The Tribe comes to Villanova, Friday night, for another PLAYOFF game.
Pasadena? Where's that?
In a three year period (85-87) they went to the Rose Bowl and the Holiday Bowl twice. I was living in southern CA then.quote:Originally posted by BOF:
Iowa fans don't get out to the Pasadena enough to even know what to complain about them...

It is a place in the West where football teams from the Midwest come to get the snot kicked out of them, usually by a team with Maroon/Gold colors.(thankfully won't happen this year, at least the color part)
People can't figure out why even after week of visiting Disneyland, Hollywood, the beach, movie studios, late night talk shows, generally having a great time, and oh yeah and staying up all night the night before and being in a parade. Their fans have a GREAT time contrary to what RJM says...until at least the game starts.
(those Black and Gold guys almost made it this year .... nice season)
I didn't say they don't have a good time.quote:Their fans have a GREAT time contrary to what RJM says

Oh yea! That Pasadena!
Actually that team in Maroon/Gold has never beat us in the Rose Bowl but they kicked the snot out of us in Miami (2003) in the Orange Bowl.
UCLA kicked the snot out of Iowa in the Rose Bowl.quote:Originally posted by PGStaff:quote:It is a place in the West where football teams from the Midwest come to get the snot kicked out of them, usually by a team with Maroon/Gold colors.(thankfully won't happen this year, at least the color part)

The team in Maroon/Gold? UCLA?
Kicked the snot out of Iowa? That would be a very long list of teams.
UCLA did beat Iowa 45-28 in 1986. I thought their colors were Blue and Gold. They were very good back in those days.
For a while before Hayden Fry showed up, Iowa might have been the nation's worst football program. In the 60s and 70s we got the snot kicked out of us almost weekly. 19 consecutive losing seasons including a year of 0-11.

PG,
I thinks he means USC, Maroon/Gold, or SF49ers

The Browns are playing well tonight. Looks pretty cold in Cleveland. Some guys in short sleeves.
What's with all the empty seats?

USC is correct:
The University of Spoiled Children.

Posted from a CollegeBaseballToday.com interview with TCU Head Baseball Coach Jim Schlossnagle:
quote:SIDE NOTE:
Before we got to talking about his baseball team, coach Schlossnagle told me about being in the Frog Dome with all the fans and the band and the football team for the “live” shots during the BCS announcement show on Sunday night. Funny thing is, he told me that even though it looked live at the time of the show, most of it was actually pre-recorded about a half-hour before the show.
So the team is there, coach Gary Patterson is there, the Fox camera crew is there and Fox reporter Charissa Thompson is there. According to coach Schlossnagle, the producers were there pumping their fists and getting the crowd jazzed with applause signs and all. He said they didn’t know which bowl game they were going to play in at the beginning of the taping and even when it did go live, Thompson only told the fans gathered there that they were going to the Fiesta Bowl and not who they would play.
Coach Patterson was finally told it would be against Boise State right before Thompson stuck a mic in his face.
It was when people started filing out of Daniel-Meyer Coliseum that the fans realized it was a rematch with Boise State that their Frogs got and not the chance to play a team like Florida. The crowd walked away disappointed. No chance to prove themselves against the snobby big-money players in the good ole boys network.

I really can't believe the Cincy coach leaving before the bowl game (and undefeated season if W)

You have to like how the Cincy kids handled it--basically saying we will win without him---this may be what they need to beat the Gators

You're right, TR. Good luck to those Cincy players. Florida is likely to come out like Bama did last year against Utah, dissapointed not to be playing for the whole enchilada and ripe to be beaten.
They are POed and they are very very angry. To say they will be playing with a chip on their shoulder would be a huge understatement. And I believe they have every right to feel that way. One would think the only reason they are any good is BK. They may not win but I would be willing to bet UF will get their absolute best shot. They will play very hard. And I hope they do win.
