College Football 2012-2013.

[CAM]

I understand the suspicion of Ruff, but he's only about 50. And I'm not familiar with the San Antonio coach, and aren't they FCS?

Hint, his school is geographically in between ECU and UTSA, although not directly on the straight line between them.

 

[D3ATHS1NBUNCH3S]

UTSA moved to the WAC this year from the FCS.

That guy from Ohio?

 

[CAM]

Correct. And interesting.

Your go, others can help..

I usually discuss a whole slew of games. This time, here are four involving the BCS Top Ten:

* Notre Dame at Oklahoma
* Mississippi State at Alabama
* Texas Tech at Kansas State
* Georgia vs. Florida

It is obvious the big one is Notre Dame at Oklahoma. Notre Dame is for real, but HOW for real are the Fighting Irish? Can they head into Norman and take down the Sooners at their house? K-State laid the lumber to Oklahoma. What can the Fighting Irish do at Oklahoma? We'll find out this weekend.

I may post more matches slated for this week in a future post or as an edit to this one.

 

[CAM]

Right now I want a K-State-Florida national championship game with a Collin Klein Heisman. Back up plan is K-State-Notre Dame game with the same Heisman winner.

 

[D3ATHS1NBUNCH3S]

Likely: Alabama vs. K-State, Collin Klein Heisman
Hope: Oregon vs. Notre Dame, Geno Heisman
Unlikely: West Virginia vs. Tulane, Geno Heisman =P

Next Question

What teams' fans famously tore down their goalposts and partied in the streets of its city after a 61-14 home loss?

 

[CAM]

If you don't understand why I hate Carolina, please allow me to explain:



I understand if it leaves you all speechless . But in all honesty, this is a prime example of what us ECU and Duke fans rightly call the "Carolina Way."

Eric Highsmith, Carolina receiver, has been busted for plagiarism. However, one must wonder why I'm sitting here in tears of laughter. What did our resident genius plagiarize? An essay on chickens by four 11 year olds . Great week to hate Carolina, great great week.

What teams' fans famously tore down their goalposts and partied in the streets of its city after a 61-14 home loss?

Michigan State 61 - Northwestern 14 (Northwestern fans is the answer ?)

If you don't understand why I hate Carolina, please allow me to explain:

Damn, talk about cheap shotting somebody. Why was there no flag for unsportsmanlike conduct ? It's obviously clear this was intentional.

Ahhhh yeah, the refs were told to look the other way, didn't see it.

 

[D3ATHS1NBUNCH3S]

Michigan State 61 - Northwestern 14 (Northwestern fans is the answer ?)

Yup. Except it was Michigan, not Michigan State.

Cam, you will LOVE this!

 

[Nicksfix]

Yup. Except it was Michigan, not Michigan State.

I was pretty sure it was Mich. State ..... I googled it this time, it was MSU.

It was fitting, perhaps, that the only philosophy major on the Northwestern football team, junior Kicker Rick Salvino, should inaugurate the Wildcats' successful bid for sole possession of "The Streak," the longest losing record in the history of major college football. Salvino's opening kickoff last Saturday in Evanston, Ill. made the rest possible: a 61-14 thrashing at the hands of Michigan State, an 0-29 record dating back to the third game of the 1979 season and a resurgence of speculation over Northwestern's future in big-time athletics.
Certainly the game wasn't pretty to watch. Michigan State scored on all seven of its possessions in the first half and led 41-0 before the Wildcats got on the board midway through the third quarter. Media reps, who had come from far and wide to witness the carnage, tried to remember details of the 0-28 strings of Kansas State and Virginia, co-owners of The Streak before Northwestern. And though it was a sparkling fall day and N.U. students—most of whom have never seen their team win—tore down the goalposts at the final gun while chanting, "We're the worst! We're the worst!" there wasn't much real levity in the air.

 

[CAM]

The refs got a one game suspension along with that sack of 🤬. I got a laugh out of the YouTube comments though. And yes, reading about Highsmith made waking up to do schoolwork from 7:30 AM to 11:30 PM worth it.

When I saw that live, all I could think was that they somehow found the basketball refs and gave them football gear. Anyone who lives here knows any semi-questionable call, and the refs wear sky blue..

 

[D3ATHS1NBUNCH3S]

I was pretty sure it was Mich. State ..... I googled it this time, it was MSU.

Oh...the website I got it off of said Michigan, but oh well, your up.

 

[Nicksfix]

This will be a toughy.

There are 4 NCAA coaches who have won 2 National titles.

(A) - Can you name these coaches ?
(B) - Can you name the Schools that were led to the National Championship ?
(C) - Can you name the years of which these teams won the National Championship ?


I'll be a lenient though. If you can just name the coaches involved, that will be acceptable.

 

[D3ATHS1NBUNCH3S]

Mack Brown (Texas), Urban Meyer (Florida), Nick Saban (Alabama and LSU), and Les Miles (LSU).

 

[Nicksfix]

Your close, very close.

 

[CAM]

Paterno only won the one, Beamer has never won..

Pete Carroll?

Another day, another chance to put the Carolina fans in their place. Really makes rolling out of bed that one bit easier .

 

[Nicksfix]

Mack Brown (Texas), Urban Meyer (Florida), Nick Saban (Alabama and LSU), and Les Miles (LSU).

2 out of 4, not bad

Paterno only won the one, Beamer has never won..

Pete Carroll?.

You got 1 of them

Here they are :

1) Nick Saban - LSU in 2003 and Alabama in 2009
2) Urban Meyer - Florida - 2006 and 2008
3) Dennis Erickson - Miami - 1989 and 1991
4) Joe Paterno - Penn State - 1982 and 1986

Next up ..... well someone else can post up a question.

 

[D3ATHS1NBUNCH3S]

Oh...I thought it was ACTIVE coaches....

Anywho.

What program has the most wins without winning a national title?

 

[CAM]

Carolina? They've been around awhile.

 

[Nicksfix]

I'm thinking it's an Ivy League school. 💡

EDIT - 2nd guess - Virginia Tech

 

[D3ATHS1NBUNCH3S]

Nope to both.

This team was independent for YEARS, but eventually shifted to a conference. They are still in one today.

 

[Nicksfix]

Uuuuum, Boise State ?

 

[Blitz24]

West Virginia I believe.

 

[D3ATHS1NBUNCH3S]

Damn. WVU is right. Thought I could slip on by =P.

You're up.

 

[Nicksfix]

You were Blitzed

 

[Blitz24]

In what year did an undefeated team NOT restricted by sanctions or any penalties both not play in a post-season bowl game nor get ranked in the top 10?

 

[D3ATHS1NBUNCH3S]

Seems like a trick question. Are you going by mid major-FBS conferences?

 

[Blitz24]

The year I am referring to is before the BCS existed.

 

[Nicksfix]

No clue, none what-so-ever on this one.

 

[Blitz24]

I screwed up the question. Should be nor, not and (as neither of the two events occurred).

Question fixed, if it makes it any clearer. The team neither was in the top 10 nor made a post-season bowl game.
