OK, Football Fans!!

[Minky]

How did your favorite team do this weekend? Mine had their Bye week, thank goodness:o

I'm almost ashamed to admit that I'm a cheesehead..... but I guess my avatar gives me away;)

[JHolcomb]

OK, I'm a college football fan...

So, we got killed by Florida State (my and DH's Alma Mater is Wake Forest, DH also got his master's there).

Our season hasn't been that bad. Better than in years past, anyway. Hopefully our basketball team will do really well. We're supposed to be ranked 3rd in the ACC, but I think we'll be better than that. I have faith that we'll be 2nd. Not that we'll be better than Duke (boooooooo!). Oh well, at least we can still kill them in football. Not that that's any great feat, but it's something.

This was a good week for me....

In the college world:
Clemson won (SHOULD have won much more impressively than they did...but, a win is a win is a win).

In the pro world:
Carolina Panthers won (another overtime...they've only lost 1 game this season!!)
AND...
My longtime favorites, the New England Patriots also won. :D :D :D

Don't tell ErinM, but I think Joey Harrington is quite the hottie:D ;) Ssshhh - maybe she won't see this....



And, JHolcomb - we are Wake Forest fans during basketball season:) and we don't even know anyone who went to school there!!

[jjsooner73]

BOOMER SOONER

[MKSquared]

GO BUCKS!

Ohio State won handily over Indiana, as expected. Seems that we DO have an offense. It's just that he goes by the name of Lydell Ross. :)

[linsleyd]

Surprisingly the EAGLES won! Can you believe it!:D :D Course I think it's just KristinK and me as the lone Eagles fans.....:)

Now you do! RebeccaT went there, too. Go DEACS!

[SueK]

Well, both of the teams that I follow (PSU and Steelers) have bitten the dust this season. It's pretty pathetic.

MK - get ready for your Buckeyes to wipe up the field with us this Saturday...:(

[615bride]

but my weekend was split. The Panthers did well again and are having a great season but the Tarheels have yet to impress and probably won't this season. I feel badly for Durant (quarterback) because it seems that on the whole, it's our defense that hasn't shown up this season. Nice to see all the Wake fans - my DH got his master's there and works there now....

[jennkristy]

Go Buckeyes, indeed! But we've got some tough ones ahead against that "blue" team and that "green" team, both from the same state! :p

I'm also a big Browns fan, but let's not go there right now......:o

[kirkbyky]

Okay, gotta lay down that gauntlet I've been carrying around...

We'll see how much that BLUE team rocks after next saturday.:p Or are their heads filled with rocks? carrying rocks? pop rocks? somethin' like that! :o ;)

GO GREEN!

:p

Ouch! I guess I was so consumed by how bad the Chargers have been over the past 3 years, I didn't realize you Lions' fans were suffering as well.

Of course, I am also a Ducks fan. With Kariya and Selanne gone, what do think are chances are of them returning to the Stanley Cup. But that is for another thread....

WOO WOO!!

Jen, I would like to take this moment to applaud your attempt to steer the conversation to the only sport that matters, basketball. Oh well. I only have to put up with football for a couple more months. :p

Just kidding, football fans. Have fun this season. :)

[KristinK]

Ooh, ooh, here I am, Linsley! And, yes, what a surprising but very relieving win!

E! A! G! L! E! S! EAGLES!!!

(But for my real love - the SIXERS start tonight!!!)

[rinsav]

I'm an Eagles fan too (more to support my Philly-raised hubby but I do like them too...). They don't look so good this season though a bit better on Sunday. Maybe there's hope...

My AFC team is Indy....They're doing great!!!

The Lions haven't had a winning season in about 10 years. Seriously, it's that bad. And as far as hockey, you have Sergei!

Oh, so you didn't think I'd catch this, huh???? :D Yeah, I saw this while I was at work, but didn't have time to respond. Tell me Minky, how can you cheat on me and our boys like this????? And with JOEY HARRINGTON of all people??? I'm not sure how I can go on... ;) :D

Actually, when my mom was down because the Pack wasn't playing, I said "Well, gee, Mom, at least we know our Sunday will end happy!"

Sad, but true....

Well JJ it's bedlem week...GO POKES!

Erin - I am busted and I am SO sorry - I think it might have been a momentary lapse of (in)sanity:D

Be sure to remind your mom that last week's lack of gametime stress will be replaced by who-knows-what Sunday night - ack:p Let's hope that Brett is back to 100% too:) Must also locate and wash so-called "lucky socks" :o

[ErinM]

Well, that's nothin! I have lucky underwear. Yep, it's Packer underwear

[badunnin]

I admit that I own a Cheesehead. It was a gift from 2 former students of mine who were Packer-Backers - when they graduated and I left the school, they decided that I needed one. :rolleyes: It's in a box in the basement (I don't know where I'd where it! What shoes do you wear with a big piece of foam cheese?)

Wear your cheesehead proudly with a pair of insulated boots, Packer sweatshirt and for kicks a big blaze orange hunting jacket. Take a trip to Lambeau Field, where you'll fit right in! :D


And to complete my post from last night, that was TMI I know, but I couldn't finish since my keyboard died :rolleyes: :eek:

I've actually been to Lambeau as well! I went to university in the UP of Michigan. ;)

Darn! I got the funniest email today , and now I can't find it. It was a fake Associated Press release about how the Nittany Lions found a suspicious white powdery substance on the field during practice yesterday, so the coaches suspended practice and called the police. Upon further inspection, it was found to be the goal line, and the police resumed practice because they concluded that the team wouldn't encounter it again this season.

Anyway, MK and all you other Buckeye fans can rest easy about your sure win this Saturday.

Ummm .... Go Pokes? :) Sorry, Jennifer, but I really need your Sooners to lose.

Sue - stranger things have happened in Big 10 football. I mean, Northwestern beat Wisconsin last week - so anything's possible. OSU is still trying to prove themselves ...

I guess we'll see, although right now our team is dwindling in numbers. If they haven't been kicked off the team for assault, they've been suspended for any number of other offenses....:(

[Kate B]

We're almost out of quarterbacks, but hopefully Monday night will be a good one!

(Denver Broncos)

I admit to liking the Packers, too, but probably only because Minky is my sister. :)

Supposedly the same joke is floating around about the Eagles (and presumably other teams, I'm sure). My dad just told me about it last weekend - before their big win on Sunday, of course!

[SueK]

I know, Kristin and Linsley - our PA teams aren't doing too well this season! I'm glad I'm also a Pitt fan so at least I have one team that is winning.

Yes, another sooner fan here. I went to both undergrad and law school there. My dad on the other hand, still has his stadium blanket from the days when OSU was Oklahoma State A&M. This is a big football day in our house!!!!

I'm seriously considering making my mom and sister join the BB so we can outnumber the OU fans. ;)

Mary Kate, I thought we'd really pull it off! I was busy with the baby and only saw the last quarter, but what a game!!
On a side note, DH said he saw an OSU fan wearing a t-shirt that said "I Love My Nuts". I had to LOL at that one....

[Kahlico]

I have never seen my mom, sister, and BIL all in such bad moods at the same time. I was sincerely scared to walk into my mom's living room yesterday.

Ugh.

Poor Pokes :(

[Melman]

Ok...I couldn't even glance toward this thread after last week's football games. Other than the Patriots, I couldn't even BEG one of my favorite teams to win. I think it's time to bring this thread back to the surface after this weekend though.

:D :D :D Clemson beat FSU! :D :D :D Unbelievable! Amazing! Miraculous!!

On the pro side of things, YEAH!!! The Panthers won again!! It definitely adds an element of surprise and wonder to my favorite Charlotte radio station most Monday mornings this season. :D

[Laura]

Okay, I know we are only 2-7, but GO CHARGERS. I know Doug has been up and down over the years, but he does seem to have that "winner mentality." All you Packer fans can thank me later for us kicking the Vikings butts. :D :p

[jjcokc]

GO SOONERS!!!!!!
Okay, so the score was getting ridiculous, but when you are letting everyone play who isn't red-shirted and the Aggies still can't score, what do you do? I feel for the Baylor Bears. Texas A&M beat them by over 20 points. We are getting closer to New Orleans!!!

Ohio State took a knee on the 5 yard line with 1:20 to play on first down. *shrug* I love Jim Tressel. Classy coach. Could've run the score up against Michigan State, but he didn't. Go Bucks.

[jjcokc]

That's what Bob Stoops had the second string quarterback do on the 8 yd ln instead of score. Jason White only played the first half of the game because the score was already so high. But it doesn't seem fair to tell your second and third string not to play their best when they haven't had a chance to play all year. I doubt Jason White will play all of the second quarter against Baylor.

Or the 2nd quarter. That could get really ugly.

OU quit passing the ball 5 plays into the 3rd quarter, and instead just handed it off. If A&M's defense can't stop the backups, what can you do? You really can't tell them to not play.

That would be 63 points, to be exact, thank you very much. ;)

Hey, EVERY POINT we've scored this season counts!! :rolleyes:

Had to add my "Thank you Laura!!!!!!!!!!"

I am decked out in green and gold ready for the game tonight!

And now, a special poem....

A wedge of cheddar
Protects us better
When the weather hits the Tundra

And our tailgate Sundays
Will go til Monday
And for sure be so much fun-a

With brats and beer
Cheese and crackers
In all the cold
There's faith we hold
To stand tall, strong and proud

And always cheer real extra loud
For our



GREEN BAY PACKERS!!!

[Holly in KC]

Nine and "O"!!!

GO CHIEFS!!!

[badunnin]

Erin that poem is magnificent! :D Can I get water out of the bubbler as well? OK, that's a regionalism, but still!

[linsleyd]

I'm sorry I have to say it YAY EAGLES!

That was such a great game last night with both teams screwing up and still trying their hardest. (I'm a closet fan of Brett's, shhhh... what a hottie!):D

[Minky]

Oh, Linsley:) I knew you'd be happy! It was just terrible watching Brett and Ahman Green lose the ball over and over. And we were so close to catching the Vikings:(

[linsleyd]

I know! Green Bay is my second team and it sucked to watch the ball just fall out of Brett's hand over and over. They are consistently a great team!

[KristinK]

Originally posted by linsleyd

Not last night, at least! GO BIRDS!

Linsley, did you watch the whole game? I can't stay up that late! :( I had to catch the second half highlights on SportsRise this morning. It would have been much better watching that last-second touchdown last night though! :D

[linsleyd]

i admit it, i didn't stay up that late. I went to bed around 11:30, which is super late for me as it is. I was going to go to the bar with DH but I had no desire to drink last night and hang out in smoke last night. I am rather sad I missed the end of the game!

[ErinM]

I was there....*sob*...til the bitter end....*sob**hic*:(


Anybody as intrigued as I was about the two guys and the pitchfork in the sauerkraut???

Y'know, Bethany, I've personally never called it a water bubbler. The Catholic school I went to always called it a water fountain, from what I remember, so that's what I call it!

Minky...just you wait. Maybe the Vikes'll choke again this year. It always seems to happen without fail...

[rinsav]

Me too, I was up 'til the end (DH and friend were over screaming at the tv so that pretty much kept me up too:p ). Yay Eagles! I have to say that I'm a closet Brett fan too. Did you see his tackle last night and his block the week before? What other QBs do that?! Then, I love how he was on the sidelines trying to rile up the crowd when their defense was on the field. He's an all around great player.
