Or as it was so properly called "opportunity to make snarky comments about ND" thread. Boy, inch above 500 points, get the auto email, and suddenly you feel the responsibility on your shoulders...

I like the new uni's for tonight ("frog skin" helmet texturing), and they are absolutely throttling a GOOD Utah team. I'll put TCU's defense up against anybody... they remind me kinda sorta like the really good Tampa D's under Dungy where they had a whole team of guys that could just fly to any spot on the field. I have to say I've been surprised by their offense as well. Stat from tonight, TCU has now (with tonight's performance) scored 30+ pts in 8 out of 10 games. BCS Busters unite! Somehow, someway give me a 12-0 Cincy v 12-0 TCU BCS game. Maybe the Fiesta Bowl if Texas gets picked up for the championship?

That was a pretty sweet grab by the Pitt receiver. Full layout grab with the defender running right next to him. Then he said into the camera something I couldn't quite make out. I think, "That's what you play for baby." P.S. "That's hilarious. Did he just eat all those lobsters?"

Wasn't Auburn up by a lot earlier in the game? I haven't been paying much attention to the Auburn-Georgia game but now Georgia is leading 24-17.

Wow! Arizona is down 16-18 at Cal and was driving for the score. On 3rd down a lineman tips the pass and the QB catches it. He starts running out to the side and sees a receiver wide open so he throws it to him. Illegal forward pass (2 forward passes on the same play) is a spot foul so they lose about 13 yards and have a 4th and 17.

Man both of these teams are shooting themselves in the foot. Cal scores immediately (maybe too fast) and then completely drops the snap on the extra point so it's an 8 point game. Arizona then gets called for a hold on the kickoff return.

Yes, that one was pretty darn bad. It was even worse than the other one I had seen the last couple weeks. Jim Leavitt is terrible, but then there are 2 even worse actors who watch his youtube clip and say, "That was hilarious. Did he just eat all those lobsters?"

What happened to ND's offense? Is Clausen that gimpy? Their passing game looked near-unstoppable at the beginning of the year. Now, even with Floyd back, it's a struggle for them to move the ball.

Was that game even televised anywhere in the USA?? Do people really believe Weiss is in the hot seat? He probably has like 10 yrs left on his contract, so firing him would probably cost 30 million or so.

I'm rooting for Pitt but that was a questionable replay reversal. Not only was it hard to call that indisputable evidence, isn't the college rule that if the play is ruled dead they can't overtun it? You could clearly see ND receivers casually walking while the ball was on the field since they had heard the whistle blown.
