What is the Over/Under on Baylor v. OK St.? 28 points in under 10 minutes. This is going to get silly. ---

Is there a separate thread for teams that should be D-II instead of playing in the SEC? ---

Geez, what is with those Baylor uniforms? Is that supposed to be some kind of buttery, date-filled pastry? Because it looks like they have been carrying cheerleaders with bladder control issues on their shoulders. ---

Coach should get him all pumped up for the big game next week, run the living shit out of him all week with 2-a-day practice, then during the coin flip next Saturday, quietly take his helmet and direct him to the bench _for the whole game!_ Then kick him off the team. And take his scholarship. ---

Disclaimer - I had more to drink after my Spartans game winning field goal than before. A signifiicant portion of my last 6 months of alcohol conumption happened today. Consider yourself warned. **Pound Green,[SIZE=“7”] POUND!**[/SIZE] …and as much as the fact that a UM victory at the horseshoe earns us a Division championship… Go Bucs, hammer the big weasels. We’ll take care of the rest ourselves. Spartans, what is your proffessions? Ahh Ohhhh Ahhh Oohhh. You see friend I brought more warriors than you! ---

> [@Thing\_Fish](#): > > 1. Baylor – will these people shut up now that they have lost? Probably not. Could you elaborate on what you mean by “these people”? Yeah, I understand the strength of schedule stuff and would agree they didn’t deserve to be in the top 5 or 6 but it’s hard to deny Briles has turned around a pretty suckass program in a big way. And beating OSU with their third string QB in Stillwater is impressive, don’t you think? ---

Go Ducks go! Fight Ducks fight! WIN DUCKS WIN! I retract any negative comments I may have made earlier in the season, the Ducks we know and love are back! Vernon Adams – first player EVAH to pass for 6 TD against the University of Spoiled Children! Congratulations also to the Spartans and Wildcats! Great day of football, now GO BEARS! Oski Oski Oski or however the hell that goes! ---

Just my subjective impression that their fans have spent more time than most on the inter webs (not here) bitching that they should be rated in the top four. ---

> [@Thing\_Fish](#): > > Just my subjective impression that their fans have spent more time than most on the inter webs (not here) bitching that they should be rated in the top four. Got it. But have a little sympathy - we’ve been starved for a decent, much less really good football program, for decades. Some fans are more blind to reality than others. I suspect proximity to Texas is part of the problem. 😃 ---

Actually he’s more of an acquaintance. But anyway, all in good fun. Please start rooting for Cal, looks like they need all the help they can get! ---

Cal looked really good there for a little while. Well, only if scoring doesn’t count. They moved the ball like hell between the goal lines though. ---

Great win for my Spartans yesterday. Beating OSU and U-M on the road makes for a sweet season come what may later. No Cook? No problem! O’Connor definitely outplayed Terry and probably earned the starting job next year and perhaps the rest of this year. That being said, what the hell what Urban Meyer thinking? Sure, the weather sucked but- how can you not try some passes downfield? It sure seemed like OSU was playing not to lose. Both of their scores came off turnovers so they didn’t have a sustained drive all day. Now if you’re an NFL coach and you’re looking at Exekiel Elliot, are you going to say “now here’s a guy who handles adversity well and will be a positive influence in my locker room?” I rather doubt it. Some black eyes for Satan’s Evil Conference yesterday, USC losing to Citadel? East champion Florida needing OT to beat FAU? Please football deity, let Florida lose to FSU and then whip Alabama in the SEC title.
