The Bears better make the playoffs, or I am just going to start running over people. This is fucking ridiculous, yet another shitastic sports year is circling down the drain...

[Saul Goodman]

Go Cats!  After toppling mighty Towson, anything is possible.

So what did you guys think of that Illini season? Wasn't very long or exciting.

At least we found out early that they are shitty.

I like that you guys still had enough faith in the team to be disappointed.

I blacked out last night, so I don't remember just how shitty they actually were. 
But if Weebs doesn't care about them, I don't either.

I would like to put in a word for the Cal Bears.     That word is "Best".

Cal looked "Capable of beating USC" dangerous last night. Good stuff from those guys.

Holy hell is Rutgers getting its ass kicked by Cincinnati.

Can the best game of the year be in the first week?  Univ of Miami 38, FSU 34.  Game ended on a FSU dropped ball in the end zone with no time left.  Six lead changes. Miami QB sets the record for passing yardage in a UM-FSU game (and there have been more than a few decent quarterbacks in that series).  Neither defense was very good, but still a really entertaining game with loads of huge plays.  And Bowden lost.

Why couldn't the Illini tackle anyone? Also, how can you miss a fucking extra point?  What the fuck?

[Tinker to Evers to Chance]

Why couldn't the Illini New Mexico State tackle anyone? Also, how can you miss a fucking extra point?  What the fuck?

TEC'd.

And the National Champions continue their reign...

Yes, Iowa got lucky.  But can anyone explain the logic of why a blocked kick that doesn't cross the line of scrimmage that is recovered by the kicking team results in a clock stoppage?  Why is that any different from a fumble recovery or a recovery of a dropped lateral?

The clock should have run out after the first block.

Iowa State will beat them. Their inability to stop Northern Iowa when it went 5 wide is concerning, considering Iowa State runs a spread with a pretty decent quarterback in Austin Arnaud.

Considering that he is not only our Resident Desipio Rules Expert but an Iowa grad, I would expect a Dave B. post in 3...2...1...

If the answer is, "Because the rule is written that way," then it's a fucking dumb rule.  One hopes it's not because a blocked FG takes longer to untangle the bodies than any other type of play does.

There is some logic here.  Right?
