This should be good for some laughs, except, I think we will see good football here.

So the SEC is not rigged despite all the talk - refs could have given Auburn the ball twice.  I think that was a safety myself. Help MSU unfortunately grrr.

If you have an off night in the Big 10 you beat Indiana by 20 if you are a decent team.  if you have an off night in the SEC west you lose.  Thats the difference in conferences.  Same for Pac 12, same for Big 12.  I'll allow the ACC allows you to be an idiot just like the Big 10 does.

Who would win in a fight? Horned Frog or Wolverine? 

 

Wolverines are vicious, but Horned Frogs got that stealthy poison game...

No matter what, IMO, that Auburn loss doesn't put MSU in. They'll have to sideline cheer LSU due to weight voters put on Death Valley keeping Ol Miss in top 10 after loss

Boston College gets transfer Tyler Murphy from Florida, who promptly threw an INT for the first play from scrimmage. Still, as things work out, Boston College is now up 7-0 on Louisville and we're running on all cylinders in the ACC this evening apparently. All that is left is for Clemsoning to become the subject of a CDC memorandum.

One of the hallmarks of inept coaches is poor talent identification. Our coaches aren't good, but even a cursory look at the better teams in the country should tell you our talent is over-rated, especially on offense.

I'm not saying it is all on them. But you also can't deny it didn't help and it has made him jumpy. In fact, Boykin has a tendency to make questionable plays and do too much sometimes, which is why I used him as a comparison. But with better coaching and an OL that keeps him upright I think Devin could have been as good as Boykin. Not perfect, but good enough to make plays out of nothing without completely self destructing.

You know how I know this isn't a big rivalry yet? Both teams are wearing their standard uniforms. If they really hated each other they would be wearing cool alternates.

TCU was stoked when they heard Matt Joeckel was transferring so they could move Biykin to his natural position, wide receiver. Now Boykin is in the thick of the heisman race. Based on what I've seen from TCU's offense, they might be my pick to win it all. Now if only we could land Patterson.

and that's the difference.  The 2nd pick today wasn't covered that well, but DG just can't put it on the money like that.  (of course, if DG had thrown to the uncovered receiver it might have been better)

Lanford and Mumphrey both break multiple tackles that drive.  Something our guys almost never do.  Difference between playing a bunch of 22 year olds vs 19-20 year olds.
