Damn Miami twice and Clemson twice since joining the B1G. Would be nice to switch up some opponents, but we'll probably draw BC at home next year. In any case they were a sweet 16 team last year, but not sure what they return.

HUGE. I'm honestly just as excited for basketball season as I am football right now.

Take him. Honestly after all the bulls#!t we've gone through for 20 YEARS, I don't care if we become thug u to win national titles. We bitch and moan about how the SEC is constantly cheating and while it's known, they still have the last laugh flaunting title rings. I'm sure it's a hell of a good time to be a fan of those top programs and I want that feeling.

Exactly. And who really believes that he would care if someone who doesn't sniff time leaves? POB would be 4th or 5th string and based on their model of giving them less reps, how useful is he anyways? And if the argument is depth in case of injuries, that would mean 4 QBs injured in the same season. Which would be a fluke and the season would be scrapped at that point anyways.

I don't hope POB fails, but he needs to transfer. He will not get a chance to start during his career here. He's a good player, just doesn't fit the offense AS WELL as Martinez or Gebbia. I personally think Martinez gets the reins and starts all 4 years. He fits the offense the best and Scott has already proven he will start true freshman. And it's his prized recruit.

Down 10-4 against a team that is 7-19 overall. Woof. Year 7 guys.

This feels like 2015 all over again. Bring back basically the entire bulk of production this year with high expectations.

Sorry yo

20 year anniversary of no conference titles being next year.

Same. I personally don't buy it. Wouldn't be shocked to see Cope leave with his situation, however (23 & already graduated). I think it would be hard to justify canning Miles after this year. But, if Palmer & Cope plan on leaving, this team will be trash next year and the admin will already know this. And it could be enough to show that we haven't been able to form chemistry with any team when our decent players keep leaving. So what's an extra year going to do for Miles when next years team will prove his fate anyways.

Strictly reporting what I've read off another paid board. Sounds like Cope and Palmer are gone. Dana Altman is the popular name for a return as it sounds like Miles won't be returning, mentions issues with the way he treats his players. Take it FWIW as I am just posting cross board content.

Nebraska

Just get it over with and into spring football

I worry from Miles press conference where he mentions not knowing how the team will respond. While that is the obvious truth you probably wanted to hear something more along the lines of we will have then ready and excited to extend our season. In any case the best scenario is for Miss St to come out talking trash. Regardless of the stakes if it becomes personal it's motivation.

We also jumped out to like a 20 point lead in the 1st half. Went cold in the 2nd half and let them back in. Plus we were awful in the beginning of the year until our guys started to mesh. I'm sure the same could be said about MS State. Motivation is the only thing that will determine a win or not. We are the better team and I hope we play angry. This team has been fun to watch and I'm not ready for it to be over.

I unfortunately don't think we get in, but we would make history (wrong side) in doing so with all 61 B1G teams with 13 conference games getting in. Also no watch party like 2014, which obviously means there isn't any confidence. I just hope these guys all return and have a special year next year. I'm heading rumblings of cope wanting to go overseas but I think that would be a dumb move on his part.

Would have liked a drive on that last possession but down 10 is better than 18 or worse. Settle down. Start the half with a run and get within 5 by the under 16

We are in big trouble if Michigan shoots consistent like this. I was worried they wouldn't shoot poorly 2 straight games

MGOBLOG thinking Michigan is the lock of the day. Do we pump sunshine or we more rational around here? If roles were reversed and we went to OT with fn Iowa and then had them, I think we'd all be saying how nervous we are and could go either way. Not them. They are gonna blow us out apparently. Just like last time right? Please shut those fools up.

Texas getting smashed and proves again that Nebraska belongs in this tourney and teams like Texas shouldn't even be on the last 4 out let alone in the tourney. ESPN pushing how good Big 12 is and almost making a case for why a 7-11 Texas in conference deserves a bid. What a joke.

No chance Roby leaves. He's probably accessed about 50% of his potential. Dude is going to be a freak next year after another offseason. If he stays his senior year he could be 1st team B1G. He needs to focus on foul trouble. I don't think we need to worry about transfers of anyone significant this year. Those guys all left last year because they wouldn't sniff the floor with JPJ, Cope, Roby, etc. JPJ is the only one you'd have to worry about going pro but I highly doubt it. We should be scary good next year, just can't pull a this year northwestern or 2015 Nebraska.

Friday can't come fast enough.

I think we can all agree the next few weeks waiting are going to be miserable.

I took Friday off work. Hope it's worth it.
