The Kin's FOOTBALL THREAD!

[_Kynwric_]

Welcome to the SEC Mizzou...

 

UGA 41 Missouri 20

 

Go Dawgs!

[U4ea]

Dawgs had be worried for a minute there! Actually, a couple of them right before and after halftime! So glad they pulled out the W! :D

[_Kynwric_]

Jarvis Jones is an absolute monster and nearly won that game all on his own in the 4th Quarter.

[U4ea]

I had to put my eyes out of their misery and go to bed around 10:30. Maybe they were just waiting on me to go to bed...

[_Kynwric_]

Maybe... I think Missouri learned that you need more than just a first team in the SEC, it takes 2 or 3 deep at some positions to compete.

[U4ea]

It didn't help that some of the first string guys were icing body parts before the half...

[_Kynwric_]

Yep, just the lesson they needed to learn... on defense in particular. You won't win in the SEC by just outscoring everyone, certainly not against the likes of Alabama, LSU or Georgia.

[U4ea]

So, they have three more chances to learn the lesson. LOL

[_Kynwric_]

At least a couple more, Georgia just gave lesson #1.

[U4ea]

This weekend's SEC match ups are:

 

Sept. 15

Alabama at Arkansas

Florida at Tennessee

Florida Atlantic at Georgia

Western Kentucky at Kentucky

Idaho at LSU

Texas at Ole Miss

Mississippi State at Troy

Arizona State at Missouri

UAB at South Carolina

Texas A&M at Southern Methodist

Presbyterian at Vanderbilt

Louisiana-Monroe at Auburn

 

 

This list seems a bit blah to me. what do you think will be a good game? I'll hit the national college list this evening, if someone doesn't get to it first. My phone doesn't seem to like the ESPN website, for some reason...

[Razen]

Florida/Tennessee and Alabama/Arkansas will be good. Texas/Ole Miss and Arizona State/Missouri could be good too.

 

I'll put up the Big 10 list!

 

Western Michigan at Minnesota

Arkansas State at Nebraska

California at Ohio State

Charleston Southern at Illinois

Eastern Michigan at Purdue

Boston College at Northwestern

Massachusetts at Michigan

Navy at Penn State

Northern Iowa at Iowa

Ball State at Indiana

Notre Dame at Michigan State

Utah State at Wisconsin

 

This one's got the same problem as the SEC list - it's kind of blah. But Notre Dame/Michigan State should be good.

[F Horn of Valere]

So this week, my team got Wisconsin's O-Line coach fired because we kept a Heisman finalist RB to 61 yards. Last year we got two opposing head coaches fired right after they lost to us. May the firing continue!

[_Kynwric_]

Alabama at Arkansas

Florida at Tennessee

 

These should be good, if Arkansas Quarterback is healed and Tennessee is for real.

 

As for Razen's list, the only game on that list of interest is Notre Dame and MSU, and that could be a snoozefest too.

[U4ea]

So, do you suppose last weekend was a big weekend and they're giving us a break this weekend? LOL Seriously, these games are not big attention grabbers.

 

TN hasn't had a good team in a while, so I'm not holding out much hope there. I agree, though, Notre Dame vs. MSU might be a good one that I have to watch. You know, when I talk the five year old into it... *coughs*

[_Kynwric_]

Its week 3, last week of cupcake season.

TN has Tyler...who lived about 20 minutes from my town.

[U4ea]

True, kyn.

 

So, you think they'll be better this year, Ryrin?

[_Kynwric_]

Tennessee? They'll be fine til the have to play Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Missouri and Vandy... yes, I said it. VANDY!

[Ryrin]

True, kyn.

 

So, you think they'll be better this year, Ryrin?

 

Not sure. He's young. I'm watching Stanford and USC.

[U4ea]

Ah, well. They'll get better sooner or later. Everyone goes through phases...

[F Horn of Valere]

Oregon State is now 2-0, with both victories against top-25 teams. Furthermore, they ended the Heisman talk of two RBs in the process! After holding Montee Ball to 61 yards, just held Johnathan Franklin to 45. The 1967 Beavers may be the Giant Killers (Beat #1 and 3, tied #2), but the 2012 Beavers are the Heisman killers!

[Ryrin]

Go Steelers!

[U4ea]

Georgia is 4-0. They destroyed Vanderbilt this weekend. *grins*

 

GO DAWGS!!!

[_Kynwric_]

Make that 5-0 Dawgs, after hanging 51 on Tennessee... and if they could take out the last 2 minutes of the first half it would have been an even more impressive win.

[U4ea]

I didn't get to see it, but I heard it was a rough one...
