How bout them Boilermakers!
How bad are the Golden Gophers???

The Big Ten is exposed! I am not sure after Wisky that anyone deserves to be in the top 15. Michigan is an unknown still but, could be a sleeper! Now, let me go back to sleep dreaming about our Rose Bowl chances!

They're probably correct anyway, so you shouldn't argue too much, because otherwise he'll just blather on forever. On the internet Al Gore invented.

OSU could actually implode save the talent factor is still so big and tradition is tough to beat. We'll see.

Re: How bout them Boilermakers!
I'm telling you, watch OSU! By mid-season next year you will see them come alive. All this stuff right now is good character development and a chance for young guys to get experience. Those 2 things with recruiting and player development is everything in college football...and the Buckeyes have the latter always at hand.

But let's not lose sight of the Purdue victory!

I am with you on OSU next year. This year is just a flushing of their problems. The system that Woody put in at the high school level still lives. SI explained it 30 years in a 10 page article. Unbelievable recruiting. Spence may even have a copr somehwere.
How about them Mountaineers!

Re: How bout them Boilermakers!
Given the dramatic improvement in special teams over the last 2 games (terrible the first 4 weeks) they appear to be the best team in the country for 2 to 2.5 quarters. As usual in a high player turnover year the Defense is now coming on too, it has always been about as complex as the new Offense! Pitt is the only team with half a shot at them. But if the development continues that won't be close either. I want to see 3.5 to 4 quarters of enlightened and engaged football, knowing 4 is often difficult. (They put up 33 points on UConn in about 16 minutes.)

The only thing I have to say is character building sucks.

The ones that survive will have character.

Your team is moving up the ladder. Looks like BCS bid for sure. Me, I am still hopiung for a Rose Bowl bid. Purdue is 1-0 in the Weak 11 Bid One! LOL

Re: How bout them Boilermakers!
I was having a conversation with an individual and told him, after Michigan's 58-0 win over Minnesota that they, "lost to North Dakota State." The gentlemen corrected me to say, "you mean New Mexico State?" My reply was, "them too"
Minnesota and Indiana are atrocious. I haven't seen two BCS teams be as bad as they have been outside of Washington State in recent seasons, and maybe Duke from the mid 2000's.
