Ha...pretty sure if your first major move as new conference commish costs that conferences 500 million dollars or more AND helps destroy the local economies of a few conference members...that you will get canned.

There's no right answer here. The B1G was just the first to act.

the MAC was!

Doesn’t exactly help with covid/no season currently 

Heritage and legacy don't seem to matter anymore. How hard must it be to recruit when your trying to sell culture.  And honestly, Pelini was right, trying to sell Lincoln is pretty tough when you're up against beaches and warm weather and agents in hot tubs.  I said it in a thread and got crap on by the condoling crowd- but I'll take kids that want to play ball so bad that they'll sue over a five star that will bolt or sit.  And I don't give a rip about their NFL "potental."  What a waste of resources.  There has got to be enough talent in a 500-1000 miles to field a team, and throw in the diamond's in the rough-like Suh.  

@Decked Oh I understand why we're seeing a bunch of frosh transferring before they've even suited up for us. I still don't like the way it works nowadays. I much preferred the days when the players, to a much greater extent, honored their commitments and at least pretended to have some pride and school spirit. It's really nothing more than a business now. It may not be a popular opinion but the last thing I wanted CFB to become was just another pseudo professional league. Transfer portal, NIL concerns....I don't like what it's become or where it's going. Sure the schools have made a pretty penny on their backs but it's only downhill from here, The more autonomy and bigger slice of the pie they get, will get, the more they also will need to be treated as a dispensible commodity. People b!^@h about the way Saban does things but I don't blame him one bit, Bama was just ahead of the curve. It's just what the game is becoming and that's not the game I grew to love.

Weird how being held responsible makes a big difference

Wilbon gets a garbage time carry, Ozigbo gets player of the game. Value of hard work.

Zigbo’s hard work has paid off big time. 

TCU gets an automatic loss with those atrociously ugly uniforms today.  Too bad for JD.

But he was in two different schemes while here.

I thought a true rebuild took 5 years tho 

Yeah, I been watching the Buffs from afar every since the Husker game.  CU was looking pretty good back in Sept.  at 3-1.  Then they forgot how to win.  Dropped five in a row.  Now they suck.  LOL   I don't follow their recruiting.  

Good point, Waldo. Because someone made an offhand comment on a message board, it must be fact to live life by.

Ehhhh...Minny sucks, Iowa is lame, Purdue is horrible, NW sucks, Nebraska sucks, MSU sucks, Indiana is lame, Rutgers is horrible, MD is lame as f#&%...

So you play CMU, EMU and Ark State...3-0 or 2-1.  With the Army offense they can pick up 3-4 more wins in conference.  Hell army took Michigan to OT like 3 years ago.

Minny won 10 games, iowa about 9 a year, Purdue is way better than they used to, NW sucks recently, Indiana is pretty good, Rutgers, N, & Maryland are bad. I still don’t see it. You won’t be playing Rutgers & Maryland every year with Illinois in the West. 

Those teams are all the same...they all are average.  Illinois, with a triple option offense vs teams that suck, are going to be just fine.  Just like GT was when they ran it in the acc...82 wins in 11 seasons.  ACC is lame compared to the BT so...knock it down to 62 wins in 11 seasons and it is still better than anything then the Illini have seen since Zook.

Per Sam McKewon 

I'm not sure how to react to losing him.  

Apparently that's all they needed.  I didn't see the game, but the score indicates they did ok.   

They pounded GT! 

Shoulda seen that one coming 

@Decked - I feel you brother. My age, coupled with the absolute ho hum efforts of our men's athletes and their "I'm entitled attitudes" is rapidly turning me off. (turning me off is probably not the right words, more like "you reap what you sow" so if our athletes are sowing uninteresting effort then I'll reap back a numbingly bored interest.)

Watched it all and I liked it a lot better then every season but I guess the first EMCC (probably because it was the first season and not well known, so it felt more "real"). The coach is so much more likable the Buddy or JB, the players are so much more grounded (though the only one I especially like was Dior) as the player's expectations were much more realistic (really only one guy was guaranteed D1 with the other ones besides RJ looking more towards using football as an avenue to get any type of scholarship for more schooling to better their lives instead of thinking D1/P5 or bust).

But we've got the heart now. Love SMJ calling for the ball before our last score. We should have gave it to him , but we still scored.

They have the players to win, they need near flawless execution to win now and  depth in the future to win against elite talent. OSU is not playing elite and their best statistical games are against teams with a combined 4 wins. 

He saw them kick tOSU's a$$, that's pretty sweet!

purdue has to have two red butt cheeks after this spanking 

Yeah, if Riley came back maybe he'd bring back the players he took with him.  So there's that. 

@JJ Husker Brandon Reilly?

Crootin’ is a cold mistress.

Last year, Minny was Maryland in that game.  

I agree with that. I can see the targeting call but not the ejection in this case.....not the ejection in a lot cases. But I also think the refs have enough on their plate without trying to judge intent. I don't have an answer other than to say "that's football" and people are going to have to accept some level of violence. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) I probably won't get my way.

That hurt bad.

It sucks but if you can't hit right then you need to learn your lesson. If Skalski kept his head up and put his facemask into the shoulder that would have been entirely legal. Keep your head up!!

What are HBCUs/HCBUs?

@BigRedBuster I think this is referencing historically black colleges and universities.

We should be more mindful and fair about word choice here, though. Some 'smaller sports media sites on Twitter' is not the same as or equivalent to "the media." It's important to eliminate these kinds of narratives because they're fabulously generic and unfair.

I just figured every sports media member in the country got on a conference call or Zoom & collectively decided to steer kids to HBCUs. Now you're telling me it's just a couple of local sports writers and not all media folks, everywhere?

So disillusioned.

True 

I'm confused as to how those two losing affects someone's feelings about us not playing.  But....to each their own.

Saturday just sucked all the way around without a game and seeing everyone else playing.

@BigRedBuster It's not confusing, it's always semi-enjoyable watching teams you don't like lose. So, I guess if we're not playing, we have to find consolation where we can.

Also liked seeing Iowa lose...

Great, now drinking Saturday mornings will no longer be socially acceptable.  

@teachercd, do you expect us to believe your morning drinking has been social before now?

@teachercd your consumption will go down.  No drinking away a 50 point curb stomping by night.  

I guess the emoji in the status didn’t imply that it was a joke...

However that dance is an L 

I did that big brother/big sisters program a few years back and my "little" is now 18. The amount of cringe worthy stuff he does on social media almost makes me forget all the crap I did at 18. While I get you are joking, many took to Twitter to just destroy the kid when he was just acting like a lot of 18 year olds.

If you don’t wanna get made fun of don’t post dorky content I suppose 

Now that you wrote "tranny fluid" in one of your comments above, don't you realize what kind of ads BigRedMax's server is going to start sending us???

@ZRod there are of course expensive parts in an electric vehicle, but it's mostly the battery. Motors are not that expensive when compared to an internal combustion engine or transmission.

But in general electric vehicles have fewer maintenance requirements and lower maintenance costs: https://avt.inl.gov/sites/default/files/pdf/fsev/compare.pdf

@Ulty what. Have. I. Done. 

I will assume it is due to his position in the depth chart. He probably came here to start, and to me, this implies he was not going to. Unless, it's for non-football, personal reasons.

The joke is that he is going to be at yet another school.  Wherever he goes will be his 5th school already.

Kentucky

I hope the guys ok.

Dude, I love Vitaly. Im subscribed to his channel. But that was fake.

He has some pretty funny videos.
