Enjoy the games!

Go Big Red!

Washington State has this in the bag.

Missouri should roll them. I don't see that game as very interesting to watch for anybody who isn't a Tiger fan.

A game I'm actually interested in is Indiana and Ohio State. Curious how much of Indiana's scoring last week was Indiana, and how much was Michigan.

You are by far the most tolerable Michigan fan I have interacted with, it's tought to be as unbias as you are with OSU being a michigan fan, but kudos to you. I really am not worried about Indiana at all, I think Illinois is a much better team, Illinois as a QBOTF with Steelhouse, I was suprised he came in as a true freshman and took the job from McGee. Illinois always plays us tough though, they will live and die by the arm of their young QB. LeShoure did not impress me at all, he had one long run, but Clay is the best back in the Big 10 by far, Royster is good too, but Clay is like Beanie Wells, but not close to as good as Beanie IMO.

The thing that is interesting about the Buckeys will be the health of TP, if his leg can't heal correctly it could be a brutal year for us. Bauserman our #2 QB is trash IMO, he can throw the ball a 100mph, but that's it, he's a poor mans Todd Boeckman and I thought Todd Boeckman stunk. If TP doesn't stay healthy we won't win the Big 10.

I was giggling earlier this year about Michigans paper thin secondary, well I guess I got what I deserved, our defense is getting beat up. We lost my favorite and IMO our best safety for the year when he got injured in the Miami game. We lost our back up WLB for the year. Then we just lost Tyler Moeller our starting WLB for the year with a torn Pec. We now have a true freshman Christian bryant starting at LB, and two true freshman rotating in the secondary, makes me shudder at times.

*I just checked, our backup WLB is week to week.

Our problems run at every level of our defense, including coaching. But we're thin both on the line and in the secondary.

Last week's game was a little bit of a mirage for Indiana I think. If Robinson doesn't fumble on the goal line early I think it's probably a blowout (would have been 21-7 at that point). But because he did, the game stayed within a TD the whole time, with Indiana always chasing and tying, and then Michigan scoring in a couple of plays.

I think Indiana's got a pretty decent QB in Chappell. His stats against Michigan were nuts, but silly as it may sound to say it, part of that was Michigan scoring so fast. I've never seen so many 50+ yard scores in one game in my life. Kid ended up with 64 pass attempts, and Indiana as a whole ran something like 95 plays. It was one of the most ridiculous games I've ever seen (well, I didn't actually get to see it, I was working...), Indiana had the ball for more than 40 minutes, had more than double the first downs and ran more than double the plays and Michigan still outgained them. But either way. Chappell looked good. Part of that is Michigan's D, as I understand it he was hardly touched the entire game, but looking at his stats, they line up with his play for the year. He's got a 12-1 TD/INT ratio for the season so far (3-1 Saturday) and completing around 70% of his passes. Now, do I think he'll do that against Ohio State? No. But I wouldn't be entirely surprised if he completed some passes. He certainly sounds like a better QB than the one I saw struggle in Ann Arbor in 2009.

I think the outcome of that game will be more of an issue of how Indiana's defense does against the Buckeye offense. If it's anything like it was last week against Michigan, it should be a blowout.

As far as Illinois goes, I didn't think they were any good going into the season, and nothing I've seen so far has changed my mind. Opening week Missouri basically handled them, despite not playing very well in the first half, and they had trouble with Northern Illinois the week before last. That's not a good team. I couldn't believe they were even in the game with you guys, much less close late. Scheelhaase is a Kansas City kid, by the way.

Missouri should roll a lot of teams that they don't. They have talent, but are poorly coached. Pinkel scares the crap out of me.

Why bold Florida and LSU? Both those teams are not awesome.

You make a fair point. San Diego State ended up being more, ah, entertaining than I expected.

Because it's two of the last 4 National Championship winners, both in the top-15, from the best conference in college football facing off in a night game. Whether your not your dumbass chooses to acknowledge that or not is irrelevant and only telling that you choose to comment on that game and not several other less attractive, yet bolded, games.

I'm looking forward to the Michigan State - Michigan game. Shoelace is the most entertaining player in the county this year.

Colorado has not been one of those teams. We have knocked around the lower tier Big 12 teams, especially Colorado. Even with last year's defense, we held CU to 175 yards of offense and -14 yards rushing in Boulder.
