Eeee ... you're elevating Corso's schtick to the level of (say) marching bands? Sorry, again -- I just don't see it.
I agree on the NFL pregame shows, though. They're intolerable. NFL focus groups are probably more pitiful than ones for college football.

You know, Dude, I myself dabbled in pacifism once. Not in 'Nam of course.

I sent a crapton of tuition dollars to Madison, and so I generally root for Wisky when we're not playing them. I'm rooting for them especially fervently tonight to put a beatdown on the Juggalos in EL.

I've suspected for some time that Illinois is a mediocre team that happened to play over its heads in that 3-point win over ASU. This is a team that barely squeaked by WMU and a partially Persa-less Northwestern.

A Little of both...
A Little of both...
I think that, like us, Illinois got a lot of hype because of a high ranking that probably wasn't truly deserved. Illinois is a team that was waiting to fire their coach at the beginning of the year. We're starting to see a bit more of the "true" Illinois team the last two weeks. That, said, Purdue looks like a surprisingly solid team that we cannot overlook next week.

So given their last 3 (?)
So given their last 3 (?)
So given their last 3 (?) results (barely winning against WMU & NW, getting blown ou by Purdue), I think the Illinois game is looking like a 90% win. I'm still not sold on Purdue, I think their last two games have just been against 2 bad teams. That will be closer than we thought at the beginning of the year, but still a 85% win imo. So the fate of the division really lies with how Nebraska plays against UM and MSU. It could go either way.
COYS and lets go Detroit FC!

It's one of those unique things that makes college football awesome. Period. I'd take anything Gameday does above a sterile in-studio NFL pregame show with a bunch of well-coiffed washed-up coaches trying to find a way to make their Super Bowl rings flash just right for the cameras.
