College Football Week 3 Thread

[DanGenck]

What do the sheep have to say after yet another lose? How many loses must we endure before there is a change at the top? It was a great game, yes. But it is about time to we get on the winning side of these games.

Scientists have determined that giddyness over college football wins affects the grammar center of the brain.

I caught your subtle joke...

Video from the onside kick at the end of the Oregon/Oklahoma game:

Even if you ignore the issue about whether or not Oregon touched the onside kick within 10 yards, the Ducks didn't even recover the onside kick!

I am not giddy over a win. My alma mater is coached by a loser. Tennessee is the Boston Red Sox of college football. There I typed it! Of course there is a rivalry with Florida. Ainge played well but what is with the grounding to avod the sac? Justin Harrell is a true warrior, unlike Kelvin Winslow Jr. Harrell played the whole game with a ruptured bicep and will be having surgery this coming week but wanted won last chacne to beat Florida.

That lose last night almost guaranteed Philip a contract extention and a raise. To paraphrase David Brinley on the night of Clintons re-election, "We can look forward to four more years of wonderful, inspirational speeches full of wit, poetry, music, love and affection, plus more god**** loses to Florida."

Sorry. Original post corrected.

KnoxVegas,

I know this is a no biggie, but I also can't speak for LaxRef. However, he may be referring to your use of "lose", so I think you meant "loss." I realized that LaxRef was just kidding about that. Or I may be assuming that you purposefully used the word lose or loses. Again, that is a NBD (no big deal).

Off the point, what if Fulmer and Tennessee lose this Saturday, will Phil still get that contract extension?

This just in from Northeast D.C.:

Gallaudet 18
SUNY-Maritime 13 Final

This is Gallaudet's first win versus a DIII school since their 7-3 victory over St. John's Fisher in 1991.

Thanks for that info! Glad to read that my alma mater got its big DIII win.

Pac-10 suspends officials for errors that cost Oklahoma:

The fact that the errors on the onside kick altered the outcome of the game is most unfortunate and unsettling," Hansen said in a statement. "We had a solid veteran crew assigned, and the instant replay official had a fine career as a referee in the Pac-10. We believe in the ability and integrity of each individual involved. It should be noted that not all of the seven officials were directly involved in the play in question, but the entire crew bears responsibility for every play. Game officials and replay officials have positions of great responsibility and must be accountable for their actions.

"Errors clearly were made and not corrected, and for that we apologize to the University of Oklahoma, coach Bob Stoops and his players. They played an outstanding college football game, as did Oregon, and it is regrettable that the outcome of the contest was affected by the officiating."

Never heard of someone trying to do this before?

University of Oklahoma president David Boren sent a letter Monday to Big 12 commissioner Kevin Weiberg, saying the officiating problems was beyond an "outrageous injustice," and asking him to pursue having the game eliminated from the record books and having the officials involved in the game suspended for the remainder of the season.

Weiberg responded with a statement saying the result of the game would stand.

"There is no provision under NCAA or conference rules for a game result to be reversed or changed as a result of officiating errors, nor do I believe there should be," he said.

Boren acknowledged the Pac-10's response to the situation.

"I appreciate the apology issued by the Pac-10 Commissioner and his action in penalizing the game officials," Boren said in a statement. "I hope this will lead to further national review of the responsibilities of replay officials and the way in which they interact with game officials on the field. I also hope this situation will lead the Pac-10 to change their policy of requiring that only officials of the Pac-10 officiate the home games of Pac-10 universities when they are hosting a non-conference opponent."

[Danny Hogan]

was the outcome of the game more affected by the offcials or oklahoma's crappy defense?

[StrykerFSU]

...the officiating problems was beyond an "outrageous injustice,"

I'm just glad that not only does the school President have time to concern himself with the outcome of a football game, he also is not given to hyperbole. Seems to me to be one administrator who has his priorities straight and his feet planted firmly in reality.

Is the Pac-10 the only major conference that forces conference teams to use conference officials for out of conference home games (i.e. Oklahoma at Oregon). (I know that's not the case in the ACC or SEC.) Don't know about Big Ten, Big 12, or Big East.

[Danny Hogan]

i could be wrong but i believe the SEC only uses visiting officials for games involving BCS conference teams.

George O'leary aired some sour grapes after the 42-0 woodshedding they got 2 weeks ago.

[sohotrightnow]

SEC officials were used in the Tennessee/Cal game and Arkansas/USC game so Danny seems to be right.

[Danny Hogan]

thats dicey, i know that UF/FSU always uses the visiting team's officials, i think now they even bring in big XII or X officials for the game, doesn't seem they have set system.

One of the many bad calls made on Sat:

Interesting how the SEC keeps changing their story!
