Hopefully the eagles can beat the bears, then whatever happens against the falcons, GB will still be up there or better

**Gatecrasher** · 27-11-2010 07:35 AM

Awwwwww maannnnn Boise got beat :(

***Sylar*** · 27-11-2010 08:34 AM

Yeah, that ends Boise's quest for the BCS Bowl too - 2 missed FG's as well!

The Auburn @ Alabama game was great! 'Bama were comfortable at half time, leading 24-7, but after the restart, only managed 3 points in the second half, as Auburn steamrolled them, to eventually edge out a 28-27 win.

Beginning to look like Oregon and Auburn will fight it out for the BCS

They'll have gained a lot of new fans this year I'm guessing, as they're playing some really good football.

Another good win, though against a team they would be expected to beat.

Next Monday is going to be an absolute cracker @ Foxborough

It's about time us Jets fans had something to cheer about!!!

***Sylar*** · 27-11-2010 11:13 AM

DH - go easy after you destroy us tonight, would ya?

Bills are on fire just now and Chicago aren't 7-3 for no reason - I don't fear Miami, but the Jets at home are ALWAYS challenging.

I've learned about getting optimistic when it comes to following the Pats

You better believe it. Like I've said all along, this is the big one. The winner will go on to take the divison.

Yeh, just like all the glory hunters who have jumped on your band wagon in the last 10 years

. In truth the more Jets fans we get on here the better. If for nothing better than to just noise you up

.
Are you going to try and watch the game live or you watching it Tue?

I wouldn't necessarily say so - we both have VERY difficult run-ins once this game is out of the way - I'd imagine you're PROBABLY right, but we've both slipped up at points this season when we should be winning.

I'll probably watch it on the Tuesday in all honesty - even if I have the luxury of working from home on the Tuesday morning, I just never see the point in staying up these days, apart from the Superbowl or the conference Championship games - it feels like a recovery from jetlag the day after.

I'm well aware it became fashionable to follow the Patriots when we went through our successful period - I was the same as you and Ayrshire - I remember 2 seasons before we won our first superbowl, when we had the worst record in the NFL and the successful period afterwards was a lovely change.

Please don't take the following question as gloating (as I really don't know) but when was the last time the Jets won either the Conference or the Superbowl?

1968 to answer your question. Actually bricking it at the thought of playing you lot next Monday might I add.

Wow - I genuinely didn't think it had been quite that long - I'm not relishing the thought of playing you lot either, especially with a loss already to our name vs you this season. Home field advantage might make a difference, but you have a good team this season, so it should be close regardless.

***Sylar*** · 27-11-2010 04:08 PM

Couches rearranged to hide behind, ESPN America set and we're all good to go.

To win, we're going to have to outscore OSU - an easy task right enough...

I've never witnessed a Michigan win in the entire length of time I've been following them. A first would be nice!

Guess I'll need to wait a little while longer - started well enough, but in typical fashion of getting utterly NO decisions in Columbus and our habit of capitulating this year, we suddenly trail 10-0.

***Sylar*** · 27-11-2010 05:28 PM

This is turning into the blowout I feared it would.

Ohio State are just too strong, yet again - unless we get rid of Rodriguez in the off-season and bring in a better coach, who's willing to improve our recruitment/training programmes, we're going to face a very long losing record.

The only bonus of today is that, no matter how many points OSU hammer us by, it still won't be enough. to get them into the BCS contention.

Wisconsin FTW

O-H-I-O

Where to start, where to start.
Jordan Hall

.
WTF was that penalty on Posse all about?
You guy's would be nothing without Robinson. If he don't come out for the second half you are looking at a real doing.
What's your thought's on Pryor? Do you think he will make it in the NFL?

As for the Jets question, we actually gone the longest out of the current teams without winning it. Some teams aint won it but they haven't been around that long

. Superbowl 3, Broadway Joe and all that. Think last time we won the division was about 10 years ago. Not 100% sure but has been a while. Will check it out and let you know.

Any how I'm of to watch the second half

.

Dam, I really could go a Taco-Bell

.

Sorry, I had to delete that ugly 4 letter sequence - it was hurting my eyes

We're dreadful - utterly no question - I turned off around 4 minutes into the 3rd - it was getting silly.

It's a difficult question, the Pryor one, as I don't honestly know - I thought Tebow would have taken the NFL by storm, as he was sensational during his time with Florida. I also thought Stafford would have been a quick sensation, but it hasn't turned out that way.

He'll definitely make it in the NFL, but I don't think he's good enough to be one of the greats - he has the benefit of a brilliant surrounding offense at OSU and is helped by playing a lot of inferior teams during the collegiate season. James Laurinitis is a prime example - he was a sensation at Ohio State, but has been fairly ordinary since making the step up.

Enjoy the second half - I'm going into hibernation until the news filters through the Rich Rodriguez has been punted

**DH1875** · 27-11-2010 07:42 PM

HA HA, HA HA, HA HA, HA HA, HA HA, HA HA, HA HA, HA HA, HA HA, HA HA, HA HA.
I make that 7 in a row.
Never mind, we had a lot of seniors playing so you always got next year.
C'mon the Wildcats

. We wont make the Rose Bowl but there's always the Orange Bowl

.

**Gatecrasher** · 27-11-2010 09:58 PM

i want to buy this hat but cant find anywhere to buy it without spending £10 - £15 for shipping, can anyone help?

i wouldn't mind paying it if it were for a larger priced item, but its just a hat.

Heh, aye, 7 in a row, but still a way off of having the same long-term record

.

These games tend to go in long sequences of success, and it's been miserable for us of late - if we can bin Rodriguez (as is highly expected) and bring in a new coach, with a more comfortable defense, home field advantage (which I'll be at next year) and you losing a few seniors, we MIGHT have a chance.

I still reckon we're a few recruitment periods away from returning to the days of being able to beat you though

What was the penalties for OSU players making the "O" sign all about?

Christ knows what those refs would make of Scottish football.

Although they would recognise the *****yness from watching Meatchicken, right enough.

I have to say, I thought that was ridiculous! I also thought the penalty against Ohio State's number 8 diving into the end-zone for the TD was ridiculous, as he clearly dived to get in between our 2 defenders.

There were some shocking calls all throughout the match

**James.** · 28-11-2010 11:58 AM

Marist finished their season last weekend with another loss. Finished 3-8 (2-6 in their conference) I sure can pick em! They lost their last five but I've watched the Isles lose 14 on the bounce so I'm used to bad runs this year

Go Red Foxes!

Packers @ Falcons is the early game on sky as advertised on SSN

I thought the other 2 hats were nicer actually

Each to their own though!

***Sylar*** · 28-11-2010 07:37 PM

Your Packers are going to do well to sneak something out of this - been awful on the rush all day - take Aaron Rodgers out of that team, and you don't have much.

Defense has played fairly solid right enough, but offensively you've been poor.

4th and goal on the 5 yard line to push this into OT - all or nothing.
