Hmm, Giants-Skins or Memphis-Cincy. Difficult choice.

The Giants and Skins only combined to score 53 points. I can’t watch that kind of snoozefest when a good old-fashioned shootout is occurring! 😉

Yeah, saw Guneer Kiel get KO’d in the 1st quarter. That was a pretty scary scene. After the hit he started to reach for his helmet and then just went limp. He was completely motionless for the remainder of the time until they got him in an ambulance. The hit looked like he might have snapped his neck or something. I see now he’s awake and moving his limbs, which is great news.

Right now, the horned frogs are really not looking like a top five team.

Virginia Tech on the verge of losing to a North Carolina directional school. Crappy weather but still a pathetic performance

Wow. Texas Tech came within ten yards of the Best Play Ever.

Wow, TCU wins the game on a very questionable call. That last catch did _not_ look like a TD to me.

TCU catch looked good to me, and I was pulling for Tech.

This game is ridiculous. There seems to be no defense at all…especially from Arizona…and without 3 TOs it might just be 42-35. Its like some divine power is playing Madden with real human players.

So, who predicted the old-school beatdown that Utah is giving Oregon? 😕

That was a great play! The only thing missing was the band!

Not me. Worst home loss since '77 ( the Dark Years). Looks like our goals have shifted from “National Championship” to “Bowl Eligibility”.☹

Stupid Ducks. Their humiliation cheapens the win of my Spartans over them. At least Michigan is looking much more solid, so by they time they play Michigan State it will count as another quality win for MSU.
