Cheers - to the best Saturday of College Football in recent memory

Submitted by lhglrkwg on

What a great day of football. It's rare anymore that I can park on the couch at noon and be content to sit here till midnight watching football but here I've sat from the end of gameday till now because it felt like there was constant flow of 2-3 great games going at a time

MSU upsetting PSU on a FG as time expired...Bedlam going into an absolute shootout and still manging to come down to the last minute...Iowa absolutely destroying OSU in a Kinnick classic...NC State and Clemson going down to the wire...the entire SEC looking awful today...four top 25 matchups so far and now three consecutive top 25 matchups to wrap up the night

This is why we love college football. Don't tell me I was the only one who loved the whole day from start to finish.

Anyone being happy with an MSU win today??? You obviously do not live in Michigan if you are happy that those arrogant pieces of shit won today!! F MSU!! That really soured my day when those assholes pulled out that win!

Next week they will get crushed by OSU. That is 3 losses. Penn state cant say anything about us now and with Wisky and OSU in front of us we can be the best of the conference in 3 weeks. Seems like the best case scenario so far. Everyone is on an equal playing field now.

MSU is my second favorite team and PSU is my least favorite, especially in the east/midwest.

And I like college football better when OSU and ND are top programs because I'm a fan of mid west football above all.

The only teams I really dislike are the LA teams since those clowns don't really follow sports, they wear the "hot team" like a new outfit.

Sparty besting Penn State is a nightmare scenario. I shake my damn head to every Wolverine fan that thinks that’s a good scenario. Jeeebus Christ. They should be awful, they are not. They are in the Big10 race, which is bad if Mork can do this w/ the least talented team in E Lansing in yrs. They beat us this year, they are the sworn in state rival, this threatens upcoming in-state recruiting, makes a mockery of Harbaugh considering our score vs psu. Stop it!

It’s mind boggling to me that any Michigan fan is happy with that outcome in East Landfill today!! One of our main rivals that can make the biggest impact on our in state recruiting has a marquee win today that could pave the way to another Big 10 Championship for them is a good thing?!?!!? Sorry that makes no sense whatsoever!!!

Wasn't sure who I wanted to win PSU/MSU.  PSU is worse because , well, we all know, but MSU continually squeaking past teams is getting annoying.

Became an Iowa fan today.   Checked on the score as I was leaving work and was stunned for a moment.

Thug Rose beat JJ, so it wasn't a perfect day.

i never would have thought at this point in the season, Michigan, Michigan state, Pennsylvania state and Ohio state would all be 7-2. I really like us to possibly win out! Wisconsin seems scarier than OSU right?

PSU or MSU is a tough call. My dream is for OSU to curb stomp MSU to shut them up and for us to beat Ohio. As an aside, why does MSU seem to have the football gods on their side? Obviously can't know for sure but in both our game and the PSU games the weather seemed to really help them. Not to mention scheduling. MSU got PSU at home after PSU played emotional games the two previous weeks against us and away at OSU in a pretty tough loss.

4 way tie assuming OUS beats MSU and we beat OSU. As long as all others involved win the rest of their games it would be a 4 way tie, between Penn State, OSU, MSU, and us with every team holding at least one head to head win against one of the four.

Good to see people going out and doing what they're supposed to do - play football. And these kids aren't even getting paid like the crybabies in the NFL. I know last year a couple of college kids "protested" but nothing like the scale of the NFL. I have to admit I've been turned off by the NFL this year. It's no longer a priority for me on Sundays.

Oooh boy. If they choose to protest, its their right, is it not? What these 'crybabies' in the NFL are protesting seems like a worthy cause to me. And its their right too. And I think they've been pretty respectful in doing so and have brought attention to a major problem affecting our society and our democracy. To tell you the truth, I would actually like to see more protests at the college level.  The NFL has turned me off the last few years because it sucks. Sorry - this comment seemed so out of left field I had to say something.

I wanted to encourage anyone who hadn't watched the Iowa victory over Ohio State to check it out.  It was nothing like the game the Hawkeyes stole from us last year.  They destroyed Ohio State.  Seriously, please go look at the highlights, if only to see the 3rd Quarter fake field goal.  It was the most un-Ferentz thing I have ever seen from Iowa.

Well, Iowa doesn't play Michigan this year so Ferentz could save his one interesting game for Ohio State. Kinda like how Franklin has done the one thing that matters, beaten Michigan, so now can go back to shitting the bed.

Brian usually mentions the deal Ferentz made with Satan or some gypsy for decades of 8-4 in exchange for one awesome night game upset of a B1G/national title contender each season. Gotta say that gypsy is pretty good at holding up her end of the bargain,

Kinnick needs a nickname. I'm partial to Iowa because of my girlfriend's family , which made Saturday extra great but holy smokes is that a tough place to play.

I don't know. Iowa and MSU with the huge upsets were little more than yet another reminder we're 3/4 of the way through Harbaugh's third season and Michigan still doesn't have that signature win.
