Purdue "won't be competitive" against UM at home? Surely, you jest.

Let's see UM beat ND first before you start crowing.

Also, Travis, I don't see how you can root for Miami... I mean, I know your sex life depends on it, but STILL.

Oh, also, we don't like to storm places.... we prefer lobbing grenades from afar.

And Purdue STILL won't be competitive against them...

And Purdue STILL won't be competitive against them. What does that have to do with what I said?

Oh yeah, nothing.

What's with randomly inserting a diatribe about Michigan's season into the post when you do no such thing for any other team?

Sounds like someone has a bit of an inferiority complex.

Captain,

We're hoping as well. If not, we have plenty of rum to make a codolence Hurricane

das metzger,

I knew Ohio State had some insanely long streak like that. Thanks for the research!

Miami 24 Florida 23?! I guess you know where your bread is buttered, huh T-Mill? Way to score points w/ Mrs. T-Mill; I hope your prediction comes true... it's unlikely to happen, but it would be nice to see.

I know that you expect a better decision-making process from a quarterback, but hang in there with Robert Marve, it's doubtful he will make the same mistake again. You and Mrs. T-Mill will, in short time, come to appreciate his on-field leadership qualities along with his playing skills.

Great run down of this week's conference action. These posts are a real service to football fans of the more casual type, such as myself (meaning I wear sweat pants when I watch the games).

One meager request: Any way we can get times and TV coverage information for each game in the future?

Cheers.
