My day today? Perfection. Unabashed perfection.

Ohio State 24, Penn State 7

A dominating performance against an overrated team.  Yes, I said it.

Overrated.

The Penn State blogs are beside themselves, looking for excuses and ways to deflate Pryor’s big win.  Yes, they’re still trying to call the 62-yard TD pass an “arm punt”.

Somewhere out there, someone is trying to find the vocabulary skills to write that Evan Royster’s 37 yards make him Heisman-worthy.

The win gives Ohio State the victory in three of the last four trips to Happy Valley.

Purdue 38, Michigan 36

Six weeks ago, I was getting troll-mails from Michigan fans, taunting me and Ohio State’s 3-1 record when the Wolverines were 4-0.  I wonder if those guys will write back tomorrow?

Michigan probably lost their hopes for a bowl bid with today’s defeat to Purdue, and the Boilers rekindled their hopes of getting into the postseason.

Michigan (5-5) closes the season at Wisconsin (7-2), and home against Ohio State (8-2).  They must have one win or they’re home for bowl season two years in a row.  Purdue has two games left against 5-5 MSU and 4-6 Indiana.  Despite starting 1-5, the Boilers might get in.  Despite starting 5-1, the LOLverines might not.

And yes, the Michigan blogs are in full whine mode.  Their main site’s live chat was abruptly ended about 4.3 seconds after the final play, long before the laughter had ceased.

By the way, the “Denard Robinson Experience” only gained four yards less than it did last week.  Last week, it gained one yard.  This week, negative-3.

Michigan’s defense has now surrendered an AVERAGE of 33.3 points per game in its’ last six games against Div 1 schools.  Take away their win against Division 1-AA Delaware State, and they’ve been outscored for the season 258-257.  But yeah, they’re totally way awesome.

Northwestern 17, Iowa 10

The Hawkeyes jumped out to a 10-point lead in the first quarter, and then realized that they were Iowa.  The 4th-ranked Hawkeyes finally decided that one good win and 8 really average wins was enough for them and they fell to the Northwestern Wildcats 17-10.

QB Ricky Stanzi was sacked or something in the second quarter, and fumbled the ball that NW recovered for a TD.  He ended up leaving the game with a “severe high ankle sprain” and didn’t return.  He will likely miss the Ohio State game next week.

Upon hearing the words “quarterback” and “severe high” in the same sentence, Brian Cook from MGoBlog immediately launched into a reflexive tirade about how Justin Feagin was never a memeber of the Michigan Wolverines and demanded several apologies from the Detroit Free Press and the estate of Mitch Albom.

Quote of the game has to go to Iowa Head Coach Kirk Ferentz.  When asked about Stanzi’s injury, he said “Anytime you lose your quarterback, that’s not good”.  Ferentz did not seem to notice that Northwestern won the game with THEIR starting quarterback, Mike Kafka, nursing an injury himself.

Later tonight, maybe someone can explain the irony of that statement to Ferentz.  Just call him up now, he’s probably awake and waiting for that weekly phone call from the sherriff’s department.  They have the team roster in the booking room, doncha know?

Over at Iowa’s main blog “Black Hearts, Brown Underpants“, they’re already in full meltdown.

I’ll save you the click-through.  It was the ref’s fault.

Apparently the ref decided to bat down two out of every three of Iowa’s passing attempts, and on four separate occasions, they just took the ball away from the center and handed it to Northwestern’s coach  (that’s sarcasm…Iowa passed for just over 33 percent on the day and had four turnovers).

Iowa brings their M*A*S*H unit and history of failure in big games to Columbus next weekend.

Navy 23, Notre Dame 21

I wonder if the national media will ask themselves if perhaps Navy actually was a good team when Ohio State beat them 31-27 in September?

Probably not, but they’re sure going to shut up about Notre Dame in the BCS after the Irish floated a BIG fail at home against the Middies.

Wanna know the best part?

The two-point difference came because of Jimmy Clausen, who will still likely get the Heisman vote from Lou Holtz.  He got tackled in the end zone with one minute to play in the game.

I’ll wait for you to stop laughing.

Two Navy players carried for over 100 yards, as the Middies got 357 yards on the ground total.  Navy improves to 7-3, and dammit the AP voters better recognize that when they rank us this week.  meanwhile, Notre Dame falls to 6-3 overall, which is a respectable 67 percent of the goal that Holtz promised us they would make.

So if you ask me how my day was, I can answer it in one word.

Perfect.

Oh, and I got my Motorola Droid today.  Yeah, life is good.
