How about the Western Michigan/Miami OH game? I recently returned from Waldo Stadium and was disappointed to find out when I got back that the RedHawks scored their first points of the season! :lol
In case you didn't notice, they got outscored about 80 some to nothing heading into that game. The Broncos did lead 28-0 at halftime though.

Okay. What's the point of being a rabble rousing provocateur if you add nothing to the post? I'm sorry that I shared my honest opinion that Oklahoma is better than FSU. You're entitled to yours as well. You were probably checking the score in 2006

Re: Biggest Shocker of the Week
Billybud, by not checking the scores of "those" games, who is the "those" that you are referring to? If it is non-ranked non-BCS matchup scores you mean then that probably explains a lot of our opposing viewpoints. LOL... There are fewer games between two non-BCS schools that are non-competitive overall than between two BCS schools. I say this because there is usually a bigger gap between the top team in a BCS conference and the bottom one than there is between the top and bottom of a non-BCS one. Top non-BCS teams are more likely to get upset by teams in the second division of their conference standings than top BCS teams are.
I mean which game is more likely to be in doubt in the 4th quarter Central Michigan/ Eastern Michigan or USC/ Washington State? I'd say the MAC game is a more competitive matchup. It are the close, competitive games that make CFB fun for me, that is why the MAC is my favorite conference. Although, I have to admit that right now your ACC is one of my faves as well.
Anyway, just trying to rattle your chain a little bit there. I always respect your opinions and realize that you are probably a lot closer to the majority of CFB fans than I am.
As far as my shocker of the week...I actually think UConn going to Waco and beating Baylor was my personally most surprising result. I thought, and still think, Baylor is a very dangerous team this year.

Don't be an asshat. I was straight up. I have often posted that I do not follow the midwestern non majors...they have no relevance down here. As I have posted, I follow the MEAC as well as regional teams like Georgia Southern and Valdosta St.
You seem a little sensitive. I doubt that I would have posted vitriol if you had responded to a post of mine about FAMU whipping Howard..that you don't check the MEAC scores.

Re: Biggest Shocker of the Week
And...FAMU vs Howard is very big in the black south, FYI.
A lot of tradition, battle of bands, two historically black universities....but I do understand that they aren't followed in the midwest.

You wouldn't have posted vitriol if I had responded that way because I wouldn't have in the first place
Plus, I don't understand why you are so stereotypical of my fanhood because I am from Michigan. I follow every team I can as closely as I can, MEAC and SWAC included. I watch the games on ESPNU, I know who LeRoy Vann is, Alcorn State was recently in town, etc. I'm a college football fan above everything else. Every time you post something challenging or potentially provocative without clarifying your original meaning, you open interpretation to it. When you throw in "dot dot dot" you add voice to your post and it makes the reader imagine the post in a more snobby fashion. When I react, I'm the sensitive one.

Re: Biggest Shocker of the Week
When I was young...I think Van Buren was President....we were concerned over our "manhood." What do you look at in the locker room that gives you "fanhood envy."
I think you can be a football fan and not care one iota about the SEC. I follow the Northwest Conference pretty close. They are Division III. I would think it very bizzare if anyone of the huddled massess....(See when Lazarus wrote that line and it was put on the Statue of Liberty.....I think this is a NCAA recruiting violation that needs to be investigated....only want immigrants that know about huddles...) where was I..oh yeah....that if anyone of the throngs that post on this site even knows one team that plays in the Northwest Conference...well..maybe fludidude...but there are some good schools there.
If being a football fan first and foremost is the standard to have a voice and a vote...
I also forgot how obnoxious UW Husky fans can be......

Eric...you are nutsy!
Look at my posts...75% of them are like this one...they have a dot..dot..dot..for punctuation. It is my posting style. And you want to "read" into the dots? Nutsy stuff, Eric.
BB posted within the last day or so, the following:
Chew on these a while, Eric...connect the dots that I leave open for "interpretation"...have a weirdfest. Be my guest.
What could he have meant?
What is the hidden meaning of the three commas? Did he mean dots?
"Of course" is set off by dots...does this mean maybe not of course, what is he implying?
Tebow not moving over is followed by the infamous dots. Does that possibly mean something? what is he implying?
Oh. He has thrown those dots all over this post. What is he hiding. He is just so wily. Does he mean Texas is good or is not good? He confuses me with those dots

I missed end of Auburn games as well....fell asleep and my better half came to get me to go to bed...
What could he have meant?

Of course...want to bet that Congrove had BYU - about 8?

He committed to Florida, saw that Tebow was not going to move over...and he transferred.

Eric.... It is early to be "sold" on any team.. BUT...my thoughts Texas...has looked good..I like them close to the top of my top teams. Oklahoma...lost to BYU and their O line looked porous. I don't like them as a top 15. USC...their loss makes me wonder just how good they are...

Re: Biggest Shocker of the Week
I sense a lot of reciprocity here.
They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.
The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.
See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.
