Noon games open thread
Some pretty decent games going on at noon finally. TCU-OSU (NTOSU) should be a good one on FOX. And TT-WV features the last undefeated team in the Big XII. South Car-Tenn and UGa-Vandy could be interesting. Florida-Mizzou is suddenly a big game that starts at 12:30. And if you really hate yourself you can watch Sparty beat up on Purdue or see NW-Minny.
TT already up on WV

I'll throw this in that USC (NTUSC) is also playing pretty poorly. I know Tenn is on the rise, but I'm not seeing why the Gamecocks are #11 right now.
October 19th, 2013 at 2:13 PM ^
Well that's not true. You know why they are #11. ESS EEE SEE. Although after watching a lot of other teams today I think picking teams outside of the top 7 or so is like playing darts right now. Everyone is bad.
October 19th, 2013 at 2:22 PM ^
I think it has more to do with that great ESE EE SEE speed.
October 19th, 2013 at 2:11 PM ^
...TWIS will be delicious.
October 19th, 2013 at 2:16 PM ^
You're making the very dangerous assumption that Purdue understands what those end zones are for.
October 19th, 2013 at 2:16 PM ^
You just gave them the win. Thanks alot...
October 19th, 2013 at 2:15 PM ^
Am I the only one that thinks Darqueze Dennard holds the WR or committs PI on nearly every play?
October 19th, 2013 at 2:16 PM ^
October 19th, 2013 at 2:18 PM ^
I always hear MSu fans complaining about the PI against them ( many of which actually were BS), but the number against Dennard that aren't called baffle me.

Which naturally means my Browns will take him in the 3rd.
October 19th, 2013 at 2:23 PM ^
Considering the number of penalties that have been called on him, I don't think you are the only one.

About the only way the annnouncer can put a positive spin on this MSU Purdue game.
October 19th, 2013 at 2:17 PM ^
Purdue pins State and then gets a facemask that gets them back out to normal field position. Good job, boys.
Also, Minny is suddenly up on NW and is trying to effectively end their season.
October 19th, 2013 at 2:20 PM ^
Pat Fitzgerald could potentially go from candidate for the UCS job to 4-3 with and with 3 conference road games left.
October 19th, 2013 at 2:19 PM ^
B1G: Everybody sucks. Except OSU.

LOLtackling by Purdue. It's pretty glaring to watch Mizzou-Florida then switch to whatever this is.
October 19th, 2013 at 2:20 PM ^
October 19th, 2013 at 2:25 PM ^
Yea, I made that point earlier too. The only difference is that's a lot less forgiveable against Florida's schedule.
October 19th, 2013 at 2:20 PM ^
October 19th, 2013 at 2:22 PM ^
Get well soon coach.

TT losing to WV. The Big12 looks a lot like the Big10 this year. No great teams and a lot of inconsistent ones.
October 19th, 2013 at 2:25 PM ^
October 19th, 2013 at 2:23 PM ^
Florida returnes the opening half kickoff for a TD. We are now at the dreaded 13-10 SEC score. Purdue and MSU wondering how they put so many points on the board.
October 19th, 2013 at 2:27 PM ^
October 19th, 2013 at 2:29 PM ^
Considering the MSU-PU game is on, you must have forgotten the /s tag. Mizzou has looked a lot better on defense than I thought they would and they have driven the ball on Florida.
October 19th, 2013 at 2:24 PM ^
Killer offenses for Purdue and MSU today. Real fun game to watch.
October 19th, 2013 at 2:25 PM ^
October 19th, 2013 at 2:26 PM ^
Neither is ours. First one to 3 points will probably win.
October 19th, 2013 at 2:31 PM ^
Our running game isn't good, but our passing game can be lethal when Devin is on his game. As it is, his YPA for the season is very good.
October 19th, 2013 at 2:31 PM ^
October 19th, 2013 at 2:27 PM ^
Except you know that Sparty will play their offensive game against us. We will need to score.
October 19th, 2013 at 2:34 PM ^
Don't use the transitive theory. Cook cant hit anything today - that happens from time to time. Same kid who threw 70% last week. His OL protects him extremely well - big difference from 2012 when MSU OL was a sieve. He is a sophomore - they will have ups and downs. UM is their super bowl, so they will have emotion and if Cook hits 55% of his throws they will have a competent offense as they have a few good RBs (Langford and their freshman). I dont know if Purdue plays a press coverage either - I have watched about 15 minutes of this monster of a game only, but we certainly don't so WRs will be open. MSU defense will keep them in any game save for Oregon and a few teams like that. There are none of those teams in the Big 10. None.
October 19th, 2013 at 2:36 PM ^
Purdue has given 40+ points in 4 of 6 games. 30+ in 5 of 6. They almost lost to Indiana St. and were outgained in that game. They are a bad football team and there D is awful.

MSU punter is damn good - so many times he pinned Purdue inside the 10 when our punter could not execute a pooch punt once. Special teams makes a difference in close games and we have been severely lacking this year. For all the dumb things Sparty does they have had 2-3 top end punters back to back, and of course now play a level of defense that essentially won games against 2 poop teams in games 1-2 and has the only points today. But I am envious of that punter, who booms it 60 yards when necessary but still has placement skills for the pooches. Effects field position all day, every game.

Purdue drops 8 into coverage and leaves a guy wide open at the sticks. This is sad.
October 19th, 2013 at 2:35 PM ^
I was just talking with a friend. How many Big Ten programs are better today than they were 10 years ago?
I could only realisitically make an argument for Indiana. That was it. Everyone else was either about the same or worse. How sad is that?
October 19th, 2013 at 2:55 PM ^
Arguably, Wisconsin, Northwestern, Nebraska, Michigan State and Indiana are better than they were ten years ago.
It's close, but these teams have been a little more consistent.
Hard to say with OSU until they play more elite teams, but it's hard to argue with undefeated.
October 19th, 2013 at 2:35 PM ^
Man, these BTN announcers are getting psyched out of their mind that someone entered the redzone
October 19th, 2013 at 2:36 PM ^
Welp. At worst MSU is in chip shot field goal position. Game over.
