Man, what a weird week! A lot of upsets and a lot of squeaker games. OSU almost gets beat by the Aztecs? It’s going to be a looooong season for them Bucks. I was sorry to see the Irish have trouble. I was hoping they would blow them out and come to Michigan lackadaisical. Looks like they will be working hard and be ready for the challenge. That damn Bowling Green/Purdue game was a nail biting barnburner!

My My, Army lost its season opener. Who-da thunk it?

Coach Todd "Dingle" Berry starts off another season 0-1. And this was gonna be his break-out year (of course, last year was too, but what the hell?).

Ah well, onto Michigan...and another tense saturday screaming at the TV.

bongofreek, we got caught in the classic "looking ahead" mode. At least, I hope thats why we looked so bad. Its going to be a really long season if we really stink as bad as we played Saturday.

Let's just hope it's YOU screeming and not ME. ND is my #2 most hated team yet they are the one's who garner the most respect from me at the same time.

nigal--I bet our #1 hated team is the same one then...we'll probably both be rooting for hyway's team next week. After last Saturday's game, I truly have no idea if ND can hang with Michigan or not...of course, I think they'll give UM a better game than Houston...

hyway--here's hoping looking ahead gets you guys somewhere against OSU.

Looks like Kansas State is going to lose Ell Roberson, at least for a while. That is a BIG loss for them. It's a shame, because they were looking for a great season, this year.
Jayhawks smoked UNLV. I guess they are trying to help me avoid drinking too much beer. Rutgers came through with a big loss, so the beer bet is even at 1-1.
Florida disappeared.
What's up with Auburn?
I feel for you, Geo. It's gonna be a long time before Army has a good team. Take it from someone who knows.
Is Boston College for real? I don't want them beating up on the Irish this year.
Speaking of which, ND will need to play better to beat Michigan. I predict they will.

It's on to Wyoming for the Mighty Jayhawks.
Dunadan

I am rooting for BC. Every team that beat makes Wake Forest look better and our loss to WF a little easier to take.

BongoFreek, I hope looking ahead pays off too, but it has already cost us more than any payoff I can imagine. Beating OSU will be great, but it pales next to losing a Conference game.

Take this one to the bank!!!!
I guarantee Auburn will score more this game than they have all season!!

Vandy is scared ****less of the 115th ranked offense in the land, not to mention the 117th ranked scoring offense.

watching Auburn play offense this year rivals only puking in terms of fun to me

I can't get a hold on where ND is at yet. If they beat Michigan, then I'll have a real good idea about what type of team they'll be this season. I can't figure out how tough Wash. St. really is.
Anyway, I can't wait to see the Irish trounce the Vulvarines.
The Mighty Jayhawks take on the Wyoming Cowboys on their home turf. The Cowboy coach is calling this a "must win" game. I hope they must lose.
Dunadan

Go ND!

I think Dunadan is right, we'll know a lot more about the Irish after Saturday's game. If it is the win I am hoping for, they will be tough to beat the rest of the season.

And, if it is the loss I fear, then all it means is I get to surf more saturdays this fall...

But I am still hoping for that win...I hate Michigan...no offense, Nigal...

That's what makes this game so big. Michigan is pretty much untested so far and the Irish need to show they have what it takes to get into the top 5. It will be a slug fest for sure. Classic meeting between the team with the most NCAA wins (and #2 win percentage) and the team with the highest win percentage (and #2 in most wins).

But Memphis plays Southern Miss in Hattiesburg in what should be a great game.

Congrats. Buddha and any other Bucknuts fan, you guys played a great game and your offense showed up to play (then again, our defense makes everyones offense look good). I can only wonder what kind of season we could be having if we weren't such good sports and stopped spotting the other teams the first 17 points.

You have my sympathies Scoops. That was just ugly ugly ugly. I haven't seen a beating that bad sense Rodney King got pulled over. If ND was gay it would have been ruled a hate crime. On to Ory-gun!

Those damn Bucks got lucky! Gawd they stink. If they are still ranked above Michigan after today I'll have kittens. 3x OT against the 22nd ranked Wolfpack? AT HOME? Man I wish it the end of Novemeber and Michigan could play them next week.

Classic Lobos-BYU game
BYU takes it 10-7 .

33,606
clear but very windy! Dropped popcorn fell in the next guys bucket.

The Lobos are proving that they have the talent and ability to, but they are making critical errors.

game highlights-

Early in game, UNM punts and BYU player gets close and UNM player covers ball in endzone claiming BYU touched it. Refs say no. Fans are pissed, they saw it and the ref didn't. He was nowhere nearby.

Over and over the BYU punter pins UNM deep in their territory.

BYU RB almost stopped in his backfield around the BYU goal, slips outside and runs 89 yards, caught by a desparate tripping tackle at the UNM. UNM DEFENSE HOLDS! BYU settles for a field goal.

BYU scores touchdown in first half. I think they put together a pretty good drive.

Second half, the UNM defense manhandles BYU. UNM offense moves up and down the field with combination of running plays in the trenches, off tackle plays and quick out passes. One touchdown. A couple of drives stall because of missed passes and one bad pitchout.

At about six minutes, UNM chooses to punt rather than go for inches on 4th down. They don't make it BYU takes over on about their 40 and drives deep into UNM territory. At 59 seconds UNM is out of time outs and BYU runs out the clock.

The eight year olds were bouncing off the wall after that one.

Next week WSU who stomped CO in Boulder.

Nigal, I am fairly certain that that #22 ranked team (soon to be unranked) could hang with Michigan and if by some impossibility we were to meet you in post season that our young D-line and skill players will have matured enough to hang a loss on you.
