Furd at USC, FSN/CSN Bay Area: I'm getting this awful feeling that the Trojans are going to find their way to the Pac-10 title while the rest of the teams crap their way to the pu-pu platter of December bowls. It'll start by an utter thrashing of the Furd. Oh wait, there's nothing awful about that last part.
Florida at South Carolina, CBS: This is the last real upset opportunity before the SEC title game. Can Spurrier show why Tim Tebow didn't deserve his #1 vote?
Iowa at Ohio State, ABC (to most of the country, ESPN2 to the rest): After all the upheaval in Columbus, the Buckeyes are still ending up in Pasadena. Can you imagine after all the excitement in the Pac-10 and we end up with a USC-Ohio State rematch? You think it's impossible, but I'm so picturing it right now.
Miami at North Carolina, ESPN2 (to most of the country, ABC to the South): Feels like the game where the Hurricanes let down. They've been playing with dice most of these conference games anyway.
Idaho at Boise State, ESPNU: For people who think Idaho can really knock off the Broncos from the BCS race, Boise is currently 31 point favorites. The likelier bet is Nevada the day after Thanksgiving.
Washington at Oregon State, Fox Sports Northwest: Huskies have to run the table to get to bowl eligibility. Naturally since I want Washington playing for nothing when we're playing our final game (and I want Nick Holt's head to explode), go Beavers!
1 PM PST/4 PM EST
Fresno State at Nevada, CSN California: This doubles as a great scouting opportunity for our matchup with them in 2010!
2 PM PST/5 PM EST
UCLA at Washington State, FCS Pacific: Bruins try to keep their fleeting bowl hopes alive. A win here and at home to ASU and they earn their eligibility, although they might need some help depending on where they place in the Pac-10 standings.

Oregon
Don’t they have Arizona and Oregon State left on their schedule?

and ASU today.
I could see them losing one of those games (@Arizona). But I don’t think that’s as daunting as that sounds, given what they did to Oregon State last year and the fact that Zona is still unproven.

not as dependent on Dennis Dixon, I’d say… but yeah, there is always that possibility

Did you know that the species homo sapiens was evaluated by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and classifed as Least Concern for extinction?
Yea that’s what I get for trying to read about California Condors on Wikipedia.
In other words, Go Bears!
Harbaugh already showing he’s a scaredy pants: Electing to take the kickoff after winning the toss. He believes furd needs to start off with the lead if they want to win.

Helmet Stickers
I find it ironic that the furd has Axe helmet stickers given that they don’t have the axe. Also, their helmets look stupid now. I hope we never get helmet stickers. Ever.
I've been Honked...
I hope we beat them this year
The horror of hearing their announcer and their 1000 fans rushing the field still haunts my nightmares.
In other words, Go Bears!
Word.
We’re going to win the Big Game after Furd gets fellated all week for their ‘stud’ QB

Furd doing a nice job taking advantage of USC’s superior athletes with the bootlegs, fakes, etc
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.
You know, the more I watch Furd, the more I realize, Harbaugh knew what he was doing bringing in all those TE’s.
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.
they were listed at TEs but some of them willl be OT and some LBs

He’s off to a great start filling in for Stanzi. He’s 7-for-7 with 52 yards.

1. Furd has an awesome offensive line.
2. Let’s go SC!!!
3. I very much like the Furd Dollies outfits, if not the Dollies themselves.
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.
what do they do: run toby gerhart well
what is the one thing we do well on defense: shut down run
you guys are too pessimistic. there team isn’t that much different or better than last year’s, just luckier in more ways than one.

I was thinking the same thing, great they run it well, I think we can slow em down. Also, I haven’t seen a thing that says they can stop us from scoring, assuming we can get our offense clicking. Big assumption, I know.
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.
we didn’t have any trouble tackling James Rodgers… Syd’quan made like 100000 open-field tackles

Yo, future Virginia Cavalier, chill. Let’s start complaining AFTER the game later today. Maybe even during, but, until then, chill. With all due respect.
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.
Actually, wrong poster. Fuck, always confuse you and rollonubears, or maybe someone else. Fuck. Anyway. Chill. Still. I think.
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.
yeah, we don’t need the negativity right now. it’s pointless and not constructive.

How's the USC/Furd game looking so far?
I don’t get the broadcast over here
i'm here to clean your pool but i don't have a pool *bowchica bowow*
14-7 furd ... furd driving
USC turns it over leading to 14 points on offense
Furd’s OL is the most impressive part of their team

Haha, Petros just called Toby Gerhart "Gayhart"
Freudian Slip?
Oh and the Furd are rolling USC offensively.

stupid question....
What network/channel is our game on.
Side note: the band at the farmers market is doing the straightest most awful version of puff the magic dragon I,ve ever heard.

FYI ALL
I’m not going going to be able to stream the game. I reinstalled my tuner card, but for some reason it’s no longer working with flash media encoder. I’ve been troubleshooting for an hour. Let’s just hope there’s a stream on JustinTV.
awwww I don’t get to see the 200" plasma set?

I was just thinking: Al Groh may be in his last year at Virginia… he’s one of the few dudes I can name who run a 3-4 in college. Just sayin…
STAY THIRSTY, MY FRIENDS
he’d require a monumental sum and would probably be snatched up by an NFL or more high-profile program… but that would be pretty cool. I’m pretty close to sure that Tedford’s not going to let go of Gregory this year though, especially since we need to keep the 3-4 in order to keep a lot of our recruits. Not too sure about Alamar though.

wowz TD Iowa
nice run back… Ohio St. had a nice kick. I looked at that. landed on the 1yd line essentially. WHY CAN’T WE GET THAT? And then look at the blocking by special teams. We have terrible blocking. Honestly, DeSean’s returns made him look like superman, but we lacked the blocking and it was more him than it was the special teams…
There goes the Pac-10’s shot at getting two teams in the BCS.

Us this season and last and before last - no comment
Stanfurd this season – no comment

SC fans must be going into total meltdown mode right now. God forbid their fans will actually have to drive further than Pasadena for their bowl game
i'm here to clean your pool but i don't have a pool *bowchica bowow*
One thing's for sure
‘Furd defense sucks. If Best was playing he would’ve gashed them for 200yds+. Hopefully Vereen, Isi and DeBo will do the same!
In other words, Go Bears!
Big game's gonna get ugly....
stanfurds gonna kill us. unless we get a new o line, d line, qb, kicker…
We HAVE to beat USC in the collesium next year
Our program is getting left behind in the dust
In other words, Go Bears!
By whom exactly…Oregon is back down to earth, OSU is who they are every year, USC is no longer dominant, and Stanford still lost to Wake Forest this season. Sorry, I just don’t think the sky is falling.

Wow, I dropped off the kid to a birthday party and came back to see a double nickel on the board for Stanford. Wow. But we’ll still beat ’em.
by BlackandOldGold on Nov 14, 2009 3:38 PM PST reply actions
You gotta know how this whole series works. I know we’re all down about our team, but don’t forget that we can still end the season 9-3. It’s not impossible.
