COLLEGE FOOTBALL: WEEK 13

[Condem]

The penultimate weekend of college football is upon us. I said good-bye for another year to our old brick lady, Kinnick Stadium.





I'm staying with the BCS theme again, folks. Lots to settle to get to those Big Bowls and the huge $$$ payouts. We have a Turkey Day
game, so sometime before kick-off Thursday night. As always, good fucking luck with standings to follow.

6. The "Duel in the Desert" is what the rivalry is named

It's played for the "Territorial Cup" which is the oldest traveling trophy in the NCAA first awarded in 1899. Arizona currently leads the series 45-36-1.

[Capt. America]

12. Thank you. They have been playing this rivalry game since before AZ was a state!

[Condem]

7. Man. I'm bummed.

No 'Damn, Condem. Those snaps of Kinnick are beautiful in the gloaming of another season. As we age like a fine Scotch, these pics will stick in the utmost labrynth's of my mind.' Come on!

[JonLP24]

8. I enjoyed them

I spent a minute looking at them before I scrolled down for the picks. I thought of doing the same next year so by that time maybe I'll have a digital camera and a better PC-- hopefully ASU will be better.

Great pictures :thumbsup:

[Condem]

9. LOL, Jon. I took them with my cell.

Seriously, though. The last game. I always hang around for a long time after the game. The beer's on ice..it can wait. Just like to look around one more time until next September. Man, I love this game.

14. Boomer Sooner, a la!

We need ya' to come through. C'mon Bobby. For your alma mater.

[a la izquierda]

15. For your sake, the game's in Norman.

We typically show up there. This season, our Farm Team has shown up for the away games.

[Condem]

18. Hey, a la. Who's QBing for OSU? n/t

[a la izquierda]

21. sorry, didn't see this til today...

i'm hoping you got to watch the game :)

[Condem]

22. Happy and I did, a la.

We thank you. I think the Hawks are Fiesta bound. Word is around here, Stoops is ND's next coach.

[a la izquierda]

23. No way...

I guess we'll have to wait a few weeks and see, but I doubt it.










Or, I hope not.

[Condem]

24. We hear all but a done deal.

The whole Catholic thing.

[a la izquierda]

25. To be fair...

being Catholic in this state can be a dilemma (I'm lapsed, but occasionally show up on holidays, or when I need a letter stating good standing). But there's a very good Catholic school on the west side of Norman (which is the side of town Stoops lives on)...

Hmm. No one is saying much about this here. I'll have to listen to the radio on Monday.

[Condem]

26. Being Catholic, a la, I haven't been to church since Jesus graduated from Nazereth HS.

I think Coach Stoops has accomplished all that he has needed to at Oklahoma. Time to move on.

[a la izquierda]

27. Yeah...

my husband thinks he's gone, too. Well, as long as we don't get Crybaby Meyer.


And I do the Catholic thing occasionally when family obligation requires. But I think the organization is a sham... :evilgrin:

[Condem]

28. Wow, a la . You won't get Meyer.

Four great games going on at once. LSU-Ark, ND-Stanford, UGA-Ga Tech and Tenn-Kentuck. Amazing!

[RT Atlanta]

13. War Damn Eagle!

UA-Tuscaloosa, meet Mr. Ben Tate and welcome to Running Back U




There will be some upsets this weekend, and hopefully AU is on the "giving" end of one on the Plains on Friday....

17. For late November, joey, cannot complain.

Low 50's. I'm still looking forward to a snow game. I'll tell yoy. We've been incredibly blessed year after year. Maybe two rain games in ten years. And that was drizzle.
