Wow what a joke

8-9 in the box, you know Wiscy is going to run it and still no defense.

Boy, I hope someone has the chance to hang 70 on Wisky.

Not really. They are running

Not really. They are running the ball every play. It is up to Nebraska to stop them. Running up the score would be calling 4 Verts every time.

They have their starters in the game.

One game is highlighted because the point differential is worse than Wisconsin - Nebraska. You may not like Wisconsin, but they are winning with Michigan style Manball.

Not the same thing.
Not the same thing.
Most of those teams would be the modern day equivalent of Eastern Michigan back in the days of te Big Two. And Illinois WAS running up the score because they fired Moeller and hired a cheater.

Yep. And their 93, 98 and 99
Yep. And their 93, 98 and 99 Rose Bowl teams each missed playing one of the top teams in the conference. And this year, they get the title simply because 2 teams who finished higher than them in their division were not eligible.
Go Blue! Always!

In the 1995 national championship game, Florida gave up 62 to Nebraska. That's got to be #2. (I'm hoping Notre Dame loses by a similar score)

You know what bothers me?
next year we'll probably beat ohio at home and then have to beat them again the next fucking week.
Move that game to the 1st week of Nov please, jump on board people, it's not fair to either program to have to beat the other twice in a row like could happen often here in the very near future.

Instead of ditching 80 years of tradition of playing it at the end of the season, why not just put the two schools in the same division?
