Nice programming reference. For a second there I was wondering why you were so excited about an equals sign. I’m such a nerd.

Someone uploaded the Pryor hit: it was on one of their linebackers (Rex Sharpe, #33.. from Alabama… tee-hee), and not the motormouth Tramaine Brock.

Here’s a picture of your Buddy Nathan Williams (the 110th of 124 images at O-Zone)

I noticed that James Laurinaitis calls him “Nate”. Bad! Very bad!

Oh! Remember Etienne Sabino knocking someone out on special teams for the second consecutive week?

Almost forgot: is anybody other than me worried that Curtis Terry is a little too, let’s say, “enthusiastic” a player? That maybe he’s a thug whose dirty play might bite us in the ass one day? Didn’t he get away with stomping deliberately on Tebow in the desert a couple years ago?

Guys like that make me nervous.

Yo, Vico – I’m with you on Minnesota’s vast improvement under Brewster. I think they’re gonna finish in the top half of the B11 – based on what little I’ve seen so far I’d give them a shot to beat anybody besides Penn State. Just as a humorous side note, a commenter at The Daily Gopher said “I wasn’t too impressed with pryor’s (sic) passing abilities” – HA! I guess it’s true that, as Dave Chappelle’s R. Kelly sings, “haters gotta hate.”

Saine is a bust. So far not even as good as Lydell Ross, and coming from me who hated Ross with the white-hot intensity of a thousand suns, that’s saying something. There’s also no possible way he can be one of our two best KRs – enough of this “missed practices, tweaked hammy, playing himself back into shape, blah blah” Senator-speak. Let him play himself back into shape on the scout team.

The BTN color guy had a good line about TP’s beatdown of that kid – he said that Tressel should tell him on Monday that he’s being moved to linebacker, since he puts his throwing shoulder into people like one. I take his (and Brennaman’s, and Mason’s) point – Terrelle is far too important to his team to go around looking for people to hit unnecessarily – but it WAS fun to see. Was that Brock, the loudmouth, that he smoked maybe? Didn’t think about it at the time to check, and the game’s already gone from the DVR.

About next week – with apologies (because I just don’t feel like thinking of a new and different way to say the same thing), here’s part of a comment I left @ 11W: “I watched pretty much all of the Wisconsin-Michigan game, and the Badgers were not at all impressive; I feel better about next week than I did before. I don’t know how much difference a healthy Travis Beckum makes with that Evridge kid at QB. We ought to be able to stack the box against them on defense, and if their defense can be gashed by Steven Threet and that patchwork O-line DickRod’s rolling with, then Bielema’s probably scared shitless of what LiC and Beanie can do to them.”

Agree on Brandon Saine. He’s big and fast and has no vision.

The first 3rd down throw to Decker was a sick throw by Weber. He Freeman and the safety (I wanna say Russell) had him bracketed. Weber put it in the absolute perfect spot.

you know what, Tressel says he wants a more balanced attack than we had today, but honestly screw that. if we can get Beanie to rush for 150ish yards a game like he’s capable of while at the same time getting 75-100 from pryor plus another 50 or so from the supporting cast, i’m not real concerned about making sure we throw it 25 times. if we can ram it down people’s throats, let’s just do that
