Around the Big Ten

Maybe not a fraud, but probably not on the same level as Bama and LSU. Both of those teams would throttle anyone from the B1G by 2 TDs..

Yep. The National Championship game is in 2 weeks.

I'd have to think if you have the unfortunate condition of being a spartie fan that this had to have been one of your happiest moments of football watching.

Even though it was close, I think the refs made the right call to reverse it. Sometimes karma takes the night off.

First good look I got at Wisconsin. They are not nearly as good as their rating. Still, they should win the rematch if Russell Wilson plays better. They won't get another punt blocked for a TD. They won't get another FG attempt blocked. Maybe they should try playing some tougher teams in the preseason.

Bielema is such a dumbass game coach. It seems like the Big Ten is full of those.

[lineygoblue]

I think you've explained why Michigan is so unpopular, Hanni.

[Jamie H]

I was just glad to see MSU play a clean game tonight. Perhaps they were just over exuberant last week...

Well, the main perpetrator of the dirty stuff wasn't allowed to play so.......

[Hannibal]

LMAO at Brent Musburger talking about how Gholston is actually a good kid who regrets what happened.

His coach wasn't even going to suspsend him.

Reminded me of when Maurice Clarett got suspended and Keith Jackson said in OSU's first game that year: "The NCAA should just leave these kids alone and let them go to class" or something hilarious along those lines.

What I can't understand is how the two Badgers around Nichol just stood there as the jump ball unfolded and fell in his hands.

They gotta be coached that as soon as the ball is touched, you have to wrap up any receiver around you.

Exactly! At that point, once a spartie touched the ball, pass interference can no longer be called. Wisky dozed off a bit there, didn't they?

Hail Mary's are tough. Every team really needs to practice them, probably more for defending them than for offense. The problem is, if you give up even 1 in a season, it's usually devastating.

As Michigan and Moeller discovered vs. Colorado years ago. That team never looked the same after that loss

[Mike]

Rob, that is a 15 yard penalty with loss of post for bringing up traumatic memories!

[whodean]

Illinois and Penn State in a real barn burner, 0-0 at the half.

[Rocky Bleier]

Wisky - Nebraska in the Conference Championship Game?

That would be a lot of red on the field.


But no Green!!!

[Jeff Buchanan]

Iowa looking average on the road. Big numbers on offense but only 14 points against a shitty Gopher team.

Coker is a load. If he has a game like MSU's Cunningham against M's defense, that won't be good.
