[OregonBuckeye]

Yep, it showed up. I like it.

Well, as expected, College Gameday will be going to Austin on Sep. 9th. It will also be a primetime matchup on ABC like last year.

College GameDay will kick off its 20th season by originating from the site of the first two ABC prime-time telecasts: Georgia Tech Sept. 2 and Texas Sept. 9.

Notre Dame vs. Georgia Tech??

I have no desire to look, but there has to be something more appealing than that in the first week. That schedule just all around sucks pretty badly, oh well.

 

[OregonBuckeye]

Georgia Tech has some hype surrounding them and is expected to be ranked in the top 25.

Yeah, but considering Notre Dame is slotted for two other possible games it would be nice if they would "spread the love" a little better.

But annnnnyways, Ohio State Texas... should be a good game.

Isn't Miami/FSU that week?

But it's Notre Dame...you know, America's most popular team, the one with the biggest fan base.

Yeah, but they play on Monday which ABC will broadcast.

If Romance is convicted...

Valentine's Day will never be the same.

Best Overall Athlete
Ted Ginn, Ohio State
You name it, he can do it. Table tennis, driving golf balls, throwing a football ... he is very good at everything and is a great person.
Best Fastball
Troy Smith, Ohio State
If he can't play quarterback in the NFL (I think he can), he could be a Major League pitcher. He can throw heat and strikes. He put on a show Friday night.
...
Best Leaders
Joe Thomas, Wisconsin
Troy Smith, Ohio State
Both players seemed to have the respect of all the players present.

but not to be outdone, UT players excelled in the pool and at 'looking like golfers'

Mr. H2O Award
Frank Okam, Texas
Gaines Adams, Clemson
Both were very good in the water games and helped their teams with great effort.
Best Putter Award
Justin Blalock, Texas
He looked like a pro golfer rather than a football player.

Just saw this picture of the person (picture #6), and his buds, of the person who owns the ranch where Ramonce Taylor supposedly got asked to leave, started a fight, had his window smashed etc. Not to sterotype too much, but I have to say that Ramonce's claim that racial slurs were hurled his way seems like a very real possibility.

I'll be slightly less pissed off at whoever directs College Gameday if they sing Oklahoma's fight song from on top of the stadium. Only slightly less. It'll show that they weren't just doing it to Ohio State. But that doesn't excuse the fact that they actually did it to Ohio State.

 

[OregonBuckeye]

I'm surprised Nick Lachey is still breathing after that stunt.
