Speaking of Oregon, what ever happened to this monstrosity?

 

[The Outsider]

Holy shit, those Oregon band uniforms can't be real.

Speaking of football-related events: You already know how this is going to end, and it's still awesome.

*man tear*

 

[Aesius]

Only about a month and a half now until Derek Dooley is fired.

 

[MightyHealthy]

So does anybody think Notre Dame makes it to the Top 8?

It's looking extremely probable right now.

 

[Affeinvasion]

Considering people like this vote in the AP?

Voter from Baton Rouge, LA...yes Washington is rated higher than ND here

Seems pretty reasonable to me.

 

[SerArthurDayne]

I like it with the berets better.

Band uniforms with capes are far, far worse.

Can we at least agree that Texas has the fugliest band uniforms in existence? I sure hope so.

Yes. But Texas!

Also, everyone knows that Oregon had the best band uniforms ever.

Or No. Damn that's bad.

Pretty sure they made the switch after the 2009 game @ Zona, gotta protect yourself from projectiles.

Spurrier swaggin.

Who do UT fans want to replace him with?

 

[MightyHealthy]

They look like contestants on some outdoor obstacle course game show that incorporates elements of quick recall.

Someone that has at least demonstrated he is capable of winning. The go to name will be Gruden (lol), realistic choices will be coaches that have been successful somewhere or a proven OC/DC that has been a part of a championship team ( as long as it isn't Kirby Smart).

 

[MightyHealthy]

"The Mountaineers scored more than 34 points twice last season in the Big East. They've already hung 70 on last year's 3rd place team, and they put 48 on the board tonight in Austin."

CoachCraig Bohl at NDSU; started coaching at the start of NDSU's transition to DI-AA, went 10-1 (11 game regular seasons) during the probation period, went 3-8 in 2009 but rebuilt and won the national championship in 2011 and is currently ranked #1 in FCS. Record since taking over in 2003 80-31. Was DC at Nebraska before going to NDSU.

Missing, presumed dead.

And hey, the Oregon band hasn't worn those ridiculous helmets in at least three years. AT LEAST.

 

[SerArthurDayne]

Big XII defense. I think their offense will sputter out once or twice, they better hope it isn't against one of the better teams. Still, not a bad start.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Oh boy...I think Gus Johnson might be doing the UW USC game :O

 

[Quake1028]

I see some of our annual lifelongs are making their brief appearances. BTW, where are Meier, Los Daddie and Striker?

 

[SerArthurDayne]

Oh boy...I think Gus Johnson might be doing the UW USC game :O

Will he make you excited about USC trampling on your soul?

 

[cdyhybrid]

USC, not USCe.

I saw Meier post last night, I think he was at the Texas game though.

Good.

Ducks shouldn't have abs.

That big W does stand for Washington, right? Then it matters not. Good luck, though. As long as USC beats ND they can lose every other game without complaint.

Yeah, Yaboosh and Meier popped in. Not sure about LosDaddie or Striker, but I don't think any of them would be shocked enough by a disappointing loss to run away. And I may just have forgotten.

 

[squicken]

@Mengus22: Virginia Tech and Cal both received votes in the initial Harris Poll. Seriously.

The Gaffers in the furry thread beg to differ.

We've beaten them 2 of the last 3 years and we're at home. We have a decent shot.

 

[Sirpopopop]

NJ Football pretty strong this year.

Both NJ teams are doing pretty well.

Rutgers & Duke!

[ConfusingJazz]

Well that sucked. Luckily I was at Oktoberfest and quickly drank my problems away.

 

[zyxwvu4321]

RU has definitely looked fierce this year.

Duke will be taking some losses in the future, but I think they're going bowling, absolutely.

And here I thought the coaches just liked us more. Seriously

 

[Piggus]

Holy shit, those Oregon band uniforms can't be real.

I hate our god damn band. They do the national anthem pretty well and that's it. That Ohio State band video posted earlier makes me hate our band even more and takes me back to the 2010 Rose Bowl where Ohio State's band was fucking amazing and ours was just as shitty as always.

Don't worry, as long as Stanford is in the Pac 12 you won't have the worst band in the conference!

 

[Schmitty]

This is awesome.

Ohio state band performs video game music (halo, zelda, tetris, pac-man, and others)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAzzbrFgcUw

First time I ever watched a full 10 min youtube video

 

[Affeinvasion]

The Notre Dame band played a Back to the Future themed half-time show at Soldier Field which included them forming the DeLorean and moving across the field. They then did a song with some of the members of Chicago. So if you were over thirty it was a great show.

 

[Piggus]

Don't worry, as long as Stanford is in the Pac 12 you won't have the worst band in the conference!

I actually kind of admire Stanford's "casual" style for the band.

Ours is more like "ok, since Nike doesn't make band uniforms then we're all going to dress up as golfers instead."

 

[Cyan]

I actually kind of admire Stanford's "casual" style for the band.

Can't march, can't play instruments, can't even be funny very well?

No problem! Just pretend you're sucking on purpose!

 

[Piggus]

It's brilliant. They suck but at least it's kind of amusing. Ours sucks just because they, well, suck. lol

Ours played "We Built This City" while girls twirled around (and frequently dropped) fake rifles. Ugh.

 

[cdyhybrid]

So if you were over thirty it was a great show.

So your entire fanbase enjoyed it?

 

[ChiTownBuffalo]

I'm pretty sure Colorado has a band.

I dunno, but I bet they are better than our football team. I am really concerned that we are turning into a netball school. Damn C-Unit.

 

[Quake1028]

We have a band, but much like our attendance it seems like it has 30 people in it.

 

[Guileless]

Hey you guys, any good games this weekend?

 

[SerArthurDayne]

You can't hate lesser talent for being lesser talent.

Also, I was going to say at least they aren't Stanford, but it looks like this thread already wen there.

Spiking it on a band player's head always gets me every time.

I don't know. Wait for the next thread when Bluemax feels like it or check ESPN. Gators play Vandy, in case you were wondering, land shark.

Childish antics I can live with, but being on the field? What are they, Utah fans?
