[pokerdirty]

Just as I was about to say Minnesota sucks, they run down the field with in the 10, and will probably score /images/graemlins/mad.gif

[Vince Young]

What an embarrassment of a college football Saturday.

[pokerdirty]

don't choke today vs OK ST...

but yeah, any time Northwestern is in one of the top 3 games of the day...

[Vince Young]

Hey, they finally let Ginn suit up?

[/ QUOTE ]

no [censored]. He had 2 returns for TDs last week, though one got called back due to a phantom call from the worst officiating squad ever.

It's funny, Tressel opens up his playbook, and the offense makes things happen. We've gone deep a few times today, with success (if only troy smith wouldn't throw balls behind or short...). And once he got conservative with the playcalling again (in the red zone on the second drive) we got stopped, and the field goal unit comes out. *yawn*

[Victor]

their d is getting torched. i know minn has a good o but is it really that good?

[pokerdirty]

bah, i don't know. the secondary is the one getting torched. i'd look for that to stop now.

[Victor]

except they gave up minn longest rush of the yr. look at how many rushing yards the gave up so far?

i'd be more concerned if they had been torched 8 times for 50 yards, but it was only once.

[pokerdirty]

great 4th and 1...

but a 3 and out for Minnesota! it's [censored] amazing!

[Victor]

troy smiths best career throw is called back.

WTF WAS THAT FACEMASK BULLSHIT

[pokerdirty]

now that i think about it, I hate Minnesota the most in the Big 10, next to Michigan of course. Especially Glen Mason. That whine fest he put on when he wanted John Cooper's job 5 years ago was sickening. Not to mention their uniforms are ugly. Take THAT!

[Victor]

haha. i agree. mason is a poon.

[Greg J]

Not a great week. Of course we have been spoiled by the last two weeks.

Being an LSU fan is giving me an ulcer! Anyone catch their last 2 games? Crazy.

Can anyone explain to me why Calhoun isn't getting more Heisman press? His numbers are insane.

(I know the reason -- lots of his numbers have been against a couple weak teams and we usually have an awesome o-line for backs to run behind, but still. 1600 yards and like 20 TDs.)

Funny, I said the same thing 3 weeks ago /images/graemlins/grin.gif

In all honesty, PSU looks like hell. Here's hoping JoePa earns his paycheck in the locker room during halftime. Lowry, hold onto the damn ball! Robinson, stop throwing like it's your first game. Tony, you might want to change your cleats, I'm pretty sure you tripped at least 4 times in the first half.

And yet, still up by 9? I'll take it.

Can all the Dawgs in the house say COMEBACK! Man, we really need Shockley. Still, they might pull it off.

And the new Florida uniforms are lame.

[pokerdirty]

remember when purdue was supposed to sneak in for the big 10 title due to their easy schedule? WTF happened? 0-5 conference record? yikes.

Damn, what we could have done with Shockley.

[censored] McClendon AND Coutu. I expect they will both be villified on campus come Monday. Choke.

Objectively, though, we are nowhere near the likes of Texas and USC and probably VT. So I'm not that upset. But part of me would have rather lost by 3 touchdowns. I hate when we lose like this.

We've got the #1 high school QB in the nation signing with us (Stafford) who will start over Joe T., and we also have another star running back. I can see a national championship run 2 years from now.

Don't worry, they'll come around.

I'm waiting. Vince Young is finally exposed as a mediocre QB that is real fast.

you do realize, if you look back through all your posts, you'll see close to 100 posts like this by you directed to me.

Before you can ask the others let me give you a list, please save it for future use, as I know your time is important and don't want you to have to waste it anymore in the future.

MEbenhoe's favorite teams:

MLB - Yankees and Brewers
NBA - Bucks
NFL - Packers and Chiefs
NCAA bball - Duke(although i cheer for wisconsin and marquette, as long as they're not playing duke)
NCAA football - Badgers (which should be painfully obvious having read any post by me on college football this season)

Good point, the commentators will be right back on his sack as soon as he "leads them back to victory" out of the mess he helped create, as always.

[Vince Young]

Yeah, he's been pretty awful tonight.

I don't know what game you were watching, but Young had a hell of a performance. 239 passing yards and 2 TD's together with 261 rushing yards and 2 TD's.

FWIW I'm pretty much on the sack of any QB who throws for 230+ and runs for 230+ in the same game.

[TomCollins]

I made that post when he was 5/17 for 55 yards with an INT and fumble against the worst team in the Big 12.

Because great players don't have awful performances. I wonder who's more of a moron. The idiot announcers on the balls of a guy who is having a great year both in the air and on the ground, giving his team a great shot at winning the National Title, or the idiot spectator who calls him out for "medicore QB that is fast" for having one bad half of football.

Hell, I'm even in the "Michael Vick is overrated" camp.

[pokerdirty]

rankings (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/rankingsindex) as they come available.

[TomCollins]

He's a great runner. Easily the best in college football. Much of that is due to the Longhorns O-Line, which is incredible and just tire out opponents.

As for passing, he is nothing special. He makes a lot of "superman" decisions that result in INTs and fumbles. The "superman" attitude results in huge numbers, both negative and positive. It works when playing against inferior opponents.

I don't think we'll even remember who Vince Young is 5 years from now though, unless its in the same breath as Ryan Leaf.

Alot of is based on losses isn't it? Is there a team ranked higher than them with 2 or more losses? Well, Michigan is getting some computer love with 3 losses, so there goes that theory.

Funny. The computers have Miami at around 13-14 and the voters have them at #5. There should never be this much discrepancy. I guess the computers don't factor in a team's history/name when doing these things.

[pokerdirty]

look at the breakdown by conference

Big 12
2 Texas (8-0)
15 Texas Tech (7-1)
22 Colorado (6-2)
25 Oklahoma (5-3)

SEC
4 Alabama (8-0)
8 LSU (6-1)
11 Georgia (7-1)
16 Florida (6-2)
20 Auburn (6-2)

ACC
3 Va. Tech (8-0)
6 Miami (6-1)
9 Florida State (7-1)

Big 10
7 Penn State (8-1)
10 Oh. State (6-2)
12 Wisconsin (8-1)
21 Michigan (6-3)

Pac 10

5 UCLA (8-0)
13 Oregon (7-1)
23 California (6-2)

Big East
17 West Virginia (6-1)
19 Boston College (6-2)

Others
14 Notre Dame (6-2)
18 TCU (8-1)

ESPNs laughable heisman voting (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/heisman/index)

[kyro]

You're gonna have to enlighten me because I don't see what this says. Is it favoring a conference or something? I'm clueless.

[pokerdirty]

yeah, i think the system is favoring the stronger conferences. Obviously, you have the undefeated teams at the top, but look at the teams with 1 and 2 losses. The teams in the SEC and Big 10 are ranked higher than teams in other conferences.
