Badgers!
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:01 PM ^
real ugly unis

I just don't see any big upsets here. OU losing would be great for the B1G getting a shot at the BCS
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:19 PM ^
would make the NC almost for sure. I want a Big 12-Big 10 matchup. Actually I want PAC 12-Big 10. Stanford-Wisconsin would be perfect.
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:01 PM ^
Just heard a little of the Spartan radio pre-game. One of the announcers was closing his comments on Gholston when I began to listen. He said for all of the writers on the East Coast who probably don't even know where East Lansing is (yes, his words) just remember that the camera doesn't show everything. I guess Denard must have also provoked Gholston.
I know everyone is tired of this topic but I continue to be fascinated by State's response.
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:05 PM ^
i'm surprised by their response tho. Their football program is a perfective representative for their fans.
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:06 PM ^
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:01 PM ^
at some picks:
Northwestern over PSU
ND over USC
Stanford over Washington
Wisconsin over MSU
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:02 PM ^
Penn St. fumbles on opening kickoff. NU catches an early break.
Will Persa make them pay? I would think so.
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:17 PM ^
PSU will find a way to win this one IMO.. Persa still isn't 100%
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:02 PM ^
Those Northwestern uniforms might be the ugliest I've seen this year. And that's really saying something.
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:11 PM ^
Maryland IMO
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:17 PM ^
Agree those are terrible. But they looked designed and manufactured by a professional. A drunk professional, mind you, but a professional nonetheless. Northwestern's look like the team Moms had a sewing party.
October 22nd, 2011 at 8:45 PM ^
It's Penn State vs Northwestern High School. I have to say those Uniforms are "turrible" as Charles Barkley would say because they look like they are high school uniforms. However, the worst this year are Sparty's Bronze....NONE of their colors are bronze...C'MON MAN!
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:03 PM ^
I didn't know Penn State was playing Kansas State this week.
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:04 PM ^
Honestly, as much i would love to see Wiscy dominate tonight i dont see it happening. Sparty probably has the best D in the conference this year and will make wiscy work for it. I can see wiscy winning but maybe like a 31-21 score or something like that.
As far as sparty radio goes it has been like that all week long. if they were playing minnesota tonight no one would bitch as much as the sparty's did about it.
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:09 PM ^
I think Wisconsin will stop the A-gap blitz MSU has been so succesful with, which seems to be a major part of the defense looking so good. They may start out slow, but I think Wisconsin will run away with the game in the 3rd quarter.
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:16 PM ^
line is so big that one guy can block the A and B gaps!
October 22nd, 2011 at 8:12 PM ^
And yep, the first time they try it, picked up, Wilson has all day to throw, 15 yard completion.
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:13 PM ^
Whats your prediction for Wisc / MSU game?
I say Wisc 42-24
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:27 PM ^
My prediction is that a score like that will bring out the very best in the good "Sportans."
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:30 PM ^
I like Washington to pull the upset.
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:30 PM ^
McGloin looks sharp
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:39 PM ^
Yea his career is over...he never threw the ball in HS and was never gonna catch up at this level of football.
His best case scenario would be to end up at a place like GVSU and continue his career. he will never be a big time D1 QB...he is just to far behind in the pass game.
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:37 PM ^
NW-PSU is a wild game so far. 14-14 and the first quarter isn't over yet.
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:38 PM ^
Notre dame's helmets are REALLY SHINY. REALLY REALLY SHINY. Like covered in glitter.
Awful.
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:40 PM ^
All I can look at is how badly their pants and helmets don't match.
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:42 PM ^
Now all they need is some Bedazzler action on those, and the uniforms will be complete!
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:44 PM ^
Fabulous
October 22nd, 2011 at 8:03 PM ^
I kind of like them, to be honest.
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:39 PM ^
I like watching Bama, because this is what M is trying to get back to, but I am rooting for the Vols.
DJ Fluker is a massive human being, is Ben Braden really approaching Fluker's size as a HS senior. Amazing.
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:57 PM ^
I would love to see Fluker protecting Matt Stafford next year.
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:45 PM ^
I would love Wiscy to put up 35+ and win by double digits...just to shut up the sparty fans and put them back in their hole where they belong.
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:46 PM ^
The only guys who can shut up the sparties are our own. Its gonna have to wait until basketball season.
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:52 PM ^
Disagree...Going to the BIG Championship will shut them up and put them in their place! You are right with the wishful thinking tho!
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:38 PM ^
Sorry.
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:46 PM ^
tommy rees looks like he is 15. Also good to see nd is green by using old msu scrap gold, or is that where my cash for gold went?
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:46 PM ^
Every time USC plays its fight song, drink.
#GoodbyeCruelWorld
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:57 PM ^
only have a case !!!
Go Blue!
October 22nd, 2011 at 8:33 PM ^
Every damn play with that song! I thought it was okay before I saw them play Michigan in a Rose Bowl. USC could have yackety saxed a snap for a safety and they would have played it.
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:48 PM ^
so are ND's helmets supposed to be gold or mustard yellow? Because I am seeing more mustard yellow then actual gold.
and hammond is already blind trying to read spots.
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:58 PM ^
Not sure if you heard but the color is supposed to match that of the golden dome exactly... I just threw up in my mouth.
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:49 PM ^
delete..double post
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:50 PM ^
Mustard yellow.
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:51 PM ^
Did I just hear ND Stadium playing RAWK? I thought they were one of the last holdouts.
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:53 PM ^
and they are playing a lot of it!
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:53 PM ^
or maybe the Great Pumpkin ..... deliver U of M a 30 carry / game running back. I love Smith and Fitz and Shaw ... but we really need a stud running back. Are you listening Bri'onte?
Go Blue!
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:57 PM ^
I was just thinking the same thing watching the big backs from Bama, Tenn, and USC running hard up the middle of the D.
