Yep, or Sociology. If you can't make it through one of those majors with a whole team of tutors available to you, you better hope you're making it to the NFL.Quote:

Freshman year my first room mate was an OU corner back. I asked him if he'd play as a ringer on our intermural flag football team. He said he wasn't allowed to do stuff like that because the possibility of getting hurt. He ended up dropping out. Not sure if he was cut or just quit.. Sophomore and not living in the athletic dorm so he must have been on the bubble..Quote:

Oklahoma's playing these guys Saturday. I hope they don't forget to put the sauce packets in the bag like they usually do..

OK no more laughing or taunting..
Time to see how Oklahoma adjusts to playing a team with GOOD defense
I am confident The Ohio State Buckeyes will pull away from South Bend with a win.
I am hopeful that Oregon Ducks cover the spread and stop the Boulder hype train.
God I hate the Suckeyes so much. REALLY hope ND beats them. Also rooting for the Buffs hype train to run over the Ducks. Should both be good games at least (Ole Miss/Bama as well?!?) so hopeful for some entertaining CFB for the rest of the day.Quote:

Clemson lol. Fuck Dabo Sweeney.
Probably going to watch the Buffs get steamrolled but whatever.
CU and PrimeTime have some nice swag too….Where can I buy one of those CU hats? Sweet….
*I do think they are going to get crushed today/ this part of their schedule/ the teams are much better than the first three games.
Halftime update: They are getting crushed…lol.
Prime might have been taking receipts. But he showed up with no money to pay for anything today. Ducks not taking any of his IOUs. Love the total beat down. 35-0 378yds to 21yds. That’s substance!
Well it was a fun three weeks.Quote:

Oregon gonna run up the score! Ha ha. Prime is a genius marketer.
OK maybe they're not cheating.. :FIREdevil
Thought CU would at least keep it within 2 TDs. JFC.
Cuse 4-0!
I wonder if they’ll go for 100?
I approve this message. LETS GO IRISH.Quote:

3 games of film to study on CU. They don’t have the depth to change much.
Easy now with the Bearcats. I’ve got a soft spot for em (Dad ran track for UC).Quote:

Lot of PAC 12 teams will get exposed as they start conference play. CU was/is a great redemption story but somehow everyone forgot they barely beat a not so good CSU in double OT before getting thumped yesterday.Quote:

I’d say that the PAC will cannibalize itself as usual. The PAC is absolutely loaded this year. But as they beat each other up the national narrative will change. That Norte Dame vs OSU game was a total snooze fest, and those teams are supposedly top level. The fuskies offense looks downright unstoppable and there’s not a team in the country that wants to play the cough plus that Utah D is 85 bears like. USC is overrated and sloppy. As long as Nix stays healthy the Ducks can beat anyone.
And how foolish of coach prime after the game saying he’s keeping a receipt on Lanning. Your team got absolutely manhandled and out coached . Then went on a rant about how teams better get “him” now as “he’s” as bad as he’s going to be. Way to throw your current team under the bus. He did admit they got walloped and out coached but had to keep up the facade.

Am I the only one who thinks Lanning looked like a light-weight throughout this game? They beat a 20+ point underdog and he acted like he was defending the honor of U of O and college football in general. Sanders’ comment about offending people insecurities seemed spot on. Don’t recall Georgia dwelling on the ass kicking they gave us last year.Quote:

I'm with ya, but I'm a CU alum and a Sanders fan so I'm biased. College football coaches think they're gods so it's not surprising that they start acting like insecure attention whores when the spotlight shifts.Quote:

I'm a solid fan of Sanders through his entire shape shifting career. I'm also a fan of the amateur status side of college football. When they stop being actual students it becomes just another XFL/USFL side gimmick.
CU needed to be brought back down to reality here on earth. But I'd laugh my ass off if they find a way to beat USC. Grinch's defense has always sucked. Deion and CU can expose that.. A track meet would be pretty interesting..
Here's to an exciting rest of the season through the bowl games and playoffs.
I didn't see that at all. A higher ranked team playing a much lower ranked team but the whole country is talking about the lesser team as a world beater after barely beating a shitty CSU team in double OT. The Ducks just wanted to ball out with all eyes on the game.Quote:

They take returns if you have receipts.Quote:

Very cool, both the player and the program for letting a kid compete. I'm sure it was a long and tough road for that young woman to get there.Quote:

Lanning has a chip for sure. He thinks Oregon is underrated. There’s been a definite shift in protocol where coaches think they need to really run it up to get attention from the press. Fucking stupid as all you need to do is win games. No undefeated team has gotten denied entry in the BCS.
I say good for Lanning. He accomplished what he set out to do. Took all the media attention and turned it into a big Oregon win. Fans never seem to realize that a different team shows up every week. The Ducks looked great Saturday, just gotta keep looking great. I’m a big Bo Nix fanboy. Hope he can lead them to the Pac12 championship.
