.

Wreck... fyi we are still hoping to also be looking for an OC.  I doubt Pelini would fire ours though he should.  Right now we are just praying he lands a HC gig. 

I'm watching Ohio vs Troy and after all these years it still seems weird to see Solich wearing green instead of red.  He wasn't our best coach ever but he got screwed getting fired after 9 wins.

With Leach -- who knows????!! As far as Holgerson at WVU -- I'm guessing that it is a combination of Stewart's version and the AD's version! It doesn't sound good - either way.

As far as the next OC at Oklahoma State -- I think our fans are in unison that we want to see a "wide open" attack like we had this year!  ::CowboySmiley::

I was thinking today that for Maryland to force Fridge out when he just won coach of the year for the ACC - has anything like this ever happened before? You have to wonder how any coach in good standing with an 8 - 4 record is being forced out? I had the thought at the start of the season when Maryland wasn't winning many games that with Fridge not having great seasons of late, that he might be at risk. That said, it struck me today that this is yet another example of how ruthless the benchmarks are in this day and age.

We fired Solich after 9 wins and right after the victory at Colorado.  The AD didn't even go to the locker room or shake Frank's hand after a big win.  The AD had a vision.  He said "we will not bow down to mediocrity".  He wanted to change the culture.  He about killed the program.  Frank wasn't Tom Osborne but he was not a loser either.

My point is that this isn't a new thing.  ADs get greedy.  Lose site of what got them there.  In the case of Maryland the same is true.  They just canned a coach who got them out of mediocrity.  Sad.  I hope he gets another opportunity at a better school soon.

The AD at Maryland is new, Kay Yow's sister was the AD there and moved to NCSU this year, so I guess the new one is making his mark as you referenced does happen. That said, I think it's a bad perception for them but so many fans like Leach, if they hire him they might overlook it. I wonder how many of McNeill's staff will move from ECU to Maryland if Leach is hired - suspect a few will, particularly the OC. They were a very tight group at TT.

Son says Fridge's weakness was recruiting but most of the ACC schools face that same challenge, you just cannot land that SEC deep south talent in ACC football programs - but I guess some dream that they can.

Heard Leach again yesterday on his radio show and he still isn't talking about the MD job... I got the feeling he is negotiating still and maybe even looking at other options?  As Wreck said... with Leach "who knows".  He walks to his own drummer no doubt.
Didn't realize there was a new AD at MD... you are right... that explains it.

bean - thanks for the help shoveling, lord by nightfall on xmas we had a foot of snow but thankfully no ice storm. We lost power at around 2am and were without for a full day, gas fireplaces are a waste of space in when you truly need to get warm. Gratefully my brother and SIL gave us those upscale snuggies from Brookstone for xmas which was the only way we kept warm! Photos below.....

sharon - in comparison to PA, NJ, & NY our snow was minor, but we are covered with black ice on the streets and no warming trend and few snow tools, so hoping the temps climb back up soon.

I hope everyone had great holidays full of love & family.

I agree some of the bowl games aren't too interesting, although WVU's showing against NCSU surely didn't play well for Stewart. Geez, they had the worst 4th quarter when the wheels really came off. I confess I went to bed after that one and didn't watch anymore games.

Lots being said on ESPN about Wisconsin possibly being the best all-around college team, hope GO is smiling......

so is wreck break-dancing post the win by his team? congrats on the win  ::monkeywine2::

Fridge surely put an exclamation point on the new AD's firing of him, didn't he? He said he felt "belittled" by how all of this was handled and I agree with him.

NCAA is speaking out today regarding OSU and Auburn, I can't recall a public statement like this in a long time

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=5966515
It was a nice win for us --- our first 11 win season ever. We are all shocked that our WR Blackmon showboated across the goal line - it was so out of character for him. He says it was because there was only 8 seconds left in the half and he wanted to "kill the clock".
No comment on the NCAA "statement".

wreck, isn't Blackmon the #1 rated wr currently? I think a little celebrating wasn't so bad  ::MonkeyWink::

As for the NCAA article, I had an interesting conversation with son tonight over dinner. He's a pretty good cook now! Anyway, he said it was irregular for the OSU players to be allowed to play, in light of the punishments for similar violations on other teams this season. He also said that some coaches have related to him that there really wasn't an ounce of validation that Cam knew of any $$ discussions, and the only evidence that there were supposed discussions with his father, were he-said by 3rd parties outside of MSU's staff. When compared to Reggie Bush and his parent's $$$ for years - I think Cam Newton deserves the benefit of the doubt.

Son also raised a point I don't think many outside of the programs realize, it's nearly impossible for any player in any program to live off scholarship $$$, at least anywhere outside of a campus dorm. I know I provided at least $300 to 400/month to son beyond his scholarship every month and trust me, he had only the basics - no high living at all. We both agree that a stipend for living expenses (even a PC/laptop) should be a given, the NCAA needs to support that change.

How about Tebow putting some egg on some faces this week too? He's a real lesson in believing in yourself and staying true to who you are.

PDH we miss you -

Blackmon was phenomenal last night.  Will be hard to keep him for his sr year but I hope he stays.  And the QB too.  Wonderful game.  Only good one I've seen so far.

Our game will be delayed as the NC vs TN game is running late.  Heard the field is a total mess - very slippery.  Not good for a QB recovering from bum ankle and turf toe.  Dang.  Hope I can stay up this late. 

Happy New Year all.

We are sucking in our game.  Everything I read says that after this game our OC is GONE... hopefully as HC to Miami OH but I think even if he doesn't get the job he is gone..... this is ridiculous.  To have a D like we have and no O for 3 yrs is ridiculous.

None... I read about that yesterday... TMs dad created Cornfed in 2000 and approached us then.  The deal was done under Callahans regime and TMs dad has made $500 in royalty payments.  ::MonkeyHaHa::  Someone is just looking for a story.  They should try covering our offensive struggles instead.

Well damn, our OC did not get the HC job we were hoping for so it is time for Bo to fire him.  We'll see if Bo can be a CEO.  Last nights bowl game was the worst bowl performance I have ever seen. 

Kiwi ... that could be fun.  Thanks for the invite.  You think RR survives?  Seems like they are torn from what I have read.  These coaches with multi million dollar deals gotta live up to the hype.  That goes for ours as well.  There is heat.

Bean - sorry your OC didn't get the job, frustrating for sure.

I finally found time today to look for something PDH alluded to, have to say it's truly an interesting twist if Mullen's wife was who reported into the NCAA. My take - if Cam was such a bad kid, Mullen would have known this from his tenure at UF, yet MSU recruited him like no other. Just really interesting to read this.....just further clouds the issue.

IMHO "Camgate" is about a WHOLE lot more than Cam Newton.  It is about corruption and not just at Auburn.  I kept reading on different team's forums about this thread where there was a ton of research on the topic.  They said.. its long but worth the read.  So I checked it out about a month ago.  I still follow it occasionally.  They claim that the FBI stumbled on the pay for play situation as a result of a much bigger investigation into money laundering and fraud during the bank bailouts.  It involves a large donor and Board of Trustee member at Auburn.  He was the COB of a bank that failed.  If you feel like it, take a look.

wreck....just scroll on by.


I am not going to allow that garbage on tigerdroppings go unchallenged.

I have been reading occasionally but really hadn't felt like posting because after Cam Newton lynching in the media, and by certain factions in the SEC, my take on college football has changed drastically....and I wasn't naive to begin with, either. I have been posting on Auburn forums mostly, and stuck close to home during this roller coaster season.

What has been done to Auburn, and to the Newton family is beyond shameful. They are NOTHING like Reggie Bush and his family, and Auburn is nothing like USC.

However...I see that the tigerdroppings fantasy has made it's way here...::MonkeyMad:: ::MonkeyMad:: ::MonkeyMad:: ::MonkeyMad::
I feel the need to let you all know this....THERE IS NO BASIS IN FACT FOR THESE ACCUSATIONS. THIS IS A COMPLETELY MADE UP INTERNET FANTASY. IT WAS CREATED BY JEALOUS FANS OF BAMA AND LSU. THE FBI IS NOT...I REPEAT...IS NOT AND NEVER WAS INVESTIGATING AUBURN. THE PROBLEM WITH CAM'S RECRUITMENT AT MISSISSIPPI STATE WAS CAUSED BY A RUNNER NAMED KENNY ROGERS WHO IS EMPLOYED BY AN AGENT IN CHICAGO NAMED IAN GREENGROSS. THE FBI HAS GOTTEN INVOLVED IN A CASE INVOLVING THEM BUT IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH CAM NEWTON PER SE. IT HAS TO DO WITH KENNY ROGERS AND HIS ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES. THIS IS WHY CECIL NEWTON DID NOT WANT CAM AT MSU. HE DID NOT LIKE THE ATMOSPHERE..... THE FBI IS INVOLVED IN THE CASE OF VOTE-BUYING BY CASINO OWNERS WHO GAVE MONEY TO MEMBERS OF THE ALABAMA LEGISLATURE, BUT IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH AUBURN. THERE WAS NEVER ANY MONEY PROVIDED TO PLAYERS THROUGH GAMBLING CASINOS. AUBURN AND CAM NEWTON ARE NOT INVOLVED IN ANY WAY IN THAT INVESTIGATION EITHER.

I am completely sincere when I tell you that the Cam Newton case opened up a dark and ugly side to college football that I wish I had never seen. The jealousy of Bama and LSU fans has gotten to the point that it's almost criminal. That thread has gone on for almost a thousand pages of pure made up garbage. There is no truth to it, but those fans are so jealous of Auburn's success, and Cam's greatness at his position, and the fact that Auburn now has it's 3rd Heisman winner, and a chance at the BCS that they are obsessed with bringing Auburn down and making people hate Auburn.
 I am not kidding. I PERSONALLY met with another AU fan and we went undercover to listen in on a Red Elephant Club (Bama Boosters) meeting, and what I heard would curl your hair. It was like being in the presence of evil. I was shocked beyond belief. They met at a local restaurant. It was eye opening to say the least.
Auburn University has one of the strongest Compliance Departments in college football. They would NEVER allow Cam to play if he was ineligible. They would NOT allow the football program to be jeopardized. There have been literally HUNDREDS of investigative reporters on campus this fall trying to find dirt. None was found. Then they moved on to Cam Newton's family, and tried to find the money and the dirt there. They could find NOTHING. These people have even gone so far as to call Auburn professors at home asking about grades which is illegal....
The players at Ohio State RECEIVED MONEY..ie COMPENSATION...therefore they are in trouble. The Newton family NEVER RECEIVED A DIME. The infraction DID NOT OCCUR AT AUBURN. I WILL REPEAT...IT HAPPENED AT MISSISSIPPI STATE AND MSU'S BOOSTERS WERE INVOLVED. IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH AUBURN, SO THAT IS WHY CAM HAS ALWAYS BEEN ELIGIBLE TO PLAY AT AUBURN. HE WOULD NOT BE ELIGIBLE AT MSU.
Cam is a very nice young man who quietly does a lot of work with kids. He loves kids, and wants to own a daycare center one day. He is very close to his little brother Caylin. He is not some kind of shady character, and neither is his Dad. Cam goes to class, and actually leads a fairly quiet life on campus.
ESPN created most of the drama, and spread most of the lies about Cam and his family, and it was very good for their ratings. They made MILLIONS from spreading outright lies. It's like I've been saying all along...ESPN has ruined college ball. Joe Schad's "sources" lied, and he went on the air with unsubstantiated rumors just to get face time. Megan Mullen has a connection to Joe Schad......they used to work together.
Now Joe Schad is saying he didn't know he was lied to or not....right. He tried to sabotage Cam's Heisman. He tried to ruin a college kid he doesn't know anything about, and took no time to find out if what he was saying on TV was even true.
Cecil Newton made the mistake of HAVING A CONVERSATION with Kenny Rogers, and this whole thing came about because of that. HE DID NOT TAKE ANY MONEY, and sent Cam away from the MSU mess to the better atmosphere at AUBURN. Cam was given a fresh start, and a chance to excel, and the Bama fans are livid that it all worked out for him there. They have forum after forum filled with hate mongering posts about Auburn, and all kinds of lies. It's been absolutely unreal how bitter they have become over Auburn's success.
.
THERE HAS BEEN NO REAL RESEARCH beans. It's a bunch of partial facts and half truths spun together. The tigerdroppings thing is COMPLETELY A BIG LOAD OF CRAPOLA CREATED BY JEALOUS AND OBSESSED FANS OF OTHER SEC TEAMS BUT MOSTLY BAMA FANS.

If you want an UNBIASED opinion on what took place in the media then read Jack Arute's comments on the lynching of Cam and Auburn by the media. He tells it like it is.

Unless a person has been down here, and has actually seen and heard the things I have in the last 6 weeks...you would not even believe people would act this way about football.

I will also tell you that there were computers seized from the University of Alabama Athletic Dept. a few weeks ago. No one knows why yet.

The "booster" who owns a casino named in the fantasy thread has donated money to Troy University as well as Auburn. His dealings with the Alabama Legislature have nothing to do with Auburn or Troy or Cam Newton except in some bama fan's head. There has been NOTHING uncovered by the FBI with respect to football, but a bunch of legislators are going to jail for selling votes.

The Colonial Bank booster has nothing to do with Cam Newton either. His bank...Colonial Bank...WENT BANKRUPT LONG BEFORE CAM NEWTON. THE FEDS LOOKING AT COLONIAL BANK HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH AUBURN, AND IT HAPPENED A WHILE CAM WAS AT BLINN.
It was one of the first banks to fail in Alabama following the mortgage crisis. He hasn't had an active role in Auburn since he got burned in the JetGate deal with Tubby and Bobby Petrino....in 2003.
It makes me LIVID that people read that crap on tigerdroppings and have no idea it's all made up into some big conspiracy that never existed. Once again...the FBI has no investigations into Auburn athletics. They have an investigation into Kenny Rogers, Ian Greengross and some Alabama legislators selling votes to a casino owner to legalize gambling.
Does anyone think Auburn would be dumb enough to give athletes debit cards to use at a casino TO LAUNDER MONEY? Debit cards that leave a trail....and casinos that have video cameras and tons of witnesses?  If it wasn't so ugly and vile, it would be funny.
AUBURN'S ATHLETES DID NOT RECEIVE MONEY FROM CASINOS OR DEBIT CARDS FROM COLONIAL BANK. NEVER HAPPENED.

Some crazy old loser is sitting at a computer spinning a tale that is harmful to a lot of innocent people. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets into legal trouble for it. The Newtons are planning to sue some people. Auburn's lawyers have shut some people down. They may go after that guy too. The info from tigerdroppings has spread all over the internet, and has been taken as truth. It really is sickening.

Finally...Sports Illustrated spent weeks and weeks trying to substantiate all of the rumors surrounding Auburn and Cam Newton. They found NOT ONE SHRED OF EVIDENCE, and they tried very hard to find something. They admitted that they spent a lot of time and money.....but found no evidence on Cam or his family.


OK...I'm done.

It's not you nonesy.....it's those malicious losers on tigerdroppings spewing their lies and filth about some big conspiracy. It's completely ridiculous, but people actually believe it.

It just infuriates me. Bama fans have had a complete meltdown because they thought they'd get another Heisman and another trip to the BCS. They have tried sabotage Auburn at every turn, including what happened at Bryant-Denny during the Iron Bowl. They can't stand it that Auburn is so successful. This is their way of ruining the reputation of an outstanding university just because their team didn't have the season they wanted.
It's just sick to want a team to win to the extreme that they have taken it. Throw in Florida and MSU having fits because they screwed up their chances with Cam, and you have this mess online. It's being fueled by ego and jealousy, and obsession, and the media. Some of these people have their whole sense of identity invested in a football team. Throw in a few LSU fans and some Texas sore losers, and a few loonies on you-tube, and there you have it.

There is no one on this board who has been a better sport than me over the course of 5 years, and I always think of these kids who play the game first. The kids who play for Bama, FL, LSU or MSU are NOT the ones who are doing this. They can compete, and remain cordial and respectful for the most part. This kind of behavior by the fans does not help the players at all. It just makes things harder in the long run.

I never in all my life would have believed the things that I have seen and heard this season.  The behavior surrounding Cam has opened up something very ugly, and the next time it will be even worse.

Bless you SSR! Not all Bama fans are like that, certainly, and I did not mean to imply that at all. And they aren't the only ones behind it....just the main culprits.

Pdh- All 400+ arrived safety on one huge chartered jet! I have not heard anything on local TV that would make you mad. As far as I've seen, both teams are getting all the fan fare of a Superbowl game. They look pretty happy being here. Game time temp should be 72 deg and no possibility of rain or wind. Just part of playing under a dome. Day time temps are warming to the  70's and lows in the 40's. Our freeze warnings should be done for the rest of the winter.

My brother and nephew will be in Glendale for the game  ::MonkeyWink::
Very nice. Local radio stations are reporting that tickets are being sold for 3k to get into the dome and 5k for good seats between 30 to 30 yard line. If your brother is staying near the stadium the restaurants at West Gate are very good. The wait will be a little long. If there staying in Scottsdale I would have a long list of choices for them.

Most excellent news. My sources are saying that RR is out for Michigan  ::MonkeyDance:: I liked the offense for the most part but 112th total defense out 120 is pretty bad. We will see what happens next. Fingers crossed for the Stanford coach to come back home.

ESPN seems to be backtracking on that earlier report today........we'll see.

Son says it takes a full four years to recruit for RR's offense, it requires very specific personnel and he said it took RR a full four years to complete it and bring the wins at WVU. That said, son says that the defense is "experimental".........enough said.
Actually I would agree with your son. I wouldn't mind keeping RR and the offense, but the defense Standford put up would be very nice instead.

Hmm like I said 4 months ago the AD for Michigan should go. Has to be the worst negotiator of all time, following in the same footsteps as the previous AD. In the end hopefully we don't end up with a high school coach, or his next store neighbor.

Well where is Pdh? She is going to be soooooo happy to have another AU booster! As far as RR, I would have liked him to come out and make a change in the defensive coordinator. Take control of the situation and keep his job.

I am new to SM, relatively, but I have read what pdh wrote recently with respect to the Bama Fans and tigerdroppings.  I had read tigerdroppings, interestingly enough, before I read pdh's comments on it.  I have been around a long time, and I am of the opinion FWIW that Bama boosters are capable of what was indicated by that post.  JMO and I don't want to stir the pot.  I don't know all about coaching, and specific plays, just enjoy watching football.

It is wonderful to see another Auburn fan here.

none - interesting comments from Nascar. MI should hire him! He is so smart!!!

cuz - I was pulling so hard for Ryan Mallett and your team! I felt so bad for them. They almost pulled it off, and it was a great effort. I was still proud of them.


I guess the Big 10 had to get a win somewhere. It's been a rough bowl season for them. Congrats to OSU!

Oh wow - you are something else.  Yes, My son brought home a rescue dog a few years ago and he named him Cadillac - for Carnell.  I have to tell you this dog is much meaner than Cadillac though.  This dog is a challenge - but we love her.  I have another rescue dog from Morgantown too, compliments of my son. She is a sweetie - but they do get along.
It is so funny that you ask me if she is named after Carnell - NO ONE would ever ask that.

I agree, Stanford's defense would likely be more effective but then WVU's defense wasn't their strong suit even when RR was there - son played in several games against them. I still don't understand why Michigan wanted RR so badly if they didn't buy into his strategies. That said, son reminded me tonight that RR is being paid 2.4M to look for another job, could be far worse.

Found it ironic when watching that game when I realized that Andrew Luck's father is the AD at WVU - can't say I agree with his treatment of Bill Stewart either.

College football is not for the faint of heart.

I hope your brother already has his tickets in hand. There is a huge ticket scandal brewing. StubHub and other ticket brokers sold tickets they did not have, and some sellers have reneged on their original agreements and are now selling those already sold tickets for tens of thousands of dollars, and sending the original purchaser a refund. Lots of people who paid already, and thought they had tickets are being left out in the cold. There's discussion of a class action suit.... ::MonkeyEek::

Don't Like the BCS? Vote With a Remote

By David Steele
Writer/Columnist

t's not as if I hadn't seen "The Manchurian Candidate'' -- the original version, from 1962, with Frank Sinatra and an evil, pre-Murder She Wrote Angela Lansbury -- a few hundred times before. But it was on HBO again early Tuesday evening. And it was a whole lot better an option than the Sugar Bowl pregame show.

Once the movie went off, the search was on again, for my favorite holiday-season show, "Anything But a Bowl Game.'' Especially a BCS bowl game.

I can no longer justify feeding the monster, and then complaining when he tears the roof off my house and tries to eat me. Even though that's exactly what America does when it rails against the injustice of the college football system exemplified by the BCS, then can't tear itself away from the broadcasts.

So ... "Gladiator'' on TNT? Seen that almost as often as "Manchurian.''

"American Gangster'' on BET? Not the kind of movie to bother watching on basic cable. "The Hangover'' is on Cinemax -- but live sports is better. Spurs-Knicks on this channel, Capitals-Lightning on that one.

As long as it's not the Sugar Bowl.

Recent unscientific polls indicate that sentiment against the bowl system, the BCS and the way college football conducts itself this time of year, runs about a megabazillion-to-1. There is no end of complaints and tirades directed at the system in the papers, on websites, on TV and talk radio, on social media and chat rooms and message boards and buses and subways and barber shops and malls -- basically any place sports fans congregate.

Suggestions on how to tweak, alter, destroy or replace the system span the spectrum, all the way up to Congressional intervention. (Higher if you include then-President-elect Obama's public preference for a playoff.)

Yet the idea that gets the least mileage, it seems, is this: stop watching the games. And it's the only idea that can work. It's the only weapon the public has in its arsenal. Yet, as usual, it's the one that it never has used wisely, and there are no signs that it ever will.

Here's another chance, one that comes every year at this time. Time is winding down to throw that punch, with only one BCS game left after Tuesday, but ... don't watch the games.

As long as ratings, measurable interest and intangible buzz all remain high, the powers-that-be in college football will always be able to quantify their reasons for sticking with the system. There will never be a concern that there won't be a bidder the next time the TV contract comes up. There will never be a shortage of corporate backers for the naming rights, commercials and other sponsorship.

And there will never be a time when the BCS, the NCAA or the bowl poobahs can't say, "People still eat this stuff up. Why should we care how much hot air they blow about how they hate this? These here numbers tell us they'll full of it.''

If, however, you stay locked in on the annual Twilight Zone marathon, as I did this New Year's Day (including the one with the kid who terrorized his family and town and turned the belligerent party guest into a jack-in-the-box), the poobahs' BCS-or-bust argument gets a lot weaker.

OK, so you individually have taken the boycott oath, as I have. You've only wavered a few times, as I have (yes, I saw that insane Tyrod Taylor TD pass in the Orange Bowl, and I'm not sorry I did). Understandable, because it's an addiction, and it's hard to kick right away, even for a long time. This is a habit. Particularly a New Year's habit. The games themselves are still what you love, and they're hard to turn away from, even when the score gets to 52-14 or so.

You know your own heart. But the sport-as-business doesn't see your heart. It sees this:

• Eight of the top 10 rated shows on cable last week, through Sunday, and 13 of the top 25, were either bowl games or bowl-related programming, according to Nielsen. Two of the games were BCS games. Three of them involved .500 teams.

• In that same time span, when it carried 18 bowl games (one other was aired on family-member ABC, another on CBS), ESPN was No. 1 in cable prime-time average audience, average audience for adults 18-49 and total per-day average. In that latter category, it beat out perennial champ Nickelodeon, kicking the network of SpongeBob right in its Squarepants.

• Saturday's Rose Bowl was the most-watched college football game ever carried by ESPN, and Monday's Orange Bowl was the third-most watched.

• More than 182,000 people watched parts of games online on ESPN's site last week.

• The Fiesta Bowl, in which Connecticut got thrashed by Oklahoma, had a higher rating in Hartford, Conn., on Saturday night than did the school's women's basketball team's 89th straight win back on Dec. 21. More indicative: that same record-breaking game, carried by the same family of networks, had half the national rating of the Beef O'Brady's Bowl at the same time.

You really want a playoff? An end to the 35 bowl games and the 6-6 teams lining up to play in them? To the unbeaten teams being left out of the championship picture? To bowl chairmen sweet-talking schools and governing bodies into ignoring their own rules? To artificial importance pumped into glorified exhibition games? To the whole incestuous university/bowl committee/NCAA/network relationship that brought us this?

Don't watch the games.

Unless you do that, the aforementioned won't give half a damn what you spew at the local talk-show host or in the comments section. When the ratings tank, when a repeat of House of Payne outdraws the Meineke Car Care Bowl, when the suits say, "Wow, they really can't stand this setup,'' that's when they'll think about whether there is a better way.

Of course, they'll also say, "This is why we can't allow the players to make money off of any of this.'' But that's another column for another time.

So if you'll excuse me, I have to catch the end of my favorite show, "Anything But a Bowl Game.''

wreck I agree with you

I see no difference in selling a jersey on eBay and selling one in exchange for a tattoo! Bartering rings, jerseys, autographs for tattoos is still an exchange of $$$ of services.

cuz, I agree that the dropped passes were costly and could have won the game, but overall I felt your players played the tougher game.

Bean, I agree the wrong opponent was in that bowl game against LSU

Just saw this article on CNN of yet another opinion against the BCS system:

http://www.cnn.com/2011/OPINION/01/08/martin.college.football/index.html?hpt=T2

here is an excerpt:

There is no bias on my part against Auburn and Oregon, two fine football teams. But it is nonsense to suggest that this is the best way to crown a national champion. Not only is it undemocratic, but there also is no doubt that determining who should play for the national college football title based on a poll is un-American.

And that's exactly how the brains behind the BCS want to keep it.

Folks, this is nothing more than a cartel. This system is designed to keep out the upstarts
that are not in the major conferences. This supposedly fair system makes it clear that only automatic qualifiers get a shot at playing for the big money and the big trophy. SEC? Yep. Big 12? No doubt. Big East? Thanks a bunch. Big 10? Hello, baby! ACC? Yes, sir! Pac-10? Sweet.

Yet if you're from the "Little Sisters of the Poor" conferences -- those are the words of Ohio State University President Gordon Gee when he derided TCU and Boise State for even being considered for a national championship game -- you have to hope and pray the pollsters don't screw you. That means the Mountain West, Sun Belt, Conference USA, the Mid-American and Western Athletic conferences must rank in the top 12 of the BCS poll to get the automatic bid.

In the world of the BCS, this is fair and aboveboard.

Sorry, it stinks to high heaven.

Not only is it undemocratic, but there also is no doubt that determining who should play for the national college football title based on a poll is un-American.

And that's exactly how the brains behind the BCS want to keep it.

Folks, this is nothing more than a cartel. This system is designed to keep out the upstarts
that are not in the major conferences. This supposedly fair system makes it clear that only automatic qualifiers get a shot at playing for the big money and the big trophy. SEC? Yep. Big 12? No doubt. Big East? Thanks a bunch. Big 10? Hello, baby! ACC? Yes, sir! Pac-10? Sweet.

Yet if you're from the "Little Sisters of the Poor" conferences -- those are the words of Ohio State University President Gordon Gee when he derided TCU and Boise State for even being considered for a national championship game -- you have to hope and pray the pollsters don't screw you. That means the Mountain West, Sun Belt, Conference USA, the Mid-American and Western Athletic conferences must rank in the top 12 of the BCS poll to get the automatic bid.

In the world of the BCS, this is fair and aboveboard.

Sorry, it stinks to high heaven.

The proof is in the pudding. TCU absolutely showed they were AT LEAST deserving of a title shot as they were good enough to beat a fine Wisconsin team in the Rose bowl.

Any team can get up for one game, and beat another team. That's why strength of schedule is such an important part of the equation. It's the week in-week out battle against other good teams that determines how great a team really is. A bowl game is not really a good measure.
With that being said...I do support a play-off. Auburn was unfairly denied a chance to play for the championship in 2004, and the changes were made to make the BCS more fair as a result. But I still think a playoff could work.

WDE!

...and I'm not saying they are better than Auburn or Oregon ... just that as an undefeated team (that is apparently deserving of their ranking) ....they should have had a way to compete for the title. Give us the playoffs that everyone except the college Presidents and bowl committees want!

When TCU and Boise State start playing a schedule as tough as 13 games in the SEC...11 of those games without a bye week, then they will have a case. Right now they both have a very weak schedule week in and week out, year after year. They have to earn a place at the grownups table.

I agree with that 100%.  I don't think that TCU would be undefeated in the Big 12, Big 10, SEC or PAC 10 - I'm just saying that - we will never know (and that is not right!)

They are welcome to schedule better opponents at any time. TCU won't get that in The Big East. They just made it harder on their fans to support them due to the long distances.

 I can safely say that right now that Boise State could not last an 11 week schedule in the SEC, or TCU either.  I do know that. I'd bet on it. Neither team has that kind of talent or size. It's not realistic to even think they could compete on an elite level at this point. Even most SEC teams can't go undefeated, and they are loaded.

I'd love to see Boise man up and play Auburn,Texas,Oklahoma, Alabama or LSU...

Les Miles took the LSU job 2 days BEFORE Oklahoma State's Bowl game. He's a snake. (But he IS a Michigan grad and has a buyout negotiated with LSU if he is offered the Michigan job)

I just read a comment about that today... Someone was telling LSU fans not to believe him just because he told the team he was staying because he did the same thing at OSU and then bolted a couple days later.

Man this is a good game.  Duking it out.  Fantastic athletes on both sides of the ball and great coaching too.

Yes its true, Kiwi is in negotiations for the HC job at Michigan. I may look to SM to fill in the coaching vacancies. Bean that should keep your coach where he's at. So who should I use for the defensive coach and some of these spots?


Title: Re: FOOTBALL WITH FRIJOLE #3 8/14/10 -
Post by: Kiwi on January 11, 2011, 07:25:13 PM
Hmm Still think Kiwi is the best choice for HC. Unfortunately, the AD has picked another for Michigan's new coach. The AD has however renewed Kiwi's contract to run the Dawg House for another 3 years as I may never see another winning season during that time period. Inside info, the AD doesn't care if Denard stays or leaves. He's up for grabs for anyone that runs the spread.


Title: Re: FOOTBALL WITH FRIJOLE #3 8/14/10 -
Post by: Kiwi on January 11, 2011, 07:59:29 PM
The new Michigan coach is Brady Hoke from San Diego State. His record there was 13-12. He was coach of the year for the MAC and Mountain West. Up for grabs is Denard Robinson who will likely go to AU if someone declares or LSU.  I wonder if the AD will be there if attendance drops below 100,000 for the first time since the early 80's. Hmmm Kiwi for AD of Michigan.

I have been reading some real good things about Hoke from some of our fans that live in San Diego.  They said what he has done at SDSU with far less talent is unreal and in only two years.  Complete turnaround.  No nonsense guy that delivers.  They said they think he's better than Miles, Harbaugh AND Pelini. So don't get discouraged yet Kiwi.

We have to replace 6 starters on Defense again -- so it is still a crap shoot. I know we have recruited DB's heavy the last few years -- so hopefully we have some talent ready to step up.

Hi Kiwi, yes my brother and nephew had a great time, but they were only there overnight due to brother's work schedule. My godson was there for five days, he sent me a photo but I'm having trouble getting it over from my phone to my PC, or I would have posted it. He was most upset that they sold out of the commemorative cups before he got one !! He called me the day after and was literally hoarse but said it was such a great game. His father played basketball for Auburn back in the day and recently passed away, so I think he wanted to be there for his father's memory too.

So how did you let another coach displace you in the search endeavor?  ::MonkeyWink::

Feel better and stay off the ice and out of the snow.
Good news Denard Robinson has decided to stay at Michigan and continue his education.  In the long run mastering a pro style offense will only help him at draft time. Plus the real important thing is Kiwi may finally quit pulling out hair. Just not right to see a hairless Sheltie. ::MonkeyEek::

Cuz.. Ouch that sounds painful... take it easy and enjoy the time off while the rest of us work.  LOL

Kiwi... I see you guys hired a defensive coach from the NFL/Ravens.  Looks good... any thoughts?  I don't know the guy but he sure looks just like Monte Kiffin from his photo. ha.

Agreed about Denard and glad coaches are being more vocal openly about when players are truly ready to go to the big show.

No more pulling hair out of that lovely coat Kiwi ! Could be worse, son's discussions of late with programs are all about the mad rush to close out recruits and no one appears satisfied with where they are with that currently. Competition seems fierce and the coaching carousel does nothing to assist with that.

Well... with national signing day about a week away it's time to talk recruiting.  Everyone is cheering their group on and as usual.... some teams are extending more offers AND accepting them than they have open spots.

I think this is a travesty - not fair to the kid who gets left out due to what is in some cases - just plain dishonesty and greed.

Talk about pandora's box, this truly is. Just further proof positive that college football is BIG BUSINESS and not for the faint of heart. I will state this because I think son's experience gave him a better perspective on it all. He did not transfer because he was cut,  he didn't trust his new position coach that came with the HC coaching change. Son's instincts were correct and he made the best decision for him by transferring. This position coach tried to dissuade him as well as me, but I confirmed it was son's decision and that I respected it. What the NCAA could and should do since they refuse to properly govern college football, is to remove the penalty for transferring by losing a year of eligibility unless you transfer to a lower program such as from D-1 to D-2. It's like having non-compete or no-hire agreements in corporate america, when and if challenged in court they rarely hold up. Maybe the college players need to form a union, at least then they might be compensated fairly and have some leverage as a "commodity".

The flip side of this is what I call the lure of the SEC and bigger programs. As a parent I tried to dissuade my son from this, consistently asking him to look at smaller programs. Some of the smaller programs played some games during recruiting, more actually than the larger ones did. Honestly I don't know what the solution is or if there can be one, the competitive aspect of the sport and the sheer $$$ almost dictate that humanity and cultivating players simply isn't allowed any longer. Sad, very sad.

Ole Miss let Rader go, that makes me sad too but I can imagine Nutt is scrambling to get a verbal from anyone he can right now. More than a few programs are for HC's are not allowed time to develop teams anymore, they have to win or they are out.  ::MonkeyNoNo::

I just read this today - the Big Ten won't allow more than 3 extra offers.  This helps the problem but it hurts recruiting if not all regions are following the same rules... which takes us back to the NCAA... crooks that they are.  They have a billion + industry paying coaches escalating salaries and their cost of goods is FREE... poor players.

Alot of teams exercising their players hard this time of year... me thinks a little protein shake or something something along with the workout caused this.

The big news is that neither the AD nor the HC were at the press conference today... oh and no one from S&C either.  I read that one of the dad's was there and saved Iowa's ASS from a PR perspective.  Great time to go after their recruits.  ::MonkeyHaHa::

likely right about the protein shake except son still drinks them prior and post a workout? Should I worry?  ::MonkeyWink:: Iowa's season didn't help their recruiting, they sure didn't need this additional blow. What did the Dad say?

I suspect it's a dogfight to the finish in recruiting for some of these programs, plus the pursuit of coaches with the carousel still spinning!

While he is no Barry Sanders, he is about the same size (slightly larger) and kind of similar! He was still a great back, but got less attention in our explosive passing offense this lpast year!

Sending good mojo for your wish for a new OC Bean.

Here are the rankings, ESPN's and Rivals differ a wee bit but I think (for once) that ESPN is likely right.

FSU is #1
Bama is #2
Auburn is #3

One big surprise in the SEC was the loss of the top RB in the draft who all seemed a slam-dunk for Bama but at the last minute he chose UGA who does indeed need a good RB. Kid should play right away.

Can you say what coach your son met with? We are getting kind of antsy waiting on Gundy to name our new OC. I'm actually starting to really believe it might be Mike Leach. I'm still not sure if I like the idea, but it would be pretty awesome for a year if nothing else than to mentor a successor. The man is "certifiable", but one heck of an offensive mind and would bring continuity from Holgerson!

So everyone knows we are looking but Bo who isn't good with the press anyway has to tapdance for weeks... this is ugly.  We are hoping to get Scott Frost, former player who is at Oregon.  Hometown hero thing.  We shall see...

Hello Frijole & Monkey's,


I am a Steeler fan but I also admire the Packers.  ::MonkeyFootball::
I thought this article was great - because how some little gesture leads to something big.


 ::monkeyscissors::
In 1919, Curly Lambeau decided to start a football team in the small Wisconsin town of Green Bay. Akron, Canton, Dayton, Hammond and Muncie all had teams, so it wasn't a stretch for Lambeau to start a franchise in his hometown. He just needed some funding to get off the ground.

At the time, Lambeau was earning $250 per month as a shipping clerk at a local meatpacking company. He convinced his employer to put up $500 for jerseys and equipment and also got permission to use the company's athletic field for practice. With all that support from the packing company, it was a natural that the team call itself the Packers

It was Barr - can't say why they met except that it was due to review of some possible recruits. If you hire Leach as the OC you'll have to make sure the DC can mesh the defense with him, expect that would be the challenge beyond having the personnel capable of transitioning to a high-octane Leach offense.

None...the guy was a player for us and then one fantastic coach....took our secondary to new heights.  His bad decisions were off the field and I'm not going there.  Scandal was a bad word on my part.  No one wanted him to be gone.  He'll get a chance again and hopefully will learn. 

Meanwhile they are restructuring on both sides.  Since there are no openings yet (contract dates) Bo is saying there are no openings/firings etc.  They are calling him "Bonocchio".   ::MonkeyHaHa::

Hello Frijole & Monkey's,


I am a Steeler fan but I also admire the Packers.  ::MonkeyFootball::
I thought this article was great - because how some little gesture leads to something big.


 ::monkeyscissors::
In 1919, Curly Lambeau decided to start a football team in the small Wisconsin town of Green Bay. Akron, Canton, Dayton, Hammond and Muncie all had teams, so it wasn't a stretch for Lambeau to start a franchise in his hometown. He just needed some funding to get off the ground.

At the time, Lambeau was earning $250 per month as a shipping clerk at a local meatpacking company. He convinced his employer to put up $500 for jerseys and equipment and also got permission to use the company's athletic field for practice. With all that support from the packing company, it was a natural that the team call itself the Packers

great story, I miss how a good idea, work ethic, and dedication used to be enough to launch a great business in our country. Sadly it's no longer the case very often.

Yes, a good idea still works.  I believe imagination is not taught. The Europeans believe in imagination for making money.
This is why so many Europeans are so successful, my opinion, it is good imagination and a good work ethic.

I noticed that wreck, good job ! Son spent a day with one of your coaches reviewing possible recruits and he said OSU had a good plan in place. Now the hard part is waiting 3 years to see how this class pans out.
Can you say what coach your son met with? We are getting kind of antsy waiting on Gundy to name our new OC. I'm actually starting to really believe it might be Mike Leach. I'm still not sure if I like the idea, but it would be pretty awesome for a year if nothing else than to mentor a successor. The man is "certifiable", but one heck of an offensive mind and would bring continuity from Holgerson!

It was Barr - can't say why they met except that it was due to review of some possible recruits. If you hire Leach as the OC you'll have to make sure the DC can mesh the defense with him, expect that would be the challenge beyond having the personnel capable of transitioning to a high-octane Leach offense.
We are already running Leach's high-octane offense! Dana Holgerson (our last OC) was Leach's man at Texas Tech.

Well, I know I am biased but like I said all along --- Dez was NEVER accused of breaking a NCAA rule -- only that he LIED to the NCAA. He was drummed completely out of college football. If he went to to Texas, USC, Alabama , or Ohio State -- it would never have happened. I will stand by that by that all day long. Urban is right!

Reading the emails on this link is really enlightening. I guess what surprises me most is how the players sell their championship rings even before they graduate.

Sure appears Tressel's job was never at risk over this either.

Well the players have to sit out five games next year but were allowed to play in the bowl game which was BS.  Anyway... the players get 5 games and the coach 2?  What message does that send?  I think this thing is boiling and will blow up.  You just wait.  Even people from Ohio are pissed at Tressel.

Wreck your a credit to OSU, you defended Dez on the NCAA issue and made a fine argument that penalties are not fairly given out to all universities. As far as Dez, its possible that big money may have won in the end.  I was watching a Fab 5 production that just came out. The end of the production lightly touched on Chris Weber and the money from a booster. Very similar amount of money and based on future pro contracts.  Unfortunately, they are still kids, financially broke and future millionaires. The worst thing about it is, they ultimately mess up their school and fans.

All so true kiwi, but it's odd too. I had a conversation with a college classmate this week, he is a rabid college basketball fan but he asked some questions about son too - then brought up how 'crazy' some of the players act? Went on and on about how their scholarship is a 'gift' and I carefully explained to him how those scholarships are their only payment for their "full time job" and their ratio of earnings to what the university programs earn from the game are far from equitable. Those players who are high draft prospects are also preyed upon by those with much bad advice too, just look at Dez for example. How can we expect kids who often grew up in financially stressed and even poverty conditions, to understand how to manage their money either when we know their 'advisors' likely don't give a flip about it either?

I saw this tonight too, I worry everyday about the headaches son has and he wasn't a lineman but did pride himself on being able to go up after balls and take the hits across the middle. Anyway, this is a very sad commentary on the ultimate price that some NFL players pay.........so tragic.

Ex-Falcons lineman had brain disease linked to concussions
By Stephanie Smith, CNN Medical Producer

Editor's Note: Dr. Sanjay Gupta gets a candid look at the mental deterioration of a former NFL player and the toll that chronic traumatic encephalopathy can take on a family on "Sanjay Gupta, M.D." at 7:30 a.m. ET Saturday and Sunday.

(CNN) -- Former NFL lineman Shane Dronett's transformation from an affable prankster, quick to flash a wry smile, to a person who was often frightened -- and frightening -- was subtle at first.

It began in 2006, with a bad dream.

"He woke up in the middle of the night and started screaming and told everyone to run out of the house," said Chris Dronett, Shane Dronett's wife. "He thought that someone was blowing up our house. It was very frightening."

Chris tried to dismiss the incident as isolated, except that two weeks later, there was another outburst, then another, until they were an almost-nightly occurrence. And as Shane's fear and paranoia began overwhelming him, so did episodes of confusion and rage that sometimes turned violent.

Only three years after retiring from the NFL in 2006, Shane was suffering. The tragic culmination of his pain came when he committed suicide in 2009 at 38. (read more at link above)

None wow that's not too encouraging for kids and young adults that play contact sports requiring helmets. I've made the transition to a helmet while skiing. Trying to get teens to wear them is tough at least in AZ. At least the trend is to wear protective gear. Can't even imagine football without them. What would your son suggest for changes in improving protection for those playing football.

Bean -- I can't imagine what he and his family went through, plus the stigma of so many not understanding the physical impacts he endured in the NFL, that many must have labeled him as "crazy". I can't remember his name but the other former NFL player that recently shot himself in the chest while also asking his brain be examined, was also found in the post mortem to have the same condition. What a price to pay.

Kiwi -- I don't think son has any answers, he has permanent dents in his forehead from his helmet but he unlike other players, insisted his helmet fit as tight as possible to guard against injury. I did notice and have since discussed with him, one occasion when he took what I call a sandwich hit from both sides in his last homecoming game. It was compounded by one of the two sandwiching him yanking his helmet halfway off and son dropped a good distance to the ground. He didn't lose the ball but when he stood up to run to the sideline I could tell something was wrong. A teammate 'ushered' him by the arm and sure enough, son was completely dazed by the impact. He also did not tell a soul or complain. I think another part of the problem is that as players, so many feel if they complain they will either be considered as 'soft' or lose playing time/opportunity.

I think it will take a major cultural shift for anything significant to happen to protect college or NFL players, but with winning all that seems to matter - I suspect it's unlikely much will change.

I noted this week that now Alabama is being accused of a top recruit/signee's family taking pay-out's from boosters. I didn't post it because I don't want to be part of this endless debate for the report I read was so bizarre that I just cannot believe it's true.

All I could think was here we go again..............

None- That was Dave Duerson. The violence is a very sad reality of the game. They should look into the possibility of maybe playing every other week to let players recuperate from the head on collisions that they just dealt with. Don't know if that is plausible, or even more beneficial, but certainly worth looking at; However, I don't think the BIG money will let it happen. God Bless Dave Duerson and his family. ::MonkeyAngel::

Duerson was born and raised in Muncie, Ind., where he was a standout in football, baseball and basketball. He earned a degree in economics from Notre Dame.

It was a great day at spring practice for my Dawgs. We may be losing Jake Locker and Mason Foster whom you'll start to hear more about,He's a fantastic linebacker and anyone's hometown team that happens to draft him will get a quality player as well as person. I think the team we'll be very cohesive this year even with the losses of some of our senior leadership. We have Keith Price and Nick Montana battling for the starting quarterback position and it looks like Keith Price currently holds a slight lead having been in the program a year longer. It was great to see Joe Montana at practice as well. The boy in me wanted to go up and shake his hand and talk with him, but the adult in me said to be respectful as he's their to watch and support his son. I think our defense will be pretty good this year suprising a lot of people. A name you may hear more about as the football season progresses is Alameda Ta'amu. A very big defemsive lineman who should go very high in next years draft if he has a decent to good year. He's a Nick Fairly type, but with a better attitude :-) Sorry to the War Eagle fans. I figured I hadn't posted in awhile, so just a little update. Go Dawgs.. ::MonkeyCool::

Spring practice Frijole. Our spring game is at the end of the month. Coach Sark has open practices, but no cell phones or cameras allowed. Last year he did mention that if people continued to break down all the aspects of practice he may have to close them, so everyone got on their p's and q's. Yes, we have some not so smart fans who where giving play by plays of the days events at practice. Coach Sark plays a lot loud music which the players like, simulates crowd noise, and then we can't really hear what's going on. As a fan you can stand right on the sideline while they are scrimmaging and doing individual drills which is really fun because you can really get to know how the coaches interact with players. I'm starting to keep my eye out for airline tickets as I will be coming down to Lincoln, and look forward to having a great time as the Corhusker fans are very knowledgable, as well as cordial.

Cool...

If I can make it to that game I will let you know and maybe we can meet somewhere for libations.  Regardless I can email you where to go to eat, drink and be merry.  Closest hotel is the Embassy Suite downtown... you can walk to the stadium.  Book early. 

Trust me - our team will be more motivated than the last time we played... lord what a mess.  Should be fun!  You will be greeted with open arms in Lincoln.

I'm starting to keep my eye out for airline tickets as I will be coming down to Lincoln, and look forward to having a great time as the Corhusker fans are very knowledgable, as well as cordial.

Cool... KTF keep me posted if you get airline tickets.  Do you have game tickets?  Get them from Washington if you can so you can be in the purple section.  LOL  Hard to get tickets here but not impossible.... scalpers... If I can make it to that game I will let you know and maybe we can meet somewhere for libations.  Regardless I can email you where to go to eat, drink and be merry.  Closest hotel is the Embassy Suite downtown... you can walk to the stadium.  Book early. 

Trust me - our team will be more motivated than the last time we played... lord what a mess.  Should be fun!  You will be greeted with open arms in Lincoln. 

I will definitely be coming down Frijole. I'm a season ticket holder and they will mail out the away game applications here in a week or two. Down at the Holiday Bowl we stayed at the hotel that was taking care of the Husker Alumni association I believe, so I was surrounded by Red. I can't say enough great things about the Husker fans and how they represent the University of Nebraska as a whole. Nebraska should definitely be commended. I was taking a hot tub when a gentleman  and his wife proceeded to join myself and a couple of other Husky fans. He was obviously a BIG booster, who I believe owns some type of medi-vac company that has  contracts with the University, so he had some great inside info. He said Taylor has a lot of growing up to do, and being the quarterback, needs to quit being so aloof from his teammates as he should be the leader and bringing players together. Instead of being isolated on the sidelines he needs to be more interactive with his teamates. Ready for some good times down in lincoln. I'll tell you one thing. Our freshman tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins, who had offers from everyone in the country, is going to be a load for any team. He's looked phenomenal in spring practice. He's about 6'7 265 and has speed to boot. It'll be interesting having two really good tight ends this year to keep those linebackers honest on the defense... ::MonkeyCool::

None- That was Dave Duerson. The violence is a very sad reality of the game. They should look into the possibility of maybe playing every other week to let players recuperate from the head on collisions that they just dealt with. Don't know if that is plausible, or even more beneficial, but certainly worth looking at; However, I don't think the BIG money will let it happen. God Bless Dave Duerson and his family. ::MonkeyAngel::

Duerson was born and raised in Muncie, Ind., where he was a standout in football, baseball and basketball. He earned a degree in economics from Notre Dame.
Emery Moorehead, a tight end on the '85 team, said: "He was a man's man. Smoked cigars. Just a personable guy. ... He had a lot of people that loved him everywhere."





Thanks KTF, everything I read about him at the time of his death detailed what a good guy he was. It's just so tragic to imagine how he planned his death to the degree that he shot himself in his chest to preserve his brain for diagnostics. That was a gift to all who come after him in the NFL.........God bless his soul.

KTF... cool.  Hope we can meet up for the game.  That would be fun.  And the insider was spot on re Taylor M.  Bo loves him though.  HE's a wuss.  I bet Bo starts him this year despite what I'm hearing from people AT the practices who say he is clearly the 3rd best QB.  He is the biggest risk to break one loose when his foot is healed but it isn't.  He quit speaking to our OC/QB coach last season.  Yes the man was fired and should have been but still... Remember Tommie Frazier?  Well his nephew is in the running at QB - red shirt frosh.  His name is Brion Carnes.  Said to be spectacular but learning the plays now.  Keep an eye out for him.

I head to Lincoln tomorrow.  We lucked out.. western half of the state is getting up to a FOOT OF SNOW?!!!  We are getting rain but it should be upper 60s on Saturday and sunny so I will take that.  Our spring games are like a regular game to us - we will tailgate then go to the game and then out for dinner/drinks afterwards.  Cannot wait.

I really hope that Washington and Nebraska will keep the rivalry going as we've had great games against each other for quite some time. Except for the ass -wuppin that the Huskers handed us this past fall; However, I think to continue to keep each other on the schedule would be fantastic as we're starting to get better every year, so the victory from either side ould help our strengthf schedule. The situation with Taylor could become a sticky situation as it can really have a negative affect on the team. I would hope for the fans sake that Bo realizes this and will make the proper choice for the team. I defintely look forward to coming to Lincoln and will expect some Frijole hospitality when down there. Enjoy the spring game and please give me a break down on everything from the offense, defense, and special teams, so I can talk with Coach Sark and Holt about the information... ::MonkeyTongue::

Checking in.  Had a blast.  Smaller crowd this year at 67k but a good showing.  Bo kept his promise to keep it vanilla and not disclose our new offense.  They ran a little option, some I formation, some pistol, some zone read.  Fullback scored twice - first time since 1990s I think. ha.  Best QB in my opinion is Tommie Frazier's relative, Brion Carnes.  Guy I told you about.  Looked the part.  Suh was there, there were some flyovers, awards, Miss USA/Nebraska... something for everyone.  ::MonkeyHaHa::

I heard an interesting take on today's NFL running backs. Even the elite backs are only playing about 35 of the average 65 plays on Offense -- many teams are not willing to shell out the big bucks for a player with less playing time (no matter the impact). 5 years ago -- that wasn't the case. Even Ingram slipped pretty far!

We see that with the AZ Cardinals, having picked Beanie Wells. His play time and impact is very limited.

It's going be interesting for the Cardinals this year Kiwi. If the two guys they have don't develop, or they don't get a quality QB in a trade, Arizona could be in some serious trouble. I wonder if they'll try and go after Carson Palmer. A lot of teams would like to have him.

Just looking at the way there drafting, I hope your right that they are going after Palmer. Otherwise, were positioning the team for next years number one draft pic and QB.

Hey Wreck. I would think that a few teams from the Big12 have got to be a bit disappointed after seeing the contract that the Pac12 got, and to top it off there may be more money coming. What are your thoughts? Go talk to T Boone about working to get OkSt, OU, and two other to be determined teams to join forces with the Pac12. If Larry Scott can get us into the Pacific Rim market(China,Japan, S.Korea, Australia), the Pac12 Conference is going to have BIG TIME $$$.  ::MonkeyCool::



Pac-12 may be looking at another $1 billion

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. -- The Pac-12's financial momentum isn't about to slow.

 Commissioner Larry Scott said Tuesday that the league's media arm could earn the conference an additional $1 billion over a seven-to-10 period. The previously announced Pac-12 Media Enterprises is a kind of holding company, according to Scott, that would bundle the league's new network, the digital rights and the conference's sponsorship and licensing (Pac-12 Properties).

 The expanded conference is just beginning to realize its total worth as it seeks to start its own network. The $1 billion would be separate from the 12-year, $3 billion rights fees deal the Pac -12 finalized with ESPN and Fox earlier this month.

 "I can tell you this, based on offers people have made to us we've got at least a billion-dollar business we're sitting on," Scott told CBSSports.com. "That's just Pac-12 Media Enterprises."

 He later added:  "That is a broad figure that has been thrown out to us by media investors. That's a potential minimum value over a seven-to-10 year period."

 Dividing $1 billion among 12 schools could mean an additional $83 million is gross revenue total per school. Depending the on length of the deal, that means Pac-12 Media Enterprises alone could produce an additional $8.3 million-$11.9 million per year for each school. The schools already are guaranteed an average of $21 million per school in the ESPN-Fox deal. Stanford AD Bob Bowlsby seemed to confirm another pending windfall for the conference telling CBSSports.com that the network and digital rights "may be worth well into eight figures per year." He added, "Time will tell on that. We may know something in the next 90 days."

 Scott called Pac-12 Media Enterprises a "for-profit subsidiary of the conference."

 "I'm not running from it," he added, "but I don't want to leave the impression that our primary focus is financial."

with a partner. But Scott said several business models are still on the table.

 "I'm not running from it," he added, "but I don't want to leave the impression that our primary focus is financial."

 Scott, as well as industry insiders, is anxious to see the possibilities of the conference's network. The commissioner consulted with -- and gives a lot of credit to -- his peers at the Big Ten and SEC (Jim Delany and Mike Slive) who previously started similar ventures. All parties know the road to network profitability can be a long, hard slog. It took the Big Ten more than two years to realize a profit with its network. That was relatively fast for a start-up but no one knew in the beginning when that profit would come.

 The Pac-12 is seemingly better positioned because Scott negotiated rights to first-tier games in football and basketball for his network. In other words, the Pac-12 Network (or whatever it is called) will have first choice of the best games for its air.

 That situation will help with potential partners, distributors and advertisers. Scott said the league is still deciding how to deploy the network. First reports were that the Pac-12 would own it alone. That approach would maximize profits instead of having to share them with a partner. But Scott said several business models are still on the table.

We'd be more than happy to have you Wreck. Start throwing your weight around!


Frijole- If Bubba Starling goes pro, the Huskers are looking bit thin at QB. I hear the OC is looking to run Martinez more? I didn't like it when Jake Locker had to run more. All running the QB more can do is increase the chance of injury and wear them down over the course of the year. If you don't have a physically, and mentally tough QB that can play through it, it could make for a long year. Especially being in the Big10.

How are you None? The Ohio University should have never hired him from Youngstown St. They knew they were getting a coach that would continue on with the tradition that already existed in Columbus. CHEATING. That's just my opinion, but it has been going on for quite some time, and the charade is over. Gene Smith and Gordon Gee should also be FIRED. I would have a bit more respect for the fanbase if they were calling for peoples heads, but from reading many Buckeye forums, it seems that violations are the norm in Columbus. Just my opinion. ::MonkeyCool:: Here's hoping that the NCAA doesn't stop there. The NCAA needs to clean out the garage and let the whole neigborhood know that they mean business.  ::MonkeyShovel::

CHEATING. That's just my opinion, but it has been going on for quite some time, and the charade is over. Gene Smith and Gordon Gee should also be FIRED. I would have a bit more respect for the fanbase if they were calling for peoples heads, but from reading many Buckeye forums, it seems that violations are the norm in Columbus. Just my opinion. ::MonkeyCool:: Here's hoping that the NCAA doesn't stop there. The NCAA needs to clean out the garage and let the whole neigborhood know that they mean business.  ::MonkeyShovel::

Hi KTF, I'm doing okay, how are you? Thanks for asking.......

I really knew nothing of Tressel prior to his arrival but I am pretty shocked by how wide and how deep the violations have expanded under scrutiny. If I were an OSU fan or alum I'd be calling for more heads to roll too!

It's ironic to read all about the auto dealers involved in this, certainly far larger now than trading memorabilia and bowl rings for tattoos isn't it? My first husband and I were GM dealers and we provided an auto for one of the asst coaches at an SEC program for 15 years, but never had contact with players. We also paid the going rate (and contribution requirement annually) for our four club seats, in addition to providing the auto which only gave you an credit in the media guide as a sponsor. My how things have changed????

It really is a disgrace what has happened and it's also apparent that the NCAA isn't doing an effective job of governance anymore. I just do not believe it's this hard to follow the rumors and ferret out the offenders.............it has to be a conscious decision on the part of the NCAA to only pursue the most flagrant violations that go public now.

Where is college football going to end up? So sad........

We'd be more than happy to have you Wreck. Start throwing your weight around!


Frijole- If Bubba Starling goes pro, the Huskers are looking bit thin at QB. I hear the OC is looking to run Martinez more? I didn't like it when Jake Locker had to run more. All running the QB more can do is increase the chance of injury and wear them down over the course of the year. If you don't have a physically, and mentally tough QB that can play through it, it could make for a long year. Especially being in the Big10.

We had a log jam a few weeks ago.  ha.  A great kid from TX who had recouped from TWO torn ACLs tore his shoulder labrum and he is now gone - going to help as a trainer or whatever.  Cody Green leaving surprised me because he really really was a leader despite never starting and the fans just love him (more than Taylor Martinez) but the system we are switching to doesn't fit his strengths is what I am hearing. 

The fans all agree with you on running Martinez - we feel he is an injury waiting to happen... or if he has a bad play he fakes one.  ::MonkeyDevil::  Anyway, they are designing the offense around his strengths.  But I guarantee you by 5th game into the season Tommie Frazier's nephew or cousin or whatever he is will be starting and tear things up. 

Would love to get Bubba and will take that one day at a time but hard to pass up that money.  We have another QB that is so dang talented (Jamal Turner) that we moved him to WR for THIS year.  He tore up the spring game.  Just a stud.  So he is there as well.

It just means we will be recruiting QB hard for this coming year. 

KTF I'm impressed with your knowledge of our team!

You can fly into Lincoln.  If you fly into Omaha (perhaps cheaper air and better connections) you will have a 1 to 1 1/2 hr drive to Lincoln.  I would get there early enough so you don't have to drive from Omaha on Saturday as the Interstate is a traffic jam. :)  Lots of must dos.  Mistys for prime rib (or steak) on Friday night - the band and cheer squads come and play/cheer.  Herbie Husker shows up and its just old fashioned fun.  

Think I told you closest hotel is Embassy Suites.  Right by the stadium and they have a beer garden that is packed.  Live band etc for tailgating right there.  I am going to go to one of the websites and find their complete list of things to do because it's quite thorough.

As bad as the situation is with OSU, UNC's infractions are actually worse by the NCAA rulebook. All of the details went public this week and if they don't fire Butch Davis then I think the program becomes a public joke.

I forgot to address Butch Davis!! He was a HS coach in Oklahoma, was hired by Jimmy Johnson when he coached at Oklahoma State (when I was there). He then went with Jimmy to Miami and on to the Dallas Cowboys. He is a good coach -- but learned his ethics in all the wrong places! (yes, Jimmy got us on probation too!)

Football with Frijole ... US Woman's World Cup Style.

I am not a big soccer fan until the World Cup comes around. What a phenomenal win today by the Ladies US Team. Down a player on a red card and tied due to a BS call by the ref after the US goalie made a stop of a penalty kick and then later down a goal late in the game when all seemed lost ... The US Ladies pulled off a miracle tie in the waning moments of the game and then won the game on penalty kicks 5-3 to defeat Brazil in the Quarter finals.

Hi all I've been stuck reading in the trial area. But I'm back now! I watched that soccer game from start to finish. Pretty intense ending. After the game some of the sports channels were placing the game in the top 10 in sports. Playing one player down for about 45 minutes due to the red card is like playing 4 on 5 in hockey for half the game not just 2 minutes. Then to come back in overtime with only a few seconds left, sheer will. Until those 2 goals, Brazil had not given up a goal in that tournament. Even if your not a fan of the sport it was the one to watch.

Bean I finally did it. Purchased 4 tickets to the Michigan - Nebraska's first game. Just need plane tickets, hotel and car! We don't play until November 19th but I thought I'd get a head start on it. Unfortunately, the game was already sold out, all 110,000+ seats. Had to go to the after market. Could have gone to Maui for less, hmmmm. Overall not bad seats on the 30. Of course I asked my Nebraska buddy before purchasing on the Michigan side. Hopefully, we won't need security with one red dot showing on a sea of maze and blue.

I think lots of folks are pulling for the Huskers this season, hope it's a good one for you bean.

Son drove 16 hours to one job this week, not the job he most wanted but the one he found after nearly 6 months of interviews for a grad assistant position with a D-1 program. We joked before he left that as exasperated he was with the waiting game for the other one, that likely they would call with an offer once he was in another role. Well it's exactly how it happened, he was onsite for the other job exactly 6 hours & got the call to head back south for the GA position. So he drives 20 hours straight, hops out of the car midday on Thursday and is quickly put to work with practice.

So wish his new team luck, they are currently dead last in offensive rankings in their conference so lots of improvement needs to happen and quickly.

I have to admit that when he called me to tell me that call had finally come, it did feel good to get to say to my son "how does it feel to have your dreams come true?" God bless him, he's always chosen the toughest of paths.

Yeah... we've thought of that.  First off I doubt it happens but if it did we have a couple of things in our favor.  First off, the law of averages we will beat them.  Second off, Beebee doesn't own those refs.   ::MonkeyDevil:: ::MonkeyDevil:: ::MonkeyDevil:: ::MonkeyDevil::

Man, I'm reading on our boards that the TexasA&M to the SEC is a done deal to be announced aug 22nd when their regents meet.  Lots of football gossip to read huh?  this will really shake things up.  Keep me posted on where you think you'll head.  Insanity!!!

Bean and Wreck is there a new re-alignment? If I'm following this right UT would be its own conference with no other teams to play. Maybe Notre Dame will form a conference with them.
None- That was great news for son. Is he moving there or renting?
Bean- We have a lot of monkeys missing this year. We'll keep the lights on and the doors open.

I am totally confuzzled at this point, I guess I need to go read up on this new alignment but kinda glad I don't have a dog in this hunt.

Bean, I'll send you an email later tonight with an update.

Kiwi, son is actually living in a university apartment so he's renting. He calls me at midnight which is when his workday with two-a-days ends - no days off until after the season ends so it's a 7 day a week job plus soon he will have classes at night too. He sounds tired but happy.  ::MonkeyWink::

I'm on OKC this weekend -- getting the OU/OSU take on A&M and the fallout. Word here is that it is not a "done deal". 30-40% chance that the SEC will not vote A&M in. Missouri is strongly denying they are talking to the SEC. It is said they had HUGE egg on their face from shooting their mouth off about joining the Big Ten last year and are not going to tip their hand. IF Missouri should leave, the Big 12 would disband -- otherwise they would ask 1 new team to join and stay at 10 members.

I'm in Phoenix but our cable company offers a few sports packages from all the college conferences and the NFL. I would recommend calling your cable company and tell them what teams your looking for. Usually, their not expensive around 10.00 per month for the Big Ten Network as an example. What NFL team are you trying to view?

http://www.timewarnercable.com/northeast/site.faqs/DigitalCab/Programmin/Sports/NFL/Does-Time-Warner-Cable-carry-a

Question:
Does Time Warner Cable carry an NFL sports package?
Answer:

Unfortunately, not at this time, here’s the story…

The issue: The NFL is waging a campaign to try mandate Time Warner Cable to carry the NFL Network and force our customers to pay for expensive sports programming that they may not want.

Time Warner Cable’s position: We have offered to carry the NFL Network on a Sports Pass. Customers choosing to subscribe to the Sports Pass would have access to this programming at their choice. Customers choosing not to subscribe to the Sports Pass would not have to pay for this expensive programming.

The NFL’s response: The NFL, however, is still insisting that the network be placed on a broad-based tier, which would result higher costs for customers who are not interested in NFLN. By refusing our offer, the NFL is denying the public access to games that were once available on broadcast or other more widely distributed networks.

Time Warner’s last proposal: To put the interests of fans first, Time Warner Cable submitted a new proposal to carry the NFL Network on a Sports Pass or premium basis. This time, we proposed to make the NFLN games available to our customers on a per-game basis, at a retail price set by the NFL, with 100% of the revenue collected for this programming going to the NFL. While offering this with no mark-up is far from ideal from our point of view, we are willing to take this step to make sure no interested customer was unable to watch these games.

The NFL has rejected this offer too.

NFLN appeals to only a small segment of our customers and it is highly priced. We continue to believe that the most appropriate place for NFLN is on a Sports Pass. When the NFL is willing to compromise, we will resume negotiations.

klaasend- I bow to the source. Living in the Phoenix area and following the Cardinals, makes NFL viewing easier. I suppose if I wanted to follow the Lions that would be a lot harder than I imagined. Thank you for digging deeper into what I assumed would be a simple answer.


Title: Re: FOOTBALL WITH FRIJOLE #3 8/14/10 -
Post by: wreck on August 16, 2011, 05:48:31 PM
It is actually more difficult than this. We are talking about 2 completely different things -- The NFL Network and "NFL Sunday Ticket".

The "NFL Network" is a station that has programming about the NFL on a 24 hour basis. They have shows like a "Sports Center" and replay some old "classic games". At the half way point of the season, they show one game a week of an actual NFL game. In most markets, this one game a week is usually made available to the local teams involved to show on a local "over-the-air station."

The "NFL Sunday Ticket" is ONLY available on Satellite "Direct TV". They show EVERY NFL game each weekend that is broadcast by either FOX or CBS. You can watch ANY game in ANY market. They are offering this free currently to new subscribers to Direct TV. I think it normally runs about $300. for the whole season. A secondary new service (available on most cable providers and Dish Network) is called "NFL RED ZONE". This station follows all NFL games , but only when a team is about to score.

Texas A&M wants to leave Big 12
August 31, 2011

Texas A&M is done messing with Texas.

Texas A&M has notified the Big 12 that it plans to apply for membership to a new conference, and if accepted, it will end its membership with the Big 12 on June 30, 2012.

The announcement comes after conversations between Texas A&M president R. Bowen Loftin and SEC commissioner Mike Slive that began on July 21, the day after a meeting of the Texas A&M board of regents.

"I have determined it is in the best interest of Texas A&M to make application to join another athletic conference," Loftin, who was authorized by regents to act on behalf of the university regarding conference affiliation on Aug. 15, wrote in a letter to Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe on Wednesday.

Texas A&M previously asked the Big 12 to provide an outline of requirements to leave the league and the Big 12 responded earlier this week.

UO and OSU are sticking together -- no matter what. The two Presidents and the Legislature are all in agreement. While we don't have the football stature of Oklahoma, we DO have 50 National Championships in all sports (4th most in the country). We are well respected in football, and we have great facilities. We just don't have a National following like they do. Everyone will say we are "tagging along" -- so be it.

what's up with all the cakewalk season openers for top teams? Makes for some boring football! Can't say I've really enjoyed much football today. Son's new team was manhandled too but played an SEC team so no surprise, just painful.

Michigan had an odd game ended a few minutes into the 3rd due to a second lightning delay. Too bad we were on the 10 about to score. Defense looked a lot better. Shouldn't be 110th this year. Denard looks a lot safer in the pro style offense plus the NFL should like that he will need less conversion to that type of play. Game stopped at 34 to 10, against Western Michigan.

Kiwi... I think I heard your D actually scored 2 TDs today.  That is much improved!  Congrats.

We won and after a rocky start took control of the game... we have a long way to go.

None - cupcakes make a TON of money that helps fund their programs by coming into big games so while they might get beat up - there is a gain.  lol.  Ironically the one thing I noticed today is that a very large number of cupcakes upset or played very close today... it was downright scary looking at the scoreboards.  If my memory was better I'd post them all but... it was a real strange day.. lots of slow starts. 

Going watch more of the Ducks vs LSU game... a good one so far.  Both teams playing like they've played 10 games this season.  Fun to watch.  Les Miles is soooo bizarre and entertaining.  I love the Ducks offense.

KTF - win
Klaas - sorry.... but the team looked like they'll have a good season once the errors are cleaned up.  Tough tough first game.  We would have lost if we'd have played either one of those teams.

Bean, I know the cupcakes make $$$$ but I think the risks of injury and even fan perception is so high now, that I'm not sure programs really benefit over the long haul. For example, App State's game against Va Tech was such a blister with quite a few injuries to ASU's starters PLUS when they are trying to upgrade to a better conference a loss like that cannot possibly help in that effort.

The UGA game and loss will probably cost Richt confidence in his capabilities at a very critical time too. Just have to wonder what they are thinking........

I bet Spurrier was madder than a wet hen to have to play Garcia last night and without Garcia I seriously doubt they would have won, period.

I agree that many games were closer than usual, I just think it's a bit ridiculous to see some big names or top 25 teams dancing over wins against the cupcakes. Alabama is one example........pretty silly to be so excited about trouncing Kent State?

I think the Notre Dame game's stands were completely deserted due to the storms & delay, but it was a big moment for Holtz to have won that one since ND was his #1 choice for his next HC position and they didn't choose him.



Title: Re: FOOTBALL WITH FRIJOLE #3 8/14/10 -
Post by: Frijole on September 04, 2011, 07:26:47 PM
A spade a spade.... some schools schedule all cupcakes for preseason so they can guarantee wins.  Some try to have at least one quality game in the preseason as it helps the team and coaches gauge where they are.  I read that Florida hasn't played a preseason game outside of the state of FL in decades. And they aren't playing Miami or FSU.  lol  I know that the coach of Chatanooga (our opponent this week) was concerned about his QBs safety and changed the whole scheme so he'd get passes off quicker and reduce the risk of getting hit.  So I see your point.  I still think those planning the schedules are more concerned about money than safety so it will continue... not saying it is right...

That was a HUGE win for Skip H's team.  Doesn't matter how they got the W - Notre Dame lost the game.  That was something with the weather huh?  The fans got a workout.  Pretty sure it was mostly Florida fans at the very end though.  I missed the last part of the game because it was shown on a network I don't get. 

No doubt Richt is on the hot seat.  The problem is that they schedule the games at least 4 yrs in advance.  At that time they wouldn't have known.  When we canned our AD and brought back Tom O he set out to add some quality games preseason.  They don't start til next year I believe.  He added Miami.  Who would have thought they would be so down?  Its just hard... and with all of the conference switches it's really becoming a nightmare to manage schedules.

Wish I could have said Western Michigan was a cup cake game for us. Actually, they are expected to win the Mid American division. They had something like 3500 yds passing last year. Early in the game it could have gone either way. But coming back from the second lightning delay would not have helped them much in the big picture. I believe ND is up next for Michigan.
So where is PDH? Auburn dodged the bullet!

Post by: nonesuche on September 06, 2011, 05:47:21 PM
oh Kiwi I wasn't referencing your game as a cupcake, but rather others like Bama's and VTech's are the ones that come to mind that I was able to watch in our area.

I think it was really a big moment for Skip Holtz to win over ND, I really don't think the weather played a big part for a rain delay impacts both teams equally in terms of keeping momentum. Since he was able to exploit the weaknesses of ND, I feel sure your coaches are reviewing that game pretty closely to help with their strategy.

I know son actually returned to the football offices to distill game tape half the night less than 2 hours post their blistering loss and it was a punishing one. He was in such a bad mood! Hoping they have a better game this week plus it's not an out-of-conference against an SEC team like last week.

Live from Kiwi's Dawg House, ASU beat Missouri in OT 30-37. Missouri came back from a two touchdown deficit the fourth quarter to tie the game 30-30. With 20 seconds remaining the Tigers missed a 49yd field goal, second of the night. The game ended while all of our SM family were asleep. Kiwi was the last one out so I turned out the lights. Were set for the next round of games to start!!!! ::MonkeyDance::

Kiwi... first time EVAH a night game at the Big Blue House tonight vs Notre Dame.  Course our game is on at the same time... Wishing you the best.

I hit two boys soccer games this a.m. so have some chores to do so I can enjoy tonights game.  We play Fresno St.  12 of their players were involved in some scandal with government funds (food stamps?) ... I think they'll play them all as it was just uncovered yesterday.

We struggled the first half real bad... awful...but the youngsters fought thru it and you could see them fighting hard, learning and pulling it together.  I will take 2-0.  Hats off to the QB at Fresno State... Kid is unbelievable.  He will join his bro in the pros when he graduates in 3 yrs. :)

Cuz - good to see you posting, I hope I didn't offend you regarding the cupcake games. My comment was directed at the top five teams but guess it doesn't matter now - details.

Bean - well you had Meyers on ESPN evangelizing how your Huskers will surely win the conference this season - I saw part of your game and important mid-game adjustments were made which in my humble opinion, is often the toughest part of football.

Congrats wreck, no fan likes winning more than you do  ::MonkeyHaHa:: seriously I hope it is a great season for you.

Kiwi, thank you for keeping the house open, I think I may need a permanent seat this season. Son's alma mater nearly picked of a big one yesterday, if not for 4 drops by wr's, they likely would have won. As for the team he's coaching with, I didn't think this week could be worse than last week, but it was. Same scenario as UGA in that the fans are calling for the HC to be fired.

Boy, I sure miss the good ole days when son was playing..........!

Wreck. I hope Oklahoma & Okie St. are being proactive and not letting Texas call the shots. They hold NO leverage at this point. The Pac12 could add both Oklahoma schools and go after two other schools if Texas thinks they're going to strong arm the Pac12. If you guys come to the Pac12, Texas will have NO power over the conference as there are too many teams that will look at the best interest of the conference, and tell Texas where to go if they want to attempt to play their BIG boy Texas games with up to 15 powerful Universities. Their reign as conference tyrants is OVER!!!!! Here's to maybe spending some time with Wreck in stillwater, as well as Seattle if the stars align.

Our only misgivings about leaving Texas behind is how it would affect our recruiting base in Texas. I would still like to bring Texas Tech along (though, I really despise them), but it WOULD give us a stronger TV package and ensure I get our games in Dallas!!

I would think we would schedule non-conference games with TCU, North Texas State, Houston, SMU, et al to keep our presence strong. Currently, Texas A&M plays Arkansas each year at "Jerry World" in Dallas. It is rumored we could replace A&M and play Arkansas there each year!

It is 2:17 am  our game is only 3 minutes into the 3rd quarter!!!  ::MonkeyShocked:: (rain delay)

Up 38-6 -- about to score again!  ::CowboySmiley::

I was wondering if your game was over yet!  What time did it end?  I can't believe they started that late... and that you were able to watch it on TV!  What channel broadcasted at that hour?  Assume you won?

Sharon - no need for shame... you weren't the one providing gifts to recruits were you?   ::MonkeyWink:: ::MonkeyHaHa::  I feel bad for the new coach walking into such a mess.. glad he stuck it out though! 

The game was on our  FOX Sports - Southwest and it ended around 4:30am (we won 59-33) ---- it was still raining!!  ::MonkeyShocked:: ::MonkeyShocked:: ::MonkeyNoNo:: ::MonkeyNoNo::

I saw that the game had started while flipping through chanals. I can't believe they couldn't have played the game a few hours later Sunday morning.
Sharon thanks for the company and the offer. Still beating the other OSU was worth my viewing time. I do agree its not your fault.

Well not too many here at the Dawg House for a Saturday. We see that OkSt got going in the second half and beat Tex A&M congrads to Wreck.
Bean your game was just starting.
Denard ran well to day with an even 200yrds. Passing is still a work in progress. Changing him to a pro style QB will help him in the NFL, but his passing stats are going down compared to last year. Defense for Michigan is another year off but improving compared to last year. Bean hopefully we can improve enough to make the game with Nebraska look good. Personally we shouldn't be ranked. There are plenty of teams I've watch play so far that are way better with 1 or 2 losses.

Kiwi,missed your game but heard Shoelace ran wild :)  Well we are soooooooooo far from being a good team it isn't funny.  All kinds of freshmen playing and it shows.  Next week has me beyond scared and I will be there.  Gulp.  My mom told me to be sure to have fun during the day before the game. hahaha  She was serious. 

Did get to see alot of the OK State game.  Scary for a while there but they pulled it off.  And A&M can be a tough place to play.  Weird place no doubt. ha ha ha 

Cuz only watched a bit of your game.  Sorry.  Bama looks legit.

Yes, it was a crazy game for OSU!! So, we are up 30 to 27 -- 4th down at the A&M 39 yard line and only 5 seconds left in the game. We just take the snap (shotgun) and dance around and make a bee-line to the endzone for a safety. Final score 30-29. WTF!?!?!

I didn't get to watch any of the later games.. I read that LSU looked fantastic and a contender.  How did the west coast teams do?  I did read that Lane Kiffin was shaking in his pants during his game.

kiwi - one of my son's best friend's father is the OC for ASU, the win against USC was huge for them - imperfect but a win nonetheless.

I was away for a west coast interview from mid-week and flying back on Saturday so I missed all of the games. Son's new team had another demoralizing loss..........reasons why are becoming obvious so anticipating there will be some mid-season leadership changes *heavy sigh* - gratefully son isn't high enough in the pecking order to be responsible at this point in his career. His alma mater had a nail-biter win after a bye week, hopefully they will work out their kinks for they have recently applied to move up to a better conference.

So I guess until some changes occur I can be the weekly resident in the Dawg House  ::MonkeyHaHa::

I am packed and ready.  I leave for Madison WI in the early morning.  My bro from FL is flying in and we will have tomorrow afternoon, FRI and SAT to partake in the craziness I hear is Wisconsin football.  We WILL be attending GAME DAY Sat. a.m. but don't look for me in the front row since you have to get there at 3 am.  ha 

First game in the Big 10.  Still feels strange to me.  I watched OK State last weekend and cheered them on... old habits die hard.  Anyway.. really looking forward to this historical event and certainly know the game won't be easy for us.  But on any given Saturday in the fall....  ::MonkeyDance::

Hope every one else's teams do great this weekend.  None, tell the son to hang in there... he's young and he will do well I am sure. 

GO BIG RED!

Bean - have a wonderful trip and I hope you and GO's team have an epic match-up. I'll be watching  ::MonkeyCheer4::

Son called last night and seems to have found his sense of humor, it seems his least fave coach/co-worker asked him to go jump off a third string player's car yesterday when son was very busy executing updates to playbooks for distribution to the players. Son kinda lost it and told this person that in all of his experience playing for two college teams, that never once did a coach even give him a ride nor did he expect them to do this, much less drive across campus to jump off their car. End result - son won that battle for the moment  ::MonkeyHaHa:: I think son has the right idea, if you push players to be responsible and grown-up's, then maybe they will get the message that having a schollie is like a job with expectations attached?  ::MonkeyWink::

I'm flying out to the happiest place on earth on Sunday to start my new job  ::MonkeyCool:: God is good.

wreck too funny  ::MonkeyHaHa:: son said it was an old rusted corvette so at least he wouldn't have to drop his tall self too far for the leap  ::MonkeyHaHa:: Needless to say, son isn't driving a new fine car either - but when he was just 16 he was driving my GMC Jimmy home from basketball camp in the heat of the day. I had the tires replaced that week, son didn't know this, but as he made the turn out of the parking lot one of the tires slipped completely off the rim. Not son's fault at all, obviously the tire shop's but son did not call me - he grabbed some teammates and they tried to fix it on their own for hours. It was so hot that the jack started sinking into the asphalt pavement, so finally he called me sooooo apologetic saying he was so sorry that maybe he took the turn too fast but that he would find a way to pay for it by mowing neighbor's lawns or babysitting.

It was one of those moments in life I was grateful that I have good kids !

Enjoy the bye week and I hope PDH and Cuz drop by soon.

Made it out of Mad Town alive.  That was sure ugly.  I had deja vu of last year and a sick feeling in my stomach ever since.  We have Tommy Frazier's cousin who is supposed to be a good player (4 star recruit) sitting on the sidelines... so frustrating.

Got free tickets to this weekend's game against OSU.  I'm taking my niece who is a 5th grader - her first game.  She is so excited.  Plan on showing her a good time.

Sorry I was away for the weekend. Thanks for running the Dawg House last Saturday. Bean I'd have to say Michigan at 6-0 looks better on paper than actually watching them. There are teams with one loss that when you watch them they look better than the Wolverines right now. Except for the extreme amount of penalties ASU looks better as an example. With time the new offense will gel and work. Unfortunately, the play book has been thrown out by the 3rd quarter and the team just lets Dennard run free. On the flip side the defense is way better than the previous few years, up to now.

cuz - son is very close to you, I'll have to email or call you one night soon. Work is so demanding it's impossible to even get a phone call in lately, but it's a great project with cutting edge technology plus my boss is someone I've known and been dear friends with for nearly a decade. Doesn't get much better than that but I am flying in and out weekly........the one down side for now. So glad to hear you are still loving your new job !!  ::MonkeySlide::

I just haven't had time to check all of the games today, worked from home then fled to run a few errands, then dinner with friends and family. Hopefully I'll catch up soon........

son's team lost so off to the dawg house for me, but at least they got a few more points on the board for a change.......

I've been watching some of OSU's games this year definitely at a different level than Neb and Mich, were also cheering you on.
Hey Bean good luck against MSU they've been very lucky at home. Some of the things in our game against them should have been an ejection. Like being the late 4th guy on the QB, grabbing the face mask while the player is on the ground and giving it a twist. Hmm only a 15 yard penalty. I'm surprised that Robinson walked away from it.

Kiwi - thanks.. will take some luck since we have lost two of our starting DL in the last two weeks.  Gulp.  Yeah I watched the videos of that facemask episode on Denard.  Thank God he wasn't hurt.  Someone did that to Eric Crouch one year while he was still running and upright and the refs never called it either.  Check it out here... it is sick.

http://www.flixya.com/photo/6688/Ouch-facemask

We can only hope that the suspension and media attention given helps prevent that from happening to Martinez.  We know they plan on trying to injure him.  I'd prefer to win straight up but heh that's just me.  Glad this one is at home but wish it wasn't at 11 am.  I'll be drinking the vino EARLY!! 

So... who is everyone playing this week???

Hopefully that style of play, overly ramped up for the rivalry.  MSU takes it pretty serious. You shouldn't have that problem of after the play is over penalties. You will take care of business this weekend. I'll be routing for Neb until our game.

Long day - temperature when I left my house was 27!  Sun came out and by end of game it was 60 and a beautiful fall day (we normally just have summer and winter so this is a treat) :)  So proud of our guys - young team learning a bit each game. 

I was so tired I couldn't even stay up for the WI/OSU or USC/STND games last night.  Looks like lots of upsets yesterday.

Cuz - yeah the LSU vs Bama game will be fun to watch.  They are playing at a whole different level.  And it looks like Oklahoma St is also.  Congrats Wreck.  One game at a time.

Kiwi - thanks for keeping the lights on in the dawg house for we surely needed someplace to lick our wounds - yes another big big loss.........we need a cry emoticon !

High point was I did have 45 minutes with son the night before and ran him out for a steak dinner at outback - he's down to 210 pounds due to work  ::MonkeyShocked:: I sat with the parents in the stands - always interesting...........then got a few more hugs before they headed out for the airport after the game.

Son said that tickets (scalped/resales) for the LSU vs Bama game are already going for 2K and up. I hope Spooky has some tickets, might turn a pretty dollar for her.

Back to work.........hope everyone is well despite the winter snow storms !

Good to hear your feeding him well at least once in awhile. Your welcome to enjoy Nebraska and Michigan's success we won't mind. Actually, if both teams combined that could be a NC team. For now we are just happy to see the improvement.
How about LSU, Bama and OS....... without mentioning the last one? All three are definitely playing well.

I'll be watching the epic game tonight for sure, up early working on new revisions to project plans so I will have time to watch! I wish I could keep up with all the SM teams progress this season but fear I've hardly had time to bathe and sleep........

This scandal @ PSU is going to knock the socks off the Ohio State, USC, et al embrolios (sp?) the last few  years ----------- not even close. I agree with Frijole!! What makes this so reprehensible is that the school, Joe Pa etc. did not just sweep this under the rug, they did NOT put an end to it!! They allowed at least 6 more young boys to be violated by this cretin.
May they all rot in hell -- the death penalty for Penn State is too good for them.

Read some interesting stuff yesterday... Victim count was up to 28 last night and will grow.  Rumored that 4 to 6 current coaches will be implicated.  Joe was asked to resign and he has refused.  The Board is split.  Some wanted all coaches fired and games forfeited for rest of season.  Others are saying let Joe coach against Nebraska and resign immediately AFTER the game (it is Senior day) then fire remaining coaches after season.

There was rioting on the campus last night.  NU fans with tickets are frightened.  They were just awful in 02.  My Dad who coached his whole life said he had never seen anything like their fans and almost got into a fight with them!  He said he'd never go back.  I can't imagine what the atmosphere will be like this weekend.  It will be a dangerous circus.

God bless the innocent kids that have been injured by all this selfishness.

Before I went to bed, I had seen there were two phone numbers set up for victims to be able to call in and report, with the number of victims doubled from the initial count from 8 to17. And now I see in your post it's up to 28 and will grow.   ::MonkeyNoNo::  I haven't read the news headlines from this morning, but it's sounding bad.  Rioting on campus?   ::MonkeyNoNo::  I think some need to take a step back and get things into perspective.  JMHO

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP)—Penn State trustees fired football coach Joe Paterno and university president Graham Spanier (SPAN<-yer) amid the growing furor over how the school handled sex abuse allegations against an assistant coach.

I have never been AFRAID of a football game.  In 2002 Penn State fans threw broken bottles on our cheerleaders, urine balloons on our fans and my 64 yr old father had to be restrained from retaliating against punks that were pushing innocent Nebraska fans down steps.  And we lost the game for crying out loud!  I cannot imagine what will happen this weekend.  If you know anything about our fanbase - we wear our colors.  They call us the Sea of Red.  Fans are actually talking about being afraid to wear red on Saturday.  I'm not sure this game is safe.

Well...................................... it is really appalling that so many fans in Pennsylvania are known for such behavior. Eagles fans are notoriously known for "booing" Santa Claus at their NFL game and are famous for throwing batteries packed in snowballs at games as well. These stories are very commonly known in the Pro sports circles for just about ALL of their sport teams' fans.

Kiwi - looks like we will be meeting in the dog house Saturday early, shaking hands and then head to battle.  Should be an interesting game as our teams have a lot in ''common''.  Good luck and here's to an injury free game.

Well were on the 40yd line 36th row Michigan side. My Neb friend says he's not wearing red but I may bring a few Neb caps. We will see how things go before I pull them out. Bean here's the keys you'll have to open without me. Both teams are 8-2 and are very capable of looking pretty bad next Saturday. I'm just happy to be at the first game.

Wreck...

Thanks to Iowa St, Baylor, USC & NC State … The BCS is a Mess … OK St, Oregon, Oklahoma & Clemson Lose … THE SEC REINS SUPREME, LSU, ALABAMA & ARKANSAS should be 1,2,3

http://scaredmonkeys.com/2011/11/20/thanks-to-iowa-st-baylor-usc-nc-state-the-bcs-is-a-mess-ok-st-oregon-oklahoma-clemson-lose-the-sec-reins-supreme-lsu-alabama-arkansas-should-be-123/

The end result and what the BCS standing are projected to look like tonight with only a couple of BCS rankings left before the bowl games … there will be 3 SEC teams in the #1, #2 and #3 BCS rankings.

That is correct, every honest NCAA football fan knows that the SEC conference is the toughest one in football. This can explain why the SEC has won the last five BCS Championship games. Now comes the following unbelievable set of circumstances. Tonight the BCS ranking will most likely look as follows. Please note this is my educated projection, not the actual. However, there is little that could be different. How amazing and unheard of is it that this late in the BCS rankings that not only will one conference have the top 3 teams in the BCS, all of the teams come from the same SEC WEST division of the same conference.

1.LSU: 11-0
2.Alabama: 10-1
3.Arkansas: 10-1

It's been a strange year in CFB - only LSU (knock on wood so far) has consistently won.  Look at the Heisman race - same thing - no true leader this far into the season. 

SEC will be 1, 2 and 3 in the polls I am sure.  They earned it too.  What is interesting however is that the winner of the division could actually not play in the NCG.  Hard to believe but it could happen.  The next few years will be interesting... headed over to read your link now.  Good to see you Red.  Happy Turkey Day.

Maye you have a Happy Thanksgiving to you as well ...

yes, the NCAA college football season has been bizarre to say the least. No real stand out teams except LSU. When presented with a game where they could have lost focus, they destroyed Ole Miss yesterday.

Added to all of the upset losses this week was Stanford's near loss to Cal.

Think about it, had Boise State just played like they normally do and make one kick, they might be #3 right now. Although, they represent an anomaly as well. TCU won the Mountain West yet it is BSU that will go to a BCS bowl.

I can't really see LSU losing to anyone at home. So I see them going to the SEC Championship game in the GA Dome against the Bulldogs. I can't imagine them losing that game either. So i see LSU in the BSC game. As for the other, I can only see Alabama. Who else can really be there, VA Tech if they win out?

I really am a firm believer that a team should have to have won their conference, either season, or championship game.

What a mess ... WE NEED A PLAYOFF SYSTEM.

Bean you were right that had to be the largest out of state group of fans for a Michigan game. It probably didn't hurt that there were 114,700 the second largest for the stadium. Also, the Neb fans were great before and after the game and participated in the activities. My friend had a great time except for the score. Will put a few pictures up later today.

OK here are my thoughts on the BCS champ game.  I think Okie State should go.  Period.  They beat the dog crap out of Oklahoma.  Yeah they lost to Iowa State but have you seen them play lately - ISU is legit this year AND they lost on the day they had two coaches die in a plane crash.  Bama already played LSU.  Let OSU play LSU.

Regardless of how it turns out - congrats Wreck.

Had to laugh because I figured the Big 10 game would be the most boring but it was actually the only nail biter of the Championship games yesterday.  What an awful way to lose - hitting the kicker.  The call was right... but man I feel bad for that special teams player. 

So now we wait for the bowl selection committees ... I hate the way they select - $ and politics.

Maaco Bowl -ASU - Boise St.

It will be a good game I bet.  It's a team we loved to hate - mostly because of their fans.  ::MonkeyHaHa::  Anyway.... we respect their coach and if he doesn't take home coach of the year for how he turned that program around (again) it would be a shame.  He does more with average players than you can imagine.  They are disciplined.  Few penalties, mistakes.  He will spend 20 hrs a day (he's beyond a workaholic) studying film and he will have a solid game plan.  Doesn't mean he'll win but I'm telling you his team will play hard and smart.  Without a doubt your team is more talented.  So long as they don't make mistakes and the game plan is solid you should win.  My 2 cents :)

A Note on Tim Tebow and #TEBOWING … This Isn’t the First Time We Have Seen This, Remember Notre Dame’s Rocket Ismail … Praising God Should Always be En Vogue

http://scaredmonkeys.com/2011/12/18/a-note-on-tim-tebow-and-tebowing-this-isnt-the-first-time-we-have-seen-this-remember-notre-dames-rocket-ismail-praising-god/

Quote
That being said, what Tim Tebow is doing and what he brings to the NFL is refreshing. The fact that there are haters to Tebow is a bit disconcerting. What is there really not to like about Tim Tebow? From all accounts he appears to be a good Christan kid, humble, has his priorities correct and has a faith in himself and in his God. Seriosuly, what could be wrong with that? Isn’t this what the NFL has been looking for … a clutch player that makes headlines on the field, not in the police blotter.

The fact of the matter is that Tim Tebow has great faith in himself and faith in his God. Win or lose, Tebow praises God. I often wonder why people have bad things to say about this, this actions or his faith. Of course the MSM including the ESPN’s of the world are blowing this all out of proportion. Tim Tebow has great faith in himself and his Awesome God. For those that would have a problem with such qualities need to maybe figure out what is lacking in their lives. When I look at Tebow, I think of the movie “Facing the Giant” and the message for it. The struggling coach asks, “what is the purpose of this football team”. A player responds, “winning football games”.  Coach Grant then says, “winning football games is just too small a thing to live for. [...] we need to give God our best in every area. And if we win, we praise him and if we lose we praise him”.

I was looking forward to this game as well until OK St loss to Iowa St. You can't lose to an unranked team that you were favored to beat by 2+ TD's and expect to play for a BCS National Championship. Not when Bama loss to the #1 team in the country.

Just the way it is.

What is sad is the "BS" BCS rules for teams because all it does is reward the big conferences even if they have pathetic teams. The Sugar Bowl is a joke this year ... it should have been Arkansas vs. Boisie St or K St. That would have been a much better game than Michigan - VA Tech. Sorry, but you don't get blown out by 30 points in your ACC Championship game and get rewarded with a BCS Bowl. Heck, the Wolverines lose to Mich St and some how get rewarded with a BCS Bowl.

Except for the BCS Championship game, the rest of the BCS Bowls are a popularity contest.

How can anyone defend the fact that the #6, 7, 8, 9 and 12 teams in the BCS did not make a BCS Bowl, yet the #11, 13, 15, and 23 did.

Well, it is what it is -- OK State was still far and away the # 2 ranked team by the computers that did all the math of schedule strength, win margins, etc, etc. etc. The coaches voted only in their own best interest -- whether it helped them or their conference. Why should LSU have to beat Alabama twice???? -JMO  ::CowboySmiley::

Wreck- Yes I would rather see Okla St play LSU. Even if Alabama beats LSU they still split the season. However, wouldn't mind buying tickets to the Fiesta Bowl to see Okla St play.

I was looking forward to this game as well until OK St loss to Iowa St. You can't lose to an unranked team that you were favored to beat by 2+ TD's and expect to play for a BCS National Championship. Not when Bama loss to the #1 team in the country.

Like ya said, it is what it is. I must admit, I would have had a hard time voting OK St. #2 had I a vote. No way you can lose to an unranked team and play for all the marbles. JMO.

Would it have been any more fair had Oregon not lost to UCS? LSU would have had to play them twice as well.

Here is am interesting premise. What would have happened if LSU let Georgia beat the by close margin in SEC Champ? It was thought that LSU was going to the BCS Championship game, win or lose. Had Georgia won, they would have gone to the Sugar Bowl as the SEC Champs. That would have meant that Bama would have been out of all BCS bowls.

That would have been the only way that the Cowboys would have gone.

Granted, I wanted to see the great SEC defense vs. the vaunted Big 12, 10, how ever many teams they have now offense. However, ya can't lose to Iowa St and complain.

I'm crying over spilled milk!!  ::MonkeyCool:: Riddle me this ---- what if Boise State's only loss was to LSU? Should they have have earned the right to play them again for the National Championship in a re-match? Boise had an inferior schedule. I submit to you that Oklahoma State had a superior schedule to Alabama. The computers will tell you so -- not even close.
Yes, the Iowa State loss wasn't good (in Ames and in overtime on a botched extra point). Iowa State  was a bowl team this year -- and I really hate to use this as a crutch, but this was a very odd Friday night game -- the same day as our women's basketball coach was tragically killed in plane wreck. No one ever said life is fair -- but the BCS certainly is not even remotely fair.

Hmmm I would agree the BCS is a bunch of BS. Being on the positive side of this years bowl games with Michigan going to the Sugar Bowl is definitely a BCS mess. Playing VT is reasonable, just not a BCS match up. Having suffered with the last few years of Michigan in the Dawg House it is nice to see them doing better this year. However, we are not a top 10 team this year. I would rather see Okla St and others play in a playoff that leads to the NC game. The system we now use doesn't give us a clear national champion due to the politics of the vote.

Hi all... sorry I missed all the posts :)  I gotta stick up for the Big 12 here... Don't laugh but Iowa State is for real.  Paul Rhoads has got them working on all cylinders.  I watched that game in total shock.  Like Wreck said  - two things happened - ISU was really good.  OSU was flat and I attribute that to their coaches that died in the plane crash.  But yes - they lost fair and square... That said... so did Bama.

I agree that OSU had a much tougher schedule than Bama.  Look at the coaches poll and how they voted and you will see why it wasn't possible for OSU to be at the dance.  So we are stuck with another repeat NCG.  Yawn.  I would have LOVED to have seen what the Mad Hatter would do against Gundy and vice versa.  That game would be fun.

Oh well... good luck to everyone in their bowl games and have a fantastic holiday!!!

Boise State shows in their Bowl game that the BCS are futher a bunch of fools.

No way that BSU did not belong in a BCS Bowl especially when they were the #7 team in the BCS standings and had a graduating QB that was 50-3. The three losses by a combined 5 points.  It is obvious that the BCS was only put in place to make $'s for the power conferences.

How does anyone justify #11 VA Tech and #13 Michigan playing in the Sugar Bowl and not Boise St?

Sadly, the BCS is just afraid of being humiliated by the nonautomotive qualifiers beating up on the big boys like Boise, TCU and Utah St have done in the past.

Hi Kiwi!

That was an awesome game if you like offense!  It was very entertaining as the lead exchanged so many times I lost count.  I stayed up past my bedtime to watch it. lol.  Baylor pulled out the W but it could have gone either way.  I was impressed with the way that both teams really fought hard and refused to quit.  And the QB from Washington, Price is a total stud.  He had better stats than RG3 did.  Kid is a sophmore too.  He is one to watch.

I am waiting for the OK vs IA game to come on.  Need to get a bowl schedule together so I can plan my chores around the games :) 

Happy New Year Monkey friends.  Peace on Earth.

Bean, not bi-coastal yet but will be in two weeks. New job is a executive role so no complaints here. I'll miss family and friends but I'll be back on the east coast in 4 to 6 months once the acquisitions on the west coast and assimilated and in the fold.

I watched part of your game and yes Bo was emotional but I guess I didn't watch enough for I didn't notice a direct correlation with the team's performance and his emotions.

College football is just harder now, the SEC really has taken a hold over the top of the heap and it makes the pressure all the greater on other conferences for big wins. I know of one HC that is so concerned over the Big East's new org that he's been trying to bolt to another conference - then there is the coaching carousel that just seems to spin faster and faster. Makes one long for the good old days.

Son's new coach did give him 48 hours off for xmas, I'll send you a photo of us on xmas eve, it made my xmas to have him home if only for such a short time.

Waiting for Monday Night's big show down ... LSU vs. BAMA.

Although I must say, I kinda wish that they pitted LSU and Alabama against teams from other conferences. Having witnessed the lack of defense during the Bowl season and the VIDEO game like scores ... I think that some teams that complained about not being in the BCS National Championship game can probably thank their lucky stars that they did not have to face either the LSU or BAMA defenses.

No disrespect to those that root for other teams, but we will be seeing most of the Tide and Tigers defense playing on Sundays in the future.

Just how good is the SEC West ... http://espn.go.com/ncf/conferences/standings?confId=8&year=2011

The NFL playoffs have pretty much been a yawn unless one of your teams won as this weekend as there have been no close games.

Although watching the Steelers - Broncos game, Denver up 7-6. What happens if the Broncos pull the upsets of all upsets and win? Elway and the Denver management are going to be forced into keeping Tebow at QB. Something that I believe they do not want to do.

UPDATE I: WOW, Denver up 14-6, Tebow runs in for TD. The Steelers are terribly banged up in this game. Is it possible? Could Pittsburgh really lose?

Red,  I will give you LSU, Bama and Arkansas are all very very good.  Auburn was not that good this year - big deal that they beat Virginia?  Miss State beating Wake Forest is a surprise?  Nah... Make the SEC live by the same oversigning guidelines that other conferences enforce and see what happens.  I won't bring up scholastics, graduation and class attendance.   ::CowboySmiley::  But I disgress....

The problem with the bowl games is the match ups are BS.  We are lucky they let #1 and #2 play for the championship. LOL

The NFL playoffs have pretty much been a yawn unless one of your teams won as this weekend as there have been no close games.

Although watching the Steelers - Broncos game, Denver up 7-6. What happens if the Broncos pull the upsets of all upsets and win? Elway and the Denver management are going to be forced into keeping Tebow at QB. Something that I believe they do not want to do.

UPDATE I: WOW, Denver up 14-6, Tebow runs in for TD. The Steelers are terribly banged up in this game. Is it possible? Could Pittsburgh really lose?
::MonkeyCheer4::  They just did!  I gotta admit I was rooting for Tim. 
I was too! ::MonkeyFBall::

Yep, hard to describe how hard Saban pushes a team to prepare and it showed tonight. Kirby Smart deserves top props too as does their QB, to be so young he really led well tonight.

Don't know how many of you heard of this back-story but it's a heart-breaker.

Well it was the defensive clash we all expected but what the heck was up with Jefferson?  Was LSU's OC MIA?  Team looked uninspired and like they quit in the first quarter!  Hats off to a perfect game by Bama.  THey had it in all phases of the game.  Without a doubt #1 team.

Congrads to all those Bama fans out there! Definitely a decisive win. Bean I agree with the offensive view of LSU. Very blah. Zero attempts at any pass beyond 20 yards, not even a through away. Probably the worst running of the option from a QB.

IT will be a great year for your hawgs for sure. The national coaching convention was this week in TX, son said he met lots of coaches and that overall it was a great experience. I wish Petrino would bring him on board!

Dominant win by BAMA. I think there are some at OK St. that are probably happy they did not have to face that defence in a BCS Bowl game.

One good thing that came out of all this is that the word "playoff" is now in the vocabulary of the BCS. I believe it will start out as 4 and go to 8. Maybe more after that after the NCAA finds a way to incorporate with bowls and making $'s.

Look for USC, BAMA, Clemson, LSU, Georgia & Michigan to be in Top 10 preseason for 2012.

Former Penn State Football Coach Joe Paterno Dies at Age 85 … Rest in Peace

http://scaredmonkeys.com/2012/01/22/former-penn-state-football-coach-joe-paterno-dies-at-age-85-rest-in-peace/

It is obvious that Joe Paterno lost the will to live following the Penn State/Sandusky sex scandal. Joe Paterno loved two things, his family and Penn State. Sadly, many will only see the sex scandal that occurred as Paterno’s legacy; however, nothing could be farther from the truth. In the end Joe Paterno did not die of cancer, he died of a broken heart. He admitted he could have and should have done more when it came to the sex scandal that cost him his job and tainted his legacy. However, it would be short sighted and ignorant not to see the good that Joe Pa did for Penn State University and the many individuals whose lives he touched.

AFC Championship Game: New England Patriots Win 23-30 as Ravens Kicker Misses Last Second Field Goal

WIDE LEFT!!!!

The New England Patriots defeated the Baltimore Ravens 23-20 in the AFC Championship Game and are headed to the Super Bowl.  Ravens kicker Billy Cundiff missed a 32 yard FG that would have tied the game with just 15 seconds left. Instead, what should have been a routine kick, turned out to be and adventure and WIDE LEFT!

What a game, the PATS offense vs. that Raven defense but who knew it would be the Patriots defense that would win the game and put them in their 7th Super Bowl.

Yes, if you cannot tell I am a PATS fan   ::MonkeyDance::

Nice tribute Red.  My dad was a coach and it really pains me when I see icons go out on a sour note... Joe's departure was so sad and hard to take and I'm not even a Penn State fan - just a football fan.  The man did a whole lot of good and touched a lot of lives.  Thanks for pointing that out.  So many are forgetting that and I think that is just plain wrong.  RIP Jo Pa.

Wow None - seems so early for a spring game.  Ours is in two weeks.  How is the son doing?  Must be doing something right!  Still employed ;)

They are televising ours (delayed) on Big 10 network - first time anyone has allowed it.  We pride ourselves in bringing in between 60 and 80k for the game so I think they didn't want to ruin that recruiting tool.  Anyway... I bought 7 tickets and am taking my niece and two nephews - their first time.  My aunt and a cousin will assist me and trust me I will need all the help I can get!  We will start tailgating at 9 or 10 am - game starts at 1.

Weather hopefully will be great - every other year you worry it will still be cold.  We've hit 80 and even 90 already.  I had to mow my yard TWICE in the month of march... normally don't even think about mowing til May!  Very very strange weather everywhere.

I hope you and the young ones enjoy the game. Let us know how they like tailgating in the big leagues!!

The weather has been wacky, I've survived my first rainy season on the west coast and this is a photo I took last weekend - just me and the pelicans and pigeons hangin' out  ::MonkeyHaHa:: Hmmm it appears we can't post photos anymore? Well it's a harbor view and gorgeous - oh well!

Dude must be awesome to come in as a true frosh and get the call so early.  How's everything else look?  You going to take the crown this year?

WE don't know much about how things are going - the day of our spring game was the day all those tornadoes were hitting OK, KS, NE so it was cancelled.  I took the 3 kids to Lincoln, got autographs and Husker gear for them at the store - then headed to the stadium... it started downpouring - we waited inside the concourse for almost 2 hrs before they called it - had a picnic on the concrete floor with thousands of others donning red... ha  but we never got to see them play and Bo doesn't say much other than "we had a nice spring, everyone stepped it up and i like what i saw, we are in good shape"  ::MonkeyHaHa::

Hello None,

Hope all is well with you and the family. The Penn St. situation is sad from so many different angles. What do you do? It is sad to penalize the kids who are completely innocent of these horrific crimes, but it seems from the outside looking in, that everyone that was in the know had something to do with the football program; from the athletic department, all the way up to the president, Graham Spanier. I think far more attention needs to be focused on him.

Extremely proud of what is taking place on the shores of Montlake, as well as extremely excited for the season to begin. I wish your son continued success with coaching and know he will touch the young mens lives in a very positive way. It would be great if one day he became the head coach of the University of Washington, and I could be an honorary coach with field privileges year round...This monkey never says never. I can dream   ::MonkeyAngel::

Hi KTF,

Thank  you for your kind remarks about son. He's in his second season as a grad assistant coach, new HC from a strong TX program and he's working around the clock to do his best for him. I'm on the west coast now, couldn't find a job on the east coast but trying not to complain about that. I have meaningful work and a boss I quite like, plenty of challenges but with a company that is growing. Now if I could just sell my home back east....we actually have clients in WA too  ::MonkeyCool::

I'm glad to see you so excited about your team and their prominence, I see that LSU was ranked #1 in the pre-season polls so I'm expecting you and yours to go knock them off that pedestal !!

Yep, fall ball has started. I look at the camp photos every night hoping to catch a glimpse of son. He is growing up into a fine man, he's brought me to tears recently on Mother's Day and my birthday for he's been caring and loving in his efforts and his phone calls. I do truly believe he can influence these young men so positively, with his work ethic and his integrity about the game. He got emotional last week when he was talking about the coming season when he said "I know how to win, I know I can help make that happen". I'm hopeful for him, their program has to trend up this season and quickly - but they have a new QB transfer that just might help make that curve. Son was talking about how "brilliant" this kid is, that he's a superior student, on top of his skills, plus he plays the piano by ear. Son loves music, I could tell how impressed he is!

Take care  ::MonkeyCheer4::

We're having a heat wave this week, A/C went out in our 3rd floor office late yesterday - a mess for we have our busiest week of the month this week. This is when I hate being in charge! Ironically, got a call from a headhunter that secured me an interview with a global company last year that has circled back now wanting to "name your price" to take a position back east. Have to look at it, like the role and company I am with now but just too expensive to live out here and too far away from family. At least back east it's less expensive too!!

Just a correction Michigan and Alabama's game on Sept 1st evening is at a neutral site Cowboy Stadium Texas. I got a little off since some of the sports scheduling programs listed this game as a home game for Mich and then as a home game for Bama. I will try to put a correct start time but this may have to wait until were correctly listed on what ever station that has the game. Just don't want to be off by a time zone.

true to form, no word back from the headhunter - really?  ::MonkeyHaHa::

I had not heard that Bill Stewart had suddenly died either - somehow tripped across it today when WVU dedicated a plaque to his memory.

He was a good ole southern coach, during recruiting for son Bill used to call me to tell me "momma needs to be happy with his decision, momma needs to help guide him on the best place for him". He was the only coach to call me "momma" or to ever say it should be my decision. He stuck with me with that, still remember it like it was yesterday.

I saw this clip of his "leave no doubt" speech for WVU's team at the Fiesta Bowl, thought I'd share - Bless his family.

The Huskies have San Diego St. this Saturday. No game is a give me, but we should take care of business if we come ready to play. Our offense is going to be pretty good with a couple of true freshman starting. Jaydon Mickens, who almost went to Okie St., and Kendyl Taylor who has NFL bloodlines. I believe the 49rs great John Taylor is his uncle. We brought in some new defensive guys in Justin Wilcox, Peter Sirmon, Tosh Lupoi(considered one of the best recruiters in the country), and Keith Heyward. the defense is going to be the key to the season. If we can show some improvement and and get teams off the field with a few more three and outs, we could have a good year. After the San Diego St. game, I'm heading down to the Bayou for the UW vs. LSU game. Gonna be a real treat to experience such great tradition and southern hospitality down in Louisiana. Hope all is well with my college football Monkeys!!

Cheer him on None!  Tell him HI and good luck.

Nah... Bo isn't in the hot seat yet.  Not even close.  We got rid of his brother who was a real cancer causing stress on the staff and team with his extra marital affairs... a disaster. 

Guess we'll find out soon.

I got tickets to the game this week and so oldest nephew gets to go to his first ever game.  He's in 2nd grade.  He'll be a part of history because this is the last game we can set off our helium filled red balloons after the first score :( .... There evidently is a nationwide helium shortage that is pretty severe.  Can't believe after over 60 yrs this tradition will be a thing of the past.  Tomorrow is 'one last time'.  I'll be taking photos.

Hope everyone's teams are healthy and get the W.  Kiwi... good luck against Bama!  Tough opener.

Good to hear from you guys!  So did everyone's team win?  Oops... sorry Kiwi but that was one tough opener... so we'll let it go.

Wreck.... that score... epic.  Good chance for the youngsters to play.  That is alot of players that played!  lol

You guys TWO HOURS after the game the external temp according to my car was 118 degrees!  It was the hottest I can ever remember.  15 or more band members were treated for heat.  Fans were being carted off in the first quarter like crazy.  One elderly man died of a heat stroke at the game.  ::MonkeyNoNo::

My nephew (8 yrs old) and I got their at 10 am so we had over 4 hrs to walk around and take it all in.  The bad thing was that we were in the intense heat for so long.. at the end of the first quarter we sought shelter in the shade for a quarter to bring our body temps down.  We drank 10 bottles of water during the game!  We were rejuvenated by half time (though it was still godawful hot) and had a blast.  I bought him a football and put it in the car and it exploded from the heat.  ::MonkeyHaHa::  The store did give the little guy a new one though. 

OK... about the game... we were all pretty shocked by our offense considering we have had none for two years or more now.  We play UCLA next and pray it wasn't a one time thing.   ::MonkeyHaHa::

Good to hear from you guys.... please share more about your teams and cheers to a great season for all.

Nope everyone' s team didn't win - small disaster for son's team but thankfully he isn't the new HC !!

Bean you just described opening season game at Bama when I went to son's first one on Labor Day weekend - so hot you melt and you can't imagine how the players endure the heat in all of the equipment except that's why night games make better sense? Anyway, sorry to hear someone died, how tragic!

I bet your nephew loved it all, even the heat.

I spoke to son just prior to him leaving for the stadium yesterday, teared up just listening to how very 'grown up' he is now. Have to say for all the times he was typically a pain as most growing up can be, he's made up for it all, he's just so responsible and almost wise now - and sweet to his mom. Now if they could just get this program turned around................I keep telling son it's the opportunity known as a "resume builder". Not sure he believes me, just hard to watch them suffer through the rebuild.

Kiwi, I worked yesterday and today so didn't get cupcakes made for the doghouse but thank you for providing it!

As a competitor I think this is great because #1 you see that while Braxon can scramble like a pro - his throws are off #2 chances of that happening again this season aren't great #3 he's going to kill his wide receivers before we play.  ::MonkeyDevil:: ::MonkeyDevil:: ::MonkeyDevil::

Thanks Bean, I will. It's interesting because son is the only former staff that was retained but then he had only arrived a few months prior - it seems the new HC is pretty vocal, son says everyone (other interns/GA's) backs up a step when the HC gets in their face - son said he doesn't, he just steps forward and says "yessir". At least he's willing to take the heat. I can only imagine how vocal the HC was after that loss, painful to imagine it.

It's a shame the new QB isn't as good on the field as he was on paper too. Going to be a very long season if he doesn't trend up quickly.

I'm glad everyone did extremely well last weekend. Bama looked great! They should have a very fine year and compete for the NC as long as they don't lose focus along the way. On the Mich side go back to the spread and average 30-40 points a game and let the NFL develop the pro style game for Dennard.

Ah Wreck, thanks for asking.  Her name was Annie and she passed on 2/25 this year.  She was 16.  She fought a tumor very long and very hard.  In the end it took away her ability to walk and she was down to 10 lbs (from 17).  So I'm puppyless right now as I regroup.  Dogs are the best though.  One day.

How did your team do today?  We lost and our D looked like Callahan's.  It was depressing.  Drinks at Kiwi's are on me.

Sharon... oh no I'll pay the mortgage.  ::MonkeyHaHa::  We only lost by 6 pts but our infamous Blackshirt defense gave up 653 yards!  That is worse than under Callahan.  If UCLA hadn't taken a knee the last drive and had they gained THREE more yards it would have been the most yards given up by any NE team EVER in the over 100 yr history of the school. 

I told None that Bo wasn't on the hotseat... Tom Osborne is very slow to fire.. but the temp just got turned up a notch and I might have to eat some crow. 

Sharon, Bill Snyder is the master of trickery and he gets more out of his unranked players than any coach I've ever seen.  KSU sunk into immediate disrepair when he retired and quickly rose when he returned... The guy has to be 70 yrs old... they'll have him on the sidelines with oxygen... they need him alive.  The guy is just that good.  So your team can still rally!

Wreck I think your game was one of those late ones so I don't know what happened....

Are we all in the dog house except Kiwi this week?  Yikes.

Bean, no crow required here. The season is still young.........keep the faith.

Sharon, I'll take the seat next to you. Son's team lost in the 4th Q but it was a great improvement, here are some quotes from the state newspaper's #1 sports writer today:
"They were creative. Smart. Disciplined. They were flying around on defense. They were playing with passion and intelligence.

"Best half of football they've played in three years,"


So I'll take that, onward and upward - let's hope for wins all around next week  ::MonkeyFootball::

Other then getting beat by a very,very good LSU team, the trip to New Orleans and Baton Rouge was phenomenal. The French Quarter was a treat: From eating Beignets at Cafe DuMonde at least twice a day while I was there; To eating at places like ACME(Po Boy sandwhich after chargrilled oysters), Menas Palace(cup of shrimp gumbo followed by red beans and rice w/fried chicken), and Oceana where I again had some shrimp gumbo followed by red beans and rice with sausage, I couldn't have had a better time.

-Bourbon St. was very lively as the Saints were kicking off the regular season at the Superdome.
-TheTrolley ride down St. Charles to see all the plantation style mansions was a step back in time. It was an absolutely fantastic ride on a hot night, with a cool southern breeze flowing through the open windows of the trolley car.
-The tailgating and fans of LSU were as good as it gets. I'm sure there is a little more electricity in the stadium when LSU is playing Bama or Florida, and not our soft team that showed up.
-Being from the northwest, it was a bit odd seeing dead gators on the I-10 heading to Baton Rouge. Don't worry, I didn't pull over to the side of the road to go to the bathroom.
-The Tiger Walk was pretty cool, and the LSU band was very entertaining.

Sorry if any of you watched that game..LOL!!!

Looks like Nebraska had another win - was interesting to see LSU struggle against Towson early in that game  ::MonkeyShocked::

Haven't had time to track all of the games, working all weekend once again. Son's team had a bye week................didn't Miami win? Thought I saw that too, just no time to drill down.

Kiwi I'm glad I could stay out of the dawghouse for just one week, even if by default!

Yes None, we won... nail biter til the very end.  We shot ourselves in the foot first half and gave them 2 TDs at least... I drank a bit more than normal so it's unclear. lol.  Team played like they should have the 2nd half and scored 27 unanswered pts.  We play Ohio State next week so no time to relax. 

I was laughing at the LSU score because I went to college at Towson!  I know they are a basketball and rugby school... we didn't even have cheerleaders for the football team. lol.  Couldn't watch their game as ours was on at that time.

Bean, nothing against Towson at all - have to admit I have a rabid LSU fan/college classmate and when I signed into FBook I saw her meltdown on the news feed as Towson put LSU thru their paces  ::MonkeyHaHa::

It's like Troy State, never ever underestimate the little guy, right?

I wish some of our old posters would return, I miss the larger banter back and forth. I'll have to email you a photo of son, he looks like a bonafide college football coach  ::MonkeyWink::

Well Sharon I am in the doghouse with ya!  The way we played tonight I might have to just move in.  Wow.

None early in the season you mentioned Bo being in the hot seat and I said no.  Forget that.  Tom O has announced his retirement and the new AD will be introduced Tuesday.  Some are speculating... and after tonight's dreadful performance by our defense I can see why.  I think Bo would be better suited for the NFL as a position coach.  The end.

Bean, college coaches are under such scrutiny now and it's all about the wins with the exception of some of the more academic universities. I wish all of them the best for it's not a job for the faint of heart.

That said, gratefully son's team won today - it they did not I expect a public lynching might have ensued. I actually fly out Tuesday night for my first day off since starting this job in January and am going to be able to watch son coach a game. Can't recall when I've missed him more and really need to see my boy. Two weeks ago while watching the game on the internet (only way to see his games out here), suddenly the screen is filled with him calling plays and I burst into tears. However this turns out for the long-term, God bless him he's living his dream now.

South Carolina is really coming along but can't say I enjoy watching ole visor-head winning but glad for his team. Lots of upsets today for sure though, lots !

None,  how great that you can go to one of his games!  I can't imagine how proud you must be of him.  Yes he picked a very tough profession.  It takes a special kind of person and a whole lot of sacrifice.  Cheer him on for us and enjoy your weekend with him.

Kiwi - it's you vs me next Saturday in Lincoln.  Why am i nervous?  LOL  Both our teams struggled and eeked out wins this week.  Your QB scares the crap out of Husker fans - we can't stop a mobile QB for the life of us.. remember Braxton Miller?  Will take a miracle for us to win.  Although I'll share with you that my 7 yr old nephew is convinced that we won this week because he kept saying Hail Mary's.   ::MonkeyHaHa::


Title: Re: FOOTBALL WITH FRIJOLE #3 8/14/10 -
Post by: Kiwi on October 22, 2012, 02:26:43 PM
Bean I rate your chances as pretty good if the coach keeps him in the pocket like against Michigan State, Bama, and ND. Boy is he fast in the 40 his split time is faster than Bolt. Of course after that he would be watching him blow by. Last weekend 4 field goals no TD's couldn't get in from the red zone. So tell your nephew to keep saying the Hail Mary's.

Post by: Frijole on October 22, 2012, 11:16:06 PM
Lord... if your coach doesn't let DR run loose he is an idiot!  Let him run and you win - watch the OSU game against us. LOL.  Even Hail Mary's can't prevent that disaster from happening.  So you and I know the keys to the game.  Good luck and hope the game is without injuries and the refs call it clean.  BTW they will be celebrating 50 yrs of sellouts at our stadium so there will be some extra festivities going on.  It should be awesome!

Post by: Kiwi on October 23, 2012, 04:09:44 PM
It should prove to be a good game! Nebraska is one of the few teams that if we lose to its not too crushing plus the TV doesn't get damaged. Losing to MSU or Ohio St it seems more personal and harder on the TV.
I'll watch the half time festivities if they show them here! I wanted to go to the game this year but my friend needs to stay close to home for his wife. So good luck to you on Saturday! Watch out for MSU the week after for injuries they seem to take a few extra liberties.


Title: Re: FOOTBALL WITH FRIJOLE #3 8/14/10 -
Post by: Frijole on October 23, 2012, 07:42:27 PM
Same to you Kiwi!  You talking about how MSU fakes injuries?  I was at the game last year and totally saw it first hand.  We were just talking about that the other day.  So obvious.

Congrads to Nebraska! Nice win over Michigan. I liked how the coaches talked after the game. Thought it was a very clean game. Although the video review process seems like a few more angles would speed up the process.

Post by: Frijole on October 28, 2012, 09:51:05 PM
Thanks Kiwi.  Very sorry to see DR go down - would have made the win more enjoyable had he played the entire game.  From what they said he's had this before?  Scary.  Hope he heals and can play next week.  Who do you play next week?

FWIW it didn't come out but quite a few of our starters got the flu bug two days before the game - some played and some didn't.  Guess there were a few on IV's the night before the game.  Glad I learned about it afterwards.  We lost that wide reciever that was injured on the first play (kick off) of the game for the season - torn ACL and MCL.

Heard the MI fans that came seemed to have a great time.

Congrats Bean on your win. I'm spending nearly every weekend in the dawghouse, son's team cannot buy a win!

I did make his game coaching against one of his alma maters and have to say it was beyond wonderful to see him. I'll send you photos Bean, too tired tonight but will try to tomorrow.

Looks like the Bama vs LSU game is closer than predicted, still some time to go but have to expect Les is chomping at the bit to win that one.

I miss PDH !!

Good to hear from you None!  Glad you got to see your son coach again.  Re my team - they are now dubbed the Heart Attack Huskers having to come from behind double digits 3 times this year.  We are in a dead heat with Michigan to play in the conf champ game so it's tough all the way to the end right Kiwi?  ::MonkeyFootball::

That LSU/Bama game was something.

Bean Nebraska should be highly favored to make the playoff. Michigan has Ohio St last game and a tie with wins goes Husker's way. Good job beating Mich St wasn't too sad there! Also it was nice seeing last years back up QB Devon Gardner playing against Minn. Should have put him in for the Neb game instead of him staying out there as a WR. Robinson did not play.
Hey it would be nice if PDH was here. More company in the Dawghouse.

Post by: Frijole on November 05, 2012, 01:59:16 PM
Thanks Kiwi... we are so sporadic we don't take any game - not even IA and MN for granted!  LOL  That said - we don't want to play Oregon!  Go Ducks!  Make it to the big dance please!

You are right - I saw some of your game this week and couldn't believe they didn't put in Gardner.  He's good! Alot of what was done by your OC had me scratching my head but we only have part of the story I guess.

Good luck the rest of the way!  Yeah PDH has got to be going crazy with Auburn being a complete wreck.  I knew that coach was worthless at IA State.  He was hired because he knew the secrets at Auburn (hired in the middle of the investigation) and was a yes man.  Worthless coach but he had some great athletes... Now that he's had to coach them up... ouch.  True colors are showing.  Auburn deserves better than Chizik.

Bean- Nebraska is still moving on! Getting near the end of the season. Some how we survived last weekend with Northwestern with a fluke tipped 50yd  pass to the 10yd line. We had zero timeouts, 30sec left on the clock. Time lapsed to 7sec before Gardner spiked the ball. Followed by field goal to tie.  Using Gardner at QB Dennard is still out.
Unfortunate for Alabama last weekend. I still believe that was just a blip for them. Having watched  Michigan play ND and Bama their is no way ND is even close.

Post by: Frijole on November 13, 2012, 07:34:38 AM
Thanks for the update!  Yes lots of football still to be played.  That last second win was remarkable.  Gardner is a gamer for sure.  Unreal he was WR but guess he was needed on the field. 


Title: Re: FOOTBALL WITH FRIJOLE #3 8/14/10 -
Post by: Kiwi on November 13, 2012, 02:36:47 PM
Bean with Dennard at QB they thought Gardner at 6'4" would be more involved in the offense at WR. Unfortunately, they forgot about him in our game Neb-Mich. Coming in cold may have had the same outcome. You have Minn next and then Iowa. Michigan finishes with Iowa and Ohio State.

I scored tickets to this week's game.  What makes it exciting for me is it is senior day AND Tom Osborne's last home game as AD... there will be some major celebrations etc for the event I am sure.. including lots of the former players in town and on the field.  Sad to see his tenure come to an end but glad I can be there.  Good luck with Iowa Kiwi... don't beat 'em up too bad :)  I'm glad we end with IA and you have OSU.. yikes that game was a nightmare for us.

7. Kansas St
8. LSU
9. Texas A&M
10. Florida St

Sorry, but with no due respect to AP Coaches poll, your continued BS love affair with Oregon and KS state is just that. BS. The Ducks and K St were shown to be frauds Saturday night and everyone outside of Eugene, OR and Manhattan, KS knew it. Sorry, but the Ducks Xbox video game offense once again got punched in the mouth and folded. K State was an accident waiting to happen and was shown to be a complete fraud by an unranked Baylor team. Sorry, you do not get to lose a game by 4 TD's to an unranked team having pretty much playing no one and get to stay in the top 10 of the BCS.

Also, with regards to OR, they too have once again shown they are the same old video game offense who folds once they are presented with a defense. Stanford just showed us what would have happened had the ducks played an Irish or SEC defense in a Championship game.

If ND beats a down USC next week they will be playing for a BCS National Championship and much to those who hate Southeastern football. I should say are jealous. The BCS National Championship still runs through the SEC Championship game.

Son has had such a hard season, lot to be said for how character-building it is to play on successful teams in college and then end up coaching for one at the bottom of their conference. Happy to say they are finally improving some, too late in the season to help much with a bowl bid but redeeming for the team and their patient fans. Two wins back - to -back. I honestly think the team also needed to learn to believe they could win too....

Bean enjoy those games, I surely miss them and having only attended one all season - feels like withdrawals!

I feel like I have been waiting 15-20 years to say that ND is actually relevant again. The difference this year wuth ND as compared to years past, is that ND earned their ranking. I am a huge ND fan but I am the first to admit that all too often they were given New Years Day bowl games and ranked higher than they should of based on their stories past, not the present.

We shall see what happens in their rivalry game against Southern Cal. What I learned this year in college footbal is anything can happen.

Did not mean to insult OK state, just did not think they had a chance. One thing this year vs. last year, Alabama's defense was 100 x's better last year. They losty a lot of talent to the NFL. My only point is this ... many of the bubble gum offenses fold like a cheap suit once they get hit in the mouth. The OR ducks are famous for it. BTW, the SEC is like playing an NFL schedule. To go undefeated in it is near impossible. Good grief, now the doormat of the SEC, Vanderbilt is good. BTW, Bama did play Michigan in the first game of the season in which many had predicted a good Wolverine team this year. Bama beat them like a drum. Who did OK St play out of conference, Savannah St? http://espn.go.com/college-football/team/_/id/197/oklahoma-state-cowboys

There is no question that the SEC is the best conference in the land. Until some one knocks them off.

Good luck in Bedlam against the Sooners.

Notre Dame is better than in years' past -- but still Notre Dame. They will still blow it -- plenty of time!  ::MonkeyDevil::

Did not mean to insult OK state, just did not think they had a chance. One thing this year vs. last year, Alabama's defense was 100 x's better last year. They losty a lot of talent to the NFL. My only point is this ... many of the bubble gum offenses fold like a cheap suit once they get hit in the mouth. The OR ducks are famous for it. BTW, the SEC is like playing an NFL schedule. To go undefeated in it is near impossible. Good grief, now the doormat of the SEC, Vanderbilt is good. BTW, Bama did play Michigan in the first game of the season in which many had predicted a good Wolverine team this year. Bama beat them like a drum. Who did OK St play out of conference, Savannah St? http://espn.go.com/college-football/team/_/id/197/oklahoma-state-cowboys

There is no question that the SEC is the best conference in the land. Until some one knocks them off.

Good luck in Bedlam against the Sooners.
We did play Savannah St (that was a last minute replacement due to A&M screwing up scheduling by jumping to the SEC). We DID play Arizona non-conference. Oh well ... that's why we play all of these games -- it all washes out in the end (well at least it will when we finally get a playoff system)!!  ::CowboySmiley::

Wreck,

You bring up a point above that I would love to hear everyone's opinion on regarding rivalry games in honor of this weekends epic rivalries.

Some one needs to explain to me how a rivalry game ends just because two teams are not in the same conference. I may be a ND fan but I love to watch all college football. One of the great things I remember watching was the rivalry games. I am dismayed and disgusted that colleges have ended many of these classic battles just because they are no longer in the same conference.

Rivalry that are no longer ... Texas vs. Teas A&M (its bad enough the A&M bonfires are no more tragically, but this game goes bye,bye. Missouri vs. Kansas, these two states have been battling each other since the Civil War. Pittsburgh vs. West Virginia: the backyard brawl goes away. Previously gone was the annual OK - Nebraska battles. Please provide others if I have missed any.

Wreck, imagine if for what ever reason either OK or Ok St go to the SEC. Can you imagine there would be no "Bedlam"?

Rivalry games do not exist because they are teams in the same conference ... they exist because they are natural rivals. For example, the Red River Shoot out between Oklahoma and Texas. This was a rivalry game long before Texas entered the Big 8, 12 what ever. The Long Horns were in the SWC when this rivalry game began.

What about the SEC vs the ACC rivalry games of GA Tech and Georgia, South Carolina vs. Clemson and Florida vs. Florida State? Regionally, there are no greater rivalry games than these and they are not in the same conference.

I think its sad that these colleges cannot do the right thing and keep the rivalries. Instead, the powers that be cop attitudes as other colleges take the money to go elsewhere.

Opinions? Comments?

I'm right there with you! That is the rub with going to a playoff system -- we are losing more and more of these with the new "Super Conferences." I guess when we get to a point where there are only 4 conferences -- maybe schools won't have to schedule cupcakes just to boost their "poll" ratings. I would like to see schools then go back and restore these old rivalry games as their "non-conference" games.

Alot of the rivalries died because the team that was 'down' at the time of the division split elected not to renew it... case in point OK vs NU.  Tom O wanted to keep it going but when the Big 8 became 12 OK was sent to the southern division and this was when OK was in a downward spiral and they didn't want to risk another loss.  Ironically Tom O's last deal a few weeks ago was to get OK to agree to a series of games in like 2020 and 2021.  I hope I'm around to enjoy them!

Congratulations Red !  ::monkeywine2:: ENJOY !!!

Son's team won their last 3 games, today their greatest nemesis gave them their props finally - don't you just love those hometown sports writers who love to hate on their home team?? Was nice to see him eat some crow and give the new HC and all of his staff some kudos. Best season-end in over 5 years for this team, won't get them a bowl bid (high side is son will be home for xmas) but I think son will learn and grow more as a coach from this season than being on a top team. They ended 4W to 4L for their conference games  ::MonkeyFootball::

Red I hate to write this but the trickle-down is complete from NFL to NCAA football. It is all about winning and the all-mighty dollar. Drives all decisions, fans don't want losing teams and as Bean said, if rivalries mean losing then AD's can't take the fall-out and keep their jobs either.

Congrats to all the monkey teams with winning seasons, lucky you!! Looks like Petrino's replacement at Arkansas was sent packing as soon as the game ended. College football coaching is not for the faint of heart.

Thank you. WOO-HOO ... Waking up the echoes after nearly 25 years.

Notre Dame with big win to play for the BCS National Championship. Although I will say that I think coach Kelly played a dangerous game of playing not to lose rather than to win. The game should have been a much larger win than it was; however, every time ND got into the red zone, Kelley kept go no back set when it was Riddick who was shredding the SC defense for nearly 150 yards. But a win is a win.

I will say this and I find it rather ironic in today's college game of xBox offenses. It was a defense stand for the ages that brought ND within one game of a BCS championship. Also, if as I believe Alabama will beat Georgia and play for the BCS as well, it will be the two best defenses in the country playing for the title. This in the midst where teams feel the need to score 100 points to win.

Go ND!!!  ::MonkeyCheer4::

I really wish they would bring back these rivalries because this is what made college football great. If fans are not provided good games, the average fan is not going to watch. And I have to agree with Nonesuch, it is about the $. Its comical that they go after these college athletes for daring to get a free pair of sneakers, yet they make millions off of them.

The following is going to be an interesting situation when it comes to a 4 team playoff in 2014. Don't ask for things it might come true. Since the computers are going away and it will be more decided by a committee much like the NCAA Basketball Big Dance, this committee is going to determine who is credible by the same factors as they do in basketball ... good wins, bad losses, strength of schedule, winning and playing in conference championship, etc.

Its going to make no sense to play cupcakes as strength of schedule may be the determining factor to get in. Some of these teams, Oregon Ducks, are going to have to play someone tough out of conference. No one wants a pretender playing for a championship just because they score alot vs. inferior talent.

Personally, I believe that the NCAA playoff should be 8 teams and it needs to start before New Years. This idea that ND is going to have a 44 day layoff and AL/GA will be off 37 days is a joke. It is once again done for $ only. This amount of days off does nothing for the play on the field.

None and Red - spot on.  I failed to mention the money part.. my bad!  With the outrageous salaries and subsequent heat to win at all costs I don't see this changing.  Agree that the game will change a great deal with conference expansion and playoffs.  The reason I watch college vs. pro football is because it's always been about 'heart'.  I fear that will go away.

The other thing that 'gets my goat' is the media... particularly ESPN.  Their bias is ridiculous and their reporting is pure BS.  Too many agendas, particularly when they have ownership in outcomes.  Pisses me off!

I actually plan on writing a FPP on this as well but wanted to first mention it here.

I have hated Florida St ever since they went from underdogs in the 80's to the expected winners of their former whining coach Bobby Bowden who cried his way to a National Championship.

However, what they did yesterday was as rotten a move as I have ever seen and they should be brought up on NCAA sanctions for it. Too bad the NCAA is just as corropt and could care less about the college athlete. The NCAA was actually formed to protect the college athlete, instead all they do is go after them for getting free sneakers and food and let the Colleges make millions off their blood, sweat, tears and brains. Brains, you say ... but Red, since when are football players known for their brains?

During yesterday's a$$whooping at the hands of SEC East power Florida (37-26, although the final 6 by FSU was an afterthought), the FLA St QB got nailed with what separates the SEC from all other conferences, an SEC tackle. EJ Manuel was knocked into next week, fumbled the ball and was taken out of the game with an obvious concussion. The back came in and did nothing. The gators were on their way to scoring 24 straight points in the 4th qtr when low and behold FLA St sent Manuel back into the game when he had an concussion to win the game.

FLA ST, you bastards should be ashamed of yourself. Trust me, I have played college sports, I have received concussions; however, nothing like the violent hit that Manuel received and no, I was not allowed back in any game and did not recover in 15-20 minutes.

This was shameful on the part of the Seminoles as they could care less whether this kid was coherent or not. The dr's and trainers that allowed this should lose their jobs. The announcers of the game kept asking why there seemed to be no sense of urgency. DUH!!! He had a concussion you morons.

Had this been an NFL game, that kid would never have been allowed to play.

I understand the frustrations with playing not to lose but will also say it's how son's second alma mater won their conference championship, in fact it was how they won their season. Trouble is now that HC is in the Big East and that strategy is not working as well?

Take the win, however you got it - I agree that you'll likely face Bama in the BCS and honestly - it will be refreshing to see defenses rule !

Geez O'Brien is gone from NCSU too ???? Heck another loss to two rivals this season - further proof of how rivalries rule.

Bean, here is a quote on ESPN about Kiffen's tenure..........yep if he has to fire Dad then no doubt he will. Kiffen's middle name is ruthless.

The Los Angeles Times' Bill Plaschke got some quality phone time with USC athletic director Pat Haden, who recently confirmed that Kiffin is as safe as a kitten for now.

"Lane is my head coach, 150 percent, now and hopefully for a long time," Haden told Plaschke. "I see the future. I see the potential. I know what he's been fighting through and I like what he's done."

And then this from Haden:

"Were our expectations too high? Maybe. But I see a lot of positives, a lot of things to build on, and I hope Lane and I are together a long time."

And this:

"Coaches live and die with wins, but athletic directors look at everything. Lane has graduated 83 percent of his seniors so far. He has committed no NCAA infractions. He's recruited tremendously. He's been fantastic in many ways."

The Trojans are 7-4 and unranked. They began the season No. 1 in the Associated Press poll. Fantastic is not a word you'd use to describe USC's season.

Maybe that's why Haden mentioned that Kiffin is going to "evaluate" his coaching staff. In other words, Kiffin's dad, defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin, might not be DC next year. Or maybe he's gone altogether.

Wow that was a close game! If he had dropped the ball, Georgia would have had one more shot at it.    Alabama - ND for it all.  Some interesting bowl games coming. Michigan has South Carolina in the Outback Bowl. Bean I feel for you! It doesn't get easier with GA. Maybe we should just have a TV failure for that game. So where is everyone going this season?

I think you got a shot against SC - they are beatable and you have a much improved team imho.  Go get 'em

Wreck, who did I see you guys were playing?  Can't recall.

Red, we know who you got.  Go get 'em.

SEC Championship Game between Alabama and Georgia one of the best college football games I have seen. Not the best but may be in the Top 10.

I am glad to see that a Championship game was played to its hype. Bama ran for over 30 yards and still just barely beat GA. Hats off to Bama and Bulldog Nation, it was a hell of a game.

I agree!! Quite the nail biter but a showcase for the talent in the SEC.

Looks like UVA is cleaning house, 4 assistant coaches gone ? Starting QB gone?
Wow that was a close game! If he had dropped the ball, Georgia would have had one more shot at it.    Alabama - ND for it all.  Some interesting bowl games coming. Michigan has South Carolina in the Outback Bowl. Bean I feel for you! It doesn't get easier with GA. Maybe we should just have a TV failure for that game. So where is everyone going this season?

Kiwi you should get a visor to wear while you watch the game with voodoo pins in it for Spurrier. That said, my son wears only visors and I've tried not to think about that association  ::MonkeyShocked:: Go have chicken for dinner, ok?

Son's team didn't get a bowl bid but they did improve to 4W/4L in their conference games by season end, so next year will be better we hope but then it was their seniors that stepped up in the end. We shall see.

I see Tubby has bolted for Cinncinati post Jones move to TN - the carousel begins. Who next for Texas A & M? Gruden?

We'll all be together for xmas, grateful for that but my daughter broke her hand prior to Tgiving then they noticed irregularities during that surgery with her bone density. So more tests followed out to concerns and she's now been diagnosed with a tumor on her pituitary gland. Gratefully chances are it's benign but she will undergo surgery after xmas to remove it, daunting to say the very least. So if you can spare a prayer for her I'm asking...........she's my sweet child and so does not deserve all she's going through. So hold your families close and enjoy this holiday season.

Loving Natalee
A Mother's Testament of Hope and Faith

:  The holidays will be here soon, and we’ll have to face the first season without Natalee.   People ask what I will do, how we’ll get through it.  But it’s not the holidays and birthdays that get to me.  It’s the milestones.  Natalee would be looking forward to her winter break after her first semester at college.  But she isn’t coming home from college for Christmas.  She isn’t coming home.

Texas A&M QB Johnny Manziel Wins 2012 Heisman Trophy

By Alex Kay (Featured Columnist) on December 8, 2012

(http://img.bleacherreport.net/img/images/photos/002/030/460/uspw_68296261_crop_exact.jpg?w=650&h=440&q=75)

Johnny Manziel has won the Heisman. The voters have selected Johnathan Paul Manziel of the Texas A&M Aggies as the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner.

The 20-year-old quarterback—more affectionately known around College Station as “Johnny Football”—is just the second TAMU player ever to win the award and first since halfback John David Crow took home the honors back in 1957.

Perhaps most impressively, Johnny Football has become the first freshman to capture the award in its illustrious, 78-year history.

Manziel beat out Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te’o and Kansas State signal-caller Collin Klein for the nod as the most outstanding player in college football. It was a close race, but ultimately the Aggies QB’s numbers were too hard to ignore.

Wow am I behind.  First off - None I'm so glad they caught the tumor... by chance is it cushing's?  Haley had a pituitary tumor but they don't remove them from dogs - too small.  Poor thing.  Keep us posted - sending love!!!! 

So Johnny Football won the Heisman.  Kid gave a nice speech for such a young man.  All 3 were obviously great guys. 

On to the bowls where they have the strangest match ups imaginable!  Good luck to all.

Thank you Klaas, Tamikosonsmom, San, Bean, & Sharon. Everyone's prayers mean so much, from your lips to God's ears.

Bean, no it's not Cushings. Hers is located on the pituitary stem next to the brain, so they are unsure until they open her up if it's pituitary or brain cancer. In discussion with her father this weekend I learned that her great-aunt had a brain tumor in the 70's that was larger and malignant, but she survived to live until 80. I never knew and his aunt was full of life so I am so hopeful we have caught this in time and that she will have a normal life span and a good life. Lesson learned, know your family medical history......

If Gruden does anything he will take a pro job. There is no way he is going from SuperBowl winning NFL coach back to college. The college game is such a different animal, especially with the recruiting and 1000's of NCAA rules.

Rumor has it that he was contacting other asst coaches to see if they would be available. I could see him in Dallas next year, SD or another spot that opens up. Although, he has a pretty good job with ESPN.

In 1990 ...

Back at ya none.

Our Christmas cookies this year were compliments of 11 year old Granddaughter and "other" Grandma.  As I was sitting back and relaxing on Boxing Day with a cuppa tea and a cookie while most of the family were hitting the stores ... gift cards burning a hold in their wallets ... I thought about you.  Do you and your daughter still bake those creative cookies on special occassions?  Anyways ... I ask God to give you strength and most of all ... peace for whatever lies ahead.  You have been through a lot over the past few years.

Hubby and I are in process of getting ready for New Years Eve.  Dinner with friends at the local Spagetti Factory and ... then we are hosting the group back at our home this year for our traditional games night.  We are such party animals.

Happy New Years None!

So who is winning the BCS National Championship Game, ND or Bama?

Of course I will be rooting for the Fighting Irish, I just hope that ND can match the SEC speed.

As for the rest of the bowl games, I think the Chick-Fil-A Bowl was the best game to date with Clemson beating LSU. Honestly, its too bad that it was not a New Years Day bowl or one of the BCS games. With a match up like that, both teams deserved it.

I am sorry to have been away so long, it's been a difficult path of decisions for daughter - my being on the west coast with work has only complicated it. She had a month of radiation and is now into her 3rd week of chemo, the hope is to reduce the tumor prior to surgery which will likely occur in another 45 days should she be holding up well from a health perspective. This week was a little better, less nausea and fewer migraines, both side effects along with low blood pressure which keep her dizzy. So no cookies this season, she's had to take off from work and grad school this semester to tackle this tumor.

Son made his first NCAA D-1 coach's convention, was interesting to hear his feedback.

I hope you and yours are well Janet - hugs to you.

We'll all be together for xmas, grateful for that but my daughter broke her hand prior to Tgiving then they noticed irregularities during that surgery with her bone density. So more tests followed out to concerns and she's now been diagnosed with a tumor on her pituitary gland. Gratefully chances are it's benign but she will undergo surgery after xmas to remove it, daunting to say the very least. So if you can spare a prayer for her I'm asking...........she's my sweet child and so does not deserve all she's going through. So hold your families close and enjoy this holiday season.

I am sorry to have been away so long, it's been a difficult path of decisions for daughter - my being on the west coast with work has only complicated it. She had a month of radiation and is now into her 3rd week of chemo, the hope is to reduce the tumor prior to surgery which will likely occur in another 45 days should she be holding up well from a health perspective. This week was a little better, less nausea and fewer migraines, both side effects along with low blood pressure which keep her dizzy. So no cookies this season, she's had to take off from work and grad school this semester to tackle this tumor.

Son made his first NCAA D-1 coach's convention, was interesting to hear his feedback.

I hope you and yours are well Janet - hugs to you.



nonesuche, thank you for giving us an update on your daughter.  Wishing her all my best with her upcoming surgery.  I will keep her in my prayers.

Hi none

How's it going hon?  I think of you often and my heart breaks.  Our children may be grown but they will always be our children.  If only we could protect them from adversity in their lives.  It is not often easy but we must remember that their Heavenly father loves them too and ... unlike their earthly parents ... He sees the whole picture ... not just this moment in time.

What's everyone think about the NFL draft?

So far thru three rounds I think that the St Louis Rams have had just a tremendous draft:
http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/draft/teams/_/team/stl/year/2013/st-louis-rams

Stand out Wr's Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey go from WV to the Rams.

They pick up  LB Alec Ogletree from GA who was one of the best in the country last year and safety TJ McDonald from USC.

They have done wonders for their team.

UPDATE, add Center Barrett Jones from BCS National Champs Alabama.

I would agree, they were pretty much given an "F" for their draft. Jerry Jones has pretty much destroyed this team. Its incredible why some one would spend that much money on a team that is a failure year after year. But Jones' ego is more important that a winning team. Everything is bigger is Texas, including Jerry jones' head.

Today I came across a card that a friend sent me years ago when I was going through a trial in my life ... a trial when I was overwhelmed ... a trial when I was having a difficult time reaching up.  I was reminded of the encouragement I felt knowing that others were upholding me to our Heavenly Father.  The words within this card articulated my ongoing daily devotional prayer for you.  I felt compelled to share.

I Said a Prayer for You Today

I said a prayer for you today
 and know God must have heard;
I felt the answer in my heart
 although He spoke not a word.
I didn't ask for wealth or famw
 (I knew you wouldn't mind)
I asked for priceless treasures rare
 of a more lasting kind.
I prayed that He'd be near to you
 at the start of each new day.
To grant you health and blessings fair
 and friends to share your way.
I asked for happiness for you
 in all things great and small,
but that you'd know His loving care
 I prayed the most of all.

Good to see you guys... I got on the NC/SC game... not too exciting but just the sound of the whistles is exciting.  lol

I'm going to our game this Sat night against Wyoming.  Going to be hotter than hell but ... we added 10k seats and remodeled the side of the stadium our corporate seats are in so that will be fun to see.  They are using the space under the seating to house a state of the art, one of a kind research center for brain injuries/concussions.  A statue to Bob DeVaney will be unveiled tomorrow as well outside the stadium.  Our brand new basketball stadium which is unreal just got opened today and the whole downtown area has been impacted - tons of new restaurants, bars, shops.  I'm sure they'll show some on the TV when the game gets out of hand.  (well it had better get out of hand haha)

We lucked out - the beginning of our season (other than ucla) gives us lots of reps for the many many freshmen starters.  Hopefully by the time we meet up with you Kiwi our defense will know what they are doing.

I saw where OK St was ranked all over the map and wondered about that.  Fickle voters and polls..

Good luck to all.  Keep posting - good to see you guys!

You Betcha ... Last nights Clemson - Georgia game was an instant Classic!!!

Death Valley was rockin' last night. People who live near the stadium were tweeting that their houses were shaking. :-)

I had a friend at the game from work, he said that the atmosphere was unreal for the first game of the year, or any game. Felt like it was for the ACC championship. Go Tigers! That's why I have come to love College football to much for than the NFL these days. The atmosphere and tradition is just fantastic.

Hello again,

Son is in his second season as a GA, making all A's so far and their program is now in the big east. Bigger news is that he has a new girlfriend we adore - former Ole Miss cheerleader but also a biomedical nurse, plus does triathlons and is gorgeous? Daughter is now in radiation for her tumor post successful surgery. I'm visiting her this weekend but back to the west coast tomorrow.

College football is the best and hoping I can make a few of son's games. The UGA vs Clemson game was outstanding and I had friends there too Red, they said the earth shook in Death Valley. One of them actually played safety for Clemson when they were last Natl's champions back in the day. Needless to say he was over the top.

Good question... I'll tell you what we do here at Husker Nation.

You might have noticed but everyone here wears red and I mean everyone even if they are staying home to watch the games... going to the grocery store is a trip because everyone has red on. 

At the game the fans get red balloons which are released after the first score.

Our team comes out of a tunnel and it is called the Tunnel Walk.  Actually they start filming within the athletic complex as Bo and the captains walk them down the hallway to a red carpeted area under the stadium.   There is a lucky horse shoe that they high five. I've taken my nephews down there to see it firsthand - cool stuff.  Anyway the players walk on the carpet slapping five and stand by an entrance ... all of this is a part of a film production that is put on the big screen TVs so the fans are clapping and stomping and it gives us all goosebumps.  They run out on the field as the band plays.

Another tradition is our Blackshirts.  It is the nickname for our starting defensive players.  In the 60's a coach asked someone to go to the store to buy some T shirts that were a different color so they could distinguish offense vs defense at practice and that's how it started.  As the team became successful in the 70's etc the Blackshirt tradition included "Throwing the Bones" which is crossing the arms in the air to simulate the skull and cross bones (think pirates).

  https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRm2Pk1Qx1eo8sTXY6PBBl955PNqJIhhdWTxZWlkbHCdYLsDOeI

Honestly Nebraska fans love their defense more than the offense... which is why we are really upset with Pelini right now.  LOL

Go Big Red!

Hope all is well with Monkey's from across the country. May we have wonderful college and pro football seasons with as few injuries as possible, in such a violent sport.

Huskies win their home opener against #19 Boise St, 38-6. Pretty impressive to hold Coach Peterson's Bronco's to only two field goals. The real test is going to come next week against the Illini, on the road in Soldier Field.

I will provide a link for everyone to see the first game in newly renovated Husky Stadium. If your team ever plays the Huskies, it is a must see game. Scroll down the pictures to some of the overhead views of the stadium and location. I may be biased but, there isn't a better venue. Bow Down!  ::MonkeyFootball::

Hi everyone!   ::HelloKitty:: ::MonkeyFootball::

We were excited all day yesterday, finally going to get to watch the Texas Longhorns play!  Televised games that we can see are few and far between since the Longhorn Network came in.

First the weather delay...

Then almost two hours later...the beat down.

Pitiful.  ::MonkeyShocked:: ::MonkeyNoNo:: ::MonkeyWaa::

Whatever the case, BYU laid a Texas-sized whipping on the Big 12’s No. 15-ranked Longhorns, rushing for a school-record 550 yards in a 40-21 beatdown in front of xxxx fans who had to wait an hour and 52 minutes for the kickoff due to a severe rain and lightning storm that hit the Provo area about an hour before the game.

It was the most rushing yards Texas has given up in school history, too, surpassing the 452 it yielded to Rice in 1997.

I hope the Longhorns get it together and have a better showing against Ole Miss.  At least I'm an Ole Miss fan too, so regardless that one can't be as painful to watch as last nights game was.

I'm tuning in for the Cowboys and Giants tonight...but I'm not getting my hopes up.   ::MonkeyHaHa::

Klaas,  Those are all good team picks.  Peyton making a difference no doubt.  You do know that it is the dream of all Husker fans to have Scott Frost come back and be our next head coach.   ::MonkeyDevil::  He was such a great competitor when he was here.  I always cheer him and his team on. 

Our D stepped it up this week which is all we could ask for.  We will see what we are made of next week when UCLA comes to town.  Not many here think we have a chance. 

Kiwi Michigan looks like the real deal. 

Braxton Miller sure does seem to have a lot of injuries. 

Ouch Texas gave up the most yards in history to BYU on Saturday... seat needs to be hot on Mack Brown.  Read that USC's offense looked putrid but I didn't see the game.

Hello again,

Son is in his second season as a GA, making all A's so far and their program is now in the big east. Bigger news is that he has a new girlfriend we adore - former Ole Miss cheerleader but also a biomedical nurse, plus does triathlons and is gorgeous? Daughter is now in radiation for her tumor post successful surgery. I'm visiting her this weekend but back to the west coast tomorrow.

College football is the best and hoping I can make a few of son's games. The UGA vs Clemson game was outstanding and I had friends there too Red, they said the earth shook in Death Valley. One of them actually played safety for Clemson when they were last Natl's champions back in the day. Needless to say he was over the top.

 ::MonkeyFootball:: to everyone's favorite teams this season!


So good to hear from you None, thanks for the updates!   ::HelloKitty:: ::MonkeyKiss::

Still keeping you and yours in my prayers!

I went to several Canes games when I lived down there.  Went to a Miami vs FL State game once wearing my NE gear (we were playing later that day) and was cheering for the Canes.  These totally drunk Canes fans were psyched because NE fans were cheering for them.  It was funny because they were so wasted - they thought we were bringing them good luck (back in the days when NE was great).  That game went back and forth and the Canes did end up winning it.  Great time - shame they can't fill the stadium though... with time.  Agree you got a good coach.  Glad he elected to stay and turn it around.

None best news of the day! Glad to hear things are better. My daughter left for Australia for a year last night passing through Singapore as a long stop over. Back to Football. Everyone seems to be doing very well. Sorry about Texas but you will rebound. We'll see about Michigan in the second half of the season. But not a bad start with ND. Still Bama and the O are the teams to beat. Ya very nice for the Miami!

Your man Tom Osborne was the speaker at the Little Rock Touchdown Club this week! I didn't go but heard he was a class act

Back in the fun Orange Bowl days? They play in Dolphins stadium, now. The Orange Bowl was torn down to make way for the Marlins stadium.

The Florida game was actually sold out! Lot's of alumni from UF as well as U of M live down here.

Yes - very glad that Golden decided to stay around! Between the sanctions that have been hanging over our heads for 2+ years, and Shalala's position on the importance of academics (love her!) - I'm sure recruiting talent is not easy :-)

Bye week for us. Good luck to everyone's teams! Safety first!

Not a pretty game for the Hogs, but we will take the win! 24 to 3 but our starting QB was out after running for our 1st TD with a shoulder injury! Second string is a JC transfer who has not played any for us yet! The good news is both our RB had over 100 yards for the 3rd game in a row! Our freshman RB is the first fr to have over 100 yards in his first 3 games since Adrian Peterson!

Bean, y'all's game was the same time as ours but I was pumped when I saw the score of 21 to 3 ... Dang that is tough to have UCLA come back like that! Kind of like this A&M Bama game I am watching! Aggies came out blazing but Bama stormed back... Halftime score 28 to 14!

OMG we gave that game away.  We have a seasoned offense and a 'youthful' (almost all freshmen) defense.  The youngsters played well enough in the first half to make it a game... but the O never showed up.  The scores we got were due to an interception and their punter whiffed on a punt and we got the ball at their 20 yard line.. Our O that was supposed to score 50 a game did absolutely nothing so the young D was out on the field the entire game getting schooled.

I won't even comment on our coaching as I'd probably be banned.  Time for the BP experiment to end.

Congrats on the win Cuz.  Hope your QB is better next week and can play.

Watched the 2nd half of Bama vs A&M - fun game to watch.

Kiwi what the heck happened to MI - only 3 point win over Akron?  I didn't see the game.  Read that Wisconsin gave away the game but I was in bed before that happened.

RE OSU -  I have no idea what happened but a poster on one of our boards said they have a good friend that works in the AD and that the reporting done by SI was abysmal - not verifying facts and that they interviewed thousands to get a few to speak.  The media has become a joke but not as big of a joke as the NCAA.  Their rulings are so inconsistent it isn't funny.

Barring injury, the whole country will continue to learn about the young student-athlete, whose name is Bishop Sankey. Bishop is currently leading the nation in rushing with 184.5 ypg. More importantly, Bishop is an excellent student and young man off the field.

The Huskies are slowly starting to work their way back to where they belong, in the top 10, year in and year out. Coach Sark has built the program back up the right way, from the ground up. He has built a culture that is based on community, team, and being a great student-athlete. Not just an athlete at the University of Washington.

As I now attend the UW and live in very close proximity, I have had the chance of speaking to more and more players on a personal level, and have been more than impressed with the way they carry themselves and the conversations we have had about the academic experience that the UW offers. Coach Sark has built a solid foundation based on a student-athlete experience here at the University of Washington. I will continue to applaud those programs that put being a student-athlete above being an athlete.

I will make sure that the University of Washington remains in the Scared Monkey conversation, however, I think our student-athlete's will do the talking for me every Saturday... ::MonkeyFootball::


Proud to be a student at the University of Washington!

Proud to be a member of Scared Monkey's!

Let's continue to pray that all player's remain healthy and safe throughout the rest of the football season. My condolences to the Pasquale family, UCLA, and all of BruinNation for the loss of Nick Pasquale who embodied what a student-athlete is all about. He played for the love of the game and was getting a world class education at UCLA. That is the very essence of college athletics that is too often buried beneath the Johnny Manziel stories. A kid who loves to play the game, put in the work because of the love of the game, and does it while no one is looking!


Bow Down to Washington..................... ::monkeywine2:: ::monkeywine2::

Apparently he said F"&$ you Patrino to the new Idaho coach after last Saturdays game!!! Bobby Patrino's brother Paul! Then they had to be separated...lol!
Wreck, I can see why you are a little heated... Keep us informed!
Bean... Looks like Bo had to start begging for forgiveness... Are the majority buying it?
Hogs played OK for 3 quarters  then fell apart in the 4th quarter to let Rutgers take the game!! Hate it but now comes the best part .... Next 4 games... A&M ...Florida... South Carolina... Alabama ... 2 top 10 and 2 top 20😳. We really needed to win last Sat because I don't know when we will win next!!! Oh we'll.. I am not a fair weather fan... GO HOGS....

Cuz it is really bad.  I was AT that Ohio State game and the fans did NOT leave that game.  It rained the whole game and you can clearly watch the ending on Utube and the stadium is nearly full and it is louder than hell.  From what I've read Bo thought he had the Ohio State job in the bag and that is why he said about the fans "they can kiss my xxx cuz I'm outta here".  Bo has an ego that is bigger than his abilities.  He loves his players but he has never ever ever let his guard down enough to the press, Tom Osborne, the fans.  There are hundreds of stories and probably many more tapes out there where Bo is just a plain d i c k . 

I'm a diehard and have worn red every single day we play a game regardless of what state I'm in... until last Saturday.  Instead of watching the game on TV and sporting my red I supported my nephew.  I went to his soccer game.  He is 9. 

If I had to place a bet I would say Bo is gone regardless of how many wins we get this year.  And with the defense he has put on the field there will be many more embarrassments.  I feel so badly for our young players on D.  It isn't their fault.  80% or MORE of our starters are true or redshirt freshmen.  The reason?  Because Bo can't recruit and because he can't develop those he brings in.  How could you NOT have success at recruiting D linemen after coaching Ndamakong Suh? GMAB

I can't even read the sports section any more - my stomach just churns.

8 (EIGHT) SEC teams in the top 25 - WOW !!

Forced to watch son's games over the internet but they were really improving until this past weekend's loss on the road. Got to see son scowl standing next to the HC, just doggone mad I guess. Of course who am I to talk, I'm yelling at my laptop like a maniac  ::MonkeyShocked::

Son's team got new uniforms two weeks ago, they did a promo over youtube and his girlfriend sent me the link. Well son was the model for the uniforms, they put him in his old number and I admit I cried to see him suited up again. I sure miss those days.

This does seem to be a really challenging season for many, hope we all survive it !!

This week on campus, I pay tribute to the Dawgfather! Coach James, I have a feeling your spirit will be walking the campus at The University of Washington, the shores of Montlake, and the sidelines of Husky Stadium for all of eternity. As I walk into Husky Stadium on these cold, Fall, Saturday afternoons, that slight breeze coming off of Lake Washington will always remind me you are not to far off..Did you play a part in me wanting to be a Husky? I'm sure, just a little bit.....Dreams do come true!

P.S. That's the best Oregon team I've seen Klaas. Good luck the rest of the way!

Just a side note from last weeks Michigan game against Indiana. A wide receiver Jeremy Gallon had 369 yds receiving which set the Big Ten record and 2nd on the FBS of all time. Kind of remarkable considering all the wide receivers having played in the NFL that played in college. So we'll see which team shows up for the rest of the season game to game. Good luck to all.  Some pretty good teams out there in the top 5.

Secondary thoughts...............

The grass is not always greener. Nebraska left the Big 12 (or whatever # of teams we have :)  )  Somewhat mixed results in Big 10  ...  Texas has pretty much sucked since you left ... A&M moved to the SEC  and has done better pretty much because of 1 player (Manziel) who  will leave after this year (already 2 losses) .. and Missouri who did not play anyone until their loss this past weekend. Business as usual.  ::CowboySmiley:: ::CowboySmiley::

Thanks for the update -  we don't get all the Big 12 games anymore so good to know what's happening.  Re the grass being green - we would suck regardless of what conference we were in.  Indeed Taylor M has not helped our cause and why Bo has stuck with him noone can figure out.  I can see us losing the majority of our games.  Lots of blame to go around.  This is deja vu so I know the next couple months will be ugly.

Sorry Sharon - just seeing your post.  Saw the score but didn't see your game as I went to Lincoln for our game.  I think FL State is for real this year so don't feel too bad if you lose to a good team.  Who you got next?

Took my niece to our game and we had a blast.  Sunny and perfect weather.  We tried to lose the game but had a miracle happen with four seconds left - you probably saw the highlight reel.  It was insanely fun the way everyone went nuts.  We needed something to cheer about.  Michigan is up next.  Kiwi's team is favored by a touchdown.  We are really hurt on offense - I mean 6 starters out.  3 of them on the line.  Ouch.

Bama and ORegon both played "bye" this week and beat the crap out of them.  ::MonkeyHaHa::

Congrats on the awesome win, Frijole :). Fun to watch!

Yup - we got spanked pretty bad by FSU as everyone predicted :) We dropped from #7 to #14!

But the worst part was losing Duke Johnson for the rest of the season. I hope the promising young man fully heals after his surgery for the broken ankle.

We keep finding ways to fall apart!!  But the CRAZY thing that happened was the fake injury Auburn pulled!! If you didn't hear about it google it... Very shady! And ESPN would show Gus Malzahn complaining pre season about teams using fake injuries to slow down Auburns hurry up offense!! It was humorous! Going to be bad blood between Gus and Brett Bielema for sure now!
Cannot wait to see how everything pans out this year.. Oregon vs Bama or Florida State will be fun! Just don't want Ohio State to get in... I wouldn't mind seeing their band tho.. Lol!! They are awesome!

I must say I thought Baylor would beat OK, but I did not see Stanford beating the Ducks. They seem to have their number as for all but the final 5 minutes of the game I did not even recognize who Oregon was in the game.

Look for Stanford to vault ahead of Ohio St. in BCS.

Sorry Klaas - I cheered the Ducks on but Stanford played solid - man it was like watching Husker teams from long long ago.  I got sick watching that. Credit them for not giving up and making it close at the end though.

Kiwi - you still around?  We got a game this weekend and both fanbases are feeling the same about the game.  Our team is so psychotic here's my prediction - either you beat the crap out of us (another national embarrassment) or we come from behind and pull of the upset in the last few seconds.  As you can tell I need to seek treatment.  lol

Conventional wisdom says that if Alabama and Florida St win out, they will play for the final BCS National Championship Game.

But this is college football and anything is possible. We have seen over the years major upsets that have turned the BCS on its ear. I personally believe that there is a lot of football to be played.

However, it is also the reason why I have always wanted a playoff system in NCAA football and it would be easy to incorporate the bowls in the mix, if they wanted to. I think there should be 8 teams not 4. I think that there should not be a month off before the teams play. Why can't they play 3 games over a 5 week period? And have the final game 1 week after New Years? 

I am a traditionalist and actually miss not having all the Bowl games on New Years Day. So even with a top 8, I still think they can keep all the Bowls in tack because anyone who is playing a lesser Bowl like the Music City Bowl knows they are not winning a National Championship. Also, anyone playing in a BCS Bowl knows they are not either, because only the 2 teams in the Championship game can.

I say make it top 8, that usually is a good sampling of the contenders vs. pretenders. Will there always be teams that are disappointed, of course. Heck, NCAA basketball had 64 teams and teams on the outside looking in complain.

Remember when that was the one day out of the year when we were able to see the most games of any day like 8 to 9 games? But instead they spread it out to one game a day for $'s.

I just went thru my cable schedule today and w/o counting access to any on special sports packages I will have access to watch 26 games.

Any thoughts?

One of the real good stories of the 2013 college football season is what is going on with the Minnesota Golden Gophers and them playing for their head coach who struggles to control his epilepsy.

Minnesota beats Penn State to earn fourth straight win
http://scores.espn.go.com/ncf/recap?gameId=333130135

Quote
Since head coach Jerry Kill took a leave of absence from the job to treat his epilepsy, the Gophers haven't lost. He has gradually reassumed his responsibilities and watched the past four games from the coaches' box above the field. The Minnesota students chanted "Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!" as the final seconds of the game ticked down, and the Gophers players sprinted across the field to repossess the Governor's Victory Bell trophy for the first time since 2004. Penn State won the previous four meetings
.
 ::snipping3::

Gophers football: Minnesota rings up fourth straight win
http://**/sports/ci_24491516/gophers-football-minnesota-rings-up-fourth-straight-win

Quote
But this University of Minnesota football team has made those wins an expectation. And the goals are much higher.

The team has won four straight Big Ten games for the first time since 1973. The eight-win mark has been reached for the first time since 2003 -- and only the fourth time in the past 45 years.

It seems like ages ago that this team started the season 0-2 in the conference. But the Gophers (8-2, 4-2) haven't forgotten how bad it was then.

Red,

Yeah my team got beat by that MN team - I think it was the first game the coach didn't coach.  Glad to see it wasn't a one day thing.  ::MonkeyHaHa::  Seriously it is cool to see them winning.  I'm not sure if Coach Kill will be able to keep it up as the stress of the game is impossible to lessen.  Even as a fan it can get to you!

Re the playoffs - we'll see how it goes with the top 4.  Should be interesting.  No doubt the current system is just about the money - and ironically they shoot themselves in the foot because fanbases are not willing to dish out big bucks to go to some of the ridiculous match ups they have put together the last few years.

Son's team has had a challenging season but finally got a good conference win on the road. I"m heading out next week to spend T-Giving with him and to make the game post the holiday, then back to the west coast. If they make a bowl maybe I can make it for that one as well - we shall see.

War Damn Eagle ::HelloKitty::

Hey Cadillac, check out your Auburn Tigers ... #4 in the AP polls this week
http://espn.go.com/college-football/rankings/_/poll/1

The SEC flexes their muscle as they have 4 teams in the Top 10.

Obviously if the Crimson Tide and Seminoles win out, the BCS Championship game is set, but what if that does not happen? The situation with FLA St QB and rape allegations are a wild card.
Also, say Bama loses to Auburn in the "Iron Bowl" and the Tigers go to the SEC Championship Game. And the Missou Tigers beat #12 Texas A&M next week and go to the SEC Champ game as well.

I would say that it is completely believable that the winner of the SEC Championship game would leap-frog Ohio St and play in the BCS Champ Game. In Auburn's case it would mean that a #4 Auburn team would win in back to back week's against 2 time defending champion #1 Alabama and then defeat #5 Missouri.

In #5 Missouri's case, they would have beat #12 Texas A&M in final game of regular season, then play either #1 Bama or a #2 or #3 Auburn team, depending on who wins the Iron Bowl. If Missou does manage to win both, how do you not make them one of the top two teams in the country?   

All Ohio St has left is a game against a disappointing Michigan team (7-4) who's biggest win is against an even more disappointing ND. So this game can do nothing but hard OSU in the rankings. Then OSU plays a#11 Michigan St in the Big 10 Championship game.     

1 Alabama (56) 11-0 1,496
2 Florida State (4) 11-0 1,444
3 Ohio State 11-0 1,375 http://espn.go.com/college-football/team/_/id/194/ohio-state-buckeyes
4 Auburn 10-1 1,294  http://espn.go.com/college-football/team/_/id/2/auburn-tigers
5 Missouri 10-1 1,202
http://espn.go.com/college-football/team/_/id/142/missouri-tigers
6 Clemson 10-1 1,196
7 Oklahoma State 10-1 1,177
8 Stanford 9-2 1,002
9 Baylor 9-1 976
10 South Carolina 9-2 960

Just saying. One way or another, a SEC team could be playing in the BCS National Championship game if Bama slips.

Nebraska left for the Big 10 after tiring of Texas  trying to control the whole conference. That led to to Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Colorado and Texas Tech exploring the  possibility of combining with the Pac 10. Things blew up and Colorado joined the Pac 12, A&M and Missouri bolted for the SEC. Now down to 8 teams, the Big 12 brought in TCU and West Virginia forming one single division of  10 teams, all playing each other every year. It's been like this since 2012.

Personally, I think we are going to all "Super Conferences" and an 8 team playoff (as a minimum) in a few years.

Wreck - that was the best on paragraph synopsis of Big 12 history ever written... concise and to the point.  I watch your team whenever I can and they look good.  You will beat OK this year. 

To all - have a great Thanksgiving!  Lots of rivalry games this weekend.

We play Iowa who someone decided is our rival.  Our 3rd string QB who happens to now be our starter (injuries) was interviewed and asked about the rivalry.  It was funny.  He said "Rival? I didn't know that.  Well I guess since we are playing for a trophy it must be one so "yes" I guess they must be rivals plus it helps you writers who have to write a story.  He's a senior living the dream since Taylor M was injured.  Five years on the bench and he now gets his time.  (He threw the hail mary pass)  Watching the smile on his face is the highlight of the season for me.  And I mean that!

Anyway good luck to everyone's teams.  Travel safe and enjoy the holiday.

THE GREATEST IRON BOWL EVER … TIGERS WIN, TIGERS WIN, TIGERS WIN … WAR EAGLE!!!

It was an Iron Bowl for the ages, the #4 Auburn Tigers stunned #1 Alabama  34-28 on the final play of the game. The Crimson Tide tried a 56 yard field goal with 1 second left on the clock to win the game when another miracle happened on The Plains. The FG was short and the Auburn Tigers’ Chris Davis ran the ball back 108 yards for a game winning touch down.

This is why we love college football!!!

One of very good friends is an Auburn grad and I think he nearly lost his mind today with today's win. We had been texting back and forth thru the game and then it happened ... The "Second" Miracle at Jordan Hare.

Damn Red... You nailed the scenario on the previous page.... Missouri and Auburn to meet in SEC championship game!! What a crazy game!!
I bet Saban sure wishes they had not added that last second to the clock now!! Auburn has lead a charmed season for sure!
Bean... I cannot believe they are going to keep Bo!! I saw his rude comments at halftime to the reporter! Then I heard his after game comments and I thought he was a goner for sure!
Well..... My beloved Razorbacks did find another way to lose Friday against LSU!!! We had the game til our pass defense folded again with a minute and a half left! Heartbreaking for the players! I was proud of the effort... We always seems to play well against LSU!!

Wreck, I think you are correct, especially when you put into context what was at stake, it was #1 vs. #4, hated rivals and Bama has been arguably one of the greatest recent dynasties in sports going for 3 straight BCS Championships.

The Play was a close second only because of the band being on the field and the trombone player getting spiked was an added plus! The call of the play was simply brilliant.

Here are some other memorable ones:

The Play - From 1982, Cal and Stanford.

I had the privilege of seeing my Auburn Tigers play again - this week in the Iron Bowl.

The celebration after the game in the stands and at Toomer's Corner was phenomenal.  Gus has revived this program.

I won't be getting any dead floral arrangements from my Bammer friends this year.

Got a second?

OMG just shoot me!  I went to Lincoln to the game on FRI then to the basketball game on SAT so got home just in time to watch the 2nd half of the Bama vs Auburn game which was INSANE - what an ending!  I cheered for Auburn I must admit.

Back to the Bo thing... we thought he was toast BEFORE his insane rants.  Not sure if you saw them all... there was the half time rudeness to the reporter, the personal foul on the coach for screaming like an ahole to the ref and hitting him with your hat, the ridiculous fake punt call and yes the postgame where he said "I'm not apologizing to anybody for anything my body of work speaks for itself blah blah blah"

Here's what I think happened... trust me our chancellor despises Bo and wants him gone and he is the one that hired the new AD to replace Tom Osborne.  The new AD has had feelers out for months in search of a replacement.  The problem is our team that isn't very good played a very very weak schedule and even then we needed a hail mary to beat Northwestern and if Penn State hadn't missed an extra point they would have beat us by 1 and no OT would have been needed.  So our 8 wins is sort of tarnished.  But still it makes it look back in the coaching world. 

From what I have gathered they did their due diligence and met with boosters (the largest ones) just this past week.  After all of that the decision was made.  That said if you read what the AD said - he did not say anything postiive about Pelini - he said we support all of our coaches, our student athletes and wish them luck in the upcoming bowl game and in the future.  Nothing about how long that is.

Many of us are praying that it isn't a done deal.  I also heard that even though TO isn't the AD he is still tight with the money men and TO doesn't want to admit he made a mistake with Bo.  TO botched the basket ball and baseball coaches and did the same thing - gave them extensions and raises a year before finally firing them. 

What is really disgusting is that about 50% of husker fans rabidly still support the AHole!  It's like Stockholm syndrome.  So not only are we stuck with the idiot but everyone is fighting about it!   This is how bad it is - I get 2 bowl tickets, airline and hotel for the bowl game as we advertise in the stadium... I am seriously considering rejecting the tickets and telling them to donate them to Make A Wish so some poor husker fan that is terminally ill can go instead.

I can't support that man any longer.  He is vile and I believe not stable.  I think he is going to go full scale postal on a ref, fan or booster someday.

Thanks for caring guys.  I'll cheer vicariously for all of your teams!!!!

Cuz - I did see the tail end of your game at the bar... holy crap you almost had them!  Kiwi - holy crap how did Michigan almost beat OSU?  So many bizarre fun games!!!  But oh that Bama/Auburn ending was one for the century!

Oh Bean, I know how you feel!!! "50% of your fans still support Bo".... I can top that!!! We have fans that still support Bobby Petrino!! Forget that he cheated, lied and hired his mistress into the athletics program... Hell he is a great football coach and won games who cares about all that other stuff!! Absolutely disgusting! Then there are the fans who are mad that our AD didn't hire Gus Malzahn! ( he was hired at Auburn on the same day that Brett Bielema was hired at Ark) there were so many variables involved that prevented Gus from being offered, going back to when he was an assistant coach under Houston Nutt and the whole Mitch Mustain fiasco! I guess what I am getting at.... Our fan base is so fractured I don't know how we will recover!!! It just sucks the whole joy out of being a fan! I HATE it!! I guess the only way out is if Bielema's system starts working and winning increases! Most coaches get at least 3 years before fans start bashing but he only has 1 year and is already hearing it! He would never admit it but I bet he wishes he had stayed st Wisconsin now!

Enough of that.... Looking forward to the games today... Going to get interesting!!
So what does everybody think about the Florida State QB being cleared? Heisman for sure now??

There are some great games:

Bedlam:
(17) Oklahoma Sooners vs. (6) Oklahoma State Cowboys  ... I am rooting for the 'Boys and think they will take it and vault themselves into a BCS Bowl.

Pac-12 Title game:
(7) Stanford (10-2, 7-2) at (11) Arizona State (10-2, 8-1) ... tricky game to pick, but with it being at ASU, think the Sun Devils will take it.

ACC Title Game at Charlotte, NC:
(1) Florida State vs.  (20)Duke ... If FSU loses just might be one of the greatest college upsets in history and would cause complete chaos with the BCS. That's why I am hoping the Seminoles lose, but I really just don't see that happening.

Big Ten Championship game with conference of 12 teams
(2) Ohio St. vs. (10) Michigan St.   ... My personal feeling is that I hope the Spartans prove Ohio St for the fraud they are. Sorry, but I don't think being undefeated in a weak conference makes you BCS Championship material. Ohio St has played nobody, the teams they have played have about a 45% winning percentage. Any honest fan has to admit that the Big 10 is down.  I am actually going to write about this later on the front page. I also am no fan of Urban Meyer, he left the Gators in chaos and now what we know about Aaron Hernandez, the coach had little to no control over team. Flash forward to present day where Meyer fails to suspend  Marcus Hall after his classless double middle finger act. I guess water seeks its own level doesn't it Urban?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdBDmjHddZU

Sorry, but if Ohio St. is not even the #2 in either SEC division. If they played in the SEC East, they would have finished 3rd behind Missouri and South Carolina. And if Ohio St. played in the SEC West they would be #5 behind Auburn, Alabama, LSU and Texas A&M.  

SEC Championship Game:

(5) Missouri vs. (3) Auburn ... WAR EAGLE!!!

Grab the chips and the beverages and let the games begin.

Some great games yesterday.  Red I don't think most in the B1G would have argued with you about OSU being overrated.  In fact most on our boards were relieved because OSU would have spanked to death by FSU.  Their schedule was very weak and the highest ranked team they beat was #23 Wisconsin.  Much better match up FSU vs Auburn.  I have no opinion on the match up as I haven't watched FSU much.  Auburn looks fantastic - key will be FSU's defense and I have no idea how good they are.

I think Stanford vs Michigan State in the Rose Bowl will be epic.  A defensive slugfest. 

Will be interesting to see how the new format works next year.

Frijole, I agree with your Rose Bowl prognostication. I think it will be like watching ESPN Classic from the 70's, early 80's where teams still played defense. Might be the best 20-17 game ever!

It is obvious that OSU was over-rated, yet that did not stop the pollsters from making them #2. I can only wonder what would have happened with the BCS polls had OSU won by 1 point after being dominated for pretty much most of the game. I just will never understand why any team is rewarded for playing a weak schedule in a conference that was down and think that just because they were undefeated, that made them #2.

I actually question the teams that Florida St. has played, the only difference is that they won by an average of 42 points a game. I mean seriously, what kind of a schedule could a team really have played by winning by that margin? And being a 28 point favorite in your conference championship game.

I wonder how FLA St will play when they face adversity?

There seem to be some interesting projected BCS Bowl matchups:
Date Bowl Matchup Projection  

Mon., Jan. 6 BCS title game BCS No. 1 vs. BCS No. 2 Florida State vs. Auburn (Think they might be setting scoring records in this one)

Wed., Jan. 1 Rose BCS vs. BCS Michigan State vs. Stanford (As Frijole said, EPIC!)

Wed., Jan. 1 Fiesta BCS vs. BCS Baylor vs. Central Florida (Hmm, hard one to call, one would like a Baylor blow out, but we have seen games like this go the way of the underdog in the Fiesta, can you say Boise St?) 

Thu., Jan. 2 Sugar BCS vs. BCS Alabama vs. Oklahoma (Wow, talk about two historic programs meeting in a Bowl. Just wonder whether Bama will have their head in it)

Fri., Jan. 3 Orange BCS vs. BCS Clemson vs. Ohio State (I sure hope OH St fixes their pass defense because if they thought Spartans had a passing attack, wait until they see Taj Boyd, Sammie Watkins & Martavis Bryant)

I was watching the games yesterday with some Auburn fans and needless to say, the back and forth roller-coaster of scoring, momentum swings and fan excitement is what makes college football so great. Needless to say they watched the OSU - Mich St game just as intently. 

I can honesty say, I think I am more a college football fan than I am a fan of one team. I have been a ND fan since I was a kid, but I can literally watch any good college FB.

I love the traditions and they went nuts on the Plains yesterday after their SEC Championship and the Ohio St loss.

Bama will destroy Oklahoma.

RE FSU guess we shall see.  Flip side is I didn't see a whole lot of defense in the SEC title game so can Auburn hold back FSU's offense?  None of us have any idea.  Each division has their own style of play and so it is impossible to really know how they will stack up.  That's what makes bowl games either fantastic or blow outs. 

Bet that was fun being with Auburn fans during that game.  Last weekend I think the entire nation (except for Tide fans) was jumping up and down when Auburn returned that last ball.  I was with my 9 year old nephew and we were jumping up and down as if we were wearing blue and orange.  It was just such a crazy ending.  I think we are all hoping to see a new team rise to the top.  Guess we'll find out who it is in January.

Agreed!

The only thing I don't like about it is that there is too long of a lay off between now and the Championship game. Any momentum that a team has now, is all gone in January. I think that is part of the reason many bowls turn out to be much different than one would expect. Some teams prepare better than others during the wait.

Absolutely - and alot of it has to do with whether the team perceives they got a 'good bowl' game. 

Example Nebraska played Washington 2 times in the same season and we beat them the first time and felt 'cheated' by being rematched.  Washington wanted the W and they beat the crap out of us.  Ironically we just found out tonight we aren't going to Tempe as expected - instead back to Florida for a rematch with Georgia who beat us last year. 

During that long period the teams that want it practice hard and those that don't get complacent and it shows up during the games which is why there are always some 'surprises'.  Makes watching them fun yet frustrating. 

And let's talk quantity - holy cow there are so many bowls it is insane.  I really liked it when they were all on Jan 1st. weekend.  Made for a few great days of good football.  I miss those days.  Oh well it will all change next year and we'll see how it goes.

Now we have rumblings that Mack Brown is to be fired and of course Saban will be offered 100 million. Seems like there is alot to the MB part of the rumor at least.  I hate to see a coach that has had success end his career like this.  Just doesn't seem right.

I agree that never should a bowl game be a game that had been played during the regular season unless for some reason they play in the Championship Game like when LSU played Alabama a couple of years ago.

Agree also with way too many Bowl games. For the life of me I do not understand why a 6-6 team is considered bowl eligible. Talk about mediocrity.

I was stunned that Chris Petersen left Boise St. I really never thought he was going to leave there. He had so many chances to leave there and go to more high profile teams than the University of Washington. I just always thought he would just stay at Boise and stated their as long as Joe Pa did at Penn St.
http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2013/12/06/chris-petersen-goes-to-washington-huskies-leaves-boise-state/3889233/

I can't see Saban leaving Bama, but then again, I was 100% wrong about Petersen. I think this past year left a bad taste in Saban's craw. Also, he is coaching the best team in what is far and above the most dominating conference in the land. Although I know that there is a tremendous amount of pressure when there is an unreal expectation to win a National Championship every year. Sometimes you want to take on a project and make it successful, rather than just feeding the beast and a fan base that is unrealistic.

I am sure there would be more firings.  and dominos falling in the coaching ranks. I am a bit shocked that Gator's coach Will Muschamp did not get the axe.

How do you fire Mack Brown when he was 1 win away from winning the Big 12 and going to a BCS Bowl? Sad state of affairs when a man gives 16 years to a University and program to get treated like this. What a terrible message.

Sad, ESPN is reporting that Brown is set to resign.

LOL If Mack Brown resigns it is all a formality to save face.  They've been reporting he's fired for weeks and just today he (Mack) said he is not stepping down.  I read it'll go down by Friday as that is senior day and they want to honor him.  OMG how ironic is that?  I know the program has slipped a bit but he made some in season adjustments to the staff that showed serious improvements.  Dang and we are stuck with Pelini who refuses to make staff changes.

I know it seems impossible - but I have been telling my Texas buddies for 6 months that Saban was no worse than 50-50 ending up at UT. Saban is is a hard-headed maverick and really has no loyalties. He has done everything he can Alabama.  Money talks. Think about it - where would Saban and his wife rather live? The hill country around Austin or Tuscaloosa?? On top of that, it is rumored that Saban was talked into investing in a big deal with Alabama boosters that went south. He is reportedly fuming. The Texas money is off the charts.

Looks like Saban staying at Alabama. Hat tip to Saban for not bolting on his newly signed agreement and honoring his commitment, not only to the University of Alabama but also his players. This puts Texas in an awkward spot. They have all but tried to run Brown out, now who would they turn to? I really cannot think of another coach even close to Saban's stature that the Long Horns could go to.

http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/10135355/nick-saban-agrees-new-deal-stay-alabama-crimson-tide
Quote
Alabama and Nick Saban have agreed to a long-term deal that will keep the four-time champion coach in Tuscaloosa, the school confirmed Friday night.

Saban's new deal was first reported by ESPN's Kirk Herbstreit.

Saban, who has recently been rumored as a candidate to replace Mack Brown at Texas, was already the highest paid coach in college football at $5.62 million per year after signing an extension in March that kept him under contract through 2020.

Alabama didn't release terms of the new deal, which must be approved by the board of trustees. The Tuscaloosa News reported the new contract will raise Saban's salary to between $7 and $7.5 million per year and further extend the length of the deal.

You are correct Frijole, Saban stays at Alabama and gets a new extended contract ... Saban says he never considered that he even contemplated Texas. Amazing what leverage does. I honestly think Saban was in the catbird seat and it would have been a win-win no matter what. Saban could go to Long Horns and become the first college coach to win national championships at 3 different colleges. Or stay at Bama and create the greatest dynasty ever.

http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/10136999/nick-saban-alabama-crimson-tide-coach-refutes-speculated-links-texas-longhorns

It turns out that Mack Brown will step down afterall after 16 years as coach. He will coach hos final game for Long Horns at the Alamo Bowl on Jan 30.

I would think that was more rumor and wishful thinking than anything else. Just can't see Harbaugh leaving SF 49ers and going back to college.

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000297918/article/jim-harbaugh-mike-tomlin-wont-leave-for-texas-job

Honestly I can't really even put my finger on who would be the next replacement. Many of the really good coaches just got extensions like Saban, Texas A&M Sumlin, Baylor's Art Briles. 
Ex-Boise St coach Chris Petersen just took Washington job

Maybe James Franklin from Vanderbilt but I just don't see it as a good fit. Urban Meyer would be the most hated man in Ohio if he ever left now for the warm and endowment rich coffers of Texas.

Maybe the coach at Stanford or Louisville?

Would Mike Gundy leave OK St for Texas, I don't see that either, but who knows in this day and age.

I read that Mike Leach is an option paired with a heavy hitter DC.  That would be something to watch... Can you imagine ML with the booster club at UT?   ::MonkeyHaHa::

Some Austin Statesman reporter tweeted that someone saying they were from NU had reached out to Mack Brown and he isn't interested.  Timing would be really stupid on that one.  I think its a social media hoax.  LORD help me.

So what did you guys think of the Heisman winner?  Not sure what to think - guess I was raised to believe it isn't just the best player award but also one of great character.... my age is showing I know...

Sadly the character issue was shattered when Johnny Football won it last year. Or Cam Newton and all the controversy that surrounded him. Oh that's right, it was just his father, sure it was.

On the Long Horn front, the "Grumors" have started as well. There is no way I can see John Gruden leaving his comfy, high paying job to go back to the sidelines unless it is to coach the Dallas Cowboys.

Well the caveat would be that Jerry Jones would have to actually care about winning and bring the Cowboys back to prominence rather than being a lunatic, narcissist, ego, head case. At some point JJ is going to have to realize his mortality and actually want to win again and be a dynasty. That requires a good coach, not a puppet. There is a reason why the Cowboys have not won since Jimmy Johnson left and I do not want to hear they won a Super Bowl under Barry Switzer. They won it in spite of Switzer and Jones and won it with the remnants of Johnson's players.

Many pro coaches do not want to go backwards into college no matter how good the job is. There are rules they have to follow in college, well most of the time. He really has no real experience coaching in college as a coordinator other than a receivers coach. That and his coaching style, I cant imagine that would play well in today's NCAA or college athlete.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Gruden

Annual Salary: $4.3 million for 17 weeks of work actually prorates to a $13 million
http://www.mandatory.com/2012/04/16/whos-the-richest-sportscaster/9

My only point was that to move Gruden out of is cush job, it would have to be big. Bigger than a college job like Texas where the boosters have far to much say.

I can see Gruden taking only two jobs, the Dallas Cowboys (with above exceptions) and Patriots if  Belichick ever stepped down. I could see Craft and Gruden working perfect together.

I have to admit that the Bowls this far have been a bit underwhelming. I thought some of the games would have been better, sadly they were not.

Best games so far have been

Best performance has been Teddy Bridgewater (QB) of Louisville. I knew he was good, did not realize he was that good as he shredded the U's defense.
http://scores.espn.go.com/ncf/boxscore?gameId=333620097

Other than the national championship game, looking forward to the following games:



* Chick-fil-A BOWL: Duke vs. Texas A&M - Should be interesting to see Johnny Football play and go out with a bang for that performance that launches his draft status.
* Any SEC - Big 10 match up
* Orange Bowl: Clemson vs. Ohio St
* ALAMO BOWL: Texas vs. Oregon - Will be interested to see if Long Horns play inspired ball for an out-going Mack Brown
* Rose Bowl: Mich St vs. Stanford - Is a Big 10 defense top defense really that good when they have played such bad offenses in their league? A 4 v. 5 is a pretty good match up for the 100th Grand Daddy of em all.

How about the rest of ya?

Well -- I should have said they have not had a decent QB since Colt McCoy ................. but, I stand by the general statement that Texas should NEVER go 4-5 years without a top-notch QB. They have the choice of any QB in the state each and every year!

I'm sort of surprised about this but.... I spent some time reading on their board after the 'controversy' and the board I read had an almost 'cultish' like atmosphere - kind of scary the way they idolized Joe Pa.  Blind faith stuff.  Can't articulate it really but it freaked me out what they were saying and I can totally see how it would be impossible to work there.  I think BOB did a fantastic job during his tenure at Penn State and I am sorry to see him leave as I think he was a great role model and a refreshing change for them.  Too bad it didn't work out.

Tennessee Titans fire head coach Mike Munchak.
http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/10242606/mike-munchak-fired-tennessee-titans

This is interesting seeing that all of Nashville, TN radio was reporting that he was staying. Oops. However, this team needs to clean house after yet another failed season. Also, the Titan front office best figure out they they better become a little more fan-friendly and market to the community. There are many other things to do in Nashville on a Sunday than watch bad football.

Quote
The Tennessee Titans fired coach Mike Munchak, the Hall of Fame offensive lineman who's been with the Oilers/Titans franchise for more than 30 years, on Saturday.

Munchak compiled a three-season mark of 22-26 and did not take the team to the playoffs, even after late owner Bud Adams signed off on free-agent contracts worth over $100 million in the spring.

Others to go:

Houston Texans fire DC Wade Phillips after they had previously fired head coach Gary Kubiak and hired new head coach, former Penn St Coach Bill O'Brian
Washington Redskins fire Mike Shanahan
Detroit Lions fire Jim Schwartz
Cleveland Browns fire Rob Chudzinski
Minnesota Vikings fire Leslie Frazier
Tampa Bay Bucs fire Greg Schiano and general manager Mark Dominik

Personally I think the Cleveland Browns firing of Chudzinski was BS after only one year. I mean really, how can anyone get any idea what one is capable of after 1 year? Anyone who takes this job with the Browns better just get a month to month rent on a home.

Also, I was a bit surprised that the Raiders did not fire their coach, they are usually good for a premature firing after a bad season. Also, I thought that Rex Ryan or the Jets and Jason Garrett of Cowboys should have been fired. Since when is a 500 record and not making the playoffs consistently rewarded?

Actually Bama-OK was not in my top 5 because it felt like Alabama did not come prepared to play. I was a bit disappointed that it looked more like their Sugar Bowl against Utah than it did an inspired effort. Which is sad because I think Bama fans and their players have become a little spoiled that its either National Championship or nothing. I give OK a lot of credit but I think Stoops is an idiot. Can any team beat another, yeah, especially in Bowl when teams take way too much time off between games and as Forest Gump says, Bowl games are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you might get :-)

I am a college football fan and am willing to admit what conference happens to be the best. Right now it is the SEC, far and away from top to bottom and that's with a weak Florida program.

I will age myself, but there was a time when the South West Conference was the best and there was a time that the Big 10 could lay claim to it. I am not sure if the Big 8 could only because for years there was just OK and Nebraska and the rest were eh. But for a couple of years the Big 12 was up there with OK, Neb, K-State, Kansas, Mizzou.

I believe that if Bama had played OK in the regular season and it meant being part of being #1, Bama would have won.

That being said I give the Sooners credit for their victory and showing up to play.

THE GREATEST IRON BOWL EVER … TIGERS WIN, TIGERS WIN, TIGERS WIN … WAR EAGLE!!!

It was an Iron Bowl for the ages, the #4 Auburn Tigers stunned #1 Alabama  34-28 on the final play of the game. The Crimson Tide tried a 56 yard field goal with 1 second left on the clock to win the game when another miracle happened on The Plains. The FG was short and the Auburn Tigers’ Chris Davis ran the ball back 108 yards for a game winning touch down.

This is why we love college football!!!

One of very good friends is an Auburn grad and I think he nearly lost his mind today with today's win. We had been texting back and forth thru the game and then it happened ... The "Second" Miracle at Jordan Hare.

Red, I was at son's game that day - terrible loss so we went to a great sports bar after with he, new girlfriend and her parents. I was sitting across the table from son as he watched that game and his face watching Davis run that ball back for the win. I only wish I had gotten video of his face........

The NCAAF coach's convention starts tomorrow in Indianapolis, son was flying there today and texting about the delays and hinky route they had to take - down to Orlando then back to Indy? Anyway, everyone please send him good karma, he's got 3 interviews scheduled for possible full position coach jobs in D-1. He's ready to step into the future, anxious to do so.

SUPER BOWL SUNDAY ...

Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks

IMO I think the game will hinge not on the weather, but whether the officials actually allow the game to be played on the field. If the refs allow Seattle to play defense, the Seahawks will win. If the refs allow no clutching, no holding and call everything, Denver will win big.

I am a traditionalist and in many cases cannot stand the video game that the NFL has become. There used to be a saying that defense wins championships. However, that was in a time where you were actually allowed to play defense.

As I've had a few Husky players in my classes over the past few quarters, I've had the opportunity to discuss the coaching change. Unequivocally, they say Coach Petersen and his staff carry themselves in a much more professional way, on and off the field, then the previous "Frat boy" coaching regime. They say chemistry is becoming much better and that they can tell Coach Pete is a guy with much more character and integrity then the previous regime. I'm really excited to see the game day difference and how the overall philosophy of how they run a team translates to Saturday's. Go Huskies! Hope all is well with all the Monkey's and their families.

Son is still coaching as a grad assistant coach for offense - they lost to a top ten team by only one TD. After two years of hard work, they are on their way up and surprising a few folks. Offense was on fire

I would say at this time the top 10 teams in NCAA Div I are:

1. Oregon Ducks - (The poise they showed against MSU and then blowing them out was impressive.)
2. Auburn Tigers - (Look solid and QB Nick Marshall looks great, much better than last year, if possible and looks like he has learned how to throw)
3. Georgia Bulldogs - (The only team who has played two non-cupcakes in weeks one and two)
4. Florida St. - (Last year was last year. Sorry, they have not played anyone and have not looked good doing so)
5. Oklahoma Sooners - (Have yet to be tested, LA Tech and Tulsa, really OK?)
6. Alabama - (QB play will determine how far Tide goes this year)
7. Texas A&M - (Johnny who? A&M looks better than last year and appears to have a defense)
8. LSU -
9. Baylor - Offense looks as good as ever, need the defense to go with it. Still need to get over the hump and beat Sooners in Norman)
10. North Dakota State - Just because they are my new found favorite team. These kids play the game like it should be. Of course I am a little bias having played for a smaller college team in Div. III.

I will say this, when it comes to the end of the year and the final 4 for the Div. I playoffs, there should be no mention of any BIG 10 team. This conference needs to get a lot better or pretty soon the MAC will replace it in the power conference ratings.

Red was pretty close to the new rankings out this morning, the Ducks are reigning Klaas - gotta give them more props!

Son actually had a day off due to bye week and was able to tailgate and make a game (SEC) with his girlfriend at her alma mater. She was on the cheerleading squad in college so she understands son's football mania  ::MonkeyWink::

I may be at the next two games for son's team, resigning from the most awful job in the morning and heading off to a new one. Say a prayer for me, it has to be up from here.

None- good seeing you here too! How's the new job? Tried to figure out sons team but that only leaves 119 other possibilities.
Red- have to agree the Big Ten is having its problems. With the loss of a QB for Ohio State there isn't much there. I did think that MSU held well until the half against the Ducks.  I can't even begin to explain how Michigan could have more total yards than ND and get shut out that badly. Devin Gardner can have 750 yards one game and lose it completely the next. Maybe some of his choices will improve with time this season.
So where is Bean? and the rest out there?

Hi Kiwi, good to 'see' you too. How is your family? Son's team is a southern team, was at the bottom of the barrel last season and really coming together this season. Another win yesterday, not as challenging a team as a top ten from the game prior, but losing by only one TD in the last 2 minutes to the #10 ranked team was a moral victory. Next week is against an SEC team and I will be at the game  ::MonkeyCheer3:: - here's a hint, the pom-poms on this monkey are the right color! With moving to yet another state for this job I will actually be able to make several more of son's games, so that's the added benefit.

I think this season is exhibiting some unusual inconsistencies and the Ducks do appear to be the team to beat. Both of son's alma maters won big ones yesterday, I was watching football all day long !! Great to be at home with daughter for a change so I made gameday carnitas (learned from my time in San Diego) and we had a grand football day. Not often all 3 teams you're pulling for have great wins!

Where is Bean? Sharon? I miss everyone........

IMO ... Power Conference Rankings are as follows:

1. SEC WEST - Auburn, Alabama, Texas A&M, Mississippi, LSU & Mississippi St - all ranked in the Top 20.
2. SEC WEST - Auburn, Alabama, Texas A&M all ranked within the Top 10.
3. PAC 10 - Oregon probably the #1 in the Country but untested. UCS, UCLA and Arizona solid. Stanford seems a bit down this year but always a good team.
4. Big 12 - Although other than Oklahoma and Baylor and maybe OK State, I am hard pressed to find any other team in a conference called the Big 12 with only 10 teams that deserves to be mentioned.
5. ACC - On the strength of FLA St and maybe teams like upcoming programs like Pitt, GA Tech and UVA. However, not sold on the Seminoles but they have no one in the ACC that can beat them.
6. Independents - Notre Dame, BYU and Navy are a combined 9-2. Throw in the Black Knights of Army and its 10-4.
7. SEC EAST - Division is down this year because of the loss of too many QB's and talent to the NFL but Georgia, South Carolina can beat pretty much anyone. Programs like Kentucky and Tennessee are on the rise.
8. Missouri Valley - From FCS, Div 1AA ... this conference consists of North Dakota State, Illinois St, South Dakota St, Northern Iowa and Missouri St who take on the big boys and play them well and in many cases win. GO BISONS!!!
9. Conference USA - Middle Tennessee St, LA Tech, Old Dominion, Marshall and UTEP can play with any of the big boys. The Thundering Herd of Marshall probably have one of the best QB's in the country Rekeem Cato.

10. BIG 10. If this conference keeps up their poor play they will lose the right to call themselves, "BIG". As it is they have 14 teams, hmm Big 10? Ohio St and Michigan have been a joke. They can barley defeat anyone in another power conference, let alone Div. 1AA. The talent level has slipped badly in the Big 10. It does not matter if either Penn St or Nebraska go undefeated, they will have played no one. Even a one loss MSU Spartan team is not worthy of being in the Final 4.

Unless things change dramatically, I see the final 4 being two teams from the SEC West and then the final two being either Oklahoma, Oregon or FSU.

However, if all three are undefeated, the PC culture will have the final 4 being the champions of the SEC, Big 12, ACC and PAC 10.

This might not be the worst thing in the world because the SEC will then demand that 8 teams be in the NCAA National title hunt. Which is a better cross section of talent to determine a champion.

My New Top 10 as of Week 8, Oct 12, 2014: (prior to release of AP)

What a College Football Season for the Magnolia State of Mississippi!!!

1. Mississippi State - The Bull Dogs have beat LSU, Auburn and Texas A&M. Three straight regular season wins against Top 10 teams. No one has that resume.
http://espn.go.com/college-football/team/_/id/344/mississippi-state-bulldogs
2. Ole Miss - The Rebels are 6-0 for the first time since the 1960's with wins against Alabama, Boise St and a dismantling of Texas A&M in College Station. The Ole Miss defense is for real.
http://espn.go.com/college-football/team/_/id/145/ole-miss-rebels
3. Baylor - Right now the Bears are the best of the Big 8. The showdown will be on 11/8 at Oklahoma to determine the conference winner.
4. Florida State - Sorry, but FSU has played nobody and the ACC has no good teams this year. A lot will be made out of next week's Notre Dame game, but they too are way too highly over-rated this year and I am a ND fan.
5. Auburn - The Tigers are the best 1 loss team in the country. Their schedule is the most difficult in college football.
6. Georgia
7. Notre Dame - Their entire season hinges on the Florida State game; however, even if they go undefeated I am not sure if I would out them in the top 4. Remind you, I am a huge Fighting Irish fan. Just realistic.
8. Oregon
9. Alabama - With no consistent QB play, the Tide is in trouble.
10. Michigan State

Another bizarre weekend in college football. Who knew Arkansas would test MS State ??? ECU breaks into the top 25 only to be beaten by Temple ??? Ole Miss & Auburn in a dead heat - and Florida beats UGA??

The terps refuse to shake hands at the coin toss with Penn State???? Even with the post game apology that is a real sign of the times that fights like thugs are happening even before the game starts.

Klaas - looks like your Ducks are doing well against Stanford. Son's team had another win this week, I was able to make their game last weekend and my godson met me there. Snuck away with son post his meetings the night before the game for a visit and a late dinner, have to say it's such a treat for me whenever he has time during the season for family. He finishes grad school at the end of this quarter and so the drive to find his next real position is real and vivid for him now. Glad his team has improved so much and he's played a big role with the offense and their young QB, hopefully it will help. The most fun for me is watching him signal in all of the plays during the games.

So where is Frijole? Her Huskies had another win today. Great Owl's team lowered the boom on poor Rutgers, those kinds of blow-out's are hard on the heart for the losing team. I hope everyone is having a good weekend and finding something to cheer about in the ups and downs of college football.

After another exciting weekend of college football that saw BAMA beat Miss St, If I was doing the college playoffs, these would be my top 4 teams. Take into account, unlike what it would appears that the committee does not consider strength of schedule or a win close against a lame team that that should be a blowout, I do. I think we all have the common sense of what is called the Monkey eye test.  
::MonkeyFootball::

1. Alabama
2. Oregon
3. Florida St.
4. Mississippi State

With all due respect to the following teams, when you are in a weak conference and playing even weaker teams, you do not get rewarded for barely getting by. If there was a stronger team out there with one loss who was convincing, I would have no problem taking FLA ST. out of the top 4 as I do not believe that barely beating 4 opponents, 4 of which who were unranked and 1 who was over-rated and now out of the top 25  anything to be proud of.

On the outside looking in:

TCU - Sorry, you can't struggle against Kansas (3-7) with a 34-30 win and expect to be in the top 4. You lost to Baylor and beat an OK team that is no longer in the Top 25, beat a West VA team no longer in the Top 25 and an OK State that is out of the Top 25 and may not even be bowl eligible at seasons end. Problem facing the Big 12 is the fact they have no Championship game. All the other power 5 conferences do.

Arizona St. - The loss this weekend to an unranked Oregon St 35-27 pretty much ends their run. Even if they manage to win the PAC-12 South, hard to believe they can beat Oregon.

Baylor
- They just have not played anyone. Their only important one was the win against TCU. They played no out of conference schedule which can explain why in 3 games they out-scored their opponents 178-27. They would have had better competition against Cedar Hill, Allen or Katy ... the best High school teams in Texas. They finish up with OK St, Texas Tech and K State, a combined record of 15-14. Baylor may actually win the Big 12, but they may still fall behind TCU.

Ohio State - Really, does anything really need be said? It's the BIG 10. When the new AP polls come out this week there is be only 3 teams out of 14 in this conference ranked in the TOP 25, OSU, Michigan St and Wisconsin. Their remaining games are against Indiana & Michigan, who have a combined record of 8-12 and a BIG ten record of 3-9. We had to listen all week about Ohio State's statement win yet they barely beat an inferior Minnesota team. Sorry, the Buckeyes don't even come close to the Top 4.

Problem facing the Big 12 is the fact they have no Championship game. All the other power 5 conferences do.

Arizona St. - The loss this weekend to an unranked Oregon St 35-27 pretty much ends their run. Even if they manage to win the PAC-12 South, hard to believe they can beat Oregon.

Baylor
- They just have not played anyone. Their only important one was the win against TCU. They played no out of conference schedule which can explain why in 3 games they out-scored their opponents 178-27. They would have had better competition against Cedar Hill, Allen or Katy ... the best High school teams in Texas. They finish up with OK St, Texas Tech and K State, a combined record of 15-14. Baylor may actually win the Big 12, but they may still fall behind TCU.

Ohio State - Really, does anything really need be said? It's the BIG 10. When the new AP polls come out this week there is be only 3 teams out of 14 in this conference ranked in the TOP 25, OSU, Michigan St and Wisconsin. Their remaining games are against Indiana & Michigan, who have a combined record of 8-12 and a BIG ten record of 3-9. We had to listen all week about Ohio State's statement win yet they barely beat an inferior Minnesota team. Sorry, the Buckeyes don't even come close to the Top 4.


Almost right...

1. Oregon
2. Alabama
3. Florida St.
4. Mississippi State

none- Your sons team is doing very well, even better than his Alma mater! Definitely a bowl possibility next month. Tell him to keep up the great job!
Yes where is Bean these days Nebraska is doing great! 

Thanks Kiwi, was able to make their last game over Tgiving and have to say they played 'up' with more discipline since they had less pure talent on their team. Good to see the progress and waiting now to see what their bowl assignment will be.  ::MonkeyCheer3::

I am so out of the loop I only heard yesterday that Bo was replaced at Nebraska and have to make time to read up and discover why?

Working again today but really excited to say that with my first cloud implementation for F&A, HRIS, & CRM that we are 100K under budget for this year and 35 days ahead of schedule with testing?  ::MonkeyDance::

After another exciting weekend of college football that saw BAMA beat Miss St, If I was doing the college playoffs, these would be my top 4 teams. Take into account, unlike what it would appears that the committee does not consider strength of schedule or a win close against a lame team that that should be a blowout, I do. I think we all have the common sense of what is called the Monkey eye test.  
::MonkeyFootball::

1. Alabama
2. Oregon
3. Florida St.

With all due respect to the following teams, when you are in a weak conference and playing even weaker teams, you do not get rewarded for barely getting by. If there was a stronger team out there with one loss who was convincing, I would have no problem taking FLA ST. out of the top 4 as I do not believe that barely beating 4 opponents, 4 of which who were unranked and 1 who was over-rated and now out of the top 25  anything to be proud of.

On the outside looking in:

TCU - Sorry, you can't struggle against Kansas (3-7) with a 34-30 win and expect to be in the top 4.

Alabama, Oregon and Florida State and Ohio State will join  in the inaugural College Football Playoff.

http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/11992914/college-football-playoff-alabama-crimson-tide-oregon-ducks-florida-state-seminoles-ohio-state-buckeyes-inaugural-playoff
Quote
The No. 1 Crimson Tide will face the No. 4 Buckeyes in the Allstate Sugar Bowl, and the second-seeded Ducks will face the third-seeded Seminoles in the Rose Bowl presented by Northwestern Mutual, both on New Year's Day.

The 12-member selection committee bumped TCU from the top four in favor of the Buckeyes, who defeated Wisconsin 59-0 in the Big Ten championship game on Saturday.

The Horned Frogs, ranked No. 3 in the previous rankings, dropped to No. 6, behind Florida State, Ohio State and Big 12 rival Baylor. Without Baylor and TCU in the College Football Playoff, the Big 12 loses out on $6 million for having one team in the playoff field.

WOW, what a bunch of crap, but I say let's do it. I am looking forward to Alabama introducing Ohio St. to SEC football. Winning a bad conference does not make you top 4.

How in the hell does the committee drop a team in TCU from #3 to #6 and all they did was win 55-3 against Iowa St. This love affair with the Big Ten is the biggest bunch of BS I have seen in years. It gets worse, Baylor does not get the 4 spot either. Sorry, but the power ranking of the best 5 Power conferences is:
1. SEC
2. PAC 12
3. BIG 12
4. ACC and BIG TEN tied for last. A distant last place.
http://espn.go.com/college-football/rankings

FINAL RANKINGS
1.   Alabama      12-1
2.   Oregon      12-1
3.   Florida State   13-0
4.     Ohio State           12-1

1. Alabama vs. 4. Ohio St. in the Sugar Bowl, Jan 1.
2. Oregon vs. Florida St. in the Rose Bowl

My prediction, Alabama and Oregon will be playing for the National Championship.

BAMA is going to introduce the Buckeyes to what it means to play quality football. The Big Ten has been a joke this year and every team they deemed good like Nebraska, Wisconsen, Michigan St. and Ohio St have all been over-rated. Giving Saban multiple weeks to prepare his defense and the Crimson Tide playing a meaningful game spells bad news for OSU.

If FSU had trouble with Georgia Tech's offense, I can't imagine what they are going to do with the tempo and high powered Quack Attack. FSU's luck is going to run out in the Rose Bowl.

QUACK ATTACK ... Way to go Klaas, The Ducks were unstoppable.

Personally, I did not think that FSU had a chance against Oregon. The Ducks keep their foot on the gas at all times, FSU has barely won all year is a bad conference. Let alone, it took a questionable last second offensive pass interference call against ND to keep Florida St undefeated. Even thought FSU was undefeated, I did not think they were even in the top 5 in college football.

When I say FSU play the same game they had all year, behind at half and thinking they would pull it out in the second half, I knew the game was over. The Ducks did not disappoint, the cleaned their clocks.

I am taking the Ducks over Ohio St in National Championship game.

Congratulations to Ohio State and the Big Ten for the first playoff National Championship. Without a playoff system they never would have played for the NC. Two very hard fought games at least they didn't end with plays like the Detroit Dallas game and Dallas Greenbay games. Where off to the Super Bowl NFL games now. Of the 4 left I would pick the Patriots slightly over Seattle. At least the last 4 teams are pretty good.

Son is at the coach's convention hoping to make the right connection for his next position, happy to say his team made the top 25! From the bottom of the barrel in 2014 to the top 25 (at least on one list) - more than a miracle just due to all the hard work of many this required.

NCAA Announces They Will Restore Previously Vacated 112 Penn State Football Wins Making Joe Paterno Again the Winningest Coach in Major College Football History

http://scaredmonkeys.com/2015/01/16/ncaa-announces-they-will-restore-previously-vacated-112-penn-state-football-wins-making-joe-paterno-the-winningest-coach-in-major-college-football-history/

Quote
MOVE OVER BOBBY BOWDEN, JOE PA IS BACK TO BEING THE WINNINGEST FOOTBALL COACH IN MAJOR COLLEGE FOOTBALL HISTORY …

Joe Paterno, the late head coach of the Penn St. Nittany Lions, is back to being the winningest coach in major college football history. The NCAA announced on Friday that they would restore 112 wins by the school’s football team that were wiped out in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky child molestation sex scandal. The deal still must be approved by the NCAA board and the Penn State board, but that is probably pretty much of a done deal. This  would return Joe Paterno’s record to 409-136-3. Wow, this is big. The NCAA just blinked. They are basically admitting they overstepped their authority in the sanctions following the Sandusky scandal.  By restoring the wins, Joe Paterno will move back to the top of college football’s all-time Division I, major college wins:

    Joe Paterno (409)
    Bobby Bowden (377)
    Paul “Bear” Bryant (323)
    Glenn Scobey Warner (319)

I wonder how long it will be before PSU brings back Joe Pa’s the statue?

This settlement certainly does not diminish the heinous and despicable actions of Jerry Sandusky and his sexual abuse. What it does is put the NCAA in its place once again and their over-reach of authority and reputation destroying. The NCAA got their hand slapped as well with the Miami football scandals too. I can only hope the victims affected by the POS Sandusky can live their lives in peace.

Quote
UPDATE I: Statement from The Paterno family:

Today is a great victory for everyone who has fought for the truth in the Sandusky tragedy. The repeal of the consent decree and the return of the wins to the University and Joe Paterno confirm that the NCAA and the Board of Trustees acted prematurely and irresponsibly in the unprecedented sanctions the NCAA imposed on the University, the players, coaches and the community.

This case should always have been about the pursuit of the truth, not the unjust vilification of the culture of a great institution and the scapegoating of coaches, players and administrators who were never given a chance to defend themselves.

For nearly three years, everyone associated with Penn State has had to bear the mark of shame placed upon the institution by the NCAA. It was a grievously wrong action, precipitated by panic, rather than a thoughtful and careful examination of the facts.

Fortunately, through the tenacious efforts of Senator Jake Corman and Treasurer Rob McCord, a large measure of the wrong has been righted.  This is a major victory in our continued pursuit of justice for Penn State. The victims deserve the truth as do those who have been smeared by the deeply flawed Freeh report, which served as the basis of the actions by the Board Trustees and Penn State.

Through our pending litigation, we intend to continue the job of uncovering the full truth in this case.

NFL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME PREDICTIONS - NFC

The reasons why the Seattle Seahawks will defeat the Greean Bay Packers and head back to the Super Bowl:

1. The 12th Man - No team in the NFL has a greater home team advantage that the Seahawks. The rabid fans and noise level is unbelievable. This will hardly be the friendly confines of the 'Frozen Tundra' and Lambeau  Field for Aaron Rodgers and the Pack.

2. The Legion of Boom is back - The Seattle secondary had many injuries in the beginning of the season; however, they are now healthy and back in a big way. Cornerbacks Byron Maxwell and Richard Sherman and safeties Kam Chancellor and Earl Thomas are all playing their best when it counts. They have shut down everyone down the stretch.

3. Bobby Wagner (Middle LB) - He is healthy and easily the best MLB in the league, just ask Peyton Manning and the Broncos. His speed and ability to cover backs and TE's in stellar.

4. RB Marshawn Lynch - He is the inspirational leader of the offense and the beast is completely respected and appreciated by the hard hitting Seattle D. If the "Beast" is released, it will be a long, long day for Green Bay.

5. Kam Chancellor - He is the best safety going and can hit like a freight train. His athletic ability is beyond words. Look for him to hurdle the offense line again and block a FG if the chance arrises.

6. QB Russell Wilson - He just wins. There is nothing pretty about it at times, but he just wins.

7. The No-name Seattle WR's - Baldwin, Kearse and Lockette have been continually dissed by pundits as average and pedestrian. Really? Why is it then, that when matched up against what is considered better WR tandems and trios, they perform better and make bigger plays?

8. Green Bay QB Aaron Rodger's injured calf - Seattle defense ain't Dallas. Sorry, but it is hard enough to go into CenturyLink Field when one is healthy and come away with a victory. However, when part of your game is being mobile in the pocket and extending plays with your legs and you have a partially torn calf muscle ... GOOD LUCK.

Summary: The only real shock that the Packers have is a punchers chance, meaning the unexpected and unforeseen like turnovers, blocked kicks and injuries. Also, the Packers must rely on a running game and get at least 150 yards on the grown to win. Aaron Rodgers showed us all that he was a warrior last week and deserves the league MVP, but Seattle is not Dallas. Why the Cowboys did not pressure hm more on one leg was a kin to Game 6 on the American League Championship series between the Red Sox and Yankees, the famed "Bloody Sock" game when Schilling pitched on one leg with a torn tendon sheath in his right ankle, the Yankees never once bunted.

The key to the game is that if Seattle can get pressure with their front 4 or blitz a LB or two and cause Rodgers to hesitate and come off his first read, the game could get really ugly. Make no mistake out it, the Seahawks secondary is the best in the business. If Rodgers has to go to his second, third or fourth reads in passing plays, he will be sacked all day or throwing the ball away.

That being said, Seattle has too many freaks on defense for Rodgers and the Pack. Many are predicting a close game, I just don't see it. I would be stunned if Seattle loses this game and shocked that it is not a 14 points spread.

I know what you mean Red.  Hubby and I were watching the game ... the game I cannot comprehend ... over at youngest son's home.  There was a vested interest in the outcome.  A deal was made.  Son's American FIL would treat everybody our for dinner if the Seahawk's won and ... hubby would pay if the team lost.  I slipped home about an hour ago get some cash ... believing the Seahawks were losing.  About 15 minutes ago I turned on our TV ...  the Seahawks had won!!!  YES!!!

I'm on to Back2Back Super Bowls with my Seahawks. Hoping we can bring another one home to the Emerald City.

Seattle is a very good team, I am hoping that The PATS have returned to a team more like the balanced ones they used to have where they won 3 Super Bowls. Vegas has this game as a pick 'em. Can't get any more close than that.

GO PATS!!! Pats 30- Seahawks 20  ::MonkeyFootball:: (nervous breathing)

http://scaredmonkeys.com/2015/02/01/so-called-experts-say-who-will-win-super-bowl-xlix-and-your-choice-is-new-england-patriots-or-seattle-seahawks-go-pats/

Quote
My analysis and prediction:

Let me first qualify this that I am a die-hard New England Patriot fan from the days of Sam “Bam” Cunningham, Steve Grogan, Irving Fryar,  Stanley Morgan, Craig James, Mosi Tatupu, Randy Vataha, the late Darryl Stingley, Russ Francis, John Hannah, Mike Haynes and to one of my all time favorites Sam Adams.  To more recent players like Ben Coates, Richard Seymour, Mike Vrabel, Willie McGinest, Tedy Bruschi, Lawyer Milloy, Ty Law, Rodney Harrison,  Adam Vinatieri, Joe Andruzzi, Troy Brown, Randy Moss and Drew Bledsoe. To today’s cast of Patriots like Tom Brady, Julian Edelman, Rob Gronkowski, Nate Solder, Rob Ninkovich, Vince Wilfork, Devin McCourty, Chandler Jones and LeGarrette Blount.

Football games are made up of offense, defense, special teams and intangibles. Games like the Super Bowl generally multiply the importance of intangibles like turnovers, sacks, penalties and bad calls by referees.

THIS ONE WAS TRULY SUPER … NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS DEFEAT SEATTLE 28-24 IN ONE FOR THE AGES

http://scaredmonkeys.com/2015/02/01/this-one-was-truly-super-new-england-patriots-defeat-seattle-28-24-in-one-for-the-ages/

Congrats to Seahawk fans, this Super Bowl was truly special. Two great teams battled for 60 minutes. All Super Bowls should be like this. It was as close a game as the odds makers said it would be.

 ::MonkeyFootball::              ::MonkeyFootball::                  ::MonkeyFootball::                   ::MonkeyFootball::      

Trust me, to Seahawk fans, I know how losing a game like this is. The PATS would have two more Lombardi trophies if it were not for two plays, a BS catch by David Tyree and a non-catch by Wes Welker.

I am glad the refs let them play and the game was decided on the field. Still cant believe that the Seahawks did not run Lynch from the 1, but I will take it.

No comments on deflategate even???

Big week in college football - I was remembering GO since Wisconsin plays Bama today.

Made son's season opener two weeks ago, he's now offensive coordinator for one of the largest high school programs in the southeast and they started out with a big win over another big program 39-27. Repeated a win last night of 49-0 but against a smaller opponent.

Klaas, the team they played in the season opener has a WR commit to the Ducks and he's good, very good! Made me go   ::MonkeyShocked::

Where is Frijole??? Has anyone heard from her?

Hope your fave teams have great wins today!!!

Best game I've seen today was BYU and that last minute hail mary.  Ducks are doing great on offence, new quarter back is awesome but their secondary sucks big time.  Right now it's half time 37-21 (Oregon vs Eastern Washington).  Can't watch the game, we have Direct TV and it still doesn't have a deal to get the Pac 12 network yet. So following on twitter etc. 

Sounds like you son is doing great!   ::MonkeyFootball::

Klaas I went and watched the replay of the BYU throw and it was quite the catch, even triple teamed! Gotta love it!

I never worry about your Ducks, they always seem to pull off a great season. Bama sure has one really big and really fast RB that will be a terror this season, they trounced Wisconsin.

Son is doing well, he's happy and soon will marry his girlfriend of the last 3 years. Former Ole Miss cheerleader now PA for a cardiac group. She's a keeper.

Daughter is better now too after battling a brain tumor for the last 2-1/2 years. She's in love with the son of her boss - Director of Booster Club at a major university.

I'm hoping to make another of son's games on my way back home - just finished a cloud implementation & conversion in TX and so weary of four years of life across the US. Can't wait to go home.....

Hope you, your hubby and your children/grands are all doing very well  ::MonkeyHeart::

The Tennessee Titans got my guy Mariotta, I'm sure he'll do great this year.  Still I alway hope he can be traded to the Eagles so he can play for Chip Kelly again.  The new Duck starting QB (Adams) is the real deal, he's pretty great. 

So I'm rooting for the Ducks, the Eagles, the Titan's.  After that I root for the team with the prettiest colors, LOL.

Yes four years on the road but now only one week on the road per month, so grateful that I can spend work to live and not live to work so much. Daughter is much better, thank you for caring.

Does anyone else think this season is kinda chaos? It's so hard to predict who will win on any given game but it's also making for an exciting season right?

Hi Klaas,

I busted - you cheer for the prettiest colors  ::MonkeyHaHa:: ::MonkeyHaHa:: ::MonkeyHaHa::

I cant' hardly keep up with all of the games lately but you sure know how to pick your teams! This is the season for the ACC to actually play some football for a change and I am as surprised as everyone else. Dabo at Clemson finally got them rockin and rollin and did any of you see the Duke vs Miami game last weekend? A crazy finish to that one and then UNC will likely break into the top 25 finally after 700 yds of offense today.

As I recall Sharon's team is Miami?

Off to pack.....head out tomorrow and pray the work week goes quickly.

Klaas, the medical bills have ensured I can never work part-time - I will be the 70 year old woman with a rolling briefcase flying for work  ::MonkeyHaHa:: Me, a cane, and a briefcase  ::MonkeyHaHa::

Wreck,

As a long time fan and recent graduate of the UW, my Dads good friend, who happens to work for a company that is a BIG booster of the football program invited me to listen to Coach Petersen speak to a small group from the company. A group of about a hundred of us in one of the stadium suites. He spoke to us for about an hour and a half and went over the "Our Kinda Guy" (OKG) power point presentation that he gives to all of the kids he recruits. After listening to him speak, I now understand why the other coaches in the Pac12 are very concerned with him. The coaches were asked who they were most concerned with in the Pac12, and they pretty much unanimously said, Coach Petersen. He is extremely genuine and is able to make you feel comfortable in his presence, in a very short amount of time. Very honest and forthright answering questions, without the media being present...From everything I've been told, he and his family love the PNW and will not be going anywhere, anytime soon. As us old timers know, National Championships can be won at our fine academic institution. The academics at the University was a BIG key in him taking this job. Much easier to recruit parents to the UW, as well as the kids. He very rarely, of ever takes a commitment from a kid until his parents have visited the campus with the player, as he believes a commitment is just that, a commitment. I believe he has had 1 decommittment, in the three years he has been here. And that kid flipped to USC the next day...

You can see his "OKG" culture starting to permeate throughout the program and the way the student-athletes carry themselves as young men off the field. As my seats are located right up the stairs from where the recruits are escorted to their seats, I've had many opportunities to speak to them, and they are all extremely impressed with the coaching staff and how they carry themselves. As you are starting to see, the Huskies have bought into his "OKG" philosophy and it is translating onto the field. We are also extremely young. Only 4 seniors on the two-deeps, on each side of the ball, with LOADS of talent red-shirting. And also, a very GOOD recruiting class coming in and the recruiting cycle won't be done until February.


Ok, I'll shut up now....Go Dawgs!

Yes, we were robbed! Played poorly, but still deserved to win! I got to go our game last week - had a great time. My old college roommate invited me up for their big tailgate and great seats.
On another note, the American Football Coaches Association went back named us their 1945 National Champions. We were 9-0 and won the Sugar Bowl that year. They had never named their Champion for that year. A little late, but we can say we have a National Championship in football officially! (We actually won the NCAA basketball tournament in 1945 as well)

The Dawgs started off slow, but then settled down and got down to business. I think we lost Chico McClatcher for the year, who brings a lot to the offense. If you get the chance, google Chico and his mom, who played a little football herself. That's where he got some of his passion, was from his mom.

Secondary played really well with 3 interceptions. Coached by one of the best, Jimmy Lake.  One being a pick6 by Myles Bryant. Another great story if you get bored and want to google something. Former walk-on.
Offensive line settled down and started to establish the run game, as seen by Myles Gaskin 202 yards rushing.

Adding a link if you guys want to stay up-to-date on the Huskies throughout the year: http://www.seattletimes.com/sports/uw-huskies/

Looking forward to hearing about other Monkey's teams and being directed to some great stories about their players.
