Eh, he's a freshman. He'll learn in time.

 

Great game though. I'm guessing that'll be on ESPN as an "Instant Classic" soon.

 

And Jordan, you were right. Georgia barely beat SC.

[Jordan]

Yep, here are my predictions from a few days back:

 

Correct Predictions:

 

Alabama beats Southern Mississippi

Auburn beats Mississippi State

Georgia barely beats South Carolina

Florida kills Louisiana Tech

LSU beats Arizona State, but they won't look sensational

 

Partially Correct Predictions:

 

Texas beats Ohio State senseless, showing that Ohio State is nowhere near as good as their #4 ranking

 

So I did good

[D Jones]

Anyone want to bet that OU loses at UCLA?

 

That's my prediciton, OU gets beat by UCLA. To young. Peterson isn't ready to step up as a leader, and neither is Bomar.

 

Stoops needs to bring back the option to the Sooners. He has Thompson & Bomar, but yet doesn't use the option.

 

Jordan, you need to join Sports Weekly, before some cheesy ESPN show hires you .

 

I will give you guys my predictions tommorow or the next.

[woodprior383]

I havn't made alot of predictions this year. I predicted Miami would beat FSU. Wrong. I predicted Texas would beat OSU. Correct. So I am 1-1 so far this year. Maybe i will just predict the outcome of the biggest game every week.

[D Jones]

My predictions on a few games.

 

UCLA beats OU.

Utah beats TCU.

Oregon stomps Fresno.

Clemson barely beats Maimi.

Florida beats Tennesse

Florida State stomps BC.

 

There yah go, my predictions.

[Phalanxe]

 

Partially Correct Predictions:

 

Texas beats Ohio State senseless, showing that Ohio State is nowhere near as good as their #4 ranking

Woah, woah, woah. Ohio State was in complete control of the game until the last 2 minutes when we missed a field goal and put in the worst of two quarterbacks. You might recall a the TE catching the ball and his foot hitting the endzone, but not touchdown being called..forcing OSU into a field goal. That was the worst call of the game. All in all, OSU is still an incredibly good team, and Texas just got lucky at the end of the game.

 

It was only a f*cking 3 point game. Explain being beat "sensless" before you go off and make some false statement.

That's why he said it was only partially correct. It was correct that Texas won, but they did not blow OSU out.

Ah, then I misunderstood. Either way, campus was insane after the game. I was there.

[Jordan]

Yeah, lol. The partial part was me picking who winned.

[D Jones]

Does anyone have NCAA Football '06? We can discuss that here too, I guess.

 

Anyways, I was Ohio State my first year. So, I put Troy Smith a QB and began my Season. I beat Miamu U. easily 31-3. Then I went into OT with Texas and won, 17-14. Then my season continued.. I won the last game of the year (michighan) 24-10, clinching me my Big Ten Confenerence Title, and I was #1 in the BCS. USC came out to be #2 in the BCS, and I won 45-24. The only rewards I got was Ted Ginn getting best returner and Santonio Holmes as best Receiver (90 catches 1400+ yards and 20 TD catches). Troy Smith, Santonio Holmes and one of my CB's left for the draft.

 

Now I begin my recruiting. I recruited the 2nd best RB, best WR, the best FS and the best QB (which was the Nations #1 player and Elite 11 QB). I recruited 11 Blue Chip players, and I had the best recruiting class.

 

I cut a few players.

 

Then, it was a hard choice, because I like scrambling QBs. And the freshman QB ran the 40 in 4.27. So I just decided to redshirt him and start Justin Zwick, if sh*t goes the wrong way, I will start my freshman.

 

 

Also, I recruited 4 Blue Chip Athletes. Which I wish I knew 3 out of the 4 of them were QB's. So I put 2 of them in my secondary, and just put the other one as the QB. Now, I begin my season with going against Boise State.

[woodprior383]

I have it but I am kinda bored with it. I play Race for the Heisman mode the most. I havn't even gone through 2 seasons in dynasty mode.

[D Jones]

I have it but I am kinda bored with it. I play Race for the Heisman mode the most. I havn't even gone through 2 seasons in dynasty mode.

Put it on All-American level, with the AI on the Defense 55% for the CPU. It's hard and challengeing, so it shouldn't be too hard.

 

The Race For The Heisman is fun. But I got mad, because the whole purpose to to win the heisman for you guy. But yet, you have to control the whole team. Which is stupid.

 

I am about to update the front page, so liek wait.

[woodprior383]

The worst part about race for the heisman is the offseason. You have to go through all of the regular things but you can do anything. You just simulate it and wait 15 minutes for it to get done. That sucks.

[D Jones]

Indeed. That's boring.

 

 

Ok, I got the front page finished. I have the AP Poll, and USA Weekly Poll. I also have stats and The Game OF The Week. Enjoy.

[woodprior383]

IM sure those stats will change alot. The only notable person on those lists is Omar Jacobs. Everyone else is pretty much a no name.

[D Jones]

Indeed.

 

Omar Jacbos is great. He is deadly runner, but he is like Chris Leak. He uses his arm, more than his feet, and only uses his feet when he needs to.

[Jordan]

There is a bias against Alabama when it comes to pollsters. Just wait until they beat South Carolina this weekend at South Carolina.

[D Jones]

If Alabama beats SC @ SC, then I will make Alabama underrated.

 

A few years ago, I know they were decent, but I think if Mike Price didn't fool around that strip club, they would have been a good team already.

I'll be in Columbia, South Carolina and at the game! I predict Alabama wins. Also, Florida beats Tennessee and Vanderbilt beats Ole Miss. USC and Arkansas...while it will be close in the first half and people will act all surprised and stuff...USC blows it open in the 2nd half, never looking back.

[Cuse510]

Syracuse just lost to #25 Virginia on a last second FG. They almost pulled off a nice upset though. Hagans ran for something like 120 yards for UVA. On the biright side, Perry Patterson finally had a good game for the Orange...

[D Jones]

My predictions on a few games.

 

UCLA beats OU.

Utah beats TCU.

Oregon stomps Fresno.

Clemson barely beats Maimi.

Florida beats Tennesse

Florida State stomps BC.

 

There yah go, my predictions.

I got UCLA beating OU right.

 

Like I said before. OU is way young, and it's going to take some time. OU would've won if they didn't give it up 3+ times. But you guys must admit, Rhett Bomar can run.

[woodprior383]

Well there were a couple thrillers today. Notre Dame lost in 1 OT to Michigan State. Then Miami beat Clemson in 3 OT. That was a really good game. It sure didn't dissapoint.

[D Jones]

Well, damn. I have 1 right, and I almost won the Miami/Clemson game.

 

Anyways, great games today. I thought ND could pull off the win, but I guess not.

I thought the Irish would pull it off also, but they couldn't convert in OT. Great game for Brady Quinn though. Almost 500 yards...

Indeed. Lol, now watch, everybody will be putting Charie Wies down.

 

 

This team is still good. Thy beat Pitt and Mich. in there home, but MSU is underrated. I don't know why people thought ND would blow them out.

 

 

Can anybody agree that Dave Wanstedt is kinda f*ckin' up?

[Cuse510]

Can anybody agree that Dave Wanstedt is kinda f*ckin' up?

Believe it or not, I was thinking that this would happen. Hell, I think any Bears fan who's been alive for at least 14 would.

 

To answer your question, yes, he is f*cking up.

Indeed he is.

 

 

Well, I got Florida beating Tennessee right. Florida is going to be at the Championship game this year.

[Jordan]

Notre Dame...Michigan...Pitt...blah blah blah

 

I'm tired of people talking about those northern teams...especially the Catholic commentators on ESPN. They know they will sell more advertising airtime if they promise to talk a ton about Notre Dame because Catholics are a big audience. I saw the highlights to the Notre Dame game more than 10 times...that is ridiculous.

 

Anyway, let's talk real football: SEC.

 

I went to the Alabama at South Carolina game, where Alabama was a 1.5 point favorite. Alabama went up 37-7 in the fourth quarter (37-14 final after Alabama put in 2nd/3rd string defense), with more than 40-50 thousand SC fans leaving before the 4th even started. They were shocked. CBS commentators was shocked. Some Alabama fans were shocked.

 

"Alabama is the best team no one is talking about. They are severely underrated." - Kirk Herbstreit

 

In two weeks, look out Florida...they play AT Alabama.

 

My predictions were right, by the way. On page one of this post, I said the folllowing:

 

 

I'll be in Columbia, South Carolina and at the game! I predict Alabama wins. Also, Florida beats Tennessee and Vanderbilt beats Ole Miss. USC and Arkansas...while it will be close in the first half and people will act all surprised and stuff...USC blows it open in the 2nd half, never looking back.

 

While the USC/Arkansas prediction wasn't accurate, I picked the winner. Just like last week, I am perfect.

 

boo-yah
