Big Ten Division/7pm Program Open Thread
September 1st, 2010 at 6:31 PM ^
It seems like everytime I turn on BTN it's always about the Hawkeyes now.
September 1st, 2010 at 6:48 PM ^
Concede lists it as the Bill Lynch Show.
September 1st, 2010 at 6:50 PM ^
Comcast. Stupid Apple auto-correct.
September 1st, 2010 at 6:51 PM ^
I think it got it right.
September 1st, 2010 at 6:29 PM ^
Everyone cover your nuts; the hits are going to come fast and hard.
September 1st, 2010 at 6:30 PM ^
Yeah Kirk Ferentz is getting a lot of love on BTN these days.
September 1st, 2010 at 6:31 PM ^
That blue button below people's posts says "reply." Please use it.

If they do mention alignments in terms of sports other than football, someone please drop me a comment. No BTN here. Rumors are basketball will stay division-less, which one would hope based off the group of death. But other Olympic sports would be great to know about if they mention it.
Thanks.
September 1st, 2010 at 6:35 PM ^
Definitely hoping for no divisions in basketball.
September 1st, 2010 at 7:03 PM ^
MSU never loses division?
September 1st, 2010 at 7:13 PM ^
Divsions are football only.
September 1st, 2010 at 7:18 PM ^
He did mention that they would look into pods for Olympic sports, perhaps allowing them to expand their conference schedules further.
September 1st, 2010 at 6:41 PM ^
I don't get the people complaining about possibly having to play TUOS twice a year. If we have to play them a second time it means we've had a really nice season. I also believe its much tougher to play @ camp randall and @ happy valley then it is to go to Iowa or Nebraska. Definitely agree that the bottom of the division is stronger on our side but after we show the world Michigan is back, none of tha will matter. I'm so pumped for the season.
September 1st, 2010 at 6:41 PM ^
I'm stuck at work with no access to BTN.
September 1st, 2010 at 6:44 PM ^
Keep checking back here bro I'm sure there will be plenty of info for you to take in.
September 1st, 2010 at 6:45 PM ^
I believe it's supposed to stream on their website.
September 1st, 2010 at 6:57 PM ^
I'm not streaming shit.
How are your Tractors shaping up this year?
September 1st, 2010 at 7:00 PM ^
But it was at the defending champs house.
September 1st, 2010 at 7:05 PM ^
I'm not in state anymore so I'm not trying to be a dick.
September 1st, 2010 at 7:14 PM ^
Besides, I wasn't playing. 35-0. I think I was obsessed on MGoBlog concerning M-OSU, so I wasn't there, but it sounded like Catholic Central is ready for another run. (I hope...or we really suck). Now I could talk about why the Catholic schools and public schools have the same playoff...but that's just whining this week.
September 1st, 2010 at 6:43 PM ^
BTN scroll says program running an hour and a half. Also next year's schedule to be announced.
September 1st, 2010 at 6:44 PM ^
Very excited to see next seasons schedule. Thanks for that info.
September 1st, 2010 at 6:58 PM ^
but I really do think we can beat Iowa this year. Our offense destroyed their defense in the first half of the 09 game and in reality we should of never lost that game. I think we have a great chance to upset them in the Big House!
September 1st, 2010 at 6:59 PM ^
That they have a bye week before us didn't thrill me.
September 1st, 2010 at 7:01 PM ^
Nice!
September 1st, 2010 at 7:02 PM ^
Playing each of their division teams, one permanent crossover.
September 1st, 2010 at 7:02 PM ^
When does the Pac 10 announce how they are gonna split it up?
September 1st, 2010 at 8:23 PM ^
I don't think this will be finalized for a while, but the consensus seems to be that it'll be a north/south split:
South: Arizonas-USC-UCLA-Cal-Stanford
North: Colorado-Utah-Oregons-Washingtons
The other main option would be pretending that the Bay Area is north of Boulder and Salt Lake City.
The primary issue is that nobody wants to give up playing in SoCal every year because of recruiting.
September 1st, 2010 at 7:04 PM ^
Are they really going to call them Division X and Division O?
September 1st, 2010 at 7:05 PM ^
Names yet.
September 1st, 2010 at 7:04 PM ^
MSU gets stuck with Indiana. Good for easy...but kinda embarrassing.
September 1st, 2010 at 7:05 PM ^
The GAME is the last game of the season!
September 1st, 2010 at 7:05 PM ^
Mich-OSU final game of the season! I'll take it.
September 1st, 2010 at 7:05 PM ^
Ends Season!!!!
September 1st, 2010 at 7:06 PM ^
Up for grabs after 2 years.
September 1st, 2010 at 7:09 PM ^
Right? Right?
September 1st, 2010 at 7:11 PM ^
But if it does, I'll have my T-Shirt ready.
<br>
<br>If they ever deliver it....listening MGoStore? Helps to get the protest shirt before the protest is over...
September 1st, 2010 at 7:13 PM ^
What is up for grabs? (I missed the opening part due to the stream lagging)
September 1st, 2010 at 7:09 PM ^
NM, they got the stream up!
September 1st, 2010 at 7:07 PM ^
39-36 game?! Jesus sir, you are our commissioner?
September 1st, 2010 at 7:08 PM ^
As commissioner he is allowed to rescind field goals.
September 1st, 2010 at 7:15 PM ^
I approve.
September 1st, 2010 at 7:09 PM ^
fail Delaney.
September 1st, 2010 at 7:09 PM ^
If you love it or hate it, they all "agreed".
September 1st, 2010 at 7:10 PM ^
OK, let's get to the schedules.
September 1st, 2010 at 7:14 PM ^
Though I'm not happy that we've been split up from OSU, I think we are big winners on the "path to the championship game" front. We miss both teams with a strong natural recruiting base (OSU and PSU), get Iowa instead of Wisconsin (easier to recruit to Madison than Iowa City I think), and get Northwestern instead of Illinois or Purdue (the two bottom-half programs that I think have high-celing potential/history). Our two closest competitors for the division title are in the middle of nowhere and I don't see any real threat at the bottom of the division.
I think the rest of the league is going to get sick of seeing Michigan in the championship game really fast.
September 1st, 2010 at 7:13 PM ^
Divisions football only. Sounds like they'll figure other stuff out on a sport by sport basis.
September 1st, 2010 at 7:14 PM ^
Home vs Neb and Osu in 2011.
