College Football 2004 thread

Hello,

This is getting tough! We're both posting in both football threads! It's hard to keep up!

[Tommyknocker]

You're doing fine. Let's see. Illinois then Purdue. This is getting interesting.

[northcat_8]

This keeps up we may not have to beat Ohio State.

You won't have to beat OSU, they'll beat themselves.

Keys to beating OSU:

Don't turn the ball over...and if you do, just make the tackle and make our offense have to score.

Punt ball out of bounds.

I fail to comprehend how one of the Top 5 Football Universities in the Country cannot put an offense on the field capable of at least being a threat to score.

I know the Bucks are young, Zwick is a soph., the only RB they have is a true Frosh. and lost 14 players to the draft but still. Losing to North-*******-western Give me a break, Northwestern can't even win an inner squad scrimmage.

I know of at least 4 HS Tailbacks who are better than Lydell Ross...but we won't recruit them because they don't fit some preconceived idealistic mold. But them SOB's can go to South Carolina (Ryan Brewer - RB), Illinois (Brock Bollin - RB, Ty Meyers - DB), Michigan (Charles Woodson), Penn State (Curtis Enos - TB), Notre Dame (Brady Quinn - QB) and play. HOW IN THE **** DO YOU LOSE A RECRUIT LIKE CHARLES WOODSON??? HOW THE **** DOES THAT HAPPEN John ******* Cooper...HOW??? ******

Rant over.


On the other side of that, Michigan's QB looks better and better each week. If they can find a replacement for Chris.....(I forget his last name right now)...the kid they have now is not bad but is not last years TB by any stretch. They should be very good the next couple of years.


@shelbyGT - UT-OH, Sooners looked very very good today...defensively at least. Good Luck with that game Oh by the way, I know you are big KSU fan...one of my friend's players is at KSU. Rowe Grigsby. He's a wideout. You guys take care of him out there in Wildcat land, he's a good kid and will work hard, who knows...maybe he'll make the big show, if he doesn't make it, it won't be for lack of effort.

From ESPN.com

Texas lost this one, 12-0, which is as deceiving as four coats of makeup on Anna Nicole Smith. OU had 11 more first downs, 12-plus more minutes of possession time, and 301 rushing yards. The scoreboard said it was a close game, but the 79,587 sitting in the ancient Cotton Bowl knew better. So did Brown. You don't get shut out for the first time in 281 games and think otherwise.

[Guest]

What about that Edward's catch call back. He was like"youre my bitch,I dont even need to put a second hand on it.

[Guest]

uh-oh. Ill is up

TK are you coming back for any games? MSU perhaps?

[Tommyknocker]

Can't at the moment. My second in charge is on a deployment, so there's no one to do my job while I'm on leave.

maybe next season Cant you just hang a brick on the safety lever like Homer at the Springfield Nuclear Plant

Last year I was coming back from Geneva the Friday before the ND game. I has sitting next to a U of M grad coming back for the game. I hope he didnt come back this year

You reminded me of his ex-pat exploits, trying to get the games on the internet. He had view text updates for a number of years before he got internet radio

Well, your tax dollars gets us some stateside TV, so we get to see some college and NFL football, but we don't have a choice like you do like in the States. Today I was fortunate, and got to see the game:



That Michael Hart is somethin' else, ain't he?

Hello,

Michigan undefeated in the BIG TEN!! 4-0!

Michigan State - not bad!

Kevin

[Tommyknocker]

Ohio who?

[northcat_8]

Ohio who?

No shit. Buckeyes are horrible. Like I said before, if you want to beat the buckeyes, don't turn it over and make sure you can punt. All you have to do is make their offense score to beat you and hell that's not going to happen

How about Purdue finding out the difference between a contender and a pretender? It is still Big Ten football, if you can't run the football you are going to lose. If you ask me that is the main reason for Michigan's turn around and why OSU sucks ass. The Hart kid is good and will be a beast before all is said and done, just like Wheatley, Perry, Thomas, Biakabutuka (it was) and a whole host of others.

[northcat_8]

Although I will root for OU and I hate Pete Carrol, I'm pretty these guys will take some.




Auburn might want some too. holy cow, they are just man handling the SEC and aren't being nice about it, I'm not sure how big a piece of the Georgia is going to want of them either...but I don't think they are OU or USC caliber.

Hart is good.

That's Biakabutuka for those that care! (I'm sure that was just a typo, right???)

Kind of a trap game for the Badgers this weekend with Northwestern. Especially after an emotional win against Purdue and playing without E. James.

Huge game for Michigan this week. If they can't get pressure on Orton, I think he might pick em apart. Once WI lost the pressure last week they ran up a quick 17 points. Not to mention Purdue shutting down Anthony Davis. We'll see what Hart is made of this weekend.

[yoda313]

Hello,

GO MICHIGAN!

Pwyll - Yeah it should be a good match up!

Watch out for Michigans D! It can make interceptions on a whim!

Still unbeaten in the Big Ten! Anyone get the number of that truck that had "SHAZOR" stenciled on the side? GO BLUE!!!!

[yoda313]

Hello,

MICHIGAN!!

Whew! That was a close one!

When was the last time Michigan had a REAL kicking game????

Well at least we still have a chance of hanging with Wisconsin!

Hey Northcat! Glad Ohio State finally won a game again!

Kevin

[ViRaL1]

That's gotta hurt.

[yoda313]

Hello,

Saturday is the big Michigan vs Michigan State game! 3:30pm est.

Can't wait! Michigan will trounce State. I can see it now, Hart will carry 50 times and get 300 yards just like Perry did last year!

Kevin

[yoda313]

Hello,

Well it's gonna be breezy for the michigan game (30mph winds). So looks like I might be right about the rushing Hart for 40 or more times in the game!

Kevin

[Pwyll]

rather see state win. gives WI a little more breathing room.

DOWN with Wisconsin!

Michigan's going all the way this year!

Yeah, they won (wasn't really a surprise). If you had told me before the season started that this would be the worst KSU team in 12 years,
I'd have laughed in your face. But the jokes on me, it looks like. Our only Big XII win is against NU so far, who is also having one of their worst years of the last decade (probably their worst of the last century).

So, congrats, you will get your asses handed to you in whatever bowl you go to, AGAIN! Two years straight of the top 2-3 in the land, with nothing as a team to show for it


And northcat - We'll take care of him. The way our offense is morphing, next year looks like we will be extremely pass happy.
