*********COLLEGE FOOTBALL: WEEK 9*********

[Condem]

Jesus. What a titanic struggle to find 15 games of worthiness. Calm before the storm of next week's slate. Era took over the overall lead. He joined brendan with an 11-4 week. Tough as shit games. Collectively, the staff went 105-105. I believe the worst this year. Well done, fellers.
Okay. Another Thursday night match-up (not the greatest, but it'll do)so before kick. As always, thanks for playing.

5. I was in a pool with some college friends once.

My good friend was doing her picks, and my 18 month old niece (a very precocious kid) was sitting on her lap. My friend would say "Which do you like? Tigers or Mustangs?" And my niece would give her a pick. Damned if my friend didn't do really well.

14. I feel like a traitor picking K-State...

but I'm in a pessimistic mood about the rest of OU's season after last week.

[fishwax]

16. Even if OU had pulled it out last week, I'd be surprised at the line being that high

Manhattan has, in Snyder's tenures, been a tough place to play, and they've been especially keyed up to beat the Sooners since Stoops came to Norman and poached half their staff :) Plus, the Wildcats have played well this year, and the betting lines consistently undervalue them. They've beaten the spread every game but the first one. They were underdogs against Miami, Baylor, Texas Tech and Missouri.

I could see the Sooners pulling away in the second half, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a close game. I think the Sooners will bounce back. I sure hope so, anyway.

Last week was rough :grr:.

19. Aaaand it figures...

we both picked K-State to cover. Dang.

Fun game, though :) Let's see how this 4th quarter goes.

[fishwax]

20. lol -- I'm thrilled to be wrong

500 yards for Landry. What an incredible third quarter on both sides of the ball. :)

21. yep!!

it was a good game!
