Title: College Football 2004-2005
Post by: Matt on July 19, 2004, 04:41 PM
Alright, I'm almost thirty games into NCAA Football 2005, and we're just a little more than a month away from the kickoff of the new season, so it is with great pleasure that I bring you the official JD College Football 2004-2005 thread.

While we're all friends here at JD, I'd like to take this time to remind everyone that yes, just like last year (and the year before) (and the year before that) (and even the year before that, too), Texas still sucks.

Sorry, Slave_531.

Go Sooners.

For the first time ever I am really super excited for this year's season...

(http://www.gophersports.com/images/Logos/RunningGoldyF.jpg)

The Mighty Minnesota Golden Gophers have cracked the Top 10 in many PreSeason rankings.  Yeah that's right, you're reading that right...the Top 10.

If they had not blown the game against Michigan last year I really think they would have ended up 12-1 and played USC in the Rose Bowl.  Not sure if they would have won but they will be just as good this year, with a powerful rushing game

Might this be the return of a Major College Powerhouse to Minnesota...a tradition that has been dead for almost 45 years?  I sure hope so, the U during my days there were a joke beyond belief... 4-7, 3-8, 4-7, 4-7.

Ah, it is nearly football season isn't it? I'd like to remind all of you that the best team in history of the game rests on the Central South Carolina plain... the Cocks, yes that's right the South Carolina Gamecocks.

(http://www.sporttrucksspecialty.com/accessories/exterior/covers/college/10102.jpg)

The South Carolina Gamecocks really have but one mission in the entire season, and that is to crush the Orange Demons to the northwest...the Clemson Tigers. Maybe you've heard of this little rivalry, one that's been around for nearly a century. In South Carolina, you're either Garnet or Orange.

(http://images.andale.com/f2/120/117/14297619/click2enlarge/1080057737134_CLEMSON_TIGERS_1.jpg)

In short, go Carolina!

We've had our share of problems since 1999, but our trust in coach Lou Holts is still strong.

I beleive that our first game this year is against:  Vanderbilt in Nashville, Tenn. on 9/04/2004

I can't wait!

I've got two teams, one Division 1A and one Division 1AA  which represent my two schools:

(http://espn.starwave.com/i/ncaa/clubhouses/logos/38.gif)

I have a bad feeling about this year, especially if Jeremy Bloom isn't allowed to play.  I can't believe that someone's head didn't roll during all this crap of the last few months... I'm still debating about whether to get tickets this year or not. The only games I really want to watch are Texas, Kansas St. and Colorado St.,  even though those may all be fairly lopsided results.

(http://espn.starwave.com/i/ncaa/clubhouses/logos/2168.gif)

Coming off a disappointing 9-2 year where we didn't win the Pioneer League for only the second time in the last 7 years. Hopefully, we can go 9-1 and win the league, but I don't think we stand much of a chance at Yale this year. (UD is a non-scholarship team; Yale is the only scholarship team we play this year). Yeah, I know that a thread about college football isn't complete until the Pioneer League is discussed.  ;)

It's make or break time for Zook.  He's done a great job recruiting and if he can't get the Gators back into the hunt this year - he's got no more excuses as to why.

It's also time to see what Chris Leak is made of.

"September 20, 2003

Oklahoma routs UCLA

On a record setting day, the University of Oklahoma Sooners rolled over the UCLA Bruins by a score of 59-24. The record in question was shattered by cornerback/punt returner Antonio Perkins as he ripped off not one, not two, but three touchdowns (74, 84, and 65 yards) off of seven punt returns for the Sooners (4-0).

As if that wasn't enough, Perkins also shattered the punt return yardage record with 277 return yards. The record was last set in 1971 by BYU's Golden Richards against North Texas with 219 punt return yards.

Coupled with Jason White's (17 of 25 for 243 yards) two touchdown passes and Renaldo Works two touchdown runs, it was a long day for the Bruins, who were last beaten by a number one ranked OU team in 1986 by a score of 38-3. Coincidentally, a 35 point margin in each game."

Expect more of the same this year, Sweater Boy.

Well, atleast your team aren't called the Cocks.

We do this thing at our games where once side of the stadium says 'Game' and the other side says: 'Cocks!' Suffice to say, it's more than enough to make someone who isn't familiar with USC to laugh.

I think it's cool that "cocks" isn't on the banned list.

Cocks.

(True story:  In high school, I had a buddy who almost went to South Carolina on a swimming scholarship primarily because of their nickname.  I think he bought a Gamecocks hat, too.)

LOL! That reminds me of a game at UD my Junior year. We were winning a game  by a ton of points and we happened to be playing Morehead St. the following week for the lead in the conference. Needless to say, chants of "We want Morehead!" echoed from the student section.  ;D

Very good game.  

I wish I could go this year but I moved to Dallas after graduating last year.  Odds of me getting to a Gators game (let alone that one) are slim to none.  I haven't seen their schedule yet but if they come near here I might try to make it.

Creepy...my Senior year of high school after having been dumped two straight years by Moorhead High in the Section Finals in Basketball the High School team was trouncing Saint Cloud Tech and chants of "We Want Moorhead, We Want Moorhead" also erupted from the Student Section.

Too funny ;D

Should be an interesting year here in Husker land, as we move from the power running game over to a West Coast Offense.  Hard to judge how good it will be, hopefully the fans here will give it some time...we might struggle a little bit at first.  Schedule isn't terrible though, and a 9-3 season isn't out of the question.  Maybe better.  We'll see how it all comes together, but there's quite a bit of excitement here in Lincoln with all the changes.  I've been wanting to pick up NCAA 2005 as well, I hear it is pretty good.  I haven't bought that game for a couple of years now, but used to be able to play it for hours on end back in the PS1 days.  Good luck to everyone's teams in the upcoming seasons...not too far off now.  Go Big Red :)

If that happens, Zook will be on his way out.  Like I mentioned earlier, this is tupposed to be the year that his recruiting classes have matured enough to become a solid team and get back into the national title hunt.  If they fall flat again - look for Return of Spurrier rumors to heat up...

It's more or less the same for Holtz this year, last years defeat to Clemson was PATHETIC! We lost like 77-15 to our biggest rivals, and I got to hear about it for weeks on end.
Though, Holtz may or may not stay around one more season if the team dosen't do to well. I suppose it all has to do with his popularity, and his health. He isn't a young man by any stretch of the imagination.

Ah yes, by looking at the schedule,  I can firmly believe that my Texas Tech Red Raiders will have high hopes, win 7 and be in a Pre-New Years Eve Bowl in either Shreveport or Houston.  And I can live with that. Heck we can probably be 4-0 going into the OU game.  Probably have a QB that throws for more yards than most teams travel and gets ZERO Heisman consideration.

I see we're hanging just outside the top 25 (Nebraska), but that's not surprising.  Major upheaval and offensive revamp this offseason, so its hard to predict how good the team will be.  Should be an interesting year though.  No surprise with USC at the top of the heap to start things off.

It is also the first time that the Big XII has had so few teams in the Top 25.  Usually 5 or 6 are in the pre-season poll and this year it is just 4.

And what 5 coaches/writers thought Texas A&M should be in the top 25?  Dennis Franchione and who????????Maybe he a Paterno made a pact since Penn State's 3-9 team got votes too.

I think the Grandaddy of them all is certainly in the picture

It may be a short one for Dorrell.  At least now I can talk some smack to most of my buddies who are UCLA fans.  My grandfather is a huge Bruins fan (he used to live so close to the Rose Bowl that he'd walk to the games) but I root for SC because my dad went there and most of my family, on both sides, is from Nebraska so the Huskers get love too.

Sep 11 vs Mississippi 9:00 PM
Sep 18 vs Western Carolina 7:00 PM

Nov 6 vs Mississippi St. TBA
Nov 13 at LSU TBA
Nov 20 vs Auburn TBA

I'm gonna predict a fairly optimistic 8-3 season, expecting to Alabama to lose to Kentucky, Tennessee, and LSU. Realistically Alabama will probably be more around 6-5, as the defense is crap this season and it's highly possible the Tide will not be able to beat Auburn.  :-\ *Fingers crossed for 8-3!*

Carolina's schedule:

Sept. 18 South Florida- Win, who's ever heard of them anyway? Besides we need a victory after Georgia

Sept. 25 Troy State- Again I ask who? Since I know nothing about this program, I'll call it a win.

Oct. 2 at Alabama- Win, but it'll be a good game.
 
Oct. 9 Mississippi- Loss, I just have a feeling we're going to lose to them...
 
Oct. 16 at Kentucky- Win, but a near loss I feel
 
Oct. 30 Tennessee- Loss, no question
 
Nov. 6 Arkansas- Win, it's Arkansas for christs sake!
 
Nov. 13 at Florida- Tah! Loss, but if we play like last year then...maybe I'll get a birthday suprise, eh?
 
Nov. 20 at Clemson- Win, send those farmers back to the feilds!


So, that'd mean a 7-4 season this year! Pretty good I think...well for Carolina anyway.

Gophers rolled Colorado State on Saturday night, the best 1-2 punch (Marion Barber III and Lawrence Marony) in the Nation rolled up 300 yards of rushing and go into the Big 10 season 3-0

They should be 5-0 heading to Ann Arbor where they have a big chance of knocking off an over rated Wolverine Squad...IMO they have a chance at the Rose Bowl and the top 10 this year, I think the Big 10 is down and they don't play Purdue or Ohio State, 4 games against Michigan, Michigan St, Wisconsin and Iowa should decide their fate, go 3-1 and they probably will be smelling the Roses...and I would try my damndest to go to the game as well

Funny, here I am thinking you clowns were talking about the "real" USC.  You know - the defending National Champs, ranked #1 in the country...?  I was thinking Brad was hitting the pipe there for a minute.

Anyway, UCLA squeeked by in a nail biter this weekend, over Washington.  Our tiny (5'7"ish) sophmore running back went somewhat crazy - running for 300+ yards and 5 TDs.  Wow.   :o

Maybe these guys (or at least this guy) will be fun to watch this season, afterall...

Quote
...the best 1-2 punch (Marion Barber III and Lawrence Marony) in the Nation rolled up 300 yards of rushing and go into the Big 10 season 3-0

So?  We only needed ONE guy to do that.  Yeah.

Yeah.  And Either one of those guys could also be rushing for 300 yards a game, a testament to how good BOTH of them are, maybe a USC-Minnesota Rose Bowl will happen...I doubt a UCLA-Minnesota one won't be happen ing this year

Unfortunately, although we kicked Carolina's ass, our only quartback was injured and will be out for the remainder of the season. We'll be losing much more than originally predicted. Damn.

Two minutes on the clock, 10 points behind, and its Arkansas ball. UA loss, easy.

Alabama: 48 Utah St.: 17
Alabama: 28 Ole Miss: 7
Alabama: 52 Western Carolina: 0
Alabama: 10 Arkansas: 27

Aabama vs South Carolina
Alabama at Kentucky
Alabama vs Southern Miss
Alabama at Tennessee
Alabama vs Mississippi St.
Alabama at LSU
Alabama vs Auburn


I'll edit the score if it changes, but Arkansas will run the clock out before they risk a turnover.

I hope that our QB can get his act together, otherwise the Arkansas game is going to be close... Interesting note here, our star QB who was put out for the season has had a season-ending injury every season since 7th grade.

Well, they will need two tough victories on the road at Michigan and Wisconsin for that to happen.  I'm looking forward to the Michigan game as we have tickets for that one unless I can trade them for two more Michigan vs. Michigan State game (which is always the best football game-college or pro-for me).

I know...there are four games that worry me, Michigan, Michigan St, Iowa and Wisconsin

They have the best shot in years though of getting through the middle part and having two huge games at the end against a down Iowa and overrated Badger squad...they could very well run the table with the way their Offense is playing right now...or they might lay an egg like the did last year when they blew the Michigan game and that carried over to Michigan St...

It's Iowa that can throw a wrench in to things, that's for sure.  State better be on their toes this weekend or you won't have to worry about them - I liked what I saw in Stanton last week though, so the Spartans just might give the Hawkeye's a run for thier money (and it wouldn't hurt Drew Tate fumbling again a few times ;)).

Man, they get past Michigan and they have a serious, serious shot at the Rose Bowl.  That is one of my lifelong dreams.  Being a New Year's Baby, every year my Birthday is usually spent watching College Football with my family.  How special and neat would it be to mooch off of Colman and go to the Rose Bowl and watch my alma mater in a bowl game that actually matters

Post by: jadesfire on October 3, 2004, 11:00 AM
Well, I'll start with MSU, nice and short=they sucked.  I just knew the Hawkeye's would dominate that game.  Yah, two touchdowns that were ruled non-catches (and good calls I might add) but State just didn't have their act together and deserved the outcome.

Michigan was looking forward to Minnesota in the first half and forgot they needed to get passed Indy.  I knew they'd come out the second half and blow past them after a good ass chewing and I was right. 

I can't WAIT to go to next weeks game.  I doubt I will trade these tickets for the MSU vs. U of M game since I don't care if my kids are coming or not (hey, a Mom's gotta look after herself once in awhile ;)).  I'll be thinking of you Scott and will only find a little comfort if the Wolverine's blow it just because you'd have a great birthday (and pick on Matt at the same time).

'Cocks suck, and so does Alabama - I garauntee the Crimson Tide's coaching staff is completely whiped out after this season. This is ridiculous. The fact that our quarterback(s) suck isn't a big deal - Alabama is a running team, all the QB really needs to do is hand-off.

Bring back Curry... the guy was the best coach we've had since Paul Bryant.

Anyone happen to see the brawl that broke out at the Carolina-Clemson game?
Two Clemson guys were beating the **** out of our quaterback, and because the rivalry is so strong, the entire Carolinas bench poured out into the feild. Then the Clemson bench poured out into the feild. And Carolina kicked the **** out of the Clemson guys. So I suppose that's good...sorta. They very nearly didn't continue the game for it's last 5 mins.


However, we lost to our rivals, 29-7.  >:( and then we're going to a bowl game, so maybe we'll win there.
