Open Thread: College Football (11/12/11)

PrintAndrew Luck leading Stanford against Oregon in prime time is okay, I guess. It's not David Ash leading the Longhorns versus Missouri, of course.
Luck gets to play at home, whereas Ash has to deal with the notoriously hostile Mizzou crowd in Columbia. At 11 a.m. CST, no less, so the Horns don't even get to sleep in. THE DECK IS STACKED AGAINST TEXAS, I TELL YOU.
This is your open thread for college football this fine November Saturday. Make the most of it.

College Gameday to UH
and I have to miss it for Renaissance Festival!
by Andres_Johnson on Nov 12, 2011 10:33 AM CST reply actions
I wouldn't worry about it.
We learned on Thursday Night’s open thread that UH is completely irrelevant to “real” college football. Going would only waste precious time. They should just hold Gameday at LSU every week!

i think it should just be lsu-alabama every week
Because everyone else is irrelevant and then it can be the game of the century every week

Still mad not everybody does back flips every time UH blows out a 2-8 team?
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
You just don't get it.
Nobody is parading the Cougars as a powerhouse because they stomped Tulane.
By the same token, that doesn’t mean we need you to partypoop a thread full of Coogs fans for being happy it happened. It’s the first time in 20 years or so that they’ve been nationally relevant. Let us enjoy it!

Enjoy while it lasts
I don’t think Keenum can come back for a 7th year.
"All our lives we're taught to get in line. The ones who conform never discover."
No you still don't get what I said Thursday.
I have no issue with UH following up their strong 2009 season. Good for them they are 11th in the BCS. They might win the C-USA and try to get a nice Bowl win.
But I’m not interested in watching them or anybody else from C-USA. My original comment
I’d watch the Cougars,
If they played teams that were more relevant. Tulane and Rice? Yawn.
If they move to the Big East like has been rumored I’d watch the whole season. Maybe.
Has been exaggerated. It was my honest answer to the original question that was blown out of proportion by you. Since it’s a Houston school it’d be nice if they won a bowl game but I’m not really excited for the team or looking forward to any of their upcoming games.
BTW I’m pretty sure they were relevant in 2009 when they upset OSU on the road and beat Texas Tech. They got all the way up to like 14th and were starting to generate hype before losing to UCF.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
i thought we lost to UTEP that year

I think UCF was the conference championship game.

No week 10 they lost 37-32 to UCF when had gotten up to 14th (I believe) in the BCS rankings.
They lost to UTEP week 4.
Lost the conference championship to East Carolina and got dismantled by Air Force in a bowl game.

A&M could fuck up a wet dream
They should get beaten by every non-bottom dweller team in the Big XII. Sucks cause I wanted to see them contend with OU for the confrence title.
that game sucked
Ash or McCoy couldnt hit the side of a fucking barn in that game, and Fozzie got hurt in the first qtr
Beer, it's not just for breakfast anymore
Yeah not a fan of the dual QB strategy.
It irks me like it does with LSU. But I guess when both guys are mediocre at best you do what you have to do.

OU now has a clear path to the title game with Stanford and Boise out.
Oklahoma State is the only team we have to beat, then we’re in.

Pretty much.
Looks like the #2 spot (barring unforeseen upsets) comes down to OSU and OU. Since OU has already gotten it’s regular season choke game out of the way perhaps they will sneak in. Although I really like OSU. That offense VS LSU’s defense would be fun.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
Disagree on the clear part
Oregon just beat the #4 team on the road, and in convincing fashion. I wouldn’t be surprised if they jumped up in rankings over OU.
