The Official College Football Thread!
man the bears are killing me... just when there team looks elite they CHOKE. *sigh* riley is a bad QB.
Stanford looked really good today.
Washington gave Notre Lame the win.
Look out for Oregon... they're starting to look like the unstoppable team from last years season end. If Masoli keeps it up, look out!

This is what makes college football/NFL stupid. Good, clean, hard hits to JAR the ball loose should NOT be called an illegal hit. Helmet to helmet, yea I agree, but the rest I do not agree with. An INTENTIONAL helmet to helmet. An accidental helmet to helmet such as this is not even the guy's fault
To me, this hit was ABSOLUTELY 100% LEGAL. Sorry Boldin got his brains rattled, but this was a legitimate hit. The Safety should have never been fined. Why? HOW CAN the safety react almost less than a SPLIT second after the Cornerback changes the receivers trajectory? Right BEFORE the safety hits, you see Boldin's body/head pushed forward from behind by the CB. 100% totally legitimate hit. Receivers know the consequences crossing the middle. QB's know that too and it's all apart of the game when you leave someone out there as a target.
Hitting receivers down the field and the "Personal Foul, lighting up a defenseless receiver with a hard hit" is a load of bullcrap. Safety's + CB's break on the ball, and aim to light up the target if they know they're going to catch the football. It's apart of the game, NFL is fun to watch because of all the EXPLOSIVENESS (If anyone ever played in any football team, like in high school, they teach EXPLOSIVENESS when training)
Happens in football, happens here. The touchy personal fouls against the QB makes the game suck too.
eg. Hands touching QB's helmet trying to swat the ball, etc. The Chippy-barely .1 second "late hits" that seriously would NOT be called if it was a running back or a receiver.

GO BIG RED!!
i am a Nebraska fan, and will always be one.
Neither of my teams are doing very well. Nebraska was once a ****ING FANTASTIC team, but as soon as Tom Osbourne left the picture it was the end of a dynasty. and the lions... well... maybe one day...

This is how you are NOT supposed to score a touchdown (Posturing = No rigid limbs = brain lost contact with the rest of the body)
This is HOW you're supposed to enter the end zone...
