Big 10 Championship Game Open Thread
No meteors seem in the forecast in the greater Indiana area per NASA, so we'll be forced to watch our top 2 competitors in the East face off. Short of a 25+ pt blowout MSU is destined for the Rose, OSU is playing for the right to give up 60 pts to Florida State.
Have at it....

Great start for msu defense!
December 7th, 2013 at 8:39 PM ^
Round 1 goes to MSU. Three and out for OSU's offense.

There are a handfull of teams I really hate rooting for. The short list is OSU, MSU, ND, USC, FSU, Bama, & Okla. I really hate it when the world forces me to root for one of these teams just to keep OSU out of a national title. With that said go Sparty & Noles!
December 7th, 2013 at 8:42 PM ^
Why oklahoma- I have zero feelings about them, we never cross paths. I still remember FSU depantsing us in the early 90s. USC in Rose Bowls...but no real feel for Oklahoma.

I didn't go to UM, my Dad did. I was born in AA, but moved away when I was young. I became a fan from my parents. My parents were at the '76 Orange Bowl with UM vs Okla when UM got beat. So, I sorta inherited that one. My parents still cringe at the OU fight song. Plus, I lived in Texas for 10 years as a kid and sorta passively rooted for UT ever since, at least as far as Big 12 rooting interests goes. I personally really liked UT in the Major Applewhite, Chris Simms, Vince Young years (minus the '05 Rose Bowl) and OU was really good then too, so I pretty much hated them. Plus Stoops is an Ohio guy.
December 7th, 2013 at 8:40 PM ^
Perfect start for MSU, 3 and out.
December 7th, 2013 at 8:41 PM ^
December 7th, 2013 at 8:42 PM ^
Yeah because we LOVE OSU right??
December 7th, 2013 at 8:41 PM ^
That was a false start on Miller.
If he catches that and runs for the first down after he's moving foward at the snap...Sparty is going crazy.
That would be one hell of a play to be able to run forward at the snap.

December 7th, 2013 at 8:42 PM ^
Alright who else laughed at the pig in a blanket commercial?
December 7th, 2013 at 8:42 PM ^
You the same guy who's also posting on 24/7 tBB?

Announcer: "MSU disputes the loss to ND" ???? what???
December 7th, 2013 at 8:47 PM ^

December 7th, 2013 at 8:48 PM ^
pulling for them as well
It will be a great thing for Michigan if MSU wins. It will force David Brandon's hand on the Hoke issue and he will have to go ut and find a coach that can lead us back from mediocrity
December 7th, 2013 at 8:46 PM ^
Laying the wood tonight.
Pretty impressed so far.
December 7th, 2013 at 8:46 PM ^
That's the only way you're going to truly beat those guys.
December 7th, 2013 at 8:56 PM ^
I quickly felt the desire rise for an Ohio loss, with the smug Meyers, the talk of not losing for two years. This is a game about whether Ohio is great. No matter, MSU had a great year. No matter MSU will go to the Rose Bowl. The only great loss here will be when Ohio loses.
yelp. go green. yelp. go white.

Every time Cook throws the ball, it looks like it's gonna get picked.
December 7th, 2013 at 8:48 PM ^
FWIW down here in Ohio my Michigan flag is still proudly flying from my flagpole. I'm known to all my neighbors as "that Michigan flag guy".
And proud of it.
December 7th, 2013 at 8:51 PM ^
of the flotation devices?
December 7th, 2013 at 8:56 PM ^
Thank you for doing that. I have lived in the Northeast for quite some time. Unfortunatley I see more OSU fans than UM fans. Every single one of them annoys the living heck out of me. I can't imagine what you must go through.
December 7th, 2013 at 8:50 PM ^
December 7th, 2013 at 8:51 PM ^
Hyde's ability to get 5-7 yards nearly ever run is amazing.
December 7th, 2013 at 8:53 PM ^
having that OLine helps, but I agree
December 7th, 2013 at 8:58 PM ^
December 7th, 2013 at 8:52 PM ^
December 7th, 2013 at 8:53 PM ^
It drives me nuts when coaches are on the sideline saying there should be a flag
December 7th, 2013 at 8:54 PM ^
We need to slap the slippery fish..RIGHT IN THE GILL HOLE!
December 7th, 2013 at 8:56 PM ^
December 7th, 2013 at 8:55 PM ^
December 7th, 2013 at 8:55 PM ^
December 7th, 2013 at 8:59 PM ^
that feeling is building so strongly with me.
The only great loss here would be for Ohio. If MSU loses, what do they lose? They still go to the Rose Bowl. They can't gloat as much. I don't know. I worry slightly about their recruiting benefits. But really, they've been "better" on the field for a few years. Winning the B1G won't really add to that.
OSU? Sheeeeeet. Just give Urban his loss. Not Championship game. That is something to cheer for!
December 7th, 2013 at 8:56 PM ^
Braxton Miller is not a very good passer. Just underthrew a wide open TD.
December 7th, 2013 at 8:56 PM ^
Yeah well I don't like Sparty but I am loving watching them make Miller eat carpet dust...
December 7th, 2013 at 8:56 PM ^
December 7th, 2013 at 8:56 PM ^
so thats what a playmaking defense looks like. Sorta cool.
December 7th, 2013 at 8:57 PM ^
Ohio is getting way too cute. Hyde has gotten 5+ yards every carry but they seem on a quest to prove Miller is a Heisman Trophy-caliber QB, which he is not.
December 7th, 2013 at 8:58 PM ^
True that. Urban is an arrogant ass.
December 7th, 2013 at 8:57 PM ^
December 7th, 2013 at 8:57 PM ^
OSU is bonehead central tonight
December 7th, 2013 at 8:57 PM ^
December 7th, 2013 at 8:57 PM ^
Oh and another DUMB ASS buckeye play. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay! GO TEAM!
December 7th, 2013 at 8:57 PM ^
starting to self-destruct.
