when we win the game today...we all need to give the "D" a little props for their effort in the second half. they have played much better in this half.

yeah, I said it...when we win!

PROPS to the "D". They are the reason we won today!

Just talked to my Dad, he said Quinn just had a Montana moment.

[irish9331]

un-fucking-believable

 

[Irish Envy]

Man, I wonder how pumped those recruits are? They just witnessed an amazing comeback. Hopefully that will sway one or two of them.

 

[tommy]

how do the recruits love this moment wow

 

[irish9331]

When this drive started I just said...okay Brady go win the Heisman....and look what he did. I am just speechless right now.

 

[jerseyborn1971]

I would prefer those two worries...but such is life.

I guess those worries are back.....wow. These guys are going to put me in the grave early with this stuff. I have some phone calls to return. Lots of haters called to leave messages with 2:30 left to play.

Rush: D. Walker (ND) 20-44, 0 TD

Somebody please tell me why we should NOT put in Aldridge?

He might not be better...but comn if only for 1 or 2 drives

 

[isotopes]

I will give that to Quinn... When I think Heisman I think who do you draw up the final drive for... Troy Smith is still the number one for the race, but when it comes to needing a big throw on a big drive I'd stick with Quinn.... and yeah a hell of an effort on Samardizja's part but that's a big decision to bring the ball down when you've been eaten alive all day long, avoid pressure, and deliver the ball where it needs to be...

 

[BGIF]

Just talked to my Dad, he said Quinn just had a Montana moment.

The problem with most Montana moments was that there were 3 quarters of more of less than spectacular play that set the table for great players to make great plays.

If they made some of the less spectacular play throughout the game there'd be no need for last minute heroics.

That one pass still does not make up for all of his horrible passes... But loved the win anyway.

Bama up 13-6 on Tenn
Mich up 13-6 on Iowa
Washi up 17-16 on Cal
BC 24-17 on FSU

 

[tommy]

id love to put all my worries on the play of the ucla d they were good very good but damn it we should have done much better on o the line got whiped for 4 quarters sam young is the least of the o line problems and he is a frosh going agianst a guy with 10 sacks half way through the season

 

[Pete]

it's 13-9 Bama not 13-6

Quote of the day: I flipped over to ESPNEWS and Robert Smith, formerly of tOSU and the MN Vikings said, "I am not sold on Brady Quinn as a pro. I don't think he has what it takes. Whenever he is up against a tough defense, he doesn't get it done."

Of course Robert if you don't run out of bounds like a pussy against Atlanta in '98, the Vikings probably get to go to the Super Bowl that year.

 

[Pete]

Washington throws hail mary with no time left on the clock, and score to force overtime!
KNOCK IT DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[VictorsValiant]

I agree with that. I didn't watch this game, but why was it even close? The game was at home, and the opponent was down to their 2nd string QB who apparently couldn't even open his mouth. The question is not about the last drive, it's about the first however-many drives where the offense was stalled.

Well, if you would have watched the game you would have seen a terrible offensive line.

Take a look at your boys at home against a shitty IOWA team. Why is that game close? If IOWA doesnt make a gazillion mistakes u lose. Bottom line is, you can't get up for every game every week. Your going to have some games where you don't play your best. The good teams will find a way to win those type of games and that is why ND and MICH won today. I also think ND was rusty coming off of the bye week, but that still is no excuse.

 

[Pete]

Cal wins 31-24 in OT

 

[maison bleu]

My ND 21, UCLA 14 prediction looks pretty sweet now, doesn't it?

You guys keep responding to his posts with quoting them, thus I have to read the Skunk Bear dribble and render the ignore button useless.

STOP DOING IT.

Maison, you're still cool.
