They Beat BYU

My bad. USF and BC were the embarrassing ones. Especially USF since USF got it's doors blown off by Rutgers who lost to WVU yesterday.

Florida and Cincy?? A better match would be TCU and Florida. I don't don't believe Cincy is in the same league. If Pitt had a kicker Cincy would be sucking hind tit.

The same could be said of UF and Bama though. Both won games on missed FG's (TN & Ark)

Michigan wasn't supposed to beat Florida a few seasons ago, either...

Nothing is certain til the last second ticks off that clock.

Pitt has an alright kicker, but if you're referring to that botched XP, that was all on the holder.

Still, a 17 point 4th quarter lead shouldn't come down to what it did.

And, gets put back on, to tick off again................................

No question that second should have been put back on. Clear as a bell on the video replay and review which took all of 15 seconds.

Scorpion-Nothing is certain til the last second ticks off that clock.

You are right about that sir!! Miami was a huge underdog to Nebraska in 1984 and won their first of five National Championships (1 robbery).

I used to think I really had a clue as to just WTF was going to happen in college football. With mid-majors and even some FCS (Div II) schools being able to compete with the big boys, it makes for one helluva ride each fall.

Ever since App State spanked a VERY good Michigan team (who beat Florida BTW), I haven't been surprised by any of the crazy schit that can and will happen. Still, Cincy better bring their A-game +P+, as Tim Tebow is going to be playing like a madman. It'll be an exciting bowl season.

==============================

Think where my ammo supply might be now Sam it I tossed up a bravado bet that Bama was gonna spank Florida and for a box of bullets, at 2-1, I'd give them Florida and 10 points.

Folks have short memories when it comes to bowl games and "homering" sometimes doesn't equate to knowing the stats when teams play other teams out of conference and making your best bet.

I keep going back to the exact same type threads and posts when people were unthinkingly throwing up the exact same bravado when WVU played Gerogia and then Oklahoma in bowl games. I've been chuckling all weekend as I see the exact same type bravado being posted all over again.

Bob's gonna be rich I tell ya, rich!


and I'm gettin a cut, cause in the face of adversity (read that as some of his lame azz picks) due to my unwavering support, he likes me!

yeah we have glue up here too.......just sayin

Well, sort of I guess. But the TN field goal wouldn't have been missed if #62 hadn't blocked it. Then again there were two more Bama players inline with Cody and even higher up. So I guess I'd be more accurate saying that final field goal wouldn't have been missed if Cody hadn't blocked it and the two defenders behind him had missed it. And Cody blocked another FG before this one. These blocks were called plays. I believe I heard Saban refer to it as the "Max Block" formation. Good call, good atheletes, good execution. BTW there's a great photo of that final FG attempt in Bama's school paper. It's appropriately entitled Rocky Block.

you texas supporters gotta remember: bama will match up with texas even better than bama did with florida because mccoy is not the runner tebow is. saban will not lose two bowls in a row ...

You reckon? I ain't a Texas fan, but will root for them since Bear ain't in Bama anymore.

it will depend upon the planetary alignments.

while Tx has a chance, the odds are with the Tide. but, we've got 30 days to plan, adjust, consider, and "stay in shape."

on game day, it will depend upon who shows up to play, and who shows up to be seen. it's that simple.

I disagree. Colt's not as good as Tebow, but he can scramble and take advantage of an opening when he sees it. He won't be stiff arming or knocking guys over though.

Other than running yardage, what other stat advantage did Tebow have over Colt?

Other than running, the only advantage I say Tebow has over Colt is experience in the Big Game. Pressure ... how will Colt handle the Big Game pressure? A little nervous energy is good, but will he perform? If he get's behind, will he maintain poise and execute? I think so, but who knows.
