How do you guy feel about the #3 ranking in the conference? Do you feel you should be higher/lower/stay the same? Or do you feel you need a full years crash course of actually playing in the conference to really get a full grasp?

Suh hands down. Suh was aggressive and incredible! Fairley was just dirty...

Very very interesting story. Glad to see his pride!

Lol good catch! I didn't realize I put horizontal, definitely meant Vertical since the perception outside the big ten is that we all run offenses that are highly outdated.

He's a list of "experts" and how they voted for you at the end of the season http://www.pollspeak.com/pollstalker/pollstalker.php?r=T&s=13&p=26&w=16&t1=63&t2=0&v=0 Most common ranking is 20 so take that for what it's worth.

This. End of story.

Not the same. OSU has been winning Big Ten championships and going to BCS bowl games throughout this decade. Nebraska went to 2. All early in the 2000s. Maybe not the same but we still feel the same amount of anxiety knowing that Tress is calling the plays. Not sure if you guys are familiar with the term, "Tresselball" but it has agonized Buckeye nation for a decade and yes it has it benefits but it has a side effect of severe headaches, nausea, anxiety, and frustration all of which you endure for hours at a time every saturday.

Shawn Watson is your O-Coordinator? Jim Tressel is know for his lethargic playcalling at times too. We just lost our creative spark Darrell Hazell(sp?) to Kent State to become their new head coach so us buckeyes know your pain.

Every school has their d-bag fans but I'm thinking more than likely it'll be like you guys have said earlier. Probably tOSU and/or Wisky. In terms of lining up and running it down your throats, Wisky all the way. In terms of overall respect from coaches and players and playing a fun clean game with a great atmosphere from the stadium, your best bet is tOSU. Wisky stadiums have a bad habit of having people escorted out because of their misconduct. Not to mention having their band suspended... I wouldn't expect too much respect from Penn State fans, they barely have any respect for their own team.

Holy hell.. I've seen some dirty plays but wow that's gruesome! I'll be looking forward the most to the showdown between Ohio State and Nebraska. I can't wait to see how the Cornhuskers match up with the flagship program of the conference. My second favorite match up is NU and Wisky, they are about as physical as it gets with OSU and Iowa right behind them. How do you guys think you'll fare against the top 3 in the Big Ten? I noticed you have quite the warm welcome when BigTen play starts with your first 3 games being against all three co-champion last year. That'll be brutal if you ask me. Any guesses on your record after those first three? I highly doubt 3-0 but that would be a hell of a way to introduce yourselves to the BigTen!

Yeah, I watched a couple of the NU games this season and damn you guys got ousted in horrible ways. I even caught myself getting heated watching the games pulling even harder for you

Not sure if anyone else has welcomed you yet so I thought I'd take it upon myself to be sure so here goes; WELCOME TO THE MOTHER FREAKIN' BIG TEN! Get ready for smash mouth football and sh*tty referee's Be prepared for grind it out football where the horizontal pass is almost a forgotten feature Get your first-aid kits and bandages stocked up because every week is a fight for your life Better come prepared to fight tooth and nail for every yard gained because there will be 11 hungry men looking to welcome you not with handshakes but with brutal shoulder charges to the chest, wash rinse repeat. Leave your grandma's china hidden and locked away because your new conference brethren are coming to steamroll through your house with a warm painful welcome to the Big Ten. Welcome aboard Huskers, You'll fit in real nice.
