Best thread all summer!
The fact that I can't tell whether this is a sarcastic reply or a genuine reply really speaks to the board quality this summer.
I went into lurk mode once i went to work from home and with pandemic going on i didn't feel the need to get on the board as much. The threads were terrible and looks like a lot of people were banned during that time.
Should be labeled "OT"
Only Covid threads are allowed without "OT."

Yeah, welcome to Fantasy B1G Football!
Coming out of my cage

Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
how did it end up like this?
and I've been doin JUST FOYNE!
August 5th, 2020 at 11:10 AM ^
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest now
He takes off his cleats now

...Despite all my rage I’m still just a rat in a cage.
shit. Wrong song
August 5th, 2020 at 11:22 AM ^
Is it though? Smashing Pumpkins are underrated awesome.
Weird not having OSU at the very end but at least the early season gauntlet of Minnesota, PSU, Wisconsin is not as bad now. Minnesota without Bateman and PSU without Parsons possibly and Wisconsin moved to the end of the schedule
9/5 - Purdue
9/12 - Minnesota
9/19 - Penn State
9/26 - Rutgers
10/3 Michigan State
10/10 Bye
10/17 Indiana
10/24 Ohio State
10/31 Wisconsin
11/7 Maryland
11/14 Bye
11/21 Northwestern
You can't edit a board post or post pictures to the board via mobile? This website sucks.
Be very careful when blasting this site, it can end badly.
Apparently not this time.
Looks like we get MSU at home for a 2nd straight year
Full on payback for 2013-14...back to back reamings.
August 5th, 2020 at 11:57 AM ^
Except there won't be any fans.
Looking at the future schedules on Maizenbrew, we get them at home 2 straight years (2020 & 2021) then it goes back to aligning with OSU, which is probably better for the present time.
On the other side, we get Wisky & PSU on opposite schedules with OSU & MSU, so things even out.

You don't want to edit it anyway. The original empty post will eventually be the correct version of the 2020 schedule.
Here's the actual updated schedule
Week 1 Bye
Week 2 bye
Week 3 bye
Week 4 bye
Week 5 season canceled
Clemson declared national champs with a record of 0-0
You may hate me, but it ain't no lie
Baby bye bye bye bye (Cancelled)

Isn't that the title of a BackedUp SyncBoyz song?
Does that schedule come with an official music video?
As soon as one top 10 team loses half their starters the season will be over.
They'll be gone anyway just sitting out for the draft, which, frankly, will result in teams looking more like what college football teams should look like.
I have them at 0-0 for the season.
Better record than RichRod, no?
We’re going 10-0.
Ohio State's first four games are at Illinois, Rutgers, at Purdue and then Indiana.
Just a brutal start to their season.
It gets tougher, they got Nebraska and Sparty after that
August 5th, 2020 at 11:51 AM ^
Well, the sad part is that Illinois and Purdue have beaten good Ohio State teams more recently than we have
Guess I'm puttin on my wrap around shades and entering 100% snark mode while I watch the games this year
I hope we at least play MSU before the season gets canceled. I want Harbaugh to grind them into dust so recruits have no ambiguity about the matchup.
Looks like they added a crossover game at the end of the schedule just Incase they have to cancel a week.
Going largely unnoticed is the fact that we no longer play Ohio State and Michigan State on the road in the same season. Sure hope it stays that way if this season gets canceled.
That was only a problem when MSU was good.
If not it would at least mean three straight trips to the big house for Sparty
That would be hilarious. The bitchin by Sparty fans would be as good as the game.
I'd rather alternate PSU/OSU than OSU/MSU.

Are you saying the covid cloud has a silver lining? This may be the only good thing to come out of it.
August 5th, 2020 at 11:33 AM ^
I would not describe that as "largely unnoticed". I and many others notice that immediately.
I try to be positive usually, but unless our Qb is very good i could see us losing 4-5 games this season. Or we could lose 0 because there likely wont be a season.
Probable losses: OSU
Coin flips: PSU
UM should be favored but close: Wisc, Minn
We've rarely lost to teams that we are supposed to beat. Minnesota might have been a mirage last season and arguably their best offensive player is opting out, doesn't scare me. Wisconsin without Taylor doesn't scare me all that much either.
We get PSU at home and if Parson's does sit out, I think we are favored in this matchup. So the only outright loss we should account for is OSU. One conference loss to OSU seems totally reasonable to me. I'll predict two losses.
Obviously if our QB room is a disaster a la 2017, then things could change. One other thing to note is that if we get rocked again or suffer another emotional loss to OSU, that Wisc game right after could be a trap.
August 5th, 2020 at 10:16 AM ^
With you except that traps are the other way around... when a team is "looking ahead" and fails to give the current opponent enough respect. I think you're referring to the "don't let 'em beat you twice" dynamic that has deflated M's recent bowl seasons.
August 5th, 2020 at 10:52 AM ^
In regards to Wisconsin, the RB doesn't really matter if they are plowing our DL five yards off the ball every play again. It's not like we slowed down Shaw or Groshek when Taylor came out. They combined for 93 yards on only 7 carries last year.
August 5th, 2020 at 11:36 AM ^
Seriously? My first thought when looking at the schedule is that this sets up great for Michigan. PSU and Wisconsin at home. MSU at home. Road games at Northwestern and Rutgers. Only places for trouble are Minnesota and OSU on the road, and I think Minnesota will take a step back from last year.
Even though the season probably won’t happen, I was pretty excited to see this schedule.
I know home and road aren’t as big of a deal with no fans, but it’s still the difference between traveling and staying in your own bed/locker room.
10-0 and Champions of the East!
so they added a rebounding Northwestern team. Could be worse I guess but I'd rather have played Illinois or Nebraska...
