Where are all of those fans?

Texas played very well against those Ohio State Buckeyes. Texas went ahead very late in the game, and stayed in there to win.

FSU v The Citadel -- What is up with that? FSU scores 3 pts in 1st quarter then comes on hard with a strong finish scoring 62 pts by game's end.

GT with another win.

I was really beginning to wonder if AL was going to play football this year.

I see FL had a blow out game, winning big.

I root for Florida International University. I graduated from it. It lost today. :( It lost last week-end, too. :( I wish Don Strock (head coach) would put his foot down.

I also root for FSU. My mother graduated from it. I went there for a little bit but got homesick and went home.

Go Gators! Not that I care a thing about football. Just want the Gators to win so my hubby will be a happy football camper.

I was raised in Bham where you have to swear allegiance to either Alabama or Auburn by the time you are two years old. I was a Bama girl and graduated there, but I have lived in Fla so long that I just don't care a bit about it. I would rather be at Grayton, or shopping, or reading or watching a good movie...

GO GATORS!!! :lolabove:

Bulldawgs barely won vs The Old Ball Coach. And GT is looking pretty good with the QB and WR combo, a good defense and good running attack. The other ACC teams need to take note. VT looked good too. Suprise that Charlie Weis and the Fightin Irish are back so soon.

Good stuff. No it is onto the NFL Sunday!!!!!!!! :clap_1:

What do you think about instant reply in college football? I like it. The officials are the ones that must call for the replay review. Good rule.

I think it has been long time coming. Sometimes I wonder if the home team really had the advantage of the home town refs too. I know they don't, but I often think the refs must be looking at the cheerleaders when they should have been watching the play. (I would make a lousy ref -- too many distractions inside the stadium. :lol:) Do I understand that only the western conferences have this instant replay review?

I fell asleep too and went to bed thinking Texas had lost. But the Longhorn QB was money when it counted. He made some mistakes in the 1st half that fed his critics but then like a true star he came back, silenced them and showed the nation that not only can he run like a HB he can pass like a pro. He is a true double threat and he is bigger/taller than Vick and a righty to boot.

On that drive when TX went ahead, the QB got hit hard & was knocked silly. TX called a timeout hoping that he would have a chance to recover. He did, and they scored a few plays later. On their next drive, he got hit hard again, and looked a little stunned, but at the end of the came, he was all smiles.

I don't know how proud the QB's dad was after the game, but his coach was so proud, that one would think the QB was the coach's own son.

As for the dawgs, when they scored with 8 minutes left to put the game at 8 pts, I told my 12 yr old son (avid GA fan) that the game was "over" and he said noway dad and he was right. The frosh from SC showed he can really play throwing the ball down field with 2-3 strikes that hit the WR in stride. But on the 2 pt conversion, he had his WR man on man with the right mismatch, he was open and missed the throw wide left by 6-8 inches. Great finish. The SC frosh QB looks like he is going to be a good one in the games and years to come if Darth Visor doesn't blow him up mentally with his tirades and QB of the day routine.

DJ looked pretty good for the DAWGS. No David Green in h is rear or front view mirror. He is pretty good on the run and he can pass too. :biggrin:

How is it that TCU can win against OU last week and lose to SMU this week??? Ugh.

I am hoping my Dallas Cowboys will bring me a victory today.

Yeah, I thought for sure he was out for the rest of the game...but..no!
It was a nailbiter and I think the Buckeyes played hard and it's too bad that they lost. :(

Dallas hung onto win in the last few seconds. The Chargers were driving but could not score. Dallas wins. Also, SF won vs the Rams. Big game for 1st year coach Mike Nolan.

I'm waiting to see Vick and the Falcons vs McNabb and the Eagles tomorrow night. Should be a good game. :clap_1:

Did you see Prothro catch the ball behind the defenders back and hang on while he flipped into the endzone? It was such an awsome play!!!!!

As far as FSU vs The Citadel, all I can imagine is that Bobby or Mickey or both lit a fire under somebody at halftime. Mistakes were what was killing us in the first half. The Sunshine replay last night didn't look nearly as bad as it did in person.

I don't have a good feeling about Boston College. Then again, I didn't have a good feeling about Muff-ami.

What time does UF/UT kick off?
