Well...Cal came out here to Colorado Springs today and kicked Air Force all over the field...last I heard they were ahead 56-14 ::)

Right now I'm watching my Buffaloes playing Colorado State...it's in Boulder at Folsom Field and marks the first time this game has been played on either campus since 1997....they had been playing at the old Mile High Stadium and Invesco. Local boy, Palmer High School graduate Bobby Purify scored to put CU in the early 7-0 lead :)

Now it's 14-7 Buffaloes at the half :)

Thursday night, the University of Utah Utes beat Texas A&M 41-21. 

Colorado and Colorado State are tied at 17.  :o
Ball State gave Boston College all it could handle, but the offense still couldn't get in the end zone (the defense registered a safety) and lost 19-11 in Muncie Thursday night. :( 
And Notre Dame is getting trounced at BYU 13-0 before the half. :-\\
Indiana had a better day, whipping Central Michigan in Bloomington 41-10. :)
And Purdue plays Syracuse (yes, in football) tomorrow afternoon.

Upset of the day: Rutgers knocks off Michigan State 19-14.

Colorado WINS! What a goal line stand! 27-24....thanks to JJ Billingsley

Congratulations to your Buffs, RnRF.  :)
The Irish are playing in Mormon country, so I expected them to struggle. Just not this much. I hope ND pulls it out. 8)

Thanks, Indy Gent ;)

Thank God. ;)
Well, the Irish came back, but it wasn't enough as BYU pulls out the 20-17 victory. Better luck next year week, Irish.

Let the smack-talking begin!!! ;)

We have Southern Miss this Saturday. The Left Coast Offense looked pretty good and they executed well on both offense and defense.  Special teams flat out sucked.  Should be interesting to see how the 'Skers do this weekend.

Also, I wouldn't exactly consider this to be a "cream-puff" schedule. Southern Miss this weekend and Pittsburgh next weekend won't exactly be "gimme's." We also have to play AT K-State and OU, Missouri has become a lot better, and it's too soon to tell how good the Buffs are going to be.

Just do me a favor and beat those @$?%ing Longhorns for me, willya???

We shall try, my friend ;) As for my problem with the Nebraska schedule....from my brother to all the people at his dentists office to even my favorite neice.....getting you guys to admit the non-conference schedule has been weak for a Long time is like trying to get a liberal to admit that Clinton lied to America! The Buffaloes schedule has ranked in the top 10 for schedule stregnth for years while Nebraska has had it quite easy :-\\  I wish you good luck though...except when you play CU ;)

How about those Troy State Trojans?!! They upset 19th ranked Missouri in Alabama 24-14.
Speaking of creampuffs, Creampuff U. itself, Kansas State struggled to beat "mighty" Western Kentucky last week. Next they play a tough Fresno State team, then it's back to Division 1AA with Louisiana-Lafayette.

I have compared our schedules and they are pretty much equal in strength, that is, unless you consider North Texas to be a powerhouse in Division I football.  ;D ;D ;D

Well the day started out great (For Me) as Nebraska lost at home to Southern Miss...sorry, AL-B, you guys will be back though ;).....and my Colorado Buffaloes made me very nervous before beating Washington State to go 2-0 for the first time in quite a while!

I know you don't love Air Force as much as your other two teams, RnRf. But I just thought you'd like to know.

Better luck for the Buffs and Rams. ;)

I'm still wondering what happened to IU after the Oregon win? And what has happened to the Ducks? I saw the tail-lickin' Arizona State gave at Eugene. Maybe the magic is gone.

Not to spoil your mood but God had nothing to do with it....on the other hand, I think Satan had something to do with My Buffaloes losing today ::)

I'm pretty sure you're just joking around, but in case you're serious it was an expression.  I don't think God cares if Tennessee won or not.

I was joking..but it does piss me off to see some of these guys point to the sky and give thanks for a TD, basket, home run, goal, ect. ::)

Well...I'm Happy AND Sad for you, Indy. Samer for for though, Though Nebraska was slaughtered 70-10  by Texas Tech yesterday...Tech broke Colorado's record for most points against them...Colorado had knocked of Little-Red back in 2001, 62-36 :D

I'm happy that the Huskers got massacred Saturday, too. I got wish IU and Nebraska could have scheduled against each other in Bloomington so that the Hoosiers could do the same to Little Red. ;D

Ouch.    :(

Ouch.    :(
You're BACK! :)

Sorry, Al-B. I didn't know when you'd be back.
I guess you'll be happier to know that Colorado has lost 2 straight. (Sorry Mark, diplomacy)
But I really hate the Sonner or Laters of Oklahoma. Only because I want Purdue to win the National title and they can't with five teams ahead of them. They'll have a tough one at home against the Wisconsin Badgers and another Heisman candidate, Anthony Davis. Let's win, Boilers!!! :D

No Problem, Indy...as long as we beat the Huskers (Sorry, AL-B)....also...Anthony DAVIS...like...the SAME name as that awesome USC tailback from the 70's who singlehandedly brought The Trojans back from a 24-0 halftime deficit to a 58-24 win...please correct that score as I may be wrong! AND it's nothing personal Indy ;)

You're BACK! :)
Not back permanently yet, I'm just visiting back here in Lincoln and am on my old computer, and I thought I'd just drop in. Hopefully I should get a new computer down in KC this week and be back on a regular basis. I wish I could be at this weekend's game here in Lincoln, I'd make a huge banner that says "WE WANT FRANK (Solich) BACK!!!" just to tick off Steve Pederson (NU's new AD, who fired Solich last year despite a 10-3 record). I am also keeping my avatar, you gotta support your team through thick and thin.  :)

Well...it's nice to see you again and I hope you are back soon! I also agree with you about Solich...I liked him...and respect your team loyalty....you are a TRUE fan ;)

I respectfully disagree about Solich, but Bill Callahan is ten times worse. At least Solich was an assistant with the great Tom Osborn.

Colorado beat Iowa State today :)

Congratulations, Mark. :)
At least somebody's team won today. Purdue had a chance to put away Wisconsin early, and Kyle Orton fumbles to the D for a go ahead touchdown and gives the Badgers a 20-17 victory at West Lafayette.  That would certainly end both Purdue's chances for a National title and Orton's Heisman hopes at least.>:(

In better news, Notre Dame pounded Navy 27-9 on the road. ;D

Ball State loses big again to Bowling Green 51-13. :(

And Indiana thankfully was idle. ::)

Upset of the day: Texas A&M is pounding 16th ranked Olkahoma State 36-6 at Stillwater.

Thanks! Oh now....don't be so HASTY Indy! Remember when Colorado crushed Nebraska 62-36 BUT little-red STILL got to play for the Title AND Crouch won the Heisman :D

You're right, Mark. But the Little Red had won 2 National titles prior to Crouch's Heisman. Purdue isn't that revered by the writers that much (they still haven't beaten a Top Ten Team since Tiller has been coach), and Jason White, Matt Leinart, and Cedric Benson all had better games and their teams won. I hope you are correct, but history is against Purdue.

Or had a cream-puff of a schedule...OR had thier butts kissed by the voters :P

You can say that for many other college teams too. Minnesota, K-State, and Nebraska are just 3 of the many teams that like to pad their schedules with Division I-AA and weaker conference teams. And last year was overwhelmingly the worst for BCS committee, which took Oklahoma and LSU for its National championship game instead of far better USC. I don't think they'll make that mistake again. And trust me , Mark, Nebraska is already eliminated from another National title. ;)

Okay...I can rejoice a little before AL-B comes back :D :-X

I hope by then Purdue can recover to whip Michigan next week. ;)

Sorry to say but I kinda Like Michigan....I always root for them against Ohio State but I'll root for Purdue also. The ONLY team I like from there are the Tigers :)

Well, I guess I can't fault you for liking Michigan. But Purdue hasn't beaten them since I don't know when. And I think we are due for a home win. But they can't make the same mistakes they did against Wisconsin. Especially if Kyle Orton wants to keeps his already slim Heisman hopes flickering again. Right now, I think Matt Leinart has it rapped up, although Oklahoma's Adrian Peterson is making his case for being the first underclassman to win.

Well I've always like USC better than UCLA...and read a recent interview with Leinart, he is a classy guy :)

And Reggie Bush (Leinart's teammate) is also getting a lot of Heisman buzz.

Well I've always like USC better than UCLA...and read a recent interview with Leinart, he is a classy guy :)

Well, a really sucky day for Indiana schools.

Purdue loses another heartbreaker at home as Michigan gets a field goal and game clinching fumble as they beat the Boliers 16-14. :\'(

Notre Dame had the lead thoughout the day at home against Boston College until the BC quarterback threw a touchdown to Tony Gonzales (not the KC tight end) to beat the Irish for the 4th straight time 24-23. :(

Don't even need to elaborate on the Indiana-Ohio State game. We got skunked 30-7. :-Ball State score if they lose to Akron, which looks like they will. :-\\

Upset of the day: Sylvester Croom's Mississippi State Bulldogs shock #20 Florida 38-31 on a last minute TD. They've won 3 straight over the Gators at home.

Score of the Day: Iowa 6-Penn St. 4. David Ortiz hits a two run homer. ;D

And Oklahoma's Jason White is right back to the front for his 2nd Heisman Trophy as he puts for 385 yards on Kansas in a 41-10 rout.

Congratulations, Mark on CSU winning yesterday.  :)
Condolences for Air Force and Colorado losing today. :(

Thanks Indy....CU is having a bad year as is Air Force. I'm sorry about your losses as well  :-\\

Well today Texas plays At Boulder against Mu Buffaloes....I don't have high hopes.. :-\\

Nebraska beat Missouri today 24-3. :) Looks like it might come down to NU vs. CU for the Big 12 North. They're playing in Lincoln on the day before my birthday...I'll have to try and get back up there and go to that game. If Nebraska wins that'd be one heck of a birthday present!!!

Well, looks like Purdue will be struggling to even make a Bowl game this year after Northwestern defeated our Boilers at Evanston 13-10. Kyle Orton had his worse game this season and was pulled for Brandon Kirsch.  :(

In better news, Indiana upsets overrated Minnesota 31-20 in Bloomington. :)

And Ball State is giving Northern Illinois all it can handle in Muncie, although the Huskies are pulling away 28-17.  :-\\

I don't think CU will even be mathmatically in it by then, AL-B! We stunk it up BAD against Texas yesterday :P

At least CU is in a better position than Purdue is, with the Big Ten being a one division conference and both Wisconsin and Michigan undefeated in conference play and not having to play each other.

Texas A&M almost knocked off the Sooners....42-35 :-\\

Yeah, I wanted A & M to defeat those Sooners and deprive them of another Orange festival. But in better news, Colorado knocked off Kansas 30-21 and Iowa State defeated Brenaska 34-27. ;D
But same old, same old for Purdue and IU. The Boilers lose another heartbreaker to Iowa 23-21 at Iowa City, and the Hoosiers lose to last place Illinois 26-22 in Champaign. :(
