Its not over yet. If ND can stop them (which they have had a hard time doing) it could get very interesting!

Well, ND is gonna lose this one. They had a nice little run, and did alot better than anyone thought they would. Not gonna win em all. They just need to regroup and get ready for Washington. I tip my hat to MSU.

I think it crossed the plane, but I understand why they called it the other way. Regardless, on 1st down there was no need to not protect the ball and have three more attempts.

This officiated is terrible, for ND and MSU

Yes they do, and I thought the same thing.

They look real good, and ND looks real bad. Not a good combo (for me). Hopefully the 2nd half turns out better.

If ND can score here, go into the half with a lead they should be OK. (I hope)

That sucks. Center is not the easiest position to come off the bench and play. Any word if he'll be back?

17-14 NOTRE DAME!!!!! Hopefully the momentum stays on the Irish side.

MSU is having their way with ND :x

I am thourogly confused. I thought one of the moderators on here was Modzilla. I actually thought it was Tim. Now I learn that Modzilla is someone else? Who is this mysterious Modzilla?

Michigan is going to punish the fans who threw stuff during th 4th quarter of the ND game http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/football/ncaa/09/14/bc.fbc.t25.michigan.debris.ap/index.html

If by "those people" you were refering to OSU, then that was quite funny.

I think some people take their college football a little too seriously, or have just a little too much time on their hands. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=2161381

If I am reading this correctly are Big 10 officials told to make the wrong call and just use replay. Wasn't part of the reason replay was taken away in the first place because it was so time consuming? Also if it was so obvious on the field, why call it a fumble and hope that the booth will call to review it. If UM had hustled onto the field and snapped the ball, there could be no replay. Seems kind of like a bad idea to me, to call a fumble because that can be reversed, but being down can't be. PS this is in regards to Quinns fumble in the fourth quarter of the ND game I didn't see the fumble in question so I can't comment on that specific occurrence. It seems like what they are seeing is that if the refs are faced with a tossup decision where they aren't positive either way, to choose the play with the potential to be reviewed. From that point of view, they have just as much a chance of being right calling a fumble(since from what they see is basically a 50-50 call), and if they are wrong, the replay will show that. They still have the same 50 percent chance of being right by calling him down, but without the chance of ultimately checking the call that they were unsure of to begin with The play in question was obviously not a fumble. I belive even the announcers were confused, and as soon as they called it UM's ball they were saying he was obvioiusly down. I see what you are saying, and that does make sense, if the call could go either way. However wnen the ref tells the Coach not to worry, while the play is being reviewed, it is pretty obvious that the refs knew he was down as well. It just seems to me that if it was that obvious, then why call it a fumble in the first place? I don't think replay should be used to that extent. WHile it is nice to have, I would rather see the refs confident in the call they made, and not rely on the replay, only use it when it is absolutley necessary. (like Henne fumbling at the goal line :wink: )

Aramis for Pierre sounds like an amazing trade. Esp. if it frees up third base for Nomar. Why wasn't this done earlier? Why has Nomar played SS his whole career? Dusty really is one of the best managers since he found Nomar was being played in the wrong position his whole career. Plus, Aramis gets hurt way to much, and Nomar is definately going to be healed and injury free next year. We are being sarcastic right? If not disregard everything I just said.

Interesting; I lived in LaFollette during my four years there as an undergraduate. That is interesting. Are they just going to get rid of LaFollete. That takes up a pretty good amount of land. Also how are they fixing McKinley? Will the road finally go around the tower they built? That looked ridiculous the way it was set up. Also is the new parking garage on Calvert? I had some friends who lived there and our last year there BSU forced them to move out and tore down their house. Always wondered what ended up going there.

I wish Patterson had this same attitude.

I havent see PU play this year, but listened to some of a radio show about them today. I believe I heard they are running an option offense now. Is that true? I cant see tiller running much of the option. Also I am gonna root for PU so when ND comes into town hopefully it will be two unbeatens playing, making the game that much better.

Not happy about UCLA being favored?

UCLA -7 against OK. When was the last time OK was an underdog going into a regular season game? Some other interesting lines FSU +1 at BC ND -7 v MSU Miami -6.5 at Clemson Purdue -8 at Arizona Tennesse +4 at Florida

I may be wrong but I also think he had talked to Washington long before it was decided that he was going to leave ND.
