College Football

[janicelee]

I don't know if we have any College Football fans, but I thought I'd start a thread about it anyway.

Well tonight is the night. USC vs. Ohio State. I'm not real optimistic about Ohio State's chances tonight, but I have lived much of my life, in Ohio so go Bucks, even though, I'm not real confident.

Another team I'm fond of Notre Dame, had a heck of a day today against a Michigan team I still don't know what to think of yet.

janicelee! I'm a Buckeye too...graduated from Ohio State. Do you still live in Ohio? If so, whereabouts? I'm in central Ohio.

The USC game was painful to watch.

Here in the Valley, it's either FRESNO STATE, or one of those two Bay Area NFL teams that I am not a fan of, and never will be. I'll stick with the BULLDOGS!

Congrats, my father was a big Penn State fan so I do have a softspot in my heart for them, besides, how can anyone not root for JoePa?

[Fiatjustitia]

Thanks Toby and Janicelee!:howdy:

It's great to find another person who knows of the Nits and I'll bet your Dad is thrilled from heaven that they are off to a great season this year!:happy0158:

My affiliation is not as an alum, but as a former employee who worked for them a number of years.:smile:

Just found the new "top 25" rankings and PSU is now 6th, USC is now 9th, and Toby's Fresno State has moved up to 22nd.:zm10:

Hi Again!

I just "met" Chrissy and welcomed her aboard too. We now have four who post - you, me, OhNo and Chrissy. No telling how many pinstripers we have here who only read.:shrug1:

Iggles are on tonight at 8 - they're 2-1 so far. Will keep my fingers crossed they do well this year. Like Penn State, they're about due.:smile:

Maybe the Phillies being in the playoffs will inspire them. But, we'll just have to wait and see.:shrug1:

And, here's hoping our Yankees can get that #90 - have a feeling that will bring big smiles to their faces while they're traveling home!:happy0158:

Great talking with you in real time and Have a great evening and a great week too!:howdy:

Fiat:happy0207:

[TobyTiger]

Greetings again, Fiat!

Thanks for posting the new College rankings here...and I did notice today that my BULLDOGS had moved up to #22! They're also all over the sports section of the Fresno newspaper.

:happy0158:

Congratulations again on the NITTANY LIONS and their awesome season so far!

Will be keeping track of our Yankees tonight...as well as the EAGLES on Sunday Night Football.

I'll tell a quick story, my father passed on shortly before the start of the 2005 football season, in addition to being a Nittany Lion fan he was also a Steelers fan. As the Steelers went on to the Superbowl that year I have always suspected that he was upstairs pulling strings to get his beloved Steelers, one more Superbowl trophy. I'm starting to think he has turned his attention to college football this season. :smile:

[Fiatjustitia]

That was a magical season for the Steelers, Janicelee - I have cousins and friends living in the Pittsburgh area who are still coasting on it as we speak.:s1gyahoo:

Here's hoping your Dad and all Penn State fans where he is will assure that this is going to be another national championship year for their Nittany Lions!:happy0158:

Have a great day!:howdy:

It's great to hear your niece is a student at PSU.:happy0158:

I hope you will have a chance to visit her at University Park and have her take you to The Creamery where you can enjoy the best ice cream in the whole wide world!:s1gyahoo:

Isn't it great the Nittany Lions are giving us reason to cheer while our Yankees are sitting at home?:hifive:

I love to go to the home games. You will never forget watching an LSU game played in "Death Valley". I have some friends that I go with and they do a tail-gate feast to die for!!!!:kissyface4:

:cray:I'm so jealous! I've never been to an Alabama game, but I would give my eye teeth to be in Death Valley for a killer game! I wear my LSU shirts every Saturday, if I wear Alabama they lose...lol..the only day I can't wear my LSU shirt is when they play Alabama. Then I just wear a regular shirt!

It's not only the game, it's the crowd and enthusiasm. Got a story for you about college football shirts. When my ex and I lived in Omaha he had a customer that was a die-hard Nebraska Cornhusker fan. Every home game he organized a bus trip to Lincoln for the game. We all met at the little neighborhood bar that most of the folks frequented, quite often I might add. Well, as luck would have it, that first trip that I took on that bus Nebraska was scheduled to play LSU. Now get a jist of this.....everyone absolutely wore red. I mean red shirts, red pants, red hats - well you get the picture. I had one a red parka, but underneath that parka I was all LSU. Since I was a newbie on the bus, the organizer called me up to meet everyone that I hadn't met prior to leaving Omaha. He preceeded to tell everyone that I was from Louisiana and they had a Nebraska convert on the bus. I said "Well, not quite and then took a small pom-pom out of one of my pockets - Nebraska. Out came the other pom-pom - LSU. Everyone :groan:'ed and booed me. I them said, I'm not done yet. Took off my "red" parka and lo and behold. There I was standing in a sea of red with my custom made LSU shirt that my brother had made up for me and sent it to Nebraska. The back had LSU in huge letters and the front had Mike the Tiger on the shoulder with LSU underneath....and......across my boobs......"The Fightin' Tigers". Never lived that episode down but had great fun doing it.:girl_haha:

BACKUP QB RALLIES #3 PENN STATE OVER BUCKEYES (http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/27372326/)

updated 10:07 p.m. PT, Sat., Oct. 25, 2008
COLUMBUS, Ohio - A late turnover and a second-team quarterback made the difference for Penn State. For a change, everything went right for Joe Paterno and the Nittany Lions at Ohio Stadium.

Pat Devlin came off the bench for injured starting quarterback Daryll Clark in the fourth quarter and led two scoring drives, sneaking in for the go-ahead touchdown to give No. 3 Penn State a 13-6 victory over No. 10 Ohio State on Saturday night.

“How many times have I told you Pat Devlin is a heck of a quarterback?” coach Joe Paterno said after his 381st career victory. “We’re lucky to have two quarterbacks.”

If your team isn't on at 2:30 today you should check out the LSU vs. Alabama game. The SEC should be at it's best game play today. I'm a Major Alabama fan, and my second team is LSU. LSU may have lost some games, but their hatred for Nick Saban and the fact that Alabama is ranked #1 will make this a very exciting game!!!! If you just love football, this is one you won't need to miss! Good luck to everyone's teams today!
