MSU up by a TD early.
October 10th, 2009 at 12:11 PM ^
was downright "felonious".
October 10th, 2009 at 12:08 PM ^
Beat the Chips!!!
Woo football on MyTv20!!!
October 10th, 2009 at 12:23 PM ^
by Tim Tebow of the MidWest (TTMW) Dan LeFeveour.
October 10th, 2009 at 12:55 PM ^
rushing TD. 21-0 Central.
October 10th, 2009 at 12:11 PM ^
Mallet is looking really good on Arkansas' first drive. In that offense, he's going to be able to carry that team for the next few years.
October 10th, 2009 at 12:13 PM ^
I am glad ND doesn't have Arkansas on the schedule. Audibled, rushed for a first down himself, just missing that end of drive TD
October 10th, 2009 at 12:42 PM ^
I'm not able to glean from the sportscasters, does he have a strong arm?
October 10th, 2009 at 1:12 PM ^
Well I am not 100% sure, but they keep mentioning UM, did he play at UM :)
October 10th, 2009 at 3:13 PM ^
Does anyone know if he happens to carry weapons? I heard he might be a gunslinger.
October 10th, 2009 at 12:11 PM ^
Damn I took too long to look up the viewing guide.
October 10th, 2009 at 12:14 PM ^
fixed. R-Kansas is looking good. I was just as impressed by their D holding Auburn to the 3 and out.
October 10th, 2009 at 12:15 PM ^
And the inevitable "we're talking good about you so you screw up the PAT" play.
October 10th, 2009 at 12:16 PM ^
to it
October 10th, 2009 at 12:49 PM ^
Iowa State just did the same thing against Kansas. ISU is up 6-0 5 minutes into the game. ISU did force Kansas to punt to start. Kansas blitzed and the wheel route opened up with on one covering.
No versus is having technical difficulties. No picture.
October 10th, 2009 at 12:19 PM ^
Didn't mean to mess with your mojo. I just figured with the night game and all you might be changing up your routine.
October 10th, 2009 at 12:26 PM ^
Nah, I just slept in longer than usual as work was rained out today. I'm feeling pretty lazy today.
October 10th, 2009 at 12:15 PM ^
...if Minnesota and Purdue are bad at defense and thus make each others' offenses look good, but they both look pretty capable on offense. This isn't groundbreaking analysis, but the Michigan-Purdue game should be a shootout.
October 10th, 2009 at 12:19 PM ^
I'm intrigued by this game for some reason. IME, they are pretty similar teams, but Minnesota should be able to get the win here.
Definitely going back and forth between this game and watching Mallet and his Razorbacks.
October 10th, 2009 at 12:22 PM ^
I'd like to see an Arkansas game where they didn't talk about Mallet playing for Michigan for 5 minutes
October 10th, 2009 at 12:37 PM ^
Seriously, it's to the point of ridiculous. It's not that it's mentioned once, but like every other play. Ad nauseum.
October 10th, 2009 at 12:44 PM ^
DeQuinta Jones.
October 10th, 2009 at 12:26 PM ^
This Illinois defense looks horrible. MSU is running right over them, and it's not like they are doing anything special out there. The Illini front line cannot get any push, and every tackle is being made by the secondary. I'm sure MSU will win this game and they'll be "back", but Illinois looks to be the worst team in the Big 10 right now.
October 10th, 2009 at 1:52 PM ^
I expected their defense to struggle, but I'm surprised that their offense is nonexistent. I have to agree that right now they look like the worst team in the conference. That's just unacceptable with a QB like Juice. Zook's days are numbered.
October 10th, 2009 at 12:31 PM ^
Sparty bringing the wood. 14-0.
October 10th, 2009 at 12:33 PM ^
Is either better than I thought or Illinois is truly horrible. But State sure looks good (early) on the road.
October 10th, 2009 at 12:40 PM ^
Illinois is definitely as bad as they look this year (and State's offense does have some decent playmakers). Meanwhile, looking at the rest of MSU's schedule (including today), what do people think, 7-5? I'd think the two losses would be to Iowa and PSU with likely wins against Illinois, NW, WMU (or maybe not), and Purdue and a close one against Minnesota. There's also room in there for an upset win and the usual play down to the opponents' level loss.
October 10th, 2009 at 12:47 PM ^
Illinois' defense is letting MSU run all over them, but apparently there's always room for S-P-A-R-T-Y-N-O
October 10th, 2009 at 12:41 PM ^
The SEC officials at Mississippi State all signal third down, the chains all say third down, Houston plays as if it's third down. It was fourth down. Turnover on downs. Sigh...
October 10th, 2009 at 12:46 PM ^
Of the infamous Colorado v. Missouri 5th down game.
October 10th, 2009 at 12:43 PM ^
Man, that Minnesota crowd sounds quiet. How in the world is anyone complaining about them?
October 10th, 2009 at 12:52 PM ^
For State. That turnover would have been just what the Illini needed.
October 10th, 2009 at 12:49 PM ^
Which game should I be watching right now and where can I get it streaming from the internet?
October 10th, 2009 at 12:56 PM ^
ESPN 360. I'd go with Purdue/Minny or Auburn/Arky.
October 10th, 2009 at 1:00 PM ^
I have been trying to watch some of that Purdue/Minny game. But man, it's a snoozer. What a boring game.
October 10th, 2009 at 1:02 PM ^
Pam Ward makes me not want to look up at the game, so doing statistics is a lot easier. Hooray grad school.
October 10th, 2009 at 1:01 PM ^
Houston @ Mississippi State is also a pretty good game. Houston's trying to tie it up at 7 with 2:44 left in the 1st quarter.
October 10th, 2009 at 1:03 PM ^
Keenum threw a GREAT fade to the corner with a untouched blitzer in his face. PAT good. Tied 7-7.
Also, this game is on ESPN360, too.
October 10th, 2009 at 1:05 PM ^
Hmm, you must be getting it regionally. I'm not, but I'm up here in the Union.
October 10th, 2009 at 1:08 PM ^
Nah, I just assumed that ESPNU would also be put on there. Apparently not. Never mind.
October 10th, 2009 at 12:49 PM ^
BOOM! That was a huge hit in the auburn-arkansas game. LB blew up that swing pass.
October 10th, 2009 at 12:51 PM ^
your going to cost me 150 bucks! get your shit together!!
October 10th, 2009 at 12:54 PM ^
You'd think State would've worked on NOT taking stupid personal foul penalties after last week, wow
Here's your Rotel-Velveeta combination of the game: Michigan State and 130 yard drives
October 10th, 2009 at 12:54 PM ^
And they do it on back-to-back plays.
October 10th, 2009 at 12:59 PM ^
And the announcers keep talking about how Dantonio is a disciplinarian, yet MSU was 4th in the Big 10 last year in penalties and is currently 2nd this year. So while he might seem tough and gruff, his team continues to play with more recklessness than you would think.
October 10th, 2009 at 1:01 PM ^
Dantonio just told me that you're short and that by mentioning the Big 10 you're focusing on other teams besides his
October 10th, 2009 at 1:05 PM ^
I was just going to mention this. Don't forget, the announcer said he was a "well-documented" disciplinarian. It's also funny with Winston running around out there.
October 10th, 2009 at 12:53 PM ^
Sparty is not going to lose this game, unfortunately. They'll be 3-3, and we'll have to hear about how they are on their way back. Jebus, it's going to be an annoying week...
October 10th, 2009 at 12:57 PM ^
If we take care of business, this week won't be annoying at all.
October 10th, 2009 at 1:00 PM ^
That's true. But winning at night in Iowa vs. early afternoon in Illinois makes that tougher. But even if UM wins, you'll still hear about how MSU is coming back, watch out, etc.
