Alright, back to bidness here, who ya got this week in the Former Big Ten?
Minnie at NW, Who gets the bigger break here? Goldie the Gopher for catching the Purple Gang right after they got bloodied by the buckeyes and then stomped by the badgers, or Milton the Mildcat for finally getting Minnie or Bye on their schedule? Minnie's coach is becoming the Sly and the Family Stone of college football. Sad to say, I know he can't help it, but he's gotta go. I like Fitz to get the Kitties back to playing tough.
Purdue at East Lansing. Sparty still has time to be Sparty, but it ain't going to be this weekend, Hail, hail to ol' Purdue, oh hail to the black and the blue.
Indiana at Michigan: When did you ever look at this and say, "Too close to call?" What happens when a resistible force meets a moveable object? I dunno, but I like the idea that the bucks get to bust the Joker's win at home streak cherry. Pickin' the blue.
Bucky Badger at Illinois. The illini fight song, Oskee wow wow (that's right folks, Oskee wow wow) always reminds me of the Mothers of Invention hit, Wowie, Zowie. No doubt they've made great strides since the Zooker was run out of town, but I'm personally glad there's no way the Bucks will have to play the Badgers again this year. On Wisconsin.
Iowa comes to the 'shoe for a crowning. The bucks may lose a Big Ten game this year- like if Indiana catches fire again, or Penn State's Hackenberg keeps on playing like a sophomore- but I don't see it happening against the Hawkeyes.
Is Nebraska at Bye or Open Date? Either way, I bet Martinez throws another interception.
Extra credit. I'd root for USC in this game even if Kiffin were still in charge. Fortunately he's gone. After this it's nothing but service academies and froth until the Irish have to play at Palo Alto, so it's important that the Trojans win one for the Kiffer. Fight on for USC!
