My wife went to school with Bullough's father at MSU. They were even in the same dorm. Of course, I had to remind her how old that made her....:fear::kiss::laugh:

If Les Miles was the coach of MSU, he would have suspended him after the game or had a team vote. :)

Good that a coach has some integrity.

Perfect Season (check)
Heisman winner (check)
Best kicker in the land (check) (has single handedly (footedly?) outscored all of our opponents combined)
National Championship game (check)
Favored by all sports books (check)
Double Digit Margins of victory in every game (check)
Best defense in the land (check)
Innate hatred for any and all combinations of the colors Blue and Orange (check)

Mmmmmmmmm.........I smell roasted war eagles, or is it warm eagle, or is it a tiger, or is it a plainsman? Who knows, who cares? Just the final step to complete domination.......As it should be ;)

GO NOLES!!!!

That's usually Dantonio's pattern so the assumption around here is that upstairs took it out of his hands. If it ws really severe he might suspend him for the first series.

Well, I'm now 4 for 10 in the Bowl extravaganza. At least Marshall won. Picked Washington over BYU. I'm confident Wash will get hammered.

Can WIM make it 3 of 4 for the players to be the sole selector of a team? hutSpikes did well with Pitt and Bruce with Utah State. :)

Only a 7 point game at this time....

Mn blew it giving up a big run back towards the end. Mn had a decent team this year. I thought they were going to pull it off. My guesses aren't panning out........ Looks like Bruce did his homework....

Fair amount of close games....

Some very close and very entertaining games. Musky and I have been on the wrong side of most scores, but the BYU/Washington game will bring separation at the bottom! LOL!

Bruce appears to be dialed in but I expect him to lose 1 or 2 that others win. (Or not)

The beauty of college football! Close games and underdogs prevailing.

That's ok, when I win and "everyone" else loses, I'll feel a "little" better..... :)

On that note, BYU is going to do their best to help Washington win......:facepalm:

I need to stick to pickin' the pros......:D

I was surprised I was the only one to pick Utah St to win. Northern Illinois didn't play a tough schedule and Utah St was also favored by 2 points!

Same thoughts. Bookie odds are to manipulate the betting so they minimize payouts.

Yep, they lowered the line to try to get more money on NI. I though it was funny thought that when you clicked on ESPN's poll on who would win, NI had a huge lead. Apparently, most people never saw Utah State play. I watched them play Southern Cal pretty tough.

Not to derail but Bobby Bowden lost a grandson a couple of days ago. Sad this is the second one.
