"Important" is such a relative word...

**important outside of aggyland**

better?

[DragonBand06]

**important outside of aggyland**

better?nope. Still pretty vague. Important to what? Important relative to determining who will be in the title game? Who will make bowl games? How the economy will do next year? Whether terrorism is going away?

You beat me to it...

It's just a list anyways as seen by a "somebody", there are alot of important games....

[Favpack]

Mr. Obvious:

List is made by NBC - NBC is in bed with the Irish.

I know more about chess than NBC does about college football.

[Firebird]

Ole' Miss might be, but 'Bama is no SEC middleweight. Let's not forget that they beat everyone on their SEC schedule last year save the eventual national champion. They bring a lot back and Saban's had top 5 recruiting since arriving in Tuscaloosa. They will be in the very thick of the SEC and probably national race next year.

fla and lsu have won the sec in the past few years. until bama and ole miss win it, their middlewieghts.

Ole Miss beat us and Florida last year....Almost beat Alabama losing 24-20....That's not a chump game by any means...

Tech being absent from the list is a testament to how much it doesn't wreak. ;)

tcehlahoma beat texas and okie st. last year, but still isn't a big XII heavyweight, because they don't have the hardware.

that being said, they're no lightweights.

I'm just glad you were able to get the Oregon vs Boise St. game in there:rolleyes:

what a travesty this would have been if it were not on that list

[tayb]

I'm just glad you were able to get the Oregon vs Boise St. game in there:rolleyes:

Those two teams finished 10 and 11 in the final AP polls and aren't losing much coming into this season.

I probably wouldn't have included that game on "my" list, but like tayb said, it could be big...

i think what dawg is forgetting is that now there are 4- 5 non-bcs teams on the bubble, and whenever they face a BCS school, it increases their chances of making it in the at-large bid.

[lonny23]

i think what dawg is forgetting is that now there are 4- 5 non-bcs teams on the bubble, and whenever they face a BCS school, it increases their chances of making it in the at-large bid.
I won't deny that, but it still doesn't get around the fact that if it weren't for ACC vs. Big East, the token non-BCS school that crashes the party will always be in the worst, least talked about BCS bowl. That really doesn't make them relavent in the sense of this list which is SUPPOSED to THEORETICALLY really mean something; i.e. impact the BCS National Title Game. I mean I agreed that Utah should've won the title since they ran the table and nobody else did, but if they can't win a title last year, that makes any non-BCS team's big games less relavent.

Some of the other games are obivously flawed. What Miami, ND, and Free Shoes used to do has nothing to do with them being important games in 2009.

I would also argue that Okie Lite has done far too little to have so many important games this year and I think time will show they finish 4th in the South.

There were other games that were just a joke, too.

It's good to see the mental midgets around here want to make it a Tech thing.

I wasn't really forgetting, I could just hardly give a sh*t less about those two teams;)

the real question was were they relevant, the end of year came and proved other wise.

No one really made a big deal about it like a certain Texas Tech Fan did...Most took it for it what it was...:rolleyes:

I personally think LSU going to Georgia is an important game, but I ain't crying about someone else's list...

ask Texas if Tech mattered last year.

Only the idiots will say no.

being realistic, do you honestly think they had a chance vs florida... Yeah we knew the beat Texas, but come on you don't play that bad at the end of the season and get slaughtered in your bowl game and think you're relevant.

They beat the horns and i acknowledge, but c'mon everyone snags that 1 victory against the big dogg every now and then. And in reality you know 9/10 you'd lose.

the only reality is that they beat UT last season and they were as relevant as anyone else in the title picture.

[tayb]

You can't claim Tech wasn't relevant last year or their game against Texas and Oklahoma weren't absolutely HUGE (at least in the first five minutes against ou :D). In retrospect the BIGGEST game of the year last season was the Texas vs Texas Tech game. Had that game never been played there wouldn't have been a three way tie, Texas would have played in the Big XII championship, and oklahoma could have averted losing another big BCS game. I can't think of a single game that had more national title implications than that single game.

Just look at the polls. Tech started the season 12th and made their way up to #2 in the country (and stayed there for several weeks) before getting taken out back by ou, losing their bowl game (probably because they just didn't give a damn), and finished the season at #12. Hardly irrelevant.

I don't think Tech is going to be near as good of a team this year which is probably why they weren't included in the list but to claim they weren't relevant last year is nonsense.

I tend to agree.

I also think next years team will turn out to be pretty solid. Alot of guys are in a position to step up. We have replaced star wide receivers with young guys that turn out to be stars year after year. That will be no different in '09.

No, you didn't take it for what it was. You posted it and initially said nothing about it. That's called a silent endorsement of said product. It would've been far better to post it, and discuss the merits of it vs. the standard, "I'm going to throw this out there for everybody to see" like normal for many people. There is no logical reason to post something that you don't agree with, but also won't castigate. When you post it, you're endorsing the validity of it and that's why I came out and said it blows and I still say it blows. I'm not talking about likes, dislikes, or any number of things. I'm just talking about simple human emotions and thought processes. The message you sent me was "cajun thinks this is a cool list." If you don't want to send that message, say something the next time.

Some of those who followed you took it for what it's worth and some disagreed. I'm sure many read it, but we don't know who they are, and it's insignificant enough for them that they didn't even comment.

no i'm sorry you beat a texas team who deserved to lose for playing like crap thought you were relevant and got brought down to reality.

ROTFLMAO!!!!! It never ceases to amaze me how the sips will spin any loss. Tech deserved to lose at OU and Ole Miss because they played like crap. Yea that excuse makes everything all better.:rolleyes:

looking at the overall record of ou texas and tceh, which one is the most shoking?

the 1 loss texas team beating a 2 loss ou
the 2 loss ou beating the 2 loss tceh
or
the 2 loss tceh beating the 1 loss texas.

???

please answer.

[The Wet Mustard]

1. Texas vs. OU at Dallas (10/17)
Without a doubt the Red River Shootout is the game of the year. Factor in the return of both Sam Bradford and Colt McCoy — who finished first and second in the 2008 Heisman race, respectively — whose teams, the Sooners and Longhorns, respectively, finished second and third in the final BCS standings.

That’s a lot of respect. Just like in 2008, it will be a surprise if one participant in this game (notice, we didn’t say “winner”) is not playing for the national championship in Pasadena.

So the secret is you actually mnust lose the game to get a chance at the national champioship.

shoking? not sure if that is tex-mex or what

Ut did some shoking at Lubbock this year

You sips are the spin masters of all college sports. You find a way to justify any loss and make it a fluke or we just played bad. The arrogance is what causes people to hate UT.

nope, I am saying sips can't handle a loss without an excuse and you proved it. I can even say that without the juvenile attempt at humor by using vulgarity. Of course your superior intellect won't let you understand that...sorry

i thought the arguement was that texas choked away a game that the experts said they should have won? how is that not "handling a loss"? if they were saying "naw, it wasn't a loss...we really won". THAT would be not handling a loss.

but let's be real, texas should have beaten aggy in 06 & 07, they probably should have beaten tceh in 08, but both times came up short.

spin? i don't see it. i guess i'm "spinning" that texas was a worse team then aggy? :laugh
