Week 12 College Football: Give 'em the Axe, or Floyd of Rosedale

It's going to be pretty damn funny when UConn's leading by three with two minutes left.

Sorry, Charlie.

 

Now see, Slap...you missed a GREAT opportunity to take a cheap shot at the whole "OH....IO..." cheer that we Buckeye types are so in love with. Clip art...it's a crutch, my brotha'.....

 

Nope... but I think Bob Wojnowski of the Detroit News hit it on the head yesterday...

"The Buckeyes are loaded for bear, which is better than a Buckeye loaded and bare, I suppose. They'll start ambling into town any moment now, overrunning our White Castles, taking up two stools per person. The game should be close for a while, but I have a feeling we'll hear those drunken chants of "O-H! O-I!" deep into Saturday night."

 

I actually think the game is for the Capital One Bowl. If Arkansas can win its last two games, I'd lay heavy odds that they are headed to Dallas.

 

Some football trivia from the Heartland:

After Colorado's close call (but still a loss) at Oklahoma State, the Big 12 North stands at 5-12 against the Big 12 South.

With Kansas at Texas on Saturday night, looks like the North will finish 5-13, continuing a trend that I'm pretty sure has held since the Big 8 became the Big 12.

Only Big 12 North team to have two wins against the South? Nebraska, which also is the only team to record a win against someone besides Baylor or Texas A&M. The Huskers beat the Sooners.

 

Should be an interesting matchup. From what I've seen of the Buckeyes, they can't pass. From what I've seen of Michigan, they can't defend the pass. Who grabs their ankles worse on Saturday?

 

I think Oregon will stomp Arizona.

 

For some reason, I just found that line funny. The game isn't for the Rose, or the Sugar, or the Orange Bowl. It's for the Capital One Bowl!

 

its only the biggest bowl outside of the bcs

 

In terms of money, yeah. In terms of history and prestige, nope.
