College Football - Nov 29th

[PLATO]

I am officially depressed. Did anyone see that play?

[Drake Tungsten]

Damn, Nebraska-Missouri is turning out to be one hell of a game. Come on, Huskers!

[Drake Tungsten]

God I despise Jammal Lord.

Oh well, I figured the Huskers would still lose two or three games this year. We can still win the Big 12 North. All is not lost.

[PLATO]

All is lost in Knoxville. It's getting ugly. Georgia is laying it on the Vols. Tempers are flaring and Georgia continues to score at will. They have over 40 now and before it's through I may wish I was a Texas fan.

[Drake Tungsten]

I feel your pain. The Huskers were up 24-14 going into the fourth and then gave up 27 points in the final quarter. Very painful.

That Brad Smith can play.

And for the first time since I was 4 months old, Mizzou has defeated Nebraska. My only regret was that I had to watch on television.

Ending an undefeated season. Doesn't quite make up for the kick, but is close.

Well at least John T will be happy with the Dawgs effort.

The days events definately puts UGA in the driver's seat for the SEC East. The West will probably come down to Auburn/LSU. I just don't see Arkansas in the mix at the end.

Of course Georgia still has both Auburn and Florida left while Tennessee has the hard part of their SEC schedule behind them. If UGA loses both, the UT has the tie breaker with Florida (How's that for wishful thinking!!)

Yes he can.

Thanks Drake. At least your guys put on a good show for 3 quarters. Tennessee is really looking pitiful now. 2 weeks in a row that they are getting it handed to them.

OSU and Nebraska loses. Great day!

I agree on the Ohio State part. Now the overrated Big Ten is pretty much shut out of the national title hunt.

Interesting results today on Nebraska and OSU. Not too many unbeatens left for this time of year, with FSU, LSU, Arkansas, and Minnesota going down. Pretty amazing that 6 unbeatens bit the dust. I guess that leaves 3 credible unbeatens left.

This was the first day in month that it wasn't painful to watch ND. ND just kept running the counter after they saw that Pitt was shooting the gaps. Relentless. The last ND drive to finish out the game was something like 10 minutes. With Julius Jones running 261 yards, he was exhausted by the middle of the third quarter.

Sounds like Colorado's ass whipping of Nebraska a couple years back. Never seen so many counters in a game before (or that much yardage racked up by said counters).

Yes, yes I am. Laura and I listened to it on our drive home from S. Georgia and it was awesome.

Oh, btw I predict that Lee Corso will finally get his wish and die this year*. Please, please let it be so.

Same here on all points.

Not only wishful thinking, but bizarre as well: UT wins the SEC East by beating the team they never beat while losing to the team they always lose to (0-for-the-millennium, and yes, I do remember the Lost Years of 91-99, the Jan Kemp years before salvation came in the form of Coach Richt.)

And I'm glad FL beat LSU for a couple of reasons:

1. Payback. Sorry dawgdamned LSU bastards.
2. Shows UGA that FL isn't a pansy just because UGA beat TN who beat FL.

I've said this before and I'll say it again: I have never, never been impressed with Casey Clausen as a quarterback.

... JohnT checks sports ticker, notices something he forgot about checking on the latter part of the long drive home (ETA: 2:30am)....

OH THANK HEAVENS OF MERCY, OHIO FREAKIN' STATE FINALLY LOST! Now the pollsters can bump them down to #18 where they actually belong.

...anyway...

UGA plays Vandy next week, and I honestly think that it is irrelevant if GA has a case of the big-game win blues, there is no way they're going to lose to a team that lost to Navy 37-27.

Another nice thing about today is that the three teams ahead of Georgia all lost. WE'RE BACK IN THE TOP FIVE, BABY!!!!! WOOF! WOOF! WOOF!

*Back in 1998 Lee actually said that he will die before Georgia beats both TN and FL in the same year. The stupid SOB has until November 1st to set his affairs in order, but I bet he'll just continue working unaware of his vow to God and Man.

[Imran Siddiqui]

I actually like Lee Corso... he's my favorite college football guy *runs*

Now all we need is OU to have its annual loss to Oklahoma State and not to have a tie in the Miami / VTech game and we can have BCS pandemonium .
