Going to the Stanford/Warshington game tomorrow. W00+!

On my next visit to Cali, can I stay with you?

that streaker segment was surreal, esp. the lineup of senors and senoras in full regalia standing along the end zone as he was marched off? were they illegals who snuck in during all the hoopla?

What makes me laugh about the streaker, is he probably got that outfit from a Halloween costume shop.

First place in the Big East!

(for the next few hours)

Boo yeah, bitches!

and Bowl eligible.

Decent shot at getting that Big East title back, too.

Mexico, those Maryland uniforms are hideous. WTF is with those helmets. They belong in a bottom of the barrell arena league.


Great win for the Bearcats!!! Super finish.

You guys got all bent out of shape about Kelly leaving the Bearcats. Shit, the Bearcats are going to be just fine. I'm not so sure about the Big East though.

We were ticked because we knew he was the perfect fit for UC. He never should have left.

Not so much for ND.

Well, at least we don't have that murderer working for the Bearcats anymore. Plus when Jones leaves, Combs is now in good shape to take over and never leave.

Good to see the 'cats still have that quick strike gene when they need it.

Props to the officials in the MSU-Wiscy game for getting that last call right and correctly overturning it.

Wisky's defense was disappointing the entire game. Special teams were a wreck, too. Russell Wilson had a mediocre game from about the beginning of the second quarter until about the midway point of the fourth. And yet the Badgers rallied and tied the game. I was shaking my head at Bielima for taking that timeout on MSU's last drive. There wasn't that much time left to be trying to see if you could get the third down stop, force the punt and then drive down the field. If anything, it gave MSU the chance at the Hail Mary that they wouldn't have gotten otherwise. The Spartans probably would've just let those extra 30 or so seconds tick down on third and long, fearing that a miss would've given the Badgers the ball back with a chance themselves to get in position to try a Hail Mary. It's not a big thing, as even with that you can't give up the Hail Mary if your Wisconsin, but still... not calling that timeout probably would've led to the Spartans just eating the ball for the final half-minute of the game.

Oh well. That's why most teams don't go undefeated.

As for OU/Tech... I have no words. OU's pass defense was the worse I've seen it in since they lost to Texas back in 2008.

OU looked like the same team I've seen all year, unimpressive. (Although I didnt see them play FSU)

MSU and Wisconsin: Exciting finish.

I didn't think the replay evidence was conclusive enough to overturn the call on the field. Of course, I couldn't care less which of those teams won the game, but I would've rather seen a couple of OT shots than just the game ending like that, so maybe I'm biased. But it was damn close either way...

I agree with hedge. I thought whatever was called on the field would be upheld. Didn't see enough to overturn either call and I wanted Wisconsin to lose.

I thought the video showed a touchdown, but I thought that the refs would coward out of it. I'm also not a huge fan of needing "indisputable evidence" (although I did think there was enough to overturn, I actually thought he didn't get in live).

They should have the ability to make their best judgement call with replay just like they would in split second live on the field.

They looked OK against FSU, but I was more impressed with FSU in that game than with OU, even more so b/c their starting QB got knocked out pretty early in the second half and they still hung with OU with a backup freshman in the lineup. Seemed like OU had a few 1rst and goal situations in that game (and not 1rst and 10, more like 1rst and < 5, on several occasions) and FSU stuffed them time and time again. I guess I was thinking that FSU's D-line and linebackers were good as hell, but in light of their current record (and the points that have been put up on them), I have to conclude that OU just isn't a true powerhaus this year...
