Fuck Illinois.
December 9th, 2020 at 12:14 AM ^
Well I think Illinois is the one going to be doing most of the fucking this year. They're really good.
December 8th, 2020 at 11:55 PM ^
Yes. Just goes to show you how strong the Bigten has become. The Bigten has dominated this series for awhile now. Even with the expansion of the ACC, the Bigten has still dominated.
December 9th, 2020 at 8:15 AM ^
The B1G is going to be a bloodbath this year. 7 or 8 teams will be in the thick of it. Wouldn't want to wager on a champion right now.
December 8th, 2020 at 11:58 PM ^
Nice.
I didn't see the MSU game is cancelled.
The B1G is pretty ridiculous this year.
December 9th, 2020 at 12:01 AM ^
Do you guys ever get a craving for like, a turkey sandwich sometimes late at night? I could go for one right now.
December 9th, 2020 at 12:06 AM ^
No, but I really want a grilled corned beef reuben with cheese, sauerkraut and thousand island dressing.
December 9th, 2020 at 4:49 AM ^
Isn't that like saying, I would like a turkey club with turkey, cheese bacon and mayo?
December 9th, 2020 at 12:07 AM ^
Shredded roast chicken from grocery store, mix with Tostitos queso, microwave. Spread on a warm tortilla. Add hot sauce or sour cream or salsa or whatever you like, roll up for a cheesy chicken burrito.
Or a bowl of sweet sugary kids cereal.
Now I’m hungry

I like your style, Jaws, and I think we're speaking the same language.
December 9th, 2020 at 3:21 AM ^
Is the language stoned guy?

Bill Walton.
December 9th, 2020 at 7:35 AM ^
Now, the Bill Walton - English dictionary is a rollercoaster of a read, just so everyone is aware....
December 9th, 2020 at 12:09 AM ^
after winning like the first 8 challenges, i think the acc has only won 2 out of the last 12; with a few ties sprinkled in.
December 9th, 2020 at 12:02 PM ^
ACC won the first 10. They are 2-7-3 since (including this year)
December 9th, 2020 at 12:34 PM ^
Fun fact, while in the ACC, Maryland had a 10-5 (.667) record in the challenge. Since joining the B1G, they are 1-5 (.167)
December 9th, 2020 at 12:18 AM ^
Every starter for Iowa has been on that team for 8 years.
December 9th, 2020 at 12:21 AM ^
The disgusting thing is only two of them are seniors and they both could technically come back next year
December 9th, 2020 at 12:30 AM ^
To be honest, I'm not really worried about them come NCAA tournament time.
I'll never forget when I picked them to win my NCAA pool a long time ago when they had like 5 seniors starting and were like 30-2 or something just insane. They lost to a 14/15 seed (think it was Northwestern State, this is completely off memory and I'm too lazy to google). They had a dude named Adam Haluska who could play some serious hoops.
Ol' Fran is good at building up early season pub, winning some good games during the season, and launching his team out of a cannon when it matters most.
December 9th, 2020 at 12:34 AM ^
You are right - Northwestern State. I was at that game, it was at The Palace.
December 9th, 2020 at 8:38 AM ^
To be fair, that was five years before Fran was on the scene in Iowa City (Hello, Steve Alford!). OTOH, he has definitely earned his rep for having teams who fade down the stretch and come up small in the postseason.
Okay so maybe Iowa just likes hiring coaches who shrink when it matters most.
December 9th, 2020 at 10:51 AM ^
Fran had the same ties when he coached UNCG....
December 9th, 2020 at 4:51 AM ^
Are they doing that for basketball this year also?
December 9th, 2020 at 6:22 AM ^
All Fall and Winter sports for the 2020-21 sports season are not counting eligibility. Haven’t announced anything for 2021 spring sports yet.
December 9th, 2020 at 2:17 AM ^
They grow ‘em slower on the farm.
December 9th, 2020 at 12:36 AM ^
This is huge for Michigan and the rest of the Big Ten. With the limited non-conference schedule, these wins matter even more than usual. At this point, as long as Michigan finishes .500 or better in-conference, you'd think they're in.
December 9th, 2020 at 1:52 AM ^
The B1G has ELEVEN teams in the top 50 of the NET, TWELVE in the top 56.
December 9th, 2020 at 8:49 AM ^
I don't believe the initial NET rankings have been released yet. Guessing those are last season's numbers, though I agree that the B1G is going to be well represented when they are.
December 9th, 2020 at 1:37 AM ^
Check out Penn State walloping 15th ranked VA Tech by 20. That was unexpected. The Big Ten truly is loaded from top to bottom this year. Illinois looks pretty damn good but definitely a down year for Duke.
The ACC as a whole definitely looks down. The National Champion should come from the Big Ten, Big Twelve, or Gonzaga this year. No other teams look particularly capable.
December 9th, 2020 at 8:45 AM ^
Definitely surprised at how PSU dominated VT but it was also ridiculous that VT was ranked #15. Yes, they beat Nova in OT on a neutral court but their other three wins were over total zeroes. I think they're going to be like last year's team that popped MSU in Maui and then ended up a .500 outfit only because they had a pathetically easy non-con slate (aside from their Maui games).
December 9th, 2020 at 3:21 AM ^
Got Stomped.
December 9th, 2020 at 6:59 AM ^
Rutgers beating Syracuse is *Chef's Kiss"
December 9th, 2020 at 7:43 AM ^
Want to go to a happy place? Look at the details here:
Here, I'll save you some time:
"Tuesday's loss was in rare air: it's the first time in 38 years Duke has lost two nonconference games at home, the last being 1982-1983, when Coach K was in his third season."
December 9th, 2020 at 10:17 AM ^
My god I just realized that coach K has been coaching at Duke longer than I have been alive.
December 9th, 2020 at 8:20 AM ^
Illinois looks like the clear best team in the Big Ten. Iowa is great offensively, but not great on defense. MSU is a clear 3rd to me. Wisconsin is a little further back to me. Ohio State and Rutgers are solid teams. Penn State is better than I thought they'd be, we belong in a group with them and Purdue.
December 9th, 2020 at 9:02 AM ^
Jesus, the B1G this year is insane. Michigan might be good this year and not even come close to competing for a conference title.
