Week 5: Best thing you saw...
Well...not what many of us expected in a couple phases, and quite the day. Win and advance.
I love college football. There is no better sport - March Madness is in second - but life often offers up things that are better. Best thing I saw today was my brother marrying the most perfect woman for him. He had the decency to not schedule it for a rivalry game or the B1G opener.
Watching guests staring at phones during the reception, following myriad games was pretty funny. The Clemson alum in particular.
What you got?

Enjoy winning this round of the (pre) marriage game. Cause once you say "I do," you'll find the game analysis goes quickly to Advantage: Wife.

- Hawai'i (2-3) beat Nevada
- UCF (3-2) beat East Carolina
- Colorado (4-1) beat Oregon State
- Ped State (3-2) beat Minnehaha
Could've done without that last one, but at least our CV looks better.

More worried about Rutgers than Iowa right now in terms of road games. Minnesota and Indiana wins last year mitigated the road bug that Hoke had but I am still thinking there could be a hangover from yesterday.

They're our biggest rival after Ilinois!

Minnesota is a bunch of thugs.
Apparently you already forgot about the Shane Morris and Jake Rudock blows to the head - all no calls.

cheap shot? he laid out lewis with a perfect hit, hes doing his job. its not his fault hes often unblocked and in position to make big hits

This will happen when you start reading your own press releases. Plus every time I hear a talking head mention the Lewis hit they stop short of telling about the kicker getting the short end.
October 2nd, 2016 at 10:11 AM ^
but the Minn player deserved to be ejected because on one big hit the kicker had already kicked it out the endzone and was just jogging down the field.

Best thing I saw was a team that knows how to win a very physical hard fought game. A team that made the plays it needed to win the game. And I will throw in a defense that kept punishing their QB to the point where he was not capable of making a big play in the 4th qtr.
October 2nd, 2016 at 8:26 AM ^
this was a home game gainst a team missing its starting QB and best LB as well. some here are not sold on speight and want to see O'Korn get some snaps. what could harbaughs reasons to go with speight over O'Korn be? wisconsin is a solid team, but with this QB they are horrible offensively. their playcalling did the young QB no favors imo. run on 1st&2nd down and pass on 3rd and long isn't exactly helping a young inexperienced QB, that blew me away how vanilla they were through out the game. gave me nighmares of tresselball.

Griese was pretty impressive yesterday. That game was so stressful to watch and yet he was so calm and objective in the booth. No way I could have done that.

think has stunted his success. herbstriet shot up faster then any other sportcaster in recent memory because he was able to be objective almost to the point he was over doing it when he was covering osu. he also piled on unneccessarily when it came to tattoogate and osu's offensive problems under tressell.

obviously pretty self-absorbed and completely uninspired. I think that's kinda what the networks look for, but guys like Keith Jackson, Red Barber, and Gus Johnson--each in very different ways--suggest there's room for brains and personality in calling games.

No sarcasm at all. I find him to be one of the better analysts for CFB. What criticism did you hear that was unjust?
October 2nd, 2016 at 11:53 AM ^
The one comment (that he repeated several times) that annoyed me was about the officiating, when the Wisconsin NT was called for holding. Griese kept saying a Michigan player should have been called for holding (which he might not have been wrong about), but even after the replay showed the NT with an obvious hold: arm extended with a handful of the back of the Michigan player's jersey, Griese kept insisting he didn't see a hold. It seems like sometimes he just tries too hard to prove he's not a homer.
October 2nd, 2016 at 9:33 AM ^
He can go call other BIG games to be unbias. At least when the ref got some bs call, don't shut up your mouth and ignore it (couple with no replay from ABC/ESPN, their typical routine when Ref has bad call sometimes).
He's worse than chris spielman calling Michigan game. Wait, chris spielman went to Fox, is that why they have Griese tcalling michgian this year?

Michigan was +2 yesterday and is now +6 for the season. (By my math) What a huge improvement over the past two regimes.

The other impressive thing I saw was the dominance at the like of scrimmage by Michigan. They weren't perfect, it translate to points (thanks kickers), but we moved the pile more often than Wisconsin. I think that qualifies as outhitting if Frost is wondering.
The score indicated a close game, which is what matters, I get it, but the statistics showed Michigan to be a better team. Imagine what was going on a few years ago and then I think we will get a better perspective of what this win means.
