  1. So excited for this game!! Lets hope its a good defemsive battle for a change.

    This was the first year i was into ncaa football. It was great. The more football the better.

    Lsu is louisiana state university right? That means there home...man the crowd will be crazy tonight.

    Correct, LSU is Louisiana State. I saw some pictures of the French Quarter last night, and it looked crazier than when the Saints won the super bowl.. I think it'll be higher scoring than the last one, and i'm calling a 17-14 Alabama win even though I don't really like either team.. The more you follow College ball the more you'll like it, it's great for scouting players for the upcoming drafts, and former alumni treat their schools like their family see these videos as examples :

    heck, even Anthony Reddick who plays for the BC Lions threw up "The U" a few times this season http://www.procanes.com/files/category-anthony-reddick.html

    My favorite quote to do with my 'Canes is "The U on the helmet stands for Unity, not University"

  2. Barkley could very well be better than Landry Jones, yes. But waiting until next year gives Matt the advantage of scarcity at his position. As it was, I'd seen draft projections picking Barkley as high as a top 5 pick, however, I think the emergence of Robert Griffin probably drops Barkley a little bit. Next year, Barkley will be a good candidate to go first overall, especially if he has a good season and USC makes a BCS bowl, in no small part because the QB field looks to be thinner at this point.

    To go off on an NFL tangent for a bit, it'll be interesting in the last couple of weeks of the NFL season to see how the draft order shakes out. The Colts clearly covet Andrew Luck (who wouldn't, the guy is a gem), and things were looking just fine for them to get him until they...gasp...started winning games. Fact is, no team steps on the field trying to lose. Just try explaining to Curtis Painter or Dan Orlovsky, for instance, that you'd like them to heave up a few picks so the team can draft a replacement for them and run them out of town. However, winning a couple of late season meaningless games to lose draft positioning really does very little for the Colts at this point. However, they also know that the Rams won't be drafting a quarterback, as they have Sam Bradford to whom they clearly hitched the wagons for the present (get it...the wagons..?) So the Rams are obviously going to look to trade the pick, and the Colts, as the number 2 selector, will probably be able to present an attractive package for moving up one spot. However, the Rams are going to fleece them for it. The Vikings, Browns, Bucs, Skins and Dolphins are also going to have very marketable picks however, and while I think the Vikings will stand pat with Ponder, and the Buccaneers probably are comfortable with Freeman and don't use their pick on a QB, all those other teams will want to upgrade, and the Skins and Dolphins will be particularly desperate and may drive up the bidding a little bit. The Colts have to be praying the Rams can beat the 49ers.

    haha nice reference to Sam Bradford and the Oklahoma schooner there :P Yeah, i'd say you're pretty spot on with everything again. It's gonna be really interesting to see how this last week pans out with everything

  3. Yeah, I had such high hopes for that game, but it turned out to be unwatchable. Such is the fate of a top team playing in a non-AQ conference. I looked into the qualifications for a BCS bowl and still don't get why Boise State wasn't offered a bid. To me one of the bigger garbage elements is that for them, missing the BCS means a trip all the way down to the pre-Christmas bowls. I think one of the bigger non-BCS bowls whose automatic tie-in got a BCS bid should've selected them, because the Sun Devils were really no match for the Broncos and made for basically a throwaway bowl with an elite team in it.

    Barkley is probably thinking he'll play his way up to being one of the top QB's next year. He'd already probably have been in the top 5 or so at the position, behind Luck, Griffin and maybe the Sooners' Landry Jones. But next year, he'll probably be projected as the #1 QB overall, plus he will have the chance to compete for the National Championship, for which the Trojans will be a contender (not to mention that he will get to graduate, and he's a pretty good student). He probably doesn't want the only bowl he ever played in to be the Emerald Bowl. As long as he doesn't get hurt, this could be a very good decision for him.

    Landry put up gaudy numbers, but I think Barkley is and will be better. Personally, I hate USC and USC QB's (ie Sanchez,Leinart,Palmer,John David Booty) but I think he's going to be the one to break the mold. Bray's the only other really good QB prospect for next year and the Vols football program has just fallen apart. You're bang on every point you keyed on, and I think it will make his stock rise.

  4. Boise dominated today.. it goes to show how screwed up the bcs is. There's no way a top 10 team should be playing before christmas, i'm not a Boise fan but come on clearly something's wrong here.

    On another note; I called Barkley staying when their season ended, however I thought Kalil would stay if he decided to stay. I guess it makes sense since there's 3 or so tackles projected to go top 10 next year, but giving up a shot at a potential BCS Championship is tough.

  5. Pretty decent day of college football..

    I can't really say im surprised that Houston lost, they haven't even faced anyone in the top 50 all year, However I still had them winning. I had Houston,LSU, Baylor, OkSt, Wisconsin & Clemson winning today in the games that really mattered. Rose Bowl should be a great game, I'm really hoping that OkSt's convincing win will help them leapfrog 'Bama. I don't see it happening but there's always that outside chance.

    Talking about Graham Harrell, I really like the guy. He's out 3rd string qb and from what i've seen him in pre-season and practice, I think he's a more than capable backup and better than most backups in the NFL. I Still remember seeing highlights from their bowl game against Minnesota a few years ago when he led a 31 point 4th quarter comeback to force OT then win in OT.

  6. Don't get me wrong, I think Alabama and LSU are the two teams that deserve to go. I just don't really look forward to the game.

    I also think your predictions are fairly sound, though I would give the Ducks a good shot in the Rose. However, LaMichael James did get hurt last week in the Civil War game, and I wasn't sure how severe it was or what the prognosis is, but if he can't go, that would be a significant loss. I'm sure he'll be better by New Years though.

    If I had told you at the beginning of the year that Michigan would be going to a BCS bowl, you probably would've laughed me right out of this forum.

    Thats where everyone's different I guess, I personally enjoyed the 9-6 game.. I enjoy football and defense is a huge aspect of the game. I would too, but Wisconsin's 2 losses have come on last second hail mary's esentially. I believe he'll play, but you can tell his arm isn't 100% even after the earlier injury in the season. I laughed when I heard people predicting it as well, Denard is so hit or miss though. He's gotten really confused and lost against teams with a heavy pass rush, and if they play Houston Michigan's D just needs to show up for 1/2 the game and they should win.

  7. I'm in on the whole anti-SEC thing. Very sick of seeing those defensive battles every year, and very sick of the smugness of people in the south when they go on and on about how good their conference is. Who really wants a 9-6 National Championship again. However, I do think it's going to happen. I think the last time I was pulling for an SEC team of any sort was the year the Gators won as an underdog against Ohio State with their trick offence. Tebow was Chris Leak's backup.

    I would have loved to see Oklahoma State vs Oregon in the Final. That would be an unbelievable offensive tilt, we'd have been on the edge of our seats all game.

    I'm not an SEC fan by any means, but throw out the polling and ranking system for a minute. The national championship should be the 2 best teams in the country plain and simple, and this year LSU & 'Bama are far and away better than anybody else.

    Being a Die Hard Hurricanes fan, these past 8 or so years have been pretty damn rough.. the embarassing loss to ND last year stung and with the self-imposed bowl ban this year,there's really nothing else to do except enjoy the madness in cheering against Nebraska,ND,Florida,FSU & Ohio St.. If Wisconsin ends up in the Rose Bowl like I think they will, I may go down and watch that in Pasadena because i'd have a bunch of friends coming over from Wisconsin to watch it.

    Here's how I see it shaking down;

    Rose Bowl : Wisconsin vs Oregon [badgers Win]

    Fiesta Bowl : Ok. St vs Stanford [Cowboys Win]

    Orange Bowl : Virginia Tech vs WVU [Hokies Win]

    Sugar Bowl : Houson vs Michigan [Wolverines Win]

    National Championship : LSU vs Bama [LSU Win Again]

  8. Lol, no problem. We should play together some time. Feel free to invite me if I'm not already in a party.

    That reminds me, I played with WingsOfRedemption yesterday to anyone that knows who he is. Man does he ever take the game seriously, lol.

    He's a douche,in his video's he even says he hates his subscribers.I had him on my friend's list but I couldnt stand the constant yelling and commands

  9. Pointless but,I had a 5 v 1 sniper clutch bomb defuse on karachi earlier.

    I was on the roof near the bombsite by the bus station and the cafe,I was getting shot at so I turned around saw a guy and got a lucky no-scope,another guy climbed up the ladder,brought out akimbo usp's to get him. Got a quickscope on a guy running towards the bomb site then they planted the bomb.Got another quickscope of a guy getting up from planting the bomb.Attempted a 360 throwing knife kill which failed miserabely,found the guy on the ground prone t-bagged him then no-scoped him from behind,and then got the bomb defuse =)

  10. I'm currently level 70 - 2nd Prestige. I'm a good player, always top 3 and K/D of 1.25 (first COD game though).

    I want a nuke so bad. I've been trying so hard. Watching videos on YouTube though, it says that if you prestige, it's extremly difficult to get a nuke. So I created a new psn, started fresh. I'm currently a level 21 and yesterday I was in a ground war game and every single person was a 2nd prestige or higher..WTF!

    It's not that hard to get a nuke =/ once you get your harrier you're basically guaranteed one.After finally getting the emblem,I stopped setting it as a killstreak because it made me play differently.The game started to lose appeal to me,So i changed my killstreaks to UAV,Counter-UAV,and Precision Airstrike (more to help my team then me) and I've found it really fun.Going around with a sniper trying to do neat stuff is always really fun.

  11. Hmmm... that gets me a bit torn on the two then. I don't see many people using heartbeat censors very often, but inaudible footsteps would be nice. Scrambler also delays claymores though, and it's saved me from them countless times.

    Just a heads up,ninja pro only reduces the footsteps by 0.4x making them inaudible unless you're using a gaming headset.

    Yup, it's the only thing that really benefits snipers.

    For team death,yes for Search & Destroy no. I don't use any other perk other than Ninja for search just having quiet footsteps and heartbeat immunity is nice

  12. I have 7 classes but I don't really use them all,and I just prestiged but this is what I use once I unlock it.[All Perks are "Pro"]

    Search - Intervention FMJ w/ Akimbo Magnums Sleight of Hand,Stopping Power,Ninja (90% of the time)[Throwing Knife,Stun]

    Search 2 - UMP Silencer w/ Magnum Tac Knife Marathon,Lightweight,Ninja [Claymore,Stun]

    Domination - Tar 21 Silencer w/ Spas-12 Grip Scavenger,Stopping Power,Ninja [Claymore,Stun]

    Free For All - Scar-H Extended Mags w/ Spas-12 Grip Scavenger,Stopping Power,Ninja [Claymore,Stun]

    Chopper Down - Aug HBAR Grip w/ Stinger Sleight of Hand,Cold Blooded,Ninja

    everything else is just random stuff I make
