BOOMER

pitt gettin knoxcked off at home was an upset too.

tonight vanderbilt beat south carolina. SC was ranked 24th -------- this was the highest ranked team Vandy has defeated since 1937............wow! not sure how much an upset it was - i thought the week before NC State made SC look good because they were so bad. but it is still a great win for the Vandy program.

i dont agree with cincy not having a chance against OU. not at all. in fact the opposite - i think they have a much better chance than anyone is givin them credit for - including vegas. this was a 10 win team from last year - returning most starters on both sides of the ball. i bet you cincy believes they have a chance - and that is all that matters. this team is not the C-USA school of 5-10 years ago ----- they are a big east team now which means they have more chips to bargain with in recruiting and facilities. last year they saw it pay off somewhat. dont get me wrong - i still think the odds are 75-25% OU wins. but - its why games are played. who knows about momentum and mistakes? i think cincy has to play their best game of the young century to give themselves a solid chance. if they dont force ou to turn the ball over - or go 3 and outs often ------- OU wins by 20-24 pts. i say...........but if the cincy team executes like they are CAPABLE of doing ------ i think OU wins by 10 maybe less.

but there is reason games aren't played on paper lol. i'm not downing anything. i'm hoping for an impressive performance from OU and a good 3 TD win or something like that -------- what i am doing - is giving more credit to cincy than anyone else dare will. this team has shades of TCU all over it ------- but then again - this OU is better than a few years ago - to what extent - we will find out saturday when ou faces its first real opponent of the season. go sooners.

i'm even goin for osu except for when ou plays em. i hope they do well this year. they been teetering right on that threshold of making it to a 9-10 win team. i think thet are capable this year of making a lot of noise. for the upper echelon of the big 12 south. of course i hope ou smashes them. but i hope losing to ou is only their 2 or 3rd loss of the year. like i say - i hope they do well. state pride I say! well - lol to an extent lol. go tulsa too. they look like they will compete for C-USA championship i mean have a good shot. how good was it for them get out of the miserable wac and into the c-usa. i say miserable wac not because the wac aint good ------- but can you imagine the travel cost along tulsa has EVERY year playing in the WAC with west coast teams ---- i bet their travel bills have been cut in half and them some! lol. mossman you are associated with Athletic department's ---- would you agree with that?

and how cool is it that the big 12 finally has a 2nd division again? lol. they are all competitive now. kansas, mizzou are awesome teams - colorado is improving to a far extent. iowa state still kind of sucks but they could challenge a couple non suspecting conference teams. Nebraska - lol work in progress. but they should believe in Pelini - a proven good coach. Kansas State - aint heard much about them - but i say they are probably like Iowa St. but hey - we have a competitive north again FINALLY. its a good thing for the conference. maybe we could PLAY ourselves into 2 BCS bids ----- unlike the sorry ass big 10 that gets a 2nd bid if one of their teams goes to the BCS title game. the rose bowl "situation" needs to be done away with. let every conference have the fair shot. yeah the main conferences should get automatic bids ------ but i;m tired of seeing some piddly-ass 23rd racked team go to the rose bowl. over more deserving teams ranked in the top 10. a good deal of room should be made for the smaller conferences. not too much - we dont need bcs reps from all the sun belt, MAC, WAC, and C-USA EVERY YEAR ------- i like the look this year of East Carolina, BYU, and especially Utah. but i think the mountain west is among the top 5 conferences in football this year - it will be hard for any team to emerge from it undefeated. with tcu, byu. utah, colorado st., - there are some good teams in that conference, esp. the first 3 i mentioned. it will be FUN FUN FUN to watch.

damn how i love football season.

Well if its a win or lose bet, I dunno about that. I think OU is gonna be damn hard to beat this year and I hope OSU lives up to their potential. I want so see both play a Big 12 game first though. Then we can work something out.

GO COWBOYS!!!
