Finally.
After months and months of anticipation, 2009's version of college football is upon us. In just half-an-hour, Steve Spurrier's South Carolina Gamecocks (Garnet and Black Attack) will take on Tom O'Brien's North Carolina State Wolfpack (Backing the Pack) on the Worldwide Leader. Not a marquee matchup, but hey -- it's pigskin, so it counts. Plus, if you haven't got a chance to watch him yet, NC State's QB, Russell Wilson, is a stud. He's basically the Robert Griffin of the ACC. So, at the very least you can watch him.
I have the Wolfpack winning, by the way. Mostly because of Wilson, but homefield advantage doesn't hurt, either.
ESPN's late game, though, is a real treat. The Oregon Ducks (Addicted to Quack) will battle the Boise State Broncos (One Bronco Nation Under God/OBNUG) in a matchup of Top 20 teams, taking place on the blue turf in Boise. This one should be an amazing, offensive game, so that'll be exciting. Jeremiah Masoli is the star for Oregon, with the supporting role going to runningback LeGarrette Blount, a real physical specimen. The Broncs are led by Kellen Moore, who thankfully is no longer a freshman so we don't hear how amazing it is that he's a freshman a thousand-million-jillion times on the television broadcast. Crisis averted.
I'll take Oregon in a mini-upset. They are dangerously talented, and no more Ian Johnson for the blue-turfers. Also, Oregon has absolutely fantastic uniforms. And I'm being serious.
Anyways, this is your Open Game Thread for the night's action. There are a handful of other games on local television, the interwebz and even the always exciting North Texas @ Ball State matchup on ESPNU (full schedule here -- and don't forget about the "web-only" games, which can be found at the very bottom), so feel more than welcome to talk about those as well. Basically, these Open Game Threads, or OGTs, are just a place to hang out and chat it up about football.The primary topics will be the two games on ESPN, I'm sure, but we frequently go off on tangets here at RCT. It's a very laid-back atmosphere, and a perfect way to get into the flow of posting if you have been a lurker.
I will be here, for sure, and I'm sure there will be at least a couple others. So, come on by and let's get the 2009 college football season started off on the right foot.

SWEET!!!
First OGT of the season…
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
OK, I'm running slightly behind.
So, I probably won’t show up u ntil RIGHT around 7 o’clock.
Hopefully it won’t just be me and denver…tear.
I’m rooting for Boise, but I want Jeff Maehl to do well for Oregon. Local high school, blah blah. After Aaron Rodgers, we’ve been kinda void of anyone to root for.
Insanity is just a state of mind.
I think...
I’m going for Oregon…I’m kind of over the Boise State thing
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
NIKE ARMORED/BULLETPROOF JERSEYS!!! WOOHOO

HAHA, my oh my, how I have missed these OGT's.
lol can't have a CKC without KC - Nicholai Khabibulin (LN21)
I am too, but as a follower of the Pac-10, Oregon must lose.
Insanity is just a state of mind.

Btw, Coach Mangino's
first edition of Hawk Talk is about to be on air. For those in the KC area, 610Sports. Those not in KC, 610sports.com and hit the “Listen Live” link in the top right.
lol can't have a CKC without KC - Nicholai Khabibulin (LN21)
thanks for the link
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
I heard the Oregon-Boise St. game
called the matchup between the team with the ugliest uniforms and the team with the ugliest field.
I absolutely love Oregon's uniforms.
Nearly all of the combinations are fantastic. It’s obviously an age thing, and probably a west coast-type thing, but I just love those colors. And love those combinations.
Love. Them. To. Death.
I hate this new shake hands thing
before the game. There’s gonna be some BRAWLS!
lol can't have a CKC without KC - Nicholai Khabibulin (LN21)
I heard about that, should be interesting when KU and MU have to shake hands before
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
I'm just glad the fans don't have to, too.
I’d be worried to get stuck with a needle.
lol can't have a CKC without KC - Nicholai Khabibulin (LN21)
They get all pumped up in the locker room
and the tunnel and ready to tear their heads off, then gotta mellow down and shake hands with the enemy… Puh-leeeease…
lol can't have a CKC without KC - Nicholai Khabibulin (LN21)
So, growing up I always had three favorite teams.
Obviously, Kansas was always my favorite. I loved Kansas.
For whatever reason, though, the other two are random. Really random. I’m talking like back when I was 8, I had drawings on school folders of these three teams.
Anyways, those two other teams were Oregon and Virgina Tech. For whatever reason. I’ve always loved Oregon, though. I can’t explain it, I’ve just always liked them. Everyone has teams like that, I think. I just have a lot of them.
So, go Oregon. Oh, and another of those teams, albeit on a much lesser level, is NC State. So, go NC State.
You just like Oregon for the uniforms, don’t you?
Insanity is just a state of mind.
by KTJ on Sep 3, 2009 6:04 PM CDT up reply actions
I was 8.
BAck then, they didn’t have as cool uniforms.
Joey Harrington (only in college, people — only in college) was my favorite player growing up.
I loved him sooo much.
2nd favorite teams????
bah!!!
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
Haha.
I was 8, man.
Obviously, there is no “second-favorite” team now. But, there is definitely a whole host of teams that I tend to root for more often.
Which online game should I be watching?
With the inability to switch between multiple games, I feel bored. I need another game on in the backgorund on my computer screen.
What's your narrowed down list of options?
lol can't have a CKC without KC - Nicholai Khabibulin (LN21)
Um. A whole bunch of shit.
I’m gonna go with Troy @ Bowling Green. At least I get to see a pretty damn good team (Troy) and a really fun offense to watch (Dave Clawson, the new head coach at BGSU).
Just kidding.
The whole thing was a crock.
It costs fucking money. That’s bullshit.
Maybe I’ll just watch the Chiefs game.
Yeah, this is just ridiculous.
They told me it was free. I guess just the bullshit volleyball game or whatever I tested it on was free. They charge you for the shit people actually want to watch.
What. Ever.
OK, I just found the game free
But it only works with Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player.
What. The. Fuck.
Btw,
I just hit reply on this and it got all glitched out on the right side of the comment box.
Not pleased.
lol can't have a CKC without KC - Nicholai Khabibulin (LN21)
Mangino calls Meier
maybe the “most important player” he’s ever had at KU.
lol can't have a CKC without KC - Nicholai Khabibulin (LN21)
What do you guys think of Army’s uniforms? I love ‘em, I think they’re wearing them every game, right?
Insanity is just a state of mind.
I loved 'em when they wore them last year.
If they wore them every game, though, it would lose some of its awesomeness, I think.
Mangino say
Toben’s name first when talking about backup RB. Rell second. Says Rell improved alot in the offseason.
lol can't have a CKC without KC - Nicholai Khabibulin (LN21)
I'm glad Sean McDonough is calling the game.
I hope he calls games all season long on Thursday nights.
The less Chris Fowler there is in the world, the better.
U.S. Open is the reason why
probably
by I need more Esteban on Sep 3, 2009 7:20 PM CDT up reply actions
what's wrong with Fowler?
I like him
by I need more Esteban on Sep 3, 2009 7:21 PM CDT up reply actions
He's arrogant as absolute hell.
HE thinks he’s the shit, and acts like he knows what he’s talking about. When he doesn’t. At all.
I don’t mind him on Gameday. And he isn’t a bad broadcaster, really. Just him, as a person, pisses me off.
I realize I need to stop being so judgmental, yes. I’ll work on it.
haha I guess I just don't know him that well
Yeah I like him on Gameday cause he hates on the idiots when they say stupid shit
by I need more Esteban on Sep 3, 2009 7:25 PM CDT up reply actions
They just said
Saturday’s game is sold-out. For Northern Freaking Colorado!
lol can't have a CKC without KC - Nicholai Khabibulin (LN21)
Btw,
Opurum is pronounced
“OH-POUR-UM” in case you had ever wondered, like I have.
lol can't have a CKC without KC - Nicholai Khabibulin (LN21)
No, just sayin'.
Btw, I saw Omigie outside the Towers today, FWIW.
lol can't have a CKC without KC - Nicholai Khabibulin (LN21)
I've seen Sellers, Webb, Omigie, Sands, McDougald.....
and many more….Oh and walked by Aldrich on the way to class the other day….EAT THAT
Haha, and you wouldn't have given them to me if I hadn't given you 10 bucks.
lol can't have a CKC without KC - Nicholai Khabibulin (LN21)
South Carolina is making me look really stupid.
Or, more accurately, North Carolina State.
That better be offensive PI, though.
You bet your assh e pushed off.
I hate both of those teams, for some reason.
I dislike Spurrier greatly, and I don’t like NCState because of Juluis Hodge(s) a few years ago. Dunno why.
lol can't have a CKC without KC - Nicholai Khabibulin (LN21)
Eff you.
Julius Hodge is one of my favorite college basketball players of all time.
Again, just random, but I watched NC State basketball games ALL THE TIME, and they always were the underdog, and I loved the team, mainly Julius Hodge. Seriously. I probably ended up watching like 50 games over the years involving Julius Hodge. He was my favorite.
My. Effing. Favorite.
I love him. I swear I’m not this weird with everything in my life, though.
Actually, he’s the primary reason why I LOVE NC State. Suck it, KC.
Sometimes I just laugh at you and don't have anything to say.
lol can't have a CKC without KC - Nicholai Khabibulin (LN21)
Oh, for all of you interested (KC).
I am now just watching ESPNU on ChannelSurfing. It works fine, is free, and is a better game.
At least you know
that the Chiefs will get lots of run on SportsCenter that week.
lol can't have a CKC without KC - Nicholai Khabibulin (LN21)
Dude, Mort just tweeted
that he had mac n’ cheese for diner!!!!!
Like, OMG!!!
lol can't have a CKC without KC - Nicholai Khabibulin (LN21)
Haha, Twitter is amazing
but possibly the beginning of the end of the world.
lol can't have a CKC without KC - Nicholai Khabibulin (LN21)
UNoCo's QB transferred from Florida?
How did I miss this?
lol can't have a CKC without KC - Nicholai Khabibulin (LN21)
Yeah.
Oh, shit. I still have to do my preview thing for tomorrow. Plus ALL of my homework. And Oregon-Boise State probably won’t be done until, like, 2 out here in the Nati.
So, it might be released at some point late, or something. My apologies way early. I feel terrible. Really.
Also, I love how my random UNoCo is catching on.
Haha, I like the UNoCo.
UNC makes me pissed off when I see it.
lol can't have a CKC without KC - Nicholai Khabibulin (LN21)
Coach says he doesn't
vote in the ESPN Coach’s poll because it takes time.
“The reason I don’t do it is because it takes time. The first thing I do when I get to the office Sunday morning is study film, and try and make us better.”
LOVE that guy!!!
lol can't have a CKC without KC - Nicholai Khabibulin (LN21)
“I don’t have the time to do that, because I’m busy doing KU Football work.”
lol can't have a CKC without KC - Nicholai Khabibulin (LN21)
Of course, none of the coaches actually spend the time to vote.
Until probably the last one, cause thats when they finally have time.
So, Mangino should just let somebody else do it. Like all of the other coaches that do the coahces poll.
He said
that it really takes time to do and that the coaches he knows take the time and really study and look at who teams have played and all that.
lol can't have a CKC without KC - Nicholai Khabibulin (LN21)
Interesting.
The whole thing is stupid.
They should just get rid of the entir epoll. Or at least not have it be a factor in determining who plays for the National Championship.
Agreed.
But, Americans like numbers and stats. This is why futbol has yet to catch on… There are nearly no stats to discuss and look at. It’s all in your eyes, nothing on paper, really. If that makes sense.
lol can't have a CKC without KC - Nicholai Khabibulin (LN21)
(insert Warden's "soccer hasn't caught on because it's gay")
lol can't have a CKC without KC - Nicholai Khabibulin (LN21)
Well,
Americans don’t really want to just watch guys run up and down randomly. It’s why track is only big once every four years. We want a f’ng purpose.
He can get 4, NOT 5.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSs!!!!!
So glad you made the comment :) I’ve missed you here, buddy. I haven’t had anybody to put me in my place lately.
lol can't have a CKC without KC - Nicholai Khabibulin (LN21)
Is that a rude joke?
The link goes nowhere. Is that your way of saying no one cares? :(
lol can't have a CKC without KC - Nicholai Khabibulin (LN21)
I've only given it cursory glance-throughs.
And just because I adore Billy Beane, and he is HEAVILY involved. He even left to go watch some of the 2006 World Cup games, during the middle of bleeping baseball season, to help the project. Billy Beane is a stud.
Wow...
That’s interesting, for sure. I can’t imagine what kind of “sabermetric” stuff they could come up with for futbol, though.
lol can't have a CKC without KC - Nicholai Khabibulin (LN21)
They keep track of all touches by a player.
So they can see who consistently sets people up, who consistently improves the team’s chances to score, all of that. At least, that’s what it says in the summary. That’s all I could see.
I have a different theory on why football
hasn’t caught on…
Michelle Malkin, Sarah Palin, Anne Coulter, Michelle Bachman, Elizabeth Hasslebeck...where do all these moderately attractive and immensely silly women come from?
Let's not share it.
I’m sure it’s rude.
lol can't have a CKC without KC - Nicholai Khabibulin (LN21)
Mangino's wife is named Mary Jane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man, I love that guy.
lol can't have a CKC without KC - Nicholai Khabibulin (LN21)
Are you even watching the football game?
Or just listening to Mangino?
And if you say “man, I love that guy” one more time, I’m fairly sure that my opinion of you will change.
I'm watching tennis.
We are SOOO better than these 2.
Michelle Malkin, Sarah Palin, Anne Coulter, Michelle Bachman, Elizabeth Hasslebeck...where do all these moderately attractive and immensely silly women come from?
I've got Mangino on the radio with the TV on the game, muted.
lol can't have a CKC without KC - Nicholai Khabibulin (LN21)
has anyone seen Warden lately?
Michelle Malkin, Sarah Palin, Anne Coulter, Michelle Bachman, Elizabeth Hasslebeck...where do all these moderately attractive and immensely silly women come from?
No.
Maybe he’s busier now that school is starting back up, or something.
I hope he is back soon, though.
Well, he just posted on RR 3 years ago.
Maybe my teachers’ jokes drove him away.
Or maybe it’s your fault, KC. I blame you.
did you mean to say 3 years?
if so, that is funny.
Michelle Malkin, Sarah Palin, Anne Coulter, Michelle Bachman, Elizabeth Hasslebeck...where do all these moderately attractive and immensely silly women come from?
I was actually thinking that.............
lol can't have a CKC without KC - Nicholai Khabibulin (LN21)
Been busy, trying to get into the football stuff.
Should be around for tomorrow!
He can get 4, NOT 5.
OT Question:
Mangino just talked about Bobby Bowden when he was at WVU back in the day. That made me think of the movie “Marshall” and the scene where he gives all his film and everything to Matthew McConaghey to help him, and makes him look like a real great guy. My question is – when did he become such a douche? All the cheating and breaking rules and stuff…
lol can't have a CKC without KC - Nicholai Khabibulin (LN21)
When his sole purpose for living
became to retire with more career wins than Joe Paterno.
Seriously, that’s all he cares about anymore. That’s it. I’m hoping they officially vacate those 14 wins, just so he can give up the chase, accept 2nd place and retire.
Agreed. Hate that smug bastard.
Besides, Penn. St. is going undefeated and winning it all this year. So, JoePa will have more anyway.
lol can't have a CKC without KC - Nicholai Khabibulin (LN21)
Really?
They are returning like 8 starters.
Total. Like, offense plus defense.
No way they are freaking going undefeated.
Whatever.
Even if they go undefeated, they won’t go to the title game.
A 1-loss Texas, 1-loss Oklahoma, 1-loss Florida all get into the title game over undefeated Penn State. MAybe even 1-loss Alabama or 1-loss USC. Maybe.
Texas - PSU
Tebow pulls a Chase Daniel as a senior and Florida loses 3. OU loses to UT and OSU.
lol can't have a CKC without KC - Nicholai Khabibulin (LN21)
USC > PSU.
Who does USC lose to?
Who does Alabama lose to?
Who does Virginia Tech lose to?
All 3 of those teams have to lose, too.
USC - tOSU and Cal
’Bama – Va Tech and Ole Miss and/or LSU
Va Tech – Georgia Tech.
Undefeated PSU gets in over 1 loss VT.
lol can't have a CKC without KC - Nicholai Khabibulin (LN21)
You are drunk.
Honestly, sometimes, I just read your comment and laugh.
If all of that happens, then I guess yeah, Penn State might make the MNC. OF course, I haven’t even seen a Penn STate fan think they can get anywhere near that level, so you are alone.
If you’re right, you’ll be a genius. But you aren’t right.
How is that so crazy to think it would happen?
lol can't have a CKC without KC - Nicholai Khabibulin (LN21)
THEY ARE RETURNING EIGHT STARTERS!
And did you watch the Rose Bowl? I was there. I watched it.
They didn’t belong on the same field as USC. USC pulled off the gas at the end, and they still won by 11. It could have been a 40-point blowout if USC went balls-to-the-wall the entire game.
No way they get better than last year.
Officially switched it to the Chiefs game.
Some idiot is blasting freaking Lil’ Wayne in the background, so I have no noise at all. For anything.
So, I have no idea why Russell Wilson isn’t in the game.
And, I can’t hear anything at all on the computer. Obviously.
whoa
totally forgot the Chiefs were playing, wow what a team

I’m listening to olberman on the TV and Chiefettes on the computer…
Michelle Malkin, Sarah Palin, Anne Coulter, Michelle Bachman, Elizabeth Hasslebeck...where do all these moderately attractive and immensely silly women come from?
OK, you all fail.
This OGT basically is awful.
I mean, sure, we are ahead of BON’s general OGT, and WAY ahead of South Carolina and NC State’s blogs combined.
But I don’t care. I expect more.
What really is odd is that RCT is WAY behind in hits per day and stuff like that. But, and this is just a guesstimate, we are one of the tops when it comes to comes to comments and stuff. Just my random note of the day.
I told you...
I do all the brunt of the work around here……..
lol can't have a CKC without KC - Nicholai Khabibulin (LN21)
Also, the hits thing
is because I wasn’t home from 9 AM-3 PM. You lost 200 hits right there.
lol can't have a CKC without KC - Nicholai Khabibulin (LN21)
So
I turned on S. Carolina vs. NC St. and totally lost interest. I think I"ll be more interested in the Oregon vs. Boise game. Damn….I need to start betting on football again

I wanted to for tonight's games.
I didn’t want to go through all of the hassle online, though. I’m lazy.
I would have bet on NC State, though, so so far I guess I’m glad I didn’t.
You are right, though, this game has been pretty boring so far.
I’m excited as shit for football to be back, but come on.
I think ACC
games are just boring in general, as well

No. I'm about to.
I was just making sure you weren’t going to copy/paste it here at RCT, especially if it was premium.
That’s not cool.
I actually don't think it's premium anyway.
But I won’t do it in any event.
lol can't have a CKC without KC - Nicholai Khabibulin (LN21)
It's not.
And if it was, you couldn’t see it either.
You have to have the specific site’s premium to see it, I think.
I have a subscription, anyways.
It was a sweet story.
You can read all premiums

At the start of the 2nd half, Kent State is beating the Tyler Thigpens
2-0.
Two. to zero.
What is this, Auburn vs. Mississippi State?
So I am back for the moment...
and regardless of how good the game is or isn’t with the other USC and NCState, you’ve got to admit that crowd get’s you pretty excited for Saturday…great crowd at that game
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
South Carolina could sure use Succop right now.
They just missed a chip shot, and earlier they had a similar distance (inside 30 yards) blocked.
Ouch. Succop just hit a 45-ish yarder, too.
Geez.
North Carolina State’s offense has zero interest in doing anything.
But a combination of South Carolina screw ups and NC State’s solid D is keeping them in it.
And, that flag was huge.
They need something to at least get them into field goal range. Maybe a pass interference is enough.
That was the right call.
But jeeeez.
NC State is getting all of the breaks, and they still can’t do anything. At all.
KU-UNoCo (not an oil company) game is officially sold out
First time ever that the first game of the year has sold out two days before kickoff.

Anybody
Want to share their NCAA Dynasty results?
Lost to OU in OT, Texas, and Texas again in the Championship
Beat Tennessee in Cotton Bowl
I played one game and haven't played another yet
this happens to me every year, I buy the game and am all pumped and then can’t get into it. Then once that first weekend hits I get the fever and play it all the time for months.
by I need more Esteban on Sep 3, 2009 8:30 PM CDT up reply actions
That happens with me all the time too....
but this year just feels like its going to be great so I just had to play the season haha….Once I got to the second season I stopped after the first game…but interesting thing about the second season was that Hatch was a 98 overall and Onyegbule was a 93
niiice
I always think by the 2nd and 3rd seasons I’m going to get tired of it but then I start grooming my incoming freshman into being studs and before I know it, I am truly entranced into the dynasty
by I need more Esteban on Sep 3, 2009 8:38 PM CDT up reply actions
Played 4 seasons....
4 National Titles, one loss to Pitt
Briscoe – Heisman
Hawkinson – 3 time o-lineman of the year
Hatch – Rimington his senior year
Opurum – 2 time Doak, 1 Heisman
Dexter Linton – Thorpe
Tyrone Sellers – all time sack leader
3rd year my entire o-line made 1st team All America
Erick McGriff – WR of the year
Other All Americans:
Zlatnik
Sands
Pick
Kande
Patterson
C. Powell
McDougald
Don’t remember everything but that covers the bulk so far.
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
...yep...
first season is always tough but I kept Briscoe for his Senior season where he won the Heisman and then the Young guys really blew up.
I usually player lock on an o-lineman when I run and the o-line get’s pretty incredible in seasons 2 and 3 for the Jayhawks before having to somewhat rebuild with the loss of Hatch, Spikes and Hawkinson going early
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
You do all that on Heisman?
Daaamn, I always play my first season on All-American with the A.I turned all the way up, then punch it up to Heisman after that. I just like to get used to the new game the first go around before I start getting frustrated with Heisman cheating
by I need more Esteban on Sep 3, 2009 8:58 PM CDT up reply actions
well I played probably 5 or 6 practice games while i waited for the rosters to be completed. So that gave me some time to get used to it. Then the first season was still pretty close…a lot of close games but I lean heavy on the run so it helped me avoid those turnovers that come with getting used to things.
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
Great ending to the game.
My computer was having trouble keeping up with the internet feed and the thread, so I exited out.
Nc State just couldn’t get anything going on defense.
Here are some Final Scores for y'all:
Kent State 18 Coastal Carolina 0 — Not really surprising. Doesn’t speak well for the Golden Flashes offense that it took them that long to score (it was 2-0 at half), but not a bad performance overall.
Bowling Green 31 Troy 14 — Now, this is basically a shock. At least to me. I figured it’d be an interesting game to watch, but Troy is the favorite to win the Sun Belt, while I haven’t seen Bowling Green be mentioned at all as even a possible competitor in the MAC. So, either Bowling Green is way better than most people think (which is possible considering it is a brand new regime), Troy is way worse, or the MAC is just a lot lot lot lot better than the Sun Belt.
Villanova 27 Temple 24 — Wha? Temple is no great shakes, but on a day where Bowling Green’s performance could have done a lot for the MAC, Temple probably killed all of that by losing to a 1-AA team. Sure, the Wildcats made the playoffs last season, but still — if you are a Division 1-A team, you probably shouldn’t lose to a 1-AA team. Especially because the Owls were a sleeper pick for a lot of people to make it to the MAC Championship Game. Ouch.
That’s all, so far.
I never cease to be amazed
by the ugliness of Boise State’s field.
Agree there.
Just don’t slam Oregon’s uniforms. I like those.
But the field — hideous. It’s kind of cool, I guess, and I like the individuality. But it looks just terrible.
It's been a great marketing program.
Just wished they could have come up with a less hideous color. Oregon’s unis look kind of bland actually. I was expecting something wilder from the University of Nike.

Boise blows the field goal.
Seems to be something against scoring today, especially with that first game.
North Texas beat Ball State 20-10.
Up and down day for the MAC. Great performance from Bowling Green, but an awful performance from Temple, losing to 1-AA Villanova, and a mediocre performance from Ball State, losing 20-10 to a brutal North Texas squad.

Iowa State beat the Ben Woodsides 34-17.

Also:
Indiana 19 Eastern Kentucky 13 — The Hoosiers barely squeak by a poor 1-AA team in the Colonels. I think they’re the Colonels. I’m going off of memory from my time in Lexington, but I think I remembered correctly. Anyways, this might be the only win Indiana gets all year (they’ll probably get at least 1 or 2 more, though), so they should definitely celebrate.

Neither team is absolutely terrible, and they are evenly matched, I’d say. K-State has to be the favorite, but it is certainly both school’s best shot to pick up a Big 12 victory.

OK, now I can talk about this.
It’s how colleges work, now, I suppose. You have no idea how many letters/emails I got from the University of Evansville, for example. I started gettimg then halfway through sophomore year, and they didn’t stop. Like, I bet I just got one a couple of weeks ago.
It’s crazy.
USC is competitive. One of my really good friends has been a USC fan his entire life, and he didn’t get in. IT wasn’t like he’s a genius or anything, but he’s pretty intelligent.
Well, she just aced her PSAT,
and she does really well in math and science, so I think that makes a big difference. It’s just some very highly ranked schools have been contacting her lately, which seemed unusual. Have you ever been to USC’s campus? I was under the impression it’s in Watts, or some dire area. Seems like there’s a story every year about Petey and his football players dodging bullets at practice.

The actual campus is nice as shit.
I’ve never been there before, but everyone agrees.
Kickass campus, nice as hell, all of that stuff.
If you take 10 steps off of campus, though, it is in an awful area. So, it depends on how willing your daughter is to just stay on campus.
If you stay on campus, you should be fine. It just gets sketchy as soon as you leave campus.
Thanks for the info.
That’s pretty much what I’ve heard also. She’s more interested in the other coast anyway. I think Columbia in NY is her ideal school.

Colin Cowherd always used to talk about “Soccer Guy” being a rude, stuck-up, uppity person that thinks highly of themselves because they are more “cultured” for liking “the game of the world.” I’ve noticed alot of the people on those two sites are like that.

Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
My father and I run a tree service
though that is still based in Olathe. I’m one of the commuters that clog up 23rd street and 10 highway.

The weather this year has been nice.
July and August has been lots of cool weather, with highs in the 70’s. It’s like being in Colorado. Strange, but wonderful when you work outside.

I can imagine...
it’s been nice and cool here too. I often think about that move back to Lawrence, but I don’t want to commute and I’m not sure of any other jobs..

Johnson County
would be perfect, actually. Lots of companies based there, and only 20 or 25 minutes TOPS from Lawrence.

Really? You have?
Dang. You should just do it anyway.

lived and worked in Lenexa after college…decided it was time for a change. Moved to Denver. I do love it here but if I could make a living in Lawrence I’d probably seriously consider it. Especially with the football temam now

Lew just announced some monster
fundraising project, to expand luxury suites at Memorial, then give 40 million in eventual revenue back to the academic side. HE NEEDS ANOTHER ASSISTANT!

I grew up in Johnson County.
It is the neighborhood that is caddy-corner to the KU Edwards Campus, if any of you know where that is. There’s a golf course right there as well.
So, yeah, now you knew where I lived. Go all of you.
Overland Park Public Golf Course.
Played their with an ex of mine, actually.

Golfer eh?
We need to get Warden out and play sometime. I’m not very good, but I can drink brewski’s with the best of them.

Haha, yes, sir.
I will take you guys a buck a hole all day long.

I'd really like to see
Boise and Oregon start a nice little rivalry out there. It would be great for Boise to have a BCS conference rival that they play every year. Plus, normally (not so much tonight), it’s a good, entertaining game.
lol can't have a CKC without KC - Nicholai Khabibulin (LN21)
They already have.
They’ve played like 3 or 4 of the last 5 years.
And they pretty much hate each other.
Really?
I didn’t know they’d played that often.

Nice manners Oregon.
I think Blount is getting his ass suspended.

For serious, he really is.
But he has serious attitude problems.
He’s definitely going to be suspended.
said...
he was suspended in the preseason by the staff…makes you wonder if this one means serious time.
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
dude's gonna...
get arrested
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
Holy shit.
The Boise State player was being a total dick, but it happens all of the time in CFB.
You don’t fucking punch a guy in the face.
If that happens on the street, you are arrested every single time.
You have to admit...
that was pretty much a no wind up, flat footed left hook that landed perfectly and very solidly. He’s still a poor example of a student athlete but maybe he should look into boxing after they suspend his ass.
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
Damn, he tried to take out the fans, too.
WOW.

Former Husker Scott Frost held him back
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
Yeah.
Marcus Vick stuff, there.
I mean, sure, the Boise State player was being a total dick. But people are dicks in life. Deal with it. Either just shove him back and say something equally mean, if you’re a dick too, or just walk away and pretend nothing happened.
But you don’t punch people in the face.
And you DEFINITELY don’t go after the fans. I mean, come on.
I don't know...
that Idaho potato might think twice before he talks shit after a game next time…maybe more people should be punched int he face.
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
Probably.
But it happens all the time, I’m sure.
And, I’m sure it was something related to the pregame comments Blount had made. So, I guess it all goes back to being able to take it if you dish it out.
I don’t think LeGarrette can take it.
I agree...
I mostly just felt like saying Idaho potato and more people should be punched in the face in the same sentence
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
Haha, ouch.
It’s amazing that he’s refound himself. Again.

Yes. All I’m saying is that the Giants have THE worst lineup in the NL, and have no plate discipline to speak of. Yeah, he pitched great, but I’m taking it with a grain of salt, since I know that the Giants suck. And everyone on MCC hated the lineup the second they saw it. Lincecum did NOT deserve a loss.
Insanity is just a state of mind.
That definitely sounds like the Royals and Greinke.
Zack has been screwed out of a lot of wins this year.

You beat me to it.
We share your pain, giants.

And you know what's a shame?
The Cy Young is pretty much decided by wins.

Let's hope now Joe Posnanski's with SI
he’ll have a little more influence, and Lincecum and Zack get a few nice writeups.
by hunter s. royal on Sep 4, 2009 12:54 AM CDT up reply actions
Definitely. It’s stupid watching ESPN and hearing them discuss CC Sabbathia over Greinke for the Cy. Whaa???
Insanity is just a state of mind.
What's really stupid is our GM having a wretched
year and the damn owner giving him a 3 year extension. It’s getting ugly over at Royals Review.

Another genius trade today, though, eh?

I haven't checked the site yet today.
Go get the bad news I guess. Catch you later.

The Giants are pretty decent this year.
Now, if it was the Royals he beat, that would not be impressive. :)

Pitching: Yes.
Offense: No. Pablo Sandoval is our offense.
It’s difficult to win when the cleanup hitter has an OPS under .700(Randy Winn also pulls this off as starting RF) and is slower than molasses.
Insanity is just a state of mind.
Yeah
That’s “Boulder Head” for you. EVERY SINGLE game, we get to see Bengie Molina in the cleanup spot. I can’t wait for Buster Posey next year.

We get....
Wait… Hey, hunter… who the fuck is the Royals’ cleanup hitter these days? I don’t even know anymore.

You may be in luck;

Sorry, Dayton got on my computer for a second. Almost blew that one big time. Phew.

Oh, btw, do you know when the US qualifier is on Saturday? Trying to pick it out from all the football games.

Yup, got into it after the last WC, I was only 14 at the time, so not a terribly late start. I’ve become addicted to soccer. I actually wanted to go to this game, but too much money for a student with no job.
