Yankees win on a terrible throw by Izturis. Really should have just taken the easy out at 1st there.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Oct 17, 2009 -> 11:46 PM) A-Rod with a chance to win it in the 12th after tying it in the 11th. Doesn't get it done and then Cano starts off the top of the 13th with an error.

A-Rod with a chance to win it in the 12th after tying it in the 11th.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Oct 17, 2009 -> 11:18 PM) Long ass game for being just 3-3 in the 11th,was there a rain delay? I didn't watch the whole thing but I don't think so. Playoff baseball just takes forever.

A-Rod = Yankee legend

Wow huge call there at 2b, I know they don't usually make the SS touch the base on the double play turn but that was technically the correct call. I've never been a big fan of allowing the 2b or SS to miss the bag anyways while trying to turn the DP.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 17, 2009 -> 10:30 PM) Every year I tune in to listen to Buck and McCarver, and every year they get more boring and much dumber, respectively. I find it ridiculous that the best Fox and TBs can come up with is Buck and McCarver, and Chip Carey and Buck Martinez. How the hell does that happen?

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 17, 2009 -> 10:19 PM) No postseason runs allowed at home since '01. He is just unbelievable. I hope he pitches until he is 50.

Tex, A-Rod, Matusi for the Yanks in the bottom of the 9th, tied at 2.

River is 39 and is still absolutely filthy. I see no reason why the guy won't be able to pitch effectively until he is 45 (perhaps even longer).

That could be an absolutely huge error by Jeter.

Not that I really think Illinois had a chance to win the game at that point but down 13 with the ball and you aren't hurrying it up and snapping and then when you have the ball at the IU 30 with like 45 seconds left you don't use any timeout? Put the ball in the end zone and then kick the onside kick and see what happens. But no take your sweet f***ing time, don't throw to the endzone and eat your timeouts. Seriously, WTF? That really pisses me off when the coaches quit in a game. That is more inexcusable then the terrible discipline and decision making of the team. To flat out quit when you still have a chance to win the game? f***ing horrible. GTFO Zook.

Juice has regressed more than any player I have ever seen. He played so well through the Indiana game last year and since that point has just been unbelievably bad.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 17, 2009 -> 06:40 PM) By the way, Iowa might lose @ Michigan State tomorrow, but if anyone watched the 2nd half of today's game you can see why Iowa is a legitimate top 15 team, borderline top 10 team. They have a great defense, above average receivers, an above average oline, solid freshman backs, and a solid QB. If Stanzi continues to improve and get his confidence back and Robinson/Wegner hold up and the team stays healthy they got a shot to get into a BCS game, which would be huge for recruiting and the program ($$$). One game at a time though and Iowa has had some problems against the Spartans. Huge f***ing road win for the Hawkeyes though. Curious to see where they'll be in the initial BCS standings. Also, I'm curious to see if this win @ Wiscy helps them with Fiedor. Moeaki had a few huge catches as did our back-up TE. We use TE's better than any-team in the country (Wiscy also using them well). You watch McCoy play for USC today? But you guys use your TEs a hell of a lot better than Illinois and that is what matters. Also, I don't know what I would call the Illinois-Indiana game but it sure as hell doesn't look like a D1 football game.

ND got away with an illegal chop block there, offensive lineman diving at the USC player's legs from behind.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Oct 17, 2009 -> 05:50 PM) Yeah, he's gotta make those. But, it wouldn't have mattered if Mallet hadn't already missed 2 open WR's in the endzone today. Oh, and if the refs treated Florida the same as any other team. Not saying they wouldn't have gotten the TD last drive, but it would have made it a lot harder for them to. I would go as far as to say the refs basically cheated for Florida.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 17, 2009 -> 05:55 PM) It's ridiculous how much taunting Tate is allowed to get away with. USC's doing their best to let ND back into this game. USC lost their edge when they got the big lead

10 penalties for 92 yards for Arkansas. 3 for 16 for Florida. Just saying

Arkansas kicker blows. Way to probably lose your team the game.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 17, 2009 -> 05:37 PM) Another gift on the personal foul. That was terrible officiating on back-to-back plays that led to a TD. Bad pass interference call and then easily one of the worst personal foul calls ever. They basically rewarded the Florida player for trying to get a cheap shot and then getting blown up. Pathetic.

Florida just gets the benefit of an embarrassingly bad personal foul call and then scores a TD>

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 17, 2009 -> 05:12 PM) Yep, it's amazing that Tate doesn't get 10 personal fouls every game. However, #93 on USC is an idiot for getting that penalty, as USC had all the momentum in the world. BTW, the non-call on a late hit to McKnight in the first half is one of the worst calls you'll see. He was out of bounds for a good 10 yards and then got hit late. Just like Tebow is allowed to celebrate as much as he wants and do whatever he wants after making a good play and never get penalized for it.

He was out of bounds for a good 10 yards and then got hit late. Honestly I'm all for just getting rid of excessive celebration as a penalty. How about we just use common sense, you use props, do an extended dance, etc. penalty. It really isn't that difficult to determine what is excessive and what isn't.

So just so I'm clear, get a sack flex your muscles -15 yard penalty. Make a great catch flex your muscles, no penalty.

f*** this unsportsmanlike conduct bulls***. I'm so sick of this non sense. It is football let them have fun as long as they aren't going up to a player on the other team and taunting them.
