[JBHuskers]

Nope, go right ahead!

[ram29jackson]

Will Penn State surprise Alabama this week?.............10 point underdogs

[BCEagles]

Lets go BC, beat UCF! I don't no much about ucf's team but im sure their pretty good seeing as they're based out of florida, and I know they compete in c-usa most years.

[morsdraconis]

Holy shit, WVU up to 19th now? Wow. We looked HORRIBLE against Marshall.

[morsdraconis]

Also, that Sports Information Directors Poll is the biggest load of bullshit. No fuckin' way Alabama should be ahead of LSU. LSU absolutely dominated the best team in the PAC-12 (sorry Stanford, but Oregon is better). That's just nuts.

That would be great, PSU is tough at home and I see this being a low scoring game.

I wouldn't be surprised if Alabama lost. Who do they have at QB now that McElroy has left? Gotta be tough to bring someone in without as much talent at the RB and WR position as they had last year to help.

I think alabama will win this one by at least 10 points, McCarron is a good qb who is still developing and personally i think trent richardson is a better runningback than mark ingram he just hasn't gotten to much playing time and is yet to prove himself. Also they have marquis maze who is a very good receiver and a good defense.

(sorry Stanford, but Oregon is better)

Based on what? Certainly not the last two games.

Games I'm most looking forward to this week...
1:00 PM ET Colgate at Holy Cross

I understand my fascination with the Crusaders ... what gives with yours?

[SmoothPancakes]

I understand my fascination with the Crusaders ... what gives with yours?

Nothing really. I just like the small DI-A and the DI-AA schools. I also like to occasionally catch some of the Patriot League games in football since I follow the Patriot League in basketball due to Navy. Plus, it hopefully will be a good game since Colgate and Holy Cross finished 2/3 in the Patriot League last year.

[JeffHCross]

Good enough for me. Kinda like me and the SOCON.

[baseballplyrmvp]

i'll be at the hawaii/washington game this weekend. DOWN WITH THE POODLES!

[gschwendt]

Big rivalry game this weekend with Memphis at Arkansas State... here's a bit of the history between the two.


1992 - Brawl breaks out (advance to 5:30). Memphis' current Head Coach, Larry Porter, can be seen swinging a helmet around 6:05


2006 - Bluff City Miracle


2007 - Arkansas State scores 29 answer to come back from down 25 (advance to 3:44)


Additionally, without videos, in 2004 Memphis was ranked #25 when they came to Jonesboro. We had a small lead late in the game and trying to work the clock. We needed a solid drive to run out the clock but our QB gets sacked on 3rd down and they scoop & score a fumble to take the lead. We get back on the field and press but are unable to score... final score is Memphis 47 Arkansas State 35.
In 2008, we went to Memphis and lost in an ugly game 29-17.

This weekend should be interesting... I could see us blowing them out of the water or them narrowly beating us.

[bdoughty]

Beat the snot out of Memphis. I can't stand them.

Edit: The pressure just got amped up as Memphis made the #1 spot on the bottom 10. He also has Ark St on the waiting list. That is a list to avoid, like the Noid.

[JBHuskers]

Tonight's game will probably be 70-60.

[JeffHCross]

Tonight's game will probably be 70-60.

Or at least 70-0.

[bdoughty]

Weeden is looking good today. I was expecting a bit more from Arizona, of course they are on the road.

[psuexv]

I will admit I'm a little disappointed the PSU/Alabama game isn't the 8pm Prime Time game over ND/Michigan. Neither of those 2 have been relevant in 4 years.
