Just pointing this out.  I started the Purdue game thread.  I started this game thread.  

unfortunately, I'm out of town Saturday and won't be able to start the Maryland thread.  

So don't wait until Saturday to start it!

The knock on Bieniemy I think is that Reid calls most of the plays. I know that did not stop the Eagles from getting Siriani but I think it hurts EB

That's part of that.  He also doesn't do the game planning.  Reid does that too.  I've also heard Bieniemy is terrible in interviews.  Can't say that is accurate...just what I've heard.

Plays at Warren Central.  He is apparently visiting this weekend.  6'4, 200.  Has offers from Pitt and the PUkes.

He's in my 'First Four Out' when ranking the 68 most knowledgeable bracketologists (out of a pool of 72).  

Ha!  Love this!  FWIW, he has us as an 8 seed today.

One of the guys in the studio last night said one of the dumbest things I have ever heard.  He said maybe Woodson left TJD out of the game was to see how the team would with out him.

That was Demps.  

Last I saw Palm (CBS) had us in the first four out.

I know R.Davis is a purdue grad and isnt very smart, but was he watching a different game than the rest of us.

And one of the guys in the studio said JG is a 5.  Huh?

After that OT game v those people in the stinky place, maybe a pause is a good thing...rest up and get a little healthier.

Did I see correctly that our game against MSU on Wednesday has been postponed?

Sean Miller to Butler...

They’d have to be pretty desperate to hire that guy.

'Nova beats Butler by 40...

Butler’s worst loss since ‘94.  Barry Collier went all in on a Butler guy to keep that so called Butler Way thing going and it has backfired big time.

We are missing two starters today.

Dan Marino is indeed one.  And the other is no old timer.

Andrew Luck?

My sources have not been exactly correct on this as things keep changing.  I think it's fair to say that this has all been much more fluid than I was led to believe.  Too scared isn't correct.  I'm now being told there is a good chance this isn't over.  We will see if that turns out to be accurate or not.  

@btownqb do you have any thoughts about the DL hire?  Sorry if I missed it elsewhere.

I've never seen him play. To be so highly evaluated coming out of HS he had to have the tools. Are you saying even in HS or just when he arrived in college? I'm assuming then he is not an option for us by what people are saying.

I didn't think he was coming out of high school.  I saw Rex Grossman play a lot and I didn't think Johnson was nearly as good as Grossman.  Just one comparison (and just one opinion) on two players as they came out of high school and left the state to go to two excellent programs.  I feel bad for him.  Maybe he can land at a MAC school or something and leave college on a real positive note.

I have just been told that. I am not close to the situation. 

Same with me.

I believe, his red flag was his father telling him how great he is. 

Yeah, that's a fair point.

Just now, dgambill said:

Went from day 1 starter and team captain....to basically not playing all year?? Geez...sounds like there had to be some red flags there....obviously uber talented HS kid here in the state.

Just my opinion, of course, but he was never going to play at Clemson.  He was getting some bad advice with that one.  Out of high school, I thought he would be a great fit at a place like IU, Purdue, or Northwestern.  Obviously, he just wasn't good enough.  I've never heard anything about red flags with him.  I just think he wasn't as good as some thought he would be.

Undefeated USC goes down!

Down goes Duke.

With classes starting this week is it fair to say IU is done w the transfers?  Are there any other names floating around?

I am assuming Tressel would not be an option at this point?  That ship has sailed kind of thing?

It's already starting to set in for me. We have a very lame resumé and we've lost our most significant games. Maybe we still make the NCAA's but I doubt it. Seems like no matter how many times we change coaches, the results just don't improve. This program is broken and I'm not sure how it ever gets fixed. 

Sadly, I feel the same way.
