Hard to explain without the full context, but "sucks to your assmar" generally means "go screw."

Just another case of Big Ten teams picking up sleepers instead of making high profile hires. I think recruits will be less than impressed. Unfortunately the Big Ten is becoming mid-level management instead of the boardroom execs like the SEC.
