NCAA Football Result: Arizona State vs Texas
Friday, December 28th, 2007
Texas Longhorns trounced Arizona State Sun Devils 52-34 in Pacific Life Holiday Bowl Friday night.
Texas Longhorns was led by Texas Longhorns’ quarterback Colt McCoy but someone stole the show, Chris Jessie, the stepson of Texas coach Mack Brown, inadvertently becoming part of the game. Texas Longhorns was leading 21-0 and the Arizona State Sun Devils driving early in the second quarter, Arizona State Sun Devils’ quarterback Rudy Carpenter dropped back to pass and was hit by linebacker Roddrick Muckelroy. The ball squirted backward, toward the Texas Longhorns’ sideline. Chris Jessie, a member of his stepfather’s football operations staff, stepped about a yard onto the field and was motioning toward a player when he reached down and appeared to touch the ball with his left thumb.
Texas Longhorns defensive tackle Roy Miller slapped the ball away from the sideline and defensive end Aaron Lewis recovered and returned it to about the Arizona State Sun Devils 44. After a 12-minute review, officials reversed the play. They ruled that Chris Jessie touched the ball, which is illegal interference, an unsportsmanlike foul. The ball reverted to the Arizona State Sun Devils and Texas Longhorns was penalized half the distance to the goal, giving Arizona State Sun Devils fourth-and-3 at the 7. Devils’ quarterback Rudy Carpenter threw a touchdown pass to Arizona State Sun Devils’ wide receiver Chris McGaha.
The 86 points were the fourth-most in the Holiday Bowl’s 30-year history, which is full of crazy plays and wild finishes. Texas Longhorns set team records for points in a bowl game and with its fourth straight postseason win.

Betting Tips for 2007 NCAA College Football Week 11
Saturday, November 10th, 2007
This season, we have reliable teams you can still bet on despite the number of upsets we’ve been having this year.
One of these ‘reliable’ teams is this powerhouse team from Ohio, the No.1 team in the country this 2007 NCAA college football season. That’s the Buckeyes of Ohio State.
The Ohio State Buckeyes continue to remain on top of the BCS rankings despite the wild weeks we’ve been having on the college gridiron. On Saturday, Ohio State takes on the Illinois Fighting Illini and there’s no doubt that the 10-0 Buckeyes will soon score their 11th straight win of the season when they renew their rivalry with Illinois.
Probably dubbed as the ”battle for Illibuck,’ both the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Illinois Fighting Illini will again be playing for ‘Illi Illibuck‘ that makes this college football rivalry one of the most intriguing ever. Expect the Buckeyes to beat Illinois.
The Michigan Wolverines, after struggling to start the 2007 NCAA college football season, have found themselves ranked No.12 and will probably be going for at least a BCS bowl game at season’s end.
They will be taking on the Wisconsin Badgers in a game the Wolverines need more than Wisconsin. Wolverines quarterback Chad Henne was able to lead this team to 8-2, winning EIGHT games in a row and are now looking to win the Big Ten title.
As for the Badgers, let’s just say Michigan would just…
Red River Rivalry: Texas VS Oklahoma on Saturday
Saturday, October 6th, 2007
Week 6 of the 2007 NCAA college football season and heading for this Saturday’s crop of games, we see some new teams on top of the infamous AP poll rankings.
The LSU Tigers are now our new No.1 team, dethroning the USC Trojans from their throne. Teams like the California Golden Bears, the Wisconsin Badgers and the South Florida Bulls were all voted in the top ten.
As for the teams we normally see on top, well, let’s just say they have fallen under the radar lately.
Two of which are the Oklahoma Sooners and the Texas Longhorns. These two teams started their respective Big 12 campaigns with losses. The Longhorns lost to the Kansas State Wildcats while the Sooners were just edged by the Colorado Buffaloes, 27-24.
Yep, they do have this ‘Red River Rivalry’ going for them but perhaps what’s more important for these two teams that’ll be facing off this Saturday is to avoid starting their Big 12 campaign with a dismal 0-2 start.
This ‘Red River Rivalry’ thing PROBABLY came from the Red River that forms part of the boundary that separates Oklahoma and Texas. Oh yeah, the Texas Longhorns have dominated this thing so far, with an all-time record of 57-35-9.
These Longhorns will be going for a third straight win on Saturday despite the fact that both teams will be heading for their annual collision course coming off losses for the first time in eight years.
So who should you be betting on? Sure, Texas almost always gets the best of Oklahoma in this ‘Red River Rivalry‘ thing but…
Notre Dame Fighting Irish try to get in Win Column Saturday
Saturday, September 29th, 2007
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish continue to struggle.
After four weeks into the 2007-08 NCAA college football season, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish have already set a milestone that they can’t possible be proud of.
For the first time in their 119 years of playing college football, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish are a perfect 0-4. That’s despite the fact that they got to the end zone, TWICE, against a team they normally would just beat all over the field, the Michigan State Spartans.
On Saturday, 
the Notre Dame Fighting Irish will be trying to snap their losing streak to welcome the brand new football year against the Purdue Boilermakers. That or we could very well see the Irish go 0-5 for the first time in their 119 seasons in the league.
Against the Spartans last Saturday, the Fighting Irish scored in each of the first two quarters of their game at Notre Dame Stadium. That, however, would be the last thing they would be able to do against Michigan State as the Irish will get virtually BLANKED in the second half.
End result? Michigan State Spartans beat the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, 31-14.
For what it’s worth, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish are…
