One of the main storylines in the Big Ten entering this college football season was all the dual threat quarterbacks. Well so far, I'd say it's really only Wisconsin's Russell Wilson and Nathan Scheelhaase who fit that bill. Michigan's Denard Robinson did throw for over 330 yards and 4 TDs, but he is an average thrower at best. He made some really poor throws in that Notre … [Read more...] about Big Ten Football 2011 Power Rankings: Preconference Edition

Big 10 Football Season Predictions and Projections
There's four good teams in the Big Ten this season and five more that could be good or just blah. You can call it parity (just don't call it PARODY, I HATE when people make that mistake, it isn't Weird Al Yankovic playing college football here) or you can call it mediocrity. Expect a lot of conference teams to be ranked in the 30s and 20s overall in the nation. On the … [Read more...] about Big 10 Football Season Predictions and Projections

#16 Ohio State Buckeyes: College Football 77 in 77
2010 was the year that (technically) didn’t happen for Ohio State. All 12 of the team's wins from last season will never be recorded, including a win over Arkansas in the Sugar Bowl that would have ended their all-time 0-9 drought against the SEC. The 2010-2011 offense was supposed to be one of Jim Tressel’s best. Now there is no Tressel, and three members of the starting … [Read more...] about #16 Ohio State Buckeyes: College Football 77 in 77
Buckeyes Mike Brewster Leads Way for new Ohio State Quarterback
For the 2011 Ohio State Buckeyes, Center Mike Brewster is becoming a leader in the same mold as Alex Stepanovich, the Center on the 2002 national title team. And leadership is an extremely valuable asset for a center to have, as they’re making all the calls in the trenches on offense, kind of like how a middle linebacker must make proper adjustments and calls on defense. … [Read more...] about Buckeyes Mike Brewster Leads Way for new Ohio State Quarterback
#29 Penn State Nittany Lions: College Football 77 in 77
Every year at Big Ten media days, JoePa on dais is one of the biggest highlights. There is always the token ghoulish question about his health/age. It happened again this year. He has a good time with reporters on it. And I'm not sure how much of his confused old man bit is contrived and how much of it is genuine. -JoePa when asked about his contract: "Is this the last … [Read more...] about #29 Penn State Nittany Lions: College Football 77 in 77
Big Ten Football Media Day: Notable Quotables, Nuggets and Tidbits
It's officially "back to school" season as another round of Big Ten Football Media Days has begun. You know what it means, college football season is now within striking distance. And it's a new era in the Big Ten, a conference championship game, new divisions, and a new member with a storied history, the Nebraska Cornhuskers. But the old is always good too. We love our … [Read more...] about Big Ten Football Media Day: Notable Quotables, Nuggets and Tidbits
2011 Big Ten QB Power Rankings: Preseason Edition
There's four good teams in the Big Ten this season and five more that could be good or just blah. You can call it parity (just don't call it PARODY, I HATE when people make that mistake, it isn't Weird Al Yankovic playing college football here) or you can call it mediocrity. The talent at quarterback is anything but mediocre though. There's dual threats everywhere you look, and … [Read more...] about 2011 Big Ten QB Power Rankings: Preseason Edition
Big 10 Football Power Rankings: 2011 Inaugural Edition
Yes, hate the names of the two new divisions as much as everyone else. How did that atrocity happen? I don't know, let's not talk about it anymore and just move on to the fact that the Nebraska Cornhuskers are here now, and they arrived just in time to strengthen the Big Ten. At the exact same time that the Ohio State Buckeyes deteriorate into a real life college football … [Read more...] about Big 10 Football Power Rankings: 2011 Inaugural Edition
Ohio State 2010 Season Now Vacated, Program Self-Imposes 2 Year Probation
Those two Ohio State Buckeyes games I covered (opening night vs. Marshall and the annual grudge match versus the hated Michigan Wolverines) no longer officially exist; as the entire 2010 season was officially vacated. Maybe the local rube harassing me about my generic blue and orange scarf, the random guy at the stadium who yelled "AUBURN FAGGOT!" at me before the season … [Read more...] about Ohio State 2010 Season Now Vacated, Program Self-Imposes 2 Year Probation
