Do You Know: What was the biggest blowout in college football history?
From the Stands/From the Couch
Did New Mexico State coach Tony Samuel warn K-State that "they should be prepared to strap it on?" I think the only thing K-State was worrying about "strapping on" last Saturday was another column of light bulbs on the scoreboard so a score of 100 or more points could be accommodated.
When was the last time you saw a place kicker hit uprights TWICE in the same game? I don't believe it's happened in the modern era.
What did you think of Darren Sproles? Last time I saw moves like that it was 1979 on American Bandstand!
Speaking of bad music, is there any song more inane than "Boomer Sooner?" We're dealing with Okies here, so we have to keep the lyrics simple and what do you get to rhyme with "Sooner?" "Goober" and "loser" don't quite rhyme, but they work for me.
I still can't get over the fact that we boo the visitors when they run onto the field. Why? Save your boos for jerks and enemies of K-State football. You know, Terry Bowden, Beano Cook, Brent Musburger, Mark Mangino and USC thug Troy Polamalu.
Did you see that Polamalu got nailed for another personal foul penalty. This time he popped an Oregon player deep in the end zone after a touchdown. I'm sure USC fans are now on eDuck explaining what a nice guy Polamalu is.
I imagine whomever extended Notre Dame head coach Bob Davie's contract is spending some time in confession. "Forgive me, Knute, for I have sinned ..."
There is no regret over OU head coach Bob Stoops' contract. Is he worth the reported $2 million or so he is being paid? Hmmm. Restored success to the program. National Championship. Apparently a clean program. Few discipline problems. He's worth every damn penny.
One question comes to mind when I think of Oregon and Oregon State football. Is "over-rated" one word or two?
I still do not understand the continued slobbering over University of Texas football. What am I missing here? When was the last time the Longhorns beat a ranked opponent? When was the last time they finished ranked within 10 spots of where they were ranked when the season started?
I find it interesting when they call someone a "Heisman candidate." At this point in the season, isn't everyone?
With a big game Saturday, Josh Scobey will most definitely be a Heisman candidate.
Both teams should be prepared to strap it on this weekend! And we're not talking about an extra set of lights on the scoreboard, either. This one will be close and feature two of college football's great defenses.
Answer: On October 7, 1916, Georgia Tech beat Cumberland College 222-0, despite shortening the second half by 15 minutes. At one point in the game, a Cumberland player fumbled the ball and yelled to a teammate to pick it up. The terrified player replied, "You pick it up. You dropped it." Yes, really.
Mike Riley, often seen in nifty plaid blazers, always picks up things he's dropped. Food, pencils or pants, Mike will drop them at any moment. He'll also drop a CATnip on you once a week during football season. Please, no booing.
