College football - Week 10 - Page 2

I have to agree that it's more that the information's out there. Nowadays, you see people get canned and disciplined for saying stupid things on facebook and twitter. High school and college kids fill their photos with pictures of them drunk and doing drugs, somehow having the disconnect between that and what they'll be doing post-college. Why would college football players getting "ineligible money" be any different? The only difference is that it wasn't easily available for public consumption in 1990 or 2000.

I suppose if you want to get really picky about it, you could argue the that the near-miss on the death penalty USC got for the Reggie Bush case made everyone more sensitive to the money issues and then Marvin made his tweet in just such an environment, sort of like lighting a match in a coal mine.

I think Auburn if the NCAA really investigates them will be the reason why recruiting could completely change. Corey Lemonier posted on facebook after signing day a picture of his brand new yellow corvette. Among those who follow recruiting closely they believe that Auburn brought its last recruiting class because they were afraid of Bama, who might be the dirtiest of them all.

I know this hard for some people to believe but every team pays for a big time recruit. The difference between the Bamas, Auburns, LSUs and the rest of the country is everyone else does it for two or three players a cycle while the SEC does it for every player they sign.

I mentioned it before and I'll mention it again. Coach Anderson at Mizzou said he would never return to coaching in the SEC region because the level of dirty recruiting was at an exponential level when compared to other regions. I'm sure there's some funny business going on all around, but the SEC schools have made it an art.

Anyone watching Michigan/Illinois? If so, why?

This is the worst football game ever. If anyone is watching this besides fans of the respective teams they are gluttons for punishment.

I've got it on one of my TV's, no sound though. I'm sure you liked that 60 yard run by the Illini? Nice tackling on that one, wow.

I have become numb to defense.

DeToxRox · 11-06-2010, 12:17 PM

Not sure how legit this is but on Wikipedia it says the record for receiving yards in a game at Michigan is 197. Roy Roundtree has 192 in the first half.

Bigsmooth · 11-06-2010, 12:20 PM

Oh chit, great play by Hemingway. At least their offense is fun to watch.

Yep. If I believed RR could put his ego aside and hire a totally new defensive staff and let them do their thing i'd be fine with him staying here but I don't see it.

John Navarre's record for 389 yards in a game is in jeopardy at this rate. Denard is already at 262.

mauchow · 11-06-2010, 12:24 PM

Jeez, one of the worst first halves of Wisconsin football I've seen.

Purdue playing well and it could be worse but it also could be favoring the Badgers too. Such a strange game so far. I've no doubt that the Badgers still win and win easily but they need to win by more than one score. Let's hope for some better defense in the second half.

Matthean · 11-06-2010, 12:26 PM

Can the announcers stop talking about Illinois's defense considering they get posted for 28 in a half? Oh, 56 points in a half. Ladies and gentlemen. It's Michigan football!

Only game on here this early.

Watching these two defenses is painful though. They're making WAC defenses from the 90s look like the steel curtain.

DeToxRox · 11-06-2010, 12:29 PM

Gibby just called his best play ever on that reverse. He's officially peaked.

What an embarrassment this defense is.....

Matthean · 11-06-2010, 12:38 PM

62 total points in a half. Clearly RR missed his calling as a basketball coach.

Matthean · 11-06-2010, 12:41 PM

Purdue is up 10-6 versus Wisconsin and Iowa is tied 6-6 with Indiana. Looks like a couple teams aren't really trying to win a conference title.

bronconick · 11-06-2010, 12:42 PM

Blackmon for OK State is such a beast, only a SOPH too. Just a man amongst boys out there.

2nd time I've heard the phrase "student body tryout" describing Michigan players.

Matthean · 11-06-2010, 01:42 PM

RR channeling Mike Shanahan. Subs in Forcier and he turns it over on the first play.

mauchow · 11-06-2010, 01:47 PM

Okie dokely, my pre-game prediction of a 41-13 Badgers win is looking a lot more possible now.

mauchow · 11-06-2010, 02:10 PM

Iowa scores with under three to play quite easily leaving Indiana plenty of time to go down the field themselves.. they had their opportunities getting into or close to the red zone.. Perfect throw by the QB into the endzone and the wide open WR dropped one of the easiest hand catches to make to preserve the Iowa victory. How lucky is Iowa..

Typical complete mail in job on the road after two big games at home.

SirFozzie · 11-06-2010, 02:27 PM

Wow, Barn Burner between Virginia and Duke, Virginia, Virginia just took the lead 48-47 with 2:26 to play.

Greyroofoo · 11-06-2010, 02:28 PM

Vanderbilt certainly isn't a credit to SEC football.

mauchow · 11-06-2010, 02:32 PM

All right, what a great set of 2:30 games! Time to make the hole in my coach sink that much deeper!

SirFozzie · 11-06-2010, 02:34 PM

wow. A running play with :45 or so to go, and the RB goes 35 yards to put Duke ahead of them.

Amateurs. 52-52 Ill.-Mich.

SirFozzie · 11-06-2010, 02:37 PM

Heh.. Duke gets the 2 point conversion, 55-48!

Virginia has :40 and all three time outs.

kingfc22 · 11-06-2010, 02:38 PM

Michigan's defense is a total JOKE! I mean wow week after week.

Michigan's D gets embarrassed on the same exact play and now it's 59-52.

EDIT: 59-59.

mauchow · 11-06-2010, 02:42 PM

RR staying a head coach longer.. a half hour longer than most anticipated, that is.

mauchow · 11-06-2010, 02:49 PM

Not really sure what to think about Utah's uniforms...

Bah. You guys get the artificial sweetner that is Triple OVertime

. the 55-48 game was all natural (from low quality ingredients, I grant, Duke and VA)

mauchow · 11-06-2010, 02:51 PM

Michigan literally tramples over the Indiana Qb who just got sacked on the 2 pt attempt.. hope the kid is okay. Michigan gets the win.

DaddyTorgo · 11-06-2010, 02:58 PM

My dad (an alum) and my lil brother were at the Michigan game today. Lucky for them - I didn't watch the whole thing, but it looked pretty damn fun.

Izulde · 11-06-2010, 02:58 PM

UNLV down 0-38 at the half to BYU. Thankfully college basketball season is just about here.

52-52 even before OT. 67-65 total. RR has to breathe a sigh of relief that they won, or his decision to bench Robinson would be the virtual lock for him to be gone.

That Oregon TD was nice.

Matthean · 11-06-2010, 04:14 PM

Scores on ESPN has are a mess. I'm literally getting scores from various points in the game from Oregon being 0-0 to TCU being 0-0 and 'Bama being in the first quarter and then sometimes they display the right score. I have to literally go into Gamecast to get the right score.

Classic Indiana. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. First, allow a 90-yard drive in 3 plays to go behind late. Then, drop the winning TD with 28 seconds left.

Disappointed for our seniors (it was our last home game of the season), but hopefully this helps seal Bill Lynch's fate at the end of the season. I'm hoping that 0-8 in the Big Ten is enough to get this joke of a head coach fired.

mauchow · 11-06-2010, 04:41 PM

Go LSU.

Go ISU.

Go Washington.
