That the Bobcats stunk up the place so bad against Troy.  Other than Northwestern none of the Big 10, 11, 12 did all that well in their bowl games today either.

i was thinking the same thing yesterday watching the Big 10 crap on several fields. i did not expect Sparty to win,  but i thought they'd show up. I expected Northwestern to get smoked since they lost they quarterback. I thought JoePa had a chance and did if not for five thousand picks thrown by their QB.

I thought TCU could certainly hang with Wisconsin, but expected a shootout. I figured Michigan would get smoked. So i was not overly suprised by what i saw.

We'll see if OSU is for real, but i think the tatoo five should be sitting. what a joke the NCAA is.

I've known how worthless the NCAA is since the mid 1980s when i tried to get an all-star basketball game for high school seniors started and give out scholarships to players from the proceeds. my attempts to get NCAA approval proved impossible. no help was offered by the NCAA and they simply said it would ruin all the players' eligibility for college ball.

what a complete worthless joke. i really should stop watching the product they put out.

but that's another thread - sorry for the tangent.

No help was offered. What on earth did you expect? It's pretty cut and dry you can't do what you wanted to do. That's basically similar to giving HS players part of the home game gate money. Get real. NCAA does some weird things, but hate them for another reason instead of a far fetched dream scenario.

There are a couple of high school All-Star football games around here that give out scholarships. Those players still go on to play college football and there are no rules violations. There might be some manner that makes it OK. I'm not sure of the rules. It could be that the scholarships are not technically given out by the game sponsors or from the same funding source as the game, but several players in the game get scholarship money.

A team can win a game or two (Browns vs NE and NO by clicking on all cylinders and trickery) but you cannot win most of them and certainly not the big ones at the end of the year unless you win in the trenches. 

Wisconsin--offensive line supposedly among the best in the country grade in this game against TCU= "C-"  They opened lots of holes but couldn't protect the QB at all.
Ohio--offensive line grade vs Troy = "F-----" (not a four letter word but rather minuses)

Wisconsin--Defensive line--poor tackling and never layed a glove on TCU QB--grade = D
Ohio--Defensive line--never were in the same zip code of laying a glove on the QB--grade= "F" but no minuses. 

These games were similar in that both TCU and Troy hit slants and the difference was Troy's receivers went yard after short catches and Wisconsin better contained TCU.

You could put Wisconsin's QB in the Bobcat backfield against Troy and he would have produced no marginal improvement over what our QB's produced because  none would have had time to consider looking at a first receiver let alone a second who may have been open before they were peeling themselves off the ground.

Kent and Troy won in the trenches (Kent only won the defensive trench but that was all they needed)  Time to upgrade both lines and have them show up every play.  Bring that pressure--hurried passes, batted down balls, helmets to the QB ribs and see how successfully the opposition moves it up the field and how many more pics and fumbles are recovered.  No pressure and they move it when and how they'd like--like Troy.

Monroe Classmate notice the same thing I did.  Every team I saw defended the short slant much better than we did (way fewer yards after catch and no TD's).  Still can't really figure out what happened to us other than getting beat to the inside and nobody around to stop the yards after.  Maybe over the winter I'll look at the tape of the game (can you believe I taped/kept it)...on second thought, I doubt it.
