seriously, what the hell's going on?
September 1st, 2012 at 1:26 PM ^
I has a broken mgoblog. I also has a sad.

Kain Colter is playing very well right now, looking better than Maxwell for sure and maybe even Miller.
OU is playing too conservatively in my opinion, they really need to punch in a touchdown on this drive.
September 1st, 2012 at 1:29 PM ^
September 1st, 2012 at 1:34 PM ^
Only 1 catch for 7 yards, not really throwing to him, and he has only been playing on ~40% of their downs.
September 1st, 2012 at 1:38 PM ^
He's on my fantasy team. He'll play more as the season progresses I think.
September 1st, 2012 at 1:30 PM ^
Yep, that was a disaster, Penn St. blocks the punt..
September 1st, 2012 at 1:29 PM ^
Ok. Let's start a "No more f-ing 'seven nation army' chants ever, Ever, EVAAAAARRRR again" petition. Could not be more sick of it.

It's amazing how 1 quarter of PSU football can make that song absolutely horrible
September 1st, 2012 at 1:34 PM ^
That's hilarious, because I wasn't even talking about the PSU game, rather it was the OSU game that was making me nauseated.
September 1st, 2012 at 1:31 PM ^
It's the sound of CFB. I like it and I missed it.
September 1st, 2012 at 1:29 PM ^
Penn State is like a library
September 1st, 2012 at 1:30 PM ^
hey look at that....miami caught one.
September 1st, 2012 at 1:31 PM ^
Just when I was thinking to myself that 7-3 with a couple minutes left in the half feels like a typical game in State College, Penn State blocks a punt. 1st and 10 at the Ohio 18.
September 1st, 2012 at 1:33 PM ^
I love this site, but the timeouts are ridiculous.
September 1st, 2012 at 1:33 PM ^
Ohio is picked to win the MAC and they are getting rolled. Maybe sactioned Penn State will be a lot better than we think. And I, for one, am rooting for those who stayed (tm).
September 1st, 2012 at 1:36 PM ^
What happens when we find out that cleaning house and hiring an all new staff was the best thing for PSU all along?
September 1st, 2012 at 1:51 PM ^
Lot's of truth to this. The thing holding PSU back for the last decade was the Paterno regime. Penn State has lots of natural advantages such as being the only major program in the talent-rich area of PA/NJ.
Without the sanctions, O'Brien would have been on a role. He was recruiting really well. Mark my words, the sanctions only delay this. They don't erase it.

September 1st, 2012 at 1:36 PM ^
"Brain cramp for Braxton Miller..." LOL! What a dumb ass play!
September 1st, 2012 at 1:37 PM ^
Followed it up with a nice run though. He's a heck of an athlete, but his throwing mechanics still look a little suspect.
September 1st, 2012 at 1:37 PM ^
These 503/504 errors are brutal. Is the server's capacity too small? That might be a bit of problem if it's already acting up.
September 1st, 2012 at 3:19 PM ^
September 1st, 2012 at 1:37 PM ^
Solich you gutless wonder. go for it....
September 1st, 2012 at 1:38 PM ^
Ticket available for tonight's game for MGo Blogger who will use ticket: sec 249 row 10 for face $175; [email protected]
September 1st, 2012 at 1:40 PM ^
"The pass wasn't...a perfect spiral..." Quack quack quack! LOL!
September 1st, 2012 at 1:41 PM ^
The Bobcats have :40 or so left with 4th and short.
They let the clock run down to :03, then Solich calls a timeout.
Tettleton makes a dead run through the PSU line and slides inside Penn State territory to close out the half.
Is that from the Ron Zook school of clock management?
September 1st, 2012 at 1:43 PM ^
Why not just run a play? They'll be totally unprepared and will get the penalty for too many men by default.
September 1st, 2012 at 1:42 PM ^
Everybody talks about Denard throws jump balls all the time, but that's pretty much what Miller has been doing the whole game
September 1st, 2012 at 1:42 PM ^
Just checked on the ECU game for a second and it looks like Ruffin McNeil lost like 200 lbs.
September 1st, 2012 at 1:43 PM ^
Ok...no more panning of the buckeye fan base. That was a sad sight...
September 1st, 2012 at 1:45 PM ^
Unbelieveable. BTN goes blackout right as OSU runs a goalline play
September 1st, 2012 at 1:45 PM ^
September 1st, 2012 at 2:07 PM ^
"Return from whence you came!" lol
September 1st, 2012 at 1:46 PM ^
And whoever the color commentator is, he's an idiot.
"I thought OSU should have run a pass play there, so if it didn't work, they would still have time for a field goal."
He realizes they had 3 seconds right? There was time for 1 play only
September 1st, 2012 at 1:51 PM ^
Buffalo down to georgia 24-13 with 30 left in half, but on the 5 yard line. They're keeping it close.
September 1st, 2012 at 1:55 PM ^
Now, nothing like this is ever anything that I want to see, or would advocate, but on the first Bama drive, if BWC did happen to incapacitate AJ McCarron for about 4 hours, I'd like our chances.
September 1st, 2012 at 1:59 PM ^
Isn't he sort of a slow white marginal talent whose purpose is to not screw up the rest of the team and to have an awesome Southern-frat-boy-flow?
September 1st, 2012 at 2:01 PM ^
It's who's going to replace him if he's hurt - not very much experience at QB depth for Bama.
September 1st, 2012 at 2:02 PM ^
another backwards screen pass...Northwestern picks it up and returns it for a touchdown untouched...these are becoming a serious trend.
September 1st, 2012 at 2:02 PM ^
Funny how some people thought Alex Carder was going to light up Illinois.. Not so much.
September 1st, 2012 at 2:11 PM ^
Trust me this happens every year. "Watch out for Alex Carder and Western Michigan" Cubit's teams continue to disappoint with the talent that they've had. I've said this before but they haven't even made it to a MAC Champ game, they can't play defense or run the football, and basically their offense is made up of dink and dunk passes over the middle. He may have brought Western back to a respectable average program but that team should at least contend for a MAC championship more than they have.
/End rant of a disappointed WMU alum.

September 1st, 2012 at 2:03 PM ^
is having quite the passing afternoon. /s
September 1st, 2012 at 2:03 PM ^
Either a lot of return guys are overvaluing themselves, or they keep forgetting that Touchbacks are out to the 25 now. Every kick I've seen near the goalline they catch it and try to run, and usually get hit short of the 20. They're throwing away free yards everytime
September 1st, 2012 at 2:04 PM ^
Syracuse threw the ball in the flat and didn't realize it was a backward pass. A Northwestern LB casually picked it up, waited a couple of seconds, and then ran it into the endzone for a gimme TD. 28 - 13
September 1st, 2012 at 2:05 PM ^
EDIT: My first double! I guess it was about time to pop that cherry
September 1st, 2012 at 2:12 PM ^
This has worked for various teams since the Oange Bowl. Would be cool to see Denard do a flip pass to Norfleet or Hayes.
