As an OU fan, I was ready for some football. Then our middle linebackers suffered half a dozen injuries and the death of an All-American. Also, our starting HB and NFL-bound WR went down for the season. THen the other receivers, who were GREAT in single coverage, forgot how to catch the ball. THen Landry Jones stopped palying like Peyton Manning and took more after ELi.
So, after the worst Bedlam game I can remember, I am still ready for some football, but don't see it happening til next year.
On the upside, if the o-line is rested, tomorrow the Steelers might show me some football. After last week, they better.
Lions have backed themselves into a corner by loosing some games that they shouldn't have; not thier in a pickle for wildcard slot that is not very likely. Still, must say I have enjoyed the season so far.

I think it's been a good season to be a Lions fan. Hope is better than no hope.
And I don't see the NCG happening for OSU, but then I ahven't checked to see if they got their required minimum 25% of 2nd place votes, or how the computers view the game last night. They could edge out Alabama, but I think their headed to the Fiesta Bowl.
Wish OU had been more prepared for their three losses, and that the injuries (maybe the worst I've ever seen for a team, to be honest) hadn't mounted up when and where they did. But I guess if you're pissed about a 9-3 season, you're living in tall cotton.
I'm one of those rare guys that can say 'Boomer Sooner' AND 'Go Cowboys'.

The BCS computer data hasn't been released yet; the CBS prediction of the data is that the computers will rank Oklahoma State just barely over Alabama, but who knows for sure? Nobody until 8:15 PM ET.
Coaches' poll is out, with Alabama #2, Oklahoma State #3. Harris poll isn't out, but I'd expect it to reflect the AP and put Alabama #2.
When Alabama beats LSU and Oklahoma State crushes their Fiesta Bowl opponent, we can have a nice big controversy.
The Broncos won again! I'm confused, but tickled!;)

Is it too much to hope for a 49ers/Steelers Super Bowl this year? Yeah, I know the Ravens have beaten the Steelers twice this season, but in a year when the Lions have a winning season and the Bengals are #1 in their division, anything is possible.
Maybe this is a 'duh' question, but are you a Steelers fan!? I was incredibly disappointed when the Steelers gave up the game last Superbowl. Anyway, there's always next season. Also, if you're still in the Lakenheath area and know of any gaming groups (Pathfinder or D&D) open to a new member, I'd love to chat. (I always bring food to game night!) Thanks so much! keri.martell /at/ g mail dot com
13-0!! Now do they go for 16-0 or rest the starters after next week is the question.

You think the Saints can win in Green Bay Aberzombie?
Absolutely. They came close in that season opener, and the Saints have vastly improved since then. Big factor will be weather, but bad weather doesn't exactly mean a bad game for the Saints. If the passing games get grounded, it could give the Saints an edge.
Either way, it'd be a great game.
My big concern is the AFC. I think the Ravens will win out there, and that could spell trouble for any NFC team.
GO TEBOW!!! WUP THEM STEELERS!!!!
Go Steelers! Make my TV not annoying again!
And, um, go Texans!
I think you're asking for quite a bit there.
And MAD props to Roethlisberger and the MIGHTY MIGHTY STEELERS!!! They're real warriors.
Ogay; now my sick ass is going back to bed.
What do LSU and the Moon have in common?
They both control the tide!
GEAUX TIGERS!!!
316 passing yards. Revelation 3:16.
Coincidence?

I think the hata's give Tebow energy. Keep on hatin, hata's!!!
We need it right now, to get past them Pat's.

They still played an impressive game. And that Stafford is damn good. I expect the Lions to be dangerous again next year.
They need to fix their holes that allowed 90+ points over two games, but yeah, I'm already looking forward to next season.
For now, I'll throw my support to whoever wins the Saints/49ers next week. They're the only ones I think can take the (much hated and despised) Packers out. I'm rooting for the Giants, but I don't think they'll do it.
Get your popcorn and rosary beads this Saturday.
Brady? He's going to get tebOWNED!

Congrats to Bama on a well played game.
Not sure what the hell Les Miles and the Tigers were doing on offense, but at least the LSU defense tried to win the game.
Snoozefest. Would have been nice to have a +1 format so we could see what a team with an offense might have done. Alabama certainly did play good defense, but I wouldn't say it was done against a challenging offense.
Also, a good argument against all the turkeys who obsess over single games that it's not that simple when two good teams play. Apparently in similar repeats, it's about 75% in favor of the split vs. the same team winning twice.

But that's just it, with the exception of quarterback, LSU does have a decent offense. Hell, they put up lots of points and yardage all season long. However, when your starting quarterback isn't getting anywhere by practically running the option over and over again, you need to either change up your scheme, switch quarterbacks, or both.
And therein lies the problem. The LSU offense wasn't even trying, and didn't do anything to change what was going wrong. Granted, Bama's defense is incredible, but it's still the same guys they put up yardage and points against in November.
I agree, however, that a +1 system, or really any kind of playoff, is needed. It's something the SEC and ACC have both proposed, but has been shot down by others.
Why all the Packer hate? ;) Are you trying to upset the CEO and the lead designer?
