This is the week where we find out if teams not named USC are actually contenders for the Pac-10 crown. With the three leaders in the campaign (sorry, I missed another sleeper in the recap post) about to embark on formidable road trips, we should monitor these games closely to see how these teams stack up against each other.
This thread should run for the morning games; two more will be up for the afternoon games and the evening. Note: television network schedule applies only to the West Coast. If you live elsewhere, consult this schedule and accompanying coverage maps.
Also, look out on College Gameday, there's a small chance one of our commenters will try to sneak into the madhouse behind Death Valley to get the Cal flag featured. He said the probability was low, but we'll see what happens. Good luck man, thanks for trying and hopefully you get in!
Morning thread: Use this to discuss any of the games that start around the times below. Afternoon thread will be up around 3:15 PM EST/12:15 PM PST for discussion of the afternoon games.
Noon EST/9 AM PST
#17 Auburn at Arkansas, ESPN HD
Purdue at Minnesota (hasn't Minnesota been on ESPN noon kickoffs the past six weeks? The Big Ten has such plum TV deals), ESPN2 HD
Georgia at Tennesse, CSN California
12:30 PM EST/9:30 AM PST
#15 Oklahoma State at Texas A&M, FSN HD or CSN Bay Area
Iowa State at #16 Kansas, ESPNU HD

Looks like the morning is a good time to get shit done around the house. Nothing too terribly exciting, although it did raise my eyebrows to see “#16” next to “Kansas.” I don’t Iowa St can do much about it though.

Can someone just open the Afternoon games thread. nothing to talk about with this mornings games. :(
Uh got up early today
Slept at 5AM and woke up at 9:30AM…
Turned out yesterday I joked to my mom that I want to get up at 8AM to watch football all day. She woke up at 9:30AM and realized that it was past 8AM and she thought I wanted to watch because Cal was playing. She got worried that I’d be pissed off if I missed a Cal game so called me and woke me up at 9:30AM. Oh well.
In other words, Go Bears!
Apparently you haven’t seen their schedule yet…

"You are the Tim Tebow of angry articulation!" - TwistNHook
LOL
The status update announcer for the Minn-Purdue game: “.. if Tim Teeboo will play…” LOL
In other words, Go Bears!
Actually, watching as much of the Big Te11n network as I have been with my Wisconsin-fan fiancé, I’ve started to enjoy the conference a bit.
"You are the Tim Tebow of angry articulation!" - TwistNHook
I’ll admit that I like watching in-conference games in the Big-10(11) because I like the old run it down the middle offense over the new spread stuff these days. But those Big-10(11) teams kinda suck and they don’t play anyone with a pulse in OOC games most of the time.
In other words, Go Bears!
Are you talking about the Big Eleven or the SEC? I can’t tell the difference anymore
"You are the Tim Tebow of angry articulation!" - TwistNHook
Marv Jones doing it right during his weekend off:
Up early with the fam… Goin to the Gun range a lil later… Then to Knotts Scary Farm… Gettin’ it in…

Ar-kansas beating Auburn 27-3 at the half
But I guarantee you Auburn won’t get the same shit sandwich from the media that Cal did losing like that.
"You are the Tim Tebow of angry articulation!" - TwistNHook
Well, no one expected Auburn to contend for their conference, or even a national, championship. Ryan Mallet is legit.
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.
I would’ve said that Meechegan misses Mallet but Tate Forcier has got fucking ice in his veins. Probably the best true freshman QB in the country and definitely better than many experienced QBs (coughrileycough)
In other words, Go Bears!
I’m not sold on Forcier.
Act all day, dance all night. Let's get it poppin'... I'm in Bombay, trick!
Not yet at least. For a true frosh though, has done some good things.
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.
Yea and that's why I like him
Imagine him with a couple of years of experience in Rich Rod’s system!
In other words, Go Bears!
I thought you liked him because of his dreamy eyes.

Texas A&M 8, Ok St. 7 early in the 2nd quarter. Is A&M at least decent again?

OK STate not as good as everyone thought and no Dez Bryant.
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.
Lied about a dinner at Deion Sanders house. Thought it was a violation, so lied. It isn’t. Suspended indefinitely. Appealing it.
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.
Kansas leads Iowa St 13-12.
Kansas’ extra point was the first one made today (Iowa St missed their first two and Kansas missed their first one).
Apparently it’s in the low 40s with chilly wind out there. God I get goosebumps thinking about that cold.
In other words, Go Bears!
woah, just got back from yoga, it fucking killed me this morning, I havent been able to go for like a month bc of Cal. Quickly, get me up to speed on all the morning action!

Truly, world peace hinges upon Tebow. Perhaps he should have gotten the Nobel.
PS Am I the only one kinda happy we have a bye? I need to just relax emotionally this weekend. I’ve been so verklempt these last few weeks.

Very. Sometimes I have more fun paying passive attention to 10 hours of football while doing other things around the house than I do paying extreme attention to 3 hours of Cal football.

I am super happy. I have a 5 day weekend. I really don’t want it ruined by Cal football.

I guess I dont see it. Unless Clausen repeatedly pokes the ground with his nose.
Which I am going to assume, he does.

Have you ever seen an emu throw a football?

Well, as a manager of the California Beaks in the Emu Football League, I actually am an expert on Emu and Large Flightless Bird-Related Football.

Then you would understand the resemblance in their throwing motions.
Act all day, dance all night. Let's get it poppin'... I'm in Bombay, trick!
I would not want to be the dude that took that picture.
You’d have to be in the process of getting pecked to death. The bird one looks pretty good though.
Except that Notre Dame kinda sucks. And his numbers are going to start getting less pretty with Floyd out.

WTF is that tot he right of him? He looks more like those Italian guys from the CGB Team Photo. I mean like the South Bend hair gel industry must be in dire straights with Claussen hoarding it all.

Is that Tyler Hansborough right next to him?

Ouch for Minn
Their backup center is injured. The starter is out for the season. But Minn 28-13 Purdue.

Im about to go to a local elementary school where some of my friends are volunteering to clean on weekends. To be nice and all. I volunteered,t oo! To look all nicenshit. But, in reality, Im just gonna hang out, do minimal, if any, work, and then reap all the benefits. ITS A CANT FAIL PLAN! I get to chill with my friends, people think Im nice because I volunteer to clean at elementary schools and then I dont have to do shit.
But, honestly, I do it. For the kids. I wish others were as caring as I was. I wish others cared about the kids like I do. I just can’t wait to become a Boy Scout Scoutmaster! Stupid Megan’s Law…..

Poor poor Purdue
Minn blocks Purdue FG and takes it in for 6. Minn 35-13 Purdue.

Is there any game worth watching?
