FBC Week 3 thread: Honoring Joe Montana and various random place-kickers

I don't care how valiant the comeback is, when you give away 21 points to an inferior team you don't deserve to win even if you put yourself in a position to do so.

 

I don't have this from anyone credible yet, but Mark Dantonio had a mild heart attack this morning after taping his coaching show. He's doing fine --- says my twitter feed.

 

Free Press says MSU to hold football related news conference at 1 p.m.

Update: He is expected to make a full recovery, offensive coordinator Don Treadwell (sp?) will coach the team for now as Dantonio out indefinitely.

--Cal at Nevada on Friday in a game that could be for a spot in the AP top 25. With Kaepernick being a senior, this may be the last chance for quite a while for the Wolf Pack to get a defining win, after previous failures against Notre Dame and Missouri.

--The Mallett Heisman watch will face an early test when Britney Haynes U. goes down to Georgia. Mission accomplished
--Virginia Tech hosts East Carolina, but it would not shock to see the Hokies fall to 0-3. It should have
--It would not shock me if Air Force gave Oklahoma a tough game. I will complement the Sooners for having a much better non-con slate than Texas. Bingo!
--BYU vs. Florida State in the This Would Have Been an Epic Duel 15 Years Ago Bowl. Sucked
--Nebraska will cream Washington Schweet!
--Clemson at Auburn in another game that could have a top 25 spot riding on it. Not sold on Auburn just yet. War Eagle got lucky
--I think Boise will take care of business at Wyoming And then some
--Texas Tech is my upset pick to beat Texas. Fail
--I think Houston will win at UCLA, but I don't think the Bruins are good enough for a win to lift the Cougars into BCS buster contention. Dante's circles of fail

 

Speaking of Houston, not only did the Coogs lose Case Keenum for the year with a knee injury on Saturday they lost their back-up QB to a broken collarbone too.

At least you've seen the error of your ways.

 

Trust me, I've failed worse, but that was indeed significant fail
