Heck...this ULM/Auburn game might be the funnest to watch for the noon games.
EDIT: Also the Auburn DC has a sweet 70's porn stache working today.

I don't think I have ever seen a coach whose physical appearance was so in line with the team he coaches. Dude just LOOKS like he should be the DC for a team like Auburn.

Purdues D is good enough to help them win at least 8 games in this sorry big ten this season. If they cant get to 8 then Hope needs to be gone.
September 15th, 2012 at 12:52 PM ^
Golson and Gillette are terrible passers. I want to see how Purdue defends a team that can pass and run with equal effectiveness.
This just in: Tarbush sucks.
September 15th, 2012 at 12:55 PM ^
Who is a balanced good team in the big ten though? All the teams have flaws and Purdue is good enough on D to win some of those games. Heck we cant run the ball with a RB now, Wiscy is a shell and I dont think anyone is fooled by Braxton Miller quite yet.
September 15th, 2012 at 12:57 PM ^
You have to respect his arm and legs. I do think UM will get Toussaint going eventually.

WTF is going on in this Pitt.-Va. Tech game?!? Late start to the day and to football watching. I've been watching the other games for the last half hour and flip over to see this game on, and now it is now about to be 21-0 Pitt (who has looked God awful thus far in the season).
September 15th, 2012 at 12:53 PM ^
Pitt is gonna win the Big East! JUST YOU WATCH!!! It wouldn't be the Big East if it didn't happen!
September 15th, 2012 at 12:54 PM ^
down 21-0 with 13:03 left in the second.

Against Cal...the 68th best Defense.

Braxton Miller is basically shredding the Cal defense in the air and on the ground at this point - 124 yards passing, 66 yards rushing so far in the game.
RE: Pitt-Virginia Tech. - did Tony Dorsett still have some eligibility left? Is that it?
September 15th, 2012 at 1:03 PM ^
Eastern has had good success on the edges.
September 15th, 2012 at 1:05 PM ^
That sounds so similar...
September 15th, 2012 at 1:18 PM ^
The Goofers are in trouble.

Two personal fouls on the same play in different places. I'm not sure if I have ever seen that before.
September 15th, 2012 at 1:18 PM ^
Ohio showing no discipline at all.
September 15th, 2012 at 1:19 PM ^
Ohio playing like a bunch of goons. On one play they just had a terrible facemask and a late hit on the quarterback, with two other personal fouls on the same drive. Looks like Urban Meyer's family values haven't been able to correct the thuggery of Columbus.

On this latest Cal drive, what looks like a clean TD run gets called back for offensive holding, and on the next play, Cal makes a first down plus half the distance to the goal on a facemask call on Ohio (roughing the passer, also called, was declined).
Cal gets another holding call on them at the 12 now, so we might very well get back to where all this began in another play or two.
...and unnecessary roughness (which was arguably incidental contact) against Cal creates a long field goal, which is no good, and then more holding on Cal...wow, this is sh*t officiating...can we have a play where there isn't a torrent of yellow flags at the end of it?
September 15th, 2012 at 1:23 PM ^
More mystery calls for the Buckeyes. Cal player gets hit with a personal foul when it was a mutual hit, the Ohio player just got the worst of it. Home field advantage.

September 15th, 2012 at 1:27 PM ^
As much as I hate Ohio and always want to blame them for everything...to me it looked like the Buckeye player saw the Cal guy coming at the last second and lowered his shoulder instinctually so as not to get blown up.
September 15th, 2012 at 1:24 PM ^
September 15th, 2012 at 1:25 PM ^
September 15th, 2012 at 1:26 PM ^
Utter failure on that last Cal drive; by everyone on the field! Terrible holding call by the referees, incompetence by Cal and Ohio being dirty dirty.
September 15th, 2012 at 1:26 PM ^
September 15th, 2012 at 1:30 PM ^
It's pretty interesting when the commentators are saying the refs are suspicious (nice try, OSU)
September 15th, 2012 at 1:30 PM ^
So awesome. I can't stand Auburn
14-7 ULM pending the XP

SEC network and espn3 or 360 or whatever it's called now
September 15th, 2012 at 1:38 PM ^
but I have it on ESPN3. Might be a regional showing on like ESPN2/ESPNU

Is black suit/white shirt/black tie the look for Bachelor contestants now or did Jesse have a funeral this morning?

Trick play scores a TD for Auburn. Die Tiger scum.
September 15th, 2012 at 2:01 PM ^
Best block ever, in the VT/Pitt game during that punt? I think so!
