row_33 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I have never felt the real champion was denied a chance at the title during the BCS era. 1997 was a bad year Michigan and Nebraska going undefeated and slate to contractual Bowl Game wins. I think that was the last straw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Buckeyes are going to stink this year in basketball, so is Indiana. Down year for the Big 10 in hoops. Michigan State is really good, Purdue is good, Whisky & Michigan are decent, dark horse Penn St. I also forgot Northwestern, should be in the tournament for the 2nd year in a row.

Peter Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I just bought my ticket to fly to Charlotte for the ACC Championship game. We have our game tickets on order. The last time we (UM) played Clemson, Clemson blew us out. Clemson is very, very good, but we owe them. Big time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

row_33 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 So the only game of any use is Michigan at Wisconsin this weekend? I'll try to convince myself Michigan/Ohio St/Mich St/Penn St are really good this year, instead of the probably reality that they are good bad teams.

That is where Gameday is going so looking like the best game. It’s “Cupcake weekend” in CFB. Bama is playing Mercer. You can’t even bet on it in Vegas.

row_33 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Bama's game isn't scheduled on my cable package so I figured they were off or stomping some sad school. Historically a few other games would have been great like UCLA/USC but the Pac12 is a write-off for 2017. ---------------------------------------- have you roadtripped to Camp Randall, Yolo? Worst of the worst for the Big Ten.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not having ever been, how would you describe it? Is it how they treat away fans? For some reason, I thought they had a good atmosphere. I have seen on TV and videos of how the stadium rocks when they play Jump Around, and I always thought that was pretty cool. As an aside, I recently was told that Virginia Tech (Blacksburg) is a hospitable and enjoyable place as an away fan. I was told that they treat people very well. On the other hand, I also was told by the same person never to go to West Virginia for a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they do a chant when they come to your stadium? picture it going on for half the game by most of the home stadium, when you have your kid or mother with you.

But during Jump Around I legit thought I was going to die. The stands literally shake and sway. Fans were throwing things and pouring fireball on us.

And even if the one in a million happened and they lost?? They'd still be in the playoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Teams are entitled to cupcakes out of conference when they want to schedule them i would never argue Bama doesn’t face a legit schedule wolverines stand there like dummies and the dead ball is picked up by the Wisky punt returner for 50 to the house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not teams like Mercer and The Citadel EVER... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said on CanesInSight, this team isn't as talented as some in the past, but they play with as much heart as any team I've seen. Came back from 14 down twice today. They know how to adjust at halftime. I'm not a huge Rosier fan as a QB, but when the game is on the line he finds a way to make a play. It's been great watching them this year....GO CANES!!!!

row_33 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Bama likes the pre-holiday game to be an OOC cupcake the Big 10 plays only conference after their cupcakes are done, that’s their free choice that was a brutal smackdown of Michigan today.
