Bruins Will Be Counting On The Special Teams Today. Photo Credit: Telemachus.

One of those Saturdays when we have to wait all day till the kick off. In the meantime we have plenty of college football action to take in. I was planning to post this around noonish but might as go ahead since there are few games under way already. Some of the games I will be keeping track of (all times Pacific):

  • Tennessee @ #1 Florida (12:30 pm CBS): Yeah, none of us are big fans of Lane Kiffin. However, I don't like Florida and after how Volunteers treated Bruins last week this is a no brainer. Go Vols.
  • (#3) U$C* @ Washington (12:30 pm ABC): Speaking of Chetey Petey's coaching spawn, Pom Pom goes up against Sark today. Some have this one marked up as upset alert. I don't see it but if it stays close ...
  • Michigan State @ Notre Dame (12:30 pm NBC): If the Irish are in trouble early in this game, this could be a total car wreck (could be interesting to watch)
  • (#18) Utah @ Oregon (12:30 pm WWL): Will be interesting to see how Chip Kelly's Oregon handles Utah after a escaping with a win against mediocre Purdue last weekend at home
  • Texas Tech @ (#2) Texas (5:00 pm ABC): Tech is in rebuilding mode but they still have Leach's passing attack (Taylor Potts is the leading the nation in passing throwing for 430.5 yards per game). Longhorns are going to be bloodthirsty for revenge. This could be fun to watch.

What games are you guys watching? Let's keep track of it in our pre game thread.

GO BRUINS.

all of the above

and SMU at Washington St. of course, actually we’ll only get that on radio : (, i’ll also have my eye on Doyers Giants

William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.

Wow

Cal looks good. Bedsides a few mental mistakes that are keeping Minnesota in the game, they look almost as fast as Florida at some positions. But their athletes are getting to look more and more like those at $C, no class and thuggish attitudes.

Some interesting games is the early slot.

Javid Best seems to me making himself right at home in Minnesota’s new digs – 114 yards rushing and 3 TD’s in the 1st half, helping Cal to a 21-14 halftime lead.

Eastern Michigan is holding on at the half, trailing UM 17-24 at the Big House. And UNC holds a 21-14 lead at home vs. Eastern Carolina.

UNC

for all the hype around Butch Davis hasn’t been very impressive early on.

Cincinnati at Oregon St.

IMO, the game of the week in the Pac 10. Both teams are looking for respect and the winner should get some.

It's The Jahvid Best Show Up Here In Minneapolis

That guy is amazing. But goofy Gophs are one of those floaters out there that can be dangerous and they’re only down by 7 to Cal.

Also getting ready to give a few cheers to my alma mater, Iowa, a little later on this afternoon as they take on Arizona at Kinnick Stadium.

I have a much more relaxed feeling about our game tonight. I know our guys have to be focused but if we do the job on “D” we should be okay, no matter who CRN and NC decide to put behind the center tonight.

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

I wish I was as relaxed as you. I’m just praying they come out of the gate ready to hit and continue for the entire game. This could either be another statement game and a big Win or a very close game and a toss up if we don’t come out with fire and our passion bucket full. KSU will try and set the tone early and they do have speed to the outside.

$288 million for TCF Bank Stadium

A drop in building costs, but increase for building in LA and it would probably cost $350 million or so here? Add in another $50 million because it would have to be bigger for us and I haven’t even considered the cost of land. Hmmmm, I don’t see us getting our own stadium anytime soon. Damn.

What the heck

is wrong with Cal? I really want them to dominate everybody this season, especially u$c*. They were supposed to be the team to stick it to the trojies this year, but they just do not look the part today. They pretty much suck.

by sponkey21 on Sep 19, 2009 11:33 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

The came out like gangbusters . . .

. . . but conservative play calling, sitting Best in the 2nd half, and some penalties (the P.I. that just occurred was an awful call) have really slowed the momentum. It is now a dogfight with the crowd smelling upset.

I started watching in the 3rd

I saw Best’s 1st half numbers and can’t figure out why he’s spending so much time on the sidelines or not getting touches when he’s in.

Tedford is going to "coach" this game away.

Best barely touches the ball in the 2nd half.

Even with their stagnant 2nd half offense

Cal has themselves a QB in Riley. Those mechanical changes in his throwing motion have really paid off and he’s a lot better than he was a year ago.

I’m curious as to what the pollsters and BCS will do with them.

if BYU goes undefeated

they’ll have wins over Oklahoma, Fla State, TCU, and Utah. They’d have to get into the NC game, wouldn’t they?

12:30 games

I’ll be watching Udub hoping they pull off the upset against South Central. I think they have a decent chance of pulling it off. I’ll also be watching Tenn v Florida hoping the Vols pull off the upset. Then it’s home from work, to watch the Bruins. Bruins game is televised, right? At the moment, I’m just assuming it will be on FOX.

There must be some kind of weird competition going on

It’s hard to imagine how the uniforms can get uglier by large increments each week, but I have to go along with Rye on this. This is the worst I’ve ever seen.

The Geezers may remember the Orange County Rhinos. For some reason, Oregon reminds me of those old Rhino uniforms.

The Ducks should be embarrassed.

LOL.

Agree 100%. It looks like they took the helmet from one uniform, put it with the jersey of another, and added pants from another. No continuity whatsoever.

SC blows it at the end of the half.

They have the ball in field goal range on 3rd down and short with 20 seconds to go and run the ball. Problem is they had no timeouts left so when they came up short, they couldn’t get the field goal team out there.

It’s too bad he’s been playing with such bad players/coaches until this year. I know Sark is from SC, but you’ve got to be impressed with the turnaround he’s orchestrated up their so far.

I'm not sure if he'll be a great coach or not

They weren’t sharp, although it was game #1. It was an impressive game plan though. They recognized the LSU weaknesses and attacked them well. Let’s see if they can reign their players in and get them to execute from now on.

SC came up 4 yards short on 3rd down

but a sideline interference penalty on Nick Holt for bumping into the ref and going on the field gives SC 5 yards at the end of the run.

fun tebow + ucla story

Long story short, 2 years ago i was living with 3 UF undergrads and i came home one night to find Tebow studying chemistry in my living room. Pretty random but apparently he was in a class with one of them and they had a test the next day.

Anyways, there was a UCLA vs ASU basketball game on FSN, and since the tv in the living room was the only tv in the apartment, of course I put the game on in the living room, on mute to be nice.

After I’m quietly cheering on the couch for 5 minutes, Tebow asks me why the hell am i watching this game? I responded, look jackass if it isn’t for ucla, you don’t have that ring on your finger. He quickly realized his error and said, “oh yea that’s right I like ucla!” and that was that. He hung out for another hour and was way cooler than I had expected him to be.

Wow McKnight does what McKnight does best

Great moves but forgets the football…..

Too bad SC recovered the fumble.

Damn

would have liked to see UW fall on that

If SC loses.....

They’d be tied for last place in the pac-10

Go Huskies!

Just like last week

The o-line is starting to open up some huge holes. SC has the ball at the UW 11

Yep

No way Huskies win this game

NO FREAKING WAY.

Florida-Tennessee game

I’d say this makes us our 19-15 win look pretty solid.

2nd and goal for Oregon on the 9 yard line

They can go up by 2 scores here on Utah…

Now 3rd & goal from the 9

Zone scores a TD, 17-27

but 2 min left in the game.

Still think...

UW can pull this out, IF they take this drive down for a score. If it goes to overtime, or if they go three and out here, it’s over for them. They gotta do it on this drive.

'Zona Gets Late TD

But Hawks s/b able to salt away last 1:53….

Also, I see USC has just tied up UDub. How much time is left there? Hopefully they’ll swing us midwesterners out to Seattle after Iowa City action is done.

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

What's the story here

no Mays? no Barkley? Locker back?
this is a team that was winless (or was it 1 win) last year

by drebruin on Sep 19, 2009 3:42 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Locker's been healthy all year

Mays has a sprained knee and didn’t dress, while Barkley has a bruised shoulder and hasn’t played today.

but still

this is a UW game that didnt win a game in the Pac..or was it 1 win against wazzu
and a brand new coaching staff

by drebruin on Sep 19, 2009 3:45 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

This team is much, much better

They’re energetic, fast and have gotten some good coaching early on. They played LSU tough in week 1.
