Maybe it's time i start rooting a bit for Ioway.

There are defenses that can shut them down, but their offense, along with that defense, can take on most anybody.

Lovin' me some Harbaugh manball.  Tight ends, fullbacks, six offensive linemen... and trickery.

Too bad Rudock threw the ball that cost them the shutout.  This offense isn't playoff-caliber, but I still think they'll get their nine wins.

Texas is pissing their season away tonight in Iowa. Pretty rough to watch.

Still some time if they want to save themselves.

Nope. Another disaster. Ah well. At least they beat OU.

So Dorsey did you catch the ending of the Miami-Duke game?

That replay official was as awful as the one in the UM-MSU game.  One of the Miami players tackled a Duke player, #1's knees hit the ground before he threw the ball away, there were two blocks in the back (one somewhat questionable, the other blatant), and a helmet-to-helmet hit on one of the blocks.  Other than that, it looked like a good play.  I mean, fuck Duke, but that replay official was grossly incompetent and should never work another game.

:lol: You seem to be having as hard a time letting go of the UM - MSU game as the App State game a few years back.

QuoteOne of the Miami players tackled a Duke player, #1's knees hit the ground before he threw the ball away, there were two blocks in the back (one somewhat questionable, the other blatant), and a helmet-to-helmet hit on one of the blocks.  Other than that, it looked like a good play.  I mean, fuck Duke, but that replay official was grossly incompetent and should never work another game.

FYI, none of those are reviewable save the one about whether the player was down before lateraling the ball (which on the field was not called dead--and I've seen people arguing that the ball was coming out by the time his knee touched--so not indisputable?). Lets review the rule book before sending the replay guy to the unemployment line.  :)

Also, if you want to call a penalty for every play a forensic inspection of a replay shows helmets touch during a block, or possibly someone blocked in the back, we will never again have a play without a penalty. Which, considering that Miami had 23 penalties in the game, would create games somewhat like this one.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

I have a hard time caring. It is hard to get excited about needing a miracle finish to beat Duke coming off a 58-0 beatdown by Clemson. Also, 23 penalties are a new school record. Hooray for new records each week (last week worst lost, this week most penalties)!

RichRod is looking shellshocked. 42-3 Huskies late in 3rd.

I don't know if it will become a story or not, but Brian Kelly went after an assistant strength coach on the sidelines, and put his hands on the guy. Really not a good look. Has me worried he is going to have a Woody Hayes moment. To this point you could rationalize his explosions on his players and refs as motivation or intimidation tactics, but actually going after a coach is neither of those.

Also, the officiating in the 2nd half of that game came really close to determining the outcome--there were 3 straight drives--2 for ND and 1 for Temple--that were basically determined by officiating in favor of Temple (officials from the AAC). I know Berkut disagrees, but it is such a clear conflict of interest to have officials officiating out of conference games for one of their conference members, it would be nice if the practice was ended.
