Jai Eugene was just covering Marquis Maze - why do those names sound so familiar?
Due to "popular" demand:
http://jimharbaughscramble.blogspot.com/
Not sure on Maze but Eugene was the recruit that allegedly really soured the Les Miles/Lloyd Carr relationship. Eugene was an Army AA that committed to Michigan during the game. Right before or on signing day, Miles yoinked him from Michigan. Supposedly Miles made some unsavory comments about Carr in the process.

I know - was trying to be silly
BTW Maze was a UM recruit (may even have been a commit at one point).
But the Jai Eugene thingie - was where the wonderful LLoyd is sick and has to retire rumors came from.

You provide a very informative update for those not aware of the Jai Euguene debacle.

Jai Eugene had also just had a child and wanted to be close to him/her. I think that was the main issue.
But Falcon Seven, I'm decoupaging! If I leave now, it may bubble!
Thanks for this. I hate Saban and 'Bama but I want them to win just so it helps to keep the "we should've hired Miles" douche bags off the site.
There are no corners in space.
That will just add more fuel to the "we should've hired Saban" fire.
Brian Griese is doing color commentary for the Iowa State-Oklahoma State game. I'd provide a breakdown of his performance, except that I'd have to watch a meaningless B12 game to do it.

Stanford is now up 9-0. 10-0 pending an XP.

OSU just punted from approximately the PSU 32. Would have been a 47 yard FG attempt. Punt was a touchback. That was a bad decision before the punt was a touchback, though.
kicker is out for the year - I think the Vest would have went for it if that was not the case.
The PSU offense looks horrible right now.

We can only hope Sweater Vest plays that conservatively against us.

away from taking a 14-0 lead into the half. They have a chance to add another score too.
The Great Weis Whale is not looking too happy on the sidelines.

Navy missed the FG
14-0 at the half.
A Notre Dame loss would really help my mood.
There are no corners in space.
A OSU loss would help ease some pain too.

backup kicker (he of the buckstache variety) just came through with a nice kick.
On the other side of the country Stanford has scored again. 24-7.

Oregon is really screwing the pooch. Must've read their press clippings all week.
There are no corners in space.
a much needed TD.
Don't forget that Stanford had a buy last week and thus an extra week to prepare. I'm biased but I think Harbaugh is a heck of a coach - great game plan so far.
BUT - they need to keep scoring to beat Oregon.

tOSU game: That ball hit his foot! How can that still be a touch back?
There are no corners in space.
mind.
IF PSU recovers it is a TD - so how in the world is that not a safety.
In other news - Stanford scores again.

I get so frustrated watching this Ohio State offense. It feels like playing a game of Madden. The person you are playing against can't do much on offense at all, their guys are constantly covered. No matter what, they just end up tucking the ball with the QB and gaining 15 yards.
refs are trying to blow as bad as B10 refs - awful unsportsmanlike call on The Cardinal.

Jimmah really needs to learn to slide
Our helmets got wings
Clausen is down and hurt
EDIT: I hope he's OK, but I'm happy for the fumble,

Man. ND looks like its falling apart. Navy could blow it, but holy hell are they steamrolling the ND D.
There are no corners in space.
I honestly think that ND fans will be more upset about this than we were about Purdue. They cannot stop Navy. I think it was Trey Wingo talking about this offense being the new "it" thing in the coming years. Maybe he was right.
IIRC ND fans were mad pissed when their 3-9 team lost to Navy in 2007.
<>IF they lose this game it is way worse than the M loss to Purdue.

If ND pulls one of their "miracles" in this game I will lose it. It's a joke that they are still considered a BCS bowl team. I don't want that idea to continue.
I was just thinking the same thing. Right when Navy bogged down after driving it 50yds from their own 1. I don't like how this is setting up.
There are no corners in space.
Is Robby Parris doing his best to look exactly like Jeff Samardzija? Or is it just me?
I think his goal is to look like a poorman's Jeff Szmaridziaalaxxx

And he needs a tramp stamp like Jeff.
Maybe he'll put a Cubs hat on while on the sidelines

LOL! No luck of the Irish yet!
There are no corners in space.
And Jimmy got a personal foul! Great stuff.
Jeeeez. Why can't teams ever close out the Irish?
is down for the Bucks.
I don't want to speculate but it looks like a knee injury.

ducks.
Pac10 refs like B10 refs refuse to call holding.

It is a little ridiculous. I don't remember hearing anything about it, but I feel like the NCAA must have decided to de-emphasize holding calls this year. I don't understand why so many separate reffing crews can ignore what seem like obvious holds.
Unless it's a play on which Minor scores a touchdown.
