I actually really enjoyed that read! Thanks for sharing!

I say we don't lose a home game next year. So that would mark you down as putting the hurt on the Buckeyes and either wisky or MSU, not sure which one of those two you have at home. Idk about the Buckeye game but at the same time i could very well see that happening since you'll already have everyone jelling together and we will have that "controversy"

Texas to go independent? Might as well team up with ND and make an "independent" conference lol

This is true, I was just moreso curious about which one you guys think you have the best probability of winning against seeing as how the last couple posters agree on at least one win.

Which of those first three do you guys see team winning against? MSU?

Actually, I could see him excelling in your program. He seems like a pretty good fit for you guys. You'd have to bulk him up a bit because he didn't exactly last his first run through the Big Ten injury free

Well three days left and they all still are true to their word about coming back. Won't be official 'til the 16th correct?

He doesn't really have a choice but to stay. Number one if he goes, he spurns ALL of buckeye nation. It's bad enough to sell your gold pants and Big Ten championship rings. The backlash from that was already severe. It would increase tenfold if he opts out and goes back on his word. Not only that but he in the eyes of NFL scouts is still "raw" he's got the tools physically but the decision making skills aren't quite there and his mechanics still are no where close to up to snuff. He's made improvement by leaps and bounds the past 3 years but it's still not enough. Picture Teblow but less hype so more or less 3rd round at best if I remember right.

REALLY??? No respect among teams? Ah yes - you must be talking about the fact that most Big 10 fans don't cheer for each other during non-conference and bowl games. What? Oh yeah I guess that is the Big 12 not the Big 10. You must be talking about the fact that our coaches try to help out the competition during bowl season. What? That is the Big 12 again and not the Big 10? Hmm. Maybe the fact that FOR THE MOST PART as much %^&* as we throw at each other we still band together against the outside world and take the approach of "it doesn't matter how much trash I talk about them they are family and you better just watch what you say about them?" attitude? Yeah - NOW you are talking Big 10. Even most Michigan and Ohio State fans will begrudgingly admit that they want the other to win the non-con and bowl games. This.

And we all love how all of your skill/talent players will be ubber fresh, like as if they are playing their first game of the year or something, when ya'll come to Lincoln next year. Heh this is very true. Along with that freshness comes the rust but that won't be a factor going into the game. The media will probably make it seem that way but I believe it'll still be a hard fought game. I can't wait to see Crick come after Pryor and see the results! The tat5 will definitely try their best to come out blazing to make up for all the time they missed.

Generally those two seem to have the most amount of "fans" as it goes. They would definitely get a much more positive response than Leaders and Legends did...

Can't really give you an unbiased feel about how good my buckeyes are but I expect you to have a TOUGH match up with us. MSU, They are a Dr. Jekyll Mr. Hyde team. They will either play a very tough run game when their run game is firing on all cylinders and Cousins doesn't have to do too much or Cousins will literally throw you the game with his poor decision making sometimes. Wisky will just line up and pound it down your throats all day long with the occasional play action pass so your line should definitely bring their party hats to this game

Feel free to play with the Pollstalker tool on the left side. It can change between AP poll and BCS and Harris and all the other polls.

Honestly I like the idea of the Great Lakes and the Great Plains division names. You can put just about any team in either one of those.

Thanks, I'm excited to see how they do week in and week out. I love how your line should be fresh going into conference play so we should see their best efforts not so hindered by the end of conference play fatigue/injuries. I'll be sure to take note of how well your line matches up against Wisky's line the most and then tOSU followed by Iowa. Those are going to be your three biggest offensive line threats. Nerdwestern, Indiana and Illinois will test your secondaries for sure.

What should the rest of the Big Ten know about this guy?

Well played. A little cold weather for a couple hours never hurt anyone. Especially not 100+ thousand people yelling and screaming cheering their team on. If nutty ass buckeye fans can jump in mirror lake in sub-freezing temperatures at midnight then i'm sure we (and everyone else) can handle a cold weather game at night.

Ah I completely forgot about the no November night game rule. It seems really hindering. What's the point of that rule again?

OSU is just now getting with the program on getting permanent lighting for the Shoe so this means more night games. Before they were "renting" the light fixtures which ran them about 20grand per GAME, hence the lack of night games. Also I think with you folks joining the Big Ten, now there are more opportunities for prime time night match ups in the conference so I think the number of night games goes up now by quite a bit.

If Miller or even Guiton take the field then I'm pretty confident that tOSU will be just fine, problem is that there's this guy named Joe Bauserman on the roster and if he gets the nod solely because of the amount of time and experience as a backup, then we are in BIG trouble. The guy doesn't have what it takes to make a play out of nothing as consistently as the rest of our QB roster and he makes the most boneheaded throws. If he plays extended amounts of minutes, you better believe that we don't go 5-0 with him under center.

He had a not so gracious exit from the program but he helped put Ohio State at the elite level and also his Ten Year war with M*ch*g*n/Bo help boost the rivalry into the greatest rivalry in all sports.

Ah thanks, already getting too wrapped up in myself lol Hurry up and adjust to being part of the BigTen so I don't look so foolish anymore!

Yes I am. I'm actually from Columbus so right here in the home of the Buckeyes.

If by Okie Lite you mean Ohio State then if I recall correctly, top 5 nationally I believe and 1 or 2 in the conference.
