How many UM games you been to at the BIG HOUSE?  Just curious, I have never been there.

2. One against Syracuse and the shutout against Notre Dame in 2003.

Maybe the Big Ten can just lose. Except maybe for Illiana.

 

How can you dislike the Big Ten? Especially Big Ten football?

greasy, I feel bad for that dog in your avatar. And all other dogs who are dressed by their owners.

 

It's not mine. It's Google's Image results for the word "Colts."

 

So, you didn't hurt my feelings.

Was actually thinking of going this weekend but the planning just doesnt work out.

Because I like the Big 12. There's really no other reason for me to have a Baylor avatar.... It'll be changing to Peyton soon, though.

Didn't used to be.

 

I'm pulling for Kansas State this weekend.

 

I absolutely despise how the Big Ten is on nearly every football channel on Saturday mornings.

No it didn't. Remember when Kansas State was a powerhouse program a couple years ago.

1. Do you know where you live?

 

2. Big Ten games eat up that 11:00 kickoff time.

Um, yeah it did. They have been in 16 bowl games. A conference title as recently as 1994. They were a respectable team in the SWAC.

 

Yes I do on K-State. What is your point with that?

I live in Ames, Iowa and NE Iowa. My dad was an ISU undergrad who loved it down here. There's no excuse for me to end up any other way.

All i meant was that you are in the midwest, which is big ten country...not necessarily big 12 country

95% of my town was Big 10 backers. 99% cheer for teams not named White Sox. I guess I break the mold.

no i was agreeing with you. They did yet they have just tubed.

Josh, Brian, I know hope springs eternal and all that jazz, and I realize Michigan has a solid chance of beating the Bucks on Saturday. But the Spartans have about as much chance of beating PSU as I have being elected Pope. The've quit on the season.

It's when you say things like that when those damn Spartans go out and score 35 in the first quarter.

That is the link to 3 star recruit and nationally ranked athlete Kyle Williams, who is heading to Arizona State on a football scholarship.

 

Yeah, the son of White Sox GM Kenny Williams.

I'm pretty sure that Ken Jr. was on scholarship at U of A for baseball. (outfield, I think) -- I tried to look it up, but the UoA website is crap.

Yeah I'm pretty sure that's accurate, and I think he was actually a real good player for them too.

They have the power of SUPERSTEVE behind them this week. They will come through!

here is a fact that will blow your mind from SI.

Michigan State is 9-1 against top-10 teams since 1997, a streak that began, eerily enough, when a 5-5 MSU team beat a 9-1 Penn State team 49-14.

Prior results mean very little, especially when harkening back to past years.

Looking at ESPN, I count two losses in 03 to top tennage.

 

November 1 No. 4 Michigan L 27-20 7-2 (4-1)

November 8 at No. 6 Ohio State L 33-23 7-3 (4-2)

Looking at ESPN, I count two losses in 03 to top tennage.

 

November 1 No. 4 Michigan  L 27-20 7-2 (4-1)

November 8 at No. 6 Ohio State  L 33-23 7-3 (4-2)

The No. 4 and No. 6 are retroactive. That's what they finished at the end of the year (or at least that's what I'm assuming)

 

The statement Josh made is probably 100% accurate. They are 9-1 against the last 10 teams who were in the Top 10 when they played them. Normally a loss to MSU is enough to keep you out of the top 10 for the rest of the year.
