Weekend Wrap Up

Hey Folks, after a long day of college football here is the wrap up. Of course my beloved Boilermakers were dealt their first loss of the year today at Notre Dame 35-21, however Boiler Nation comes away feeling pretty good about the game, or at least as good as you can in a loss. We out gained the Irish yardage wise, Painter had more passing yards then Quinn, just didn't lead on the all important category the scoreboard. We are VERY young and this was a game that could have gotten ugly, but we held strong and actually had tons of chances in this one. Some key mistakes at key times killed us, and a huge downpour right when we get first and goal didn't help either. Too many dropped passes, and too many bad penalties all add up to a loss. We made progess though, and Notre Dame couldn't stop our offense we stopped ourselves. How about Freshman(soph) receiver Lymon breaking a record for most yards by an opponent against Notre Dame with 238 yards. Couple of notes, Lou Holtz is an idiot and has no business commentating for ESPN, The refs today were absolutely horrible missing several key calls while making several horrible calls(I knew we'd get homered but never thought it'd be that bad). and Notre Dame's defense is absolutely horrible!

Not all games are complete but here are the standings on the pick em, with Washington/UA still going on and the Monday night game with the eagles. I have someone in mind for next week I will email her and see if she wants to do it.

PHATS = 5 WOOHOO's 4 D'oh's(not very good this week) 27-11 overall after 4 weeks
Cheryl = 5 WOOHOO's 3 D'oh's 1 WTF
Gary = 4 WOOHOO's 5 D'oh's
Looks like Cheryl will win bragging rights in the battle between hubby and wife, with both picking UW and the Eagles. Thank you both for participating you guys are awesome.

Some observations from blogger teams
Great win for Jef and Fuzz's Texas Tech Red Raiders, what a great catch to win it, exciting! Might have saved your season. I am not so sure about your coach though saw him interviewed and he acted like you all lost wtf? Kayla, WOOHOO GO BLAZERS!! I am glad they won, and I am glad I was wrong they have had a tough schedule and deserved this big win, keep'er rolling. Design Goddes, I am forced to eat humble pie again, KSU is playing great a MAC title perhaps?? Go Golden Flashes! Shife, what's up with the Vandals man? They are on a roll going for a bowl bid? Cheryl and Gary what a tough loss again, you guys were right there, and that score was not nearly as close as the game. I was flipping back and forth when our game was in timeouts. I did all the Alabama cheers, and I wish it would have helped them. The big win of the day though goes to Ohio State for thumping Iowa in Iowa City, it was no contest. Can you imagine if OSU and UM win out and set up a date in Columbus to see who goes to the national title game WOW! We have Iowa next week, I hope they have an OSU hangover haha :)

I was really bad in forgetting someone's birthday on here, someone who is really cool. So, I am taking this opportunity as well to try and make it up to her! everyone wish Beading a belated happy birthday, everyone ready to sing?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,
