Evening Herr KaLeun. I too have always been surprised that this charge was the last large scale one, but it is how I remember it.
Just to be sure, I did google last British cavalry charge and found and read of the one you mention about an hour ago!
NCAA FB #1 and #2 the only safe places to be…

ND, PSU, and Bama started out off or nearly off of the top 25.
UTK, OU, Iowa, Purdue, TAMU, Boise St, Cal, AZ St, UVA, & Pittsburgh are 9 teams that started out ranked, and have since fallen out of the top 25.

Penn St is #3 in the BCS ranks.
LSU is #3 in the USA Today and AP polls. But it may slip before the SEC championship game vs #13 UGA.LSU had an unconvincing 19-17 win at home vs Ark, a team with a losing season.
I think the best potential upset will be UNC vs. #5 VT.
Earlier this year, UNC scored 16 at Miami, the 3rd highest point total the 'Canes have given up.
UNC has also quality wins vs #23 UVA and #19 BC.
The key will be for the defense to hold back Marcus Vick and his powerful Hokies scoring machine.Other interesting games.
#23 FSU at #19 UFL
#13 UGA at. #20 GT
Too close to call for FSU.
UGA is obviously favored. GT has lost only 1 at home this year.
Conference-wise, these games are meaningless.
But both are major rivalries.
I’d love to see the minor upsets in both.
Both would still be great games if the favoreds prevailed. -

The disappointing LSU performance is all the more glaring when you count how Ark gambled and lost on a 2 pt. play.
Ark also missed 2 field goals.
Ark was in FG range in the last minute before an interception sealed the 2 pt loss.
LSU was favored by 17.PSU should easily trade up to #3.
The Lions need only await a UTX or USC loss, possibly both ( really unlikely), to get into the Rose Bowl for the National Championship.
The other big money bowls will all bid for Joe Pat’s team.The SEC Championship game vs UGA will be a must win if LSU want to get back to #3.
This is of course, dependent on the VT as the Hokies can score the BCS #3 with the ACC Championship win after a strong showings vs UNC. -
How many years have we had the BCS? 7.
Some yahoo thinks he has written a gret piece here…
http://www.lasalute.net/article71659.htmlIf no part of his nightmare occurs, I think, this is the first time in the BCS history that the clear #1 & #2 ranked teams will play in the ChampGame.
I seem to recall arguments over most , if not all the other games.
I personallly miss the mix of 11 Bowls to choose from on NYD (and about 21 for the week to ten days around some long forgotten segregationist holiday and NYD.)

I checked the rankings link above and the LSU Tigers are still at #3, but by a smaller margin over Penn St.
coincidentally, the Lady Tigers are currently ranked #3 in Women’s basketball.

#3 LSU trails #13 UGA by 2 TD’s at 11:50 to go in the 3rd Q.
1 USC vs # 2 UTX is all set.

LSU has Lost!!!
#5 VT trails unranked FSU early in the 3rd Q 3 - 17.

Upsets abound today except for #1 and #2.
VT might still tough it out.

Looks like FSU is going to hold on.

3 PSU vs. # 22 FSU Tied going into 3OT.
The heat of the Orange Bowl should be favorable to FSU as I listen on the radio, but FSU just had a field goal attempt bounce off of the upright.
With so many misses, the kickers are giving their old coaches heart attacks.

Texas is number 1 . get over anything other than that. Final score : texas 34 USC: 25

ok…. SO I WAS OFF JUST A LITTLE: Texas 41 USC 38 I knew we would win.

VERY nice win.
I don’t think that Texas knew they would win for a while there tho’ . . . . -
So CC how did that game rank with your “grey cup” thing 4 months ago? You like american football just a little bit more … eh?

Being from the A&M area, but still a Texan, I had a little heart in the game for the Longhorns. It’s been a while since I’ve watched any sports, but the bowl games this weekend were exciting. Now, if only the “Professional” athletes would play like the college guys, then maybe they’d be worth a fraction of what they really get paid.
However, that game could have gone either way. They are both great teams. There never is a number 1. It was an awesome game, and I’m glad it was so close.
