Bleh.

Heh. I've said since they lost to USC last year that they should just wear the green jerseys againts Army just to end the losing streak. But I'm surprised as well. And 4 passes in, Brady Quinn throws a pick. His 1st INT since the 1st quarter of Michigan State way back on Sept. 23rd. He'd been 45 more pickless attempts away from breaking Trent Dilfer's NCAA record. Stupid green jerseys. They look really freakin sharp but they just aren't worth the hassle...

ND's wearing green jerseys. A "tribute" to the seniors. Color me confused.

I voted for apple, but really, you can't go wrong with most any pie.

This is getting depressing. The Bulls either need to sweep the next two games (Lakers and Nugs) or really find themselves in a bind.

Welcome to the boards!

Barrett is more valuable at C than Vernon is at CF. Besides, there's still a chance the Cubs can sign Drew and we wouldn't have to give up Barrett.

:?: Hoyer is at quarterback. Reed is a wide receiver. That would be my MSU knowledge, everyone. Enjoy the expertise.

Kerry Reed is playing for MSU, so obviously Stanton is still not recovered from his dizziness last week. They still lead 7-0.

Cats.

Same for me: as much as it hurts, let's go Michigan and let's go USC tomorrow! I think Ohio State and USC will probably win, but the difference between the teams is so slight that the games could really turn out in just about every different way possible. I can't believe I'm rooting for Michigan and USC in the same weekend. Just to put a cherry on top of the madness I'm rooting for F$U too. This is probably the most surreal college FB weekend of my life, and ND's not really even involved. I'm not sure how you can say with a straight face that ND is not involved. Isn't this all about ND? Well, yes, but they're not directly involved is what I meant. Unless they let Army play them tough (unlikely).

I like American cheese on most sandwiches and cheddar on hot dogs, so I just voted American.

I thought Nevin was a good clubhouse guy? Maybe he doesn't like the press all that much. If that is the case, then I don't blame Nevin at all. Yeah, I think Bruce's thing was that Nevin had a very haughty attitude with reporters. He mentioned Nevin having the "I'm a jock, you're not" kind of thing going on". The only other thing I've heard about Nevin is that he tends to gripe if he's not a regular. If he didn't gripe about being benched for John Freaking Mabry half the time (and there's nothing to suggest he did), I can't imagine he'd be complaining about sitting behind DLee.

Offhand, probably because Novoa couldn't net us Cotts.

I have been to two Michigan games this year, when they played ND and Ball State respectively. In both games, I have told the people I am with that you can count on Chad Henne throwing one indescribably bad pass per game. Henne has thrown an indescribably bad pass for an interception within 3 plays of me saying that each time.

Westbrook and Lilly please I'd much rather Cotts start than Meche. But give me Westbrook.

The answer is Coke. Pepsi tastes like someone dumped a bucket of salt into Coke. But I love Mountain Dew, so I don't want PepsiCo to go under.

I prefer chocolate milk, but for my cereal, I like 2 percent. I see some of you drink 1 percent. Is that because you think you're fat? ...cause you're not. You could be drinking whole if you wanted to.

I know! And Charles immediately follows that up by making a comment about "women can't be considered great jocks" that I'm sure will be skewered tomorrow. This is ridiculous. No team speed whatsoever.

Haha, that's really quite pathetic. And considering all the talk radio hosts over the last 10 months falsely calling the Fiesta Bowl of last year a "beatdown" even though the game was in doubt until the very end, you'd think this guy would at least call in to one of THOSE shows, rather than worry about a game that was pretty much over in the 2nd quarter. What would you call last years OSU/ND game then if it wasn't a beat down? 617-348 total yards including a 275-62 rushing advantage. Troy Smith threw for over 300 yards and Pittman ran for over 100. Plus OSU turned the ball over twice and ND didn't at all. One of those turnovers was a Troy Smith fumble at the ND 9 yard line. The score of that game should have been much worse than it was. At the least it should be called a very convincing victory. Michigan outgained Ball State 507-297 on Nov. 4th and won the game by 8, and were 2 yards away from a possible tie game. Is that a beatdown? I could care less about any statistic other than the score when it comes to a football game. Could've would've should've means about as much in football as it does in any other sport - bupkus. So a game that ends with one team winning by three touchdowns but was back and forth the whole game - like no team led by more than 7 until late in the fourth quarter - would be considered a beatdown? You can't look at just the score when determining how dominant one team was in a game because one statistic does not tell you the whole story. Of course the score doesn't tell the whole story. But you simply cannot call a game that was in doubt until 2 minutes were remaining a beatdown (which, if I'm not mistaken, is the exact same point you are making), no matter what the stats say. You can say one team outplayed another, and clearly OSU outplayed ND in this case. You can even say they did it by a fairly wide margin. But if they weren't good enough to avoid turning the ball over twice and close out those drives, then you can't say they "beat down" their opponent.

If WVU loses this game, any chance Rutgers has of making the title game goes out the window. And that's a shame.

If it's for less than Blanco's deal, I'm going to kill Hendry. And I'd bet it is.

Wow, brilliantly done.
