THE BIG 10 THREAD

[Innermind]

Go Gophers! I want Minnesota to reach Bowl eligibility by getting two more wins, and give interim coach Tracy Claeys a real shot at securing the permanent coaching gig.

It's not going to be easy, as 4 of the last 5 games will be really tough:

Illinois at PSU should be B1G's game of the week.

might be a good game but, Beth Mowins?...heck, my dog wouldn't bother even humping that thing's leg.

ESPN must really hate us to keep having Mowins do our games

It sucks that Corey was injured this year. Watching him, it's remarkably clear that we would be heading for an 11-1 season and a game against OSU for a trip to the playoffs had he been healthy. He's already made two TDs where our other RBs would not have made it past the line of scrimmage.

 

[The Derski]

Are the Badgers going to set a record for consecutive games on big ten network so no one can ever watch them?

At least you actually get on ESPN.

I do think Wisconsin would have won with Clement (same with Pitt with Conner). But I think it would still be low scoring. Iowa has a great run defense and Wisconsin would have relied more on the run. That fumble still could have happened because (1) Iowa didn't force it and (2) it was a run play that got messed up between the snap and the handoff.

But I do think he would have been that little bit of push to get past Iowa. Iowa at Wisconsin would be really fun 2nd half of season though. Iowa's offense is now rolling with Wisconsin's defense is strong. Wisconsin's offense has Clement and Iowa's defense is still strong.

Would rather be on B1GN. ESPN is awful.

Maybe you do, but half the country doesn't get that channel, Wisconsin has been on Big ten network like 4 straight game and I can never watch them.

 

[pabartl787]

Hey Nebraska, how is firing Bo Pelini working out for ya? HAHAHAHA

 

[iowajerms]

Depends if the ESPN is regional coverage or national. Also, depends if you want to be talked about all day or not. Right now, I bet Nebraska is not wanting to be talked about all day but Wisconsin does.

 

[pabartl787]

Wont matter in a couple of years when FOX is showing B1G games

Firing Pelini was the correct move, hiring Mike Riley was not.

 

[The Derski]

Wow

 

[pabartl787]

Firing Pelini was the correct move, hiring Mike Riley was not.

Yeah firing a guy who gets you 9-10 wins a yr is a good thing.

 

[iowajerms]

Firing Pelini was the correct move, hiring Mike Riley was not.

So, NU needs 8.5 games for Riley to prove himself?

 

[The Derski]

I know Nebraska has been down for years but you really think that's acceptable at a school like that? Hell that shouldn't even be acceptable at PSU.

 

[The Derski]

Please dude, do you see Riley ever turning Nebraska into a top tier team? The dude did nothing at Oregon St. His resume is so bland and apathetic it's sad.
