Let's talk some Football

...continuing the legacy left by their predecessor, the Oilers.

 

Yes, that was a sad day. I even cried after that game, and I'm a Cowboy fan.

 

I saw it coming when they missed a 34 yd field goal. Unbelieveable.

 

How about that Notre Dame - Stanford game last night? It was a thriller. Reminded me of the Notre Dame - USC game earlier this year. Except this time Notre Dame came out on top, and will most likely get a BCS bowl game. http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaaf/news;_ylt=AnA2hgJFtl0AAhiSo7jk79AcvrYF?slug=ap-t25-notredame-bcs&prov=ap&type=lgns

 

Not sure I agree.

Notre Dame really should have lost against USC. USC is the better team, but ND almost pulled it out. Actually, it's USC that used up a couple of miracles to win that one.

And Stanford never should have been in the game vs. ND. No comparison there. I think ND thought it was going to be an easy one, and almost let it get away from them.

Hey, how 'bout them Longhorns! It's amazing that every computer poll has them on top (#1), but every poll of the two-legged variety has them in second behind USC. Really looking forward to that showdown.

 

As did USC

It's amazing how a year can go. Normally Thanksgiving games....Colorado\Nebraska....Florida\Florida State....etc mean something in the Big picture....but not this year

 

Refreshing, isn't it?

 

Wow, the Eagles got shalacked last night by Seattle 42-0

Eagles are going nowhere fast(5-7). Seattle now 10-2(eighth straight win).

I wonder where this one ranks in the history of monday night beatings.

The list of dishonour.

The game that forever will stick out in my mind is the one simply known as the "comeback".

I live in close proximity to Buffalo and to this day fans and friends still talk about that infamous game.

Watching that game was like being in the twilght zone for 3 hours....

I can just imagine how Houstonites felt that day.

Very good game indeed and even tho I was a teenager....watching The Ice Bowl will always be top's on my list. Weren't no foot or hand warmers back then like they have now

 

Vague memories of that one(Ice Bowl) but remember my father talking about it many times.

In the Canadian Football league probably the most infamous game was known as the Fog Bowl. It was so bad, the game had to be postponed, resumming the next day.

Ahhh....Soldier field....December 31, 1988....couldn't hardly see nutin on the TV because of the Fog.

The Fog Bowl(Chicago Bears vs. Philadelphia Eagles)

 

Let's just hope the Texans don't accidentally win a game and lose their lottery position. I wonder how the $750 million McNair paid for the Texans is carried on his balance sheet...

A true Houston sports fan never feels safe with any lead in any sport at any point in the game...

However, the Longhorns probably felt secure in their Colorado game. Ditto for the Bruins. Bring on the Rose Bowl!

 

I don't think I can wait! That is going to be a great game.

 

I think in tax accounting we called it a loss carryforward!

I don't think Dave Carr's gonna return home here in Bakersfield during the off season. His team stinks worse than when he was a rookie.

The Texans must continue the ineptitude to get the Reggie Bush draft pick, assuming Reggie opts for the pros after his junior season. Hard to turn down the bazillion dollars when they wave it in your 22-yr old face.

Although a lifelong Bruin fan, I easily switched allegiances when the guys in cardinal & gold went 12-0 on the other side of LA. Make that "fair weather fan". Jeez, we get the game of the century (Rose Bowl) in the 1st decade.

 

I was also hoping Jacksonville was going to be able to pull off an upset. Not looking that way right now. Although I do like the Colts. For that matter, I would prefer any team to the Patriots right now.
