College Football check-in

Hands down the best game of the day so far has been N.C. State forcing overtime against #15 East Carolina by tying it up with just over a minute left. The Wolfpack finished off the upset on Andre Brown’s 10-yard touchdown run in overtime. All we know for sure is that Jeff Blake is furious with all of this. North Carolina State 30 East Carolina 24 F
Penn State got all crazy and played Temple at home. Wild shit. Pictured above is a rare still of someone on Temple successfully executing a football tackle. Penn State 45 Temple 3 F
Avid baseball fans that they are, Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor and Troy defensive lineman Dion Gales playfully reenact the Sheffield-Carmona fight.
It took awhile for OSU to get going but Pryor, just a freshman, finished strong and ended up throwing 4 TDs. Ohio State 28 Troy 10 F
Additionally and more importantly, this man’s cry for help and severe need to get laid remains thoroughly depressing:
Alabama beat up on Arkansas, scoring on two long interception returns for touchdowns. But the real take away from that game is that Nick Saban still reminds me of Sleepy Dwarf for some reason. Alabama 49 Arkansas 14 F
Oh, and Clemson crapped on South Carolina State 54-0. Snore.
Feel free to chime in here for the ND-Michgan State game or if you’re watching Florida urinate on Tennessee. Jimmy Clausen has seven completions, five to the Irish and two to the Spartans. Nice hair, dipshit.
And Boise State is all over #17 Oregon 24-6, nearing halftime.

HANG ON TO THE GODDAMN BALL

Florida should have been at lease a 10 point favorite. I don’t know how anybody could’ve taken Tennessee.
September 20th, 2008 at 6:43 pm
Confirmed: ND won’t be hyped.
September 20th, 2008 at 6:53 pm
ND sucks really? Man, After they beat Michigan last week I was sure they would go the rest of the season undefeated. Man am I stupid.
September 20th, 2008 at 6:58 pm
I must say, I like their young receiving core. Had some bad drops, but they haven’t talent like that at WR in years.
September 20th, 2008 at 7:06 pm
Yeah, how about it…UCLA loses at home to Arizona 31-10 and have now been outscore 90-10 since beating that awful Tennessee team (who appear to lack SEC speed)
September 20th, 2008 at 7:14 pm
Yeah. They haven’t had this kind of talent at WR in years. Two years, to be exact. It’s been so long…
September 20th, 2008 at 7:19 pm
yeah i seem to remember rhema and samardjza being decent
September 20th, 2008 at 7:59 pm
They haven’t been this deep there in a long time.
September 20th, 2008 at 8:01 pm
And I thought Samardzija was great for one year, he took a lot of plays off his senior year.
September 20th, 2008 at 8:22 pm
he still had 1000 yards and 12 tds his senior year, his junior year was slightly better at 1200 and 15

Rhema McKnight caught 15 touchdowns. John Carlson was one of the best tight ends in the nation. Their second leading receiver this year (Grimes) was on the roster then, and caught 26 passed. The top four receivers from two years ago combined for 558 career catches.
And just to clarify, Samardzija:
77 catches, 1249 yards, 15 touchdowns = great
78 catches, 1017 yards, 12 touchdowns = taking plays off
His catches went up… so was he taking plays off but still getting open? Both of those seasons were good enought to make him a Biletnikoff finalist.
I’d take the 2006 receiving corps any day. So would Charlie Weiss.

*Top four pass catchers from two years ago.

The never ending pain of the Philip Fulmer era continues…
September 20th, 2008 at 8:37 pm
Hey look on the bright side. You get NIU sandwiched between road trips to Auburn and Georgia.
September 20th, 2008 at 8:40 pm
while i would take that class (obviously as they were more experienced) the point about tate and floyd being stars is valid. tate is probably more exciting than any one player the irish have had in years, and floyd is a freak athlete.
jussssst need some blocking now
September 20th, 2008 at 8:42 pm
I hope we lose every remaining game. Fulmer has to go. It’s about the bigger picture now.
September 20th, 2008 at 8:55 pm
you know what was soooo good about that class with Quinn? that they still couldn’t win squat.
September 20th, 2008 at 8:57 pm
Weis*. I’d take a lot of things from 2006, but my point was they have freshman and sophomores in the receiving corps that look like the real deal, much deeper than I can remember in years past. Will they turn out great? Who the hell knows, but Samardzija didn’t arrive until his Junior year. Put that on Ty if you must.
September 20th, 2008 at 8:59 pm
Kamara seems like he could be a beast too, still a little raw though.
September 20th, 2008 at 9:43 pm
I don’t think I need say that I’ve had a awesome football day but yea… waking up at 8 this morning after going to bed at 3 for the game and tailgate was so worth it today.
September 20th, 2008 at 10:08 pm
Again, they were deeper in 2006. I guess you just don’t remember it, because that receiving corps was better in every way.
If you want to speculate about their future depth, that’s one thing, but that’s not what you’re saying.
The other thing I’ll put on Ty: teaching fundamentals, like “blocking”. Not sure if the current staff knows anything about it.
September 20th, 2008 at 11:54 pm
Even though both teams act like they have bigger rivals (and they do), there has been no better series over the last decade and a half than LSU/Auburn. Man, I can’t take another one like that. And it happens every year.
