The NonConference

@ Navy (9-4)
Virginia Tech (8-5)
Kent State (4-8)
Cincinnati (9-4)

No Top 10 opponents but 3 teams that are all solid. Cincinnati is on the schedule for the first time since 2006; this is the first meeting between VT and OSU.

Grade: B+

VaTech is garbage.


And Navy, Cinci, and Kent State is a B+? Everything in Ohio but a trip to some where in Maryland to play the Middies?

C- and that's being generous.

Deliberately provocative. Hastily slapped together. Shamefully ignorant.

I can give you a Gentleman's C, sir, but clean up your act.

Cincy is no pushover anymore. 10 or more wins in 5 of the last 7 seasons with 2 BCS games. Their last 3 coaches each spent 3 years there and then moved on to some of the top jobs in the country in Michigan State, Notre Dame & Tennessee. They are fucked in the future though after being shut out of a big conference during the purge.

Kind Sir,

I may forgive your boorishness, but I shan't overlook an insult to my character. We shall meet with pistols at dawn before your vile team takes the field against its fiercest opponent, archival, Kent State. Have your second contact mine for the lamentable balance of the arrangements.

B+!

Warmest Regards,

At least they learned early they weren't making the playoffs anyway.

it's the B1G.


they weren't making the playoffs anyways....

Glad to see OSU pay for a win. If only they didn't pay the refs as well.

Love hearing Cinci fans whine about the refs on a day where their shitball team gave up 700 yards

Holy crap. The Cult of Tressellah is selected for the College Football Hall of Fame.... while he's still under a five-year 'show cause' order for violating NCAA rules...

If they can let Sweater Vest into the CFB hall o' fame, why can't baseball do the same for Petey Rose?

Death to the SEC!

It's a beautiful morning!

Good lord, that 3rd string QB for OSU looked like Vince Young out there. The few mistakes he made can be easily corrected. The stuff he does on his own can't be taught. What an arm. I also loved it when he bulled into the Oregon linebacker and ground out a first down. Not quite Bo Jackson plowing over Bosworth, but still effective...

He needs to go pro now.

He says he's not ready. But he's got 2 days to change his mind.

The Oregon MLB gets a hearty "C'mon, man" from Dick Butkus and Ray Nitschke. Ray Lewis would be apoplectic: "How you gone let a kwaterback - a KWATERBACK - run you over?"

In fairness, that guy looks a little pudgy. I doubt he'd get the same result with an NFL linebacker. Still, it was noteworthy...
