So if one year ago I wanted to wager that both Jim Tressel and Joe Paterno would be fired before this season's Penn State/Ohio State game, what kind odds do you think I could have gotten?

MrX · 11-18-11, 02:17 AM

The smoke is starting to get thicker around the Urban Meyer to Ohio St. rumors.

Tressel wasn't fired. He resigned.

Red Dog · 11-18-11, 08:57 AM

BCS to be only for 1, 2?

I've been expecting this to happen so the 4 big bowls aren't restricted from taking more than 2 teams from the glamor conferences. For all the talk about how the BCS isn't inclusive, etc, it's actually better for the Big East and Boises, BYUs, etc than a total discretionary bowl system.

No, he already bought a house near Penn State.

On only a somewhat less comical front, all of the ticketholders I know feel this is a foregone conclusion. We'll see.

MrX · 11-18-11, 08:08 PM

Sports by Brooks is saying Meyer has agreed to the job

The only thing that makes me question it is the part about Herbstreit being on his staff.

aktick · 11-18-11, 09:13 PM

Plus Spielman?

That just seems weird, to grab a couple of ESPN personalities...do either of them have any coaching experience?

MrX · 11-18-11, 09:49 PM

Oklahoma St only up 7 at the start of the 4th against Iowa St.

MrX · 11-18-11, 10:22 PM

Iowa St ties it up with 5 minutes left.

MrX · 11-18-11, 10:31 PM

Iowa St. throws the INT, gives OSU great field position.

MrX · 11-18-11, 10:34 PM

OSU misses the FG

MrX · 11-18-11, 10:38 PM

OT

OSU may win, but Weeden hurt his Heisman chances this game.

sleepyhead55 · 11-18-11, 10:40 PM

He's been off and I think their D didn't look that good.

Canadian Bacon · 11-18-11, 10:43 PM

Nice D

sleepyhead55 · 11-18-11, 10:44 PM

That dude was wide open in the flat for the easy TD for Iowa State.

shizawn · 11-18-11, 10:44 PM

Bwahaha. Nice D, Cowboys.

sleepyhead55 · 11-18-11, 10:47 PM

OK ST answers with a TD and the PAT

cardsfan111 · 11-18-11, 10:48 PM

Turned this on just in time to catch the last few minutes of regulation and now the OT(s). I've got to pull for the upset, but can't help but imagine how bad it would be for Oklahoma State to lose this game on the heels of that tragic plane crash.

MrX · 11-18-11, 10:49 PM

Canadian Bacon · 11-18-11, 10:49 PM

Picked off!!

sleepyhead55 · 11-18-11, 10:50 PM

INT by Weeden and OK St. Alabama and Oregon fans rejoice. All Iowa St. has to do is get a FG.

koops · 11-18-11, 10:51 PM

Come on chaos!!!!

koops · 11-18-11, 10:51 PM

Hello chaos!
