A Boston College player's helmet just came off after he dove on top an already motionless pile.  Is it now "cool" to have your helmet come off?  If you think that doesn't make any sense, why do boys wear belts and still have their pants falling off their asses? 

Either that or Adidas makes all the helmets.

J.J. Swain  was so happy that he tackled Abbedaris  for a loss of 4 yards that he nearly kicked another teammate in the face in celebration.

Wisconsin makes another FG. 6-0 Badgers as they plod down the field enough for a 30-ish yard attempt.

Has anyone in the B1G really looked good so far? I'd argue that MSU barely scraping by what was essentially Boise's JV team last year doesn't really make them Rose Bowl favorites. I thought NW looked good until they remembered they were NW. Ohio (YTo) beat Miami (NTM) but it is Miami (NTM) and OSU can't go to the Rose Bowl anyway. Minnesota won, I guess. Hopefully Michigan sets the stage for the rest of the conference.

Looks like ballsack. The commentators are obsessed with Martinez and how much better of a passer he is (read: not much change since last year a la Tebow preparing for NFL), but even they're having a tough time keeping up the charade.

The vaunted "blackshirt defense" looks just as sieve-y as they did against Michigan last year.

Some of them look genuinely impressed that Wisconsin has managed to run it up to 13-0 just before the half, as the tone is still subdued, it seems. BTN keeps hammering on the point that Wisconsin is "used to scoring a lot of points", of course.
