Around the Big Ten

[lineygoblue]

Jeff, one of these times when you come up here, we're going to make a trip to Cabela's so we can get you a good pair of long johns.

So that way, when the temperature drops below 65, your teeth won't be chattering ... :-)

Well, if he is, I'm ok with it. If he follows Dr. Tom's career arc, by the time M is finally winning national titles I'll be nearly dead.

I'd be far more concerned if he were an UFM. 3 national titles in 13 seasons would not be good.

hello

I think I can speak for all of us here...we wish you were dead now.

Beat me to it, Wiz

if we are taking a vote, I vote yes

[Wild Hoss]

We should be taking collections, not votes.

Best big campuses.


Problem is these are also town reviews. I think Madison is a clear #1. I've never been impressed with state college, but you know my bias. I'd put Lincoln>AA, but UM>UNL.

College Park? WTF? There's a two-block strip and a plaza with parking metres. The campus is okay. Nice quad, but that's about it. It's not a college town in any way. It's a mile-long section of a surburban artery that's not at all walkable. The metro stop is buried way off the ``strip'', if you'd call it that.

I do like the word ``stately'' for Ann Arbor. Sort of like how you'd use it for an older woman who was obviously very beautiful long ago. That fits.

[WM Wolverine]

They really don't get worse than College Park. They lose all credibility by having them anywhere but near the very bottom of the B10.

Madison is great, UW fans are drunken assholes. That's all you need to know about Wisky.

Big Ten needs to fight back against recruiting rules that favor the SEC

[*JD*]

Are you kidding me? Harbaugh didn't come here to just teach guys how to fucking wrap up. He better get 9 wins this year.

I can take fewer wins (like 7, begrudgingly) if one of the W's is against spartie or the gray nuts.

Harbaugh has his work cut out for him.

Wonder what M's 10y win percentage was right before Bo took over.
