September 17, 200718 yr Double D speaks: http://www.southbendtribune.com/apps/pbcs....70326/1129/News Basically told them the same thing he told me Saturday in the student section. He got ambushed by reporters as he left though, denied he was even Double D so he could get out of there. I'm glad to see he admits and understands the way he did this was pretty lame, but I still can't wait to see him play for NIU next year.
September 17, 200718 yr I know i'm late but i was busy all weekend. I haven't seen an illinois team look that good since i've been here. The running game looked amazing and juice didn't make any dumb mistakes. We keep that up, we're going bowling.

September 17, 200718 yr Its fine to talk about the recruiting classes and point to that as why ND sucks so bad. But the team lacks fundamentals completely. I do not think Weis has figured out that college kids need to be treated differently than NFL players.

We keep that up, we're going bowling. this week will tell a lot. indiana's improved, at home, and beat illinois last year. if you win, you can head into the most difficult stretch of the season (penn state, wisconsin, at iowa, michigan) with a little momentum. if you lose you're looking at 2-6.

The running game looked amazing and juice didn't make any dumb mistakes. We keep that up, we're going bowling. That's saying....well, nothing. I was more impressed with the loss to Mizzou than I am with the win this weekend, Syracuse blows. Juice still can't complete any medium to long passes, and that is going to be a huge problem when we face decent defenses. I still have zero confidence in the passing game. If they didn't blow out Syracuse I would have been extremely concerned.
September 19, 200718 yr ^ I was hoping it was a football power house like Ball State. / What ever happened to the Hokey Pokey?
September 20, 200718 yr Since I was gone over the weekend, I just want to say congrats to Northside and Heads on that ISU win. Hopefully my Hawkeyes can rebound this weekend on the road and pull a major upset
September 20, 200718 yr Well im hopefully going to be at the Wisconsin beating of Iowa. From what ive been told Iowa doesnt play spread right?
September 21, 200718 yr I think A&M falls a clear step below Texas, Nebraska, Missouri, and Tech. Stephen McGee just isn't a good QB.
September 21, 200718 yr I f***ing hate aTm. We beat em' in College Station in 05, lets beat em again in Ames in '08.

September 22, 200718 yr Just looked at the UM/PSU line -- I was thinking about making a play. I thought Michigan had a good chance of pulling off a pretty good upset, with PSU being a Top 10 team and all. -- They're only 3 point dogs, 2.5 some places... Not enough insurance for me to make a play, but I've got a feelin' Meecheegan can pull it off.
September 22, 200718 yr I like Michigan as well, but I am a little biased. How often is Michigan a dog in the Big House? Couple that with the fact they have not lost to Penn St since 1996 and they still have lots to prove after the first two weeks and I think you have a solid victory for the Big Blue.
September 22, 200718 yr I'm thinking UM pulls the upset as well. Edited September 22, 200718 yr by Rowand44

September 22, 200718 yr QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Sep 22, 2007 -> 06:28 AM) I honestly don't even really see it as an upset. I really don't either but Vegas does, so that's my reasoning.

The types of teams that kill Michigan are the ones with mobile QB's. PSU doesn't have that so I actually feel confident Michigan can win, but don't count anything out this year.
September 22, 200718 yr QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Sep 22, 2007 -> 04:12 AM) I'm thinking UM pulls the upset as well. I'd be more confident in them with a healthy Henne but I think Michigan will make its way back into the polls.
September 22, 200718 yr Holy Crap, go Syracuse!!! You still suck, but I wonder if Louisville even bothers to put a defense on the field.
