Submitted by ThadMattasagoblin on

Their defense looks terrible and their offense looks a little better than last year. BTN right now

I think Illinois missed the boat by having their spring game on a Friday night.  They should've gone "full monty" and had it on a TUESDAY night!

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition........

I hope more people click on the thread, just so they can upvote you.  Then again, the max is five.

Poor Illinois: when you have no talent, and nobody wants to come and play for your school, it just doesn't look good for competing in the Big Ten.  I just hope the East-West rumors are correct, and Michigan gets Rutgers every year to make up for not playing Illinois.

I dislike when people talk of how the SEC divisions sway back and forth in power for reason why the B10 divisions (even the rumored new ones) should remain lopsided. Right now, osu has ZERO competition on their side. None. In re-alignment, rumors show we may be on the same side but that side also is top heavy so we still have a harder road while the other side will constantly have a champion be Wizzy or Illinois/Indiana/etc. If the B10 wants to rebuild this conference they have to embrace what the money has always said: Big2-Little10 (now more). You toss osu and Michigan in a cake ass division of scrubs to guarantee that game still matters. Then, let the rest of the decent teams duke it out on the other division to play the annual winner of the Michigan/osu game. In other words, embrace the sports biggest rivalry by keeping it strong AND force the other schools to truly spend and become decent, good and in Nebraskas case great again. psu is nuked but they'll bounce back after the sanctions. It's the Illinois type teams we need to at least be competitive like they have been before. Maryland and Rutgers better step the heck up as, sadly, they come in better than most off our conference. Toss the msu, Wizzy, NW, Neb type teams in one division to create another arms race in the B10. Michigan and osu will do that scrubs or not, same division or not anyway. We need everyone else to step up and I know of know other way how than ensuring THE GAME is almost always to play for the B10 title to keep the media giving a crap about the B10 and the good but not great teams all in another division to create another arms race. Eventually, the B10 will be back as at least the #2 conference in America.

It's actually slang for the fake drug "Euphoria" from the original 90210. haha. No, it's androids attempt to speed up tap typing by literally swyping to letters. it often guesses what you mean so if you swype "no" and "know" near each other it will change one to the other, etc. I stand by my opinion, though.
