Since the college football season starts this week I was curious as to what the odds for the Big Ten were. The Huskers are somewhat in the mix, but do you think they were given the right odds? I guess depending on your perspective we will hear both sides. The link can be found here: http://www.docsports...tball-odds.html

Looking back at these teams gets me so fired up for the season! Not long now...

When you think that way teams will sneak up on you. The Big Ten has always been a league that can produce upsets every weekend, no matter the team.

I happened to see MSU's preview last night on Big Ten Network. I would have to saw that their lack of experience at quarterback may give them problems, but their defense looks geared up. They seem to be a squad who believes in more than they can actually produce, which translates well on the field. However, I don't see them causing any fits for us this year; we will handle them in the same manner as we did a year ago.

Of course Tebow had to be in there....

I completely agree with you. Current sporting news is it for them. They can even botch that sometimes as coverage is beat to death for no reason at all, e.g., Tebow. That's why I tend to watch ESPNEWS when I just want to catch some highlights or anything big because usually I don't have time for them to waste time on what they think is important.

Agreed...unless he has some unbelievable games in primetime or against top-rated teams. You're right, he doesn't have that "flash" that others have this year and in years past. He's just a workhorse that gets the job done.

I think we will be fine in Columbus. These are big games between these schools and there has been no hatred started yet. Going to the game and tailgating will be fun, but just like some other people have said I would stay away from the bars. Too many people get cramed inside and lots of alcohol is consumed. That's just a breeding ground for trouble...

I think that is it...they created a 'new' image in East Lansing with Dantonio. People and the media look at them differently now; they are not the football program they used to be under the last couple of coaches (it was a train wreck). With that said and the seasons they have had the last two years, they are getting recognized more and more nationally. I can't wait to see how they respond to our thrashing of them last year.....

Minnesota could definitely surprise some team this season. When you have a mobile QB your options are more open and defensive gameplans could be a scatch. They played Sparty pretty tough last year at their house and I'm confident they will bring it again this year in a more consistent manor.
