NCAA Football '12-13

Alabama's not any better situated than Georgia, Tennessee, Auburn or Ole Miss.

And all those schools are well situated.  It is no coincidence so many national titles have come from Alabama recently.  They are in a good location to recruit all around them.  Well that and the cheat.  It is not like Alabama needed a genius like Saban to win.  They won one with that buffoon Gene Stallings and the other Gene in Auburn is hardly Knute Rockne reborn.

Stanford @ Washington tonight.  Are the Huskies any good this year?

Nebraska doesn't have to do as well as Alabama to avoid becoming Iowa. They only need to win NCs once a generation or so to remain nationally known.

Well I would be shocked if they win another in my lifetime.  Winning NCs is not so easy, something you SEC guys might forget sometimes

A little too early to tell.  All they have really done so far is get steamrolled by LSU but that doesn't really say anything.

MBM,

Yeah too hard to tell what is up with Huskies.
Lost badly to LSU, blew away Portland St like should and beat SDSU, but only looked good in half of that game.

Bow Down!

Pretty good few days over at Century Link Field in Seattle.

Well, I guess we know a bit more about UW now.      Nice win for the Huskies.

   I just saw that Towson is at #3 LSU tomorrow.

Those poor kids aren't going to know what the fuck hit them.  I wonder if they'll ask for autographs afterwards.

[Ed Anger]

I fully expect the buckeyes to lose tomorrow.

Not a good start for Baylor (second play: INT).

E: Huh.  The Baylor D actually made a stop and forced a WVU FG attempt, which was missed.


WVU just got hit with the first helmet penalty I've seen.  Helmet popped off, dude kept playing (moving toward the ball carrier, not making a tackle or anything) instead of, idk laying down or something, penalty flag came out.

What was the call?  In the NFL the play is just blown dead when someone loses their hat, no idea it could be a penalty somewhere.

I'm not sure.  Let me find the exact call in the play by play. 

I just caught the replay when I came back from the other room.  They didn't even throw the flag at him until the play was over and he was walking back to pick up his helmet.  Announcers were calling it a bad rule, etc, but didn't say exactly what it was.

E:  Had to rewind.  15 yard personal foul for "pursuing the play after his helmet came off."  Here it is on the pbp:  Tyler Bitancurt kickoff for 56 yards returned by Demetri Goodson for 22 yards to the Bayl 46, WEST VIRGINIA penalty 15 yard Personal Foul on Troy Gloster accepted for a 1ST down.

I have been looking forward to this for weeks.  West Virginia up against a real Big 12 offense.  This game could end up 55-52
