Doesn't look like it. And I wish ABC would switch away from the beatdown Ohio State is handing to Northwestern.

Nope. I am not a fan of MSU at all, but I'm impressed that they are doing this well so far especially after how bad they did last season.

Cowboys and Bears tommorrow night.....Can't wait!


I don't know what to think of my dear Cowboys. We've scored and given up tons of points against two 0-2 teams, while having a coach that is known for his defensive schemes. But you can't argue with a 2-0 record..

The Cowboys look like the real deal. The offense is very good and I think Tony Romo has been a real find. The game with the Bears should be a real test, though. If the Cowboys can put up a lot of points on that Defense, they will cause a lot of problems for a lot of teams this year. As a Skins fan, I personally hope the Bears squash them. :)

Yes, I want to see how much of a team player TO is after a few losses. ;)

Worst 2nd half of football, ever. And the worst part was - they came just close enough to finally tying it up that I actually watched it until the end. *sigh*.

That was the wildest day of college football in a long time, #'s 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 11 and 13 (okay #5 lost on Friday) all losing. That has to turn the rankings upside down. 8| It's one reason I like the college game more than the NFL. :D

Well, the Lions aren't bad this year, but geez the Bears look horrible. I know the defense is banged up, but at least in previous years the Bears have been able to control the game with their running game.

I don't think Benson is ready for the full workload just yet, and Peterson and Wolfe look terrible when they spell him.

The schedule has been a little difficult, but it's not going to get much easier for the Bears if they don't turn it around.

The announcers didn't even make the required Sid Luckman reference.
And it's hard to judge Wolfe on three regular season carries.
