Around the Big Ten

[THE_WIZARD_]

Purdue will make some noise vs ND in a close defeat. The refs will make a bad call that leads to a narrow ND win.

ND 27
Purdue 24.

Don't underestimate David Bell and George Karlaftis.
AND Jack Plummer is not Jake Plummer's son. Not related.

Sparty, Indiana both (barely) up over ranked teams at halftime. Gophers leading Colorado 13-0 in the second quarter.

Either Sparty is better than expected or all three of their games have been played in perfect storm conditions. Did Miami underestimate them? Tucker seems to be Dantonio without the Michigan penis envy. He's getting 2 and 3 stars to play like 4 stars.

Who can figure Minnesota? Captain Kangaroo has his Goofers playing well. paddle the canoe .. or whatever.

Man, I wish Purdue would have laid a L on ND ... would have did my heart well ...

Nebraska ... c'mon man ...

What is going on with NW? Last year they played in the Big Ten CCG. This year, they can't even handle Duke? I mean, I'd get it if this was basketball .. but ye gads ..

Iowa is having a tussle with Kent State? Really?

CFB ...

[froot loops]

MSU has a good line, probably the best OL they have had since the Rose Bowl year. Thorne has been really good. Mel Tucker's staff put a lot of time and effort into the transfer market I t. So far so good, Kenneth Walker has been a revelation. Jayden Reed has been as good as advertised.

Miami was overrated, so take it with a grain of salt.

[WM Wolverine]

Sparty was likely to improve, they returned alot of starters, took on a few transfers, and had some really bad luck last season other than when they played us. They have the same problem we have, B1G East looks very good, lots of toss up games other than Maryland who should be an easy win.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Probably the weakest slate of games so far this year.

Barstool’s Dave Portnoy wants Bama and it’s hard to blame him.

[Cody_Russell]

Beat Ohio State first. Then you can talk.

That said, I doubt he was serious in the post… hopefully.

[AlabamAlum]

Portnoy went to M. He’s a huge fan. And Michigan is absolutely playing better than Bama.

[lineygoblue]

Portnoy has given in to the Kool Aid. He will regret it.

Liney...can we borrow your special teams next Saturday vs. Sparty?

Thanks brother.

Its fine with me, Wiz, but I think they're already spoken for.

Tell Frosty to coach up those Huskerz. Somebody needs to lay a "L" on Sparty.

Hannibal is that you. Why did you hijack Linesman's avatar?

[lineygoblue]

I'm not drinking the Kool Aid, Jeff. Lots of things can still go wrong with this season.

I'll enjoy the good stuff, but I'm expecting some bad.
