College football 11/01-11/04

All good things must come to an end (including crazy-ass long regular season win streaks). It hurt when the QB used up his eligibility last fall. I still think they'll make at least the semifinals of the NAIA tourney.

 

Fresno State still has a chance, cutting the lead down to 38-21 with 10:24 left.

 

Stanford hosts USC this weekend. Is this the blowout game every USC fan is going to get after it didn't materialize against Arizona State and last week's loss to OSU? Something tells me Stanford plays with USC ... for a quarter, maybe a half.

 

Anyone else think this should be a fun game to watch, given what we've seen already?

 

More like a down. Stanford is downright awful this year. They only managed 53 total yards against Arizona for fuck's sake.

 

I know the Cardinal is awful, but hey, USC's not the recent USC. This seems like the perfect opponent to rebound against after the OSU debacle. My previous post is more wishful thinking.

Lighten up BYM 2, Electric Boogaloo!!

 

Is it just me, or do Army and Air Force keep fighting after the snap, and ESPN2 won't show it?

 

I just know, the next time we strike, I hope it's not on land.

 

I love Army. It pains me to see them like this.

 

Army football is collateral damage from Iraq. Same thing happened back during the Vietnam war. There's a limited pool of kids who can play ball and hack the service academies both in the classroom and culturally. The three schools must share the pool. Surprise, surprise, Mom and Dad prefer their kid choose a branch of the service that doesn't involve so many funerals. Air Force improves, Navy improves, Army goes 2-9.

 

So who's getting fired up for that Gardner-Webb/Charleston Southern game today.

 

That's unbeaten Charleston Southern to you, buddy. Pride of the Lowcountry. Defeater of horrible football teams from near and far.
