...he's kinda awesome. His passion/intensity comes across as real, not manufactured...and he's a X's and O's analyst first unlike most others that work for the WWL.
Craig James, whose calling our game, is a little arrogant and SEC loving for my taste. (but he just defended RR this morning, so I'll tolerate him for today)

Tressel getting cocky

If Pryor goes down OSU is screwed at QB unless this series was an aberration of some sort. Bauserman is slow on his feet and appears to take too much time to make a decision. His accuracy was meh.

Syracuse stuffs 3rd and 1 and 4th and 1 at the Syracuse 40. Big turn over.

Minnesota's O is sputtering after first few drives. Dunno why Decker hasn't gotten more looks; Minnesota is running the ball more than Mason did.
September 5th, 2009 at 1:17 PM ^
Is Boren playing?
September 5th, 2009 at 1:18 PM ^
Yeah, LG. No idea how good he's been playing though as I've been watching 'Cuse Minne$ota
September 5th, 2009 at 1:20 PM ^
they are already hyping him up. Already had the MICHIGAN TO OSU OMGzzz tape queued up a couple times. I haven't been watching closely, but a terribly undersized Navy DLine has been getting good pressure on the QB from Boren's side.
September 5th, 2009 at 1:22 PM ^
Why is Pryor on the bench?
September 5th, 2009 at 1:23 PM ^
wanted to get Bauserman in no matter what.

For all those who joked about Paulus being a horrible option for Michigan QB, this game is proving otherwise. Granted, Michigan also beat Minnesota last year, fwiw.
September 5th, 2009 at 1:35 PM ^
Yea he is looking pretty damn good I have to say. The way he went up to line and then backed off and got Minn to show their blitz was pretty impressive. That drive couldn't have gone any better for them.

Holtz says Weis is the most underrated college football coach in the nation!!! Mark it down!
EDIT: He's being ripped a new one. Fun to watch.
September 5th, 2009 at 1:34 PM ^
Did Holtz really say Weis is underrated? Or did I imagine that?

My God the Big Ten is looking very bad so far. Syracuse up on Minnesota by 1 and Iowa losing to Northern Iowa by 7. The Big Ten may be worse than the ACC this year.
September 5th, 2009 at 2:10 PM ^
Let's not say things we can't take back...
September 5th, 2009 at 2:17 PM ^
That's good news for us. Iowa may be beatable.

Anybody else see that "ORE suspsneds LaGarrette Blount"?
Yes, suspsneds.
ESPN never fails to bring the lolz.
September 5th, 2009 at 2:11 PM ^
Is anyone able to see that game? Geez, I thought Iowa might be a dark horse to win the Big Ten... Is there an injury to Stanzi or something?
September 5th, 2009 at 2:15 PM ^
nice pass by navy. at least its still an interesting game.
September 5th, 2009 at 2:43 PM ^
Coaching mistake by Tressel: Goes for it on 4th down instead of taking easy FG to make it 3 score game.
Navy gets long TD pass to close the game down.
dumb mistake by Tressel, out of character for him because he is usually conservative

gave OSU a great game. If it wasn't for the bad decision on the 2-pt conversion, this game could've been tied with 2:23 left! Pryor looked good passing early on. OSU's running game doesn't look very good. Their best running play was the option pitch to the outside. There wasn't much up the middle, which was odd because OSU's OL outweighed Navy's D line by about 45 pounds. Boren looks way too big, almost out of shape big.
September 5th, 2009 at 3:11 PM ^
Navy coach must be regretting that pass call on the 2-pt extra point try. Not because of the pick-two return. That had no impact on the outcome as Navy never got the ball back. But rather, going with a play that's not Navy's strength. There were four Buckeyes covering or in the passing lane on that play. It had no chance.

Minnesota and Syracuse in a close one on ESPN2. Apparently Scott Shafer is the Defensive Coordinator at Syracuse, and granted they're playing Minnesota, but the D looks pretty good. Gave up 2 TDs early, but since has only surrendered a field goal. Minnesota is driving though, with under 2 minutes to play.
