  1. Spectacularly bad job by Cowan. They better hope the defense can stiffen up again.
  2. Well that pretty well settles it. It wasn't just Brady Quinn that was being protected by bogus late-hit calls, that's definitely a nationwide epidemic by now.
  3. Oh geez, this is a crap late-hit call.
  4. Wow, Dorrell doesn't want to throw the ball. Looking good right now though.
  5. Wow, that was an unforgivably bad play-call. Bruins can really put the heat on if they can put it in the end zone here.
  6. How does that help ND? Michigan State did play well enough to win that game. They were also a bad team. That doesn't help ND's reputation much. The only reputation I see that ND has on this board is the team nobody likes. :D
  7. I've seen UCLA play two games this year and for the life of me I can't see why they weren't Pac-10 contenders. They've looked really good against both ND and USC. And Davie needs to stop talking about Notre Dame.
  8. Not a forward pass????
  9. And if JLS had any ability to rebound from a tough loss at all and MSU had played even close to that well in future games, they'd have won at least three more games and been a strong bowl team. But then again, the devil's in the if's. The loss to Notre Dame didn't have that much to do with John L. Smith. That was almost all Stanton. Michigan State a 7 win team? They only looked pretty good against Eastern Michigan at home. That was about it. They then looked either terrible or bad during every single Big Ten game. Michigan State may have played Notre Dame well, but they were not a decent team by any stretch of the imagination. That's the point. They should have been. If you can play that well against ND, why the hell can't you get it up to play well against Illinois, Indiana, etc? That was my point. Shouldn't an entire Big Ten season of play carry more wieght than three quarters in a non-con game? Of course it should. I'm not saying it doesn't. The point is that Michigan State played well against ND, so to say they barely escaped a "crappy" Michigan State team, while technically true, shadows the fact that the Spartans played well enough to win that game.
  10. That is why you don't go for it a couple of minutes ago.
  11. Why did Nessler do the ACC title game? That guy should be the No. 1 play by play guy.

  13. You can't go for it. You have to take the lead and trust your D that has done so well thus far. 10-9 Bruins.
  14. The most absurd part of that isn't the fact that all those Duke games are on ESPN but that they're showing it during an ILLINOIS-ARIZONA GAME.
  15. In hell, they play that USC song they play all the time on loop. True story.

  17. USC just looks plain bad right now.
  18. Do you guys get the ball to start the 2nd half? No. Damn.
  19. ST. LOUIS (-6.5) over Arizona NEW ENGLAND (-13.5) over Detroit San Diego (-6) over BUFFALO NEW ORLEANS (-7) over San Francisco CHICAGO (-9) over Minnesota Kansas City (-5) over CLEVELAND Atlanta (+2) over WASHINGTON NY Jets (-1.5) over GREEN BAY Indianapolis (-7.5) over TENNESSEE Houston (+3) over OAKLAND Jacksonville (+1.5) over MIAMI Dallas (-3.5) over NY GIANTS PITTSBURGH (-7) over Tampa Bay Seattle (+3) over DENVER Carolina (-3) over PHILADELPHIA

  21. I'm all for saying ND just isn't that good. Our opponents sure seem to want people to think that based on the crapfests that GT and USC are submitting. Maybe it's just true. ND barely beat a horrible Michigan State. They've been beated by the only good opponents. I just don't see anything to justify ND being all that good. Georgia Tech is the only decent team they've played, and GT is no great shakes. I'm not even going to dignify Michigan State. You and everyone else know the Spartans played better in the first 3 quarters of that game than most teams have played all year. It's not our fault JLS can't coach a team with a big lead, nor can he recover from a tough loss. GT I'll give you, that was a rough performance for ND, but everyone else was playing I-AA teams that week so it's hard to hate on them too much for it. Maybe Michigan State looked so well is because ND just isn't that good. Maybe, but I seriously doubt it. Moo did this in 2005 too, remember - play out of their heads against ND and crap out the rest of the season.

  24. Somehow, someway, despite the Sycamores shooting 61 percent from the field (63 from 3) in the 2nd half compared to 41 (29 from 3) for BSU, the Cards pull out a 73-70 win over Indiana State in overtime. The officiating in this game rivals the worst reffing job I've ever seen in my life, but D'Andre Peyton's 3-ball with 12 seconds left gets the job done anyway. Next up is what should be top-15 ranked Butler at Hinkle on Wednesday, and I'm going.
  25. I'll do you one better. If USC loses it would guarantee the rematch. It shouldn't but it would.
