[Mandibleclaw]

I think LSU is vulnerable, their offense is leaderless.

[birddog]

you know bama fans are desperate when you see a julio jones sign in the crowd.

[SelmaBamaFan]

"I could start in the Big 10"

[StormySooner-IN]

"Facebook me....Barret Caldwell"....done.

"Hi Kelly, BOOMER SOONER" :)

[illinisooner]

Gameday signs are fantastic.

[StormySooner-IN]

The new rule regarding no celebrating is being disscussed.

I have to agree of course, they are taking away the fun. I didn't even know about this rule until now.

[Mandibleclaw]

Could someone start a LSU/App St. thread?

[StormySooner-IN]

Could someone start a LSU/App St. thread?
this is the thread.
---------

App State drives to LSU 35.....fails to convert a 4th and 4.

[StormySooner-IN]

not sure what happened....i changed channel.

but lsu 7-0. 10:30 q1

[bri]

Tigers have 4th & short inside the App State 5 to start the 2nd, leading 14-0.

No upset this year, sadly.

[Mandibleclaw]

Technically no thread really needed now, I was hoping for a glorious upset but it does not appear to be. 17-0

[bri]

I guess it doesn't help that LSU is actually good. Oh well.

[Mandibleclaw]

Have you noticed that players with dreads can't seem to keep their helmets on?

[JLEW1818]

See ya Later Appalachian State.

[bri]

Have you noticed that players with dreads can't seem to keep their helmets on?

I think the beanie he uses to keep the dreads in place is too slick. He needs to switch to a hairnet; it'll grip the inside of the helmet better. :D

[Mandibleclaw]

31-0 now, I hope Less keeps pouring it on in the second half and let's see if the ESPN asshats call him out for it.

[bringit]

Florida NOT looking as good as advertised

[bringit]

Hawaii just blew a TD. Wide open receiver on the goal line, intercepted by Gators.

[JLEW1818]

What ya'll think about the over/under tonight on the Missouri vs. Illinois game???

59.5

[JLEW1818]

Yall just see the Tebow run?

[Curly Bill]

What ya'll think about the over/under tonight on the Missouri vs. Illinois game???

59.5

Flip a coin.

...but if I had to pick I'd take the over.

[JLEW1818]

Ya I know Missouri will score their points. But if they shut down Juice that could be bad. Do you like Missouri by 9 better?

Tough call...

...but yes.

[illinisooner]

There's always an upset in week 1...what could it be this year? I suppose Illinois over Mizzou or Bama over Clemson counts, but it's usually an unranked team beating a ranked team.

so what you think bout the over/under

[StormySooner-IN]

VT 14-7 with 13:00 to go in Q3
--------------------
Ive gotta go to work in less then an hour and will be back half hour into the game. Wasnt exactly the great labor day weekend I expected. My family at cookouts while I work all weekend with a terrible cold.

[bri]

ASU/LSU has settled into being boring. This sucks. Either run up the score or get upset! :D

[StormySooner-IN]

ECU touchdown.....PAT blocked.....VT runs back for 2.

VT 16-13 9:20.


VT has been great on special teams today.....as ECU has been pretty bad.

[StormySooner-IN]

VT field goal attempt hits right upright...no good.
score same

[StormySooner-IN]

Apparently Bene Wells of tO$U got carried into the locker room due to an injury...

[Mandibleclaw]

LOL, special teams bites v-tech in the arse..........ECU ahead 27-22 with 1:52 left

[Sooner98]

Uh-oh, upset alert:

ECU 27, Va Tech 22, 1:52 to go

ECU blocked a punt and returned it for a TD - beating VT at their own game.

[Jeopardude]

Looks like East Carolina does it. Sweet!

[Mandibleclaw]

Michigan sucked with Carr.......now it sucks with Rodriguez, can we collectively say now that Michigan just sucks. Utah winning 22-10 13:22 3rd

[r5TPsooner]

Uh-oh, upset alert:

ECU 27, Va Tech 22, 1:52 to go

ECU blocked a punt and returned it for a TD - beating VT at their own game.

I picked ECU in my Yahoo Pick em pool, kool.

[JLEW1818]

I hate usc but they just won me some money.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

virgina looked terrible. i was hoping that they would give suc a better game.

instead it was a blowout

[ArkanSooner]

Just before halftime, and it's Western Illinois 10, Arkansas 7
