this is nuts...Hooker has been on fire.looks like Jim Brown's bastard son
Breakfast of championsBaiting a trap for Fearless?
Bud heavy. Yuck. You really are with FF.When in Rome, do as the Romans do. When in Lincoln, drink Bud Fat.
Baby back and brisket- smoked them yesterday eve, wrapped in foil and towel amd held in yeti until a few minutes ago where they're on the grill at 200* to get them back to serving temperature... it was close as it was so it won't be long...What time is dinner?
Cowboy beans set, tater salad and jalapeño corn bread inbound...
Kickoff at 330... same spread as the bama game... I dropped a half gallon of jack daniels old #7 during the bama game (well, between kickoff and midnight)... I have a fifth today in its stead... I rarely drink but when I do? Clear a path...
Last time I rushed the ribs and brisket. The taste was there but a little too much tug on the ribs. The bones are jumping out of these... I haven't sliced the brisket yet, but man it looks and smells superb. It's just a flat brisket not a packer... I was SO tempted to take a slice off it last night.
Nw 7 Osu 0 mid 2nd Q is oddest ticker sight in some time.Freakin' wind isn't helping the passing game but they should be able to run on them some.Time to wake up maybe reading their own press clippings
Wildcats. Hmm.Day needs to quit trying to score in one play. This wind long passes very difficult so run and throw short.
Halftime in Madison.Benching Mertz would be a net positive for UW.
Be interesting to see if Mertz comes out and plays.
UW gets the ball to start H2.
Benching Mertz would be a net positive for UW.??
Passing is close to impossible in Madison today. Jeez.Worse in Evanston.
Worse in Evanston.It's about the same. Not raining in Evanston. That should help.
??Mertz is 4/14 in this game lol. Wisconsin has been playing better, but it’s not like they’ve been better because of Mertz. He still stinks.
I take it you've not followed the Badgers lately.
Mertz is 4/14 in this game lol. Wisconsin has been playing better, but it’s not like they’ve been better because of Mertz. He still stinks.Disagree. Too many drops today, and that was a TD catch. Foot was down.
Disagree. Too many drops today, and that was a TD catch. Foot was down.Tua Jr ain’t my boy, and I think it’s fair to say he’s having a bad game but he is a better QB than Mertz. I’ve seen a ton of sucky QB play over the past decade as a Michigan fan. I know a crappy QB when I see one. Mertz is one of them. Mertz blows.
Your boy for Maryland has been no better, if not worse.

I know a crappy QB when I see one. Mertz is one of them. Mertz blows.We're gonna have to agree to disagree. Mertz has shown a ton of improvement. Today is not a good day for any QB in Madison. The weather sucks.
We're gonna have to agree to disagree. Mertz has shown a ton of improvement. Today is not a good day for any QB in Madison. The weather sucks.5 for 18 isn't good in any weather, sorry.
There are more OSU fans in the NW stands than NW fans. Lol.New to NW games?
Well that clinches a win for the Buckeyes but they aren't going to get any "style points" for this.That’s my thoughts as well. If you’re gonna play like ass, best to play like ass vs the worst team in the conference.
My "glass half full" view is that if you are going to have a terrible game you could hardly do better than to have it against this year's Mildcats.
5 for 18 isn't good in any weather, sorry.in his defense, the weather is awful.
5 for 18 isn't good in any weather, sorry.Too many drops - I've counted 6 today. Rain, wind, cold, fog.. You've never seen that.
in his defense, the weather is awful.Past two seasons, I agree 100%. This year is different.
BUT regardless of this game, Mertz has proven over the last 3 seasons that he kinda sucks.
It's about the same. Not raining in Evanston. That should help.Your TV has bad reception
Well that clinches a win for the Buckeyes but they aren't going to get any "style points" for this.OSU couldn't throw and Fitzgerald sold out to stop the run - credit.Then the rain came down in buckets,not a great day for an offense either way,Stoud actually had a nice run
My "glass half full" view is that if you are going to have a terrible game you could hardly do better than to have it against this year's Mildcats.
Ray Guy smiling at that.That was the best punt I’ve ever seen in a huge game
I think that certainly seals that a 1 loss OSU ain't in the CFPThat was already true to a degree If they lose one of the next 2 but beat Michigan and win the CCG- they will be in. But other than that they were never getting in without beating UM and winning the conference.
Checking in from Southern California. Was out at the bars later than I meant to be last night (11PM) buying shots of Jameson with a Humboldt County hippie chick (it’s California) but woke up just fine. Plan today is to head up the road to my brother’s to watch Tennessee-Georgia. Him and his wife will probably invite me to stay for a few more hours to catch at least the first half of FSU-Miami and Clemson-Notre Dame. For lunch I’m bringing along the Trader Joe’s pizzas they’ve come to like since trying gluten free (it’s California). Before heading up I need to clean up my place, load/run the dishwasher, and sort out the aluminum cans from my trash for leaving with the homeless neighbors on my block to refund (it’s California). After a week of dropping temperatures and rain, the weather is sunny enough to tan again (it’s California).Strong trip
Anyway, enough of California. On Monday I returned from my East Coast trip, stopping through Indianapolis, Richmond VA, and Auburn/Montgomery AL and thought I’d share a few autumnal scenes we don’t quite experience in the Southwest.

Wisconsin got what I can only call wins roughage. Will take. Bowl is a near lock, which did not look like the case a few weeks ago.It's 3 weeks and 3 trophies on the line.
bye. Crushing the field. Wow. maybe 8 lengths. fun raceThat was impressive.
Have to wonder how the Illini nearly went undefeated. They look like they have the flu.They had a chance to almost clinch today and look to be blowing it.
Mel Tucker should get Coach of the Week if there’s such a thing.Nah, he should be allowed to play in the West for a week. It's agoddamned joke
It’s going to be interesting in the future when CBS has the big 10.That slappie whored himself out over a decade ago
Gary Danielson saying that after today even if Georgia loses the SEC championship game they’re in the playoff automatically.
Sorry, ribbit. Enjoy Orlando.
So what if for example Michigan, Clemson, and TCU got undefeated and win their conference, and Alabama beat Georgia in the conference championship game?
Pks to determine the championship. OAM, you gotta love that!I have no idea what this means.
Someone tried to tell me Northwestern was worse than IU a couple weeks ago….Well, if we are judging just based on games against NW from the last 2 weeks, then I guess Iowa is better than OSU. Not only that, I guess Iowa's offense is better than OSU's offense.
do all former Michigan players in media have to suck? Jake Butt is brutal to listen to…had to put this game on mute.Not watching that game but Jake does a nice job on the BTN wrap up and commentary.

What's Schiano doing? Don't have BTNWhat’s he doing? Just being his usual dirty piece of shit self. he’s a meat head guido shitbag. can’t stand the fkn guy. He’s the definition of jersey trash. I seriously hate that Rutgers is in the B1G. Delaney deserves an ass whooping for that one. Penn State, Nebraska, and Maryland I get, all great adds. But Rutgers? JFC.
DJ Turner continues to get merc’d on deep balls. Feel like him and Gemon Green just are not good enough at CB. Need to see more of Will Johnson.He is one of those guys who feels like he's been there for 8 years. Except he's been bad for all of them. I didn't love Johnson's high school tape, in terms of being a 5*, but he HAS.to be better than Turner.
Not watching that game but Jake does a nice job on the BTN wrap up and commentary.I don't think he's bad, the problem is there is no learning ground. There is no ESPN+ for P5 programs. It's baptism by fire. It sucks that he's doing a game everyone can see, but he seems like a guy that just needs reps, and where is he going to get them?

I didn't love Johnson's high school tape, in terms of being a 5*, but he HAS.to be better than Turner.I wouldn’t say DJ is bad. He just isn’t good. He does most things well…but he gets toasted on deep balls. Like wayyyyy too much and wayyyy too often.
ND rolling Clemson 21-0Playoff committee looking stupid right now lol.
Rutgers giving the game awayNah. They have negative rushing yards. They were lucky to even be ahead. Flukey punt block return for td and Michigan’s Mr Automatic kicker shanking two FG’s = them being up by 3.
ND 28-0Anyone who watched Clemson at all this year knew they were a fraud.
Donovan Edwards is the best player on the Michigan offense. That TD catch was an insane catch for a RB to make. He’s a future 1st round nfl draft pick.Donovan Edwards might be the best non QB Big Ten player since Ted Ginn
They need to feature him a lot more often. He’s very Marshall Faulk like. I know that sounds crazy and insane to say, but I think it’s true. His route running and ball skills for a RB are insane. Insane.
CFB is the bomb.Truer words were never spoken.
Imagine being in the West. That is the dream lifeNah. SW Florida is way better.
Everyone here at this bar in Lincoln went nuts when LSU converted the 2 point play.Problem was - evidently - it shouldn't have got there.A good friend watched the whole game and isn't one to pick on the refs said some of the calls were like the SEC was trying to get the Tide the "V".Checked some message boards and many posters were basically saying the same thing
CFB is the bomb.I'm not sure what other sport really has this kind of drama for an entire day of the week.
don’t look now, but with Corum going over 100+ and 2 TD’s and the Heisman leader Hooker having a stinker and the #2 guy Stroud also having a stinker- Corum could legit sneak his way into the Heisman race.There likely won't be 30-50mph consistent winds with rain going sideways in 3 weeks.I take it you didn't watch the contest in Evanston.CJ is shooting for 3 things - November 26,December 3,the CFPs.Anything else is window dressing,and I'm betting Corum won't be going nuclear if the the skunk bears get behind early in C-Bus.I don't think CJ will be having a stinker then
If Corum has another 100+ yard game with a score or two vs Nebraska and Illinois and then just goes nuclear vs OSU- he’ll have a real shot at it.
