WarGalley Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 [quote name='rhombencephalon' post='1507256' date='Sep 5 2008, 16.26']This calls for the obligatory [url="http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=3455278"]link to the story that confirms Duke football can't get any worse.[/url][/quote] I'm of the opinion that Northwestern is the worst football program of all the major BCS conferences. Northwestern fans used to "lake the posts" after certain games. From wiki [quote]Northwestern has won one bowl game, the Rose Bowl, in 1949. After that, the team has languished in decades of mediocrity. The team achieved notoriety with a 34-game losing streak from 1979-1982, the longest in Division I-A college football. Upon setting the new record in 1981 (thanks to a 61-14 home loss to Michigan State), students rushed the field to "celebrate," and chanted "we're the worst!" A win over Northern Illinois University finally broke the losing streak, and the students again celebrated, rushing the field, tearing down the goalposts, and throwing them into nearby Lake Michigan.[/quote] Laking the posts is a dead tradition now.. the student section tried to tear down the goalposts after we upset #6 OSU in OT a few years ago (best college memory ever!!). Unfortunately they cemented the foundations making it near impossible now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalbear Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 The U of O has a yearly budget item for replacing both goalposts. No shit. We actually plan to lose one pair every year. I think in 2001 there was a plan to lose 2 sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Oregon State they surround the goalpost with event staff. I think the last time they were tore down was after the 89 Civil War (the best Civil War ever) and that girl got hurt when she was hit by one of the post.

TheHoundRules Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I was at the UGA game when we tore down the post after beating UT a few years ago. I have never been so pissed. The fans ruined the hedges. Stupid. I stood there in shock that we would do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalbear Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 The last time was against USC last year. We thought about doing it against ASU. Prior to that, it was the Oklahoma game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dornish prince Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 well, wisconsin caught up and passed marshall but tOSU is still down :D i don't think they'll lose though. auburn is up 14-0 at the half. we fumbled away the ball in the red zone on our first two possessions so s. miss is still in the game. we're looking much better than we did last week in the passing game. kodi hasn't played a snap. it's been all chris todd (14-19 for 166). as per usual, we're dominating on defense. so. miss has 85 yards. i honestly didn't expect it to go that way because so. miss hung 52 points on somebody last week. ETA: tOSU is now down 13-6 :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll tell you what though, if I'm USC I'm licking my chops. I realize that Beanie Wells is out, but OSU is decidedly not scary right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, from a PAC-10 fan's perspective, I guess I ought to root for tOSU here, so they're a better opponent for USC to knock off. So that, y'know, when we beat USC later, it looks better for us. ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Storm Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Looks like the Buckeyes are going to win, but they better pay to the football gods that Wells comes back healthy, or USC is going to blow them away. GT has pulled ahead of Boston College, I believe that Johnson is a great coach and I think he will make GT a contender in the ACC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASU, Oregon, and I always add UCLA because you just never know have a realistic shot. Though Stanford didnt have a shot last year and look what happened...

dornish prince Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 two quick td's by so. miss has the game closer than i like it :( 24-13 also, we ran a punt back for a td that was reversed by a penalty. that's 21 damn points that we've left on the field today :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celtigo Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 [url="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/object/article?o=1&f=/c/a/2008/09/06/MNEE12P1DP.DTL"]http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/object/artic.../MNEE12P1DP.DTL[/url] Finally getting the tree sitters out and moving along with the much needed upgrades. Oregon State should be interesting. OSU really needs to avoid the 0-2 hole and the Big Ten could really use a decent OOC win. Wake Forest-Ole Miss is the same thing.
