I've got to hand it to the tOSU fans. They do travel well. I just got back from a trip into Austin, and they are present is huge numbers. In fact, I just drove past the Salt Lick, and there were three busloads of people in red and grey waiting to eat.

Wow, PSU is outplaying ND in my opinion and not getting ANY breaks at all.

Not sure how many they have, but Clemson seems to be firing on all their cylinders.

You are not trying to say that was a penalty or anything are you?

Rutgers starts 2-0, where i would have been happy with a 1-1 start. I think this raises the potential ceiling to 10-2 for their regular season.

UNC and Illinois will win 2 games combined this year. That's like hanging your hat on the floor.

Haha, yeah right. Well, I figured this would happen. The defense has been playing fairly well all half, but the offense keeps on blowing it and now the floodgates open.

I didnt brag about either win. I simply mentioned that looking at their schedule, i now think 10-2 is possible whereas i thought 9-3 was the best possible outcome previously.

so blow me.

You're right. It cannot be that ND is just that much better a team than Penn State. It is just the mistakes.

Beat me before I changed it. Penn State had three turnovers, a botch field goal and can't seem to get good field position on special teams. Notre Dame is playing better, but I don't think it's solely the D's fault.

GT has the worst QB in college football. He has a career completion rate of 44%, and has made major mistakes on a colossal scale (like throwing a ball away in the final seconds of the Georgia game, only to realize it was fourth down and he threw the game away). It would be hard to find anyone dumber than Reggie Ball that can find his way to a stadium.

Next to Brent Musburger, Paul Maguire has to be the worst announcer in football. It doesn't matter who you put in the booth with him, he just sucks.

No it isn't.

There's at least two people wearing headsets dumber than Reggie Ball standing on the same sideline with him.

You obviously didnt see the 2 pathetic ass QBs that North Carolina sent out on the field today against Virginia Tech.

Mason Crosby just kicked a 61 yarder for Colorado, but it was whistled dead because CSU called a timeout right before the snap.

And the icing worked. He missed attempt #2 badly. The first one cleared the crossbar by 15 feet.

And...here comes OT #2...barely lol.

If Iowa loses this one, today could be one of the darkest days in the history of the Big Ten.

Iowa is showing some outstanding goal line D in this OT. There has been 8 straight snaps inside the 5, and they've kept the Orangemen out. 4 and game from the 1 coming up.
