I know.  They got beat up on in a preseason tournament, too.  I was really just tweaking your nose ;)

I hope UNC can beat Clemson today and win the ACC title.

College conference championship games today.  If Clemson and Alabama win they're in the CFP.  The winner of the Big 10 championship game will also be in.  At this point, I think Oklahoma has the fourth slot locked up.  I cannot see a scenario where someone could knock them out.  If Stanford wins tomorrow, they'll still have two loses, Ohio State didn't win either their division or conference, so I don't see how you can give them a pass.  If North Carolina should beat Clemson, they're so far back I don't see them being able to jump OU. 

Should be a great day of football, unfortunately, I'll miss most of it as I'm going with my son's scout troop the AF museum at Wright-Patterson.

We'll be sure to watch for you ;)

Seriously though, enjoy your day.  Sounds like a good time.

I wish UNC had won, but they played pretty well.  They scored enough points to beat Clemson.  But Clemson had a much better defensive/offensive lines than UNCs.

I regret the official blew the offsides call at the end of the game on the onside kick that gave UNC possession at the 50 yard line down 8 points.  But it probably would not have mattered.

Seemed to me the big difference between the teams was the ability to pressure the quarterback.  Clemson got to UNCs QB a lot more often than vice-versa.

Hopefully UNC can win whatever bowl game they go to.  A 10-2 regular season is something almost everyone else would wish to have.

I only watched the Houston and Temple game yesterday.  Houston runs a nice offense.

The Washington Redskins are in first.

Blaine Gabbert won a football game.

Tampa Bay is a wildcard playoff contender.

What world is this?!  :o

GO BUCS!!

Chip Kelly's overpaid disasters actually won a game! It's all too much!

Oh, wait...Browns lost, Rams suck and the Colts are a mess. Okay, everything's normal.  O0

Anchors Aweigh (1906 version)


Stand Navy down the field, sail set to the sky;
We'll never change our course, So Army you steer shy-y-y-y.
Roll up the score Navy, anchors aweigh!
Sail Navy down the field and sink the army, sink the army grey!

Get underway, Navy, Decks cleared for the fray;
We'll hoist true Navy Blue, So Army down your Grey-y-y-y;
Full speed ahead, Navy; Army heave to;
Furl Black and Grey and Gold, And hoist the Navy, hoist the Navy Blue!

Blue of the Mighty Deep; Gold of God's Sun
Let these colors be till all of time be done, done, done,
On seven seas we learn Navy's stern call:
Faith, Courage, Service true, with Honor, Over Honor, Over All.

Join the college bowl pick 'em league, or you all just a bunch of talk?  Put that "knowledge" to proper use by predicting the outcomes in the glut of bowl games starting next week.

Well, one of the schools playing in the game knows how to play football.  The other lost all of the football know how when the Air Force divorced them.

IIrc, Army has two National Championships.  Navy has none.  Of course, that was 60+ years ago, but, in college football, you claim'em if you got'em.
