1/2
...that’s the joke.
September 25th, 2010 at 12:16 pm
Let’s hope that Michigan’s defense bothers to show up today against Bowling Green.
Winning Progressive
September 25th, 2010 at 12:24 pm
the heisman trophy is another thing in sports ruined by espndisney, it used to be that the heisman trophy winner was a great football player. now its a publicity stunt, with a great, or what can be sold to the audience as great, back story, i am looking at you ttboy.
guys with huge holes in their game win the award because they are productive on a winning team. personally i have declared a 1 year moratorium on watching the sec conference, based on how they slobbered over their home-schooled, jebus loving, great white hope…
anyway watching iowa play ball st., though i enjoy watching ga tech because that offense is fun to watch.
September 25th, 2010 at 12:29 pm
21-0 Michigan! So far, so good. Go Blue!
Winning Progressive
September 25th, 2010 at 12:38 pm
@fucen tarmal:
Well, that’s just a shame,
‘cause if you leave out the SEC you miss a lot of fine football and one or two Heisman candidates I can think of off hand.. I think your moratorium is somewhat misguided. I didn’t notice SEC defenses showing ‘Marjoe’ Tebow any particular reverence. I think it was the media that did most of the slobbering. Gotta get back to my tamales! Go Hawgs!
September 25th, 2010 at 12:46 pm
Heading to a friend’s house to watch the Cougs get slaughtered by the University of Spoiled Children. I suppose this means I’ll have to get dressed soon…
September 25th, 2010 at 1:43 pm
Depends on the extension/repeal of the Bush tax cut.
September 25th, 2010 at 1:46 pm
@2th&nayle:
and you would be surprised at how much well-played football goes on at schools outside the the sec. i also find it appealing that some places refuse to join the financial insanity that says we have to increase the athletics budget, to as much as we can bring in, because if we don’t, we won’t be able to afford athletics, oh and academics too.
the sec has taken a cold war arms race mentality to college football, its ruining the sport by limiting the number of competitive games amongst equally matched teams, from comparably sized programs…i don’t care about bowls, or subjective rankings, at least in figure skating and platform diving the subjectivity is up front.
September 25th, 2010 at 1:48 pm
Early games today are boring, unless you have a vested interest.
Why don’t the Wolverines join the MAC or drop to 1AA. That’s what they seem to want, based on their scheduling. UMass last week, Bowling Green today. That’s some tough warmup for the Big10 season, I’ll tell ya’.
Come to think of it, the late games are boring, too. I mean, UCLA? C’maaan.
And here in New England, it got to the mid-80s today. Down where my daughter lives (DC area) 90s. Not football weather.
September 25th, 2010 at 2:15 pm
Oh, and BC is continuing its once-a-generation-we-get-a-quarterback-who-can-actually-play pattern by not having a quarterback who can tell the maroon jerseys from the white ones, again.
I swear, Frank Beamer could suit up a bunch of middle-school kids and beat BC. Its just “a thing.”
Its tough having only two BCS teams in all of New England.
September 25th, 2010 at 2:26 pm
The Wolverines are giving up 21 points to Bowling Green???? Can someone send their backup defensive players to Ann Arbor? They’d probably do better than what we have out there right now.
At least our offense is looking good, even with Denard injured.

Go Bulls! Beat Western Kentucky! Damn Hilltoppers
September 25th, 2010 at 2:42 pm
@fucen tarmal: Oh, I agree with your point. There is a lot of good football outside the SEC. I’m just sayin’ what I’m sayin’. You boycott the SEC and you miss a lot of quality college football (as well as basketball, baseball, track, golf, tennis…. well, you get my point). Gotta run. Kickoff in 40 min. Go Hawgs! Go Hawks!
September 25th, 2010 at 2:54 pm
Talk about an “enthusiasm gap!”
This post went up at 12:15 and this is only the 15th comment?
Arkansas is up on the Sabans. One can only hope…
(Don’t much care about Arkansas, but I always like to see the biggest boys beaten).
September 25th, 2010 at 4:37 pm
@efgoldman:
But Mallett just missed a wide-open guy in the endzone and got picked.
September 25th, 2010 at 4:41 pm
@efgoldman: Good.
September 25th, 2010 at 4:42 pm
@efgoldman:
And McElroy did the same thing at the other end, when ‘Bama had at least a sure three to tie.
September 25th, 2010 at 4:52 pm
wow..just wow
September 25th, 2010 at 5:06 pm
Lonely here in f’bawl land today.
September 25th, 2010 at 5:30 pm
@efgoldman:
And they just dropped in the UCLA-TX score. UCLA 20-3.
Did I say “boring” upthread? I take it back.
September 25th, 2010 at 5:46 pm
Can the Hogs do it?
(Did everyone go Galt today?)
ETA: No, they can’t.
September 25th, 2010 at 6:49 pm
@Mark S.:
Wait. They’re talking about Mallett as a first overall draft choice?
Don’t think so.
Yeah, ‘Bama’s a terrific team. And Mallett wasn’t responsible for thwarting those two super running backs. But still…
I mean, the kid’s got to be able to throw it the bleep away when that’s what he needs to do.
September 25th, 2010 at 6:52 pm
UCLA playing pure hell against teams from Texas this season.
September 25th, 2010 at 6:54 pm
First overall? I doubt that.
September 25th, 2010 at 6:56 pm
3 INT’s against Bama just ain’t gonna get it done young man.
September 25th, 2010 at 6:57 pm
@Mark S.:
Speculation is all. I’m not a draftnik.
But Corner Stone is absolutely right. It was a winnable game.
September 25th, 2010 at 7:02 pm
It was a good game. Alabama played better the second half but Arkansas played until the end. imo…. Great football game.
September 25th, 2010 at 7:05 pm
Nice choke job by Arkansas. That’s why Bama is Bama and Arkansas isn’t.
Seeing Nick the Coward win one he should have lost always gives me a sad.
September 25th, 2010 at 7:05 pm
@Corner Stone: No Heisman for you.
Bama pulled out a win. My head still hurts from my headache but I am getting now that my team won.
September 25th, 2010 at 7:09 pm
Go Cocks!!
September 25th, 2010 at 7:47 pm
Stanford beat Notre Dame!!
Woo-hoo.
The weekend isn’t a total loss.
(again its a root against thing, not a root for)
September 25th, 2010 at 7:55 pm
Does anyone think OSU has a chance on the Smurf Turf?
September 25th, 2010 at 8:03 pm
@Corner Stone:
A chance? Yeah. But BSU probably wins.
I’m rooting for a BSU-TCU BCS championship game.
ETA: But O. State has already had a couple dumb penalties.
September 25th, 2010 at 8:33 pm
Herbstreet, on the Boise State game, appears to have gone to John Boehner’s tanning salon.
And I am really so very, very tired of Musberger. His sell-by date was a decade or more ago. Anything that happens is the coach’s geniusing. Not that the kids on the field or the court actually earn their scholarships, or anything. (Its worse in hoops, but he certainly does it in f’bawl.)
