Wisconsin's [Mark May]ty loss is the one that hurts. I figured Iowa had a shot with Mettenberger out, LSU's crap defense and the fact that Kirk Ferentz is the only B1G coach other than Meyer and Dantonio that I trust come bowl time. Still LSU's massive talent advantage is what won them the game today so it doesn't hurt that badly. Minnesota losing to goddamn Syracuse and Michigan pitiful display vs Kansas fraking State hurts far more. Now I get to watch Stanford curbstomp Sparty. Joy!

Sorry. I couldn't support either team in the Furball vs. TSUN game. I hoped each other would do this:

This abbreviation....Just bad coaching in both instances. If Wiscy pounds the ball all day with a couple play actions to keep them honest this game is a no brainer win. Add in the fake FG and the other horrible 4th down call and they beat themselves. The other thing I am seeing across the board is bad DB play. Does no coach teach their player to look for the ball anymore?

The B1G is truly in a sorry state. ESPN or not, it's a poor football conference. There's no defending how poor it is. Even in a mediocre year for the SEC, they beat the B1G more often than not.

To be fair, this is the absolute worst the B1G has ever been. An Ohio State team with the worst Buckeye defense I've ever seen would have played for the Title if Herman and Meyer didn't forget they had Carlos Hyde. I honestly can't imagine how ugly it's going to get for the rest of the B1G when Meyer truly has this offense humming and we get a legit DC.

It won't go down that way on sEcSPiN or any other media outlet for that matter...

Wouldn't matter anyway. If they had won, the excuses would fly. SEC was riddled with injuries and then the weather and field conditions and it was an off day blah blah. Pretty sure nothing the B1G can change media/national perception until they dominate a decade or win a couple NCs.

If one dropped pass isn't dropped, the B1G is 0-3.

And I could point to a small handful of other plays that would have made the B1G 2-1 or maybe 3-0. Point is, the pass was dropped. That game was close, just like the Iowa game and the SC game. For a conference that seems to out recruit the shit out of our middle tier teams, the results don't show that discrepancy.

Sorry folks today was my fault. I busted out the Ohio State sweater vest for the first time in a while, Wisky and Iowa had flashbacks to Tressel taking their lunch money, and that's why they lost.. It explains why corn aggy was the only one that won. They never experienced the fury of Tressel ball with the mastermind at the helm

Can't help but think the real discrepancy is Coaching. That article about the difference in paychecks for Coordinators comes to mind.
