    Good win today for Illinois!

    Happy for Lovie.

    Bye bye Wisconsin.

    I'm not a regular viewer, but are Oklahoma supposed to be getting a 50 point beat down by Kansas? :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 37,549 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    Well it's not quite fifty, it's twenty five. It's a huge shock though. Meanwhile the Buckeyes are thumping Wisconsin which will certainly enhance their ranking.

    Soonets just scored to bring it down to 18. 12.35 left in the game so it's not just done yet.

    Was referring to Kansas total score.
    Only two wins against ranked teams in last 25 attempts (according to commentary)

    It's Kansas State.

    Kansas were hammered by Oklahoma a few weeks ago.

    Down to 10 now. 5.36 left.


  • Registered Users Posts: 37,549 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    Down to 7 but Riley used two timeouts, unnecessarily imo, so it's an onside kick and a likely loss now.


  • Registered Users Posts: 37,549 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    Soonets recover the onside kick at the K State 38. Comeback is on but as I type it's maybe an illegal touch before it travels ten yards.


  • Registered Users Posts: 37,549 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    So it hit one of the Sooners on the knee about a half yard short of the ten it had to travel. It's still being reviewed but no doubt in my mind that it's game over.

    Was looking pretty clear, refs took their dam time though.

    Threads been quiet this week (I certainly didn't want to talk about the Michigan nd game...) But was anyone as shocked as me to discover the NCAA have backed down so quickly on allowing players to profit from image rights and stuff? Obviously saw that once California pushed it the writing was on the wall unless they wanted usc and Stanford and whoever completely dominating recruiting, and probably the whole sport,forever.

    Funniest thing is it was approved unanimously. It's the right decision I think, but still...For a company that spent so many years standing on "principle" that's a remarkable turnaround, and tells you all you need to know about the principles of that organisation. Money grubbing hoors.

    Lee Corso earlier on doing his pick for the game where they are was just hilarious. He talked about the Memphis Tigers then picks up the Tiger off the floor and is just about to put it on but then throws it on the ground and picks up the Mustang and puts it on.

    He dropped an F-bomb doing that same bit before. The other guys reactions are hilarious.

    He is some man, pure entertainment at 84 years of age.

    Really looking forward to the LSU v Alabama Match tonight. Feel like LSU will win.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,717 ✭✭✭polaris68


    Tua's final status will not be determined until just before kickoff. Must be touch and go whether he's ready.


  • Registered Users Posts: 37,549 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    Wow, the Golden Gophers take out the Nittany Lions.
    How high will they go in the rankings after that? They were totally disrespected in the initial rankings. Should be top four after this. Delighted for Minnesota.

    It would have been horrible if they lost that with a missed delay of game resulting in a td for Penn State to put them back within a score.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,919 ✭✭✭OldRio


    Cracking game that.

    And now..... LSU v Alabama.


  • Registered Users Posts: 37,549 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    Obviously LSU Alabama is the big one of the day but I'll be keeping an eye on Kansas State who have been seriously impressive over the last couple of games and could make a run at the big 12 championship if they win tonight in Texas.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,112 ✭✭✭el Fenomeno


    What a start by LSU. I'm skeptical of Burrow just because the jump he's made this year has been almost too good to be true, but he looked great on that opening drive.

    LSU leading Bama 33-13 midway through the 3rd, did not expect such a high score for LSU.

    If LSU can hang here Burrow will be odds on for the Heisman.

    Game tightening up now.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,919 ✭✭✭OldRio


    Alabama coming back into this. LSU need to show more on Offence this half.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,687 ✭✭✭✭jack presley


    And just like that, it's a one score game


  • Registered Users Posts: 19 Broadway Joe


    33-27 now, going to be a great finish. This game is living up to all the hype.


  • Registered Users Posts: 19 Broadway Joe


    Burrow commanding on that drive there, showed real quality in a pressure situation. This kid is the real deal.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,109 ✭✭✭letowski


    In fairness Tua has come up big for the Tide late here after a poor 1st half.

    Great game.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,109 ✭✭✭letowski


    Burrow is special.

    That RB is having a pretty special game too.
