If you are going to take in other games before the Bruins kick off later tonight around 7:00 pm (FSN national broadcast), here is the pre game thread.
I know I will be keeping an eye on number of games that are interesting to me for various reasons through out the day. The games that stick out to me:
I am interested to see how Steve Spurrier’s Game Cocks does against the Gators.
I always tune into
BTW make sure to get your pre game guesses in. We will close the thread about half an hour before our kickoff at 7:15 pm PST.
GO BRUINS.

ND is kind of struggling only up 10-7 at half.
and now Clausen just got lit up. Sharpley was in a for a play near the goal line for ND. They had to settle for a FG, their only offensive score from first half. Unreal how ND has been struggling on O, with all the talent they have recruited last 2+ years.
Michigan up 14-7 against Northwestern and interestingly PSU only up by 3 as of right now (10-7) against Indiana.
charlie weis is a joke....
i don’t get why everyone thinks he’s an offensive genius

Honestly
I have to say I am surprised how much they have been struggling. What do you think is their big issue? I don’t get it because they seem to have a lot of talent in skill positions on offense.
yeah i honestly have no idea
Clausen gets a lot of crap, but honestly the guy can play QB. A big problem has been their top OL prospects haven’t all panned out. As we’ve found out this year, all the skill guys in the world won’t mean anything if you can’t block. Don’t know whether that’s just bad talent evaluation or just the guys not being 100% into football (a la Kia/Tevaga this year)

Speaking of Tevaga
I have liked the way CRN is handing him. If this was the previous regime he would have been kicked out as the proverbial “underbelly.” Instead of just purging kids who might not be fully committed to program, CRN is doing everything he can to give them a chance to genuinely reflect and ponder what they really want to do.
One of my Michigan buddies told me how RR rubbed lot of people wrong way right off the bat by purging people off the program left and right. The contrast with CRN is interesting. We will see how it works out for both program. Both approach could work … but the data points in next 3-4 years sure will be interesting.
Michigan is down 14-21 against Northwestern (ESPN 2). ND now up 24-7 and in control.
If I had Tom Brady at QB, I'd look like an offensive genius
Not hard to look great with great talent. Looks like he finally got exposed for the joke he is.
And btw, Terrelle Pryor is really, really, really good
I mean really good. it’s scary to think what he’ll do it the next 2-3 years. He’s just tearing apart Illinois
He is very good
But he is also getting helped by a great OL built upon a foundation Tressel has established over the years. Plus Beanie helps.
beanie definitely helps
I’m just really impressed with his composure. He’s not afraid to stay in the pocket even though he’s got that incredible speed. Also he’s much more accurate than i expected

ESPN Package
It is on 790 on DirecTV but i didn’t know where everyone is so some could have it locally. Georgia is back up 17-13 with the ball and 3:15 remaining…
navy trying to comeback
against notre dame…27-21 with 1:20 left
they were down 27-7 with 2 minutes left
GA Auburn
Still very exciting. Auburn ball down 4 with 26 seconds. Just got a PI and they are at the Georgia 24 yard line…
GA wins
Barely holds on with 1 second. Auburn had 4th and 1 and went for the end zone. No catch. GA ball.
i loved that
Riley threw a pick 6, got it called back, then threw another on the very next play…

To go back a bit
I think Tedford is a solid coach and has done a great job building that program. However, he seems to be coming up short time after time. In some ways …. the way Cal has been finishing last few years … reminds me a lot of Toledo. They just haven’t been closing.
They had that huge win against Southern Cal years ago but haven’t done much since then. They had a win over Tenn last year. But Tenn has turned out to be an over-rated program in last two years.
Should be interesting. I think having Dorrell around benefited Teford. CRN is lot more competitive when it comes to recruiting. Right now he is recruiting well despite our issues from last two years. Then there is Harbaugh doing well in putting together a program in Stanford.
Next few years in Cal should be interesting. I think they should be wise to lock up Tedford because he is a good coach and a nice fit for their program (again I don’t feel the hatred towards Cal that lot of Cal fans feel towards UCLA). But it will be interesting to see if Tedford sticks around because there is an uninformed portion of Cal fanbase that has concerns about Tedford.
Just read...
Stanford is up 7-3 against $UC.

10-3

I know Nestor follows Michigan
and, honestly, apart from checking the final scores, I don’t. But for a team with one of the proudest traditions in all of college football (Michigan), I think it is important for us to keep in mind that we are not the only team suffering out there.
I don’t root for Michigan to lose, but in a weird way, their struggles sort of makes me feel less bad about our own team’s struggles. In other words, I have no doubt that Michigan will be back near the top some day. It gives me hope that we will be back, too.
Pete Carroll hates puppies.
They have no passing game
But their D is making the Trojan offense look very average (knock on wood).
I like Harbaugh a lot.
This should be a good lesson for our guys
We beat Furd at home, and look at how Furd is not intimidated by $c.
agreed
the D won’t be the problem…the issue’s gonna be the same one’s we’ve had. No offense, hanging tough for 3 quarters, but then our D gets worn down. Hopefully we can find some “O” tonight and build on it

wow really?
i just saw the score for the first time…is it on FSN?

by bucknellbruin on Nov 15, 2008 6:38 PM PST up reply actions
that's what the UCLA bball games
have been like on that site. The moderator’s ok but some of the posters are a joke

Comments on Oregon's Unis?
All black with silber numbers outlined in yellow with silver FEATHERS on the shoulders? yuck.
Watching these other Pac-10 games
Makes me wonder what our record would have been if we had Cowan this season. I think we would be in the running for a Holiday Bowl in CRN’s first season.
We would have beaten Fresno State. Probably would have gone at least 2-2 against Arizona, Oregon, Cal and Oregon State.
i think we would've beaten BYU as well
………………….ok maybe not
sorry just couldn’t resist that one
by bucknellbruin on Nov 15, 2008 6:46 PM PST up reply actions
but in other news
Troy is destroying LSU…24-3 at the half
the big bad SEC is representing itself right now…
yep
personally i think Bama’s a bit overrated. Georgia’s really not very good and that’s what they’re hanging their hat on
by bucknellbruin on Nov 15, 2008 6:48 PM PST up reply actions
Florida has looked very good in recent weeks
I think they’ll beat Bama.
by SuperBruinMan on Nov 15, 2008 6:49 PM PST up reply actions
yeah Florida has been amazing
they just demolished SC today
by bucknellbruin on Nov 15, 2008 6:50 PM PST up reply actions
Based on our respective scores, I'd say Cal
by Give me a B... on Nov 15, 2008 6:54 PM PST up reply actions
we match up with stanford MUCH better
than with Cal
by bucknellbruin on Nov 15, 2008 6:55 PM PST up reply actions
Mainly because they couldn't pass the ball
by Give me a B... on Nov 15, 2008 6:57 PM PST up reply actions
i think because of Cal's team speed
but i don’t think Cal can stop Gerhart
by bucknellbruin on Nov 15, 2008 6:58 PM PST up reply actions
It should be close
Cal’s OL is struggling a bit and Stanford’s D is pretty solid.
On the other side Stanford’s passing game is not very good which will be going up against a Cal D with a vulnerable secondary. I think Harbaugh is a better game coach than Tedford but the game is at Cal.
i'm going with stanford
i think they can control Cal’s ground game and get to Riley
by bucknellbruin on Nov 15, 2008 6:55 PM PST up reply actions
I'm watching our pregame on Fox
CRN talked with an injured senior he had recruited. CRN is a classy guy.
sjh
