College Football - Week of 9/22

[CDBears1259]

Just got my tickets to the USC v. LSU game. Thank the Lord for handicapped seating. WooHoo.

[Flames24Rulz]

They handled it in a brutal way. Just let him go and get rid of scholarship. There, what's so hard about that? They said they weren't going to take his scholarship away and now they say they will, but they have to have a list of teams that they would accept? I've never heard of anything like this in transfer situations.

 

You obviously haven't seen Pete Carroll at work.

 

Yeah, not sure how I missed that one. I'd also like to try to not compare the two because I actually like Charlie Weis while I can't stand Carroll at all.

 

Well, looks like ND changed their minds:

Quote:

Notre Dame released quarterback Demetrius Jones from his scholarship and cleared the final obstacle from his path to Northern Illinois. Or wherever he ultimately decides to go.

 

There, what was so hard about that? :wink:

Thank goodness Sutton will return for this game. He's definitely been missed, mostly because of our fear of running the ball. Sure the offensive line sucks, but they're not good at pass protection, either. I really miss the days of our 2000 run-first spread. There's no reason Bacher should be passing 50+ times a game.

 

I'd love to see the defense's numbers by half. They'd probably be ranked last in the country in the first half and in the top 25% in the second half. They can't afford to suck it up tomorrow, especially when they won't have a chance to get into the backfield.

 

But really I'm mostly just looking forward to watching the 2000 NU/Michigan game several times next week on the BTN.

Every other TEAM in the BCS has had an away game with a non league foe.

Stupid A teams. I started at the end of the alphabet and didn't finish the list! Still, 1 PAC 10, I'm just amazed how the SEC can do that and no one notices.

 

KU also has none. And the caliber of the non-league foes we're playing is...not great.

[soccer10k]

Just saw a report that said Mallett will start for UM against PSU tomorrow.

[da bears]

go tigers! time to start drinking. unfortunately my stupid business frat has us work a concession stand for funds once a year. this is the game i have to work, although i did sign up for this. still, i hate wasting a game even if it is illinois state.

 

somehow my tickets are first row at the 30. i ended up doing the group ticket application and i turned it in on the last day due but somehow we got first row at the 30. im thinking the guy who does the drawing is an arrested development fan because our team name was gobias industries. anyways, i know you all care so much about this, so ill stop writing this. go tigers wooo wooooooooooo!

[Post Count Padder]

I'm hoping for a win today.

Praying for a redux of this

Stupid Big Ten Network. For some reason I thought the Illinois game was on ESPN2.

[SouthSideRyan]

Awesome picture Andy.

The only thing I have on right now is the 2 Big East games on ESPN. I live 20 frickin miles from Champaign.

[BigSlick]

I can't see the game, but judging from Juice's statline he's played terribly

 

We had a 12 play touchdown drive consisting only of running plays, WHY AREN'T WE STILL DOING THAT?

Yep. Pretty sweet that we can't get any Big Ten games right now even though we live in Big Ten country. Thanks Big Ten Network. :evil:

Should there be just as much, or more blame on whatever cable company you have?

Haha, Juice immediately marches the team downfield and throws for a TD.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Ole Miss is hanging with Florida in the early going. :shock:

[CubColtPacer]

How bad of a team is Louisville this year?

 

3 weeks in a row:

 

Give up 42 to MTSU

lose to Kentucky

 

Now they are down 21-7 to an awful Syracuse team at halftime at home. I fully expect they'll come back and win the game, but I'm not sure Louisville is a top 25 team this year.

[louisvillecub]

Syracuse is spanking Louisville right now at halftime. Fans booed the Cards off the field. This team is pathetic... Petrino picked the right time to get out of town. Jeez... :evil:

I can't express how happy I'd be.

They'll still beat us by 50. Sorry.

 

I'm not at the game because I have no intention of watching that slaughter.

Brian Brohm is losing millions as we speak.

I've already given all the hatred I can to freaking Comcast. Can't fault them for not wanting to charge all their customers more money just so they can watch the same football games they've been getting for years.

[OleMissCub]

why? I'm lazy and don't want to look it up.

My cable company is a for profit company. The Big Ten Network is a bunch of non-profit Schools, taking advantage of cheap labor, to turn a profit.
