College football open thread

by Ryan Van Bibber on Dec 4, 2010 10:15 AM CST

Lots of great college football action on tap today, as teams try to sort out the mess that is the BCS picture.

Ok, so it's not all that messy this year, but it's certainly not settled. Cam Newton and Auburn will try and hang on to their title hopes, amongst other things, against South Carolina today. And the Big 12 Championship game looks like a winner too.

Don't forget, Turf Show Radio is on the air today. Got a burning topic on your mind you want to listen to 3k and myself make even more confusing? Drop it in the comments. The call-in # is (818) 495-6910.

Speaking of the draft, we had lots of draft action on the site this week. Here's a look at a mock draft, the first mock draft in long time that takes the Rams playoff considerations into account. 3k also had his OLB big board for your viewing pleasure. Free agents more your thing? Well, ram_rod has the season's first official free agency post.

Mikel LeShoure played last night.

Hard, physical runner for Illinois. Is he a guy that pro scouts think can play well at the next level?

has as similar style to SJ39

he looks the part this season too.
I guess my thing is whether or not you want a guy with a different style who’s a complement to SJ39. Remember, they were interested in Sproles before SD kept him. That seems like the direction they’d go to me.

Let's not forget about the PAC-10

The Civil War game has national championship implications, and the ~~USC~~/UCLA game is always fun.

WoooooHoooo

I think I’m gonna have to go to work before the end of the civil war though. I have been doing nothing but working and sleeping it seems like lately.

In the "games that no one cares about" section

The Southeast Missouri St Redhawks (the school I attend) are playing Eastern Washington (in Wash) in the Redhawks first ever playoff game.

That game is in my neck of the woods!

It’s like a half hour drive from here.

I heard EWU is a pretty good team.

Sam Bradford drops back, sees Laurent Robinson in the open, and he completes the pass for a gain of 28! Oh- Wait, looks like a holding penalty is going to call this one back...(Oh wait; Barron's gone, ignore that last sentence).

EWU will probably have trouble with SEMO

SEMO isn’t the world’s greatest team by any stretch of the imagination, but at their level they have a very balanced offensive attack. Solid receivers, a fairly accurate QB with scrambling ability and an AWESOME HB. Henry Harris, he is pretty small but man can that guy fly. He ran for nearly 300 yds a few weeks ago.

Is that the red field?

by dbcouver on Dec 4, 2010 1:53 PM CST up reply actions

That's what I was thinking too

I think it is eastern washington.

by BruinHalo on Dec 4, 2010 4:04 PM CST via mobile up reply actions

I may be thinking of western or central or southern or northern or north central or south northern or something

Bearcat Arrested

I tried to scoop TST about the bearcat being arrested. He was tackled to the ground and violently demasked during the game today. This was almost ridiculous and should make national news.

The charge, disorderly conduct for throwing snowballs. I was right in front of the incident. OMG. Most ridiculous sports event I have ever been present at.

I’m hoping yours truly ends up on a sportscenter video of all the action! I guess a bad season weighs on the police too.

by JTPirate on Dec 4, 2010 2:29 PM CST via mobile reply actions

Just like the football team

There was probably no one to bail him out was there?

by dbcouver on Dec 4, 2010 4:43 PM CST up reply actions

Haha

The bearcat is leaving to cheer for Notre Dame and fulfill a life long dream.

This would be much funnier if it didn’t hurt so bad. Going from being in a national title conversation last year to being a dumpster this year isn’t much fun

At least ill get to see TCU play in 2012. The big east shall live on!

fuck fsu

i hope the hokies kill em

by Buck Nasty87 on Dec 4, 2010 5:01 PM CST reply actions

and they did

the drive down was miserable but the tailgate more than made up for it. Not sure if anyone’s ever been to an FSU game in Tallahassee or the championship game but f***in eh is their chant obnoxious. We gain 4, they chant, we punt, they chant, they gain 2, they chant…it’s pretty f***in ridiculous, especially when it’s a negative for them (the band must be run by morons). Anyways, Hokies killed um and Tyrod looked sick.

Julio Jones for Rams 2011
