Scholarly Tackle Football

Sunday September 9, 7:06 am NPT

Pitt just ran out of time. Good win for PSU and the B1G. Another bad loss for the ACC.

UK BEAT FU, C? 27-16 after 31 consecutive losses! At #25 FU, too! Congratulations to Kentucky!

The game got away from UConn, it did. The "Broncos" bucked them all up 62-7. May be time to discontinue Edsel.

#2 Dabo Swinney eked out a 28-26 win over Jimbo Fisher in College Station. Good win for the ACC over the SEC.

HERM EDWARDS got a huge win over #15 East Lansing Spartak 16-13 in the desert. Which is a BIG win for the PAC 12 and a BAD loss for the B1G.

10:41 pm

Paterno-Sandusky leads my Beloved Pitt Panthers 14-6 with 10' left in the 3Q.

KENTUCKY is up on Florida University 21-10 with 1:13 left in the third. 31 straight wins I think it is by FU over UK...21-6 PSU over the Beloveds now.

The 10th ranked Trees are beating #17 Southern Cal 14-0 at the half and that's the first time USC has been shut out in a half since...Oh, that post on ESPN is now down. Been awhile I take it.

The Lakers (#8) "held off" Ball State 24-16. One should not have to "hold off" Ball State.

Oh Jeez, Miami beat Savannah State 77-0. Make you feel better after getting humiliated by LSU, 'Canes? Hope not.

Finally, me thinks this is it for me tonight, I will be interested in finding out (tomorrow) how UConn fared against #20 Boise State...Now it's 23-6 the Pedo Bear Moonies. Um, Pitt...No major college program got hosed by conference realignment like UConn did. They recycled Randy Edsel, who had left the school after the Fiesta Bowl to take his dream job at...Maryland (Maryland was not then, has never been and never will be anybody's "dream job.") Edsel's dream turned into Edsel's nightmare and he was canned after, I don't know, three or four years. And UConn took him back! The "Huskies" were 3-9 in the first year of Edsel's reincarnation in Storrs. They got destroyed last week at home by #21 UCF 56-17. #21 and #20: lotta teams gonna get beat by #21 and #20. But 56-17 at home? Boise leads 3-0 about half way through the first. Not bad for UConn. That does not extrapolate out to 56-17. This game is on blue turf. If UConn can keep the score respectable: that's progress. But if they pull another El Foldo and get waxed again...and if it's another non-competitive season for them, I don't know, UConn just may be inclined to pull the plug on the whole tackle football thing. There's been talk of that before, of dropping down to the "Championship" division. What a precipitous free-fall it has been. And may continue to be.

Good night.

7:19 pm


Oy vey. Colorado scored--a touchdown--Nebraska got the ball back, got down to the CU 20 and were stopped on downs. Colorado beats Nebraska in Lincoln 33-28 spoiling Scott Frost's debut as Husker's coach.

7:11 pm

Bosnia & Herzegovina beat Northern Ireland 2-1. How is it fair for two countries to play against half of one? Damn cheaters.

7:04 pm

Oh jeezus, Colorado with the ball at midfield with 1:18 to go trailing Fauxpelini 28-27.

Oh my gosh, East Carolina is blowing out North Carolina 41-19 with 4 1/2 left in the game. Bad loss for the ACC.

Ohio State laid half a hundred on Ruptures who got three back. Bad addition to the B1G, Ruptures. Subtraction by addition.

5:30 pm

Ohio State only scored five times in the whole first half :o

3:50 pm

Ohio State hasn't scored in almost three minutes against Ruptures.

Ooh, Colorado has struck first against Nebraska. Fauxpelini is sad.

Eastern Michigan beat Frank Perdue 20-19. Bad loss for the B1G.

Dook beat Northwestern 21-7 at NW. Good win for the ACC.

South Florida beat Georgia Wreck 49-38 in Tampa. The Rambling Yellow Jackets need to stand closer to that man in green with the amazingly short torso in order to tackle him.


Bad loss for the ACC.

2:50 pm

Professor Chip Kelly is enduring a difficult first semester at the University of California at LaLa. The Powder Blues lost to Cincinnati last week and this week in Norman, Oklahoma is making like Norman Bates on their asses. It's 21-7 at the half.

Hairy Boner. Jeez, Hairy Boner. The "Mildcats" lost to BYWho last week and today are getting crushed by Houston 38-3. Still 1:53 left in the third, though.

Basically the PAC12 conference blows.
