Three Classic Football Rivalries We Won’t See in 2012

Sun, 26 Aug 2012 20:08:07 +0000

With the Missouri Tigers and Texas A&M Aggies leaving the Big 12 for the SEC and the West Virginia Mountaineers from the Big East to the Big 12, college football is losing a few annual games that date back to the late 19th century. Of course these teams had many rivalries within their old conferences but these are the highlights:

1. Border War (Kansas vs. Missouri) – Believe it or not, these two neighboring states still harbor some ill will between the two that dates back to the American Civil War. The schools’ mascots Jayhawks and Tigers were both derived from the Civil War but that story is another blog. The first meeting was in 1891 with Kansas coming out victorious 22-10. The series was the second-most-played rivalry in major-college football history behind Minnesota-Wisconsin (yawn). Mizzou leads the series 57-54-9.
2. Lone Star Showdown (Texas Longhorns vs. Texas A&M) Beginning in 1894, the state of Texas’ two oldest public universities have had a long history of good old-fashion hate. From 1910 to 1940 there was only one instance of a team winning the rivalry game in consecutive seasons. Texas holds an overall 76-37-5 lead with many wins coming from 1940 to 1974 when A&M only won thrice and one tie. Legendary coach Darrell Royal was at the helm for most of those wins. Since then it has been pretty even. Each team had won three of the last six meetings.
3. Backyard Brawl (Pitt Panthers vs. West Virginia Mountaineers) This game is so named because of the proximity of the two campuses. The two cities of Pittsburgh and Morgantown are linked by I-79 with around 75 miles between them. They have played 104 times since 1895 with Pitt hanging on to a 60-41-3 lead but WVU has won the last three meetings.

The NAME GAME: 2013 College Football Recruiting

What are the odds of two guys with the exact same name being a college football recruit in the same year? If the name is “James Johnson” the odds are probably not too long. But what if the name is an odd one like Cole Mazza?

Bridesmaids 2011: The Envelope, Please!

Thu, 15 Dec 2011 16:32:38 +0000

(From left to right: Miami, WKU, Ball State)

When it came down to the end, there were 72 bowl eligible schools for 70 spots. AND THE LOSERS ARE: WESTERN KENTUCKY and BALL STATE!

WKU who finished 7-5 and 7-1 in the Sun Belt was denied a bowl-game invitation despite winning six of their last seven games (the loss was to #1 LSU).

Ball State was 6-6. There was not much chance they would beat out BCS teams with similar records.

Miami (Fla.) finished 6-6 but are sitting out of the bowl season as a self-imposed post-season ban due to the impending hammer that will be coming down from the NCAA.

Numerology: Florida State with Repeat Scores in a Pair of Back-to-Back Games

Thu, 17 Nov 2011 19:59:05 +0000

In Las Vegas, you can bet on almost anything: points scored, who wins the coin flip, halftime score, number of first downs…
I wonder what the odds would be that the Florida State Seminoles would have identical final scores in back-to-back games, not once but twice:

Sat, Sept 24   @ Clemson   L 35-30
Sat, Oct 8   @ Wake Forest   L 35-30
Sat, Oct 15   @ Duke      W 41-16
Sat, Oct 22   vs Maryland   W 41-16

School	W	L	Status

Okl State	10	0	Strong; Elimination game Dec. 3 (Oklahoma)
Alabama	9	1	Close loss to LSU but could end up back in the big game
Oregon	9	1	Will have to run the table and get some help; USC up next
Oklahoma	8	1	Will have to run the table and get some; Okl St 12/3
Arkansas	9	1	Will have to run the table and get A LOT of help; LSU left to play

Houston	10	0	Eliminated; Sorry, it ain’t gonna happen
South Carolina	8	2	Lattimore is done and so are the Gamecocks
Nebraska	8	2	Lose at home to Northwestern? Yeah, that’ll do it

2011 NCAA College Football Elimination – Week 8

Tue, 18 Oct 2011 16:05:13 +0000

Any team with 3 or more losses is long gone. New to this group are Florida & Tennessee.

It is not out of the question that a 2 loss team can win a National Championship (LSU in 2007) but it is farfetched. Auburn, Texas, Texas Tech, Arizona State, Baylor, Iowa

School	W	L	Status
Alabama	7	0	Strong; Elimination game Nov. 5 (LSU)
LSU	7	0	Strong; Elimination game Nov. 5 (Bama)
Oklahoma	6	0	Strong; Elimination game Dec. 3 (Okl St)
Okl State	6	0	Strong; Elimination game Dec. 3 (Okl); @Texas Oct 15
Wisconsin	6	0	Mediocre schedule, might need some help
Stanford	6	0	Mediocre schedule, might need some help
Clemson	7	0	Surprise team; Tough games: UNC (Oct. 22) at Ga Tech (Oct. 29)
Boise State	6	0	Weak schedule hurts them
Kansas State	6	0	It’s only a matter of time.
Oregon	5	1	Will have to run the table and get some help
Virginia Tech	6	1	Will have to run the table and get some help
Arkansas	5	1	Will have to run the table and get A LOT of help
Nebraska	5	1	Will have to run the table and get A LOT of help
Michigan State	5	1	Will have to run the table and get A LOT of help

Rutgers	5	1	It’s only a matter of time.
Michigan	5	1	Will have to run the table and get A LOT of help
Southern Cal	5	1	It’s only a matter of time.
Illinois	6	1	Will have to run the table and get A LOT of help
Georgia Tech	5	1	Losing to a weak Maryland team probably kills their chances
Houston	6	0	Eliminated; Sorry, it ain’t gonna happen
Auburn	5	2	Eliminated
Texas	4	2	Eliminated
Texas Tech	4	2	Eliminated
Arizona State	5	2	Eliminated

2011 SEC Wrap-Up, Week 7

Mon, 17 Oct 2011 19:57:20 +0000

Alabama: Looking good. Real good.

Auburn: Ugly.

Florida: They still have yet to recover from the thrashing the Tide gave them in 2009 (and 2010 and 2011), made Tebow cry and made Urban have a nervous breakdown.

Georgia: Look at their record and they are not bad. Watch them play a game and they do look bad.

LSU: If I am coaching this team, Jordan Jefferson only plays in garbage time or in case of a Lee injury.

Ole Miss: Do ya’ll remember how excited the Ole Miss fans were when they hired Nutt? He has set the program back another 10 years.

Mississippi State: I am convinced that nobody can win big here. The state doesn’t have the recruits and what you do have you split with Ole Miss. It has to be impossible to convince someone from out of the area to come to Starkville. Mullen should start job hunting.

South Carolina: Spurrier is getting a big helping of karma. Connor Shaw has a big game and he dumps Stephen Garcia. Now it looks like Shaw is just as bad. Additionally, he does not develop any other running backs and now it’s trial by fire.

Tennessee: Vols fans are getting impatient? Already? They need to realize that is going to take some time to undo the mess that Fat Boy and Lame Kitten left in their wakes.

Vanderbilt: It must be sad to think this is what they consider good.

* Arkansas & Kentucky did not play.
