I know, I know, I said I wouldn't do game threads, but I'm trying it out. I have my reasons, punks, so don't ask. Or do. I'll probably answer you.
First off, you should be at the game, not reading things on the internet. (You still have time to get up and go if you're in the area, folks!). But if you're not, stop by and comment.
I know it probably makes more sense and is much classier to go and comment on LTP, and by all means, go ahead and do so, but I'd like to get a game comment section going. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work, but I'm tryin it. I'd like to get a running commentary going, so, hey, yo, say something, and I'll say something back.
Before the game, here's some links to other things I wrote about the game, of course, you could just hit the "EMU" label, but, hey. Links.
- Here's an actual preview of this game sort of deal.
- Here's a highlight reel of EMU getting handily defeated by Army in one of the top ten depressing college football games I've ever seen a highlight reel of.
- Here's the most in-depth preview of EMU that I could write, which isn't saying much.
- And here's discussion of things nobody really asked about pertaining to Earl Boykins and Domino's Pizza.
Poll results: 59 of you voted, 58 of you think that NU will beat EMU. One of you is either a rogue EMU fan, a reader with poor motor skills trying to vote from an iPhone, or someone absolutely tripping balls right now. Good luck with that, dude.
So, if you feel the need, comment below. I couldn't come up with an intriguing reason for people to comment, so I struck a deal with ex-Towson offensive lineman Jermon Bushrod, currently pictured below. He promised me that for every quarter that you don't comment, he'd murder a helpless animal with a sledgehammer.
He hasn't picked his victim yet, but inside sources tell me he's deciding between a bunny and a month-old Jack Russell Terrier.
not watching. don't have btn here in ct. what's the deal with nu defense letting emu walk down the field on the opening drive?
ReplyDeletehey, thanks for stopping by. didn't think anybody was going to take me up on that offer.
ReplyDeletei guess emu marched down the field. but they needed a fourth down conversion they barely got to do it, and then they ended up about ten yards out of their kickers field goal range. so not bad by the nu d.
oh, and jermon says he was leaning towards the jack russell, so, thanks, patrick.
ReplyDeletemy pleasure. gamecast, btw, is a marvelous thing. it lets me know that iowa is once again struggling.
ReplyDeletewell ok, i guess the d hasn't allowed a score yet, so alright. that's in range for some better kickers, though.
third quarter i might have to abandon the puppy, unfortunately. how's the offense look?
two drives, two touchdowns. no complaints here, stephen simmons is looking way better than he ever has before. we definitely need to work on our kickoff coverage though, it's looking pretty ugly.
ReplyDeletei bet someone else will step in. nu fans aren't that heartless.
i think our game plan is to lose the field position battle as badly as we can, so it's just even more impressive that we're winning
ReplyDeletei had that thought. "4th and mid at our own 15? alright. let's go for it. if we fail then we get to test our red zone defense."
ReplyDeletedidn't happen, but i guess a lost fumble is just as good.
this is bad. this is really bad.
ReplyDeletealright what the hell is happening here
ReplyDeletethe short answer is that you stopped commenting and northwestern got outscored 21-3 in the second half.
ReplyDeleteDEMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSS!
ReplyDeletestefan, all is forgiven. all.
well. i look forward to the long answer in a couple hours then -_-
ReplyDeletethis is abysmal
that sounds good?
ReplyDeleteok gamecast caught up. good.
