2016 College Football Week 6: Beat OU

[canderson]

Hurricane Matthew is playing havoc with scheduling. LSU at Florida has been postponed and they don't have any mutual weeks off the rest of the season. No,idea how they'll handle the makeup game.

Tulane at UCF and Charlotte at Florida Atlantic both have been moved back a few days. No news yet on Florida State at Miami, I imagine it'll go on as scheduled since it's Saturday night.

To the games! Tennessee travels to aggy in the biggest matchup this week. Alabama travels to Arkansas as well, maybe piggy can pull off a massive upset.

It's also Red River Shootout week. I have no faith but hook 'em anyway. It's sad this game is now just a regional deal and no longer one of the biggest game of the year.

[Kremlin Watcher]

According to this article in SB Nation, Texas-OU produces the most statistical upsets in major rivalry games, with the dog winning seven times since 1986. Texas holds a 5-2 edge in those seven upsets.

At least that's what I keep telling myself.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Can't believe FSU-Miami hasn't been postponed or moved as of yet.

 

[RingoOSU]

I bet OU runs the table now. Oh well. Those 2 early losses were sweet.

 

[Drocca]

Best Bets:

Alabama -14
Miami - 3

We stole last year. I don't think it happens twice in a row.

Oh plus we can't tackle.

 

[Bosoxen]

I, strangely, actually have a good feeling that we might pull off the upset. But since I just broke three tackles while typing that, I know I'm just deluding myself so I don't cry while watching the game.

 

[RingoOSU]

If Texas does win, the fire Stoops people will probably have the most momentum they've ever had.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Poor Clemson has no idea what they're up against tonight.

 

[kenneycb]

I know, traffic on Comm Ave is going to be brutal getting to the stadium. Might have to forfeit.

 

[Ale Xander]

Poor Clemson has no idea what they're up against tonight.

On newenglandclemsonclub.com they're already getting prissy about the Flynn Fund
Awesome

 

[Infield Infidel]

A little dusty in here after that Corso montage.

 

[johnmd20]

It's raining incessantly in Carolina for the ND/NC State game. Brutal field right now.

 

[canderson]

NC State really should've postponed this game until tomorrow.

 

[Bosoxen]

This Texas team is a complete and utter fucking disaster.

 

[BigMike]

NC State really should've postponed this game until tomorrow.

Eh, wimp. This is fun. Not saying I wish i was there. But this would normally be a pretty dull to watch matchup between a couple of very mediocre football teams, but instead this is a tremendously compelling game to watch.

ND punter just hit one about 80 yards in the air.

 

[canderson]

This Texas team is a complete and utter fucking disaster.

He is so gone.

 

[54thMA]

This Texas team is a complete and utter fucking disaster.

Don't worry, the bozo refs will save them; how is that 15 yards for roughing on just Oklahoma when the Texas player kept giving him the business?

Good job ref; utter horseshit.

 

[54thMA]

It's raining incessantly in Carolina for the ND/NC State game. Brutal field right now.

The field is a complete quagmire...........Giggidy.

Oh I love it. But it's just risking injury at this point.

I'm about to go to a show at Ford's Theater. Unless Booth shoots me in he head the experience will be better than watching this Texas team.

 

[canderson]

[johnmd20]

The field is a complete quagmire...........Giggidy.

How do they emerge victorious from the quagmire, leave the football field waving Notre Dame's flag higher? Yo, turns out they have a secret weapon, a quarterback unafraid to step in, he's constantly confusing and confounding NC State's Henchmen, everyone give it up for everyone's favorite Fighting Irishman!

DEE KIZER!

 

[shawnrbu]

Much like the LA Rams, Pitt needs to wear the uniforms they are wearing today all the time. Memories of Dan Marino, Tony Dorsett and Mark May.

I was just about to post, they look so good in those unis

 

[Bosoxen]

He is so gone.

Yeah. Win or lose, this game will not be the job saver he probably hoped it would be.

 

[Infield Infidel]

I was wrong about Kansas, they are picking off Kenny Hill like his name was Rex Grossman

 

[shawnrbu]

Texas' defense is offensive.

 

[Bosoxen]

I think Charlie may use all 9 lives in this game.

 

[DaveGallagher]

OU player had his arm pinned between ball and UT chest and they call it an int?

My dog throws more accurately than he.

 

[Bosoxen]

This sucks. I really wanted Strong to succeed. But apparently you can't win and run a clean program.

 

[54thMA]

I like the way you think.................

 

[johnmd20]

My dog throws more accurately than he.

Heh!

 

[BigMike]

ND steals one on 4th down. Kaiser was OOB short of the first down there

 

[Bosoxen]

Bye bye Charlie Strong. No way he survives this disaster.

 

[Infield Infidel]

That Bakefield fumble was really something

 

[soxhop411]

That was NOT a fumble in the IU game. Some home cooking.

 

[BigMike]

Boy Brian Kelly was just incredibly stubborn out there in that ND loss. He refused to concede the weather conditions and accept that his team could not throw the ball.

 

[Rick Burlesons Yam Bag]

That was NOT a fumble in the IU game. Some home cooking.

Obviously I am a buckeye fan but I thought the ball came loose before he threw. With that said, it was not all that clear and I would have understood if they had gone the other way with it.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Go Navy!

 

[Infield Infidel]

Houston gets a TD but Navy blocks the PAT, 41-33

 

[Clears Cleaver]

Even if Houston wins this game does it knock them out of playoff?

 

[doldmoose34]

Glad some of you other boys are watching Navy Houston too

 

[Sox and Rocks]

Boy Brian Kelly was just incredibly stubborn out there in that ND loss. He refused to concede the weather conditions and accept that his team could not throw the ball.

I've always thought he was a solid coach, but this year is really challenging that notion. Not adjusting the offensive plan and play calling in literal hurricane was horrendous

 

[Time to Mo Vaughn]

Big decision by Navy electing not to attempt field goal up 9 with 4th and 1/2 yard on Houston 16. Long drive at least burned a lot of clock for them.

 

[Infield Infidel]

WOW. Houston punting, Navy lines up with no returner, Houston snaps it over the head of the punter, Navy gets a safety. 43-33.

edit- Houston's punter is 6'6"

 

[Infield Infidel]

heck of a play by Houston on that TD catch on 4th and 12

 

[Ale Xander]

holy s**t what a catch in Annapolis!

 

[Ale Xander]

But Navy recovers the onside kick.

 

[Ale Xander]

Navy fumbles 1st down but recovers that too.

Houston uses last timeout.
