Got to push for the Spartans over Michigan...it could happen.

May try to catch UW/ND later, but I really need to get some stuff done today.

As usual, watching the Beavs and hoping that they can finally get their $**t together.

Michigan looks horrible. Having your punter run a draw play on his own 13 doesn't help. MSU completely dominating on defense, UM cannot run and refuses to throw.

Duke giving VT a game, kind of shocking.

Eric Decker making my recent scouting report on him look savvy. Too many penalties in the Minn/Wisc game. Too much Bob Griese too.
It's not whether you win or lose, it's how good you look playing the game

I could not believe that play call. I think that's about the stupidest thing I've seen a team do all season. Unfortunately (depending on your perspective) the Spartans couldn't get more than 3 out of that gift wrapped opportunity.

And it's a better game.

Badgers ought to take a ranking into OSU next week if they win this one.

Forcier misses a wide open reciever in the endzone with under 30 seconds left in the game.

Cox misses 2 easy wide open throws early on in the game (1 would of been about an 85 yard TD).

Notre Dame wins in OT! Clausen is a legit Heisman candidate. Over 400 yards passing and clutch under pressure. Now I am watching IU vs. Ohio St.

Jimmy Clausen should be in the top 3 for heisman consideration right now. And if he has a big game against SC, he should be the front runner. He played a helluva game with turf toe.

Too bad Cox is so inconsistent. :(

AJ Green is a beast, though.

LSU hangs on to a top 4 ranking for another week.

That was a great run by Scott at the end.

Horrible celebration calls by by the officials.......
