If ever I wondered about something shady going on with a College football game or player, just see Tim Hiller's performance last night against Ball State.
Dare I say "Art Schlichter" like.
Now understand, this is just me thinking out loud. I am not accusing anyone of anything, but I am just beside myself about what I witnessed in that game last night with whom scouts are calling the 6th best QB in next years draft.
How does Hiller, running the #24 pass offense in the country, at home on senior night, with 12 days to prepare for a 103 ranked pass defense in the country in Ball State put up that kind of performance last night.
4 INT's, two of which were throws a true freshman wouldn't make. If you watch or follow football you know exactly what I am talking about. Not the throws a senior QB would make.
HMMMMMMMMM.
I will take the loss with Western Michigan and move on but come guys, give me a better effort than that. On senior night. Trying to become bowl eligible. Fantastic way to end your career at home.
As embarrassing a home performance I can ever remember by any team in college football and my personal opinion of Mr. Hiller, prepare for the arena league and if he is lucky maybe Canada.
That is your last home game of your entire year, trying to get bowl eligible and extend my career one game so scouts can see a bit more of me and that is the performance I put up?
Time to move on.

10 DIME - DENVER PIONEERS - The Pioneers are ready to send a message to their neighbor from Wyoming tonight, much the way South Dakota State did already this year.
Like SDST, who returned all 5 starters from last year, Denver returns all 5 of their starters from last year.
SDST went into Wyoming and threw them a beat down to the tune of 77-61 with all 5 of those starters back from last year. Experience is crucial this early in the year.
Yes, Wyoming bounced back with a nice win over Boise State, but let's not put the cart before the horse regarding Boise. They play no defense.
This is the first true road game for a Wyoming squad that lost 80% of their scoring with the loss of back to back 4 year starters at point guard in Brandon Ewing and Sean Ogirri.
You take those two with departed forward Tyson Johnson and their goes over 46 points of scoring along with a whole lot of leadership.
Returning are starters Dfam Muojake, who has become their go to guy this year putting up 19, 26 and 18 points in their first 3 games this year.
Problem facing this team tonight is not only are you taking your inexperienced backcourt on the road for the first time but you are facing an even better team in Denver.
Making matters worse for Wyoming is facing the "Princeton" offense that will be run with precision with which this very experienced team will run it with at home.
In their 3 games this year Denver has played 3 teams that have all been picked to finish in the top 3 of their preseason league ratings.
They lost their opener at home to the preseason favorite in the Missouri Valley conference Northern Iowa 71-65 followed by a solid win over Arkansas Pine Bluff 75-56, picked to finish 3rd in the SWAC.
And let me point out that is an Arkansas Pine Bluff team that returned all 5 of their five starters from last year so it's not like they didn't have any talent.
Finally love their 7 point win over Montana last game out jumping to a 14 point half time lead and cruising in the 2nd half covering the -5 over the Grizzlies picked to finish 3rd in the Big Sky.
This is the year for Joe Scott and this Denver team to make some noise and with a team that knows each other so well, laying this number is the only way to go.
