Is it just the picture or is MSU's endzone in Blue?

My guess is that its the picture. At first I thought maybe there was something with Leaders/Legends and Red/Blue, but I looked up pictures from the last two games and the endzones were the colors of the schools.

We had a first year coaching staff still getting acquainted with their players. It's been said but we turned the ball over 3 times last year. Our passing game was not nearly as effective as it is this year. Our running game was good but revolved mostly around Braxton. Now it is both better and balanced. Maybe the best in CFB. It was in Sparty's house.

It will still be a hard fought game. I like our chances.

I wonder who the other 10 B1G schools want to win the B1G CCG. An Ohio State victory likely sends Ohio State to the BCS Championship and Sparty to the Rose Bowl. Besides the conference prestige of having a B1G school playing for the BCS championship, two B1G schools in a BCS game means over $1M more for each of the other B1G schools as well as Delaney (commissioner's office).

Actually, possible.

A safety incurred during a PAT (or two-point conversion attempt) counts as a single point. So if Ohio State fumbled on a two-point conversion attempt, Michigan State recovered and retreated back into the end zone where they were tackled--that would give Ohio State a one-point safety...which could end a game in 4th overtime as a one-point win.

The NCAA rule is as follows:

"On a try attempt… a Team A fumble that is recovered in the Team B end zone by Team B. RULING: Safety, award Team A one point (Rules 8-3-1 and 8-5-1)."

Here's an example of the one-point safety actually occurring...

Are you sure that the same rule would apply in OT? I thought the defense could not score no matter what happened in OT - if a defense can't score points for themselves, then they also shouldn't be able to score points for the other team (i.e., a safety).

ALL BP'ERS!!!

Had a work party tonight so I'm a little tipsy and couldn't make it downtown, but message me if you want to meet up tomorrow. I will be downtown most of the day- looking for tickets and drinking. Would love to talk Indianapolis and Buckeye football in my hometown. Willing to text/call and meet up.

@TDunk can confirm I'm an OK, although slightly inebriated, guy. GO BUCKS!!!
