At the time it was an out of nowhere team. Remember how everyone loved Boise St for a quick minute? Kansas, Wake Forest, and Texas Tech have all had moments in the sun and then faded back down.

Boise State had one of the greatest games in CFB history though.

When the dumbest guy on Earth is clowning you, it's a bad look. That being said, I hope Liberty gets utterly embarrassed.

Donald Trump believes that the human body has a finite amount of energy, like a battery, and when that energy runs out, you die. Experts say that things like "sleep" and "eating food" can give you energey, but Trump doesn't believe that. He regularly tells people exercising that they are going to die young from wasting their energy.

None of that is a joke.

It's 100 years old as of this season. The UW Athletic Department has been doing a cool feature where they post an article a day counting down to the season opener commemorating a person or group that's part of Camp Randall's history. It only took 10 days for the one about a drunk fan on field.
They've really leaned in to the historical preservation, rather than modern updates like Lambeau's atrium. Aside from some jammed concourses during halftime and no beer sales it's a great place.

Excited to go there for a game this season. Big Ten scheduling is bad.

So my friends and I have been working for a while on a podcast about Big Ten football. After dealing with some technical issues and a rough editing process we finally got episode 1 out! We're going through each program and talking a bit about their history, our predictions for this season and our general opinions on them, starting with Ohio State, Michigan and Penn State. I'm the first voice you hear.

Any constructive criticism is gladly appreciated (besides "you guys talk over each other too much." We're well aware of it). I'll definitely be scouring TFF for content this season.

He also mentioned taking the Fab 5 to a strip club where they all got blown on stage.

What happened?

So far, early in the 2nd quarter:

- Charles Woodson scores a wide-open touchdown. Michigan 17-0, ABC immediately cuts to a shot of a stunned Jerry Sandusky. "Jerry Sandusky cannot believe it!"

- At the end of the 1st quarter, a Penn State TE is absolutely trucked near the sidelines. The Michigan player hits him shoulder to collarbone, but both helmets pop back and both guys are knocked out. ABC goes to commercial for the end of the quarter, and returns to a shot of the dazed Penn State guy on the sidelines, as Keith Jackson tells an amusing story about how the player was knocked out, awoke to "say some funny things" and the players and coaches "all had a good laugh making fun of him for getting his bell rung".

- Joe Paterno had his gameplan altered because his quarterback burst into his office to tell him what he saw on film. "And when you have a coach's son at quarterback like Mike McCreary, you've gotta listen to him!"

Just, lots of yikes.

EDIT: Charles Woodson gets another big gain on a long pass play. Cut to a frustrated Jerry Sandusky on the sidelines. "Jerry Sandusky is really going to be mad if Penn State keeps leaving Woodson alone. Don't be fooled folks, he isn't just a mild-mannered gentleman!"

Michigan is crushing Penn State, and ABC is showing Sandusky more than Paterno.

"That man right there, Jerry Sandusky, is not a happy camper with his defense" (cut to a small graphic showing yards gained, keeping the camera on Sandusky)

In the 3rd quarter, a sideline report starts off with "We all know there's so much to admire about Joe Paterno, but one thing I just saw is..." before talking about how Paterno watches film of his opponents. Every possible Paterno praise is fit in, every possible Paterno shot is cut to.

When a sideline report is on Michigan, it's just "I talked to Carr, and..."

It is 31-0 Michigan at this point.

I realized the media idolized Paterno, but I really wasn't expecting anything like this. It's pure adoration, and he's getting his rear end kicked.

Late in the 4th quarter, Michigan is up 34-8. ABC has been showing highlights of Nebraska/Missouri all game (the kicked ball TD ending), but just showed the first in-game highlight of Tennessee's Peyton Manning, who threw a touchdown pass. After showing Peyton, ABC cuts back to the game, as Michigan puts in backup QB Tom Brady for the first time today.
