NCAAFB Open Thread: The Arizonas
December 2nd, 2010 at 8:00 PM ^
Who are you picking? I need to know! I did take your Texans +9
I also dont know if this thread will see much action with the Dee Hart implosion going on. This might be a safe thread to be in
December 2nd, 2010 at 8:06 PM ^
Been super busy the last 4 weeks. Haven't scouted this week like I'd normally like to.
I'm feeling Arizona and the under (55 was last I saw). Expecting a repeat of the last time they were in the desert in 2008.
No confidence in that, but it's the gut.
December 2nd, 2010 at 9:23 PM ^
Tempe is in the desert too!
December 2nd, 2010 at 8:09 PM ^
Oh, and Texans +9 would normally be a good cover. I'm not sure the offense will keep up with Vick on the road. We've been ridiculous on the number of close games lately with the whole finding new ways to blow games, but that's not enough for me to feel confident with the +9.
December 2nd, 2010 at 8:01 PM ^
thats a goofy little warm up they have there in arizona
December 2nd, 2010 at 8:03 PM ^
in here? Not sure who to root for. Any convincing someone can do for to pick a side?
December 2nd, 2010 at 8:07 PM ^
There's Threet if you're into that angle. I'm not really into that angle (neutral).
I played an NCAA dyanasty with chunkums and PaulVB as 'Zona, so there's the basis for my rooting interest.
December 2nd, 2010 at 8:09 PM ^
Good enough for me. Go Wildcats!
December 2nd, 2010 at 8:11 PM ^
Threet plays for ASU and Foles (a MSU transfer) plays for Arizona
December 2nd, 2010 at 8:11 PM ^
Didn't realize Threet wasn't starting any more.
This new guy looks huge.
December 2nd, 2010 at 9:26 PM ^
...but is out with a concussion.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:10 PM ^
I think he's the tallest D-1 QB (6'8" or so).
December 2nd, 2010 at 8:05 PM ^
Thank God for this thread and this game. Can't stand much more of the panic and fear-mongering Re: RR, Harbaugh, Dee Hart, etc. Glad to just see some football on TV.
Interested to see how Osweiler does in relief of our old pal, Steven Threet. Looked pretty good last week against UCLA, but that doesn't really say much.
December 2nd, 2010 at 8:10 PM ^
I'm planning a volleyball thread later tonight. The ladies take on the Huskies in Seattle for the first round of the NCAA. There is a live video stream availalbe. More on that if I can stay up that late.
Damn 10:30pm start times.
December 2nd, 2010 at 8:19 PM ^
10:30? Whoa... that's not doing anyone any favors. I don't follow our VBall team that closely, what do our chances look like tonight?
December 2nd, 2010 at 8:25 PM ^
Such is the case of playing on the West Coast. It's only 7:30pm local.
Game should be good. UDub is #37 in RPI, we're #39. We have 2 more wins than they do, but one more loss. Haven't had a chance to scout them out much. Michigan hasn't played them since the 90s, so not much in the way of info there.
Engineering has me swamped, hence not having a solid pick for the football game tonight either.
December 2nd, 2010 at 8:30 PM ^
December 2nd, 2010 at 8:12 PM ^
For as many guys as he juked in the collapsing pocket, he almost just fucked it all up with that near pick.
December 2nd, 2010 at 8:51 PM ^
you're a pretty rad dude, just thought you should know.
December 2nd, 2010 at 8:41 PM ^
Threet got a concussion early in last week's game and Osweiler (6-foot-8 kid from Montana) came in and threw for 380 yards and four touchdowns. Those two are similar players -- either one could be pretty good. Next year will be an interesting QB battle.
December 2nd, 2010 at 8:53 PM ^
Threet got a cloaked zing from the announcer... 0-2 in playing in rivarly games.
December 2nd, 2010 at 8:59 PM ^
Apparently its kind of hard to put in Arizona. An 8 yarder by ASU followed by a 0 yarder by 'Zona
December 2nd, 2010 at 9:29 PM ^
did Broekheizen transfer?
December 2nd, 2010 at 9:17 PM ^
If you had taken the under, you'd be in pretty good shape right now.
December 2nd, 2010 at 9:23 PM ^
December 2nd, 2010 at 9:45 PM ^
"1500/2000...Michael Vick never did it, and not even Eric Crouch did it. Why is Denard not getting the Heisman love?"
-Mark May
December 2nd, 2010 at 9:58 PM ^
but it doesn't deserve it's own. I just saw a highlight of Cavs-Heat. I swear I saw Queen James with a swollen eye. Anyone else see this or did the pizza shop prank me with the wrong mushrooms?
December 2nd, 2010 at 11:20 PM ^
ASU's QB looks like he has no clue what he is doing, but he makes the occasional good throw that get's his team by.
December 2nd, 2010 at 11:32 PM ^
what a block on that PAT...clutch
December 2nd, 2010 at 11:35 PM ^
This turned into a great game.. pretty much out of nowhere. Get that ST coach here immediately. ASU's not UA's (as their KO goes OOB).
December 2nd, 2010 at 11:33 PM ^
Down 20-14, Arizona scores a TD with 27 seconds left . . . only to have the PAT blocked.
December 2nd, 2010 at 11:35 PM ^
ASU has it at the 40, with 3 time outs, and 27 seconds left....I feel your pain Arizona, I feel your pain
December 2nd, 2010 at 11:36 PM ^
December 2nd, 2010 at 11:40 PM ^
20-20
December 2nd, 2010 at 11:54 PM ^
December 3rd, 2010 at 12:02 AM ^
That TD run was Mike Hart-like.
EDIT: Or not. Hart would have found a way to keep his knee off the ground.
December 3rd, 2010 at 12:07 AM ^
of kicker committing suicide tonight?
December 3rd, 2010 at 12:07 AM ^
December 3rd, 2010 at 12:11 AM ^
The kicking game screws them....wow
December 3rd, 2010 at 2:34 AM ^
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Tempe went ape shit for about an hour after that. Kids running around everywhere, I guess I can attribute that to it being Thirsty Thursday though.
