Most here unfortunately don't really know a lot about football. Lot of fan boys though

I can't talk football with an irrational poster with the maturity of an 8 year old. I'll save my debating for guys like tape and Sarge and Vader. You know, real men who don't feel the need to thump their chest and start name calling.

YOU stupidly accused me incorrectly of being turbo pig when I debunked your dumb idea of the 46 yard hash mark FG attempt. You know discussing football strategy, something above your pay grade evidently.

****! Texas lost at home to BYU 41-7?!

From what I've seen these two weeks (and the last several years, too)....being a fan of a Big Ten team is equivalent to being a Browns fan. Nothing but bleakness anywhere on the horizon. No chance of ever winning a truly big game. Even struggling to win mediocre games at this point.

Having said that, I thought Michigan St. had Oregon figured out at one point. Alas...

There are no Big Ten fans. That's an SEC thing to root for a conference and take some sort of pride in seeing your rivals win. Penn State won so that was a good day for me.

There is no bleakness on the PSU horizon. They have a QB who may be the #1 overall pick in the draft in a few years, the best TEs in the nation and some really good young WRs. The defense is looking better than expected too. They are still young and make tons of mistakes but the future is very bright.


Mich State looked good. Oregon is just better and not many teams can beat them at home.
Ohio State would have been a very string team with Braxton Miller. Without him, they are still good but will struggle until their freshman QB figures it out.
Brady Hoke is fired, mark it down. That is the only thing that bothered me today. I was hoping MIchigan would win so that Hoke might stick around longer. They are going nowhere with Hoke.

Mariotta is going to win the heisman.

He didn't say "Big Ten fans," he said "fans of Big Ten teams."

Furthermore, you also know it's not a "pride" issue as to why SEC fans pull for other SEC teams. It's because SEC rivals succeeding improves every team's SOS and perception for ranking/selection purposes. I know that's Greek to fans of Big Ten teams, who don't typically see multiple nationally-relevant teams while they're awake.

Mich State looked good.

?? Outside of the second quarter, they lost 36-3.. Langford had 3.6 per carry.. Oregon won by 19 and convincingly won just about every single team stat.. I take that back; that IS pretty strong for Michigan State.

Ohio State would have been a very string team with Braxton Miller.

As strong as they usually are? There's being conference-strong and being nationally strong, two different things.

Texas is a perfect example of why you can't take recruiting rankings to the bank. ANybody who follows recruiting knows Texas has had top classes for as far back as i can remember.

They have not had any luck getting a QB since Colt McCoy. It's head scratching too because there are lots of good QBs in Texas HS. Texas generally gets first choice of the Texas kids. They just keep picking wrong.

You never answer for it, but you know that's untrue. You also know it's not a "pride" issue as to why SEC fans pull for other SEC teams.

Michigan State looked like a good team. How many teams in the country can beat this Oregon team at home? Not many. Tell me how many SEC teams would win in Oregon.

I don't think you even watch these games. You just like arguing.

Michigan State looked like a good team.

They absolutely looked like a good Big Ten team. Nobody in that conference would have a snowball's chance of staying within 15.

How many teams in the country can beat this Oregon team at home? Not many. Tell me how many SEC teams would win in Oregon.

Not sure, but outside of one quarter, tonight was an absolute beatdown. This was not a hard-fought 20-17 game that could've gone either way. In other words, it was not Nebraska-McNeese State. MSU is just not in Oregon's stratosphere.

And I'm not sure why I'm to answer for the SEC. My team plays in the Big 12.

I don't think you even watch these games. You just like arguing.

I watched Oregon-MSU. But yes, I do like to razz you a little about the Big Ten because you're so gung-ho.

Penn State might be the best team in the Big 10 and that's not saying much. And that's coming from a PSU fan.

 

[Southern Steeler]

I think that Alabama, Auburn, LSU, and Georgia could go to Eugene and win.

Gurley could surpass 200 yds rushing pretty easily

War Eagle yet again....loving this Auburn offense!!! Cameron Artis-Payne is beast.
