In case you didn't watch the Houston/Marshall game last night, and you probably didn't, you missed Houston wide receiver Patrick Edwards get Theismann'd by some band equipment.

I heard about that on Rome earlier today and was wondering what the hell he meant by the "yellow band carts"

 

Now that I've seen that, fuckin ouch, poor guy...

There's an article on ESPN about it, the university is paying for his full medical expenses and UH has tried to get in contact with the C-USA official's but I don't think they've gotten word back from them yet, as it was the crew's job to make sure the field was clear and safe for play.

Just a reminder that ESPN2 has a hallmark I-AA contest tonight.

 

Sports Network has Wofford ranked #3 and App State at #2. This game is more important to Widmyer/Strickland as both are Seniors and could impress NFL scouts with a big showing.

 

Who To Watch For

Wofford

- QB Ben Widmyer: Completing 68.8% of his passes with 7 TD vs. 0 INT. Also has a 6.7 YPC and 6 rushing TD.

- WR Andy Strickland: Has 5 receiving TD with a 19.8 YPR.

 

Appalachian State

- QB Armanti Edwards: Completing only 59.2% of his passes but has 15 TD vs. 2 INT along with 8 rushing TD.

- RB Devin Radford: Big play threat! Has a 7.2 YPC with 3 rushing TD and on 5 catches he's averaging 35.6 YPR.

- RB Robert Welton: Has a 6.7 YPC and 7 rushing TD despite being third on the team in carries.

Purdue with the hook and ladder with 25 seconds to go to take a 48-42 lead on Michigan! Mediocrity of the two teams aside, this has been an amazing game.

 

And Michigan's bowl streak is officially over.

No close game in Lawrence, where KU is smothering K-State worse than Mangina will be smothering his turkey this Thanksgiving

 

...

 

Obvious cheap shots aside, this makes three straight years Prince has been unable to beat KU, and more than likely he'll round up another set of losses to Nebraska and Missouri. Really, if it wasn't for the two wins over Texas, he would have fucking nothing to show for his three years here. Unfortunately his contract extension lasts until 2012, which means they'll likely have to pay him to go away by 2010.

Ouch, real tough call for Georgia there, Tebow was clearly down before the first down line.

 

Edit: One real terrible call and another pretty bad call leads to points for Florida which is very disappointing, I'd like to see this game settled on the field.

Not that it mattered, but that was a pretty horrible spot after the 3rd down play. It looked like Tebow was within a foot of the goal line.

 

 

I couldn't believe that shit. Then they even refused to measure to see if it was a 1st down.

Not that anyone thought Tulsa would get into a BCS bowl, but any chance had has gone out the the window as they lose to Arkansas 30-23.

YES!!!! Now Utah and Boise State need to lose.

 

 

And great pick taken back to the 1 and Tebow runs it in for the TD.

Last season it seemed every big game in the SEC would turn into an instant classic and this year it seems like everyone turns into a complete dud.
