The Official 2008/2009 NCAA Football Thread

Wake Forest pulls it out, thanks to career games from Skinner and Harris. :thumbsup: I like Navy, though. The 3-Back is actually kind of fun to watch. Remember back when Oklahoma ran it? Jesus...Johnson for Colorado State. He's been a great back all year but 10 yards a carry? Jeepers!:eek: Kudos to the SFU Bulls. Grothe had a big day. Great win after a frustrating year.

Anybody want to do a preview of the later bowls?

Bowl Preview

Holiday Bowl: Oklahoma State vs Oregon
If Oklahoma State doesn't win this game my Christmas bonus will be history before New Years day I'm playing the game straight up along with a 10 point teaser coupling Oklahoma State with Georgia and Texas. Look for these bets to insure an Oregon victory (especially since I'm a lifelong Ducks fan betting against my team LOL)

I will do my Florida vs Oklahoma preview January 7th.

That's not a bad bet. The Holiday comes down to who scores the most points--forget defense. I chose both Georgia(ouch!) and Texas to win easily. Spend your money wisely.

Spend your money wisely.

Ha Ha! Through the years I've always made money betting college football.....until this year! This year I've gotten my ass kicked :1orglaugh
So I'm not counting any chickens, that's for sure.

If I do win I plan on donating my winnings to the CLFFBB (Christina Leardini Foundation For Bodie Boffing)....

Was pulling for Navy over Wake Forest, but based on what I'd heard about their first encounter this season I wasn't surprised that Navy lost the rematch. Fresno State vs. Colorado State - didn't really care since I have mild interest in both teams, but I was a little surprised that the Rams came up with the victory. South Florida vs. Memphis I didn't watch or care about in the least, but I'd heard that South Florida was a virtual "lock" to win so that's how I picked that one (good thing for me, too). Wasn't sure about Arizona vs. BYU but since I don't really like either team I was pulling for the Pac-10 team in that one, even though it messed me up in one or two bowl pick'em contests I entered. I have no more interest in tomorrow's bowl game than I did today's South Florida vs. Memphis one, so the next bowl game I plan on watching is Tuesday's TCU vs. Boise State matchup which should be a GREAT game (go Horned Frogs!!).

That has the makings of a GREAT matchup! Two high-scoring offenses from different established conferences. I think it could go either way but if Oregon gets its "spread" offense in gear then Oklahoma State's going to have its work cut out for it (just ask teams like Michigan's, which gave up 39 points to the Ducks last year IN Ann Arbor; South Florida's, which gave up over 50 points to the Ducks in their bowl game last year in a battle of two teams that had been ranked as high as #2 in the polls at different points during the 2007 regular season; Arizona's, which held USC to 17 points this year and BYU to 21 tonight, but which gave up over 50 to the Ducks in Autzen earlier this year; and Oregon State's, which gave up 65 points to Oregon in the "Civil War" this year IN Corvallis, the most points the Oregon State Beavers have EVER given up in an official game of football in their entire history. And remember that's a history that includes 28 consecutive losing seasons [1971 - 1998], an NCAA record). I'm pullin' for the Pac-10 in that one but I won't be all that disappointed if (that other) OSU wins it since I'm not exactly what you'd call an Oregon Duck football fan.

Southern Miss rallies past Troy in what turned out to be a pretty good game. Plus the Golden Eagles kicker--who won it with a FG in OT-- has the perfect name for a kicker: Britt Barefoot. :1orglaugh

 

[assholebythedoor]

what is a team you didn't expect to make it as far as they did?

Seems nobody saw Boise State coming. Same with Ball State. Rivals.com had both of them around 65th in the country.

 

[Jason z]

what is a team you didn't expect to make it as far as they did?

It's simple.. Alabama. Who would have thought they would have done what they did this year?

 

[ArabJames]

It's simple.. Alabama. Who would have thought they would have done what they did this year?

maybe not this much success....but i thought theyd win the SEC west

before the year i thought LSU and Auburn were both overrated, and i could have seen a 10-3 record with a chance sugar bowl berth (it would have been tight with them and Georgia), because i had Florida in the title game from day 1

 

[rwill25]

It's simple.. Alabama. Who would have thought they would have done what they did this year?

I have to agree! I thought for sure John Parker Wilson was going to fuck it up for them.

I would also have say Texas was a surprise. I knew they would be good, but they struggled last year, plus they have a very young secondary.

Bowl Preview---The Boise State "Chosen Ones" versus the Scrubby, bush-league, sad sacks from TCU

Analysis:
The Chosen Ones, aka the Broncos, will dazzle all who attend and watch the Pointsettia Bowl Tuesday Night. There will be trick plays galore, a nasty, knee-knocking, bonecrushing defense, and the Pacific Northwest's most chestiest cheerleaders. I predict MASSIVE RATINGS and lots of bitter, drunken, toothless TCU fans will be getting arrested at the game and spending the night in San Diego County jail. I heard a rumor that disgusted me about TCU. Apparently they were originally known, when the football program began in 1969, as the TCU Peeping Toms. They wore trench coats over their shoulder pads and would not de-pile the line of scrimmage or tackles. They would....linger on top of their opponent. GROSS! It took the entire TCU town (wherever they are) to rise up and demand changes for their football program...but in a nod to their peeping tom origins, they adopted Horned Frogs...

:rofl:

Try to forgive titsrock, folks. He's still pissed off that lowly TCU (a 30 point underdog) handily defeated his not so mighty USC Trojans in the 1998 Sun Bowl

Yer damn right I hate TCU!! I remember that game....one of the worst games ever played by USC....It might also be the last great win by a Dennis Franchione coached team too...

I share your pain, but for the opposite team. I don't think that game(2007 Fiesta Bowl-Boise State vs Oklahoma) wil ever be forgotten.

People don't even remember the 1998 sunbowl(except for USC).

I hope TCU(which held my team to 35) crushes Boise State!
I will always hate that Boise State program!

 

[Skyraider22]

it will be one hell of a match-up tonite one great offense vs. one great defense. I see TCU winning 20-17:thumbsup:

Ha Ha Ha!
That game provided me the single biggest score in my sports betting history :nanner:

A Paul Hackett coached team favored over anyone was always a solid go-against

Yes indeed there was quite a party in the bodie household on that hallowed eve in '98.
The champagne :beer: and strippers :boobies: flowed like water, my fine Trojan friend!

I think that little bastard Ladainian Tomlinson ran wild all over SC. 200 yards? Couldn't stop the fucking ground game. I watched that game with my family and locked myself in my room afterward and went to sleep. MASSIVE HEADACHE.
