After this next game i'll be accepting bets to how many more games the UA coach has...ua is still not smart enough to let one sit long enough to put their recruiting into effect..kinda hard to build teams off of the last morons choices

My good buddy turned off the lights in his living room and sat in the corner, in the dark, after that Villanova game, Violin. I feel your pain. I may be there this weekend.

Beat Florida, Buddah? Heck, your boys can't even beat South Carolina in a bowl game.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU FOLKS? Are you living in a vacuum? The BIGGEST GAME OF THE YEAR takes place this weekend at THE SWAMP! REMEMBER: The road to the National Championship always goes through the State of Florida. Florida/Miami should be a barn burner. I may get burnt this weekend but I won't be too crispy to post and take my medicine next week.

BTW, I'M BETTIN' FLORIDA TO COVER THE SPREAD!

I am so glad I found you on this board. You are right....I'm glad that they do still let you guys stay in the Big 12. Gives us someone to beat every year. And even in basketball. Yes, your worse nightmare...A Mizzou grad. And for anyone who thinks Bama will beat OU you are drinking BAD Alabama shine. And my Tigers did look good against Illinois...Surprise, Surprise......

OK, Dodder, the initial meeting between Misery and Kansas, under the Mighty Mangino, will likely go to the bad guys. However, don't let your guard down.

You are right on the basketball last year. But every year before we have screwed up you nice little season by beating you at least once or twice. How far did you guys get in the tourney last year?

You're right Dun, he's a Pitt State Grad. I went to a Div II NC game in Florence, AL between the University of North Alabama and Pittsburgh State in about 95 or 96. The kicked UNA's butt. UNA once won 3 Div II games in a row. I think that Coach went to Temple and didn't do much afterwards.

Hats off to OU. That was an overall great game. Exiting to watch with lots of back and forth. My Tide just couldn't finish. It's hard to hang with a top 5 team when you have 3 turnovers. I'm proud of my team. The game was lots closer than 10 pts. This is the first time since Stallings left that we've had a reason to be proud of special teams. We have been horrible up until this game.

What's your beer of choice Dunadan?

Big Ouch!
Boooy Howdy! I waited all year for THAT? Too bad it wasn't a more exciting game to watch. I will reserve judgement about how good Florida really is until we play a human team like Tennessee. Maybe Florida really isn’t very good this year but I suspect that we just got our butts whipped by the best team in the country.

Too bad Bama couldn’t finish off Oklahoma, dayhiker. The Tide played a great game in the second half EXCEPT for that last drive by the Sooners. I know one thing for sure, I’ve watched Oklahoma play a couple of games this year and they don’t stand a chance against Miami.

They would definately get killed by Miami. Our defense has improved, but we're not world beaters. Our defense did hold OU to the lowest rushing total in OU history. It was something like -20 yards for the whole game.

I'm still pumped about the special teams. We blocked two punts and one field goal. We also did a kickoff that went straight up(on purpose) that they fumbled when they caught it. We also started off the game with a recovered on-sides kick. Coach Fran said that they had practiced it this past week. OU lines up with their two front men too wide and far back. The two guys on each side of the kicker each double team the two OU guys, the kicker taps the ball 10 yds and then falls on the ball. Just like they drew it up.

I would like to think that Miami just played their best game of the year and that they won't be bringing their "A" game to Knoxville.

I honestly can't see any team in the country beating Miami the way they played Saturday.

We’re # 1 (hundred eighty one)!!!
After Saturday's humiliation by the (previously) lowest ranked team in Division 1-A football, the latest Sagarin ratings have Rutgers at # 181 nationally - below 64 Division 1-AA schools!

We are thinking of changing our team mascot from the Scarlet Knights to the Wounded Amoebas.

Highlights:
12 penalties (four in a seven play session), three interceptions, two shanked punts, a kickoff return that started and stopped at the two yardline and punt snap that sailed 38 yards out of the end zone for a safety.

Fulmer said that after watching Saturday's game he was mad as hell at the players' efforts. Actually with UF in two weeks, I'm glad UT didn't have a glamorous game against MTSU. After watching OU/UA, I feel like UT is totally in control of their destiny even ranked 4th.

Violin, that was a total shocker! After a few years of recruiting some good kids from Florida, Rutgers should be a better team than that. I'm afraid it's starting to look as if the game day coaching may be lacking. Who knows? There were so many factors to point to. My buddy was so shocked when he heard the score on the radio, in his car, that he missed his exit.

Watch out, chili. Our O-line averages 6-8, 327lbs and is mobile (but young as a unit). You saw Miami's speed and power. And how about that 350lb defensive tackle that Miami has. The one who's really fast. The one who's their second string guy! If Miami's young secondary was supposed to be their only weakness this year, they don't have any weakness. I hope that Florida/Tennessee is a good game. I think that those teams match up well. I only hope Florida gets hungry after this loss. But I don't hold out much hope for you guys against that Miami juggernaut. You'll just have to be satisfied with your sure win against the Scarlet Knights.

We'll find out exactly how "overrated" the Florida teams are by season's end.

Get it straight arc. It's the Wounded Amoebas from now on.

I think a lot of the blame goes to the desision to allow the offensive coordinator to select his own son as the starting quarterback over the more experienced Chad Schwenk who left in a huff to play for Lehigh (now #2 in the 1-AA ranks) where he has been a solid backup quarterback.

arc, first we have to deal with Florida and Georgia.

Assuming we get business done there, then we can worry about how bad it will be against Miami.

I am not ready to guage our chances until after the Florida Game.
