College Football Friday Afternoon Thread: Callahan, Franchione Get One Last Hurrah

more posts by author

Another weekday of just sitting around and watching uncompetitive football. Aren't holidays great? Who knows we could be in for some quality football today and the 5-6 Bowl could be very competitive. Sadly, a bowl bid is on the line when the Buffaloes and Cornhuskers hook up. For Tom Osborne's sake, I hope Colorado just takes Nebraska out of their misery and can move on tomorrow morning with Bill Callahan is fired. Today's likely the last regular season hurrah for Dennis Franchione. A day of goodbyes in college football. Enjoy.

Nebraska at Colorado - 12 ABC

Arkansas at #1 LSU - 2:30 CBS

#13 Texas at Texas AM&M - 3:30 ABC

I'll have a different thread up for tonight's big Boise State-Hawaii game, but if you're watching this afternoon's action feel free to discuss it here.

0	Cartman introducing the Buffaloes might be the ABC/ESPN lineup highlight of the year

0	This Nebraska-Colorado game is almost comedic. Neither team looks all that good on either side of the ball, and it gave me a little chuckle when I saw that the winner of this game becomes bowl eligible.

Isn't that sad. Likely to play in the Insight Bowl which is where MSU will probably play. I can honestly say, and I don't think this is being a homer, that the Spartans will beat the up soundly.

0	666 yards offense in the first half. Here's an idea: play defense.

I would have been attending the UH-Boise State game this afternoon, but when someone wanted $350 for my tickets, it was too good to pass up. Especially considering: 1) That's about how much I paid for the entire pair of season tickets 2) The game is on TV anyway

0	All of a sudden, Colorado looks like they really wanna go bowling. Where did all that defense just come from?

0	I can't decide if this game is exciting or pathetic.

0	I still can't believe Oklahoma lost to Colorado and could only muster 21 points.

0	So after this display, I am thinking Nebraska might want to think about getting a new head coach and defensive coordinator.

0	First off, Dick sucks and secondly, McFadden lit that guy up on that block like MJD lit up "Lights Out" last week.

11/23/07

0	Wow no McFadden in the game to go for 2 in 3rd OT and they still get it.
