B1G Championship Game

Could you add the B1G game, or would that jinx things?

St. Louis is saved

I just got a call from ABC 30. The map is right and the guide is wrong. She was thankful since she got at least 10 calls today about it. Thank God Mizzou is not in the Big 12 anymore or we'd be getting Texas.

Regardless, I fear that our voices may not be heard.  Regardless of that, I will continue to cheer on, hopeful that we take those bastards down year in and year out.

This is exactly why our voices will not be heard.  They know that regardless we will continue to cheer on.  They'll do what they want.

Factors for Maris

1. He was healthy pretty much for the first time the whole year.
2. The short porch in right at Yankee Stadium.
3. Probably most importantly...expansion. Pitching was watered down.

All the time?

I can think of two in the last twelve years. McGwire and Edmonds. Matt Holliday certainly didn't take a discount. The Cardinals were basically bidding against themselves and gave him a huge contract.

Sorry, but the "hometown discount" is as much a myth as the reputation Cardinal fans have as being the best in baseball.

All you have to do....

is "unfriend" him before you post and he won't have the pleasure of seeing it.

Running Clock

"Oops. Why does the clock keep running after penalties like this?"

I was thinking the same thing during the game. Is this supposed to happen? If so, I guess I never paid attention.

This would be a great way to run out the clock before the half if you were on offense and just wanted to "get into the locker room". Just keep purposely false starting and the clock would keep running with a new play clock. At the very least it would force your opponent to burn a timeout they would have been able to use on offense.

Non timeout

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Illinois had the wind in that situation so that would play into the decision not to take the timeout. The other factor was the earlier muffed punt, so I figured RichRod just wanted to keep momentum and the lead going into halftime and not risk the fact that we can't HOLD ON TO THE DAMN BALL!

Penn State fans are hilarious

This is the comment I got after linking the pic...

"It's pretty clear to me he is off the field.

The side judge is right there and his foot is on the white part.

Unless you want to count the coach who is also in the white part of the field as on the field?"

Penn State without a doubt

Obsessing? Obviously, Penn State fans. It's not only complaining about bad calls, they actually believe in some vast conspiracy involving Michigan.

I understand

I tell myself that as well as the fact that this will keep Weis around longer...both good things.
However, I think it's the way they won (win) plus the 30+ years of hatred that boils over.

Ok...until

I actually felt OK until that frustrating ND game, now I feel worse about both games.

Illinois is brutal

Not only will you see plenty of "Muck Fichigan" shirts, but you'll see ones with the correct lettering.

I won't take my kids to the game, but I'll be there. Good luck.

Trouble...

Thanks for the insight. I'm hoping to catch a replay on Universal HD because I didn't see much of the game and didn't TiVo it.

This is the quote that's troubling and, of course I immediately thought about it watching the Floyd highlights...

"We need a big game from our safeties."

I guess I'm a pessimist, but I just don't see it. I hope I'm wrong, and I also really hope we can score first and HOLD ON TO THE GODDAMN BALL. That would be nice.

The Wolf Chimes In...

"Well, let's not start sucking each other's dicks quite yet."

Wally Wick

Thanks for not using the "clean" Wally Wick version.

He's still the superintendent

He's still the superintendent in Edwardsville, Illinois (near St. Louis)

Gardner

I read somewhere that Gardner was an OSU fan growing up. Have you guys heard that?
