the just released schedules were a flat-out statement that the B10 doesn't believe SOS will matter in playoff selection
Copper Bowl Open Thread, MSU vs. TCU
So......Iowa is better than TCU, got it thanks Bdubs.
Safe to say leveon bell won't be returning to this shitty offense next year
Off a defensive holding call, but they pick up the interference flag that would have offset the penalties for TCU and effectively ending the game. Meh.

Kudos to MSU. They controlled the second half of this game. They ran the ball on a pretty stout D and got some opportunistic passing going. So the Big Ten is 1-1 and has looked respectably in both games.
BTW, this is about the third time this season someone has said "Quick, what are they saying on the RCMB?" in the middle of a game MSU was losing - and each time, they went on to win and this board looked ridiculous. How about you at least wait until the game is over to obsess over MSU fan reaction?
You're the one obsessing over obsessing over fan reactions.
When the ADept sells special jerseys and gear, you'll see my picture next to the targeted customer crowd. A sheep.....but a Blue one.....
Score one for the Big Ten.
Good to be competitive and win some of these games. Stronger conference means more opportunities especially with the impending playoff unless BIG champion is garunteed a place.
Really want to shut down the Essss Eeee Seeee on Tuesday.
Here's hoping for a bright future. This team does try hard and I will continue to support them.
"real" trophy rests in Ann Arbor this year. It's time for the rest of the B10 to do their part. With that said I only see Michigan, NW and Wisconsin (if they bring their A game) winning.
We hate Michigan State. We don't like Penn State too. We don't care for Minnesota, Wisconsin or Notre Dame but we all hate O-S-U.

Sparty definitely got some help from the officials on their last drive and on TCU's last drive. Too bad: it would have been great to see them go 6-7 this year.
Sparty won? Dang, going back to bed.

Too bad Minnesota couldn't have pulled off its upset; then the B1G would be 2-0 in the postseason so far.
Michigan: 903–315–36 (Best in NCAA)
vs Ohio State: 58-44-6
vs Notre Dame: 23-16-1
vs MSU: 68-32-5
vs B1G: 522-197-24
vs SEC: 20-8-1
vs PAC 12: 48-24-1
vs Big 12: 10-5-1<
Feeling way better about the State game next year the more I watch them play. I can't picture their offense being much better than what we saw this year. If Bell and Sims, bolt probably worse. Neither of those quarterbacks present many problems for a defense.
"because character wins in life and character wins on the football field....." 1-11-11
I would think Sims is going to leave, really think his stock is at a high now. If Bell somehow is graded as a late 1st or early 2nd round, I think he'll leave, thing is, I doubt he is a top 2 round player at this juncture, however, with a better oline, he could be good. I think if he returns, their season will be similar to this year, win total ranging from 6-10. We will more than likely have issues on offense too due to a new oline and a struggling ground game.
Denard Robinson......They're not going to catch him!
Bell is definitely a Top 2 round player. The fact that their O-Line is that bad, but he's still putting up those rushing numbers says something
If you're doing nothing, how do you know when you're finished?
You are right, he does not have very good speed. He compares to LeShoure, and I think the Lions picked him late 1st round. If he is projected as at least a 2nd rounder, he should go due to RB's injury possibilities, not that he is a lattimore type back, but I think the general rule with RB's is if you have a chance to be picked in the top 3 rounds, you leave.
Denard Robinson......They're not going to catch him!
Sparty played last night? That goes to show how much I worry about them. Wake me up when they are relevant.
What ya gonna do when HOKEamania runs wild on you???
You've lost 4 of the last 5 to them...
you have no ability to recognize a joke do you?

I went to bed and woke up and said geez what happened?
If you see someone in an airport with Michigan logos on luggage and they are wearing a pilot uniform come say hello.
I hope that we can hold up our end of the B1G bargain on Tuesday. While I hate MSU with a serious passion, I think we need to acknowledge that they beat an SEC team in their bowl game last year, and--lemon-sucking look or not--that Dantonio and his team have earned serious respect on the national stage. Even their uniforms kinda looked okay last night (he offered grudgingly).
Between Minny's valor and inspired defensive effort against Tech and the Spartans, the Big Ten is off to a better start than I expected.
I agree, as much as I hate sparty I am happy the big ten got their first bowl win against a respectable team. Now Jan 1st will either be another year where we see how the rest of the big ten pans out
"What" ain't no country I ever heard of. They speak English in What?
As a Michigan fan either way I end up happy with the result.

The RB was wide open if boykin had just thrown it short
I realize that there was an offensive holding call on the play, but jeez, what a rotten throw.
