Oh man, Baylor will beat us by 60+

[Thed Hoyerstein]

This summer, the early line on the Northwestern-Iowa game was NW -17.5.

 

The line this morning has moved to Iowa -4.

That's what happens when you lose your 2 best offensive players and your backup QB panics against man coverage.

 

Ugh.

[Old Style]

Further proof that the NCAA is a joke. Miami will lose a total of 9 scholarships (3 per year for 3 years). That is the complete punishment handed down for their most recent scandal.

Well, to be fair, they also self-imposed 3 years of bowl bans while waiting for a decision.

[Old Style]

I thought it was just the previous 2 years.

You're right. I thought I saw 3 years somewhere but that was wrong.

[Andy]

Tommy Rees cleared to practice today and expected to start at Air Force. Never thought I'd be so happy to see him behind center.

Northwestern blows

[Careless]

Northwestern blows

So does Nebraska. And possibly the entire Big 10

[Guest]

Nebraska in the post-Solich era is pretty much Iowa, for better or worse. I wonder how many more years it will take for perception to catch up.

[Andy]

Florida St leads NC State 28-0. Nine minutes into the game.

[rawaction]

Florida St leads NC State 28-0. Nine minutes into the game.

And they look bored doing it.

I think more than usual there are a few really good teams and a bunch of meh afterwards. B1G has none of those really good teams

[Careless]

So did Florida State pull its starters after the first quarter, or what?

[Guest]

Well, if Oregon is getting 66-yard fake punts after UCLA gets a 3-and-out, this is going to be ugly.

[Old Style]

OU hands Texas Tech their first loss of the season. Now for someone to do the same to Baylor.

in your face

[Careless]

Penn State just took a timeout with 15:00 left in the third quarter.

[CubInOK]

So Baylor put up 700+ yards of offense again. Ho hum.

It's not going to be Kansas.
