OFFICIAL COLLEGE FOOTBALL FAN THREAD WEEK 5

Hotty Toddy!!!

Obviously a big rivalry game for Ole Miss this weekend! Fingers crossed we come away with a win. Miss State is hosting Alabama this week. Not expecting much but we are always hopeful.

Panty raids were so much fun!!! The real fun was to dangle out sexy panties, get a large group of boys below, then dump a wastebasket of water on them! 😈 Fun was had by both sides! Seems quite provincial compared to how things are 50 years later. Were panty raids not a thing at other campuses back in the 60s and 70s?

Purdue hosts Illinois. I'm trying to remain optimistic but it's hard to do. Our prior coach took most of the really good players with him when he left. It is a rebuilding year for sure.

It is homecoming and we thought we were going to attend the game but we are watching the grandsons so now we need to find someplace to watch it because it is on Peacock which we don't get.

Boiler Up!

My Oklahoma Sooners are playing Iowa State in Norman on Saturday night. We’ll be at the game. It should be an easy win, although I hope they don’t take Iowa State for granted. I worry that they might be looking ahead to next week’s game w/ Texas in the Cotton Bowl.

BOOMER!

As Susie_Homemaker said, it's Auburn hosting Georgia Saturday. I hope you have a great time Susie, I sure wish I could be there.

I am expecting a big ole stomping. I hope I'm at least surprised with some decent scoring out of us but not holding my breath.

WAR EAGLE!!!

We received an interesting email from the OU athletic office earlier in the week about OU’s move to the SEC next year. There is going to be a lot of seat shuffling in our stadium after this season to bring as us in compliance w/ SEC rules. Our student section currently extends to about the 40 yard line. Under the SEC rules, the student section cannot be inside the 30 yard line, so the student section will be moved down towards the end zone and will go higher than it currently goes. Also, the Big 12 requires each school to make 2500 tickets available to visiting teams, while the SEC requires that 5000 be made available to visiting teams, 2;000 of which must be in the lower bowl.

The section my husband and I sit in will not be affected by the new rules, but a lot of sections will be affected. Ordinary fans like myself don’t think about all the changes which come when you join a new conference!

Texas and Oklahoma did negotiate a deal with the SEC allowing OU and Texas to continue to play the OU-Texas game at a neutral site (the Cotton Bowl) with tickets between the two schools split evenly down the 50 yard line.

HOTTY TODDY!!!   

Ole Miss beat LSU 55-49!  What a game!!! Sorry to cadoodlebug for the loss, but you have to admit that was a heck of a game - especially the 4th quarter. Pretty sure those last 2 minutes took a few years off of my life though.

My Oklahoma Sooners beat Iowa State 50-20.

We got home from the OU game in time to watch the end of the Duke-Notre Dame game. What an exciting 4th quarter!

Hotty toddy! We are almost home from the game. It was a real nail biter! Frankly, neither of our defenses were great, which is why it was back and forth so much. We were luck at the end.

ETA: There were several “mixed” families around us. The season ticket holder family who normally sits in front of us was dressed with the men in LSU colors and the women in Ole Miss colors and the woman next to me said her husband is a huge LSU fan, but he couldn’t come. Our section is near the visitor section, and the LSU fans were really enthusiastic; I always enjoy their band.

Purdue won! They finally put two good halves together. There were some really good games yesterday. The Duke game was a heartbreaker.

I know what you mean! I married into an Ole Miss family, but I went to State for grad school, and I grew up with USM parents. DD goes and I went to Millsaps. We have Ole Miss season tickets, so we go to Oxford for most home games, and I go to Millsaps games to watch DD’s pep band during one or two away weeks each season.
