Oregon beats Oregon State in a shootout, 37-33, and wins the Rose Bowl berth on New Year's Day.

Much more exciting than the Jets-Bills game... :bleh:

Texas survives and beats Nebraska 13-12. What a game, the ending was great. Nebraska almost had the upset, kinda feel bad for them, they played great defense.

Alabama over Florida 32-13. Technically this was an upset, but I had Alabama winning; like I said earlier in this thread Florida never had me convinced as a number 1 seed.

Some wild and exciting games today: Cincy-Pitt, USC-Arizona (the Trojans LOST :twisted: ), Nebraska-Texas.

Nebraska shoulda had that game: awful kickoff after taking the lead and the horse-collar tackle did them in. :shakehead:

I was really hoping for BCS chaos.

I agree, there were some pretty exciting games, especially Nebraska-Texas. That kickoff didn't help Nebraska, but who knows what Texas could've pulled out. I was hyped for Alabama-Florida, but there was no fourth-quarter comeback for the Gators this time around. Alabama had their foot on the pedal from the get-go, and both offensive and defensive lines played well. I liked McElroy skipping his way to first down; little things like that can go a long way in big game.

Fresno State-Illinois was pretty exciting for me, crazy two-point conversion at the end for the Bulldogs giving them the win.

A little karma for the Trojans. I didn't mind the touchdown last week, but the celebration afterwards was a bit much for me. Looks like the football gods dished out a little payback.

The football gods were definitely on Colt McCoy's side: his inexplicable scramble with 7 seconds left :headscratch: and given that one second for the kicking team was a blessing...

He'd better be a church today. :beaten:

YES. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Next year's UCLA-USC game should be WILD.

Pats play like crap for a second week in a row and lose to Miami 22-21. :shakehead: We continue to be win less on the road. :ashamed:

Raiders upset the Steelers 27-24. They have 4 wins, 3 against the Eagles, Bengals and Steelers. If they could win the last 4, (do-able with the exception of the Denver game) they could end up 8-8 :crazy:

Saints luck out and win in OT over the Redskins, 33-30. :shakehead:

Redskins pretty much controlled the entire game, but a missed chip shot FG with about two minutes left cost Washington the game. :shakehead: :shakehead: :shakehead:

Surprise, surprise: it's Alabama vs. Texas in the BCS Championship.

After what I saw yesterday, Texas doesn't even deserve to be in the championship game, so I'm rooting for 'Bama. :victory:

Bosie State vs. TCU (Fiesta Bowl), nice, suck on that BCS. :mrgreen:

Cardinals handle the Vikings with relative ease, 30-17.

This was pretty much inevitable:

ASHBURN, Va. (AP)\The chip-shot miss against the New Orleans Saints has cost Washington Redskins kicker Shaun Suisham his job.

Suisham, the most accurate kicker in franchise history, was cut Tuesday by the Redskins, who replaced him with Graham Gano from the United Football League.

Suisham made his first 13 field goal attempts this season, but he had vital misses from 39 and 50 yards in the 7-6 loss to Dallas three games ago and was wide right Sunday on a 23-yarder that would have sealed a victory over the unbeaten Saints. New Orleans rallied to win 33-30 in overtime.

Suisham made 18 of 21 attempts this season and 81 of 101 since joining the Redskins in 2006. His 80.2 percent success rate is the best career mark for any Redskins kicker with more than a half-dozen attempts.

gWefve let a good kicker go down the road,h coach Jim Zorn said on his weekly radio show on ESPN980. gShaun has performed very well. I know hefll just be upset. He should be, but yet therefs an accountability there. Wefll all end up being accountable for our season, no question about it.h

LOL.

Looks like Mike Shanahan's name has come up a lot lately...

Johnson, Ochocinco, "Hachi Go"? Chad's next name change

[image]

Yahoo Sports

According to someone who watches his broadcasts at UStream -- which I might do someday if my television is stolen, there are no books left in the world, the rest of the internet dies and a sniper is perched outside ready to kill me the second I leave my home -- Chad Ochocinco plans on changing his name again.

He made the announcement on Sunday morning before the game against the Lions. This time, the new name will be "Hachi Go," which is Japanese for "Eight Five." From ***** S. Moore at The Dugout Sports Show:

"I'm not sure how Mr. Goodell is going to take it," Ochocinco said as he held up the jersey.

But why "Hachi Go"?

A Japanese film crew was in town a couple weeks ago to do a piece on the Bengals for a NFL show over there. They said all NFL fans in Japan know who Chad Ochocinco(notes) is and they seriously made a proposal to Chad to change his last name to "Hachi Go".

"Some fans of mine that are Japanese said I should change my last name to 'Hachi Go'."

Well, by all means, if someone suggested it, you should do it. Can I be in line next? The season after "Hachi Go," I think you should be "Chad Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia." It would mean "Chad Fear of Long Words," but really, I just want to see how it looks on a jersey.

Do whatever makes you happy, man. Perhaps someday, you will get an amount of attention that you believe is enough.
