I'm kind of laid up with some sort of sickness, and two B1G games are starting here within the hour, so I'm throwing out the game thread 12 hours early. Executive decision ran up all the proper flagpoles.
Anyways, I was planning on BBQ tomorrow - supposed to be great weather. But that is probably not happening because I don't want to snot all over the food. It's not quite chili weather, so no need to stock up on beans just yet. Though a one pot meal that I don't have to think about much is attractive. The kids have taekwondo in the morning, maybe I'll see what I can get together. The kids have taekwondo in the morning - it's next to that Kroger where that lady got shot by the cops. Hopefully they have something good on sale and I won't get shot.

That's good PR - next to the store where that lady got shot. Maybe better to open a fire arms joint
-
I think Colorado wins pretty easily, just don't see Nebraska holding pace and being able to go score for score and I have zero faith in Jeff Sims.
I hope I am wrong though. I hope Nebraska plays with a chip on their shoulder, makes it an ugly ass defensive battle and that they don't turn the ball over. A guy can dream, right? I was pro-Coach Prime but he's going after the #1 player in Michigan and the entire nation in QB Bryce Underwood and now I want him to lose every single game here on out and fall flat on his face. LETS GO CORNHUSKERS. Wtf is a corn husker by the way?

The true crime is they closed the liquor store for a few days

I was thinking Nebraska would pull the upset all week - they seem to play functional defense, which isn't something TCU does. But even if they play well I have zero faith they can actually get a win. Another close loss feels destined.

that's about where I'm at. have to score points to get the upset. how is Nebraska going to score? Shedeur Sanders is too good and those weapons at WR are legit with Horn, Hunter, and the RB Edwards...they are going to score some points. how does Nebraska?
-
I'm pulling for the Huskers, but think the Cheater Buffs will probably win it.
Not cooking this weekend, we're hosting my son's 14th birthday party during the day so delivery pizza will be on order, and then tomorrow night for "The Big Game" I'm meeting some buds at a chicken wing sports bar joint. Probably to commiserate, maybe to celebrate.
-
pluckers?
or Duffs?
-
how does Nebraska?
hopefully, with the running game
Jeff Simms obviously runs better than he passes
-
Friday night is for the high schoolers!
-
well, I don't follow or watch much HS football, so I appreciate Illinois vs Kansas
-
Illinois defense needs to adjust
it's early
-
Kansas up 14-0. Illinois doesn't do something here soon this about to be blowout city.
-
Sparty should have hired Lance Leipold
-
Friday night is for the high schoolers!
Not on topic but old OSU quarterback and my neighbor Stanley Jackson started coaching for our local high school and pulled in lots of old OSU players to help coach, including Beanie Wells.
-
Sparty should have hired Lance Leipold
no thanks. keep Mel there for awhile please.
-
Brad Holmes please figure out how to draft Newton from Illinois in the '24 Draft. Holy shit that guy is good. Would be a dream to pair him on the DL with Hutchinson.
-
Illinois looks like Illinois
Kansas doesn't look like Kansas
-
21-0 now. that's a wrap. game over. Illinois fell off a cliff. Newton made a mistake coming back, should've went pro or hit the portal.
-
wait up, the JAyhawks might be good
wait til they upset the Horns and Sooners
with a little help from the Refs
-
The kids got home and took over my television. But I see Illinois scored finally.
-
Illinois gives up another TD with like under a min left to go in the 2nd QTR right before the half.
28-7 at the half. This one looking ugly for them.
-
Daniels is the real deal.
-
Daniels is the real deal.
he looks really good, but Illinois also probably just kinda sucks.
-
he looks really good, but Illinois also probably just kinda sucks.
I saw enough of him last year. He can play.
-
Was at my oldest kid's HS game . Was stuck on 2-0 for awhile. 48point second half. So much throwing. Game longer than 2.5 hrs.
-
Sparty should have hired Lance Leipold
In the old world, yes. He was Dantonio 2.0.
In this world, screw it. Hell, MSU took more shit for losing in a CFP than we did for winning an Outback Bowl. In this world,.you are either a national title contender, or you are an equal pile of worthlessness. It was clear that coaching up lesser talent had a cap. So if reaching the playoff and getting blasted was somehow worse than being a middling bowl team, then go get the guy who can't coach, but is.going for the talent to try and get you there. Hell, I think hes the same guy as Dabo, but hasn't gotten his Watson/Lawrence combo yet, and probably never will
-
no thanks. keep Mel there for awhile please.
Nick Saban could return to MSU, and the way college football is structured now it wouldn't matter
-
Hope you’re feeling better Sam. Something definitely going around, at least in Ohio. My household and most of my office been fighting something the last few days.
Really excited to watch this Nebraska game. How does Colorado follow-up last week? I wouldn’t want to be in their path right now.
-
I'm up for it.
If Rhule isn't up for it, then hopefully he can learn from it.
too early to tell after this game, but it's a big game for both coaches
Deion Sanders vs. Matt Rhule - The Battle for the Soul of a Nation:
-
pluckers?
or Duffs?
Pluckers for sure, yo.
-
wait up, the JAyhawks might be good
wait til they upset the Horns and Sooners
with a little help from the Refs
They had a lot of help from the refs last year and even got the Horns in Lawrence. Final score, Texas 55 Kansas 14. This year the game is in Austin. Texas may not be Texas, but Texas isn't Illinois.
-
Waking up in Scottsdale AZ this morning. Missing the start of the early games to hit the farmer’s market in Gilbert before it gets too hot. Temps topping 112F here in the Phoenix area today.
Plan for the afternoon is to crawl the sports bars in Tempe with a few buddies until Arizona State’s 7pm kickoff Vs Oklahoma State. Sun Devils games are about the only meaningful time I get with my cousin Kendrick, a season ticket holder.
Earlier in the offseason we picked this early non-conference ASU game because we’d never seen Oklahoma State in person, but now both Arizona schools will be seeing the Cowboys regularly by joining the Big 12.
-
Alright, almost time to watch the Buckeyes take on the 25th ranked team in the Nation.
-
Sparty should have hired Lance Leipold
20 other schools think so too. I've been saying it for years. The guy can coach.
-
Sparty should have hired Prime Deon
-
Throwing three slabs of baby backs on the smoker this afternoon. Some mac & cheese, cole slaw, and cornbread on the side. Might throw some brownies in the oven for dessert too.
Today's game slate is relatively weak. Will probably go for UN-L/UC-B early, maybe Iowa/ISU for the afternoon, all as a lead-in to what MIGHT actually be a good game, Texas/Bama.
-
Sparty should have hired Prime Deon
they stole Colorado's last coach.....maybe try 2 will work out after Mel inevitably gets fired?
-
Nick Saban could return to MSU, and the way college football is structured now it wouldn't matter
Hope you're wrong but like everything else,prolly not

The Athletic with a new story on Texas stud WR Xavier Worthy.....pouring salt in old wounds.....jfc Michigan's admissions are a joke. Fire that entire department. Now. They pull this sh*t right before he's suppose to move in with JJ McCarthy. God fn damnit this team with Xavier Worthy as WR1 would be insane...you're welcome Texas...

Really the had Rashan on campus for 3 yrs WTF

Spent the morning taking a virtual baking class from Zingermans, baking angel food cake and a gluten free chocolate cake. I can't recommend Zingermans enough for baking classes.
Today is the big buckets tournament down at the Flats. Fearless and Harry nearly took the trophy back to Omaha the last time they were here.
https://youtu.be/i8jbCAWYPcE?feature=shared
I would also be remiss if I didn't mention that today would have been Dad's 74th birthday. He passed back in July.

helluva tailgate and crew!

Prime did NOT run out with Ralphie the cow???
bad karma coach

Was there even a Penguin on the screen during that RAC?

Purdue vs Virginia Tech weather delay

Think beer pong, but with 5 gallon buckets and mini basketballs instead of red Solo cups.

Clearly missed something in the Nebraska game. Looked up and Colorado had the ball.
Play-by-play has Ervin rushing for 2 yards on 2nd and 12 in Colorado territory, and then suddenly Colorado has the ball. No mention of fumble or other turnover in the play-by-play, nor in the box score.
What did I miss?
-
botched snap by QB Jeff Sims

Just turned it on GO BIG RED

botched snap by QB Jeff Sims
Got it. So he's finding new ways to turn it over instead of throwing it to the other team now? :57:

If there’s a turnover to be made rest assured Jeff Simms is will find a way
-
Colorado has skill on offense and in the secondary. Obviously.
Their OL and front 7 stinks. Nebraska is destroying their OL right now.
-
have a feeling Jeff Simms gonna rip off a huge run this drive. Or turn it over. Let’s see!
-
Nebraska has a legit defense. I think.
Unfortunately for them…holy shit does their offense suck.
-

He got hurt twice his last season at GT,see what he can do with a 2nd chance. He had a lot of pix there but was running for his life most of the time also. Hell JJ threw 2 pick sixes with an NFL line in front of him - so shyt happens

Buckeyes 14 Penguins 7 in the 2nd Qtr

Zebras best part of Colorado offense so far.

Bugeaters appling the heat there

Colorado OL is god awful. Jesus.

C'mon Ruhle get them stoked and give the D a breather,move some sticks

Idk why they aren’t doing designed runs and read options with Simms. His legs are the only good thing about his game. Use them.

no shit

Makes me wonder how many of TCUs DL starters left

They heard us perhaps

Boilers up on Hokies 7-0

RGIII just shoved a cupcake in the face of his broadcast partner. Super professional.

Buckeyes 21 Penguins 7 in the 2nd Qtr
Jeebis dafuq damn missed FG that could take the wind out of their sails

Lmao jfc it must suck being a Nebraska fan. How snake bitten can one team be.

As someone who pays a push draw, sometimes you just block it right and other times you hook it hard left.

where's Purdy???
-

Well that and a turn over. UNL seemed to own things - then they didn't
-
Defense made a big stop... But you wonder how long the defense is going to feel okay trying to support an offense that sucks.
-
DELAY? maybe Mertz didn't have to go that far
-
I’ll give credit to Mdot. He said this is who Sims was. Looks like he was right.

Frost put all his eggs in the Martinez basket. Cost him a job.
looks to be the same thing for Rhule with Sims
-
At Tech, he sucked for 57 minutes and showed amazing flashes for 3 min.
This is hilarious, though. Announcers talking about limiting turnovers, instant fumble then INT.
Sims is playing like a kid on a video game that doesn't know what the buttons do.

Lmfao. That is exactly how he plays QB…perfect way to describe it.

Colorado can’t stop the run unless they sell out and their OL is weak af.
USC is going to score 60 on them.

Hope FF isn't committing hari kari - as a Browns fan this is hauntingly familiar

We're lucky real life doesn't have football penalty rules:
double murder on the defense
hit-and-run, speeding, drunk driving on the victim
offsetting charges
everyone goes home

James Madison beating UVA is unremarkable, but that's messed up.
What is UVA doing? They're in a talented state. They're a 6.5 point underdog to James Freakin' Madison. There is no reason for this. UVA isn't a sleeping giant, it's a de-clawed 500 lb bear in perpetual hibernation.

Idiots.

Since joining the ACC in 1954, guess how many times the Cavs have had fewer than 3 losses in a season. GUESS!

yup, as long as Sims doesn't take another snap

Still have the small little white walk on returning punts….um…ok? Wtf.
Idk why they haven’t let the young bucks JaDen McBurrows or Jyaire Hill get a start at CB. Still going with the transfer portal CB Josh Wallace and the former walk-on track star Kechaun Harris. Wtf.

Don’t understand why Michigan started Hinton at RT again.
-
Matt Millen seems unaware that crack back blocks are no longer legal.
Blasting a WR for not making a block, that actually was a super heads up play to not draw a penalty

do yourself a favor and put it on mute.
how the f Matt Millen is allowed to be anywhere around football after what he did to the Detroit Lions is beyond me. Dude should be in football Siberia in the gulags.

Can't imagine being a starter on teams like UNLV/Kent St vs Blue Bloods.They are left with head wounds and mouths full of bloody Chiclets. While the suits collect coin in their ivory towers. The treatment meted out in these games would be charged with assault outside of the stadium

not as bad as an FCS vs a blue blood….or at least someone forgot to tell that to Clemson…

just take the points Jay….you have a brand new kicker…let him get FG reps in live action.
And if you’re gonna go for it on a 4th and 3+, don’t run up the gut out of the gun. Run pass option and roll out the athletic QB maybe? Run up the gut on 4th and 1….not 4th and 3…

Kenneth Grant is going to be soooo good. Straight up looks like a UGA dude. A guy that big should not be that cat quick.

Iowa-Iowa St is underrated as a rivalry

Myles Hinton stinks. He just whiffed horribly on that off tackle run and they got 2 yards instead of 10.
Time to try someone else at RT.

Another beautiful evening here at the New Brickhouse.
Gopher first series stalls on a 4th and 1 from the 2. Didn't have a problem with going for it or the play (hard sell on the play action that left Athan rolling out to his left totally alone) but the receivers thought it was a sneak and didn't run patterns.
RBs have put the ball on the ground twice so far. Both have rattled out of bounds but that's a big problem.
WTF is going on in Chapel Hill?

Ewers picking up where he left off last year vs bama….straight up dealin’
13-3, should be 17-3 if Worthy didn’t drop a TD at the goal line.
Feel really good about my pre-season pick of Texas winning the B12 and Bama losing 3-4 games this year. Bryce Young and Will Anderson covered up a lot of warts for them last year. Their new QB stinks at throwing the ball and they can’t get a pass rush on at all without Anderson.
SeC is a trash bag this year outside of Georgia.

There were some rumors during the summer that MSU was conducting an investigation to fire him for cause, and didn't want it to turn into a Kevin Ollie situation.
Guessing this was it.
Now their hand is forced, and they have to suspend him immediately.

The convenience factor sure is interesting.
I’m not sure what to make of the setup idea. Assuming Tracy participated, can’t see a ton of gain there. Then again, I don’t know her life. Seems like I didn’t know Tucker’s either, I suppose.
-
Not familiar with the ins and outs of Title IX, but apparently this was the problem. The investigation wrapped in July, and the hearing is October. With it being public now, maybe he'll voluntarily step aside? I just hope it wasn't MSU who leaked it, because I imagine that would complicate things

At best, he had an affair with a sexual assault survivor with whom he was supposed to be partnering and supporting. IF Spartan AD had a moral clause in his contract then he is done.
this from the USA Today
“Ms. Tracy’s distortion of our mutually consensual and intimate relationship into allegations of sexual exploitation has really affected me,” Tucker wrote in a March 22 letter to the investigator. “I am not proud of my judgment and I am having difficulty forgiving myself for getting into this situation, but I did not engage in misconduct by any definition.”
that appears to be a confession right there
-

If that were true we'd be looking at 1987 SMU type death penalty. Coach and University would both be complicit

Supports a cynical view I hold regarding people. Nothing surprises me about people, they are capable of really anything. This includes this happening as it is reported or as a total set up. Think Wilford Brimley in the firm.

I don't care if it's a setup, doing anything like that with a woman in that position is the worst idea possible. At best, he's wholly stupid. At worst, he's a repulsive, garbage human being.

I pray to god he survives this scandal and sticks around for all 10 of his 10 year, $100 million contract. There isn't a bigger clown coach in college football. #KeepMelatMSU4Ever

It's not scruples, it's dotting your i's and crossing your t's, unless you want to pay the rest of that contract.
It would actually be a Title IX violation to have already fired him for a Title IX complaint. They are currently being sued by the former head of the business school for firing him before the conclusion of the process.
He'll be fired, they just don't want to have to pay him

ELA just explained it...guess they can't fire him until the Title IX investigation process is over or else they'll be on the hook for his $100 million contract.
once the investigation process has concluded, they can cut bait with him for nothing. they have 100 million reasons to drag this out right now.

yeah, he's done, just a matter of when. LINK (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/investigations/2023/09/10/michigan-state-football-coach-sexual-harassment-claim/70679703007/)
Accusing Tucker of sexual harassment is Brenda Tracy, a rape survivor and advocate who worked with Tucker to educate his team on sexual violence. Her “Set the Expectation” campaign had MSU athletes pledge to obtain consent before engaging in sexual acts with another person, as well as discuss healthy sexual practices.
But towards the end of their partnership, Tracy claims Tucker made a phone call that began with a sexually suggestive comment about her appearance and ended with Tucker masturbating on the line.
A section from the investigative report, obtained by USA Today, reads:
“(Tracy) ‘kind of froze’ in the moment at first. (She) thought to herself, ‘Oh my god, this is happening, and I can’t stop it, it’s going to happen whether I like it or not.’ (She) was trying to figure out what to do. It didn’t occur to (her) that she could hang up.”
"The idea that someone could know me and say they understand my trauma but then re-inflict that trauma on me is so disgusting to me, it's hard for me to even wrap my mind around it," Tracy told the USA Today. "It's like he sought me out just to betray me."
In his filings, Tucker admits to masturbating on the call, but denies it was nonconsensual. He claims they had a mutual romantic connection even prior to the phone call, and that they frequently made flirtatious comments towards one another. He alleges Tracy wanted a “sugar daddy” who would regularly pay her money in exchange for sexual and romantic favors.
Tracy says the relationship was one-sided, and that she had to ward off sexual advances in the past.
In December 2022, eight months after the call, Tracy filed the Title IX report.
The investigation is complete, according to USA Today’s report. A hearing to evaluate the evidence and potentially make a finding of wrongdoing is set for October, during the football team’s by-week.

Iowa averaging 22 ppg through the first 2 games.
Iowa needs to average 25 ppg on the season for that dunce Brian Ferentz to keep his job. And the ppg average can include special teams and defensive td's - which I think was bullshit.
they have Western Michigan, Penn State, Michigan State, Purdue, Wisconsin, and Minnesota next 6 games.
they aren't getting to 25 ppg.

I'll believe Iowa puts up 40+ on someone when I see it.

I think a yellow flag was that once they signed him to keep him away from LSU, LSU's backup plan was Brian Kelly. It's almost as if being an asshole was a prerequisite of that search

they (admin/presidents/boosters at MSU) over-reacted, that's why they gave him that contract.
a) they gave him way too much credit for beating Michigan in '20 and then gave him too much for having that remarkable turnaround season in '21. Michigan was terrible in '20- that win wasn't that big a deal. And then let's face it....KW III is why they were so good in '21. He was that transcendently great- that one guy could lift an entire team from probably 7-8 wins to 11. And btw KWIII got jobbed from going to the Heisman ceremony and being a 1st rd pick. If he was at Bama/UGA/Mich/OSU/TX/OU - he's 100% in NYC at the Heisman ceremony and he's a 1st rd pick. He got screwed. And he's put the NFL on notice cause he was insane as a rookie.
b) they over-reacted and were scared of losing him so they threw a giant bag of money at him without really looking at the situation and going....wait a second...is this guy really that good and worth that much?

Watching Texas at Alabama this morning the thought entered my head that there isn’t a B1G team that could beat either of them.

They overreacted alright but MSU had already gave him more than enough before the LSU rumors - that were prolly BS. W/O looking back I don't remember him being on anyone's short list or that He was the front runner for another pervs position in Baton Rouge. Sure he coached under Saban,Tressel,Smart and in the League but nothing by himself. I could be remembering wrong though but where is this stellar resume'?

Bama is not good. That QB sucks. The OL is BAD. They have JAGs and not dudes at WR. Their secondary busts coverages like it’s their job- Texas had dudes wide open all game and they don’t get pass rush without Will Anderson Jr. Texas should’ve beaten them by more than 10, they dropped a couple TDs early.
We have yet to see Georgia and Michigan play anyone. Still basing them being #1 and #2 the best just based off pre-season and what they bring back, but this thing is wide open.

Sure he coached under Saban,Tressel,Smart and in the League but nothing by himself. I could be remembering wrong though but where is this stellar resume'?
They weren't rumors. He had a hard offer. They didn't get the big money involved until that happened. And as great as MD was, he left the roster devoid of talent. He had zero interest in crootin after the Class of 2016 disaster, and by leaving when he did, and with the pandemic basically killing any chance of MSU putting together a 2021 class, because you had a new coach trying to assemble a class of kids he had never met in person, the thought was the roster would be so barren if you let LSU poach him

Great points ELA thanx,still would have handed out an interim contract in February though.Take time to think it thru. Can you see if Mel went to LSU after Ogeron(sp) was sent packing for similar beghavior,according to one of the LSU fans on this board. Then pulled something like this? SMDH,poor Sparty fans - this to shall pass.Hard to believe one couldn't behave making bank. I hope they take time then cut him loose

Problem was nobody was done with Dantonio. They were done with him surrounding himself with his friends on his staff, on career welfare. Maybe(???????) Brad Salem, but aside from that, the villagers would have rioted with any sort of in house promotion. Hell, they were on their last leg when he promised a staff shakeup the year prior, and literally didn't fire a single assistant. Just gave them all new jobs. I do think Brad Salem did some good things with that 2019 offense. Problem is the coaching had gotten so bad, the lack of development was glaring. It was just well designed plays, ruined by bad blocking, bad throws, or bad routes. The "coaching up" 2/3* stars stopped working when the guys coaching them up were just MDs 60 year old friends who had nobody else willing to hire them.
It was so toxic, that even though a lot of people recognized Salem was doing some good things, despite the results, I don't think anyone would have gone for him either.

As foster parents, this is horrific. And there's no way he just pulled that off the cuff. He had it in his notes, as to when he was going to use it. Thought about it, and still went with it.
We've had multiple foster placements, for various reasons, and adopted our last placement. Her parents wanted her, but they were addicts. He grandmother wanted her, but was already raising her addict daughter's 3 other kids. Her uncle wanted her, but didn't want to have to put his biological kids through having to deal with their addict aunt. And we desperately wanted her, and had to fight a system that gave her addict parents every opportunity to get her back. I can't imagine how she would feel hearing a shitty ESPNU announcer say something like that

That cleared some cobwebs I do remember some push back on the Red Cedar about that.Well then the AD and assitant were complacent,little less watching and more analysing circumstances.But at the end of the day MSU didn't have the right adults making decisions,specially the 95 million. Hopefully things shake out for the better.

yeah I was absolutely shocked when I saw that....not that it's funny....but it was so insane that he actually said that all you could do was laugh and then jaw hit the floor. I still can't believe that dude said that....on a live national tv broadcast of a college football game. In what world did he think that was something to say? Has to have been a former CFB/NFL player with CTE to say something like that. My guess is the guy has already been fired.

It was the PxP guy, not the analyst. Former PR staffer who is now a TV anchor and does some broadcasting as a side gig. He posted an apology. Will be interested to see what comes of this for him.

I'm not sure if this is a Youngstown thing or more specific as a Tressel thing but it definitely held some of Tressel's teams back as well. The obvious difference being that tOSU is just on a higher plane (helmet) to begin with so tOSU held back is still pretty good.

LC was guilty of this as well. I think most of the coaches from the old school were guilty of it.

Surrounding yourself with a family of yes men who will whack a guy for you is peak Youngstown.

If Mel had even one of these guys we wouldn't even be here

Well... how's everyone doing tonight? Anything interesting happen on TV today?
I was at a wedding. Saw lots of old dock mates - 24 total. So that was nice.
Food was just OK. We were hungry.
The Badgers look to suck right now, based on what I've heard and seen. Haven't been able to post until now.
I'm in a shitty mood.
And you?

I'm not much of a "put in the backup QB" guy, but I do believe in sitting a guy for a series or two to let him settle down if necessary.
I was surprised Rhule didn't do that, or something....or anything....to help settle his QB. He wound up making Colorado better than I suspect they really are. I mean, that kid was screwing up basic stuff that had nothing to do with crowd noise or Colorado's defense. You've got to do something there. Yet he didn't.

I was at my annual golf deal w buds, so I didn’t see any CFB. ( we did watch the Lions actually look competent and win a big game).
I have watched a few of the games on Big network football in 60.
Wisconsin looked decent except one big thing: they couldn’t stop a very mobile QB. I wouldn’t give up on them yet- or even close.
-
I'm not sure when I'll watch another Husker game
certainly not watching the first two games that I recorded or on BTN football in 60

Horns did okay on Saturday, Cowboys did okay on Sunday. I can't complain.

I saw some things in that Sunday game Ive never seen before in the pros
amazing game

I haven't seen a game like that at the Meadowlands since the Vikings went there for the NFC Championship Game in January 2001.

Just had some early afternoon exhaustion hit right before 2.5 hours of meetings across 3 hours. Hoping a power nap I grabbed will carry me through

I can't believe the 1998-2000 Vikings never reached a Super Bowl. Pair of crushing Championship Game losses, for opposite reasons

100%.
A young, hungry, chip on his shoulder, focused, prime Randy Moss is the most insane WR that has ever touched an NFL field. No disrespect to Jerry Rice or Calvin Johnson, who would be my #2 and #3 all-time WRs, but Randy Moss was just on another level.

Those two NFC Championship losses were vicious enough to turn a person completely off of pro football. Add in the 2009 Bountygate fiasco in New Orleans and it's a wonder that anyone in this town still follows those assholes.

UM no have to consider everything I'd take either of those two

Was Indiana still running the option? Or was that just an OSU wrinkle?

They threw 37 times, so I'm guessing the latter?
