9/20/2008 9:37:49 PM

i like this a lot more than your asu schtick.

9/20/2008 9:44:39 PM

i see big things this year!

Sutton for Heisman!



(I actually have a good reason for cheering for NU. Mom's alma mater)

9/20/2008 9:46:51 PM

do any of your other family members have alma maters we should know about? i need to know who to root for on thursdays and saturdays

9/20/2008 9:57:32 PM

Culinary Institute of America, UNCG and UNCW don't have football programs

Oklahoma State has never appealed to me

and I don't think anybody would ever give a shit about Western Illinois


so we'll just stick to Northwestern

9/20/2008 10:01:44 PM

Washington is a team I expect to give the pac10 trouble in the dark horse.

9/20/2008 10:20:58 PM

^ remind me to bet against wazzou for the rest of the season.

9/21/2008 12:03:46 AM

Vandy is 4-0 and has beaten much, much better teams

9/21/2008 12:05:03 AM

Vandy was not the worst combined BBall/Football program last year though.

9/21/2008 10:16:31 AM

yeah, NW did lose to duke last year...

9/21/2008 12:09:07 PM

Does Northwestern still have Darnell Autry?

9/21/2008 1:06:08 PM

no, they have Tyrell Sutton and Omar Conteh



I miss Autry...too bad he never paned out in the NFL

9/21/2008 1:25:04 PM

Castillo banged up for the Chargers

9/22/2008 9:41:42 PM

Hahaha they might actually beat Michigan this year.

9/23/2008 11:54:36 AM

9/27/2008 8:15:49 PM

9/27/2008 8:53:06 PM

9/28/2008 11:11:32 PM

this season could end with both penn state and northwestern undefeated!

9/28/2008 11:34:04 PM

so, what's the scoop on Michigan State this year?

i haven't seen them play yet

10/3/2008 2:36:19 PM

worried about this game

rankings are the devil

10/8/2008 2:48:23 PM

'others receiving votes' is not a ranking.

10/8/2008 3:09:32 PM

#22 in the USA Today poll

10/8/2008 3:30:25 PM

10/11/2008 3:43:41 PM
