Something Clever

Just keep feeding the backs Beck

Purdue just doesn't do much of anything very well

Very much a basketball school, always has been

wow, that was terrible

Offense is at it's best when it keeps things simple

Just stay with the run Beck, they can't stop it

ugh, hopefully it's nothing serious

They have considered it, due to less than stellar attendance in Indy the first 2 years. Nothing set yet tho

Good: BTN Even Sharing of revenue Ditching "Legends and Leaders" Crap Remaining aggressive in conference realignment (so as not the let the conference fall behind) Bad: Low pay for assistant coaches (getting better though) Crap officiating And yes, too many early games

Nebraska 52-17 Purdue Michigan State 27-21 Indiana Michigan 31-20 Penn State Northwestern 41-38 Wisconsin

The conference is likely to put 7 teams in the dance this year, would love to see 7 wins but it seems like wishful thinking...

The idea that since we joined the Big Ten the Texas well will dry up doesn't hold up in my mind. Texas is the single biggest hotbed of talent in the nation, any major program should be able to tap it even without direct conference access. The idea that Texan recruits have no interest in playing teams like Iowa and Minnesota may be true to a certain extent, but what about our past successes tapping California? I doubt kids from SoCal grew up dreaming of playing K State back in the day (or even Texas or Oklahoma for that matter). Winning is what kids are mostly interested in. We win the conference (certainly doable), win ourselves a Rose Bowl (just saying that cheers me up) and BOOM, our national profile is restored (at least in the short term). We have similar problems to those of Notre Dame and Tennessee, poor local recruiting bases that force us to recruit nationally. But look at what a little success has done in South Bend recruit-wise. Winning solves recruiting problems, just look at how A&M has gotten the jump on Texas. It's not just the SEC recruits are interested in, it's the Aggies recent run coupled with how medicore the Longhorns have been.

Great game, could have gone to either team. Not looking forward to seeing Mark again tho

Oh give me a break...
