Strong WR recruiting class(2-5*, 1-4*) Landing Michael Jordan's cousin's nephew was pretty sweet too.

If you see me on, Fire, shoot me a message. I'll be home watching hockey and can play whenever. Counselor is not gonna be in a great mood if this game continues on its path.

Michigan takes Iowa to the woodshed 58-16, and it wasn't even that close.

They drove down the field on their first possession, but my D tightened up and held them to an FG. It was all Wolverines from there on.

Their 2 TD's came on a fluky INT (I uploaded the vid) they returned for a TD and a fumble they return into the red zone.

Robinson threw for over 200, ran for 80 and had 4 total TD's.

=============== #1 Notre Dame Fighting Irish (8-0) ===============

- (****) RT Billy Hubbard has committed to Kentucky

I recruited the hell out of that bastard and still lost out to Kentucky. WTF?!?!

If you see me on, Fire, shoot me a message. I'll be home watching hockey and can play whenever. Counselor is not gonna be in a great mood if this game continues on its path.

I'll see what I can do. I've got a lot of work to wrap up tonight.

#24 Kansas rolls on the road, winning 47-6 over Iowa State. ISU's lone score came on the first play of the game, as Josh Lenz took the opening kick to the house. But it was all Kansas after that.

It was their first game as a ranked team this season. I'm hoping to see them move up a bit, as they have #7 Texas in two weeks. But it will be the last that will really decide just how good of a bowl Kansas can muster, when they take on #3 Northwestern. So far, my luck against human ranked teams is not good.

Sorry I couldn't play last night, Fire, midnight was pushing it, plus the Hawks/Canucks game was getting down to it. I'm pretty available the rest of the week though. Might hit the bar Friday after work but we'll see.

I figured it'd be a tough sell. There's a slim possibility of tonight, but I think Counselor has first dibs (and I actually have to get up early tomorrow, for a change). Thursday/Friday probably work better.

How about Thursday night then? I dont have any plans to go out after work so that should work.

Dang, played to the level of my competition. Washington 16 - UCLA 13.

Probably shouldn't have tried a new offensive having not played in 3+ weeks.

UCLA made it a one point game at the end of the third thanks to a missed extra point on UCLA's side of things. We pushed it out to a FG lead thanks to a safety with a minute left.

2 games left for the week!

ND worked me. I thought I was going to have a good game when he fumbled the kickoff back to me but my offense sputtered the rest of the game.

Good luck on the rest of your season. Hopefully we will meet again for the national title.

We are 12/12 ready to roll

Holy f*ck, what a great, nerve-wracking game. ND hurries out of Baton Rouge with a 33-21 victory. It was a very close game. 17-14 at the half. 21-20 at the start of the 4th. Lots of fun.

Somehow we held LSU's option attack to reasonable yardage. Like Leroy, I thought things mightbe bad after ND fumbled the opening kickoff, giving up a touchdown soon thereafter. However, the turnover gods favored ND in this game as LSU gave up two fumbles and an INT.

ND held the offensive advantage, 409 - 253 yards. HB Cierre Wood continued his great season gaining 138 yards on 17 carries and earning 3 TDs...he now has 23 on the year. (To be fair, several of those came in a 5 OT game...)

Wow...great game, Leroy. It was exciting!

By the way, craziest part of last night's game: I have a senior QB rated in the 90s. Yet for half of the game, he got the squiggly lines of home field advantage. LSU must be a loud place...

Also, I bonked a 58 yard FG attempt off of the crossbar at the end of the half...stupid kicking game lag!
