You’re right – I was thinking more middle of the bowl teams for some reason.

#4 Wisc lost by 4 to SEC East champs (and almost SEC champs) UT
#5 PennSt beat a crap Texas A&M team
#6 Iowa didn’t play in a bowl
#7 Purdue sucked but held serve against a MAC team
#8 MSU lost by 4 to ACC #2 Boston College
#9, 10, 11 are there for a reason, just like every conference

The middle went 2-2 with 1-DNP. Given the match-ups I’d say the middle did fine – it was tOSU and Illinois that let the conference down.

How do you gauge the middle/bottom of a conference anyway?

Q: Three teams never win a game in their conference – who’s better?
A: Who cares?
Q: Well, wait a minute – the teams are Ole Miss, Baylor, Duke, and Minnesota – so who is it?
A: Ole Miss. (shrug)

Sorry to make a big deal, but the post sounded like another pot-shot at the Big Ten put just casually enough – and repeated ad nauseum – that people believe it without thinking. That, and the one game I root for you guys you let me down.

Or, uh… HEY, EVRAHBODAY QUITS YAH HOLLERIN AHBOW USN NAUTHN TIMS. AWRUN BAD TIMS IS AS TUFF AS YUR BAD TIMS.

If Brewster needs a trip to the moon, I’m sure we’ll pony up for it. I just hope he brings a recruit back that doesn’t get shot in the leg.

There’s plenty of watering holes in downtown Lincoln anyway:

Anyways, bars are banned now, assholes.

(Shudders, shame.)

We said the middle and the bottom. But sure, you’ve got a hammer, go ahead and swing. They’re all nails!

ps Goddamn you Gator secondary.

#2 in the conference is hardly the middle of the shit pile. That would be where Michigan finished.

Petrino don’t play.
