IU will regret turning none of those 3 field goals into touchdowns.

ESPN 360 rules.

This game is fun. More fun if IU can jump back into the lead. :)

this and the last 3 years. Yeah, that 10-3 team in 2006 whose losses were all to top 5 teams really looked like crap.

Our first game without Floyd, Armando Allen may be out, and Jimmy Clausen is not 100 percent. If ever there was a lucky week for a bad team to catch Notre Dame, this is it. Even when we beat Michigan State, they still find a way to piss me off.

It happens all the time.

I don't think anyone thinks Milton Bradley didn't act like an idiot this season. I think most of us (including myself) are pissed off at Jim Hendry for handling it like the little [expletive] that he is.

hey fans, look at jim hendry stick up for you...you don't want that guy fired, do you? I wonder if he has any sense that his job is on the line, or if this sucking up to the fans is just a way to make the decision easier. I don't see why he'd have to appeal to them right now regarding Bradley, everyone's about ready to stone him.

If Eastern Michigan can, you can.

Carolina sucks and will continue to suck. Dallas by 10 or more.

UK was PingHitter.

I'm not one of the massive DeRosa fanboys, but I think this is disingenuous. DeRo's been derailed by a wrist injury and that's still better than Bradley relative to their positions. Before his injury, DeRo was having another great year. derosa would have probably been playing rf had the cubs not signed bradley. Perhaps for about a month, but after it became clear the Mike Fontenot experiment was a horrible idea, he'd probably have ended up back at 2B. FWIW, we wouldn't have Jeff Baker then in that case.

Lee's second child was a son. Just saying.

Can't switch. Not an option.

I wouldn't doubt it, Floyd is great. Potential WR class next year with Bryant, Crabtree, and Floyd is pretty good. Followed by some smaller speed guys like Jordan Shipley and Golden Tate and there are a lot of options suddenly, plus a lot more I am not even thinking of. Floyd isn't even eligible to enter the draft until 2011 - he's a true sophomore. Makes his ridiculousness all the more impressive. I would be very surprised if Tate came out, but I guess wonders never cease. He reminds me a little of Steve Smith, but I don't think he's on that level. We'll see, though.

Honestly, I doubt if too much has. Bradley has no filter and I'd be surprised if he hadn't yapped if most anything of substance had happened.

The fact that our RF next year will be worse than Bradley says a hell of a lot more about the Cubs than it does about Milton.

Notre Dame will beat Purdue like 65 to 42 or something insane like that. Neither team can play defense. Which is probably a good thing for our first game without Floyd. FWIW, someone on an ND board claims to have heard via WLS radio that an NFL type told Floyd he'd be an elite NFL wideout right now. I don't doubt it. I've never seen a more fundamentally sound receiver at ND. He had surgery on his broken collarbone today and won't be back this regular season. He could return for the bowl game, but I'm not sure I even see the point of that - might as well take an extra year of eligibility, unlikely as it is that he'll use it. BSU/Auburn is going to be really painful.

Carolina has no defense. 59 points given up in three halves so far.

10-7 Panthers. Stewart and Williams spearheading that drive nicely.

Delhomme not sucking so far today. 3-0 Panthers. Richard Marshall intercepted Matt Ryan, but the Falcons just blocked a Carolina punt.

Yeah, PSU/Iowa and ND/Purdue were always the 8 pm games. PSU gets the ABC slot basically because they're the highest-ranked team of the four.

Notre Dame actually lost about half their votes. Guess the AP doesn't think much of MSU either.
