TT I dont understand your post- You said that Wisc has no chance of getting in the MNC game- I totally disagree with that statement- they belong to a BCS conference, they go undefeated and their chances are better than Utah. They could win the Big10/11 and still go just like OSU has, we have seen a two loss LSU team in the MNC game and seen undefeated teams left out- so Wisc has just a good a shot as anybody and every year is different.

Texas could and should schedule a lot better OOC.
USC year in and year out schedules the toughest nonconference teams and it doesn't seem to hurt them. They have more of a problem getting ready for Stanford and Oregon State. :-)

All schools have a couple of bad fans. I didn't meet any in Columbus.
Tommy Trojan should start making his reservations now.

Thanx Zac Thanks for reminding me that BU@UConn was a great game- Bu really shoulda won- really close evenly matched contest- Do they play next year? gotta check the schedule- A 4-8 team from B-12 south hung tough with those Huskies-Awsome- The BU Bears had 3 real close ones this season UConn, TTech & Missu and they really didnt do too bad @ Neb Wow I look for BU to make a big impact this upcoming season. I realy didnt see any KSU games this year and now they have a new/old head coach coming back, so maybe they will improve, they lost a really good QB, but Ole Bill Syder knows how to win.
The SFU vs KU I didnt get to see- comparable teams last year I guess.
Once again thanks man-alot of times I post from memory alone and I stand to be corrected- TX vs WVU sounds cool with me- Hey you got any eyetaliun recepies ? off season dude- uniform threads will probably follow- no doubt

peace out Tomcat

No offense taken, TC; it's all good. And, you're absolutely right. The Big East did have a "little" trouble (as you chose to frame it) with the Big 12, having only won 3 of 5 against them. That's right; the Big East had a winning record against the Big 12.

Looking at the wins, not terribly impressive, I suppose. Louisville (5-7) won at home vs. K-St (5-7). S FL won a classic, at home, against KS, and UConn at home literally held off Baylor in another classic. The losses: WVU at CO (decided in OT), and Cincy (B.E. Champ) at OK (Big-12 Champ/NC runner-up). Now, if you look at that 2nd game, Cincy (relatively speaking) faired far better than either Tx Tech or MO, and about as well as TCU. So, arguably, the Bear-Cats aren't in bad company. I just wish they'd done better against VA Tech; they put up yardage on em, but not much on the scoreboard.

Tell ya wat, though. I honestly think in a couple of years a TX/WVU game would be fun to watch. Will it happen? Don't know, but at least we can talk about it.

Hey no offense Zac, but heck the B-E had a little trouble with B-12 opponents last year, most notably WV vs Colo and Cinn vs OU. I'd love to see a WV vs Tex game, anything is better than some of the ones I've seen in previous years, FAU, N Tex ,La Laf, N Mex St.
Unforunatly these are the kind of games that we regularly attend. Given the popularity of the program, tickets are real expensive and hard to get for the big time opponents. I cant count how many Texas vs Rice games I have seen in person-heck I cant count that high.

hrposon Oxford is a great place- ought to be a great game, hopefully UCLA can rebuild. A Texas vs Bama matchup would be awsome- two of the traditional powerhouses facing off head to head-Tuscalosa & Austin. CFB gameday crew would definetly be there and millions of fans nationwide on big screen HD's- These games need to happen-IMHO and these kinds of matchups are what the fans really want to see.

Yeah, and you got some Buckeye fans that don't represent the rest of us either, unfortunately. I'm very glad you came up to 2005 to see how a majority of Buckeye fans are.

The 'Shoe is incredibly loud. It sounds like 5 jumbo jets taking off when the crowd gets into it!

I agree. Their games are how college football should be all the time. The way things are going here in Ohio...I think I'd consider moving to Texas, but that's all non-CFB related, anyway.

Re: Wisconsin nixes prime-time games against Texas

Zac — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 12:53:41 -0000

I'll tell ya what. The last 3 OSU/TX match-ups sure reminded me a lot of when ND & TX used to square off...back when ND had a decent team, that is.

I'm sure they should. I just like ribbing Ben a little, and he's used to it by now! :-)

Actually, TB, the boyz at Camp Randal should consider it. It may not be the Longhorns, but TCU would still be a great way to start the season. It's gotta be better than that away game at Fresno.

TC, just have TX's AD call Ed Pastilong (WVU's AD). Betcha he and Bill Stewart won't pass at an opportunity to play in Austin. Just a thought.

Kinda doubt it Ron
He used to sell foosball tables-remember those things.

TT By looking at you eyes,he can tell you what ails you,like you need iron in your diet or here take some chayane pepper.He uses natural medicinces and not pharmacuticals.
Through proper diet, exercize, meditation, yoga and different herbs and roots etc etc- he will fix you up and you will feel better.The guy is not really any kind of scam artist or anything, he is really good at what he does. Its kinda like seeing a chiropracter/ spiritual healer/personel trainer etc etc.
Massaging feet is alot different than reading palms. He helps people releive stress and feel better-so its really a purty cool job.
BTW one of his clients plays for AZ Cardinals

That guy sounds just like waht I need to sell dozers and motorgraders....if he ever needs a job, send him my way...;-)

Ya Ron This guy really found his calling, He has a degree in agriculture, however I remember him taking Karate,Yoga and Scuba diving while in college. Natural born sellsmen, heck he could sell snowballs to eskimos.
He took my neice and her husband out to dinner in LA- $200 a plate.
Long way from the welders helper on the Phillips pipeline. He flies home every year at Christmas.
We used to work on his daddy's ranch and after lunch, he would meditate, my Gradfather used to say he's not meditating, he's hesitating.
I know it sounds kind of funny, but what the heck, the guy is doing what he enjoys and people pay him for his services. Heck witha little training maybe he could get me involved, I've got some great lose weight and get in shape ideas- like the post hole digging exersize, the clear brush exersize and the shovel gravel exersize- I'll bet they will lose weight garunteed or their money back.

I'll be going to Oxford and LA. UCLA beat us twice in the last home and home and we need to get even. Hopefully Ole Miss is on the way up after a long drought.
A friend of mine whose wife went to Alabama said that you haven't lived until you've been to an Alabama home game. I'd love to see it happen...

We went up to Columbus in 2005 and had a great time. We got to see the famous Horseshoe, noisiest outdoor stadium I've been to. The OSU fans treated us very well. You could feel the electricity in the air and no one knew who was going to win.
In 2006, the Buckeyes were seen vacationing all over Texas spending good cash and made it to Austin for the game. OSU won the game and the Buckeyes had a trip they'll never forget.
That doesn't happen when you play Louisiana-Lafayette.

I neglected to apologize to you. I'm sorry I didn't choose my words better with my original reply; and I should've been more clear.

Anyway, once again, I consider the matter closed.

LOL!

b/t/w: If recollection serves, the "piss'n contest" you referred to was all about the speed differential in UF v. OSU NC game--nothing about rely's, homo's, rendevous's, feel'ns, emotions, etc.; none of that soap opera stuff--just straight up CFB smack.

Carry on...

GO GATORS!!
