Scouting Houston - Game Thread
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:03 PM ^
TCU needs to break top 16, not top 14, for an Autobid. Fortunately, for them to do this, michigan will in all likelihood break top 14.
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:02 PM ^
Umm..Houston we have a problem.
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:02 PM ^
Way to get ahead of yourself, OP
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:09 PM ^
Um, the post started with "If".
Who is in our next scouting thread? These are fun. Love watching with you guys.
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:03 PM ^
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:04 PM ^
What do you think happened to that guy?
I'm not a rapper.. I'm just an ordinary crack dealer.
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:04 PM ^
So. Miss is putting on an offensive clinic.
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:04 PM ^
USM's recievers have some hands, yo.
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:04 PM ^
they will be out about 17 million bucks. The good news is they will save a ton of cash if they make the Houston bowl.
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:04 PM ^
Wow a huge catch by Lampley.
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:05 PM ^
All I know is that I want USM to pull this out.
Otherwise I'll be forced to watch a Sugar Bowl with have the camera time going to the doppelgänger of Brady Quinn's sister/AJ Hawk's wife.
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:42 PM ^
I had finally put that out of my mind many years later. College football broadcasting's darkest and most infuriatingly stupidly produced game ever. She has split loyalty. We get it. She got more air time than the players.
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:05 PM ^
Well, start scouting Bedlam. The loser is probably our next opponent.
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:07 PM ^
I'm thinking Stanford or Boise if OU loses.
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:09 PM ^
Boise won't be going to a BCS bowl.
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:13 PM ^
If we play OSU we are in a world of hurt, especially if the secondary plays like they did last week
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:30 PM ^
Frankly, I think UM can beat Okie State if Denard plays like he did versus Ohio.
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:14 PM ^
I think actually TCU may squeak in now and be the new Houston, i.e. our Sugar Bowl opponent

December 3rd, 2011 at 3:15 PM ^
him.?
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:17 PM ^
Not to be that guy, but this one is one of my biggest pet peeves.
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:37 PM ^
He could change that to "BOB" pretty easily afterwards. Not really sure if that makes him look like any less of a complete idiot, but at least it won't tick off other disappointed Houston fans.
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:06 PM ^
I'm mourning Denard's 600 yard game before it even happened. :(
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:29 PM ^
He would have been pulled at halftime with only 400, and Gardner for the 3rd Q, with Bellomy for the 4th. I think Ann Arbor Pioneer's D is better than Houston's.
I'm kinda bummed because I like watching a good tail-whipping by the good guys in winged helmets, but it does seem to help UM get into the BCS, so there's that.
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:07 PM ^
But does Houston being dominated help Michigan or not?
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:08 PM ^
helps.
Houston may drop below michigan if they get blown out. Non AQ's also lose a BCS auto bid (unless TCU breaks into the top 16)
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:15 PM ^
Houston losing at all will drop them under Michigan.
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:09 PM ^
UM is a near lock now. UGA still has to lose for UM to be 100 percent in the BCS.
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:11 PM ^
Southern Miss must want to keep the TV ratings up in the 4th.
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:12 PM ^
This is some of the worst football I've seen all year. And I watched the MAC championship.
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:26 PM ^
Strong, bewildering words. Why would you watch the MAC championship?
So anyway, I'm watching the game on a laptop but for some reason there's no sound. They keep showing this girl in black with shades on who I'm assuming is someone connected to Case Keenum and looking very disappointed. Sister? Girlfriend? Unusually young looking mom?
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:33 PM ^
Its the wife of Case Keenum, and its a good thing she is wearing sun glasses
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:45 PM ^
But when I am, I like to point out that certain star athletes could have gotten someone way hotter.
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:14 PM ^
Don't look now, but Kansas State is losing too. *knock on wood*
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:16 PM ^
ISU has to be one of the best 6-5 teams in a while.
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:14 PM ^
This is just depressing if you are a Houston Cougar fan - one game, really the only game that you needed to get up for, and your high-powered offense is being shut down by an okay USM unit and your defense can't seem to slow down a team that was held ro 20 points by Marshall.
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:55 PM ^
have you really looked at Houston's 'schedule?' UCLA was the only 'reconizable' opponent and they were blown out by Oregon. On a side note...kids like Barkley from USC are the reason I hate spoiled ass kids...his tweets were all butthurt sour grapes...umm sorry dumbass I know you wish you were in the pac championship...but....you CHEATED...should be playing OHIO in the penal bowl with the loser being forced to play tennessee....at Northern Michigan University on Jan.1
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:15 PM ^
They have to go for it here. Your D sucks and youre down 21.
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:17 PM ^
Even if your D didn't suck really. That wasn't a "let's utilize a T.O. and talk it over" situation. The whole team should have known it was go for it time.
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:17 PM ^
Craig James now has Case Keenum at the top of his heisman list with this performance
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:18 PM ^
So do we add TCU comments to this thread or is there going to be a new thread to scout TCU? They are up 7-3 on UNLV in the second and are pretty underwhelming so far.
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:19 PM ^
New thread. You take this one.
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:20 PM ^
Better bring out some Phi Slamma Jamma!
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:21 PM ^
At least someone on Houston is delivering a knockout punch.
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:26 PM ^
How was that not an automatic ejection?
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:24 PM ^
Uconn has come back and only down 8 with 5 minutes remaining.
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:25 PM ^
Pretty gnarly of the band to play the "Darth Vader Theme" after the sack.
