Is there anyone with a better job in the USA today than daring Kirky F. of Iowa- Lord Puntor? Dude just wheels into town with garbage team year after year and collects a fat paycheck.

Iowa has him on some tenure system where he is guranteed like 30 million dollars lifetime just for showing up year after year on the sideline. What a sweet deal if you got the connections!

Wow this IU PSU game is just bad... blocked FG on the 12... Really?

 

PSU has no special teams or Oline..

I'm unsure which coaches you would be refering to.  Few can be considered good at this point, but the most of the others are newish hires. Ferentz isn't going anywhere.  Fitzgerald has been good for NW.  I don't know anything about Maryland or Rutgers and will continue to ignore them for the foreseeable future.

Let's examine the record

Fire -

1) Hoke

2) Beckman

3) Flood

 

Meh - (could go either way)

1) Hazell (only in year two)

2) Ferentz (if only because Iowa's having a decent season)

3) Pelini (because who else would they hire who's not a tire fire?)

4) Wilson (because not going 0-12 at Indiana is an accomplishment)

5) Fitzgerald (track record, also because Kyle Prater's stardom will elevate NW to victory)

6) Edsell (don't suck as badly as they used to)

 

Give em a raise -

1) Meyer

2) Dantonio

3) Franklin

4) Kill

5) Anderson

Too much speed and talent for OSU. OSU wins by 3 TDs. Nebraska and Wisconsin are more doable, but again they are on the road.

 

Minnesota is a fundamentally sound team that takes advantages of other teams gaffes. What they can't do is generate explosion plays or prevent them against teams with speed. I don't see how Minnesota will be able to score enough points without turnovers or specials teams tds to beat any of those teams. Their lack of speed on offense(and defense) really hurts them vs better teams.

It's really a very good thing that we're coming up on halftime down at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington, mainly because there are a lot of people who will need to wash out their eyes and/or deploy some syrup of Ipecac from all the #B1G that they are witnessing right now.

Holy Big Ten, Batman! PSU jumped offside to give IU a first down when IU had absolutely no intention of snapping the ball. That is the worst offside on 4th down I have ever seen.
