Impact of Big Ten's Non-Conference Games

Of those first three games, I think the Big Ten teams are capable of sweeping them, but I think it is more likely that they get swept. I'll be rooting for them (well, two of them anyway) but I think scUM is still a mess, MSU always seems to disappoint in this kind of game, and Illinois has become a vastly overrated team that is playing a Missouri team that looks like the real deal.

I don't know about the impact of these games, but the B10 really sucks. We have one great team, a few middle of the packs and a bunch of shit. Our beloved conference's biggest win yesterday was against the 'Cuse???

To be fair it wasn't that bad. None of the teams got beaten badly.

Everyone was predicting a Missou blowout...and yet Juice Williams exposed that secondary and hung 42 on Missou.

MSU beat themselves. Blocked Punt for a TD, defensive TD, stupid penalties, etc...

and yet they still had a shot to tie/win the game in the final seconds in Cal territory on the road in a fairly hostile environment. MSU was no pushover and I think Cal will do decent in the Pac10 by finishing 3rd or 4th which is where I expect MSU to finish in the B10.

Was anyone really shocked to see Michigan lose to Utah? Almost every single ESPN Analyst called that one...

If tOSU wins out they will be in the NC game. If you lose to USC or anyone else, then I don't see it happening. Hope Beanie is good to go for the USC game because it will be a great game with both teams at 100%.

That's pretty much how I feel.

Of course I said the same thing last year so stranger things have happened.

I had a dream last night in which both Beanie & Sanchez were unable to finish the game... :(

I had a dream last night where me and Beanie were at a pizza shop in New York. We had just ordered when Petey's #1 jet arrived and landed right on the street! He yelled at Beanie "your going to miss the game, c'mon! I'll fly you guys out there". I looked at Beanie, and he could see it in my eyes that I didn't trust Petey, but Beanie reassured me that he could fly us to safety if Petey tried to kick us out at 30,000 feet. So, we get there, just in time for me to run back the opening kick-off 104 yards for the td. Cut to the second quarter, and Petey is soooo pissed because Beanie's just been tearing up his D all night. He knows it was a stupid fucking move to help Beanie get to this game, and he's right. Then, Mo Wells comes out of nowhere and just fucking slays Sanchez with a battle axe. That's when I woke up.

My region of rooting interest are more gooder than your region of rooting interest.

I'm with you on this one. I really don't get caught up in what SEC/B12/ACC/PAC10 fans say or what sportswriters say. It doesn't amount to a hill o beans if we win 'em all.

But, at this point in our very young season, I'm not impressed with our B10 play. After we take care of USC (positive thinking), we can only hope that our conference play will keep us ready to play another top foe in the NC game.
