BN Gameday: Houston Pre-game Thread

Our kickoff is around 7:30 PST and broadcast on FSN (Barry Tompkins and Petros Papadakis are going to be calling the game as part of FSN's national broadcast). Our game thread is going to go up around 7:00 pm PST. So we have another Saturday when we have an entire day of college football to lead into our game.

Today might not be a "monster Saturday" like last weekend but there are lot of interesting games kicking off around 12:30 pm PST. Nebraska is visiting Washington. It is going to be interesting to see how Jake Locker performs at home against the Black Shirts.  Other games that are worth taking note of include Iowa's visit to Arizona, Florida's visit to Tennessee (the Gators have not looked impressive to date even though they are 2-0) and Texas (gulp) visiting Texas Tech.  SBN's Sean Keeley has the full weekend rundown here and the TV schedule  is available here. You can keep track of the full scoreboard here.

So if you are watching other games this am, share your quick takes, observations or pre game nervous musings, here is our open thread. Have fun.

GO BRUINS.

Last drive in the UGA v. ARK game

reminded me of UCLA v. ND in South Bend a few years ago. 30 second, 70 yard drive to win. Prevent defense prevents you from winning.

Mallet is good.

Guess Arkansas won?

Was watching it at the barbers. Georgia had just tied it up and getting the ball back when I left.

by Nestor on Sep 18, 2010 12:39 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions  

Yep. UGA got it out to midfiled and had to punt with about a minute left.

Shanked one to about the ARK 30. Mallet 3 or 4 play drive for a TD with :15 left.

Helmets coming off.

Well Orlandobruin you made a comment about the Fla. players helmet coming off. I’ve seemed to notice so far in this young season an awful lot of helmets coming off. Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a design flaw with the helmets? It seems hits on the back of the helmet is making them pop off easy.

Another reason why BruinsNation rules

An unnamed blog for an unnamed Pac-10 “school” now playing has 210 posts in its game thread as the second half starts.

That’s us by kickoff. We have over 180 now in a pregame thread watching other games.

Our team isn’t going well to start the season, and we all may not agree on how to get it fixed, but we are all still here and staying involved and keeping our community of Bruins alive and fighting. Go Bruins.

If Prince can't get it done...

I don’t care if that decision comes in this game against Houston or next week at Texas. The QB of the Texas Longhorns came in against Alabama in the National Title game and performed admirably. I think UCLA is gonna need something along those lines. Can Prince come back from the dead? Is Brehaut really THE GUY? We’re gonna find out alot about the UCLA QB corps this week and next. After witnessing, in person, the debacle of last week, optimism is, quite frankly, very difficult to come by.

by PSYCH84 on Sep 18, 2010 5:10 PM PDT reply actions  

UT's Gilbert was also high school player of the year the year before.

Asking Brehaut to possibly make his first college start in a hostile Austin environment would not be good for his confidence. KP has already played and won in a similar environment (UT last season).

In any event, let’s see how KP does against a weak UH D after a full week of healthy practice before speculating about what the coaches should do IF he does not.

BTW, I don't necessarily think UCLA should be going aerial too much tonight.

We don’t want to get inot a shootout with Keenum or even their backup. Bruins should play ball control, keeping our D off the field and using Jetski and Jones to grind down the clock. Hoping for two, one hundred yard rushers tonight.

Still no word on whether Keenum will play

He was medically cleared yesterday, but flying, bright lights, crowd noise, could change that. Still waiting on the “game time decision.”

I'd be surprised if he did not play.

We’ll see. Kinda hope he doesn’t. The Bruins need every advantage they can get in a critical game for confidence purposes.

The brilliantly named Cotton Turner

is a perfectly capable backup. We wouldn’t be gaining any discernible advantage with him on the field.

Their system is the beast we have to deal with, not the QB necessarily.

He may very well be.

But there is a reason Keenum starts and is a Heisman candidate. There would be some dropoff, but not much.

And I agree . . .

. . . Cotton Turner for a college QB in Texas is about as good as it gets.

Colt McCoy still has the best name

and I’ll take Major Applewhite as number two, but Cotton Turner is a solid number three.

A couple of pros . . .

. . . Thane Gash and Algie Crumpler had good FB names too.

Ouch

Kind of like ‘Bama playing at Duke today. Can’t imagine why in the hell Duke would want to get ’Bama on their schedule; of ALL teams, WHY them?

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

The game was scheduled a long time ago I'm sure.

Probably when Bama was on probation and Saban hadn’t bailed them out of purgatory yet.

Money, of course

They packed their stadium to 7,000 over their listed capacity today.

Are they trying to kill the mascot with pushups?

Another Big Game Tonight....

Has my alma mater, Iowa at Arizone tonight. I know a lot of my fellow Bruins will be rooting for ‘Zona and I can understand that. Would love to see the Hawkeyes find a way to pull out a win in Tucson as that’ll be a big boost when they head into the meat of the brutal Big 10 schedule. Should be a great one. Just wish it wasn’t at the same time as OUR game.

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

Wish that was earlier today.

Would have liked to watch that one closely. Won’t be seeing much it except during UCLA commercial breaks.

Shocked The Way That Game Is Going

Clemson is up 17-3 at Auburn.

Yeah, you would have thought they could have chosen being in Tucson for Iowa and Arizona vs being at Auburn.

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

Yep

BTW, I scrolled up a bit ago and saw that awesome reference to Lame when the Trojies failed on that one 2-point conversion today. Hilarious!!

I am pretty neutral on that actually

I don’t hate Notre Dame. I enjoy watching them but I don’t like them either. I am ambivalent about MSU.

I Really Can't "Hate" ND

I thought they were pretty classy when we were there back in ‘06. Like one of the UCLA Drum Majorettes told me the morning before at McDonald’s in Chicago, “They’re a classy institution, and so are we.”

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

Oh I'm not talking about hating ND

I’m just asking if anyone cares enough to watch that game compared to the two others on.

I have been checking in a bit

Interested in keeping tabs on how the Irish offense looks under BK.
