Holy Crap The B1G Is Horrible At Football

7 games so far lost to OOC opponents today and OSU is struggling. What a shit start to the season. The West is especially dumpster fire-ish.

I was one of the people this summer saying Purdue and NW were the real deal but I was dead wrong.

Side note, as much as I root for the B1G, any time those two shitburgers Frost and Fitzpatrick lose I’m all for it.
 
So much for the B1G being the "elite national conference" this year.

That said, I wish Wisconsin had won today. They'll be coming into IC with their ears pinned back.
 
Screw Wisconsin. They couldn't beat a bunch of dudes at home that mostly skipped football for a year and a half. I don't want to hear about how freaking good they are. The game's at home, at night. Win the game.

Dude, put your big boy pants on because it's only going to get worse. The Chicago suburbs that feed Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Northwestern, Purdue, Indiana, Notre Dame and to a lesser extent MSU and Michigan are going to become a football desert because the parents won't let their kids play anymore. But guess what. Down in the South football is king. Every kid still plays.

Look, Vandy, the shittiest team in the SEC, waltzed into Notre Dame and just gave them a materially better game than Michigan did. Probably should have won it. Dude, it's bad and it's only gonna get worse. I think Ferentz is ahead of the curve getting into the South and getting kids like Smith. We got that Jayden McDonald kid from Georgia, too who only had mid major and shitty P5 offers. I mean, I honestly think we're at the point where if you're Ferentz you go out and get the kids from in state who can ball, poke around Illinois and Wisconsin for a minute, but then get your ass to Florida and Georgia and look at kids whose offer sheets are places like UCF, South Florida, Coastal Carolina, Troy, etc. and just hope you land a few of them. I mean, you have to kiss any of the 4-5 stars goodbye because they ain't leaving the region, but get a few 2 or 3 stars, redshirt them and get them lifting and hope they blossom. There's just slim pickings in the north and it's gonna get worse.
 
Wanted Connie to win a close game against the Stormin' Mormons.
Feels like Connie will be fired up after this gut-punching close loss.

I liked what I saw from Iowa in the first half against UNI.
 
I never understood why people get so wrapped up in this conference comparison thing. Who gives a shit? I'm an Iowa fan, not a B1G fan.
I think ESPN started it with the SEC to combat the B1G network. Or maybe isu began pounding their chests about b12 dominance because they had nothing else to brag about, Either way, it's pointless. Iowa is 3-0 and I don't care what other teams did or didn't do. /end rant/ :D

Because it effects strength of schedule and perceptions that are important for playoff rankings.
 
Yeah, the West especially looks like a dump. Our first 2 games of the conference schedule very well could decide who wins the West. We all know about Wisconsin but how real is Minnesota? Minnesota is 3-0 but their opponents are a combined 2-8, their best win is against Fresno State.

I wasn’t on Purdue or NW bandwagons but .... both 0-2 OOC ???? Yikes.

Nope, I wasn't either.
Purdue, Northwestern and Nebraska account for almost every loss.

I think we win an extremely hard fought game against Wisconsin. That's when we will see where the mentality of this team is at, because win and you better pin your ears back, because everyone tries to knock off first place. :)

Our best win is against UNI and I think our opponents are 1 - 6.

I think it's justified to ask how real Iowa is but our best win isn't UNI.

But thanks for putting me in my place. My Hawkeye homerism was getting WAY over the top. LOL
