B1G CCG: Sparty +9.5 vs Wisconsin (ov/un 57.5) Sat 8 ET, Fox

[BB73]

Since Wiscy is in the Leaders Division with tOSU, should Buckeye fans root for Wisconsin?

Screw that - go Sparty!

UW is a great team at home, a solid but beatable team on the road. Not sure how they'll fare at a neutral site.

I like our chances in a dome with our offense.

A couple of things are different from the Hail Mary game, however:
Gholston is back
Ball was hurt for a large portion of that game
Peter Konz is out

I got Wisconsin, 30-24.

Fuck Bucky, go Sparty!

Looks like Indy is rolling out the red carpet...

I watched the first UW-MSU game this year, and I don't recall Ball being hurt. In fact, I remember him ripping off a long run in the 4th quarter when UW was mounting its comeback.

He got hurt sometime in the second quarter, IIRC.

This. Is. Glorious

turday night event in downtown Indianapolis needs seat-fillers. Total number of seat-fillers needed will vary based on crowd.

Part of me cringes because of how much I like the B1G, but I'm ecstatic on the other hand because Wisconsin and MSU are such posers that it's ridiculous.

I hope they scrap the corporate CCG show and switch to the PAC 12 model of letting the higher ranked team (or the head-to-head winner if there was one) host the CCG. More tickets would usually be available due to larger stadiums (if it's tOSU, TSUN, PSU, Wiscy, Nebraska, Iowa, or Sparty doing the hosting), and it would be more of a college environment, plus there's a higher likelihood of a team with a chance of finishing in the BCS top-2 of winning and making the BCS Title game.

Other than that, Mr. Delany, why do you want to go to the pro $tadiums? They should be able to work out something where the ticket sales, etc. from the CCG host are shared with the conference, so I can't think of a reason to use the pro stadiums other than the guaranteed number of luxury boxes available, and money kicked into the deal from the local governments/chambers of commerce.

Screw Lucas Oil, Soldier Field, Lambeau, Ford Field, Browns Stadium, Paul Brown Stadium, Heinz Field, and Vikings/Mall of America Stadium if it gets built!

Play a college game in a college stadium, and let the local fans of the team that's earned it help spur them to a BCS Title Game spot.

Please define "posers".

 

[Merih]

I'm somewhat interested in attending, seeing how many seats will be available and how it is the first inaugural B1G Championship Game.

Any Buckeyes making the trek?

Even up, I might like Wiscy. With 9.5 points though, I got to go with the Spartards.
