  1. attaboy zooker
  2. georgia got boned on the roughing the passer call during that drive
  3. North Texas 49 Navy 45 AT HALFTIME
  4. that's the right strategy but even a lousy passer like juice can pick apart a secondary that's 10 yards away from every eligible receiver.
  5. haha awesome... cmon illinois dont piss this away
  6. i liked that play at the end of the half in the auburn-uga game, the punter totally took a dive and one ref told him to get up while the other said he'd get an unsportsmanlike penalty if he does it again.
  7. Really? shows what i know... still the zooker will find a way to blow it, i think
  8. hahaha of course ucla is beating arizona state
  9. haha kansas ran it up on nebraska so now nebraska is running it up on kansas state... 66-17 nebraska and their last two touchdowns were thrown by their starting qb (who has 7 td passes)
  10. okay ohio state game is over
  11. by the way it's whining, not whinning
  12. They're playing without their 4-year starting QB and their heisman-candidate RB. They also are playing with a rookie QB who doesn't have a clue. Not many teams would be very good under these circumstances. wasn't he one of the top 5 qb recruits last year? shouldn't he have a clue? i guess maybe he was just overrated.
  13. well whatever, they shouldn't call that... if you're gonna call that then just put the QB in a bubble or put a red jersey on him and make it two-hand touch for the quarterbacks.
  14. that's what's on... plus I live in big ten country and the wake forest - clemson game is not exactly competitive
  15. nice pushoff there arrington
  16. boy i'm glad i don't bet on sports, i would've lost a lot on purdont. they suck.
  17. no comment Dude, I'm not a Wisconsin fan, despite living in Madison. Defender clearly caught that and the receiver reached in afterwards. yeah i know
  18. no comment
  19. could be, but how locked in are the non-BCS bowls to their conference/place of finish tie-ins? Oh, not at all, after the BCS bowls. "Big Ten #3" basically means "the 3rd-most interesting Big Ten team". And barring a miracle Illinois is finishing in 3rd place in the Big Ten anyways. Well, tied for third anyway. After Illinois loses this week they'll have three losses, and I'll assume they beat Northwestern. Purdont should beat Michigan State this week; next week's game at Indiana is kind of a tossup. Wisconsin probably loses this week against Michigan, which would give them four losses. Penn State has one conference game left, at Michigan State. So... Illinois finishes with three losses, Purdue and Penn State will have either three or four. The thing is, if Penn State has three losses (same as Illinois) then they'll definitely go to a better bowl than Illinois, so the fact that Illinois beat Penn State pretty much means nothing. Why? long history of their fans traveling well to bowl games Doesnt matter, Truffles math is off anyway. If U of I loses this weekend it will give them 4 losses not 3. But the Illini have a pretty good followinf also, see Sugar Bowl in 2001. I was referring to Big Eleven losses, not overall losses, which aren't relevant unless the team has lost so much in non-conference play that they're at or below .500 on the season. Regardless of whether Illinois travels well, Penn State will go to a better bowl if both teams finish with three B11 losses. Penn State will travel better, and they'll draw better television ratings. It may not be fair - in fact it's probably not - but that's how teams are chosen. If Penn State has the same record as OSU or Michigan, those teams would more often than not get the nod.
