Congrats to some of the key local teams this last week. UMD, VT and UVA getting the job done.

Re: Official 2011 College Football Thread
 

[quote=ArtMonkDrillz;831584]I was there last night and when they came out in those (they warmed up in the all white unis that were introduced a few weeks ago) the crowd, especially the student section, when nuts. The players have said they liked them a lot, both the look and the way they actually felt which is great because the weather was miserable.

So if the student section loved them, the players were proud of them, and a good portion of the country is talking about them, I think they were a big win.[/quote]

Exactly right. Every sports media outlet spent time talking about the University of Maryland yesterday. That hasn't really happened since the basketball team won it all in 2002. UnderArmour is getting bigger and bigger, and this partnership is going to really boost that program. I think Edsall is a great coach, too. Big name recruits are going to start noticing this program soon if they haven't already. I'm a Florida Gator till the day I die, but I like seeing local teams do well.

Re: Official 2011 College Football Thread
 

Frikkin' awesome games today.

I flipped back and forth between Auburn-MS State and Iowa-Iowa State. The Auburn game came up a yard short of overtime. The Iowa State game was won in triple OT.

Then I watched Virginia-Indiana. Indiana came back from 20 points down just to see Virginia score 11 points in the last minute for the win. Awesome.

Then Michigan and Notre Dame scored three TD's in the last 1:12. Unbelievable.

I know that there were other good games. These are just a sampling from my tv.

Football is an amazing sport. Thank God it's autumn!

Re: Official 2011 College Football Thread
 

The Mich/ND game was craziness.

Re: Official 2011 College Football Thread
 

I was at concert and missed the entire game. After it was over I'm in the parking lot checking the ND/Mich score and it was 24-7 late in the game. By the time we hit the Beltway Michigan was within 3 and then Denard Robinson threw an int with like 2 minutes left. I just knew that was it and the game was over so I stopped checking the score. Five minutes later, still on the road, I'm browsing the web and was ****ing stunned that Michigan had pulled it out and there were 3 TDs in less than a minute!

Whoever the defensive coordinator for ND should be fired immediately. He's had two very bad weeks.

Re: Official 2011 College Football Thread
 

That was such a fantastic game to watch. My wife is a U of M alum, and I usually put on a brave "I'm rooting for Michigan" face when we watch them, but I generally just hope for a good game when we tune in (I suppose she's telling others the same thing about Redskins games we watch together). Three touchdowns in the last 90 seconds of play certainly did the trick. I would have been satisfied about the level of entertainment if the scoring had ended with Michigan's go-ahead 28-24 TD, but, wow, two more touchdowns after that put this one off the charts. Helluva game.

You're not gonna find a better one-two punch out of the backfield than my boys Demps (fastest man in college football) and Rainey. Those guys are electric. Don't sleep on my Gators.

That Denard Robinson had 338 yards passing with just 11 completions...is redonkolous

UVA finally got a coach...got to see him coach at Richmond a couple season and win that championship for their division....he's a badass

Re: Official 2011 College Football Thread
 

Joe Paterno is officially senile.

Hate to say it because I'm a big fan of him as a person outside of football...but after the Alabama trouncing he said "I think our QBs played a great game". He's the only person who thinks so. The QBs looked HORRRRRRRRRIBLE. He's even playing 2 QBs because according to him "they both practice hard". I think he's forgotten how to coach, or just isn't complete here mentally anymore.

One of the QBs went 1/10 and Joe said he played great. The other was 11/29 with 144 yds and an INT. They burned through all 3 timeouts on their OPENING DRIVE. I have no idea how the score was only 29-11...I guess the Lions still have good LBs.

Also, he slurs his speech so badly you can hardly understand him. He sounds like an old Peter Falk when he speaks. Sad to watch.

Rainey looked fast on that 83 yd td vs Tenn . Would love to see he and Demps head to head , cuz Rainey is FAST !!

Re: Official 2011 College Football Thread
 

ACC may be picking up Pittsburg and Syracuse. I think its a great move and I like the ACC being proactive with all the change in the middle of the country. Heard that if Syracuse and Pittsburg are accepted, ACC wouldnt stop there and would look to add 2 more schools. Apparently 10 schools have contacted the ACC about joining over the last several weeks. Glad to see the ACC is not one of the conferences (Big 12, Big East) that is seen as weak and would easy fold or have teams move out.

Man what's going on with Maryland today? Down 21-0 at home and it's still the first quarter. Temple just looks faster and more prepared today. Not a good showing so far, but I like the unis!

Yes. Although this week's versions were an improvement, I think Maryland seeks an ugliest uniform national championship.

And getting spanked by Temple? Really?

I like those moves too. The ACC has been lacking credibility lately with their penchant for not showing up in big games, which VT has definitely contributed to, and it's a good thing for them that Pitt n 'cuse wanna join. The ACC is one of the best conferences basketball wise and this will make it stronger.

dude i was thinkin the same thing all day sat, gotta give it to the moutaineers though, by far the best game day turn out i have ever seen. and wvu put up a decent fight if you watched the game. it got out of hand but wvu fought their way back in only to have lsu run that damn kick back. i knew going in wvu only had about a 40% chance at best of winning, i think lsu might be the best team in the country right now and they are using their back up qb. wvu has a solid group of kids they are just taking time to adjust to the system and if we can ever establish a running game we'll be doing a lot better. overall great game imo, and if i'm the mad hatter i'm figurin out how geno threw for almost 500 yards, cause that can't happen again.

and lsu isn't even in your division, are you just claiming all the sec as "my sec" now? this mod shit is going to your head man

conference realignment is whack, unless they are gonna blow the whole busted ass system up no need to f with it, i think that what is goin on now is out of control and stupid. it's mass confusion going on right now with teams running around trying to find a home. the only good that could come of this would be an end to the bcs, otherwise leave it alone

If this is one more step towards accomplishing that goal I'm all for it. The system is busted (I agree), and if all this realignment talk pans out and it creates ultra-competitive divisions/conferences then that's better for us. It is confusing and everything but it's not like the old alignment was working.

What a finisht to Wisconsin vs. MSU tonight!

Yeah that was crazy. I saw it was tied and headed towards ot with just a few seconds left in the fourth, so I switched it over to espn just in time to catch the hail Mary. What an epic finish.

Re: Official 2011 College Football Thread
 

the wisconsin v michigan state game has to be one of the craziest games ive ever seen. wisconsin goes up 14-0 early, it looks like its going to be a blowout as sparty hadnt been good on offense all year, but what a comeback. michigan state gets a safety, a blocked field goal, and a blocked punt for a touchdown (has that ever happened in the same game for one team?). sparty goes up by 2 touchdowns with about 8 minutes left. wisconsin ties it up with 1:00 and some change left. cousins fumbles and sparty barely recovers it, they end up getting a first down. with 4 seconds left they throw a hail mary which is batted back into the arms of a sparty player who is not in the endzone and is tackled at the inch line. they review it and say he got in. seriously, what an insane game.

Not that one. Though I severely regret not watching that game now that I know what happened. No I'm talking about the game billed as the game of the century. I can not express how pathetic that game was in terms of offense. The playcalling and passing was atrocious.
