I thought Akron played GeoryTech today?
In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.
Good night Fair, long day...tired
Great comeback win by Akron but geez, I'd love to know what Toupee George Costanza was thinking by having his QB huck the ball down the field on 4th down from his own 30 with :07 left and keeping :02 on the clock when it fell incomplete. That gave NW a real decent look at a game-winning throw.
Man, it’s gotta be Ash or Lovie Smith, right? Fitz has put together some solid teams, went 10-3 two of the past three years, and has even knocked off PSU a couple of times. And it’s not like NW is a bastion of talent either
I hope somewhere Jim Delaney has some bad indigestion.
I’m referring to actual game day coaching. He’s good as the head of the program but leaves much to be desired on Saturdays imo
No worries for Delany. He can buy a lot of Rolaids with his recent $20 million bonus
I was very pleased with the results of the big 10 games this weekend.
I'm happy for Terry Bowden -- he is one of the good guys in college football.
For Fitz, losing to Duke and Akron on consecutive weeks -- that's a bad stretch.
I've said this before -- it is just a mistake for Fitz to try to run a pro-style offense with big, immobile quarterbacks. You have to have an overpowering O-line to pull it off, and almost nobody can produce a big overpowering O-line.
Thorson makes bad decisions when he gets pressured in the pocket. Lost a fumble for a TD and threw two pick-sixes. I have never quite understood the hype about that guy.
NW doesn't need a 6-4 statue back there because they can't protect him. They need mobile QBs like they used to have.

We won, the rest of them can pound sand
And I hope you understand that if we end up 11-1 with a close loss to Ohio State we'll likely be in a bowl game and not a playoff game.
Then maybe we should try to beat Tosu.
I’ll take the immediate joy of the Big10 teams losing over the delayed gratification of the potential (but by no means guaranteed) benefits of Big10 teams winning now.
Might not happen to us.. but it did happen to Wisconsin just last year. 12-1, close loss to OSU, no playoff. Heck, our history shows 5 undefeated seasons that didn't result in a national title. In 2005, Texas beat Ohio State and went on to play in the national title game. If we the outcome is reversed, we likely play in the title game. Luckily, no matter who you root for, it doesn't effect the outcome.
