Granted the real games are later tonight, but if football is on I am usually watching.

So far Cougar High looks like a mediocre HS team. If Southern Miss wasn't horrible they would be up by 17 with 2 minutes to go in the first quarter. Keenum has 5 straight incompletions at one point. Granted Cougar High still might put up 60, but so could this board against Southern Miss.

7-0 Southern Miss

14-0 Southern Miss

Keenum stats: 6-12 for 29 yards, 0-5 on 3rd down, 0-1 on 4th down, 2 sacks.

Still expect UH to score bunches against this defense.

I took SOM in the pick'em +13.5 was too tempting as was the prospect of seeing Rumps melt down.

14 all now.

What an awkward game for the Conference, and Both teams.

If Southern Miss wins, they go to a bullshit bowl game, Houston also goes to a bullshit bowl game.

If Houston wins, Southern Miss goes to Bullshit bowl, but will reap the money from Houstons BCS bowl game. Which could be millions to every Conference USA team.

21-14 USM

Good last 8 minutes of the half for Keenum.

Why the hell can't the Cougars stand up on their own field? There have been at least 10 slips by WR's and RB's for them.

You can't find the correct shoes at home? Either the equipment mgmr needs to be fired or more likely the school doesn't have any money to buy multiple pairs.

Blocked punt for a TD for Southern Miss.


28-14 USM

On the play before that Case was crying to the ref that he was tackled hard and apparently he didn't like it. Yell at your OL, buddy, not the ref.

poor Rumps is at this game, the Coogs fans look as if someone just ran over their dog.

Should have ran the ball there. Looked like they ate trying to get Keenum some stats.

See what I mean?

Keenum pick in the endzone.

Cougar High could still win this, but the Heisman talk all died this afternoon.

Agree on the Keenum stats.

So after the pick by the cougar D, they run it instead of letting their 6th year QB throw it.

28-21 USM

Pretty nice answering drive after the turnover and quick TD. USM not going away.

35-21 USM


Still more Cougar High guys losing their footing.

I kinda want uh to win. Denard and Fitz would annihilate that D in N'awlins.

Wow, three and out. UH is in BIG trouble.

No doubt about that.

Houston is the 60th rated total defense after playing against C-USA all year.

That fumble was touched by a Cougar who was clearly out of bounds.

USM ball

Game.

42-21 USM on a 60 plus yard TD pass.

This one's over. The cougs may score plenty more but the Swiss cheese defense cannot stop smiss.

You and Michigan fans have to be the only non Cougar alums pulling for them.

USM turnover. Keenum better do it now. TD drive of less than a minute.

Craig James just said one of the first things I have ever agreed with him on, Cougar High has to go for it here on 4th and 2 with 10:00 mins to go in the game.

Rumps was in chat/radio the other day blabbing about Houston and I told him that 6-5 Mizzou would beat the shit outta' Cougar High. He might believe me now.

Props to Southern Miss, but that was a total dick move trying a trick play up 21 with 3 minutes left in the game. If I was Sumlin, I wouldn't even shake that prick's hand...

Keenum pick 6. 49-21 USM

Cougar High is prolly the 4th best team in Texas. Baylor, TCU and Texas would all beat them.

Props to USM. Their impending win raises a few interesting questions:

1. Who gets the BCS bid that everyone had Houston penciled in for? I suppose TCU (with 2 losses) could be the BCS-buster if they move up two spots tomorrow. Alternatively, USM could get it if they move up at least eight spots and leapfrog TCU in the standings. Or the last bid could go to Boise (not eligible for AQ, but they could still get an at-large bid). And I suppose it's also possible that a Big XII rep (Okie Light or Kansas State, though not likely Oklahoma) could get an at-large bid.

2. Could USM's win pique the Big East's interest in them? Certainly they're now in position to help the Big East with respect to AQ status (one of the categories is percentage of teams with Top 25 finishes measured against the highest conference.)

Or they could just blow up the Big East as a football league. That would be better.

Pretty sad state for the Big East that they would even consider adding teams just because it would help them keep their AQ.


As for the BCS I don't see USM getting it with 2 C-USA losses. TCU maybe, but Michigan has to be in for sure.

Sorry Rumps. Here's hoping the vodka or whatever is going down nicely.

But I can't lie that I am so happy Cougar High lost.

I'm assuming all the BCS bowl matchups are now basically set...

Title Game: Bama vs LSU

Rose: Oregon vs Wisky-MSU winner

Sugar: Georgia vs Michigan if Georgia wins tonight, otherwise it'll be Michigan against either Boise St, K-State or Okie St

Fiesta: Stanford vs OU-Okie St winner

Orange: ACC vs Big East winner

Oh, and good job, C-USA. Instead of just allowing the regular season to mean something by awarding your championship to the team that already earned it through finishing two games ahead of its CCG game opponent, nope, you just had to go and play this stupid Cash Grab game anyway. Now you've lost out on the much larger paycheck your conference would've shared by sending Houston to the Sugar Bowl.

Excellent.

Wow. Houston finally played a game against a team that was marginally in the top 25 and what happened? They were exposed. Thank God this fucking farce finally came to an end.

Case Keenum was a Heisman candidate? Fuck him and the horse that he rides nightly.

jeez, I knew Southern Miss was going to be tough, but never dreamed they'd kick Houston's ass the way they did....

I'm guessing that Keenum may have just said adios to his free trip to NYC

This is such a tough, tough day. Can't put into words how I feel right now, but I have to tip my cap to the Southern Miss Golden Eagles today. They came ready to play and they absolutely kicked the Coogs' ass today.

Sure, there were points left on the field, but the better team won today. It's disappointing with all that was at stake, but Houston doesn't deserve a BCS bid for the way they played.

My stomach is in knots right now. I need beer and a face to punch repeatedly.

Yep, Barkley's definitely going now. It'll be Luck, Richardson, Barkley and RGIII in NYC.

RGIII just threw an INT in the endzone and is losing to Texas with 2:00 to go before half.

Haaa! Last I checked, Baylor was up 14-0 and RGIII had begun the game with a bomb for a TD.

Guess I'd better not blink during that one, huh?

Either way, Keenum's probably out and Barkley's almost certainly in now.

That is precisely why C-USA never should've played this farce of a game. They just pissed away the conference's first BCS bowl game, and for what?

I feel your pain brother......

At least you're not this guy.

I bet he paid somebody to do that.

USM is one of the designated SEC homecoming opponents.
