Geesh. People wonder why I hate hate hate to fly.

OU has been sitting in the terminal at OKC for 8hrs now. AAR and United have tried to send 4 different planes to OKC from Houston to take Sooners to Manhattan for tomorrow's K-State game. 1 in OKC failed to pass engine inspection. 2 in Houston failed inspection 3rd was ready to takeoff and had to abort. 8hrs and 16 mins after boarding first plane, they apparently have 1 that's passed inspection and is ready to leave OKC now. They could have driven to Manhattan by now.

Not many boosters have planes big enough to carry 100 people or more

Memphis looking to move into the rankings. Doing a number on Ole Miss. Rebels starting to play better midway in the 3rd though.

well, ole miss isn't making bama or the sec look good.

Bama resuscitates A&M after torturing them the entire half, just to give them enough hope to torture them in the second. Mean SOBs.

You mean bama not making bama look good.

 

[tigerfan33]

Really hard to tell how good bama is at this time.
One moment they can't do anything wrong and the next they go in reverse.
Should be up by 4 td's.

I am at a loss for words, how do you not just sit on the ball punter!

I have a bunch of bummed nephews and nieces in Michigan now.

I feel that Michigan didn't run the clock down enough. They should have been running longer plays around the outside instead of up the middle.

Those Buckeye unis are lame.

What a big day for football.

Bama got a big win in a very hostile environment. They controlled the game from the start, got a little gassed and let the Aggies get a glimmer of hope before putting it out of reach in convincing fashion.

Coaker is still our question mark (with special teams), but he has improved and that may be all we need with the rest of the pieces in place.

The Michigan/msu ending was reminiscent of kick six. Great game.

Ole miss, well they lost to a solid, undefeated Memphis team.

Nearly all rebel fans I know had this game circled as a loss. They know what Memphis had, and being a largely overlooked rivalry game anything can happen. I thought once they jumped it early it might get out of hand. And it did, just in the other direction.

I never expected, after the personnel losses that Florida had a chance to beat the Tigers. So that turned out about as expected.

It appeared to me that they just got tired. I could tell Henry was close to the end, and with his work load that was understandable.

They probably should have been before the game, although I can understand with the schedule why they might not have been.

They have a real shot of running he remaining schedule and ending undefeated

Terrible ending for Michigan St's Jalen Watts-Jackson. He is out for season with broken hip received on return of that game winning fumble return yesterday.

Not lame, just Ugly .... The helmets are even worse.

Not hideous as the Browns' "new" uniforms

Thankfully, the Buckeyes only wear them ONCE a year.

Hopefully they wear thier Normal unis the rest of the way out.
Often times they decide to wear Alt. unis for the _ichigan game.

 

[mccoyrj]

The Buckeyes are one of those old school teams that you just can't get used to in anything other than their traditional uniforms. Sorta like if the Yankees wore all dark blue or something.
