I feel as though I've seen the words "wrestling" and "upset" together a lot lately.
February 16th, 2014 at 1:42 AM ^
Plenty of time to rest up for the B1G championships. Go Blue!!!

If they keep playing like this, it won't be an "upset" for much longer! This team has made huge strides, and with a freshman like Coon, the next few years might get pretty darned fun.

Coon just sounds like a giant white side who's very strong.
February 16th, 2014 at 7:31 AM ^
and has the winning "we can beat anyone" attitude. Great to see the results like this!
Go Blue!

It is clear he understands leverage, and our lines could use some help. Even if he could be a scout team helper, that would be awesome!

Seems like a terror to line up against at NT or something like that.
February 16th, 2014 at 11:32 AM ^
In highschool Coon was an All State linebacker!

Looking at the schedule, I can't help but wonder how on earth they lost to Kent State...Still, solid win, Go Blue
