I'd love to see that town after a big win.

Defense looks about as bad as I thought it would....altho Chick just got a sack, so that was nice. Still, this is a steep climb just as I knew it would be.

I don't understand Louisville from last week. They're up 32-14 in the 3rd quarter and decided to pull their QB. He had been playing great. That kind of cautiousness suffices in the pros and whatnot but it won't cut it in college where you need to blow opponents out of the water to rise in the rankings. Maybe he was being nice to the UK staff but with the gutted and crappy Big East, they need to do what they can to make a statement.

A couple big plays by Perryman on the goalline. Hold them to 3. KSU 17 MIAMI 3.

Come on offense, no more fumbles and mistakes. Need a TD next drive. We're learning a tough lesson here, it will pay off in a couple years, but its tough with 34 freshman and sophomores in the two deep.

Toussaint, who gained 1,041 yards as a redshirt sophomore last season, was suspended for the Wolverines' season-opening 41-14 loss to No. 2 Alabama last Saturday. Although he was reinstated earlier this week, it was still in question whether or not he'd be starting Saturday.

I've heard it grumbled that people think the suspensions were just his way of being a coward and providing an excuse for a game he knew he couldn't win. It'll be interesting to see how much differences they actually make.

If you're inside your own 10 and there's nothing there... a throwaway is a good option.

Ouch. Two years in a row, Collin Klein turns into Superman against us, maybe its the initials.

No the U just sucks. Like the while ACC

[SoCalBronco]

This is just awful. Bunche got owned on the edge.

[Rock Chalk]

Man KSuck is putting a clinic on the dirtiest program in college. This is awesome

No, we've actually got alot of talented players, the problem is they are almost all true freshman and true sophomores.

[Rock Chalk]

Mike you know I'm just messing with you right?

[SoCalBronco]

There's no reason for Mike James to be the primary back, anymore. As good a kid he is, he doesnt offer much. Duke needs to be the man.

lucky you guys get big games, the only one I've got up here is Auburn/Mississippi State *yawn*

I would call Ksu and Miami a big game. Miami is down and has been since like 2001. Ksu is only good when Snyder is the coach. Still better than watching miss state ever

[That One Guy]

That play just outdid Plummer's lefty throw and just about any other ugly/stupid plays I can ever think of.

At least you play in the ACC and can get a bowl with such a cake schedule

sorry maybe big game is a stretch, but it's still ****ing Mississippi St ha-ha

I'd even take Ohio State cause they have a top 25 ranking. Plus looks like UCF is giving em a run for their money.

[SoCalBronco]

One more shot for the endzone and then kick the FG.

[SoCalBronco]

Kansas State 24 Miami 6 Halftime.

Actually, it could have been worse and the last few minutes were a net positive considering KSU flubbed that play on our goalline and we got some quick points. We get the ball in the 2nd half, we'll need a quick TD to have any hope of keeping it semi-competitive.

We won't be playing in a bowl this year even if we qualify. We'll self impose a bowl ban for the 2nd straight year from what I understand.

Wait till the NCAA drops the hammer.

And if what I heard is true, Shalala or whatever her name is, is going to start de-emphasizing sports and get The U back to their academic roots.

No, they aren't going to drop the hammer. We're hearing 12-15 ships and 2 bowls, less credit for time served (of which we've already served one and we're going to serve another, so no more bowl bans after this year).

Shalala is a huge supporter of the football program and has alot of political clout which is currently helping with the NCAA.

[SoCalBronco]

Yep that was definitely a horsecollar.

How many Lockett's are going to play at KSU?
