College Football

Ya!!

Poor illini...if they could just score some TDs instead of field goals this would be a very good game. Each team has scored 5 tomes, put purdue has the TDs.

Yargh!!! Twice inside the 10 with no TD's. A gift-wrapped TD to Purdue on the first play of the game. A blocked FG. A touchdown given up where no one even covered the slot receiver. No clock-management skills whatsoever.

Illinois and Purdue are much closer in talent level than I think anyone suspected. If that weren't true, Illinois would have lost by 40 instead of 8, given all the stupidity! Plain and simple, Illinois didn't play a smart football game; Purdue did. Illinois loses and Purdue wins.

On the plus side, the weather was great. The Brats were delicious. The beer flowed like wine, and the wine flowed like beer.

Looks like Marshall will win the MAC this year after last night.

Conn vs. Pitt

Well I have to admit I was sceptical of Conn.., I mean cmon, this was Pitt not some Div AA team. I was wrong. The Conn team dominated where you would least expect a 4 year old team to, in the trenches. Their o-line totally kept the 2 smartest DT's in football (weel at least according to ESPN announcers) off of the QB, who didn't look great, but good enough to win. And their d-line played well and linebackers were all over.

Another great weekend of college football coming. woohoo

I watched more of the Navy v Air Force game. Very exciting. Kid hit his first field goal of the year to win in the final seconds fro Navy.

Air Force had a true Freshman QB come in that made it a game. A lot of fun.

Navy has two weeks to prep for Notre Dame, the Irish better be ready.

Irish need to be ready for Purdue this weekend, first. Not a lot of great match ups but hopefully a lot of really good games.

West Virginia in trouble...otherwise the early games are going as expected.

West Virginia in trouble...otherwise the early games are going as expected.

Yup. Including Purdue thumping Notre Dame (looks like the Nov. 13 Purdue-OSU game is a classic immovable object v. unstoppable force game), and my Orange squeeking by Rutgers (unfortunately; a blowout win would indicate the team is getting better, and a loss would speed Coach P out the door -- there's no upside to a 4th-quarter, come from behind win over a bad team unless you're good enough that a loss takes you out of the national tile/conference title hunt).

LSU got destroyed...the Auburn Tenn game is just looking bad for Tenn..

I just got back from the Boise State/SMU game. Pretty lackluster for Boise, but they still won easily. It really wasn't as close as the score (38-20). SMU was never really in it, even when the went up 7-0 early on.

But I'm completely bummed that Fresno lost. So much for the great Boise/Fresno match-up in three weeks.
