Had great seats at the ND/Purdue game today. More than a little uneven at times, but Crist is going to be just fine. The defense should be at least mediocre, which will be more than enough most games. As GR said, some dumb mistakes kept Purdue in it, but they were able to hold them off in the end. If Michigan really did teach Denard Robinson how to throw that game's gonna be difficult.

Announcers really need to quit pretending that there needs to be indisputable evidence to overturn a call. I think every single college football team has been screwed by now by a replay official applying very disputable evidence to overturn a call.

The ol' alma mater beat SE Missouri State 27-10 tonight, essentially without passing. We have 3 good running backs and no good quarterbacks, so why bother, I guess.
-
Makes sense - ND has a vested interest in helping out any school that wants to be a football independent, and BYU is a big step up from the WMUs and Tulsas of the world in terms of scheduling.
-
Seems to me that barring a surprise performance that those will basically be a pair of 3-team battles for division titles every year (presuming Michigan wakes up).

lol Because she's not on ESPN2 anymore. Or did I miss something?

Ward to ESPNU is a big boon to college football fans.

FIVE DAYS.

We still haven't scored a TD on offense. I really hope this doesn't bode ill for the season. On the bright side, Moore played a little better. Emphasis on 'little'.
-
They might as well lose to the Reds. I'd prefer not to have to watch St. Louis in the playoffs if at all possible. -
That Nate Davis bomb to Ted Ginn that traveled 65 yards in the air was pretty sweet to see.
-
The Panthers have scored precisely zero touchdowns on offense (15 points total) in 2 games, albeit against the Ravens and Jets. Matt Moore has been mediocre, Jimmy Clausen has been mediocre. The only silver lining is that neither Jonathan Stewart or Steve Smith has been playing so we're not throwing out our A team.
-
And with that I updated the first post with Week 1 AP rankings. Interestingly, no games involve ranked teams that didn't before, other than USC, of course.

Complete with hat-tip. -
Nevada also. So what happens to the rest of the WAC for football? They've only got six teams left. By rule leagues have to have eight teams. My guess is either the WAC or C-USA disintegrates, with one mostly absorbing the other. What a mess that would be. That's 18 teams from Hawaii to Florida. Yeah, 'mostly' I had to put in there because I have to believe that UCF and a couple more of the easternmost C-USA teams would move somewhere else, but I have no idea where.

Just when we thought the realignment was taking a break for a little bit...

ND vs IU in Conseco in Dec. 2011, then vs Purdue there in Dec. 2012 as part of the ND/IU/Purdue/Butler "Crossroad Series". I like this idea.

Chicago is not a capital city.

Don't really blame them for giving Molina a standing ovation. Heck, I would have done the same for Kyle Farnsworth in his first Wrigley appearance after he beat the heck out of Paul Wilson. I guess I can't really blame them too much, but you just know the people there love to take any chance they have to try to prove they're amazing fans. Even if it means giving their punk catcher a standing O for fighting.

BEST FANS IN BASEBALL!!!

Minor quibble, Len, but is sending the worst player on the Cardinals' 25-man roster to the DL really "serious damage"?
-
I think there's something to that. The biggest tantrum was still the litte exhibition that Carpenter put on the night before. Carpenter was still pissing and moaning about it today. Granted Phillips looks stupid today because the Reds got swept, but St. Louis has done nothing but prove his comments right.

Fontenot to Giants

You're basically criticizing yourself for not being That Guy that you always are. well, at least i beat you to it. Yes, because if I'm known for anything here it's for living by the stupid "everything bad of course will happen to the Cubs" mantra. I think he meant the criticizing people part. -
It is a dumb thing to say, but no different then when Lou got kicked out of the game a few years ago and the Cubs went on a huge run. The media and all the fans were saying Lou getting upset light a fire under the Cubs, but it had more to do with the Cubs being more talented then any team in the Central Division that year. No, not all the fans. Really, not even close to all of them. The Cubs didn't really take off until Aramis's walk-off against Milwaukee almost four weeks later.
