Subject: Bowl Games Talk Posted by: barilko6 - Donor [13821022] Fri, Dec 29, 2006, 14:19 Not sure if anyone is interested, or even watching, but this Clemson/Kentucky is very frustrating to watch! Clemson can't make a kick (2 missed FG's and a missed PA) and there have been some fumbles, an interception in the endzone with defensive pass interference not called, and some other crazy stuff... Why does this matter? Its the final game on my 5 team parlay... | |||||||

I'm interested too because I picked Clemson to win in my pool, and I picked them to score the most points of all bowl teams for bonus points. (Which would currently mean they need a 40pt 2nd half) Not looking good! | ||||||

Sun Bowl: OSU Beavers 14 Misouri 7 Early in the game. Beavers choose to go on 4th and 1 and it pays off. | ||||||

Yeah...I have Clemson too. Need them to win by 11. Gooooooooooo.... I swear I could do a better job kicking than those guys on the Tigers. | ||||||

Confession: I quit watching the TT game half way through the third quarter. Then I flipped back over to it two plays before the field goal to tie. That TT offense is offensive. | ||||||
| 9 | Kyle on laptop ID: 276301019 Mon, Jan 01, 2007, 16:36 | I am watching the ARK-WISC game with 2 minutes. Paul Maguire is a complete arse. He has been saying all day how Arkansas would be so much better. I am sorry but these are college kids who are still doing this for the love of the game. Yes a few of them are going to be making millions, but most of these players will go on to other jobs. He also was insulting Bob Greise during his analysis. I don't think he'll be doing many games next season. At least I hope he doesn't. | ||||||

Boise State!!! I worked for a short while at KTIK sports radio in Boise. They must be going nuts there. Good luck in the 2nd half. | ||||||
| 11 | Electroman ID: 44651412 Tue, Jan 02, 2007, 00:56 | Wow, Boise State vs OU was one of the most exciting football games I have ever watched. Great finish, for Boise fans. | ||||||

What an incredible win for Boise State in one of the best football games ever. 13-0. | ||||||

Allow me to quote myself, "They're going to run it around this end" and sure enough... Speed kills, especially if you break containment and get your speed going in the wrong direction. Well done, Boise State. So far this has been one of the most exciting bowl seasons, ever. But that only reinforces the fact that there needs to be a playoff system. Call it "Holiday Hysteria" or some other contrite moniker. | ||||||

When did announcers etc., find it necessary to prounce it "Notre Dame"? Probably a long time ago; I don't watch enuf college football. When I grew up, the University was pronounced "Noter Dame" (unlike the French cathedral, etc.) Toral | ||||||
| 15 | KrazyKoalaBears ID: 32045213 Wed, Jan 03, 2007, 22:37 |
Toral, FWIW, Wikipedia has it pronounced: ˈnotɚ dem Any takers on if that's No-truh or Noter? | ||||||
| 16 | Slowhand SuperDude ID: 056744223 Wed, Jan 03, 2007, 22:54 |
Beano Cook says No-truh.... and that's good enough for me. ;-) | ||||||
| 17 | Slowhand SuperDude ID: 056744223 Wed, Jan 03, 2007, 23:01 | And by the by I've watched a lot of football in the last 45 yrs. and I'm definatley putting the BSU/OU Fiesta bowl as one of the best GAMES Pro OR college I've EVER seen. Absolutley incredible. | ||||||
| 18 | Toral ID: 52621719 Wed, Jan 03, 2007, 23:01 |
The refs, announcing the penalties, all call it "Noter Dame". Toral | ||||||
| 19 | Perm Dude ID: 3405938 Wed, Jan 03, 2007, 23:57 |
I was trying to find out on the Notre Dame site how you say it--haven't found it yet, but found this funny piece from an Englishman coming to ND to study: link | ||||||
| 20 | Perm Dude ID: 3405938 Thu, Jan 04, 2007, 00:00 | I'm just pleased that people finally figured out how to say the name of my alma mater, Xavier. | ||||||
| 21 | Electroman ID: 44651412 Thu, Jan 04, 2007, 11:43 |
The Americanized version would be Noter Dame, but the real way would be "knot-truh Damn". | ||||||
