BN Gameday: Washington Pre-Game Thread

Photo Credit: Telemachus

We have about two hours to go till the kickoff of our home coming game. I can't wait to see our guys come out in those old school jersey from the Beban era. For those of you who are headed down to the Rose Bowl (or are already there tailgating away) make sure to take enough pictures to share with rest of us here on BN.

Meanwhile, there are some pretty decent games to keep track of until we get to our game thread. Top-5 Iowa is struggling against Northwestern early on. Although that's been a habit for Iowa this entire season. We will see if they finally get burned today for playing with fire especially since comeback specialist Ricky Stanzi left the game with an injury in the first half. Texas is sleep walking bit against Central Florida. Full scoreboard here.

Again if you want to play in our guessing game, don't forget to get your entries in here. It will close when we post our own game thread. Have fun.

GO BRUINS.

Iowa misses a FG

struggling w their backup QB. Still down 10-14.

most interesting game today, other than UW-UCLA

for me is Oregon @ Stanford. This wreaks of an upset. Stanford at home has a solid running and passing game. The only question is whether their D can slow down the Ducks. Part of me wants the Ducks to win out on their schedule so they can represent the Pac10 in the Rose Bowl. Other part wants them to lose since I lost complete respect for their programs after the Kevin Love and Blount/Boise St. incidences.

Meh

I am not that big into Pac-10 conference pride. Ducks are a good team but not losing sleep over them.

Usually I am the same...

But I would hate to see a non Pac10 team in the Rose Bowl for some reason. I am OK without the Big10 there, sorry Minn.Bruinfan.

That's OK

The way the Hawks are playing today, especially w/o Stanzi leads me to believe that the wondrous joy ride they’ve been having is going to come to a halt.

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

I am rooting for the Hawkeyes

Just for you MB!! But I hope I am not a jinx!

by Nestor on Nov 7, 2009 11:52 AM PST up reply actions  

Now Down 17-10

Forgive me but I can’t help rooting for my alma mater to somehow pull this off.

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

No worries

I always enjoy your Big0-10 perspective MB.

MB

what’s your take on Iowa’s backup QB? Was he a highly recruited QB for the Hawkeyes?

by Nestor on Nov 7, 2009 11:32 AM PST up reply actions  

I'm Not 100% Sure

I think he was one of the top QB’s in the state of Iowa in H.S. though. Probably a natural choice for him to go to Iowa City.

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

Kirk Ferentz

Really like his coaching style.

by Nestor on Nov 7, 2009 11:50 AM PST up reply actions  

Wow

Purdue-Michigan sounds like a great game.

by Nestor on Nov 7, 2009 11:31 AM PST reply actions  

Interesting note in WSJ this am

Michigan currently has all time highest winning percentage in college football. But, ND on their heels. If ND wins 3 out of 4 and Michigan loses 3 final games (very realistic) then ND overtakes them at seasons end.

N

How is that jaw feeling on gameday?

by 84 on Nov 7, 2009 11:42 AM PST reply actions  

Still kind of sore but doing ok

Had the surgery yesterday morning. Thankfully there hasn’t been much swelling. Have been icing it away. I have to do three more of this session. The doc only did the top right quadrant yesterday. So I will have another session next month (early December) and then in Jan and Feb. Fun times. LOL

by Nestor on Nov 7, 2009 11:50 AM PST up reply actions  

Sorry MB

That is a tough way to start Saturday. Ugh.

Hopefully the second part goes better for you (and us) as our game thread is now up.
