Around SBN: Miikka Kiprusoff Wins 300th Game, Buffalo Crushes Boston

BN Gameday: Arizona State Pre-game Thread

Photo Credit: Telemachus

Here is to Logan Paulsen rumbling into the end zone.

We have less than two hours till our kickoff. The game is a nationally televised one on FSN (Prime Ticket in Los Angeles). We are going to have suffer through with Barry Tompkins and Michael Eaves. Have to say though I am actually interested iin hearing from Petro who will be doing color for this game. I generally like his commentary even though he has his Trojan moments.

As for games around the country obviously the topline game this afternoon is taking place right now in the Big House. The Wolverines are battling against the Buckeyes and showing a little bit of fight (down 10-21). Also, interesting score out of Miami where the Hurricanes are down 13-16 to the Duke Bluedevils. Yes, the Blue Devils can become "bowl eligible" with a victory in this game. Full scoreboard over here.

So if you are watching other games this am, share your quick takes, observations or pre game nervous musings, here is our open thread. As always don't forget to get your guesses in. We will close that thread when our game thread goes up (around 12:45 pm PST).

GO BRUINS.

The U's fanbase is pathetic . . .

. . . they are (allegedly) #20 and the stadium is empty. They just showed a lower corner of the endzone shot and there was nobody there.

There is a dearth of good games today.

The SEC is playing creampuffs.
Michigan Ohio State has lost some luster.
Thank God for the Pac 10!!

Florida State is about to spit the bit . . .

. . . against Maryland while wearing Oregon-esque hideous “alternative” Nike uniforms. Yuck! If FSU doesn’t pull this one out they have to beat the Gators next week to be bowl eligible. It could be the first time FSU missed a bowl in a loooooong time.

by orlandobruin on Nov 21, 2009 11:50 AM PST reply actions  

FSU won, 29-26 . . .

. . . after a Cal / Stanford ’82 lateral fest at the end of the game by Maryland feel about 35 yards short.

Maryland

I believe that’s the first time in program history they posted a 10 L season. Ralph Friedgen was a “rising coach” just 4-5 years ago.

Petros

Hate to say it, but I kind of like Petros when he’s on TV. He generally keeps his USC bias in check.

In the OSU Michigan game . . .

. . . the announcers just commented about how RichRod berates Tate Forcier on the sidelines, how the local media is making a big story about it. Sound familiar?

Then they said that there are transfer rumors and how the Forcier family has a history of transferring QBs. LOL!

by orlandobruin on Nov 21, 2009 11:54 AM PST reply actions  

Yeah just heard that

Forciers have a history of … uh .. getting the word out to the media. Can’t count out Tate yet.

by Nestor on Nov 21, 2009 11:56 AM PST up reply actions  

Agreed on both counts.

I think Tate has the most talent of the 3.

Forcier

Is giving flashbacks of our game against ASU last year. Yikes.

by Nestor on Nov 21, 2009 11:58 AM PST reply actions  

Wow. Oklahoma getting blown out by Texas tech. 27-6.

Oklahoma’s retro uniforms make them look like Stanford, sans the “S” on the helmet. Bet Sooner fans wish they were playing like Stanford. Just goes to show how much a healthy QB matters.

by orlandobruin on Nov 21, 2009 12:03 PM PST reply actions  

Don't think so

but he is going to keep the QB competition “open” heading into spring training. Michigan closes the season losing 7 out of their last 8 games (after starting 4-0). Yikes.

by Nestor on Nov 21, 2009 12:16 PM PST up reply actions  

Losing 7 out of the final 8

Are you trying to minimize Big Blue’s dominating win over Delaware St? Just because they happen to be a mediocre 1-AA (FCS) team…

by bruinhoo on Nov 21, 2009 12:26 PM PST up reply actions  

Ha

Honestly … I feel bad for them. Have lot of good friends who went to Michigan and they are really miserable right now.

by Nestor on Nov 21, 2009 12:27 PM PST up reply actions  

The Big 10 is really down right now.

Not sure if, as a whole, that the conference has been as bad as they are now. IMO, a big part of that is UM’s struggles.

by orlandobruin on Nov 21, 2009 12:38 PM PST up reply actions  

Likewise

My uncle went to Michigan, and I do side with them in Big 10 play. Hate seeing what is happening to that team right now.

Our game on justin.tv

If ANYBODY knows where I can watch this game online, it would be greatly appreciated if you could reply to this post with a link. Cheers.

They changed they rules, right? If they teams submit it in writing to the NCAA that they wish to wear home jerseys, then it's OK?

I think that rule is just for us.

I think so

Haven’t done any thinking about next weekend’s game.

Hey Guys

Sorry I’m a little late. Just got back from Goodyear getting a new tire. Had to rplace a flat I got the other day. More $$ out the freaking nose.

Also, had to endure another sub-par performance from my alma mater, Iowa, again earlier today. They did win but looked like absolute sh** in beating Minnesota. They’re arguably the worst 10-2 team in America right now.

I feel good about our guys today. I just do.

Los Angeles Rams and the UCLA Bruins!!!!!

No, Not Yet

Thankfully. Pretty nice here today actually. Sunny, in the mid-50’s.
