Soccer is gloriously over, and none too soon as it rained all day yesterday and is raining right now. I did venture out to get some donuts - the local bajery sells these little cherry turnover things with nuts that are really good. My main task now is to not eat all the donuts before the kids wake up.
In any event, the Big 2ish are off, leaving the little 12ish to make some statements. Minnesota scored a big win last night over Indiana, leaving both two wins shy of a bowl berth. Really six teams today needs wins in their three games, which makes for some fun college football. Unfortunately, I have a one year old's birthday party to attend sometime this afternoon. Whoopee.
Not sure about cooking. Perfect day for something low and slow, but not the perfect day to go out and buy the something to cook low and slow. We'll see if my motivation improves.

Outstanding Fall weather here

I'll probably keep an eye on those game, but prolly foing to flip back and forth between B1G contests at noon and then Iowa-PSU. Haven't seen Iowa all year.

Friend was in from out of town. He lives a tad more youthfully than I. I joined him, spent too many $$ on beer, feeling the after affects.
Need to go retrieve a car. Might get some BBQ from a super good truck that's rarely open. Pondering the cost. Been a spend-y week.

Nice, Fearless! Sounds like a great day!
It's cold and rainy here in the East. I'll be patching sheetrock, insulating an attic, working in drive-by mode on the computer so we can meet an FDA deadline, all leading up to watching Terps/Illinois at 3:30.

Great news on the domestic front. We waited until the last minute to get Halloween costumes for the girls. So we went to Walmart this morning, where everything was picked over. Instead of my plan to make the girls pick something, my wife wanted to go to the Halloween store. I find the Halloween store right before Halloween to be a low rent neighborhood in hell, and I bitched enough that my wife dropped me off back at the house. Now I'm warm and dry and playing Red Dead Redemption 2. Success!
-
Outdoor Halloween party this evening. Bonfires, hayrides big bbq spread at a farm. Biggest bounce house I've ever seen. Kids will love it. A little hard to keep up on games.
Wlocp should deserve m attention today.
-
At my brother's wedding in Nashville. Will prbabpro see tile about mid 3rd of the noon games. Not even going to bother fighting for control of the TV away from the UW contingent, just to watch MSU get slaughtered.

He says he was hanging with UW fans.

'bout time for Corso to hang it up, IMHO...
-
Mornin' all. Slept until 10:40. I guess I was really tired from all the moving and work and stuff. I haven't done that since I was in my 20's.
Gonna make food. Not sure what yet.
-
Not a good start for Blough...
-
Rocky Lombardi looks like an adventure at quarterback
-
Now I'm warm and dry and playing Red Dead Redemption 2. Success!
RDR2 is the first game I've bought in a longgggg time. Slow pace to the game initially. Pretty, though.

Yeah, and it doesn't mesh well with my life, where i get thirty minutes here and there to play. That's barely enough time for the game to boot up.

I was up before 5
couldn't sleep
I might nap later

If we could get our special teams in order, we'd really be in control right now. Defense playing out of their minds.
-
Wisconsin's defense is bad.
-
Wisconsin's defense is bad.
Missing 4 starters doesn't help.
-
Is that the word "Boosters" on FSU's field @ the 25 yard line???
-
Purdue just not looking good offensively so far. Defensively allowing Lombardi almost anything he wants and he's building confidence.
Boilers need an explosive play on either side of the ball right now.
-
Dodged a huge bullet there.
-
MSU Purdue combined with UW NW feeling exactly like Big Ten football always does. Reserved offenses.
Meanwhile, not at all surprised FSU is playing Clemson tough, however, Clemson QB just threw a perfect fade for TD. Tigers up 7-0.
-
How is holding 6 yards behind the LOS on a reverse still just 1st and 20?
-
Huge. MSU failed to convert on 4th and Purdue succeeded.
IMHO this might have been the turning point of this game.
-
How is holding 6 yards behind the LOS on a reverse still just 1st and 20?
If it's behind the line it's 10 yards from previous spot.
Most holding penalties are like that.
-
Wiscy stones the qb sneak
-
Blough misses a wide open Moore, has to settle for a FG.
-
Now that's a punt
-
These ACC refs are so quick to call any sort’ve hits to the QB against the Defenses but Clemson stout DL is teeing off on Deandre Francois anyway, and starting to take over the game after weathering a strong bit of effort from FSU to start the game. In response FSU D taking cheap shots against Clemson QB. 21-0 Clemson scores again, on drive started by DL interception.
-
The Legend of Rocky begins
-
Purdue defense is a sieve.
-
Fitzgerald doing his 4th down thing again. Didn’t work this time.
-
WTF? I thought by rule a blocked field goal that went past the LOS is a dead ball?
-
Great TD catch by NW in the back of the end zone! Up 21-10 over the Badgers now. And the crowd looks great. I guess it’s helped by the legion of UW fans making the short-ish drive from Madison/Milwaukee. Lots of red in the bleachers.
-
3 and out and the Purdue defense is back on the field.
Can't imagine they're not gassed right now.
-
I've seen this before, MSU dominates three quarters, doesnt get a score that reflects it, loses in the 4th.
I feel like MSU has more wins under Dantonio from Purdue's position here than their own.
-
Damn Badgers are killing me in the elimination pool.

If that was a catch, UW should get its win back against NU from 2015. Regardless, it doesn't matter. This one already feels like it's over. Hard to watch.
-
More crappy weather for a Maryland game, huh?
-
Purdue lucky it's not 30-6 right now. Only thing stopping MSU is MSU.
-
UW just conceded the game, it seems. You have to go for it on 4th in that spot. Just have to.
Taylor.. probably done after two fumbles? Led to 14 points for NU. Not good.
-

Damn officials.
-
Purdue forgets about offense for 3 quarters and then march down the field like nothing.
Let's see if the D remembers how to play too now.
-
Guess not.
-
Another bullet dodged. Yet again, defense didn't make a play but MSU didn't execute.
-
Damn officials.
What does that have to do with Northwestern?
-
Game over in Evanston.
-
What does that have to do with Northwestern?
Nothing. They f'd up the weather call against Maryland.
-
Fumble inside their 10 by Badgers, and ensuing TD by NW - yep, Wisconsin just isn’t very good this year. 31-10 Purple Wildcats.
-

21 points off 3 UW turnovers. Can't win when you do that - especially with a kid starting at QB taking his first snaps of the year. Bad move not getting him PT in earlier games.
-

Right on cue
-
Purdue trying to force it to Moore too much.
-
Lombardi has more zip than I thiugth, just needs to figure out the touch.
-
Nothing. They f'd up the weather call against Maryland.
What's your bet on the penalty discrepancy today between Illinois and UMD?
-
Man brutal drop for Sparty right there
-
Wisconsin still somehow hanging around late
-
This injury thing is becoming downright comical. Did Bachie come back? Now Layne out. Looked bad.
-
Damn Badgers are killing me in the elimination pool.
Hooo! Thanks for reminding me. It had slipped my mind. Just picked PSU. Not feeling good about that. Probably would have picked UW. Wow.
-
Ugh
-
Heck of a job Sparty
-
Huge win for Sparty. That’s one mentally tough team. Well done!
For Purdue, it’s hard to get back up that high a week after the big one.
-

I was wondering...I looked to see who you were picking....
My second choice was Iowa, interestingly ;)

Agree, a spirited 4th Q by the Spartans. Good on them to get back on track after last week, and without their starting QB. I’ll admit I’m not sure the MSU OC is doing himself any long term favors. They seem to win inspire of a handcuffed offense.
-
That comeback Northwestern win is incrementing in significance for Michigan but like all of the Big Ten, it's looking like Michigan doesn't really have any seriously good wins yet. Really hope PSU wins.
-
15 yard penalty before the game kicks off.

I could not disagree more. Michigan’s manhandling Wisconsin, was a high quality win. Their win in Spartan stadium is a high quality win.
They are capapble of playing with ANY team. any team. Looking like they may be paired against Iowa in the CG, which will be tough but a quality win. The only team that can stop them now is them. That defense though...,...
-
BRUTALLY stupid face mask penalty. That run was already gang tackled and then it got that dumb mistake late.

I think Michigan is a seriously good team. Just as I think of Clemson. But even though I don't care about the rankings, per se, I would like to see Michigan rack up a win where they crush a Top 10 or 15 type team ... and not in terms of game time ranking but in terms of objective quality.
I'm not worried about Michigan, to be clear. I just think the resumé is lacking. People talk like it's a great resumé, but it's merely fine/good. Ditto with clemson, but with them the narrative gets it right.

I see where you coming from. I think it is misplaced worry. If they win, they are in. Period. Then you will see them play a top 5 team.
I actually would look forward to it because it because I think they would do well.
-
"I think batted balls (by the DL) should be outlawed in college football."
What kind of stupid hot take is that?
-
I would add, if ( and it is an if) your only loss was to ND, at night on the road, and you beat Wisconsin, MSU, PSU, OSU and let’s say Iowa, your resume would be as good or better than anyone in the playoff.
-

I agree. OSU is guaranteed to be the type of quality opponent. And the winner of Iowa (obvs hypothetical) or PSU would be too.
But so far Michigan is merely good because it's good. It hasn't claimed any awesome scalps.
-
Ferentz!
-
Iowa balls out
-
DT from Iowa with a heck of an over the shoulder catch for a TD.
-
The perfect Iowa touchdown
-
2 safties. wow
-
OMG, Stanley. It was on a tee for him...
-
Someone should really edit together a clip after every PSU game of all the ordinary minutes in which James Franklin looks totally confused.
It'd be a solid weekly feature.
-
I don't know what game this idiot in the studio is watching, but Watson didn't "launch".
-
UW is really starting to look like a 7-5 team this season. Very disappointing, even though I felt they were ranked too high to start the season. I figured a top 10-15 team - not unranked though. The defense actually looked decent today. Just tough to overcome all those turnovers in bad spots, and not enough offense to help them out. Jonathan Taylor is back in earth now too. Didn't see much of him today with the fumbles.
-
Are there people who still think James Franklin is a good coach?

In mixed company before a wedding and we all agree
-
Hahahaha ... James Franklin just iced his own kicker ... he made the first ... fortunate to have made the redo, too
-
There's being aggressive and being stupid. That 4th down stupidity gave PSU 3.
-
UF an extra point away from going up UGA. Great 37 yard TD pass from Franks. XP good. 14-13
-
We might, maybe, perhaps be in for a hellacious football game.

Whew, helluva goalline stand by the Gators.......will only become legendary if UF wins, though.
7 plays from the one yard line, no TD.
-
I’ll say it again. I love these Dr. Pepper commercials.
-
Oh baby. Iowa with the pick 6 is right back in it.
-
Wow
-
I hope this doesn't sound homerish, but I think Florida is the better team. BUT...no where near good enough to win with a -3 turnover discrepancy.
Meh.
-
UConn dropped one to UMass, as they dusted off that old forgotten rivalry.
-
Oh, Iowa.
-
Oh, Iowa.
Welcome to my life
-
Iowa QB had to call the timeout there instead of rushing the snap
-

Yep. The string of obsenities at our game watch was unprecedented.

I’m a West Virginia fan. It’s like being an Iowa fan with mountains.

You win at message boarding this week.

Griese and McShay are ignoring/not noticing a small wiggle upon contact with the ground.

Man, I thought he caught that.
-

Ha ha, we're discussing the last time Iowa got the TD in this situation, and we came up with 2005 Cap One bowl.
-
I don’t think there was enough to overturn that.
-
Griese and McShay are ignoring/not noticing a small wiggle upon contact with the ground.

FYIW, we all thought it was incomplete.

So, GoIowaAwesome ran an article this week that the last time Iowa won a game with national aspirations on the line was 1985. The trend continues.
-
TCU lost to Kansas? Oy vey.

How is that defined? Could one argue that each of the 12 regular season wins in 2015 overturn that idea?

You're not wrong. I think Iowa vs UW 2015 qualifies, but going off memory, it might have been too early in the year to realize the implications (sunny rederence). The point of the article was, when it's on the line and the team knows it going I to the game, Iowa almost always wets the bed.
-
Every game has national implications until you've dropped a game or two.
-
Nice of the backups to allow 21 points and a ton of yards to finish the game for Maryland.
Next year looks rough.

I can’t help but think Stanley’ thumb injury made a big difference. But yes, they still have to feel they let one get away from that one play.
I still feel they are one of the best teams in the big, and I always enjoy watching them for some reason.

Just saw a kid that looked like he was about 12 on the sideline for Syracuse with headphones on. I’m not exaggerating for effect. This was a kid. Cracked me up.

Thinking about it a bit more, I think 2009 Iowa vs MSU is the last one. That one definitely qualifies. But I've been alternating double IPA's w/ Coors Light all day, so take it FWIW. Bottom line, Iowa had a chance to take the next step, and failed.....again.

How crazy is it that going into today the West had ZERO CLARITY with NU, Iowa, UW, and Purdue tied atop and Northwestern, of all teams, leaves the cloud in pole position.

The B10CG in 2015 would certainly count. All the B10 marbles, certainly, and at least some national marbles.

Hmm. Ok St on a 4th and inches lines up for a punt and then has about 6 guys move as they shift for a fake, including guys on the interior line tightening their gaps. Texas comes across and the refs call offsides. Herman is running hot.
And as I’m typing Ok St scores a few plays later to make it 31-14. Big botched call.

Yeah, that was weird. It was briefly mentioned though that because that guy wasn't actually in a 3-point staff he wasn't yet locked-in. I don't know the nuances on that well enough, so I was hoping a rules expert was going to get some voice time. It seemed like it could be a distinction that mattered (making it as if OkSU actually hadn't picked a formation yet and was therefore free to move in any way, which Herman may have ignored/not noticed).
I'm not saying I agreed. Just that it seemed to have the makings of a loophole type situation. Something you shouldn't be able to get away with, but if no one is in a 3-point stance maybe you can.
-
Love the oSu unis
-
Can't believe Ore St won that game at one point in the 2nd Qtr it 31-3,Colorado
-
So, if I have this right, NW could lose to Iowa and ND and beat Minn and Ill and win the West, right?
They would be 7-5 with a loss to Akron in that mix.
Meanwhile the ACC has one ranked team, and the Coastal could be won by a 3 loss team, or more.
-
This injury thing is becoming downright comical. Did Bachie come back? Now Layne out. Looked bad.
It seems the last two seasons Sparty leads the Nation in injuries.Are they piping in Flint River water up there?

Why do folks tie the knot during football season? Is it cheaper?
I get that most people don't give a crap about football, at least not to the extent that they feel like they have to watch every play of every game.
But I am certain that the vast majority of those people are going to have a friend or relative that is going to be pretty ticked off about it.
Luckily most people I know are either already married or obviously never will be.

I felt pretty bad for the Hawks after that botched pass play (interception) at the end. It was an error due to too much thinking, it seems. I guess that's the best kind of error, if you have to have an error.
I still think Iowa is right there with anybody else in the B1G...

I would think that even if you are in a two point stance if you are lined up on the LOS you are locked in at that point. I mean, we’ve all seen tackles in two point stances called for false starts. OSU had guys in interior line positions all of a sudden shifting. Not to mention the guys punt protectors running toward the LOS. The refs just really screwed that up. Herman had a right to be pissed.
That was a significant play in that game too. Ok St should have been called for a penalty which almost ensures they punt at that point. Couple plays later they scored.
-
I think you are *probably* right, but one more clarifying question: At which point is a lineman set? Is there a way to prolong that period from the huddle and never actually set but do it in a nuanced way to trick the defense into thinking you have(?).
If so, then that either deserves a rule change or the refs need to call it for "Intent to deceive." If not, then you must be correct.

on the road in that stadium with the student section that close
you're foolish to try audibles and any thing that requires communication
gotta dumb it down, run the play that was called or call a TO

Florida had a TE move on a play and the UGA defenders pointed to him, and then a flag came out. The ball was not snapped.
I thought he could move, no one else moved, and then reset.
Refs do mess up. The PI call against Mizzou didn't look like defensive PI to me, maybe offensive.

I saw the thread in ice hockey and was musing about some UGA "analyst" worrying about weather in Lexington Saturday. It apparently will be around 47°F and cloudy. He saw that as a factor for the Dawgs.
It is 73°F here today and sunny, beautiful day. The leaves are just starting to think about changing color.

Yes, we are aware that the south is warmer than the north.

Probably why so many bowls are played down here....wait, I meant "unfair postseason home games"....

Yeah, that was weird. It was briefly mentioned though that because that guy wasn't actually in a 3-point staff he wasn't yet locked-in. I don't know the nuances on that well enough, so I was hoping a rules expert was going to get some voice time. It seemed like it could be a distinction that mattered (making it as if OkSU actually hadn't picked a formation yet and was therefore free to move in any way, which Herman may have ignored/not noticed).
I'm not saying I agreed. Just that it seemed to have the makings of a loophole type situation. Something you shouldn't be able to get away with, but if no one is in a 3-point stance maybe you can.
Neither the lateral shifts at the line, nor the two men in motion moving toward the line, were a problem if the ball is not snapped. However neither of those motions can legally draw the defense offsides per the rules. Only way defense could be offsides in that situation, is if the ball snaps. But if the ball snaps, then you have 4 offensive players in motion, when the ball is snapped, which is an illegal procedure. Really weird play, they were clearly trying to make it as tricky and confusing for the refs as possible, and it worked. Texas got an offsides penalty that never should have been called. Major bummer for me, obviously.

Correct, exhibition games as a reward for a season completed, not games from which conclusions should be drawn.

I feel the same way about boating season.

RDR2 is the first game I've bought in a longgggg time. Slow pace to the game initially. Pretty, though.
I finally got some time and played through the first chapter. I thought it was thoroughly impressive - I heard it was slow, and ti was, but not at all boring and really more thoughtful. Not something I'd say about many video games.

unless you win and you want to talk about the best conference in the land... then conclusions are drawn for TV ratings.

winning and holding scoreboard over the fan base is plenty for me

Yeah, I just got to the part where the game opens up and you can free-roam now. I already have a big bounty on my head and lost at poker, lol.

Not sure I'd get too excited about UBA playing Bama.

If they pulled off the upset, Bama might terminate their program again.

More cost effective that way

That is why divorce is so expensive...
...because it's worth it.

Well didn't you have a hunting sign therefore a firearm,ya know before you offed her
-
I was a heckuva hunter before and whilst I was married
but, she drove me to drinking and I had to give up the hunting

He likes to hunt wild boar with his bare hands.

I got a turkey last October, scared the crap out of the shoppers in Kroger.

well, the hogs here in Iowa are kinda wild
I have roasted a few whole swine for past birthday parties, usually with multiple kegs of macroswill to wash them down

Fearless is also quite the cougar hunter.
-
true enough
I've bagged my share

Spoken like a true chivalrous,well versed,righteous Rogue or is that Hunter?
-
I doubt I'm young enough to qualify those ladies as cougars, but I certainly don't know who they have been preying on.
-
bare handed I assume?
No, Number 6 shot. Both barrels. Killed that sucker dead I did, and several of his friends. They don't let me shop there any more though. I didn't think 7 1/2 was enough of a load.
-
Well they prolly don't have Kroger in the ATL,so load up the blunderbuss at a Publix/PigglyWiggly or whatever they have down there.Seems the Butterballs are more elusive than the Honeysuckle's,the Purdue's somewhere in between
-
most folks around here use #6 for pheasants, but I always preferred #4. Gave me better range.
I suppose #4 would work for Turkeys, but I'd probably go with 2s
used to load my own 8s for trap shoots
-
Used to hunt Ruffed Grouse in the SE part of the state in the hills/valleys usually filled with Pines/conifers.They were very hard to hit,flew erratic like bats but fast like falcons.We could never figure out how they didn't run into trees
-
Don't hunt pheasant much, or ducks or turkey at all.
#8 for dove though, that'll do. Something really pleasurable about blowing the bird of peace right out of the sky, and then grilling it up wrapped in bacon and a jalapeno.
-
I haven't gone hunting in quite a few years,don't know if i have the heart for it.But i can still get back into the deep recesses/ravines and enjoy nature in it's pure form and enjoy a good work out.Toss back some cold Yuenglings and reminisce when I get back to the truck

This is what I do when I go deer hunting with my friends. After my first couple years of actually hunting deer, I realized I just don't like shooting Bambi. So now I just go out and stomp around on the ranch with friends for a couple days. I drink beer while they clean deer, works fine for me.

Ha! Great stuff NrN, thanks for sharing.
And it's clear that the author GETS chili. You should heed his words:
"I gather that real chili doesn't have beans in it, and I think I know why: a bean takes up the space they would rather have occupied by tiny flakes of an assortment of lethal peppers. "

For pheasant, I was #6 all the way. My dad would start with #6 and go to #4 later in the year when the birds got wise. In SW Iowa, we were lucky enough to get into some quail from time to time. That's an #8 shot if you wanted anything left of it.

Said he was a great author,I never sampled a bowl of his red.He wrote for years with Field & Stream & Outdoor Life.Many of his books can be had on Amazon.He could resurrect images of Hunting Camp's & Fishing Lodges,the stories,companions,dogs.Just a phenomenal writer IMO,poignant,insightful,humorous & sentimental.Great stuff to read on a cold nite by the fire.And sip the good stuff

My oldest brother was a recruiter for the USAF stationed at Wright-Patt in Dayton.Back in the day all the young kids he recruited in the southern part of the state - well their families all had farms and there was never a shortage of hunting Pheasant/Quail.Two very bad winters in the late '70's really put the keebosh on that.At least in the Northern half of the state I'm afraid most of the Pheasants are/were pen raised.I haven't raised the barrel on a Quail or Pheasant in over 20 years.Rabbits,Grouse and Whitetail were plentiful however.The whitetail have almost become a plague - big ones too
-
yup, too many whitetail here in Iowa as well
corn-fed whitetail taste very good
not much better than venison loin chops on the grill - rare
-

There are quite a few Krogers down here. We usually shop at one. Publix is more common though.
I used to dove hunt in NC back in the Day. We'd use mostly 8, sometimes 7.5, but 8 was plenty. Them birds can turn on a dime.
They are the best eating bird I've ever had, I will say that. Not much to'em but tasty.
-
We had many many deer living in the woods behind out house in Cincy (a green belt thing). They were "pretty" but the wreaked havoc on most of the stuff I planted. My yard morphed into being whatever deer won't eat. They killed a lot of trees with their antlers. I had some nice maples and the bark protection came loose and they were toast, made me mad.
One big buck wondered to about 10 feet from me in the back yard. He never saw me.I would not have wanted to tangle with him though I did have a shovel in my hands, saw him coming and just went still. I guess I didn't smell bad enough, or was downwind.
He was in really good condition, I don't understand how they survive those winters.
-
I've got a nice, not large, 10 pointer hanging on the wall in my basement
Hunting deer in Iowa is with shotgun slugs. Makes it much more sporting. Range is 100 yards or less.
I did some bow hunting back in the day, but range was probably 25-30 yards for me. Might as well put a knife in my teeth and leap on them if I can get that close.

Deer hunting with rifles is a bit dangerous. Those rounds obviously carry lethal force for quite a distance.

Same-same in Ohio though some guys use their muzzle loaders during gun season for a long shot - confident they won't miss.But where we use to hunt because of thick wood lots and brush ya may get a 40 yd shot
-
yup, different season for muzzleloaders and shotguns to separate the crazies
-
I have never fire a muzzler, I've seen them fired at exhibitions.
I've read that British troops in the Napoleonic Wars could fire 4 rounds per minute, but the less well trained French conscripts could manage only 3, at best. Range was about 60 yards. The Brits would march to within 60 yards and start volley fire with devastating effect. Few opponents could withstand that.
The French would often move in a solid block so if you killed the front rank they would appear not to have changed, and poorly trained troops would nearly always break. The British (and many Prussian troops) would stand in line and return fire. The tactics of that era are fascinating to me, including the "make square" that they could manage in short order.
-
While they may have been able to load 4 in a minute i highly doubt the same rifle could be loaded & fired 4 X in a minute.Because of hot debris from the packing and the hot barrel would eventually cause ignition with incoming powder for new load
-
the tactics seemed ridiculous, but there must have been some level of success
I've hunted small game with a muzzleloader. Rabbits, squirrels, birds. Not deer
Flintlock takes some getting used to with the delay
-
Flintlock - screw that I head out to the archery range before I go that route
-
Feel like this needs to he locked at this point to avoid confusion. Move it to the general OT thread
