Looks like me trying to play QWOP.

The NFL Doesn't Have iPads

They have a contract with Microsoft Surface, and are not allowed to use iPads at least on the sideline.  Even if the announcers can't get it straight.

Great Post! Carry us to victory, Devin!
This is fair.

I may have misinterpretted the intent of the point, which I thought was, "why would you need a timeout?"

 

Personally, when I saw Bellomy scrambling, I started calling for a wildcat formation, or a direct snap to Norfleet.

Re: Timeout

It doesn't matter how much time was on the playclock, Gardner had to leave the field for 1 play after losing his helmet.  Leaving the field for 1 play can be avoided by calling a timeout.

 

Lots of reasons to dislike Hoke and his QB management, time left on the clock to get Gardner back in is not one of them.

I'm going to spend the rest of the year watching other team's coaches, and wondering if we can buy out the last years of their contracts. Time to snag another coach from West Virginia!
I didn't have a problem with the defense

In my perception, Taylor and Peppers were the top two corners, and Countess was overrated as a man defender.  Take away the top two young corners, we don't have much in the way of experience.  You're counting on Countess, who hasn't looked like a world-beater following his injury and people who haven't proven themselves.  The rest of the defense played pretty darn well, given the position they were put in.

You sure?

Seemed like you had it right the first time.

Dude. No. I wasn't there for Dude. No. I wasn't there for the original app state game, but the mood leaving Akron was an irritated/disheartened "that shouldn't have been that close, maybe we aren't that good, but I wasn't expecting the Rose bowl anyway." Going from national championship aspirations in 07 to losing to a double A school in the first game... That was a mental collapse in expectations. That was the Horror. Today was constant fear of another collapse since the game was announced up until about the first quarter ended.
Agreed.

The school (particularly the administration) appeal to the Limbaugh crowd for donations, but very little of the instruction or student body conversations have the political bombastery of his show.

Another Hillsdale Alumnus here

Should be a laugher.  It'll be a good one to watch Andrew Dakich dominate for 35 minutes.

RGIII Wasn't he traded up for by Washington?
Nervous but confident I've seen too many reports of every matchup being something we can't handle, only for the team to rise to the occasion. I have faith in the players and coaches to pull off unbelievable things.
TWIS Needs to be an occasional thing in the basketball season. Maybe TMIS.
Not offended Even if it was intentional, he recovered and stopped immediately. Thinking better of a momentary outburst is fine by me.
Ohio State In the big ten tourney. Gritty craft.
Go Blue Go Saint Louis as well, to part the seas for Michigan. Also, go Kentucky and Mercer.
And the illusion that $1B is mine

can last for another half hour or so.

Shock the world!

I've got Dayton outscoring Ohio and then beating the Syracuse zone.  That's what billion dollar dreams are made of.

This I did this while driving during the UM-MSU game. It worked pretty well streaming from my iPhone.
Kovacs too!

You have to love Denard, Kovacs and Hoke back together again.

However Just to continue my entrance to mgoblog as a grammar nazi, I approve the appropriate use of the word "however," in the last sentence of the post. As a post-positive, it should not be used to begin a sentence. It should, however, be used to qualify a previous statement. This is the first time I've seen the word used appropriately in years, even season reporters frequently flub its use.
That

was glorious.  I couldn't help but smile.

AP Poll

Glad to see we're on top of Iowa and Wisconsin.  I can understand being behind MSU, given our extra losses.  

The travesty

is when we use intelligent words appropriately, but spell them incorrectly.  

Excuse me,

Could you please direct me to early?  Which way?

Hoke lip reading

Looks to me like "go for effing two, get it."
