    Week 8 open thread

    In a continuation on a theme, some great games later today (OU-Mizzou and LSU-Auburn, among others) with a bunch of clunkers (Iowa St-Texas and Michigan St-Northwestern) early on.

    Clunker is in the eye of the beholder. My prof just offered four free 50-yd-line seats to the Iowa State-Texas game. Would that I could go. I'm suffering from serious gameday withdrawal at this point.

      I think Mich St.- NW has some real potential. Both are pretty good this year.

        Northwestern playing pretty good right now. If they hadn't fumbled at the goal line this may be 17 - 0 right now.

          Man!! Iowa State's up 7-0 in the second. Now I really REALLY wish I could have gone.

            Uh, wow. So I was right about Michigan St-N'western being a clunker, just in the wrong direction.

              Orange hanging in against the Mountaineers. Iowa State just got the ball back inside the Texas 50. Not bad early games.

                    Did you end up going or are you sitting at a library table?

                      kitchen table...though with this many hornbooks, it might well be mistaken for a library.

                        Texas down 14-3 against Iowa state. Big return for longhorns who may score. Still, nice for Utah if cyclones put this away.

                          I'm impressed that you can study and CUF and listen to college football all at once. Amazing multitasking babs! Texas starting to pick up momentum.

                            But very bad for the Sooners.

                              Huge 'cuse interception returned to wvu 15. :57 left in first half. Orange haven't been able to convert trip to redzone into 7 yet. Here's hoping. 3rd and 3. Go orange!!!
