FBC week 13 running thread

[2muchcoffeeman]

Figured it's time to get the next one started. ;D

Anybody for a little Air Raid-Oklahoma action?

 

[buckweaver]

Thank god. You used FBC.

Thank god. You used FBC.

I'm out of the newspaper biz but the AP wire codes are burned into my frontal lobe. ;D

 

[buckweaver]

Mine, too. Which is why I always did a double-take at the "CFB" threads the last two weeks. Couldn't figure out what that meant until I clicked on it. And it gnawed at me every time I did.

Same here. I can only assume that some of our thread starters work at ****ty weeklies that don't have AP.

I thought about saying something last week, but I figured I'd make my point this week. 8)

So ... TTech-OU. Clearly the test the Raiders have to pass because this is the only one of their important Big XII South games that's away from Lubbock. Best game of the year? Early contender for Game Of The Century? If TTech wins this one, does it move to the top spot?

Whatever happened to the Game Of The Century deal, anyway? Seems like we used to have two or three of those a year back in 1993 or so.

Don't we usually wait until Monday? Sometimes its selfish to be first.

Obviously next Saturday is all about Texas Tech/Oklahoma, but a game I am really looking forward to is Wednesday night's Ball State/Central Michigan. Ball State has been unreal this year and Central Michigan has held things together despite a lot of injuries and they are undefeated in conference and probably the only MAC team that can give Ball State a game.

Also, they don't get the same kind of attention as the Tim Tebows, Matthew Staffords and Sam Bradfords, but Nate Davis and Dan LeFevour are probably going to be third to fifth round draft picks who could end up being real good pros. They both can play.

Notre Dame started to suck. Can't be a Game of the Century without Notre Dame.

That's what she said.

Refresh my memory, Mr. Slap. Didn't CMich handle WMich pretty easily... without LeFevour, who sat with a bad leg?

In any case, we'll find out a week from Tuesday, right? Tim Hiller is a pretty good player, too. Just not on the same level as Davis and Lefevour in my humble humble.

 

[DanOregon]

BYU-Utah should be good, I'm also looking forward to (with more than a little fear) at Oregon State-Arizona.

 

[The Big Ragu]

Dan, The Beavers are going to have to earn it... Arizona then Oregon.

Western tends to gag against Central, always has. But don't say Central is the only team that can beat Ball State when Western beat Illinois last weekend...

That 5-6 juggernaut, Illinois?

Just giving you grief.

I have watched all these teams play, so I don't feel like I am entirely out of school... Ball State is a better team than Illinois. Ball State is better than either Central Mich or Western Mich. Both Ball State and Central Mich are better than Western. But the good thing about this discussion is that Ball State and Western Michigan will finish out the season against each other, so we'll be able to see it on the field rather than in my stupid message board posts. By the way, hasn't just about everyone in the MAC beaten Indiana?

Bama will struggle to score against Bye.

 

[WS]

Bama will struggle to score against Bye.

and Bye won't kick to Javier Arenas, either

 

[dixiehack]

Bama will struggle to score against Bye.

Does Bye play basketball? Maybe I could cheer for them instead of the Mark Gottfried experience.

 

[2muchcoffeeman]

Bama will struggle to score against Bye.

Do Bye's defensive players commit the same dumbass penalties that Florida State's guys do?

Central owns Western but both teams are good enough to beat anyone in the MAC. Either way it shakes out, I want one of those MAC teams to end up in a bowl game against ND and wipe the floor with them.

Anyone think LeFevour leaves after this season?
