I know you played in the Big Ten. Who did you play for? I know you've probably put it on here before but I guess I haven't seen it.
I'm embarrassed to say this season... I played for Minnesota. We were better then and I got to play in a bowl game. Bonus points if you know your NCAA football history. You'll understand my special hatred for Notre Dame.

Would that have anything to do with the 1977 Notre Dame national championship from the #5 ranking? (I am guessing through some wiki-pedia-fu)

Take a look at Notre Dame coaches in the 80's.

You got me. Of course I didn't know anyone needed a special reason to hate Notre Dame It must be Lou Holtz. Again, no special reason needed to hate him, but I get it now. As an aside, my wife's family are huge Southern California fans, so they also hate ND and Holtz and she went to college at the other USC- South Carolina. It was pretty much hell when he was coaching there.

I'm still crushed that you think I'm old enough to have played in 77. Damnit!

Well I didn't see anything special about Notre Dame during the two seasons I had originally figured you might have played that they went to bowl games. And the Gopher page on wikipedia doesn't really mention Holz at all in any way so I was confused.

My brother in law is an OSU fan. That will make them happy.
I'm sure my Horns are going to get trounced tonight. I had tickets to the game, but gave them away because of the new baby.

Well I know quite a few watering holes to drown in over in that area as well as Chicago...considering there is nothing to actually do up there at this time of day.

I didn't watch, listen to, check scores on, or even record a single game today. What's wrong with me?!
I'm sorry that the Utes went down to Notre (hisssss) Dame, but I never had much hope for them after the beating they took from TCU. That was a really big chance for them, which they ought to have had a shot at, and I imagine it will take a while to get over the way it went down.

Nothing like spending a couple of grand to go watch your team lay a complete egg. Definitely cool to see a game at Notre Dame though, they really know how to do it.
I have sufficient room supplies to drown my sorrows.

So Ron Zook continues to lead the Illini into obscurity. Losing to the 2-9 Gophers at home.
WTB a real coach in Champaign, not some guy who got lucky with Steve Spurrier's leavings. What am I saying, Illinois is officially a basketball school anyway.

Eh even if we'd made that kick, they had FG position at the end.
The real issue is the random backup QB we are having to run out there going 10 for 28.

Oregon is a team that really wears teams down over the course of a game. Don't let late game victories fool you with Oregon. It's what they're built to do.

Ok...but the blood is in the water now for Oregon. I think Arizona, being a solid defense ranked in the top 20 nationally, will give them issues.

I couldn't watch most of the game because UGA was tight with Auburn for a long time, but exactly what caused Utah's offense to completely fail?

Our QB is playing scared and the play calling is atrocious. Plus for some odd reason the refs were particularly hard on us. I've never seen an interior D lineman called for holding on a running play. Add in a blocked punt for a TD and fumbling the second half kickoff and it is a debacle.

Yeah that's a recipe for disaster. Defense holding on a lineman? Shit that's as rare as an illegal hands to the face call.

Lucky, as in fired? Hey, you had Jeff George. Illinois has to at least be a little bit of a football school. Lucky as in had a couple of 8 win seasons. (Which Ron Turner had done like once). Illinois has had some pretty great players over the last decade and a half, and several times teams that were chock full of great talent. And we have had 3 coaches in a row that suck balls at doing anything with them.

How's the high school football in Chicago? By all rights, Illinois really should be able to put together a pretty good team.

Penn State stays close for the first half and loses by 10. Or 24, same thingGeorgia loses to Auburn by a TD that would have happened if we didn't fold in the last 10 minutesStanford crushes ASU by 20 4 points is not a crushingOkie State beats up on Texas by 17 ok this is exactly what happened...I'm scared. Hold me.MS State upsets Alabama in Bama, fans curse God. Way off. Fans praise MS State's lack of coverage.Northwestern wins at home against Iowa Ding Ding Ding!Utah cruises past ND by at least 20 Missouri covers the 12.5 against K State only won by 10. Bah!Arizona wins by at least 2 scores against USC Turns out Arizona sucks.Florida beats the shit out of an overranked South Carolina team 30-7 Try reversing that, numbnuts.Nevada wins by a late FG against Fresno State Turned out to be a late TD, but still!Texas A&M eeks one out against Baylor Depends on if 12 points is your version of an eek, but I think giving up 30, it probably isJust for recap purposes.

They are scrambling to figure out a way to keep TCU out of the game. They have had their lips firmly on Boise's dick all year.
