LSU just scored late against Arizona St to go up. Great comeback in the 4th. Good for them. Must've been an emotional game for those guys. JeMarcus Russell was PUMPED when he threw the winning TD. The people at Tiger Stadium seemed to be able to forget their problems for one night. Sports may be trivial but they can provide a nice distraction, too. I still remember the first Mets game after 9/11 it just feels good to see something you expect that reminds you that things could return to "normal" at some point.

Goes to show how good OU is when they beat Tulsa by 16 and the team they lost to (TCU) lost to SMU :laugh:

Overall, I am not shocked by any of the results. If I had to pick a game, I would pick Iowa losing to Iowa St. as the biggest upset.

Go Michigan! </sarcasm> :rofl:

I love picking on BroChaos

How does that show how good OU is? They were up 2 late in the 4th. Adrian Peterson scored with about 3 minutes left. Their final touchdown was in the last minute on an INT returned for a TD.

It was a good weekend of tough college football.

Several upsets:

Iowa State over Iowa

Michigans loss to Notre Dame

SMU beats TCU (which beat Oklahoma the week prior)

and a few almost upsets.

Georgia squeeking by South Carolina

LSU barely wins over Arizona State (pulls one out in the last 2 minutes)

Texas struggles past Ohio State

By the spread line the Tigers actually WERE underdogs. I don't think they should have been but I guess the change of venue was enough for the oddsmakers.

LSU was the "home" team though they ended up playing in Tempe, Arizona. That's good enough to change the odds around, if you ask me.

I am glad college football is back, though. I've gone through 3 seasons of NCAA 2006 just to get me pumped up for this season.

Go Nebraska! :D

Wow TCU just broke Utah's 18(?) game winning streak. Maybe last week was the fluke game lol. Wins over OU and Utah. Not too shabby. Of course that loss to SMU will kill them anyway.

I guess we shall find out in the coming weeks whether they are the real deal or not.

    • Limited Prime Day deal sees Amazon Echo Show 11 is at its lowest price yet

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Limited Prime Day deal sees Amazon Echo Show 11 is at its lowest price yet by Ivan Jenic The Amazon Echo Show 11 is currently $149.99 on Amazon during Prime Day, down from $219.99. That's 32% off and $70 saved on Amazon's newest mid-size smart display (purchase link below). As its name suggests, the Echo Show 11 features a 11” Full-HD touchscreen, which is a decent upgrade over the Echo Show 8. It offers 60% more viewing area, which makes a genuine difference for recipes, calendars, video calls, or any other scenario where the smaller display can feel a bit cramped. The Show 11 is built around Alexa+, Amazon's more capable AI assistant that can handle natural conversation. You can make reservations, order groceries, and find content based on your preferences, instead of always having to give it precise commands. There’s also the Omnisense technology, which adds ambient awareness, allowing the device to trigger routines based on temperature, presence detection, or visual cues. Smart home control is built in without needing a separate hub, and the home screen doubles as a photo slideshow when not in use. Taking all of this into account, the Show 11 is a perfect smart addition to your kitchen counter or living room. At $149.99, this is a strong Prime Day buy for anyone already in the Amazon ecosystem or looking to build one out.
