For the past several years, conferences like the SEC, Big 12, and Pac-10 have been complaining that the Big Ten is overrated. I’m a Big Ten fan, but I can’t say that I disagree. After a 9 – 0 start, Iowa rose out of the ashes of the Big Ten this year, and we all held the hope that this would be the team to challenge Florida or Texas or another awesome team for the National Championship.
It doesn’t look like that will be the case. Today, Iowa fell, but not to Penn State (no, they beat them gloriously – sigh …read more

Recently, many of the conferences held their media days. If you missed any of the “news” (yawn), here’s a brief overview from the Big Ten:

The Fighting Illini might not be a BCS force yet, but this team is certainly on the rise. Last year, for the first time, four of the six home games sold out. This year, the horseshoe section sold out in just 45 minutes and all six home games are expected to sell out.
Coach Ron Zook wants this to be the best home field (personally, I think they have some work to do on that considering Penn State’s school spirit). To help out this bid for “best home field,” fans can purchase an orange Zook Zone towel for $7. …read more

I’m sorry USC fans out there. I do not like your team. I think they’re a bunch of pretty boys from Southern California who like to make jerks out of any opponent not as good as them. Ok, I’ll say it – I think they’re assholes.
Not the whole team. I’m sure there are a few nice players. And hey, I’m not too proud to admit that I think John David Booty is hot. I’d even go as far to say that he’s a decent quarterback when he’s healthy.
But the team, in general…jerks. And for the record, I’m not fond of …read more

The game JUST finished (like literally, a minute ago), and Illinois has come out on top. Going into this game, Ohio State was ranked #1 as one of the few undefeated teams in BCS. Tonight, their hopes of a National Championship have been dashed. Illinois played the game of their life. Illinois doesn’t have a chance at the Rose Bowl, as they have two losses (Michigan and Iowa), so now it comes down to the Ohio State – Michigan game next week. Will we see the Buckeyes or the Wolverines in the bowl?
Juice Williams, quarterback for the Fighting Illini had …read more
