11-05 college football live thread
« on: November 05, 2011, 09:33:26 AM »
The first games start at 11:00 a.m. central time, 10:00 a.m. mountain time.

I'm winterizing the house, and will be in and out as energy allows, given that I don't have a whole lot of it; every time I get tired of lifting the arms or carrying something, I'll come back here and observe the games.

The big one of the day of course is Louisiana State-Alabama.

Minnesota-Michigan State
Indiana-Ohio State
Michigan-Iowa
Northwestern-Nebraska
Purdue-Wisconsin

Illinois and that obscure state college in Pennsylvania must have the week off, the latter probably to figure out ways of cheating next week.

One sees Nebraska's highly favored over Northwestern, but I wouldn't be too confident.

Northwestern has a pretty good team, and has beaten us before.

Texas Tech-Texas
Kansas-Iowa State
Texas A & M-Oklahoma
Missouri-Baylor
Kansas State-Oklahoma State

I'm thinking Kansas State might pull an upset today.

The guy who's supposed to sit in that cubicle watching the games on television and punching in the numbers on the internet scoreboard must be late for work--the guy in charge of the Big 12.

These guys have no idea how good they have it; just to sit in a comfortable chair all afternoon, watching games and once in a while poking the keyboard.  They're probably paid more than minimum wage, too.

Well, I did all the winterizing I'm going to do today.

Usually it's a 4-5 hour job, but I've been taking three days.

I got one large window and one small window to do yet, but the most important ones are done, all tucked in for the winter.

Hmmmm.

Louisiana State-Alabama not until 7 p.m. central time.

I notice Southern California whopped the Colorado Buffaloed 42-17 Thursday night; good for them.

Colorado's a nice state and all that, and its people generally decent and civilized, but fans of the Colorado Buffaloed need to take lessons from Amy Vanderbilt or Emily Post or Miss Manners; for decades, they've been both the sorest losers and the sorest winners around.

Colorado was always "too good" for the Big 8, and "too good" for the Big 12, and so last year decided to hang with the cool, hip, trendy, with-in teams of the Pacific 12.

Well, they're now 1-9 for the season.  Too bad for the Colorado Buffaloed.

You know, many years ago (the late 1990s), when I was moderator on the "NCAA football forum" for America OnLine, I was frequently accused of being partial to colleges that had "Tech" as their last name.

I was, for example, a fan of Texas Tech, Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech, California Polytechnic, and would've been a fan of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, if they'd fielded a football team.

I'm not sure why that is, or was; I suppose I'm partial to "tech" colleges because some of the most interesting, most straight and honest, most well-rounded (in culture and arts as well as science and technology) friends I've had, and people I've known, were from "tech" colleges.
