BN Gameday: Oregon Pregame Thread

A number of interesting games to take note of before we get set for our kickoff (and game thread) against the Ducks. Here is the WWL scoreboard which has the updates on games around the country including Auburn-Arkansas, Oklahoma State- Texas A&M, and Kentucky-USC.

Star-divide

The Hogs are off to a fast start against number 17 and undefeated Auburn. They are blitzing the Tigers 20-3. Oklahoma State without their star wide receiver (who was penalized earlier this week by an impotent/pathetic NCAA for committing a violation not as serious as any of the allegations concerning U$C*) is up against the Aggies by a score of 7-0.  Another game of interest (at least for me) on ESPN2 the wackie Gophers (who are always entertaining to watch) are leading the Boilermakers by a score of 14-13. Interestingly Purdue took the Ducks to wire in Eugene.

Also, the early score between 4-0 and ranked (number 16) Kansas and Iowa State (3-2) is interesting. It's tied up 6-6 out in Lawrence. Why am I keeping track of this score? Well Iowa State barely lost to ... Kansas State the weekend before in Kansas City. Just interesting to take note of. That's all.

What games are you watching. Fire up your musings, observations, here in our pre-game thread.

GO BRUINS.

Afternoon Fellow Bruins

Have been watching the game between the goofy Gophs and Purdont over at TCF Bank Stadium. Ooooohhh……it’s CCCCCOOOOOLLLLDDDD here in the upper Midwest today. Even had a little snow last night.

Nestor, I’d love to see a UCLA – Minnesota series. But if it can get done, I hope we’re smart enough to schedule the game(s) up here for like early September when it’s still summer up here. God, I hate the weather up here sometimes.

Los Angeles Rams and the UCLA Bruins!!!!!

LOL

I don’t mind the cold. It just means we get to drink more on game day to keep ourselves warm!

Yep - There Ya Go!!!!

Los Angeles Rams and the UCLA Bruins!!!!!

27-3 Arkansas

so much for Gene Chizik defying expectations?

Mallett

He is really good. Like watching him.

Other Games

Minnesota over Purdue 14-10 at the break. Texas A&M over Oklahoma St. 8-7 in the 2nd quarter, and Michigan St. leads Illinois 17-0 down in Champaign at the break as well.

Like you, Nestor, I’m surprised that “Moo U” is leading Kansas in Lawrence but it looks as if the Jayhawks are primed to either tie it up or take the lead again here shortly….

Also, big game in Iowa City tonight as the Hawks host Michigan. Will be interesting to see how Forcier handles the Hawkeye “D”, the cold, and the loud Kinnick Stadium environment.

Iowa-Michigan

That should be a fun game.

by Nestor on Oct 10, 2009 10:44 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Michigan

is without leading rusher Carlos Brown (but last year’s leader Brandon Minor is an oft-injured force of nature and will get the start), the secondary is a mess (hopefully a non-factor due to weather and Iowa’s crappy quarterback), and Tate is Tate.

Close game, M loses. But wouldn’t be surprised if the Force-ier pulls out another one.

by mdjohns4 on Oct 10, 2009 11:32 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Oh and

starting center David Molk has been out with a broken foot for the last 2 or 3 weeks. He was key in the running game and Rich Rod has called him (hyperbolically) the offense’s best player. Mostly with regard to how crucial he is to calling out blocks and making them with crushing authority.

TD Minnesota

They’re on top of Purdue now 21-13. Also, goofy Gophs recover fumble on ensuing kickoff and could be primed to score again.

Also, I see Texas A&M leads Oklahoma St. down in College Station 15-7.

Los Angeles Rams and the UCLA Bruins!!!!!

by Minnesota Bruinfan on Oct 10, 2009 11:00 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

They Do

28-13 Minnesota.

I had a feeling

the hogs would give Auburn a game, but figured Chizik’s offense would do better than this. Tenn beating Georgia at half. could be interesting shakeup in sec after today.

by Bruins095 on Oct 10, 2009 11:13 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Wow

Wasn’t paying attention to Tennessee-Georgia. How did I miss that?

Gophers Pouring It On Here In Minneapolis

Minnesota gets another TD to go up on Purdue now 35-13.

Is Rahim

cleared to play and ready to go today? assuming he is.

by Bruins095 on Oct 10, 2009 11:23 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Yeah

I believe he is good to go.

Crompton looks good . . .

. . . UT up at home over UGA. 24-19.

I was wondering

how the east coast bruins watch the games out west. Must be hard sometimes being so far away from the action and not being able to attend the games.

by Bruins095 on Oct 10, 2009 11:41 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Tough Here In The Midwest, Too

Especially for the ABC Regional games. Looks like I’m stuck with Wisconny and Ohio St. so I’ll be relying on you guys and computer updates.

Los Angeles Rams and the UCLA Bruins!!!!!

It is. But Dish Network helps . . .

. . . I haven’t missed a a game on TV in years (except the Oregon game last season because I was at a funeral in West VA). I can generally either see the games in the Fox sports package or Gameplan. East coast Bruins can still make great road games (Alabama, Tennessee in the past, Texas next season, etc.)

by orlandobruin on Oct 10, 2009 11:44 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

You can order it week by week

I order it only on days when UCLA is on ABC regional.

by Nestor on Oct 10, 2009 11:55 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

It's not that difficult

We have Fox Sports Package … and order ESPN Game Plan as necessary. I hardly ever miss a UCLA football/basketball game.

Tennessee is beating up Georgia

Crompton looks like a QB. Holy COW!!!

37-19 Vols.

by Nestor on Oct 10, 2009 11:49 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

I know!

I think UGA’s D is bad. Credit Crompton though, he looks good on play action plays and roll outs. 4 TDs (and one pick 6 returned for the UGA TD).

by orlandobruin on Oct 10, 2009 11:51 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

38-19 w extra point

Crompton has thrown 4 TDs against Georgia’s (pathetic) defense.

by Nestor on Oct 10, 2009 11:51 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

For some reason, UT's performance against UGA . . .

. . . is making me feel better about our chances today at the Rose Bowl.

by orlandobruin on Oct 10, 2009 11:52 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah the score is interesting to say the least

I also don’t think KSU is as bad as people made them out to be. ISU/KU game score is very interesting as well.

by Nestor on Oct 10, 2009 11:54 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Absolutely.

Pulling for the Cyclones.

by orlandobruin on Oct 10, 2009 11:55 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Crazy

Crompton is looking great so far. Auburn coming back.

by Bruins095 on Oct 10, 2009 11:51 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

What The Hell???

“Moo U” just went back on top of Kansas again?

Los Angeles Rams and the UCLA Bruins!!!!!

by Minnesota Bruinfan on Oct 10, 2009 11:54 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Yep

Remember KSU beat these guys last week.

The Big 12

is garbage this year. I hate this obligatory “we must rank undefeated teams” even though they haven’t played ANYONE. Kansas is number 16, 4-0, with wins over Northern Colorado, UTEP, Duke, and Southern Miss

by mdjohns4 on Oct 10, 2009 11:55 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Crompton

300 yards and 4 TDs. All I ever hear is how great the sec is. Georgia and Cox are stinking it up today.

by Bruins095 on Oct 10, 2009 11:58 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

There is a lot of talent

in that league. With almost all of the SEC teams moving to the spread, I think it’s interesting to see how the defenses are struggling to catch up.

by mdjohns4 on Oct 10, 2009 11:59 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

It's surprising

Because there are not shortages of athletes in Richt’s program.

by Nestor on Oct 10, 2009 12:00 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Maybe it is just me, but after going to the UT / UCLA game . . .

The Neyland crowd sounds louder on TV too! They just a forced a 3 and out against UGA in the same area of the field where the Bruins struggled in the shadow of the goal line in the 4th Q. It was then than the crowd was the loudest I’ve ever heard at any sporting event.

Touchdown KU

Jayhawks go back on top again.

Los Angeles Rams and the UCLA Bruins!!!!!

Our game thread is now up ...
