Week 10 Saturday games have already kicked off, so let's just cut to the chase. Some exciting and not-so-exciting games last week. Somebody must have put something in the water supply, because players and fans from several schools were on anything but their best behavior over the past week. I could write pages on the Bulldogs' Cocktail Party touchdown celebration or the frat party in State College. But I won't, mainly because everybody coming to this site via the tubes and the eBays and the internets is in search of Erin Andrews or Jenn Sterger.
Surprisingly, no photos of either this week. So read on, loyal reader readers? Let's start off with the good. Trinity Tigers vs. Millsaps Majors. Trinity with the ball down by two with on the clock. Then, a Benny Hill skit breaks out. Surprisingly, the band was not out on the field. Final score: Trinity 28 - Millsaps Ryan led the Eagles back from a deficit to a victory, highlighted by a 3rd and forever touchdown pass to take the lead with time winding down.
But hey, at least Virginia Tech won something. Since Coach ManBoobs was forced to not necessarily greener pastures at FSU, I don't have anything of comedic value to add about this game. Big 11 Penn State's "white out" served as a rather symbolic prime-time surrender flag for the beating handed down by the Buckeyes. It's been awhile. One of the reasons this post is coming so late in the week is the inordinate amount of time I spent searching for a photo of the PSU student dressed up as Count von Count from Sesame Street.
I was, ashamedly, unsuccessful in my attempts to locate a picture. As electric as the atmosphere was inside the stadium, the happenings outside the stadium were bush league. Little Mr. BamaBangs from Pittsburgh was eventually cited for disorderly conduct and the fraternity is likely on some sort of double secret probation. In happier news for me, at least , the Illinois is now bowl eligible.
That deserves a Wooooooooooooooooooooooo! The Illini defeated Ball State by a tally, thanks in large part to yards rushing by Rashard Fumblehall nickname is back after he coughed one up this weekend. Wisconsin downed Indiana in workmanlike fashion. Great for Badger fans, blah for everyone else. Michigan rumbled a victory over hapless Minnesota at the Big House under the watchful eyes of Mini-Me. Next up for the Wolverines is a rivalry game against Sparty in East Lansing. Big 12 Nebraska found a new and exciting way to lose in Austin last week.
