scootergmc said:Anyone else want a safe bet? Try Cal laying the 11. 5. That line should move about 2-3 more points before gametime.

As for you California surfer dude football wannabees, I saw the USC quarterback on TV last night. The interviewer was asking him if he thought he could pass the ball against Oklahoma. The poor kid looked at the football and drooled on it for a minute trying to figure out what it was, then he said, "I don't know, I guess if I kin swallow it maybe I can pass it..... "
BKenny said:I not trying to jump in the middle of this battle but i live in California and have a lot of family in Alabama parents,grand perents ext. My dad was Military so i have been all over the place and poeple here don,t understand how big football is down there. It think poeple here can be close minded some times thay will rant and rave about some place they have never been to. I think some of them just think theres nothing down there and they just sit on there front porches drinking moon shine. I would love to see Cal and USC go on tour down there and see what happens . Im willing to bet it would be an eye opener for the west coast fans any way ROLL TIDE!

Don't leave out Ohio. Ohio State went 7-4 this year, but what can you expect after losing 20 (?) players to the NFL last year. At least we beat Michigan (and badly) this year. Thats like winning a national championship to us. OSU and "That team up North" is definitely the best rivalry of all time.

Dude, help me and show me your internet powers
Mike Ellis said:I think they screwed up the selections on the old Heisman, the Dude might be a better QB than OU's White, but I can say hands-down that Adrian Peterson is the best football player I have seen on field all year. He finished pretty high in the voting for a freshman, reckon we will hear more out of that young man. Going to be an interesting bowl game on Jan 4th, with three top Heisman finishers in the same game![]()
Even though I am an orange-blood I was kind of glad to see that Cedric Benson didn't win, he spent too much time playing under his potential to win an award like that. Benson is an awesome athlete, he could have had 2500 yards per year rushing if he really put the hammer down. Guess the voters all noticed that too.
Who knows though, he may be smart - conserving himself in college like that may lead to a long NFL career.
