UCF beating UNC 20-3 at the half…LOL SEC Arkansas loses to Memphis Clemsons season is effectively over after losing to 17.5 point underdog Syracuse. Some good things happening today.

Wow. Aside from Scott how many of the Illinois guys out are “key” players ?

Funny tweet during todays Clemson weather delay due to lightening…. UPDATE: After being locked up with Tom Allen for 30 minutes, the #Clemson defense would rather take their changes against the lightning.

If IU was playing a University of Evansville frat team I’m pretty sure Saban would pick the frat.

7 more torturous hours until kickoff. Lets go !!!

As you stated 4 out of 5 of the ESPN SEC pundits picked Illinois to win BUT…..I predict that when IU beats Illinois all 4 of them will make a u-turn and say Indiana beat a bad/overrated Illinois team.

Just briefly watched ESPN College Game Day and they did a segment called “intriguing undefeated teams”. They listed 10 teams none of which were IU or Illinois….LOL

Can’t wait to see the buzz at the rock, how we compete in the trenches and Mendoza’s performance against quality competition!! Counting down the hours!!! Kind of funny/interesting that this is one of the biggest football games in IU history and we have 2 1/2 pages of pre-game posts vs 5 pages for the IU basketball schedule…

They do play the games when they are told to. I have traveled the three time zones a gazillion times and it does have some impact. Why give a home team an additional advantage? And yes, I understand that in reality the only three things that matter are money, money and money.

It’s bad/challenging enough that the Big Ten “student”-athletes have to travel coast to coast but I wish the BT had the gonads to have a little control over the tv times. MSU is traveling to the west coast and has an 8:00 pm kickoff which is 11:00 pm their time. West coast teams have traveled east and had noon kickoffs which is an equally BS kickoff of 9:00 am their time. Yo. Big Ten. It’s not that hard. When a team from the east travels west the kickoff’s should be between noon and 5:00 (3-8:00 EST). When west coast teams travel east the kickoffs should be between 3:00 and 8:00 (12:00-5:00 PST). It’s not that difficult. Michigan State, as an example, should not be playing this weeks game until 2:00 am EST.

IU - 31 Illinois - 17

When they show replays of a ND offensive play it’s almost funny how much the refs allow the ND blockers to hold/grab jerseys. They have shown plays in which at least three guys were doing it at the same time.

Designated Heisman Trophy winner Arch Manning was 11/25 today in an epic 27-10 battle vs UTEP. Texas was favored by 40.5 points

There are two rules when evaluating SEC teams: 1) There are no bad conference losses. 2) See rule # 1

When I saw the TN kicker on the sideline I turned to my wife and said there was no way he was going to make the winning kick. He looked terrified. That being said, he was really screwed by the illegal motion penalty that added 5 yards and moved the ball from the center of the field.

End of Q1. Illinois 3 Western Michigan - 0 I would normally find that funny but we need to beat a top 10 Illinois next week.

I’ll agree or disagree with you after the Illinois game. At this point I kind of think I know what we have but it’s hard to be sure because of who we have played. Can’t wait for Saturday night !!!

His move up the “food chain” has been pretty amazing. Started at City College of San Francisco and then moved to Diablo Valley Community College and then App State and now leading, and playing in front of 100k+ fans, #15 TN !!!

Have a feeling not many Vol fans are crying over losing Nico to UCLA.

Ha Edited I should have originally said #1 instead of top 5

Anyone else getting the “AI girl” ad when getting in this site? I think I’m in AI love :)

I just checked out the Finebaummeter and saw that….. Unranked Georgia Tech beat Clemson so Georgia Tech will now be ranked. That means it was a good loss for Clemson which makes LSU’s win over Clemson even more impressive which should move LSU up to number 1 in the country.

Wiscy, Northwestern, UCLA and probably PU are putrid (jury is still out on PU).

Hope we are locked in and beat Illinois. Can’t wait for the game (and the news that we cancelled the future ISU game …LoL).

Did you post this before or after the game started ?
