Wisconsin 16, Penn State 3

Now normally I wouldn't even speak of the Big Ten, but I know Tom and Miguel are partial to them and when I saw the score I knew they would be hurting today. I think this paragraph covers everything that needs to be said on the subject really:

"The loss was costly for the Nittany Lions (2-2, 0-1), who lost their top two offensive weapons in the first quarter when quarterback Zack Mills injured his right shoulder on Penn State's first series and his replacement, multitalented Michael Robinson, suffered a concussion."

Ouch! That's actually worse than what happened to Alabama. Maybe next year guys, keep your chins up.

I KNEW you were going to post this - you stink! I don't feel so bad, because I think Wisconsin was ranked 20th or so. Our defense looked good. I just hope that Michael Robinson (our WR and backup QB) is okay. He's very talented.

If your defense was looking so good how did Wisconsin score so many points? ;) I'm just giving you a hard time. Considering that you guys lost both quarterbacks in the first quarter I'm willing to cut you a break this time. ;)

Gee thanks! I don't think that 16 points is too bad, actually. If Wisconsin had had 3 or more touchdowns, I would not have been happy. As it is, I'm only blah. :)

Sigh, it looks like our team is continuing it's losing ways. Thanks for rubbing it in! ;)

My boss is a Gator's fan and he told me that they had the same problem 5 or 6 years ago and they went on to a winning season. So maybe there is some hope for your team after all. Of course, Florida teams cheat a lot more than your average football teams, so it might not be as easy for Penn State to pull it off fairly.

Speaking of cheating...what was up with that horrible call in the 4th quarter of the Tennessee/Gator game?

I was asleep at the time, so I only know what was in the recap on Yahoo. What call? And was it for or against Florida, because determines how bad a call it was. ;)

They played Florida week before last. They played LaTech this weekend. We didn't watch either game.

It turns out that a Tennesse player slapped a Gator upside the head. Then the Gator retaliated and slapped the Tennessee player. One of the referees watched both players do this, but the Gators were the one who were penalized. This allowed Tennessee great field position for their last second field goal. It's a shame you didn't watch the game...it was a good game. :)
