You were right. The Buckeyes got hammered last night.

Michigan's "D" has heart. We're in trouble.
I just don't see it.

I want Michigan to lose to Penn State and Ohio State. Then I want my Spartans to beat Ohio State.

Watching the Big Ten schools play football is like taking a tour through a buggy whip factory! Classic 4 yards and a cloud of dust!

I agree...painfully slow and painful to watch.

Keep an eye on this freshman QB from Nebraska- fast, agile, bigger than he looks and a heckuva arm. He put up senior numbers yesterday against Minnesota.

Dude,
Apparently you don't watch Ohio State. They hardly run the ball at all and average almost 300 yards/ game passing. They threw the ball 73 times against Purdue. Hardly 4 yards and a cloud of dust. Indiana throws the ball all over the field and so does Purdue.
Maybe your referring to the over rated Wolverines.

I'm referring to the playoffs, if a Big Ten (Notre Dame too) school makes it into the top four, the other three will show them some speed and pass patterns out of different formations and "smoke them"!

That's what the 'Bama and SEC fans all said before they got smoked by the Buckeyes in 2014. Those slow-footed Buckeyes could never keep up with 'Bama's speed. Turns out Ezekiel Elliott and the boys from the Midwest showed them. Then they destroyed Mariotta and the Ducks who were supposed to be lightning fast too.
Anway, the only team that really jumps out this year is Bama. The rest are all beatable.

Since I'm a Seattle native (as is my son) we follow the U Dub Huskies and keep an eye on the WASU Cougs. And as we live in Florida we watch the Gators and Seminoles (it's a state law) and check in with UCF from time to time.

It keeps us busy.

Indeed, the more I see Adrian play, the more impressed I am. Even more so when I consider that he had to sit out his senior year of high school ball due to a shoulder injury. I was definitely glad to see my Huskers get their first in a long time. Exciting times ahead over the next couple of seasons.

Big Ohio University Bobcat win last night on the road in Kalamazoo (former home of Gibson guitars). Come on now...you gotta love the Bobcats. I also root for the Buckeyes, but Rufus had to be escorted off the field after taking down Brutus a few years ago. I have a framed picture above my computer of Rufus providing a right cross to the chops - still makes me chuckle when I look at it.
