OTHER GAMES

[Chop]

I like having these lightning rod coaches in the game that draw much media attention and controversy. (And the extreme ire of opponents.).

Guys like:

Kiffin
Leach
Bielema
Spurrier
Mangino
Etc.

I’d adds a sort of WWE element to it.

On the handoff to Williams — the pull by Williams from Brooks — does someone know the rule? Not only was Brooks’ forward progress stopped, but he was going backward. Play was dead.

I really think that the refs are advised to bias their calls for OU because the conference wants a representative in the CFP.

I’ve seen so many plays blown down as soon as the RB is being driven backwards while hopping on one leg. The refs let this one continue to benefit blow u.

Comment of the day from VSIN regarding ILL-PSU...

"Illini have more than 300 yards of rushing and TEN points...Big 10 football in a nutshell."

OT

U of I vs PSU

 

[KBBAKER]

Bijan is a better player than Williams.

Keep telling yourself that when Williams collects the hardware in December. I hate OU, but they have a certain mojo that UT has not experienced in 15+ years. UT is dead nationally. Simply an after thought. I hope Sark can right the ship during the remaining schedule.

Williams collects the hardware in December.

Ain’t going to happen. He would only have a shot — just a shot — with a great game against OSU in Bedlam.

 

[Pomspoms]

Williams is not going to collect hardware in November playing a half a season. He hasn't earned it. And Texas is not dead nationally, just playin possum.

The heisman has constantly gone to whoever is hyped the most or on a team that gets media bias. That doesn’t mean that winning player is the best in college football.

 

[Chop]

Bijan and Michigan State’s RB both deserve consideration. I’d say the Ole Miss QB is the front runner.

 

[Chinstrap]

Trying to pick the best college football player is just plain dumb. Giving credibility to the propaganda and corrupt process by a Downtown Athletic club in New York City is even dumber. Vince Young, Colt McCoy and Peyton Manning (among many others) proved that.

 

[stanhin]

Purdue just hit Wisc QB for sack fumble and 275 pound defender ran the recovery 56 yards for a TD

 

[Chinstrap]

More cheat city in the KS game. Every call goes…well, you know.

One of the best things about getting out of Bowlsby’s league is leaving the terrible officiating. Maybe not so good for OU. The non-calls may not be gifted as much.

 

[MeatHeadHorn]

This Penn State Illinois game… unreal lack of offensive ability. But defense to die for.

 

[stanhin]

Purdue QB tries to throw to a receiver in the middle of four defenders with predictable results: interception run back to Purdue one yard line

 

[mb227]

This Penn State Illinois game… unreal lack of offensive ability. But defense to die for.

And the Illini finally scalp Pedophile State University.

It’s a corrupt league, and the corruption may not be entirely dictated by the league office.

This was not my take but just imagine if on the 4th down play when Kennedy Brooks’ forward progress is stopped — and he’s been pushed backwards, instead of Williams taking the ball from him, Kansas pulls the ball out and runs it in for a touchdown. What are the chances that play standing? Let me answer that question:

And the Illini finally scalp Pedophile State University.

My Iowa alum cousins were ecstatic 2 weeks ago when the Hawks beat PSU. Subsequent events tend to indicate that this might not have been quite the stellar achievement they thought it was.

In any case, I will heartily applaud an Illini win over PSU.

CHIEF ILLNIWEK LIVES

Bielema’s showing a lot of character

Now that's not a sentiment I've seen expressed before...

 

[Chop]

Now that's not a sentiment I've seen expressed before...

Well, I didn’t elaborate as to what sort of character he was showing…

Why is that guy so despised around here anyway…?

I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen that happen before. Yeah, had been stopped once and being pushed back into the ground. Pretty sure I’ve seen fumbles overturned because of forward progress being stopped, but he can essentially fumble it forward behind the line. KU could even expose that secondary. They were going to score based on the last drive.

 

[MeatHeadHorn]

If you want to see a fundamentally sound, tough, over achieving team with leadership, watch Pitt.

 

[dukesteer]

Did you see the extraordinarily ridiculous call in the ISU OSU game? OMG. Unsportsmanlike on a 46 yard TD that brought it back. One of the worst calls I have ever seen. Absolute joke.

 

[erbutch]

Williams breaks another 4th down to the house.

Man would I love to see Texas punch this guy in the face, but it may never happen. He’s a cocky A-hole. Typical Gooner.

Duke,You may not like him but he is good. Why cant we get a QB coach like OU? Much as I hate OU,they will continue to own us with the talent they have and the atttitude the players have. They just want it more than our players.

Definitely a powerful runner. Not sure about the pass. Make him throw to beat you and we will see. He tends to just throw it up quite a bit.

The refs actually gifted OSU the game against us in 2025. The WORST. officiated game in my lifetime.

 

[nashhorn]

I’m now of the opinion the B12 is NoT very good this year. If OU succeeds in getting into the CFP I predict a blow out of OU.

 

[dukesteer]

Well, ISU pulled it out…so there is a glimmer — again, a glimmer — for us.

They just screwed Okie State in the final minute. Guy got the first down by at least the length of the ball, but they spotted it a good foot or two short and then upheld it on review.

I need to see anything resembling the fight those two teams just put up from our guys before I start thinking about glimmers of hope of any kind.
