One team played against a school that half the world has never heard of and one played against a powerhouse full of 5 star talent.  You'd kind of expect that, right?

Fresno St. Won 10 games last year and has a great offensive coach.  You can't say our offense look anywhere near as good as PU

You're right, I never did!  I said it's easier to look good against Fresca Pop than against Ohio State.  You can't see the difference?

Do you think we would have put up 35 against Fresno St.

I don't know who we are yet, we've only played Ohio State so far.  Fresno is a vastly different opponent.  Wouldn't you agree?

Fresca. Not Fresno, Fresca.

Ok, what percentage of this is Rutgers being pretty good verses Northwestern being just terrible?

Northwestern is bad... Rutgers is better than Indiana. But Northwestern is probably worse than Indiana.

No, what I saw yesterday they won't score 35 against ISU

Northwestern will beat Howard and MAYBE UTEP next week, and that will be it. They are horrible.

I know this much.  Schiano is a good coach.

Look at it this way.  IU was a 31 point underdog and lost by 20.  Purdoo was a 4 point favorite and lost by 4.  

Does that clarify for you which was a worse loss?

Jeez it's like I'm talking to a purdumpster fan.  

It's OK to be down on IU football, we all are.  But to not see this point is just ridiculous.

Brian Kelly: "I loved my time at Notre Dame. I have nothing but great memories there," Kelly said. "But the whole landscape there is different than it is here. It just is. There are priorities at Notre Dame. The architectural building needed to get built first. They ain't building the architectural building here first. We're building the athletic training facility first, [and] we're in the midst of a $22 million addition to our athletic training facility.”

Shorter version: “To win a Natty I needed a school that doesn’t give 2 $hits about academics.”

From 2016, but surely things haven’t changed much. The first paragraph is all you need to read.

Just now seeing this somehow. What on earth is going on in East Lansing?

 

*for clarity, because I had to go to the replies to confirm; MSU did in fact let Brown back into the game.
