Please, please let Ball State beat Puredoo on a last minute punter to long snapper touchdown pass.

I don't care about Purdue anymore. I want them to suck even worse than last year. I remember a Purdue fan last year thinking the bucket game was a winnable game for them. The beat down was glorious. It's even better that Cig is the quarterback guru. No more cradle of quarterbacks for them. We stole their lunch money and ate their lunch.

The tear down won't be complete until they close the program and turn that "stadium" into a full-time monster truck venue or maybe a nuclear waste dump.

Reminds me of those late night WAC games that were ALWAYS 52-48. Ty Detmer would throw for 456yds and 5TD's and lose to Wyoming somehow. Those were the days.

That seems a little optimistic for Michigan and Illinois.

And a whole lotta faith in Billy Napier at UF. Cause Billy Napier sucks eggs.

Michigan has some offense to figure, but man they really seemed to turn it around after halftime against us. That defense was stupid good to finish out the year. That's something to build on and something that should be at an elite level this season.

Needs to be renamed the Loaded Chicken podcast.

Shouldn’t divert from a clear winning brand.

That would be hilarious to explain the name lol.

We finally get a year with no OSU or Michigan and now PSU decides to have its best team in awhile.

NCAA announced the penalties handed down in Michigan football's sign stealing case.  Harbaugh a 10-year show-cause penalty.  Full details below.    Pete Thamel indicates the total fines will likely exceed $20 million.

Whoa - in the grand scheme of things (this ain't a violent crime, y'all) that is a pretty harsh penalty.

The postseason $$ is a killer esp. with revenue sharing now. I'm curious how their accountants will fudge the football budget so half their staff and expenses become part of another sport or a general fund. The 3rd game Moore misses next year is vs. Western Michigan.

[Home Jersey 16,789]

Wow, that sounds excessive. NCAA is in a death spiral. Seems like one more straw that will eventually break the camel's back for the B10 and SEC in terms of accepting the NCAA's authority.

[Hovadipo 62,032]

25% reduction of officials stands out to me. That is a significant number.

F*ck Michigan. They have many built in advantages and still had to cheat.
