Wow, WSU corner plays 7 yards off the WR on 4th and goal from the four, and backpedals at the snap. Miami WR runs 4 yards and turns around on the goal line for one of the easiest TDs I've seen in a while. CB didn't realize he was standing in the end zone?

This makes absolutely no sense.

It would make a lot more sense if you wish our next game @Rutgers was in Yankee Stadium OR if you became a Purdue fan...being a Purdue fan would make a ton of sense hoping for a Pinstripe Bowl.

I'm sure your wife would do just fine in LA for the Rose Bowl. Or in Tampa next year for a National Championship game.

IU vs. Duke, both wearing the home uniforms. Love the color contrast. Really wanted Harbaugh/Meyer to start this this year, but I doubt that would ever happen under Harbaugh.

I'm rooting for Indiana, but boy does their offensive line get away with a lot of blatant holds. And they just got the benefit of a questionable pass interference call. And their receiver was bobbling the ball on the catch for touchdown and it wasn't reviewed.

so I'd rather not start another topic but my god brother worked for a company that worked for durkin. durkins wife told them during casual conversation that he had appropriate accepted a job to Syracuse before but when she saw the snow there that there was no way she was on board so he heh declined. while on a recruiting visit for Michigan in the Maryland area he was asked to stop in and speak to interview for the position. he accepted the position on site which raises some questions. especially considering the defense he trotted out there against osu.

and that would be crazy if true and possibly verify the rumors I'd heard of him being quite unhappy here. I didn't want to post it out of fear of the MGoBaughfia but I know a UM staffer (a nobody, not main assistant, not even in team photo) that claims he basically kept to himself the last 3rd of the season. Not outright animosity or the like but a strange tension that lingered. He just seemed unhappy and I guess he never openly or blatantly skimped on his duties but had a very solitary existence toward the end there. He's often around those guys as they shuffle around and though I'll say right now that he DOES NOT converse with them beyond very small talk, this also isn't a guy that looks to talk for talking sake. I believed him before the very vague but possibly telling Harbaugh quotes came out after hiring Brown. He never said it but I get the impression that Durkin just didn't want to be there anymore and/or felt he should have his own program at that point. Some guys are assistants and some guys want assistants, nothing necessarily wrong with that. If it effected his osu prep it's a problem but too late now.
