A bid at a perfect 14-0 season fell just short for the Western Michigan Broncos and head coach P.J. Fleck on Monday when they fell 24-16 in the Cotton Bowl against Wisconsin. Despite the loss, it should not take anything away from a campaign that has taken the program to new, unseen levels. Of course with that … Read more
To say ‘The Game’ delivered on its hype would be quite the understatement — Double-overtime instant classic with a full-blown officiating controversy that puts the College Football Playoff committee under enormous pressure because nobody can agree on anything? Sign me up. The Big Ten was the spotlight of the college football world this weekend and … Read more
Well the Big Ten is awful as it stands right now. That’s both good and bad for fans. Good news is, none of the teams have looked like anything close to world beaters. Bad news is, your favorite team probably sucks. In order to boost conference morale and not get laughed at, the Big Ten … Read more
Now that felt like classic Big Ten football. With snowfall scattered throughout Saturday’s slate and less than optimal conditions, teams were forced to slug it out and protect the ball like the games of yesteryear. Buckeye fans were experiencing panicked Deja Vu at the hands of mother nature and a pesky Spartan team they were expected … Read more
Down goes Michigan! CHAOS. CHAOS EVERYWHERE. The day of upsets that was in college football left no team or conference safe and Iowa’s stunner over the Wolverines has created a major shakeup in the Big Ten and the playoff race. After last week, there are about 1738 ways the Big Ten can play out and four … Read more
Last week didn’t deliver a thrilling slate of games but what it lacked in nail-biters, it delivered a much clearer picture of the conference as a whole. Michigan continued their dominant ways as the front runner while Ohio State’s flogging of Nebraska was reminiscent of their evisceration of Wisconsin in the 2014 Big Ten Championship … Read more
The best time of the year is here, which means it’s also time for the most pointless rankings. College basketball is going to have to put on quite the show if they want to top last year’s theatrics. The story lines in the Big Ten are too good to pass up. The reason these rankings … Read more
WHOAAAAA, HE HAS TROUBLE WITH THE PITCH! And just like that, Jabrill Peppers’ dash to the end zone both boosted his Heisman case and simultaneously exorcised many past demons as he put an exclamation point on Michigan’s victory in East Lansing. Though the result was expected, having the lead with zeroes on the scoreboard had to … Read more
It’s rivalry week in the Mitten State but the Wolverines and Spartans appear headed in opposite directions. With an assist from the Nittany Lions, Michigan has ascended to the top of our power rankings for the first time this year and as the first unanimous top team to boot. Hmmmm, I wonder which of our … Read more
Last week I told Spartan fans it could always be worse. Then they gave up 54 points to Northwestern. See? It can always be worse! Unless you’re talking about the poor Badger’s ridiculous schedule. They probably couldn’t have had a more difficult path. But as Michigan State enters dangerously close to John L. Smith territory, … Read more
It could always be worse, Spartans. At least you’re not Rutgers. Still, Michigan State and the Scarlet Knights were the biggest losers of the weekend but don’t forget about Maryland whose hot start was met with a reality check. Penn State’s James Franklin may save his job yet and Michigan’s otherworldly performance might make businesses … Read more
After another great weekend of Big Ten play, we’re learning a lot about the conference’s best but the middle is as muddied as ever. Ohio State looks dominant as does Michigan’s defense, though Spartan fans might just want to look away. Upsets abound have made it difficult to separate the rest but the hierarchy at … Read more
