The polls the first five weeks into the season are the biggest joke in sports. Seriously, OU has no call to be anywhere in either poll after that abortion against TCU and struggling against Tulsa. But they get the benefit of being grossly overranked and NU gets zero votes for basically being the same team (one that has struggled and showed some brillinace and some inepitude). Meanwhile, every single broadcaster on ESPN is taking a number to get in line for the Notre Dame circle jerk. Zero votes to being #10!? Props for winning in Ann Arbor but seriously.... The first poll should come out after week 6. That way teams like Auburn and Boise State and OU don't have the bias of their preseason rank and teams like ISU and Clemson don't have to fight through percieved badness. This after one of the best football weekends in years for me. Lately it sucks being a NU alum and a Niner fan, but I was in full myopian mode after the WF game and after the niner/ram game

All right now which one is it? "What's Callahan doing? He passed from the one yard line!" "Callahan always ran it the first two downs!!! BOOOOO" Jeez guys I am not 100% with him but lets give him at least a small chance. #1, he had no timouts with 55 seconds left in the half and the ball. Maybe enough time for one running play at the end. But where? At the front end, you're rushed for time. At the end, now your field goal is compromised by time with a true freshman kicker. WF is the opponent now. What happens if they hang 35 or soemthing on them and the defense holds true? Of course, they could go screw the pooch for 48 minutes and lose as well. But sitting aroung here and Monday Morning QB'ing this guys choices when the man has probably forgotten more about fotball than most of us could ever know. No matter how many claims that "I" could have coached that team to a 30 point victory.

I would just like to point out that, in addition to nepolo7 expecting alot from his football team, and its crowd. He also expects alot from buffet tables. Sorry I took your topic Eric

I guess I was not as dissapointed in NU as most here were, after all, a win is a win with this team, and I would like to know what was so promising about the end of last year that gave everyone such high goddamn expectaions this year? Please guys, if you wanted that score to be 63 to whatever, you should have stayed home, cracked a PBR and queued up your PS2, because that was the only place where that was gonna happen. That leads to this, I sat in perhaps the worst section near the worst NU fans I have ever been around at that game. I was being yelled at to sit down on the first play from scrimmage, and they only stood up for the GODDAMN BAND AT HALFTIME! If only the students are going to get fired up for the game, and then throw it in as a crowd when we aren;t rushing for 310 yards at the half, then a lot more is wrong with this program then the people running it. The horrible crown and my genera shock at seeing how fat some of my friends have gotten were the worst part of it for me. As for the game, I thought every skill position in general looked better. Except for Ross. Seriously, if the line is going to be that bad, then Ross' bowling ball style running is not going to cut it. Put a slasher like Lucky in there. That guy is so good we are likely only to get 3 years out of him anyway, lets use him. Hardee is crazy fast and has good hands, Taylor throws a good ball. Its been a long time since we;ve had those three tools, give it some more time.
