I 100% endorse this comment!

Right!?! Never mind Smith's stupid PI or Howard/Day's lousy clock management.

Interesting. Tomlin doesn't strike me as the type to allow a contract to determine who he plays. Wouldn't be surprised if the Steelers truly believe their offense is better with Wilson. Or they at least want to see how it looks.

I hope that's true! I was wondering at the time if they did it on purpose. I love the addition of Oregon to the Big Ten. Saturday nights in Autzen is an electric atmosphere. Obviously, great game. The most surprising stat to me was Oregon's OL completely manhandling the OSU DL. Not a single sack for the Buckeyes.

BINGO on Swift! He is a huge asset for CW to have back there. I'm glad to finally have you onboard, Bob. I've read that Waldren hasn't been holding back. They're taking advantage of his intelligence and feeding him the entire playbook. And it's supposedly complex. As you said, he's progressed to the point where he's taking the time to read the defense and calling checks at the line. It's impressive to see. And his accuracy and ability to put the ball where it needs to be to get caught is impressive as well. The backshoulder TD pass to Allen was an absolutely perfectly thrown ball. The TD pass that was called back for illegal shift looked like it was an absolutely dime on a quick roll out. We didn't get a replay of it though. Just goes to show how badly he missed Moore for a TD on the INT. That was a complete brain cramp of a play. Easy TD. Great to see him bounceback right back wiht a TD drive.

I think I Eddie Mushed the Royals after the Carroll game. I was high on them after that game. The HCC is a headscratcher to me this year outside of Westfield and Brownsburg. No idea how the FC team I saw at Zionsivlle was able to beat Fishers and HSE. I have no issues with New Pal in the Top 10. They're like Crown Point to me. We know the schedule sucks. But, we know there is a lot of talent there and Elite level coaching. It's hard to bet against Kyle Ralph.

I know absolutely nothing about Roncalli or the Southside. Are they seeing a decline in talent from the Center Grove district or has Roncalli never really benefitted that much from the Center Grove disctrict?

Oh, man does Sara Spain annoy me. She's the stereotype of LIberal Elitist. Grew up in pristine Lake Forest, IL, Ivy League educated and married a millionaire Chicago businessman. Loves to educate others on their wrong ways. She criticized Barstool for exploiting women, yet she literally sold herself for tickets and a paid expenses to the Bears / Colts Superbowl. She's also been called out for bullying otheer women in Bristol.

Brownsburg's Sophomore QB could be the difference maker. He's good. And he has fast WR's that can get behind a secondary that he has the arm strength to hit. The broadcast I listened to on Friday said he's already getting recruited by Michigan.

Yeah, seems low. Betting public clearly doens't trus the Bears. I saw the Bears left on Sunday or Monday. They want the players to have enough time to get used to the timezone difference and acclimate to London time. Smart move.

I wasn't even there and I'm fairly confidant that Washington fan was acting like a complege jag off to the Michigan bench. Still doesn't excuse Bryant for losing composure. You're paid to be an adult. Act like it.

Which begs the question is Brock Spack ready for the Power 5 or has he not accomplished enough at Illinois State?

@CaptainHookI ran out of reactions. Great stuff...congrats!

Impressive performance by Vandy students carrying the goalpost from Vandy's campus all the way to Broadway and then eventually into the Cumberland River.

I hope Purdue follows the path they took with this guy and IU took with Cig. Find an adult who has proven he can create a culture and is good at scheming.

Haha. That was awesome that the mic's picked up the C yelling "We're under F'n Fire here!" Agreed regarding OL. Seems like they play better when the tempo is picked up. The past 2 weeks have shown the passing game is a lot easier when the running game is working. I don't hate the Swift pickup as much now that we can see what he can do with open field.

I've always wanted to visit Madison. Hear the Brew Pub scene there on State Street is great. Was the student section THAT empty the entire game?

Here's CW's pass chart from Sunday. One thing I really like about his play is that he's using the whole field and not just dialed into one side.

Gervon Dexter is tied for 2nd among interior DL with 4 sacks on the year. This guy put in a lot of work in the offseason with the DE's to get quicker and it's paying off. He has been wreaking havoc on interior OL's with pressure this year. Getting him in the 2nd round was a steal.

I'm seeing his name show up as MAC players on the NFL Draft radar. Excellent Safety.

I didn't even bother watching. I didn't think it could ever get worse than the Hazel years, yet here we are. And for what? Because Walters took a job as DC at Illinois, was given some NFL talent, and his defense looked good against crappy Big Ten West offenses. Purdue hired a defensive minded coach and his defenses are absolutely abysmal. Good stuff. Switching topics, I watched a little of the A&M / Missouri game. Nic Scourton is an absolute monster. I can see why he's projected as a 1st rounder. I was originally pissed that he bailed on Purdue and went back to Texas considering, per 247, SMU was the best instate offer he received in HS. But, it's impossible to blame the kid for turning down A&M NIL money to stay and play for a likely winless team in B1G play.

Yeah, this is interesting to me. The guy is 63 and will be getting paid very well with no expectations to win a Title. He could ride out life comfortably into retirement and create a name for himself in the Big Ten or throw himself into the lions den elsewhere.

I don't pay attention to Stanford. No idea how they went from the Harbaugh / Early David Shaw era to this. Are the reversible jackets in chaos right now? Or, does IU still stay in the closet until basketball starts?
