I think it's best
if Pitt wins to keep ND as far away from a BCS berth as possible. I have a free ticket tonight, leaving shortly.
Rambler doesn’t ‘leave’, he merely needs to rest his CPU

Since I don't get the Big 10 network down here
I listened to a fair portion of our game on XM in the car. Jack Ham made it sound as if Bowman and Lee played the greatest game of any linebacker tandem in CFB history. I like and trust Jack, but is this so?
"Never mistake motion for action." - Ernest Hemingway
I thought they played pretty well
I dont know about the greatest game ever. There probably just wasnt a lot of other good things going on for him to talk about. I trust Jack more than I trust myself though.
Good, I hope this means that there games are coming on
These guys will be needed against the SEC in the Capital Outback Bowl
"Never mistake motion for action." - Ernest Hemingway
A little sloppy early
but both played very well for much of the game. I just consider it another solid game from two top LBs – you know, what we’ve come to expect from those two.

This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
I was wondering about the beginning
since, by the time I found the XM number, IU had 10 points.

Just got back. What’s happening folks?

Trying to follow
the slate of games on TV, and those not on TV.
Focusing on the obvious Iowa-Ohio State, but my flip-to is Stanford-USC
"In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
0-0 Stanford USC
USC drove to the redzone but zOMG MATT BARKLEY let the ball get stripped out of his hands. Now Stanford is threatening on the USC 21.

Woo! Touchdown Stanford!

I hate this OSU/Iowa game
Mostly I hate watching Iowa move the ball through the air against the OSU defense. I’m jealous.

Is he just back now?
I thought he was back a while ago. Good to know. I know there were worries it might be a career ending heart issue at one point.
He was back a while ago
But he’s finally playing to his potential

Iowa's backup
is 7-7 so far.
That really bothers me.
Luring recruits with my new "Posting HD" scheme since '08.
That's not what bothers me
It’s that Iowa’s offense with a backup QB is doing better than we could manage with our starters.

Meh
It’s a good plan by Iowa. Easy passes, and they have a much better line.

i didn't make that up, that was ALL Matt Millen
"Want a donut go to dunkin donuts, want a linebacker go to Penn State." - Chris Carter
Did I mention
that Ferentz can coach? That play totally worked.
Land Grant or bust. Worst 10-2 team ever? Beat Michigan State.
So I'm watching sports soup, and it showed a putter made from a bull penis
"Want a donut go to dunkin donuts, want a linebacker go to Penn State." - Chris Carter

Ferentz
already out Paterno’d Paterno.
Can he out Tressel Tressel?
Land Grant or bust. Worst 10-2 team ever? Beat Michigan State.
Their defense is good
But they have some trouble stopping the run. Wisconsin ran all over them
Overall, the score should be 10-7, but I think Iowa should be relatively pleased.
Sam Lickliter. Never forgive. Never forget. Beat IU.

Stanford INT
(that was upheld after a review). Great work by the Stanford DE to read the screen and follow the tip off of the RB’s hand.
"In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
That was surprising
I thought it hit the ground on that INT.
Luring recruits with my new "Posting HD" scheme since '08.
It was definitely close
I didn’t hear to official call, but it may have been rolled under the “inconclusive evidence” category.
"In the beginning the Universe was created.

the Flordia Tebow's gave up aTD

14-0
HAIL THE TREE. Stanford scores again.
USC’s defense is looking porous.

TD Stanford!!
Up 14-0 with 1:22 left in the 1st Qtr.

this game
This is much nicer to watch. We have a clear-cut good guy and bad guy. There are no winners with the Big Ten matchup

I gotta get fired up.
JESSE! is draining. I can’t cover Rambler on top of that. I actually figured he was at BHGP, but he’s not.
Maybe he’s getting laid. Good for him/her.
Land Grant or bust. Worst 10-2 team ever? Beat Michigan State.
Keep an eye on Miami too
We need them to lose for our BCS chances.
God Created the World Out Of Nothing, Paterno Built A National Superpower On Cow Fields...
Yup - and I just saw UNC go up 7-0

OSU Wildcat formation
Seems pointless to have Boom take the snap. You already have a RB/WR under center normally.

I just want to see Clayborn anally rape Pryor
but not in a gay way (not that there is anything wrong with that)
What if it was a 2-for-1 deal?
You know, both figuratively and then literally – would you still be okay with that?

The Wave
Not sure if TV caught this, but today, the students started a wave that turned into a slow-mo wave, which turned into a fast forward wave, which turned into the rare reverse way. It was amazing.
God Created the World Out Of Nothing, Paterno Built A National Superpower On Cow Fields...
They made a minor mention of it
on the broadcast. But, again, it was brief, and since it was the BTN guys, I just assumed they were drunk.

Stanford
Poised to score again. On the USC doorstep at the 3 yard line. 1st and goal.
Luring recruits with my new "Posting HD" scheme since '08.
USC's dline looks like swiss cheese
"Want a donut go to dunkin donuts, want a linebacker go to Penn State." - Chris Carter
and USC's oline is also lookin' like swiss cheese
"Want a donut go to dunkin donuts, want a linebacker go to Penn State." - Chris Carter
So Why'd Rambler Leave?
God Created the World Out Of Nothing, Paterno Built A National Superpower On Cow Fields...
Not sure
He left sometime during the first quarter, likely to find himself some fermented oil to make the rest of the game more palatable. Not sure why he’s yet to return.
"In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
TD Trees!
Making it official – this USC defense is HORRIBLE. Barely better than ND’s defense.
"In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
Actually
I believe in the case of Stanford it’s a single tree.

Stanford still has an outside chance at the Rose Bowl
"Never mistake motion for action." - Ernest Hemingway
The Pac-10 is a great conference
but they’re going to end up eating each other in terms of being ranked in the top 25.
Regardless, whoever goes to the Rose Bowl is not going to be an easy opponent.
"In the beginning the Universe was created.

So basically, Iowa is playing the exact same game they've been playing all year
Millen is right about the horse collar, and damn you, Trey Stross.

Big East
Does anyone see a scenario where Pitt and Cincinatti make the BCS regardless of who wins their game?
God Created the World Out Of Nothing, Paterno Built A National Superpower On Cow Fields...
only if Pitt wins the conference.
In other words, no.
by PSUinBOSSton on Nov 14, 2009 4:44 PM EST up reply actions
I could see it happening
It’s been that bad of a college football year that the Big East may get two teams into the BCS.

In the postgame interview Bowman made comments that he will probably not be back after this year

What happened to Powell? I saw he was on the sideline and looked like an arm or shoulder problem, but didn’t have tv sound.

And Petey has plenty of bags with dollar signs on them left. Maybe he can buy a win.

Wouldn't be surprised
It would just suck. I don’t feel like we’ve gotten enough out of him. Kinda how I felt about Maybin too.
Luring recruits with my new "Posting HD" scheme since '08.
he has a kid to support so it doesnt really surprise me
Even 2nd or 3rd round money is better than nothing at all.
I am beginning to feel a bit guilty for rooting on Stanford
These kids are disturbingly “clean cut” in appearance. A fair number appear to have never had to shave.
