NFL/NCAA (American Football)

Looking forward to the NCAA matchup in East Lansing this week - we haven't beaten the Spartans in EL since 2007, so it's time to bring Paul home

A few decent matchups this weekend:

Alabama @ Ole Miss, Oklahoma State @ Texas and Ohio State @ Illinois are also quite eye-catching fixtures.

[Sylar]

Superb opening drive, followed by an awful defensive outing and poor second offensive drive has the game in East Lansing tied at 7-7, with the wind playing havoc with our offense this quarter!

Not having a great feeling about today, despite a decent start for RB Vincent Smith and Shoelace.

We just can't employ our passing game on account of the conditions in this quarter.

just back from the hibs game, fingers crossed its a good one

[Sylar]

Have to tip my cap to the Spartans defense. They're just better than us.

14-7 MSU - failing to do anything with the fumble recovery was poor. Can't understand why Hoke is sporadically leaving Robinson out in favour of Gardener - it's not working!!!

[Sylar]

(Another) shocking call from the officials - that was a clear fumble, but they deemed it a forward, incomplete pass! Bull**** call!

We had 2 officials for their second TD who disagreed it was a TD (one called it, one called it out of bounds) and they didn't even review it!

[Sylar]

Ugh - I can whinge about officials all I like, but we weren't good enough to get past a very solid looking Michigan State D.

#4 Wisconsin 59-7 Indiana
# 23 Michigan State 28-14 #11 Michigan
#21 Texas A&M 55-28 #20 Baylor
#15 South Carolina 14-12 Mississippi State
#1 LSU 38-7 Tennessee
#6 Oklahoma State 38-26 #22 Texas
Ohio State 17-6 #16 Illinois (should see OSU return to the rankings)
Connecticut 16-10 South Florida (yesterday wasn't all a disaster! )
#2 Alabama 52-7 Ole Miss
#5 Boise State 63-13 Colorado State
#19 Virginia Tech 38-17 Wake Forest
#8 Clemson 56-45 Maryland
#17 Kansas State 41-34 Texas Tech
#24 Auburn 17-6 Florida
#7 Stanford 44-14 Washington State
#3 Oklahoma 47-17 Kansas
#9 Oregon 41-27 #18 Arizona State

[Gatecrasher]

I enjoyed the osu @ Texas game last night.

Some interesting scores developing thus far:

Buffalo Bills 24-27 New York Giants (Final)
Carolina Panthers 17-31 Atlanta Falcons (Final)
Jacksonville Jaguars 13-15 Pittsburgh Steelers (Final)
San Francisco 49'ers 22-19 Detroit Lions
Philadelphia Eagles 20-13 Washington Redskins (Final)
St Louis Rams 3-24 Green Bay Packers (Final)
Dallas Cowgirls 0-3 New England Patriots
Houston Texans 0-7 Baltimore Ravens
New Orleans Saints 0-0 Tampa Bay Bucs
Cleveland Browns 0-7 Oakland Raiders

Can't remember the last time I was happy to see a NYC team winning! Bills halted at 4-2 and a great chance for the Patriots to go top of the AFC East!

Philadelphia Eagles 20-13 Washington Redskins (Final)
St Louis Rams 3-24 Green Bay Packers (Final)
Dallas Cowgirls 3-3 New England Patriots (this game has been turnover central thus far!)
Houston Texans 0-7 Baltimore Ravens
New Orleans Saints 7-3 Tampa Bay Bucs
Cleveland Browns 0-7 Oakland Raiders

Sean Payton has taken a sore one, after one of his receivers clattered into him at the sideline, into the outside of his knee.

I'm f***ing despairing at how bad our handling has been! 2 fumbles and an interception for us, and a fumble and interception for Dallas.

[Calvin]

So the Giants can beat the Bills but not the mighty Seahawks? Enjoying the Seahawks' bye-week, it means I can watch Redzone in peace without having to stress every time they cut to our match!

San Fran eek out another 3 points - bye bye Detroit's unbeaten record.

Cowboys - Patriots. Ugh, shame they both can't lose

Shame the Lions record had to come to an end - they'd played some superb football thus far - shame they didn't show the same fight on the pitch as they did after the final.

ANOTHER fumble in the Patriots - Cowboys game, this time to our benefit.

And then the Cowboys come right back and stop us again! Who'd have thunk this would end up as a defensive battle!

another Sunday without a Jets win Hopefully the Dolphins can bounce back tomorrow - that would make this weekend a bit better!

I like to think of it as a Sunday without a Jets loss

[Sylar]

What.A.Return from Jacoby Ford in the Raiders vs Browns game - 101 yards KO return.

[Sylar]

Poor, poor, poor...

Looks like the 30 point+ run is doomed to end today.

[Sylar]

TD Patriots, Brady to Welker, following a good challenge from BB.

10-3

[Haymaker]

20-16 to the Patriots... Take that!

[Gatecrasher]

I was knackered last night so only saw about half way into the later games.

6-0 Pack! The D Needs to get their act together though

In other college sports news the basketball coaches poll has been released and North Carolina are number 1. Kentucky are number 2 and are bringing in 4 Mcdonalds All Americans in this recruiting class. Wonder how much Calipari pays them

11 votes for SJU - pleasantly surprised at that, don't rate our chances with such a young team which has lost 3 big recruits for the first term already. We do however have a player called God's Gift though so perhaps we'll get some devine assistance.

That's exactly it, didn't meet the minimum requirement set so are back at prep school for this semester. One of them, Jakaar Sampson, confirmed he wants to play come December if possible. The other two look likely to open up their recruitment options for next year. Real shame as it was the third highest ranked recruiting class in the country after Kentucky and Duke.

LSU looking very comfortable against Auburn. The Tigers are yet again looking like the real deal and I'll be amazed if they don't make the BCS game.

I'm a wee bit scunnered this week - bye weeks for both the Wolverines and Patriots.

Looking forward to the Bucs vs Bears game from Wembley tomorrow though.

Never mind all that, why you still got that kite as your avatar? A bets a bet but your taking it a bit far .

Any hows, been on my holidays (again) so haven't been on but nice to see the Buckeyes getting their act back together. That's what happens when you start to get your starters back . Big shout out for Herron. Really struggled with our QB's since Pryor and still not sold on Miller but getting the running game up and running will help. Not at all happy with the whole Posey carry on. Their tacking it a bit far if you ask me. Still he should be back for the game against the *********. Got Wisconsin next week and anyone not tuned into NCAA should have a look, the whole Scarlet theme is amazing .
