btw wazzu has given up more than 400 yards of rushing, including 220 yards in 12 carries to baylor's leading rusher and their second-leading rusher has 120 yards on 10 carries. is there ANY chance that they win a pac 10 game? they go to two of the worst teams in the conference (oregon st, stanford) and play arizona at home - maybe like a 10% chance at winning? but seriously, next week (portland st) may well be their only chance to win a game all year. (i'm assuming that their last game against hawai'i, they'll just hang out on the beach and then make their token appearance to lose on saturday).

At least they got blown out on the road today to Baylor. Imagine losing 66-3 at home...and it was at the hands of Cal. What's USC going to do them?

well, i had to miss the game, but that's a bummer. What really pisses me off is that the experts will use this as proof that KU is a sham, as if losing to a ranked team on the road is something to be embarrassed about. Would have loved that game, though. Now we really have to man up in the Big XII.

It'll be an interesting afternoon at Ryan Field. We've already received over 2 inches of rain so far in Evanston and it's going to get worse and likely stay worse through at least most of the game. Hopefully the lightning stays away.

in seattle, there's a term for what wazzu will be doing this year: "cougin' it."

This is going to be fun. There's flooding throughout the north suburbs and the rain recently turned from merely heavy to downpour. Looking at the radar, it's not going to let up here for a while.

 

At least my shoes are already soaking wet from walking back from the gym. Don't have to worry about that.

Man Missouri's offense is scary good, They are up 14-0 after 3 minutes.

 

The Maclin catch and run just now (or atleast the replay of it) looked sick.

I'm not OSU apologist, but I found this pretty funny:

 

Rule 1: When USC dominates the Pac-10, it's because USC is awesome. When Ohio State dominates the Big Ten, it's because the Big Ten sucks.

 

Rule 2: Losing at home to a 41-point underdog is forgivable. Losing at home to a nine-win team is not.

 

Rule 3: Other programs merely lose games. Ohio State gets 'exposed.'

 

Rule 4: Come to think of it, Ohio State really didn't belong in the BCS Championship Game in 2006, even though they were the only undefeated team in major-college football and held the consensus number-one ranking going into the game.

 

Rule 5: The Big Ten-SEC debate can be decided solely on the basis of Ohio State's record against SEC opponents, and Ohio State's only. The fact that Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota all have multiple victories over SEC teams in bowl games this decade is utterly irrelevant.

 

Rule 6: Ohio State can only get to the BCS title game if it beats USC on the road. Of course, once the Buckeyes get to the BCS title game, they'll be 'stomped', 'pummeled' and 'embarrassed', even though they were good enough to beat USC on the road.

 

Rule 7: Ohio State's schedule is a joke, other than that road game at USC. Jackie Kennedy also enjoyed her trip to Dallas, other than that thing with her husband.

 

Rule 8: Ohio State is the 'Buffalo Bills of college football' since 2002 never happened; that entire season was actually put together in a TV studio, like the moon landing.

 

Rule 9: Since the nation is tired of seeing Ohio State get killed in the BCS title game, a one-loss Buckeye team should be passed over in favor of, among others, Oklahoma, which has lost four straight BCS games by an average margin of sixteen points.

 

Rule 10: Ohio State is slow, over-rated, under-scheduled, and generally sorry, yet the SEC's domination of the Buckeyes tremendously enhances that conference's prestige.

 

Rule 11: There is no difference between the 2006 and 2007 BCS title-game losses. None. They're the exact same game.

 

Rule 12: LSU earned that magical five-spot bump in the BCS ranking prior to the 2007 title game. Only Ohio State backed in.

 

Rule 13: Curb-stomping a one-dimensional WAC team playing 4,000 miles from home makes Georgia the most bad-assed juggernaut on the planet. Losing to a senior-laden SEC powerhouse in for all intents and purposes its own building makes Ohio State an absolute fraud.

 

Rule 14: Ohio State loses the BCS title game every year, 'every year' being the last two whole entire years.

 

Rule 15: If Vanderbilt were in the Big Ten, the Commodores would be firmly ensconced in the upper echelon of the conference right out of the chute. We're talking Alamo Bowl year-in, year-out, at a minimum.

 

Rule 16: If Ohio State were in the SEC, the Buckeyes would be Vanderbilt. To be fair, so would Oklahoma, USC, and the 1999 Rams.

 

Rule 17: Fans of every SEC school have a perfect right to latch on to the feats of Florida and LSU and treat them as their own. That includes talking message-board smack to Buckeye fans, even if their own school hasn't been to the Sugar Bowl since Admiral Farragut ran the forts below New Orleans.

 

Rule 18: If Kirk Herbstreit keeps up his compensatory genuflecting toward the Southeastern Conference for long enough, maybe the honks below the Mason-Dixon Line will forget that he played quarterback for Ohio State (after a fashion) and wanted a Buckeye-Wolverine re-match in '06.

 

Rule 19: Rich Rodriguez will bring speed and offensive innovation to the benighted Big Ten, which apparently was still wearing leather helmets, running the Single-Wing, employing tackles as straight-ahead kickers, and using an inflated pig's bladder for a football in the medieval days B.D. (Before Dick-Rod).

 

Rule 20: Ohio State has to run the table and beat an SEC opponent in the title game- not just any opponent, but an SEC opponent- or its National Championship doesn't actually count. The title is automatically ruled vacant and decided, by a vote of all 119 1-A schools, between the champion of the SEC, God's Gift to Conferences, and USC, which, of course, will be 'playing its best football at the end of the season.' Ohio State gets a vote, just in case you think this method is unfair.

Mizzou making it look easy again. 24-7 early 2nd quarter. 24 points in just over 8 minutes of possession. Daniel's 9/11 for 179 and 2 TD'd.

This Maryland-Cal game is very, very surprising. Maryland beat Delaware by 7. They then lost to MTSU. So now they play Cal and are leading 28-6? The ACC is confusing.

 

Cal is very inconsistent.

how has missouri given up 17 points in one half to nevada

It's aggravating. Our pass defense needs some work. But at the same time... we also scored 38 in one half against Nevada. So clearly it's not a big deal.

Over the past 5 years few teams have been more disappointing than Cal.
