Reds win another, and college football games are somehow more interesting.

PrintThis team just refuses to give up the possibility of a .500 season.
Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game
That would be Jay Bruce, who went 2 for 3 with two walks, a double and a HR. Not a bad night for him. Sure, Joey Votto continued to play quite well (three doubles and a walk!), so it's close. Laynce Nic also had a walk and a sacrifice fly to go along with his HR, and even CORKY FREAKING MILLER had a double (and a single!).
To make a long story short, the Reds scored a lot of runs. Lehr tried to give up a ton of HRs again, but only allowed two, plus two more runs in the fifth. He was pulled after that, and then Owings, Herrera, Masset, and Burton combined to pitch four shutout innings.
But mainly, there's still college football going on. Clearly, you'd rather discuss that. But one more thing. Check out this FanGraph:

How the hell was Penn State getting talked up before this game?
they haven’t played anyone this season, and have been far less impressive than Michigan (excepting today) or tOSU so far…
RR: Proud home of the most mods in SBNation.
The thing about college football
is that at best, you’re measuring everyone on the basis of five or six games they’ve played against teams that are actually good. And you don’t know if anybody’s actually any good until they’re halfway through the season, at which point they’ve played two or three games against decent opponents. Even then, you’re not basing it on much.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
My favorite line about that
Penn State’s schedule is softer than Joe Pa’s diet.

Purdue’s QB still sucks, and the Hawkeyes are making this thing interesting!

Ahhh gotcha
Today has proven the Big 10 to really be the Bucks’ for the taking, I think. Not really saying anything about OSU, more of an indictment on the rest of the conference.
RR: Proud home of the most mods in SBNation.
i think the same can be said for Florida in the SEC
other than ’Bama, i dont see anyone. of course, that may be more because Florida is so OMGZ rather than the rest of the conference being subpar.

I think Alabama looks as good, if not better, than Florida
it’s just that Alabama’s style of play doesn’t lend to huge blowouts. They have the most dominant 24-7 wins I’ve seen since Michigan was really good.

Once upon a time
students at only one school knew how to spell Ohio.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
history
osu was a half century behind ohio.
indiana state doesnt do indiana. kansas state doesnt do kansas. michigan state doesnt do michigan.
Y’all are State, not Ohio.
"Plain and simple, I wake up in the morning and piss excellence"
Yeah, but "Ohio" is a lot easier to spell than "State"
We’re just being lazy.

They should host that game in Nippert/Wrigley.

One of ESPN's guys also picked the Domers

That's probably right
In his case, you kind of nod your head and keep going with it. He’s the Madville of college football analysts.

Houston
has a 44 yd fg attempt with 5 secs left….two TO’s in their back pocket. and they get a delay of game.
and the kid kicker kicks a career long 49 yarder at the half. good for him. but what horrible coaching.

I think not
Kelly may wish to move on at some point. But I had the opportunity to talk with him at length just before the season started. My assessment is that Coach Kelly really believes he can win a Nat. Championship in Cincinnati. He was fired up about the wealth of exceptional quality Ohio and Kentucky HS players available to UC and really loves what UC has provided for his team, his family and himself.
If you ever get the chance to talk with Brian Kelly he is a really laid back and down to earth guy. I just don’t see him falling for the whole Notre Dame shtick.

What the hell did they do?
What the announcers seemed to say they did doesn’t make any sense.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
ND ran the ball on 2nd down and didn't get anywhere
There were about 30 seconds on the clock after that play, and instead of letting the clock run and making ND spike it to stop the clock (ND had no more timeouts), Purdue’s coach called the timeout, giving ND two downs instead of one. Incomplete pass on 3rd down, TD on 4th. Ball game.
"We, as for me all seasons you are affected peculiarly in the edge of my seat and are happy concerning the fact that the Adam Dunn fan has been mixed up exactly." - Reynard-san
Why the hell would the Purdue coach call a timeout?
I just don’t get it.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
Because he has no business coaching a football team?

So, does everyone getting interviewed by Erin Andrews now stand there and think
“I’ve seen you naked!”? He could have been smiling because they won, but I think there was something else in that smirk.

UC is more entertaining to watch than O$U
Buckeyes are boring. They may be better, but they’re boring as hell.
UC is exciting
and pretty good. OSU is boring but still just a little bit better. The biggest reason is depth.
The excitement factor has been thrust to the fore front by the media. No longer is it good enough just to win all of your games. No longer is it good enough to beat everyone. The BCS (which is a media creation) has mandated the blowing out of lesser opponents to improve rankings, theirs.
At the end of the day the only things that matter are did your team win, did they play well, did they improve.
I’m just a little tired of all the hype from the talking heads and that we, as fans, have bought into it.
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.
no doubt
the media saturation of the sport has really turned me off. it wasnt 5 minutes after Tebow was injured that the first “how important is Tebow to UF? can they repeat without him?” story came out. puh-lease.
