Ok....why are they giving them medicine??   I mean they shouldn't dose people. It's unethical

The mad hater dose it again! Wait  a second... Auburn wins on the last play of the game...wow. what a game!!!
chaos is about to ensue. I love it!

mtindian42

The mad hater has been fired from lsu.

VHSCoach2

Les Miles and Cam Cameron have been fired.

Ed Orgeron is expected to be the interim coach for the remainder of the season for the Tigers.

Whenever you say things are going to be different I guess they need to appear to be changing.

mtindian42

Lsu would be smart to go after tom Herman.

LSU's mascot, Mike the Tiger VI, passed away today after a battle with cancer.

The ironic part of your statement is that the University of Colorado doesn't offer baseball as a sport.  ;D

So where are we?  Notre Dame (gone), TCU (gone), Texas (fail), Oklahoma (done).  This all started with Notre Dame giving a wanna be conference false hope!  Ha ha.  SEC gonna be strong by post season.  AAA

I got to update the pretenders and contenders tomorrow.  Ole Miss (done), TCU lost again, Texas lost again.......  Ohio State - oh my.

Indeed. Baseball (along with six other sports) were discontinued due to budget cuts after the 1980 athletic season.

oh my? Yeah, a loss to a very mediocre Penn St. team is not confidence inspiring. But there is enough left on the schedule ( 3 possible top ten teams) that if they win out they would get in the playoff. So not a pretender just yet.  I notice you didn't call them a pretender earlier, just jumped on after a loss. Way to step out there Nostradamus.

Holy cow... Wouldn't have expected that from a major school like CU.

WPWells

It's actually not uncommon for schools to not have baseball. Wisconsin is another example

Cause baseball is boring ?

Now, that is funny. I always try to criticize baseball but then realize how quickly people can turn the table on me how I watch soccer. I always thought it was weird Colorado doesn't have baseball but having spent time in Boulder I figured out why. Weather and culture so the make up the Title 9 scholarship issue in baseball I figure.

I've watched High school soccer....if Hector ever got a wild hair and start up a program...I'd probably watch a game or two

This may sound strange, but at the high school level I actually feel girls soccer can be more enjoyable and cleaner game to watch. When you watch two lower tier teams play in boys all they end up doing is kicking it far and trying to have their guys chase it way too much where there is zero flow to a game. In girls they seem to kick out around a little more and have at least some flow to it. Now, top teams in high school and college/pro in soccer I'll watch the boys all day over women's soccer.

I really like Dabo and his Clemson Tigers. He runs a good, solid program.

Passed the first test. Dominated a team they should have. Ask Tennessee about how it doesn't always work that way.

About the same caliber opponent as Ohio plays in conference.
Quote from: LRRandy on September 05, 2016, 06:08:57 pm
? Huh ?

Oh trust me, I've been saying Ohio St was overrated all along.  It's just that no one is really interested in them other than not wanting them to get in an, over their heads, playoff.  Counting on you to keep us updated.  Nostradamus?  Good Lord, you got Yankee written all over you!

trust you? Why? Not once in all your posts prior to the loss did you say that tOhio State was overrated. You seem to have a firm grasp of the quote function. Post the quote. I can admit if I'm wrong. Just haven't seen it. Where did you go to school?  I have gathered your not an Arkansas fan and simply claim sec fandom. I haven't seen you take a stand on a team. The sec is a little milquetoast this year huh. Bama does in fact look mighty. I can remember a number one Bama team getting beat by a third string qb not so long ago so don't just crown em yet. Finally. Is Nostradamus not in southern text books? Why would that be a northern thing? A man that made prophesies in the 16th century that have appeared to have come true is something only a "Yankee" would know. Interesting. Take your shots. Cling to Bama. It's all you got.

+1 way to rep Buckeye Nation!!!

Only a geek yankee would use the name Nostradamus in this century?  Buckeye's is the name of your team?  Buckeye?  Really - Buckeye ...... Wow.  Mean Fighting, Buckeye...  Is that like a garden plant, seed, something or nother?  If the Big 10 joined the Big 12, you'd have 22 Teams that have no business in the playoffs.

Why you name yourself emptyindian anyway?  Full of hot air?

are you ten years old? If you don't have a vocabulary or understand witty sarcasm being used in the reference of a mid century prognosticator so be it. Don't sell others short though excluding the whole south. Way to attack a mascot. Ooohhh!! Tough guy. And it's a killer nut thank you very much. I agree the big 12 won't have a team in the playoff. The B1G will. Right now it could be any one of three or four teams. How many from the sec realistically could go. If  Bama loses in the conference championship game there might be no sec team in. Hmmmm. Resulting to trashing mascots and screen names kinda tells me all I need to know. Next.

First playoff rankings. Bama, Clemson, Xichigan, aTm

Only one team in  each of the first two seasons were in the final ranking and in the playoff. Chaos awaits.

Clemson and Alabama were both in the first playoff rankings last season, and then went on to the play in the National Championship Game.

thats right. I was wrong. It was the first year of the playoffs. That's five of eight that didn't hold. I see two that won't. Certainly aTm will fall out in place of a unbeaten or one loss conference champ. Xichigan won't be there at the end either.

just seen them go under for good. They are done. Auburn looks like a team that should be taking serious tho.

Buh-bye Aggies. Auburn could beat Alabama.

The curse of the #17 lives on.  Through ten weeks in this college football season, a team ranked at #17 in one of the three major polls (AP, Coaches, College Football Playoff) has lost that weekend.

Week 1: #17 Southern California (Coaches) lost to #1 Alabama, 52-6
Week 2: #17 Oklahoma State (Coaches) lost to Central Michigan, 30-27
Week 3: #17 Ole Miss (Coaches) lost to #1 Alabama, 48-43
Week 4: #17 Arkansas (AP) lost to #10 Texas A&M, 45-24
Week 5: #17 Michigan State (AP) lost to Indiana, 24-21
Week 6: #17 North Carolina (AP) lost to #25 Virginia Tech, 34-3
Week 7: #17 Virginia Tech (AP) lost to Syracuse, 31-17
Week 8: #17 Arkansas (AP) lost to #21 Auburn, 56-3
Week 9: #17 Utah lost (AP) to #4 Washington, 31-24
Week 10: #17 Baylor (CFP) lost to TCU, 62-22

Another interesting tidbit: Western Michigan was the original (AP Poll) #17 team this week, but were moved to #23 by the College Football Playoff rankings. WMU ended up winning their game this week.

at one point I thought your posts showed some grasp of football concepts and you seemed to have an understanding of the college football landscape. This post without a doubt shows that you have no clue.

I saw Damarea Crockett, former lrca RB, take a run to the house against South Carolina. He plays for Missouri.
