Oh, can't wait for ND on Saturday.
I'm not liking this Big 10 Network thingy, considering that me and all my friends have comcast.

Pretty much all cupcakes on the menu for the top 25 teams this week. Nicely padded schedules for the contenders as usual.
Lets see here, I think I'm gonna go with #16 Rutgers, opening at home of course, against the University of Buffalo, which is 7-51 over the past five seasons. Should be exciting! :thumbsup:

Not only do a lot of top teams schedule cupcake non-conference games I think I read somewhere, though I could be wrong, that some of them might in fact have more home games than away. :wtf:
In that respect I do have to give credit to USC. They do seem to schedule harder games then they have to unlike other places out there.
You are correct sir. I just read an article on it detailing what a sham the schedules are this year. Pretty much all the top 25 teams have adopted the 7 home games and 5 away as a standard, since they went to the 12 game format. They just all added an extra cupcake at home to the menu at the beginning of the year.
In fact, Rutgers and Auburn both play 8 home and 4 away this year.
Auburn opens with 4 straight at home even. And since the 6 wins rule is still in effect to become bowl eligible, it would take a catastrophe of epic proportions to not go at least 6-6, and miss a bowl.

me too. usc actually has the balls to schedule a game in lincoln. oh well trojan fans, it was a good idea, but your title hopes will come crashing down due to your teams nerve.
This Big Ten thing is quite a media hype these days...

Well #10 Louisville Cardinals handled their business at home against Murray State Prep, 73 -10. One down, five to go to become bowl eligible.
They should have a mercy rule for these early cupcake rounds, like they do in high school football. Get up by so much by half time, and just let the clock run without stopping.

Or teams should observe sportsmanship and not have there starters in after your up by 28 points on a 1AA team. There is absolutely no reason to run up the score when you already have an easy day out.

:rofl: is that what you are hoping for? eligibility? :1orglaugh
Now..when do we discuss the 5 interceptions? Or should we forget they ever happened and hope they don't happen again...so the game might close.
Sam Keller blows. You will see for yourself soon enough.
RE:USC having "balls" to go to Lincoln from below... USC has balls to play anyone. Go back and review recent years schedules. Or go look at future schedules. USC has destroyed the following...Auburn on the road (shut them out at Auburn. You try to do that). Meatchicken in the Rose 2X lately..Okie in the Orange (hung 55 on them--you try to do that)...scored 120+ points against Arky including 50 in their place (you try to do that). I won't bother to list all the Notre Dame beatdowns or the Iowa beatdown..Colorado beatdown..etc. KState did nail USC twice--back in 2001/2002. I'd love to play them again and "settle the score."
Huskers are in for a humbling day on the field...USC has a bye week before the game. Believe me. It will be nasty.
go michigan state! lol...they suck but i love em!
Yeah! I think that Dantonio is going to be a pretty good coach for them, but barring Duffy coming back from the grave I don't see alot of wins coming very soon. Ringer and Caulcrick should be a fun RB tandem to watch though.

michigan lost to appalachian state. :rofl::rofl::rofl:
:shocked: :rofl:
the only thing I get out of ncaa football is the lopsided scores, nfl prospects and the BCS championship game. I only want to be awakened when they put a playoff or plus1 system in to make the season legit.
jus' seen the highlights on espn.com... :1orglaugh people were crying in the stands and shit :1orglaugh
Holy shit! :rofl:
Fortunately for them they have a cupcake game coming up soon: Notre Dame
