  1. I'm with you..Kelly had to know Purdue was depleted....that is why I thought he could have taken his foot off the gas more than he did.
  2. that was a serious beatdown.....I thought Kelly would take his foot off the gas a little more than he did. When I saw them passing into the endzone with a 42-0 lead, (ended in a pick I think) that had me scratching my head. Tough flight home......
  3. Wow! Either someone is still grumpy about the Michigan loss, or someone pissed in your Wheaties this morning..... Is sharing some possibilities as to the cause of such a horrible event really that bad? After all, this is a forum....and I've not known you to be shy about sharing your thoughts......
  4. Quite the comeback for Tulane. From 2-10 last year, to 12-2 this year and a Cotton Bowl win over USC, quite the program turnaround.
  5. you lost me...what year did that happen? I know it wasn't this past season or the previous 4. St. Francis would not beat ISU, let alone by 5 TD's
  6. Gotcha...so the four that are TBD could be anywhere on the schedule...I did see some weeks with openings earlier in the season...that makes sense. I missed the TBD
  7. interesting schedule...5 home games in a row...5 games on the road in a row. That doesn't seem too common.
  8. IU didn't exactly handle Idaho (FCS) this season. ISU and Akron will not be gimme's.
  9. Gifted 2 interceptions? Maybe...or perhaps their DB's simply beat the Michigan WR's and obviously fooled the QB...and that goes back to my point that TCU has a better QB. Agree about comments inside the 5 yard line, but there is no guarantee that Michigan scores even if Harbaugh had been more conventional when he ran the trick play. The fumble was tough and I agree that it absolutely should have been a TD with the pass prior. TCU ran the ball on Michigan at the end to eat clock, running Duggan with keeps....Michigan committed everyone and still couldn't prevent a critical first down. That ate clock and took away Michigan's time outs. When it counted, TCU ran on Michigan as they had pretty much the entire game. That stands out in my mind when a team knows what's coming and still can't stop it. That's not giving away a win...that's the inability to take it away.
  10. I am torn on that comment.... I don't know much about TCU.....I do think they have a better QB than Michigan.....faster WR's....and their line won the LOS scrimmage battle, gaining more almost 90 more yards rushing...and that really surprised me. Michigan was down 21-6 at half and was always playing catchup. TCU made Michigan pay with bad throws from their QB. They ate up those interceptions. Claiming Michigan only beat themselves, its oversimplifying in my opinion, and it doesn't give credit to an opponent.
  11. Good summary..... Michigan/TCU - it is so tough to overcome 2 defensive scores....the 2 pick 6's for TCU was absolutely brutal to the Wolverines chances. I was also shocked that TCU whupped Michigan on the line of scrimmage. The Horned Frogs had 263 yds rushing at 6.4 yds/attempt. They got that first down near the end of the game by running the ball up the gut, taking critical time away from Michigan and forcing them to burn their timeouts. That was critical. Michigan absolutely got hosed with reversing the TD on the pass play. Not sure what the replay official saw that would reverse what was called on the field. The field officials got it right. ESPN analysts at halftime really voiced their opinions that the replay official screwed up a critical call. OSU/UGA - You are right about the Harrison injury....not only did it stop the drive, but having him out of the 4th quarter took away a serious weapon. That was a shame he couldn't return. Both UGA and OSU lost their starting TE's in the first half, and they are both weapons. The overturned 4th down play by UGA in which their TE made a crazy play to pick up the 1st down. What went from a stop, turned into points for UGA. Finally, Kirby Smart calling that TO just before OSU executed a beautiful fake punt play. That also took away a first down and gave the ball to UGA. Great games....hurts for the Big 10. Most disappointed in Michigan. They just seemed not ready to play in the first half and make critical game changing mistakes. 21-6 at half, before they finally woke up and exploded offensively in the 2nd half. I am not sure what happened to both OSU and Michigan's defenses.....they need a ton of focus on that side of the ball going into next season. Finally, I have no idea what is a targeting call anymore.....its obvious that neither do the officials on the field or with the replay team.
  12. I was a little surprised...I believe Vegas made UGA a 13 point favorite.
  13. Georgia better get a pass rush working because their secondary is their weak link
  14. It may have been close, but no way should have call been overturned. Nothing definitive to change call on the field. That’s not on the field crew. Agree with your roughing comment. I am surprised Michigan is getting run on so easily especially in the red zone. . TCU hammering them in the trenches when it counts. Duggan is a saavy QB
  15. Well, let’s see what the Wolverines can do in the 2nd half. Gotta to get scores when that close to the end zone. Horrible pick 6. Speaking of horrible, how in the world did the Michigan TD pass get reversed following replay? Nothing close to warrant an overturn of the call. Fumble on the next play resulting in a TO. Officials factored big time in taking earned points off the board.
  16. Carson wins a Scottie and gets some love from ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt. Carson’s attire promoting the Center Grove Trojan brand. Well done young man!! https://www.facebook.com/1152611718/posts/pfbid0Fwsn1vHaQBxbkgu14ev4SyNWzBNsNyKSjHHMZpoJAhW3jVs9EzKEVvudRwBybdxdl/?mibextid=cr9u03
  17. What a year for former IU QB Michael Penix Jr at the University of Washington. Threw for over 4000 yds and led his team to a 11 win season and a bowl victory over Texas last night. We all know the Huskies coach is the former IU offensive coordinator. Coaching and offensive line play matters.
  18. Coach, I seem to remember Purdue fans taking a victory lap last year when Brady Allen was secured. I guess sometimes 10 months is a lifetime ago. As far as not having an issue with a coach making promo type videos….well, that depends on the coach!! 😆
  19. You serious Clark? That being the case, I would hope he doesn’t close his eyes to talent right in front of his face. He obviously felt he needed to go outside.
  20. I get that…perhaps it’s my bias showing for Allen. Hope he ends up at IU or another Big Ten school and makes Purdue regret losing him.
  21. That wasn’t the question. Why go after the Texas QB, if you recruited Allen a year ago indicating he was the future? Why not hand Allen the keys?
  22. Did Purdue not believe in Allen? I don’t get it. The new Purdue coach is tweeting with a cat who ate the canary look because he landed the Texas QB…a person he’s never worked with….I thought a year ago, Allen was the future. What has happened??
