T1B

I'm barely paying attention to this game because I'm cleaning and playing with my daughter. Everytime I look up, Texas has the ball and either scoring or close to scoring. At this point, they have 35 points. We expected CU to not show up, but damn....

"there's still alot of football left to be played"

"Vince Young is making it look easy."

it is.

how the fuck is an unranked team playing in this game?!

Ahem (I need to look up the Big 10 rhetorical argument).

"Because our conference is so tough, we beat each other up. That's why we don't have more ranked teams."

Personally, I'd like them to ditch the divisions and just match up the two best records at the end since all 12 teams get the same cut regardless.

^^^^^

Agree, though it wouldn't be much different if Tech was in the game.

I'd like to see them do away with the Championship Game and go to a 9-game conference schedule. More times than not, the game does nothing positive for the conference other than a little money. I read that each school makes about $400,000 from the title game. Texas and Oklahoma make five times that for each home game.

That's what I wanted to say. Screw the divisional format, have the top 2 play, even though it could ruin a NC run. But let's say they play OU or whoever for a second time in a season...they lose and the other team in conf. champ even though they split the 2 games. Doesn't make sense. Play everybody once, a champ will be determined.

I never said anything about the B10 by the way.

The only time there should be a conference championship game...

...is if the two best teams in the conference have the same record and didn't play each other.

Colorado is so bad...they'd end up in last place in the PAC 10...

...yet they're playing for the championship in the Big 12???

Nobody is worse than Washington

I would have no problem with an extra conference game being played and throwing the CCG out the window. Playing nine of the 11 other teams would be enough to crown a champ IMO. But CCG = $$$ so you can forget about the AD's doing away with it.

Sincerely,
I have no idea wtf I'm talking about

FTFY

FUMBLE!!!!

If you think this game does anything but emabarass the league, you would be mistaken.

Nice game buffs.

63-3 and another fumble.

Moving up to 1-AA next season?

Exactly. Anybody who dings SC for the supposed lack of competition in the Pac10 should be forced to watch 5 minutes of this debacle.

couldn't happen to a more deserving guy than gary barnett.

somewhere, katie hnida is laughing her ass off.

ISU blowing the KU game was the worst thing that could happen for CU, kind of like everyone else choking so Neb could back into the Rose vs Miami. In both cases a winnable game was needed to exorcise the demons from a bad loss out of your system, instead you just got thrown into a position to lose bad again and throw your program into further disarray.

Props to the clones for managing to screw the buffs twice in the same year.

Embarrassing indeed.

I guess Mack called off the dogs at 70.

He could've topped the century mark if he wanted to. Just who did this pathetic CU team beat to get in this game anyway?

i dont know, but i'm sure Stanford wont be scheduling 1AA teams next year.


is there anyway stanford can play NAIA schools? they need the wins. cal davis was too strong

I hope the Buffs enjoy those Big 12 North Championship rings.

Props to Michigan...Champions of the Michigan division of the Big10!!!

Will they put the score of the Nebraska game on them this year?

I just want to jump in here and point out that Mike the drunken one seems like a really solid fellow. Sorry you have to live through this day, you don't deserve it.
Now if this was Iowa getting raped...............................

^^agreed, but damn his squad is a freakin side-show today.

How do you keep this team interested in a bowl game?

I can't believe they skipped the last part of the B12 game for USC-UCLA!!!

Might as well put on Heidi.

I would've expected a louder ovation for Leinart's last home game.

You expected them to put down the phone and PDA to clap?

They may sell out for this one.

Who's running the starbuck's?

Does this mean that CU is in the national championship game?

No....they change the rules? Good.

Stanford was 4-4 in the conference, tied for fourth place wiht Cal.
They probably could have beaten CU today. UC Davis would have kicked CU's ass.

Purdue, Illinois, and Indiana would not have beaten CU today. The rest of the Big10 rolls 'em.

Early Christmas....................God I love it. A truley horrific humiliation for a classless program.

I'll savor it, like Blue Label Scotch in front of a fire. (neat)

Yep. SHE would have been a difference-maker.

Exactly what I was thinking all during that game.

Excellent post, WV.

The only point of that game is to be a money grab. It's pure cynicism. If it were a Little League game the Mercy Rule would've come into play and the game would've been stopped. If it was a Rocky flick Mick would've thrown in the towel...

Colorado though, they wouldn't have implored Mick to "cut 'em". They never wanted to be there. They quit before the game began and they would've welcomed an early TKO...

I felt badly for Colorado's fans and I actually felt a bit badly for Texas too. Texas is a better program than this. They're a proud lot, with a lot of dignity. They and their fans shouldn't be subjected to having to take part in such charades.

In the same way the debacles of 2003 and 2004 forced the BCS to revamp their system these last two CCG farces should prove to be the impetus that finally forces the Big XII to abandon this current format.

Btw, Adel and Wolverine, regarding all your posts about USC's and the Coliseum's crappy fans?

I agree. Can't deny it. Sure, USC enjoys their fair share of true blue Jimmy Meds type fans. We have some real dyed in the wool "lifers", same as every other program. However, by and large USC's fans couldn't hold a candle to those found in Happy Valley, Death Valley (either one), College Station, Tuscaloosa, the Horseshoe, Norman or countless other CF meccas.

For a national power USC enjoys almost no real home field advantage. Compared to rolling into LSU for a night game before that hostile Roman bacchanal road teams coming into the Coliseum simply enjoy the sunshine and the girls and the history of the edifice itself.

They sure don't have to contend with a hostile crowd acting as a twelth man and making life tough on 'em. All they have to contend with is the team on the other side of the field. Lately, that's proven to be too much to contend with but I've always imagined what it would be like to have the kind of home court/field advantage enjoyed by Duke in Cameron Indoor Stadium or by the Chiefs at Arrowhead...

Fuckuva lot of bandwagoners there in the Coliseum, many of whom are merely there just to sport the gear and join in on the current "in thing" in L.A.

When I was growing up in L.A. the USC crowd seemed very different. In the 60s and 70s the "Coliseum faithful" truly were. Now it seems like we have a bunch of fat corporate types yukking it up alongside scores of coeds who just want to make it onto the internet...

These days, the Coliseum crowd looks way too much like Laker Crowd.

Good thing there's no CU/NU rivalry- there's no telling what you'd do to celebrate if there was.

I was kind of hoping Mack would hang a hun on the Buffs- then the Corn could go get humiliated by FLA State in the Whateverthefuck Bowl instead of CU.

Perhaps the result of a little Ward Churchill karma?

Ward is no different from 90% of the Boulder faculty in that they firmly believe that athletics are run by the Bourgeoisie to stupefy & oppress the masses.

Wow, I am impressed. That was the most honest take on SC from a true fan that I have ever seen. Doesn't really compare to Woody or Bo bringing a team out there for the Grandaddy of them all.
