Much maligned BigTen kicks some serious ass today.
Ron Zook's (yes, a former SEC coach)awful Illini the only one's to go down. Ooh-sa-sa. Ooh-sa-sa. Hit 'em in the head with a ooh-sa-sa.

1. I'll assume youre joking
OSU and Iowa defeated Navy and NI (division 1 AA) by a combined 5 points.

That's kicking serious ass all right..:rofl: ...

2. Both teams guilty of looking ahead, Upton.
So wha'? A fucking win is a win. I think Robert E. Lee said that.

3. Why was Illinois favored over Mizzou?
Makes absolutely no sense to me.

4. Saw that coming from a mile away, El.
Ron Zook sucks. Always has. Always will. Mizzoo has a solid program. Illinois..does not.

5. Ohio State is overated.
No surprise, it happens every year. They will get destroyed by USC and will end up somewhere around 15th place. I would rather watch Mountain West football than Big-10.

6. I love Ohio State and the Big Ten but what kind of crack are you smoking?
Now the Big Ten is dogged by still being an academic conference (the SEC has players who
don't have the grades to get into prison) ..... the Big Ten is looking real weak.

7. The Big 10 went 1-1 against BCS teams, and beat 4 I-AA teams.
And Iowa needed to block two kicks to defeat their I-AA foe. The conference had a good day today, but let's get real.

10. I was at that game, ticap.
Iowa came out flat as a pancake. Hopefully this was a wake-up call. Or, maybe were just not that good. If you knew me, you'd know that maybe my posts occasionally contain just a little facetiousness. Plus, I like to get Upton going on his beyond normal hatred of America's premier athletic conference.

11. Very happy to see Michigan regain their winning ways
And look very good doing it. No nail biter this time, what a refreshing change. And, wow, is Denard Robinson FAST. Holy cow.

12. I was too, 1goblue
Because of the witchhunt up there over Richrod, I'm rooting for him. With exception, of course. Against our asses!

13. I can't believe that any team would want Zook
Even the Illini. Jeez. From what I hear, he's a nice guy but he is not a good coach.

15. I don't even hear Zook's a nice guy, Jo.
The only folks that remotely like him are SOME of the Illini players and fans. The rest of the Big Ten, and for that matter, all of college football can't stand the pompous prick.

16. When he was at UGA, all I heard was how great he was
Hmm. Interesting.

He has no reason to be pompous, that's for sure.
