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.
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!

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.

That should be a fun game.

Trust Me, It'll Be A NUTHOUSE In Iowa City Tonight!

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.

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.

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.

Gophers Pouring It On Here In Minneapolis

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.

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.

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.)

The ESPN Gameplan Is What I Wish I Had...
Los Angeles Rams and the UCLA Bruins!!!!!
by Minnesota Bruinfan on Oct 10, 2009 11:48 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).

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.

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.

Absolutely.
Pulling for the Cyclones.

Crazy
Crompton is looking great so far. Auburn coming back.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.
