In other college sports news the basketball coaches poll has been released and North Carolina are number 1. Kentucky are number 2 and are bringing in 4 Mcdonalds All Americans in this recruiting class. Wonder how much Calipari pays them :greengrin

11 votes for SJU - pleasantly surprised at that, don't rate our chances with such a young team which has lost 3 big recruits for the first term already. We do however have a player called God's Gift though so perhaps we'll get some devine assistance.

That's exactly it, didn't meet the minimum requirement set so are back at prep school for this semester. One of them, Jakaar Sampson, confirmed he wants to play come December if possible. The other two look likely to open up their recruitment options for next year. Real shame as it was the third highest ranked recruiting class in the country after Kentucky and Duke.

[Sylar]

LSU looking very comfortable against Auburn. The Tigers are yet again looking like the real deal and I'll be amazed if they don't make the BCS game.

I'm a wee bit scunnered this week - bye weeks for both the Wolverines and Patriots.

Looking forward to the Bucs vs Bears game from Wembley tomorrow though.

Never mind all that, why you still got that kite as your avatar? A bets a bet but your taking it a bit far :wink:.

Any hows, been on my holidays (again) so haven't been on but nice to see the Buckeyes getting their act back together. That's what happens when you start to get your starters back :thumbsup:. Big shout out for Herron. Really struggled with our QB's since Pryor and still not sold on Miller but getting the running game up and running will help. Not at all happy with the whole Posey carry on. Their tacking it a bit far if you ask me. Still he should be back for the game against the *********. Got Wisconsin next week and anyone not tuned into NCAA should have a look, the whole Scarlet theme is amazing :top marks.

Strange, there doesn't seem to be - maybe for the later games?

I'm VERY surprised at how the Wembley game is panning out - I felt sure that the Bucs would have won this without much issue today, particularly seeing as the Bears didn't arrive in London until Thursday night!

Miami are laughably bad this season - ALMOST as bad as the Colts :greengrin

Boomer Esiason is a prime example. Its a peculiar kind of snobbery that says a scrambling quarterback cant be a NFL star. Fran Tarkenton had the same thing; hes a freak, he cant pass, hes not a team player etc etc. People started taking notice when he broke the alltime passing yardage records though. Theres a lot of early parallels between them IMO, although Tebow could probably have been a linebacker in those days hes so big and strong.

Is that round about the time they expect Manning to be back?

[Sylar]

I'll drop mine when he does :agree:.

Is that round about the time they expect Manning to be back?

I wouldn't think so - he had a cervical neck fusion surgery in September, which usually takes 2-3 months to recover from, so he'll be 2-3 months with no activity whatsoever - he'll require a rehab period and return to fitness, so hopefully, early December is a bridge too far for him.

I guess he'll have an army of medical experts and physios to help him though, so quite possibly, he might be back in time - If they keep up this current streak, the Colts will need to make a decision between bringing him back a bit quicker to stop this rot or, give him until the end of the regular season to fully recover, settle for worst-record and first round draft pick and look forward to having the first round draft player AND Manning ready to go next season!

I cant remember a season with so many emergency room teams. Colts, Dolphins, Rams, Cardinals, Vikings, Seahawks all barely breathing.

[CFC]

Thats 2 defeatd in a row for Detroit then, Ill be interested to ser how they bounce back, I recall the Vikings missing the playoffs in 2003 having started the season 6-0.

Carson Palmers career ad a Raider starts off pretty poor throwing multiple piclks off the bench, they might regret trading high draft picks for him, lets see........once he gets rid of the rust

[CFC]

Oh TSSF no danger that Manning comes back this season imo. They wont make the playoffs so it would be of no benefit to try and rush him back as far as I can gauge.

[Haymaker]

It has been several days now... and 62-7 is still making me laugh!

[Sylar]

I see TO is on the lookout for a new club, having run a full practice in his hometown, inviting clubs to come and watch him.

Shame nobody turned up other than ESPN.

In all seriousness, I'd rather we had taken a shot on TO than Ocho - much more accomplished player with an equally big attitude problem. The Chad gamble isn't one that's worked in my eyes.

[DH1875]

Happy boy this morning.

Off to San Francisco in December for a conference between the 2nd and 12th. Coincidentally, the 49'ers are at home to the Rams on the 4th. A quick glance at stub hub and I managed to get tickets for the 50 yard line, front row for $50 dollars through StubHub - tickets are printed and sitting next to me just now! :thumbsup:

Stupid question but just how legit is this and how does it work? Looking at going over to the states and been looking at tickets and still don't get the print it yourself idea. Is that not open to counterfeit goods? and don't fancy going all that way when all I've got is a photo copy type thing :confused:. Also because StubHub don't post to the UK do you need to give them these details or did you use family/friends?

A promise is a promise :wink:

It's fully legit and an endorsed method of getting tickets from the likes of ESPN, the club websites and even advertised on TV.

In essence, it allows people who can't make the game (or agencies who buy the tickets, such as sporting holiday firms, local companies) to put tickets they can't use/want to sell on the website and you can pick accordingly. I've done will-call plenty of times in the USA for sporting events and usually it will either have a bar-code which is scanned as you go into the venue or they'll ask to see some ID/the card you payed it with - it really is easy, cheaper and very secure.

The not-posting-to-the-UK thing is a bit annoying, but a lot of the options have "download now", which is where you get the e-copy.

It's not like a touting website either, as you can chose any price range and pick seats according to your budget.

I was just having a quick glance back over this thread since it got underway last year and I'm proud with how long and well informed we've kept it going.

There's a good mixture of information, updates and friendly banter and grows by the week (a bit like the Colts' "points against" column). Interestingly enough with that parentheses, if you go back over the first 2 pages, we pretty much all tipped the Colts (one of the "regulars") to be thereabouts at playoffs/superbowl time. What a difference a year makes!

WVU leaving the Big East - hopefully that's the end of the purge! Would like to see Memphis and Temple join maintain the depth in basketball but looks like football considerations will get priority, talk of Navy, Air Force, SMU and even Boise joining.

Personally, I think it's time for the non-football schools (and Notre Dame) to break ties with what's left of the Big East and start looking after themselves rather than be held back by a sport they don't participate in.

Is not, is it? I'm gonna have to try even harder this week :greengrin. More fool you if you don't win though, 7 in a row I've lost now :party:

[James.]

Whichever one of you have Ryan Fitzpatrick has a good chance of coming out on top then, as Buffalo are going to light up your defense this weekend :agree:

Having said that, if one of you have Eli Manning, you're also in a good position :greengrin

Well I've got Big Ben so picked up a fair few points on Sunday there :wink:

FFS - the Patriots vs Giants is the "America's Game of the Week" on Fox tonight in the USA, but Sky have elected NOT to cover it.

2 good games on tonight though, so I guess I see why, as both us and the Giants are pish right now:

Jets @ Bills - 6.00pm
Packers @ Chargers - 9.00pm

The late game on C4 is Baltimore @ Pittsburgh - be interesting to see if there's a similar outcome to the first time they met, as the Steelers looked very accomplished against us last week!

Best performance of the season from us. O-line looked really good, D fence finally stepped it up and even Sanchez looked good throwing the ball. Still can't see us winning the division but feeling more optimistic of a wild card spot.

Ouch - I know the Dolphins are without a win, but they put up a good performance in NY against the Giants last week, so they always had a chance of getting some points against a typically poor Chiefs D.

Buffalo looked very poor indeed today and we're badly struggling against the Giants today - part of me thinks it wouldn't be a worst case scenario if we fail to get anywhere near the playoffs, as we're bloody woeful.

[Sylar]

Deary me - first scoreless half of the season in the NFL goes to us - amazing, considering we were chasing a record number of games in succession with 30+ points until we played the Jets in NE.

Never felt so frustrated with the Patriots and just to make matters worse, we need to face up against an on-form Jets side in the Meadowlands next week.

Anticipating another miserable sporting weekend - every team I support lost last week (Hibs, Patriots, Michigan Livingston...)

Can't say I'm looking forward to our visit to the Meadowlands or indeed the Michigan Illinois game.

As an aside, if the Jets win comfortably, I'll let either AH or DH post the updated scores and standings, as I'll be hiding for a few days :greengrin

As you say, unreal scenes of protest from the students, but if he has been complicit in the cover up then they are going to look very stupid. At a time when the focus should have been on getting justice for the victims and supporting them unfortunately the football team is looking like the more important thing to a lot of people.

Agreed. All of the respect that guy commands for his hugely impressive record as a head coach and his 2 BCS Championships, it really is a shame that he'll equally be remembered for this.

He apparently DID pass the information up the ladder to the athletics director of PS, but they elected not to take it any further. I guess knowing the lack of action being taken, it's very surprising that Paterno didn't then deal with the authorities directly.

Having said that, with the Lions bringing in such a huge amount of money to the school ($65 million p/y), perhaps it was too big business to disrupt with off the field scandal!

Be interesting to see what the reaction is this weekend when Penn State face off against Nebraska at home. I imagine the atmosphere will be hugely hostile, with a distinct chance for trouble.

As an aside, some early scores:

Honestly :grr:, missed the extra point to take the lead with less than a minute to go. Looks like we are heading to overtime.

Proper Bull kite. Not only do we miss that extra point, we then decide to settle for a FG in over time only for Perdue to go up the field and score a TD :fuming:.

No, I'm basing it on the fact that he's having to fight and scrape for wins against dreadful teams like Kansas (who Matt Moore tore to shreds), when he comes up against a semi-decent team (e.g Detroit) he gets destroyed. He's a beast but he's just doesn't have the skill-set needed for the NFL.

I keep hearing the phrase "he hasn't got the skill set required for the NFL" and yes, the guys passing doesn't seem that good on current evidence, but he has "intangibles" in that however awful it may look, he wins games. He did it all through college and he seems to be doing it now. He's a leader and he's a winner it seems.

passing accuracy and reading of the game can be improved with hard work and experience. He sounds like the sort of guy who will work hard, and he seems to be getting the experience just now.

I'm no fan boy, but I think he'll surprise a few of the pundits and get the Broncos to the play offs this year as long as Magahee and Moreno stay fit. I hope he does after the slaughtering he's taken from a huge number of pundits before he even got a chance....

Always liked Danny Woodhead :agree:.
It's not just this game that's over, it's the division. Patriots should walk the rest of their games. Their schedule looks like a walk in the park.
Brady has been different class tonight and makes you wonder what we'd be like if we had a decent QB. Think we could even struggle for a wild card this year and if so, I really hope Rex takes stock and finally gets rid of BS. Our O sucks big time and while credit has to go to the Patriots D tonight, with the amount of changes they've got/had we really should have done better. And why we haven't used Keller tonight I'll never know.

Any hows I'm off to bed.

Don't feel it changes anything in terms of our season prospects, but hell, that was very enjoyable :greengrin.

Our D looked a lot sharper last night and I have to say, I'm glad the Haynesworth experiment ended quite so quickly.

Gronkowski had a superb night and Brady looked as sharp as he did at the start of the season again. Our defense were efficient and got to Sanchez very easily.

The Colts continue their march towards a first round draft pick, with their impressive opening to the season :greengrin

The AFC East is a lot tighter than it usually is just now and as such, I reckon we might (as a division) even struggle to secure one of the WC spots! Houston, San Francisco, NY Giants, New Orleans and Green Bay are all looking very much like post-season teams already. The AFC North is one of the closest divisions and right now, would secure both WC spots, with Baltimore and Cincinnati having equally impressive records.

Hence I'd disagree with Rex Ryan's pathetic whimpering "It's over" claims last night - one reversal of results and it's all up in the air again. Our defense hasn't suddenly conjured a wealth of talent which wasn't previously there - it was just pure effort last night and they now need to play every game like that to realistically make the playoffs.

[James.]

Looking at your schedule, it's your division to throw away at this point. Bengals have still got Steelers, Ravens (twice) and Houston down the stretch, will be a big test for Dalton against those defences.

Didnt Rex Ryan say the Jessies were going to win the Superbowl this year? :wink:

Our run in is pretty good with only one team with a winning season so far IIRC?

Cant believe we played a WR at corner last night! What a patch up!

[DH1875]

So the worst D in football just ripped us a new one :fuming:. If ever there was a time for the gloves to come off and let Sanchez play it was last night. It's obvious BS doesn't trust him and as much as I like Sanchez, maybe it's time to start thinking about looking somewhere else (although I'd love to see BS go. To this day I still believe his play calling lost us a SB place last year). Think I'm right in saying we haven't had one passing play go for 30+ yards ALL season. Where was Keller last night? Patsies had safeties dropping like flies and we continue with the stupid play calls in a game we had to win. And believe me, we had to win it as there's only one team getting out of the division. No wild card here.

[Dashing Bob S]

Packers versus Vikings in the wee small hours. Aaron Rodgers is probably the greatest player in the game today and they are an excellent team at 8-0, but a lot of the talk about a 'perfect season' a la the Arsenal 'invincibles' is wide of the mark. They've lost a lot of points in some of their games and in November/December defenses generally get on top more than in Sept/Oct. Not writing them off, but they will need to re-adjust strategy and tighten up defensively. I feel it might take a loss for them to do that, and i believe that loss will come on Dec 4 at the New York Giants. By then they will be 11-1 and looking towards the play-offs and I'm expecting a second defeat for them in normal season by the Bears, who seem to have finally worked out how to block for Cutler, and I expect them to be be resurgent and finish second to the Packers in that division.

I have a sneaking feeling my beloved Steelers are going to be slugging it out with San Francisco at the Superbowl. Mark m' words.

Im not budging from my pre-season prediction Packers-Patriots. The 49ers are being criminally underrated by some though (It would be nice if Scotland was like the USA and had an EAST coast-obsessed football media :greengrin) and San Fran might have a say in the playoffs.In the wake of another embarassing Seattle season, i'll be cheering on the Bears.

If it's anyone other than the Packers - 49'ers in the NFC Championship game, I'll be amazed! Houston are going well, but they've yet to face a lot of the stronger clubs, as pointed out above.

The AFC is a bit more open ended I think. I don't think we have a good enough defense to get to the Superbowl to be honest and I can't really see past the Steelers in all honesty. I know Baltimore have beaten them twice, but they're losing games they REALLY should be winning and Pittsburgh have a very straight-forward run in to the playoffs. If it came down to Steelers vs Patriots in the AFC Championship game, Roethlisberger has already found the holes and lit up our defense, and I'd expect similar if we have to face them again!

Part of me is hoping we DON'T get to the Superbowl this year, as Aaron Rodgers will rip our wet paper sheets to ribbons.

[Dashing Bob S]

Watched the game last night on ESPN (currently working in Boston) and they were very, very good. Rodgers was yet again magnificent, but they block so well for him and give him time to pick those magnificent throws, even if his understanding with the receivers is almost supernatural. Yes, they must be favorites for the Superbowl again.

I just feel when they start getting to ten, eleven zero and go to New York on the heavier pitches they'll come a cropper and how they react to that will be telling. For some reason I feel a more rough-housing type of side will triumph at the SB this season, just a gut instinct.

[Gatecrasher]

Last night was superb, The D was a bit more like last years and Rodgers is Brilliant, Even Matt Flynn looks good and showed last season's show against NE wasn't a fluke :agree:

Kentucky - Kansas is going to be a cracker, will need to settle for highlights though with a 2am tip off. How are ND looking this year? Possible tournament bid? We're in for a tough year - our non-conference schedule includes Kentucky, Duke, UCLA and Arizona - brutal when you add the Big East lot in to the mix. Will be some great games but too much for such a young group of players.

Yep - Thanksgiving is always an enjoyable one - no family over to celebrate it properly this year, so it'll just be myself and the Mrs, with a roast turkey and trimmings, few glasses of wine and some football (I'm blessed that she likes it as much as I do!).

Only 2 weeks left in our schedule anyway - would love to get to 10 wins, but they're both very difficult games for us. Nebraska have been flying high this season and although they've had some shocking performances and results along the way, Ohio State will never be an easy game. Glad we have both in the Big House though!

I think I'm correct in saying that the BCS Championship game can be sealed this weekend if results go the right way.

3-0 against the easybeats so far.............. we have good guards but we have no interior scoring unfortunately.
This will be a transitional/consolidating year for us, our 2012 recruiting class is supposed to be top 10 but this year I doubt we will make the tourny.

Thats a brutal schedule you lot have, although I notice UCLA have already lost to Loyola, the team I like the look of this year is Ohio State, their point guard Craft is a great little scrappy player always plays tough d and they have Buford and Sullinger who are both projected as lottery picks.

[hibsbollah]

Insane, truly insane. The Broncos are generating no offense but somehow Tebow is willing them to victories. He must be a nightmare to play against. Fast and powerful runner, great deep throw, hard to bring down and a ridiculous will to win. (so much like Fran Tarkenton as i said in a previous post) The onus now is on AFC West coaches to devise a gameplan to stop him.

Lunardi has Notre Dame as an 11th seed - he's usually scarily accurate come March so will be interesting season ahead for your lot.
I'd agree with Ohio - Sullinger looks a class above sometimes, however I'm picking UConn to make it two in a row.

Hats off I recall you a few paged back being a Tebow believer, Ill admit I thought Orton was the better choice at quarterback for the Broncos prior to being dropped in favour of Tebow. At this point you just can't argue with how he is producing, at least 3 4th quarter comebacks and 4-1 in his 5 starts.

How bad were we :rotflmao: . Was just like watching the Jets :furious:. Struggled big time against the run and just couldn't get anything going on the the offence 2nd half. Thought the Lions D looked very impressive though. Still a bit of a let down for the neutral that no-one scored anything 2nd half.
Still.......interesting times ahead for next season. Rumor has it we're going for it big time as the natives are unhappy and we will be splashing the cash on an entire new coaching staff including the likes of Urban Meyer, Kirk Herbstreit, Chris Spielman, Jon Tanuta and Greg Studwara ALL coming. As for the Jets, as long as Schottenheimer goes, I'll be happy.

[Sylar]

I genuinely didn't have much hope for our last 2 games of the season, but we looked utterly brilliant yesterday! Robinson was fearful with his running game and pulled out the odd magical pass from time to time as well!

It certainly gives me a wee bit more hope ahead of next week, though despite their current implosion of form, I'm still not entirely confident against Ohio State. If we pull it off, it would be the first time I've seen us beat the buggers since I started following the Wolverines!

Some decent matchups in the NFL tonight - be nice to relax and enjoy the Sunday, as we don't play until tomorrow - Sky Sports are covering the Bengals @ Ravens, followed by the Titans @ Falcons.

Jackson was out of bounds, making the play over, so that should have been enforced at the new spot and not at our 2 yard line, where it was offset by the NJ Giants penalty. Officials got that one wrong.

Nice to see the Eagles win a game though. Not happened enough this season.

The commentators said he was right to make that call, you cant taunt opponents on the sidelines after the play has ended. I seem to recall a similar discussion after the Steelers superbowl win when Holmes used the ball in celebration of a TD and it should have been re-played. Either way, it was another Jackson **** up. The boy is unbelievable on the field but seriously needs to get the job done first sometimes instead of showing off.

But at the end of the day it didnt matter!

Would also like to say that I thought Young played really well at points despite the interceptions.

I think the Holmes comparison shows how ridiculous that penalty is if a play can be reversed. Means that Goodell thinks it's worse than head-hunting.

Jackson has all the tools but is a tool unfortunately. During the lockout he tweeted a pic of a $10k bar tab but now he's said to be living off his agent's credit card because he's broke.

Another Interception for Palko, Patriots ball on the 50, 5 mins to go in the 3rd.

3-27 at the end of the 3rd.

3rd interception of the night for Palko right in the end zone. 10mins or so left...

Vereen goes in for his 1st NFL Touchdown. 3-34 with one minute left and Kansas without any timeouts. Good night.

3-34 Final. Once again the Pats give up the yards (worst in the NFL) but not the points.

[Sylar]

I didn't think we looked as bad last night - our D, particularly our secondary, made some big plays and Kyle Arrington had a great game for us!

Rob Gronkowski is unstoppable at the minute!

So with that, (Kansas 3-34 New England), the standings are thus:

AFC East

New England 7-3
NY Jets 5-5
Buffalo 5-5

I thought we got crushed early on, Kansas threw some funny plays at us (as expected with a fresh QB) and our O-line got owned a fair few times at the beginning but in Bill and Brady we trust and we improved no end.

I agree, Gronkowski is unreal. I think they said last night was his 26th NFL game and he has 20 touchdowns? Amazing.
