Week 12 S.O.C. Capt.Kirk goes Hollywood
« on: November 15, 2025, 07:09:50 AM »
Mornin' all running out 1st thing to get some Rogue Ale if there's any still on the shelves.Thanx for the heads up Bwarb

No. 18 Michigan @ Northwestern(Wrigley Field), 12:00 FOX The potential for M* is there but the execution/experience during plays has been erratic & unpredictable. And their 2 losses have been on the road but the week off should help. M*which moved up in the College Football Rankings from a debut at No. 21 to No.18. Fun fact: Northwestern has never won at Wrigley & M* has won 13 of the last 14 games between the two

No.21 Iowa at No.17 USC, 3:30 BTN How will Iowa bounce back from its most deflating loss yet of the 2025 season? We’ll see. But consider this fanciful stat: The last 10 times that the Hawkeyes lost a regular-season game, they bounced back with a victory in their next contest. BUT USC is 5-0 @ Home in 2025 with an average victory margin of 30.4 points. IOWA hopes slowdown USC passing attack that averages 303 yards per game through the air. However So.Cal's running game averages 5.81 yards per carry, No. 8 nationally & Hawks really struggled to slow Oregon

Oklahoma @ Alabama, 3:30 ABC - if OU can get by Bama for the second year in a row, they have two home games with a shot at 10-2 and, almost certainly, a spot in the CFP. Alabama didn't get off the bus in last year's 24-3 loss to OU. But this year, they win and it's in the SEC Championship if Texas loses any of its last three games.

No. 10 Texas at No. 5, 7:30 ABC A rematch of the SEC Championship Game -- Georgia beat Texas 22-19 in overtime last December -- marks the first time the Longhorns will play at Sanford Stadium, Texas has won 4 games. They haven't run well, and you never know if you're getting good Arch or bad Arch. But it's winning, the defensive front is eating up everyone. They had a great game V. The Sooners but Mateer was banged up. And they had to go to OT V. Kentucky & Mississippi State. Georgia has been the find-a-way to win team or just chummy with Satan himself. How do you beat Kirby's team? Pay off the officials or heave the damn rock so Arch will have to put his stamp on the season

TCU@ No.12 BYU. 10:15 ESPN - not that anyone here cares but might be a good game. BYU didn't look like one of the nation's better teams last weekend in a 29-7 loss to No. 6 Texas Tech during a conference showdown @ TT. The loss means the Cougars likely need to win each of their final three regular-season games -- and probably win impressively -- to land a spot in the College Football Playoff. BYU missed out last season when it was 10-2 on the selection day. Against TCU, BYU has lost five straight games -- four by 25 or more points —  most recently falling 44-11 in 2023 in Fort Worth


Coffee's done and I'm out the door

Morning Nubbz!

I'm sipping coffee while my dogs annoy me. One had a sore on his ear that neither of them would leave alone, so now he's wearing a cone of shame.

Gym here in a bit, then the store. I have a bad habit of buying random stuff that's on sale during the week, and now I need to cook it. Have some puff pastry, skirt steak, chicken thighs, and other random things I need to do something with today.

But really looking forward to the football. For one, it's pretty warm today, so I can watch in the sun room. Plus good games on all day.

Noon: Will flip between ND-Pitt and Michigan-NW. Auburn North still in the playoff mix but NW can be sneaky tough.

3:30: Flipping between Bama-OU and USC-Iowa.

Evening. Buckeyes and Georgia-Texas.

https://awfulannouncing.com/college-football/iowa-usc-big-ten-network.html

Nice article explaining how Iowa-USC ended up on BTN instead of a major network.

I am still not sure if I understand this.  There is a clause each Big Ten school must play 1 conference game on BTN and at least 2 games total on BTN.  Neither Iowa or USC have played a conference game on BTN yet,  invoking the clause somehow for this week's game.

I'm pretty sure each team must have at least one home game on BTN too.

Well in my quest for Rogue Ale,no such luck but the guy on the corner said he'll pull some aside if any comes in. Plus I came back with a sixer of Shiner's Holiday Cheer so that's a Win. Have a Funeral today unfortunately so I won't be catching much of the early games, be making some chili later as the weather starts to turn.

Hopefully UCLA doesn't have any surprises left under the lights tonite but they have nothing to lose and will be playing loose. The game between these two is eerily similar to the 1980 contest when Terry Donahue's Bruins (who were5-6 the year before) dumped the No.2 ranked Buckeyes in the 'Shoe 17-0 :-[. Hopefully we'll have none of that
