OTHER GAMES

[mchammer]

Wheels coming off for BYU. ASU whooping them at half. We escaped a buzz saw.

Warning from Nov 23. No one heeded it!

 

[mchammer]

We avoided a buzz saw by leaving the B12.

Everyone laughed at my warnings! Who’s laughing now?

 

[mchammer]

Does everyone recall that this Oregon team received every single first place vote in probably the last 5 polls of the season? Wow.

Even funnier is that Phil Knight blew a lot of dollars on this team.

Longhorns need to get everybody healthy on the OL. OSU had a ferocious pass rush against Oregon - and their secondary seemed to cover receivers very well. Texas will need to establish some kind of running game next week.

 

[Chop]

Irish take down Dawgs today.

 

[bishophorn]

Irish take down Dawgs today.

Agree. The nuts were cheering for ASU when they should have been worrying about the Irish kicking their a$$es. Every team that got a bye has lost.

 

[ViperHorn]

Every team that got a bye has lost.

The break is too long for those who get the byes.

After they get rid of the CCGs, the order will evolve into the following all on campus (second team home team):
12 v. 1
11 v. 2
10 v. 3
9 v. 4
8 v. 5
7 v. 6
Then, bowls for the next two rounds, leading to the Championship Game, with the higher-ranked winner always being the home team.

Sorry, but what fans in some random bar cheer for or worry about really doesn't have any bearing on the outcome of the game.

With that said, I think ND wins it too.

Not possible. You'd go from 12 teams to 6 to 3. Somebody has to get a bye week. But...one week appears to be better than three.

 

[SabreHorn]

If there has to be a "playoff" - eight teams determined by combination of legitimate polls. I'm old and like the Bowl System; it rewarded the best and others with "good seasons". Also added cash to athletic departments, although that could be considered for restructuring. (I hate UConn, but losing $3+ million for a "reward" (Fiesta Bowl) for their best season ever?

Why it should be 8, not 12, and no bye's. 12 is too many and makes the season go too long. If you can't make the top 8 you shouldn't be in the CFP.

Clemson, SMU, Boise and ASU shoulda never been there. Top 8 at the end of the season, period, no crappy teams from crappy conferences.

Okay, Horn fans. What will it be today--thriller or blowout?

Close game

 

[SabreHorn]

Close game

OK, then after the first three minutes?



(Sorry, couldn't resist)

 

[Dionysus]

I’ll be surprised if it’s not competitive but I was massively surprised at how un-competitive Oregon was last night.

Anyone going to the game? Idk where to post this but I stayed at this place last time I was in town for a cowboys game that was walking distance to the stadium and they just sent me a discount code so just booked again. Code: Longhorns10 for 10% the entire booking. Here is the link so you can save on the airbnb fees

[erbutch]

All us old guys remember we never root for ND,unless they are playing aggies and then it is hard to do. Gotta route for GA to pull the upset.

 

[Giovanni Jones]

Is ND’s colors dark blue and gold or green and gold? I’ve been trying to figure that out for years.

 

[Giovanni Jones]

I’m going to sit back and enjoy watching these two teams beat the crap out of each other.

 

[das3603]

Close game

I agree. With both teams having excellent defenses, and Beck out for the season, I think the first one to 20 wins.

 

[txhorn_et]

Phil Knight blows……..money.

 

[Giovanni Jones]

Roughing the kicker, much?

 

[txhorn_et]

Irish Back to back penalties for running into the kicker. Once I get it, but twice. Come on man..

 

[Saint Jimmy]

What the **** is number 30 trying to do? Is he just stupid? Jesus.

 

[stanhin]

Fumble . . . Now that was a hit.

 

[Pomspoms]

The score is 0-0 end of first quarter. Notre dame facing long 3rd down in their territory

 

[Giovanni Jones]

3-0 Dawgs.

 

[Ajo Macho]

Is ND’s colors dark blue and gold or green and gold? I’ve been trying to figure that out for years.

The university's colors are blue and gold because it was founded by French order of Catholics (not Irish), and their colors are blue and gold. That's also why the school's name is in French.

The "Fighting Irish" mascot came later, and due to that, the team/fans wear green sometimes. It also happens to look good with blue and/or gold.

Well, they could be the Fightin' French Fries.... It ties in the Irish love of potatoes and the French love of pommes frites.

 

[Driver 8]

I don't know how we'd stack up against ND but I damn sure don't want to lose to anyone three times in a season
