Big 10 Stinks - Northwestern

[CyPride]

Congradulations to the Big 10 for COVERING the Spread. I was impressed by Northwestern, but they were just OVERMATCHED. The Big 10 does not have the Talent that the Big 12 has. End of Discussion!!!!!!!

Although FAT and SLOW, the Big 10 might not be as pathetic as everyone says.

I'm still predicting 0-6 for the WORST CONFERENCE in the COUNTRY.

Melvin - just think if we were in the big 10 this year. We'd be playing on January 1st or later, no doubt. Our offense would have torn up that league and looking at the Big 10 offense, it wouldn't have taken that much of a defense to dominate the league.

Melvin, don't make me call your mom and tell her you are still up.

iowa may just be the only winner from the Big 11 this bowl season. The rest of the teams look outmatched.

Yeah... NW was, and they almost won. I agree on paper Iowa has the only favorable match up.

Are you talking about the 2008 ISU FB team. If you are that is crazy talk.

Common Hawkeye Lovers, Let me hear ya.

The Big 10 is BIG, FAT, AND SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW.

Mizzou played about as bad as you could and the game is TIED. This game is over. MU wins by 21, not the 70 that I predicted, but they still cover. Big 10 Sucks.

Come On Hawks, Take my Bait, Spout off on HOW Northwestern will come back or how the Big 10 isn't that bad.

Yeah you could have a point about big and fat, but I thought that NW looked really fast for a jv team from the little 11!!!

And 4 the record...mizzou wouldnt be worth nuthin without that little peg-leg quarterback from texas(southlake carroll)!!!!

Wow nothing like living off of another teams success. I guess that's why your ISU.

People don't want to hear it, but bowl games are not about who is better. They're about who "wants" to be there. It sucks, it's unfortunate, but it's the system our university president's think is best.

The Big 10 is a victim of amazing bowl tie-ins. It's not their fault It helps them get amazing exposue. Unfortunately (for them), it usually finds them overmatched in bowl games. Once the match-up is locked in, one of two things happens (usually nothing in between)...

1) The underdog rallies the troops, plays the no respect card, and comes out and gives a valiant effort (close win or close loss) to a highly rated team.

2) They get blown out.

Vegas doesn't lie. The only Big 10 team favored is Iowa.

"But, but, but...the Big 10 plays defense!"

I don't think we can even judge the Big 10 on head-head in bowl games (win or lose). Mainly because some teams don't want to be there. You don't wan to hear it, but the only way to judge teams is the "eye ball" test. Watch all year, and make your judgement. I watch the Big 10 (as does most of the media and voters) and don't think they're as talented, fast, and skilled as the Big 12 and SEC. Sounds like a silly way to determine who is good, doesn't it? Funny thing it's exactly how we determine a national championship match-up.

Kudos to NW coaches and players. They had a better plan and executed MUCH better. They were just a bit short on overall talent. That being said I think Pinkle is a "rich mans" Danny Mac. I think he had better talent than Mac but is not a great coach. I think he overachieved last year and seasons like this year is what Mizzou fans can expect in the future.

And I guess that's why "your" not an English teacher.

I don't know if I have ever been more impressed with a young coach than I am with Pat Fitzgerald. What a great coach. Bring a lot of energy to the side line, while at the same time staying under control. He has a bright future
