, if they keep destroying teams like Michigan St and Indiana, I may just jump on the bandwagon too.

cheers

That coming from a WV fan...with your schedule...better watch where your pointing the finger there...I have feeling you don't survive Thursday night...then you go back to the hole you come from called the Big East Conf....;)

I am happy and surprised to say that I dont think that EVERYONE in Columbus is ready to pack up for another vacation in Arizona. Michigan has broken our hearts too many times.....but I know Tressel will have the boys ready.

I agree...Tressel is great prep coach but by no means is this one a guaranteed win...I'm glad we have several things in our favor...Tressel's record against Mich, Troy has always played great against Mich, and we are at home...

I guess we'll have to wait till 2008-09 for a home and home series.


As for the game between osu and mich. whats the total gonna be cause i see a low scoring game. Hell with osu's offense getting all the attention, their defense is number one in the country in points allowed. Total of 38???? Maybe tOSU 20-13.

By the way pretty much forget about team speed, cause the turf in the shoe is CRAP. Just installed a couple weeks ago and its not taking, but rather coming up in chunks.

The university is spending another 100K and putting new turf just for "the game"...they are putting in this week...

Gman, spoke to handicapper last night that has about 40 yrs of expierence and he helped explain why the line would be 6-7 pts...

Texas is gonna get stuck with Boise. Big 12 locked into the Fiesta, and Fiesta gets last choice of teams. If Boise is qualified, that is where they will end up.

boise does have a tough game at Nevada but they should get through.

even if ND loses to USC, they will make the BCS?

it's funny that Texas could win out and possibly be #2 in the AP going into their BCS game (although i wouldnt be surprised to see some team leap Texas in the coming weeks) and wind up playing the lowest ranked BCS team.

nothing against Boise, but I think the better game would be Auburn vs Texas & ND vs Boise.

this is a hot mess

that's a big "if"...Sorry beef up the schedule then maybe people would start to take WV seriously...I'm not worried about the Little East at all...they'll take care of themselves...I don't think we'll see an undefeated team come out of that conference...pulling for the Rutgers though...

I've seen WV play several times this season and they are one dimensional...put 8 in the box and make White throw the ball...I mean come on people he's a glorified RB playing QB...he has only thrown for over 150 three times this season and his total six passing TDs says it all...

After Thursday Louisville will be the team everyone is talking about but they'll stumble against Pitt or S. Florida....

Its been unfortunate that Louisville lost Bush because this team healthy is the real class of the Big East....

If I recall correctly from last year, Louisville was the class of the big east going into Morgantown. Maybe you caught the instant classic result of that game on ESPN.

I think to say that Pat White cannot throw the football is an understatement and to say he only averages 150 per game is not considering the fact that when a team rushes for 300 ypg, they dont need to throw for 300 and and 3 td's.

I guess if you're Louisville this Thursday you're happy this game is at home instead of at the Carrier Dome where they struggled against a JV team in Syracuse.

Actually I didn't say that was his average I said he only thrown for over 150 three times this season...his actual average is 117 pyg...:mj07:


and yeah pretty easy to run for 300 when you playing teams like Eastern Wash...by the way he only attempted 4 passes in that game...:mj07:

And WV didn't exactly set the world on fire playing E. Carolina...I believe White's ratio was 2/3 for that game...

Ahh - irregardless, I guess a lot of questions will be answered on Thursday night.

I think its a bad sign that Brohm has struggled recently. My impression of him until he returned from the injury is that he was undoubtedly a Top 5 to 10 QB in the country. The kid is accurate and doesn't make mistakes. Im not sure what the issue is recently.

All I'm hoping for is another victory. I'm not sure even a sound one would garner any respect. Best to appreciate this team for what it is and thats one of the most entertaining teams in the country.

Best of luck to anyone who makes a play. Im gonna have some BBQ going and the beers flowing pulling for the Mounties.

Cheers!

I agree they are entertaining and your right on about Brohm...maybe the injury has something to do with it...

like you said we'll see what happens...I will be on the over in this one...Because we'll see some scoring...

Enjoy the game TP....we can pick this conversation back up after the game thursday...

In my eyes Florida and Texas are the only ones who can or should do it. The rest are a notch below WVU.

Tennessee may be the worst top ten ranked football team in the history of college football.

Another good question is what is the discussion if WVU goes into Louisville and wins by 2 or 3 td's convincingly?

:mj07: :mj07: :mj07: Wow! UT has lost one game all year and it was to Florida by 1 point which they should have won. They blew out California but yet they are the worst Top10 team in the history of college football. Do you really believe that? :shrug:

Ya- I've watched Ainge play QB and he is mistake prone. Watch this weekend.

You could argue the same for Chris Leak...

If ND is worthy of a top ten than Tenn is more than worthy of their ranking...I just don't understand why the Irish are considered top ten team...

Is it just me or did Charlie Weis come off like a cocky jerk in that 60 minutes interview...It sort of changed my opinion about him...

I agree although i think leak is bit more refined than Ainge.

ND is a whole different situation. And you're right, weise is a bit condescending at times. But we all know why ND will make it into the BCS.

If the line is Michigan+7 I will be betting the house , my CLK , a couple of my Cartier watches ,
maybe my wife's diamond ring.

OSU lost to Texas @ the horseshoe last year.
Michigan can win this game.

considering that the most important player on the field in this game (troy smith) wasnt even the starting quarterback against texas last year, im not sure how thats a relevant game to reference.
