Re: Good win for Hawkeyes

D day. Calling my shots: Michigan wins by 10+. Northwestern stuns Sparty at the buzzer. Illinois beats OSU by I don't know how many points but who really cares. Sorry, this trophy is an honorable lady. Will do a three-way but is insulted that you'd even mention an orgy. If OSU stuns the world Iowa w...

Re: Good win for Hawkeyes

When they lost to Penn State, they lost the priviledge to win the conference title (yet, they still might get a share of the title)...they're playing for seeding in the conference tourney right now. To be fair, it would be cool to see them run the table at Crisler... Do you just type words to see w...

Re: Good win for Hawkeyes

I feel like MSU should run away with this game but a big run halfway through the 2nd half will get Michigan back into it. That and some extreme stat (MSU turnovers, UM 3-pt shooting ) will make the game seem more competitive than it actually is. Er, good call on my part, even if it was the opposite...

Re: Good win for Hawkeyes

I certainly hope you're right, but Michigan's been a bit of a paper tiger this year. Their success feels similar to watching Dickrod-era Denard tear up UConn and Indiana then disappear against OSU, so until they actually beat a "tough" team I'll just assume they're going to lose. Is actual...

Re: Good win for Hawkeyes

I hope this is a wakeup call...they've got to avenge that 23-point spanking from Sparty. I don't see how Michigan wins this one unless all of 40 things happen. Basically: - Questionable calls against MSU put Payne and Nix on the bench for most of the game - Stauskus stops being the same headcase Ha...

Losing to 0-14 Penn State. Ouch.
They only lost because PSU played like a 1-14 team.

Michigan supposedly doesn't have an elite defender, which is code for no one wants to put in that effort. WTF, isn't there some scrappy white boy on the team dying for PT?

Re: Big Ten to no longer schedule FCS opponents

I understand the reasoning for getting these schools off the schedule, but it's going to come at a cost to a lot of smaller universities, which I think is wrong.
