Damnit Lydell, just hit the freakin' hole!

Sorry.

As long as he holds onto the ball. At least we were the ones getting the turnovers this week.....

I have to admit Purdue looks impressive. Exlposive offense and solid defense so far. Orton looks good. They won't get tested until they play newly revived Notre Dame (sorry rogueattorney Illinois won't be much of a test next week) so we will see.

Yeah, It'll probably look like they're running a scrimmage... 10 yard run, 12 yard pass, 7 yard run, 15 yard pass, 8 yard run, 22 yard pass, Touch Down. Illinois will need a near perfect offensive performance and some PU turnovers to keep it reasonably interesting.

At least the weather will be good for tailgating.

Damnit Lydell, just hit the freakin' hole!

Sorry.

Me thinks Pittman may get more time against Northwestern. We'll see.....

I'm hoping Brandon Joe will be healty by then. He is potentially the hammer that this team needs right now.

BTW Lookin towards the future, word out of CJ is that Ringer's grade situation is coming along nicely.

Interesting article on NCAA eligibility: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6075252/

First sentence sums it up:

NCAA football players could have five seasons of eligibility and would be allowed to transfer once without penalty if two new proposals are approved next year.

Any chance Houston pulls an upset tonight?

Can Houston pull an upset tonight? Does UNH, MAine, Troy sound dangerous? Prolly not to the teams they played before they upset them. That being said, I would take Miami w/ the points if I was a betting man, which I am. I usually like teams vs. miami w/ the spread because if Miami is winning, you'll see 3rd and 4th team and even walk-ons get some serious playing time. Coker likes to play everybody, which is a big reason the team has played well year after year.

Seems we have some Big 10 guys here. You gotta love the Big 10 atmosphere and fall football weather. MAn is it hot down here. Havent been many Big 10 games on TV in miami this year. Have not seen purdue or Minn play yet. Have seen Mich/Notre Dame and Ohio St/NC St. Both were good games w/ great atmosphere.

I love college football!

I'd love to see Houston take down Miami, we rarely get to see a top notch program lose to on of the underrated smaller schools.

Big Ten football is great, and iut onlky gets better with the coming fall. They need more bowls up here though that will never happen.

Big Ten football is great, and iut onlky gets better with the coming fall. They need more bowls up here though that will never happen.

... and I'd only support a few more northern-tier bowls (presumably held in St. Louis, Minneapolis, Detroit or Indy, where there are handy domed stadiums used by the NFL) if that meant taking bowls away from some place else. The Big East is hoping to set up a bowl game in NYC if the Jets get a the new stadium they've been angling for (though I don't know if they get it unless NYC gets the 2012 Olympics, which they probably won't).

 

[Crothian]

Bah...forget the domed stadiums...I want bowls in the Big House, at the Horseshoe, and other large outside stadiums. I don't see why the bowls have to be in the south.
