In this episode we recap all ten Big Ten bowl games and honor the life of the legend John Madden.

Welcome to a new episode of Land-Grant Holy Land’s I-70 podcast. On this show we talk all things Big Ten football and basketball. After every week of action, we will get you caught up on all the conference’s games and look ahead at the matchups, storylines, and players that you should be paying attention to in the next week. My name is Jordan Williams, and I am joined by my co-host Dante Morgan.

Happy New Years! We hope you had a wonder holiday and good luck on all your resolutions. In this week’s episode we recap a pretty success and wild bowl slate for the Big Ten. After starting 5-0 the conference ended bowl season with a 6-4 record, not bad but not great. W

e get into Michigan’s disappointing showing against a dominant Georgia team, Michigan State’s 11th win, and instant classics from Purdue against Tennessee and Ohio State in the Rose Bowl against Utah.

We also discuss Purdue’s Aidan O’Connell and C.J. Stroud both throwing for over 500 yards as their teams find a way to win 48-45 in their respective matchups.

Jordan wins the bowl game competition with a record of 8-2 bringing his final tally to 103-75 for the season. Dante finishes 6-4 with a final record of 99-79, so he must wear a Clemson shirt and buy wings for the National Championship.

In their weekly pit stops, Dante can’t stand ex-players, coaches, and media members who complain about players who opt out of bowl games; stop saying they don’t love football by trying to protect their future.

Jordan gets into the Black QB revolution. Slowly but surely, the number of Black quarterbacks in the NFL is increasing and will continue to do so as Stroud and Bryce Young look to be the first quarterbacks taken in the 2023 NFL Draft. ‘

Lastly, they remember the legends John Madden and Betty White. Condolences to their family and thank you for all of the memories we have of them and their work!

Correct.

Aight, yall know what kind of party this is. Put your keys in the bowl. Jimmy wraps on the counter. Lube on request.

The Dawgs have spent years funneling booster money to accumulate an outrageous amount of talent that only Alabama and Ohio State can match.

Pottersville ROCKS!

George's confusion, even dismay, is understandable -- it's always a shock when the laws of space and time cease to apply. But if he'd hung out for a while, had a few drinks in the Indian Club, dropped a couple dimes in the dance hall, maybe checked out the action at the burlesque, he would have gotten a whole new take on the situation. Pottersville has its problems -- its bartenders can be undeniably ill-humored, for example -- but compared to the snooze-inducing Bedford Falls, it jumps.

...

And, of course, there are the town's many fine taverns. Alas, we will never know what delights are hidden behind the door of the Indian Club or the Bamboo Room, the Midnight Club or the Blue Moon. But we do have firsthand knowledge of one hostelry -- Nick's, formerly Martini's, the first place into which George and Clarence stumble and from which they are rapidly ejected. And if Nick's is any indication, a night out in Pottersville is not one to forget.

The first thing we see in Nick's is a black piano player, stomping out some righteous honky tonk. A Lauren Bacall-type babe at a crowded table catches the eye. Tough-looking men in fedoras and worldly-wise broads in low-cut dresses are bellied up to the bar. In a word, it's a happening place -- until George and the egregious Clarence come in.

FWIW, Dr. Rex Kern, PhD as a book out:

Ex-Florida wide receiver Jacob Copeland is transferring to Maryland. The redshirt-junior wideout announced his commitment to the Terrapins Friday afternoon on social media. The news comes just over two weeks after Copeland entered the NCAA transfer portal. Despite his decision to transfer, he elected to play in Florida’s bowl game Thursday night, making two catches for 35 yards in the Gators’ 29-17 loss to UCF in the Gasparilla Bowl.

Copeland finished the season as the Gators’ leading receiver with 41 catches for 642 yards and four touchdowns while appearing in all 13 games and making 12 starts.

"After much thought, prayer and discussion with my friends and family, I have made the decision to enter the Transfer Portal," Copeland wrote in a farewell note on Dec. 9. "This has not been an easy decision or one that I have taken lightly; however, I want to do what is best for my development by pursuing my goals and furthering my career.”

Before the clock strikes midnight, I have to confess this...

Well, doggone it.

Is ok to sell tickets to the game here? Rose Bowl. Ohio State side. Section 13H Row 52. Four (4) tickets together. Face value $185 each. Can transfer tickets immediately. Venmo payment. Email [email protected] or message if interested.

Betting that Cincy will get him. His bet buddy is playing for Cincy, and believe it was his #2(?) before committing to the good guys along with his other buddy Paris Johnson. He'll probably get more minutes with UC, and with them joining the B12, maybe more TV exposure? Anyway, good luck young man.

Thats it. For some reason I thought his name was Smith. That qb ran like a scared bitch the rest of the game. Wonder if that would be a penalty today....

“Roughing” today.

I take the long view, enjoy and relish every single win, and don't focus on the disappointments. Disappointment is the ONLY guarantee in football.
Buckeyes give us a whole lot more great wins every year , and only one bad Saturday or 2, like what happened that day with Clemson, and this year's TTUN. 99.9% of schools fans don't get seasons like we have, dont have something as great as the last 20 years. Look at all the USC, Nebraska, Texas, fan misery. They don't even get to be RELEVANT this past decade. They have REASONS for sadness. TTUN has the most misery this decade probably, (and its mostly cause of us!) Their fans are so demented by suffering, and traumatized by Urban Meyer era, they desperately troll 2021 Jaguars Highlight (Lowlight) reels.
So we don't win it all every year, and TTUN finally got one. You're torrenters hopefully collecting archives; Cherish and re-watch all that glory. Lots are up on Youtube, somebody recently put up the 2012 undefeated season, download them and make rewatching that an offseason project.

I just tell ‘em, keep on lookin’ over your shoulder with your ears to the rail, ‘cause a runaway ammunition train us bearing down on you. No enjoyment, just fear until the world is put back in order next November.
