2011 College Football Season

[Guest JukeboxHero]

I expected Ohio State to be pretty terrible this year, but I didn't expect them to almost lose to Toledo. Wow.

This Rutgers loss to North Carolina makes my brain and my balls hurt. How do you manage to lose a game when your opponents try to give it to you 5 times?

*sigh* Only Rutgers

It was a winnable game for Rutgers in the end but that blown call on 2nd and goal in the first quarter was bad. That was a TD and should have been reviewed. 7 points there make a big difference. There was also a pass interference call on that last drive.

Dodd looked good after the shaky start. I'll take the positives that came out of this despite the loss.

Iowa/Iowa State had a crazy ending and Auburn/Miss St. is looking to end the same way. What a great day so far.

[Meacon Keaton]

Also fuck Auburn. Chizick is going to have to take a dump and crap out that Horseshoe eventually.

Go California 2-0 ... Win in OT over Colorado today made me happy, the eventual losing will come but I'm glad they got this win today...

I think Notre Dame is trying to set a record for most turnovers in the red zone in a season. Poor Meacon.

[Meacon Keaton]

I'm done with this fucking shit. See you all next year.

[naiwf]

The last 90 seconds of Notre Dame/Michigan was epic.

lol, Notre Dame

[bill_da_bill]

What a game. Didn't do a lot to boost my confidence in Michigan overall, but that was a great win. Denard won't ever be a drop back passer in the NFL, but the dude can play football and he can throw the ball enough to get it done. Sweet victory.

Notre Dame is the only school capable of pissing away their season in such epic fashion.

Missed most of the games today due to work, and of course I missed a thrilling day.

Hey Meacon,

[Plubby]

My first time I sat and watched a whole game of College Football and it was a heckuva intro. Feel like they blew the call on Michigan's first TD, but Robinson was just clutch.

[Meacon Keaton]

Kiss my black ass, Blaze.

Should be a good'un tonight. I want the Bulldogs to win, but I have a feeling LSU will somehow find a way once again. I hate that Les Miles' teams always (or at least luck into) win close games. Maybe because my team always loses them.

What's the best place to catch college Highlights online?

Pitt/Syracuse apply for ACC

Uh huh ....

[The Heartbreak Kid]

And the Big East is getting fucked again. Either way, I'll still watch my Syracuse games.

[gunnar hendershow]

I do think this is as much a basketball decision as a football one, especially for Syracuse (I heard they shut down their program after McNabb graduated). There's a ton more money in football but the ACC and Big East are basketball-first conferences, the only two in the nation. Too much of a logjam in the Big East. More importantly for the ACC, these are safety measures in case Clemson and/or FSU decide to hightail it to the SEC and in case Miami athletics are euthanized.

As a Maryland fan, I'm not looking forward to playing Cuse or Pitt in basketball every year. But hopefully this means the ACC can finally split into geographic divisions.

North: Cuse, Pitt, BC, Maryland, Va Tech, Virginia, NC State

South: Duke, UNC, Clemson, Wake, Georgia Tech, Miami, FSU

[The Heartbreak Kid]

If that's the case. I'd be very excited to see 'Cuse basketball in the ACC.

While I'm not trying to pick an argument and in regards to these two schools basketball probably is helping the decision .... none of this is about basketball. Even the ACC is shifting, and has been for a few years now. NC football is just as prominent as NC basketball the last 5 years, same with Wake Forest. Outside of Duke, none of the ACC basketball powers have a football program that seriously trails the hoopsters anymore. Even Maryland has evened out.

Simple enough for the Big East schools. Outside of the Big 12, the Big East is the conference on life support. There's no more room in the Big 10, and the ACC is probably looking for back up plans. The ACC is much more attractive overall and at least this way you're being proactive and not ending up "in a Baylor."
