Rivalry Week was awesome as "THE GAME" lived up to it's billing. The Gophers pull a shocker to grab the axe and the Big Ten West Champs continued their march to Indy. The Bucket stays in West Lafayette for another year and the Hawkeyes win their RIVALRY game. Oh yeah, Penn State beats Maryland and Sparty topples Rutgers. ALL SEVEN Games right here!
Rivalry Week is here! The best week of the year but also bittersweet because this concludes the regular season. Many will go on to a bowl while some will stay home and feel shame. Let's get it on! Paul Bunyan's Axe, the LOL! Hat, the Old Oaken Bucket, the Heroes Trophy, and..."The Game". Can it get better than this?! Of course it can! Penn State/Maryland and Rutgers/Sparty!...ok, so maybe it can't get better than The Game but nevertheless the best matchups of the year. All seven games right here...
YeeeeeeHaaaaaaw!!! We had some barn-burners this weekend! The Cats reinforce their dominance in the West while Purdue just can't win the one's they should. The Bucks and Terps had an overtime shootout while the Hoosiers made life a little uncomfortable for the Wolverines before falling. Penn State takes a snoozer in Piscataway. Nebraska wins again...with DEFENSE??!! Finally, the Hawks prevail in a laugher in Champaign. Hahahahaha! Pass the Bourbon! All seven week 12 games right here!...

Several teams are biting, scratching, and clawing for a bowl game while others are wallowing in their sorrow. Some teams are snoozing while others want blood! Bring on the second to last week of the 2018 regular season...Upset Week???
Talking it out can be cathartic. No talking needed for Northwestern who captures the West while OSU and Meeeechigan stay on path for an East Division showdown. Did Indiana just demolish Maryland's chances for a Bowl whilst keeping their own hopes alive? Perhaps. Wait, who is disguised as the Gopher's defense? I'm not sure but I think it's #Domination! Nebraska continues the year-long humiliation of the Illini defense. Meanwhile Penn State continues to show the world that Wisconsin was a bunch of...
The end of the regular season creeps closer (wipes tears from eyes) and with that comes clarity. Which teams will separate themselves this weekend? Northwestern is in the driver's seat in the West as the Hawkeyes try to trip them up on their way to Indy. Can Purdue stay in the picture? In the East Ohio State tries to keep their hopes alive against feisty Sparty while Michigan plays a tune-up game. The Badgers take on PSU in the Game of Broken Dreams. A bowl game could be on the line for both tea...
Sadly the Big Ten season is winding down but the cream is rising to the top. Who will end up in Indy? In the West it's still not clear but the East is looking like one team's to lose. Wiscy sleep walks through another one, MSU exposes Maryland's offense yet again, and will tOSU ever wake up? Wait, what? The Illini put a beat-down on someone?!! Purdue shows the B1G West they are not going away while Michigan curb stomps the Nitts. The Irish invade Evanston in a non-con tilt. Who loves Big Ten Foo...
It's Halloween and the witching hour is almost at hand. The perfect setting for MURDER (no, really), a toxic culture exacerbated by hubris, and the absolute HORROR of the College Football Playoff Committee! AH HA HA HA HA! Thankfully we have good old fashioned Big Ten Football to take our minds off all that nonsense. The Scarlet Knights travel to Mad-town, Sparty takes on a shaken Maryland squad, and OSU tries to get back on track versus a potent Nebraska offense. Meanwhile the Gophers and Illin...
Jeffrey the Greek and B1G Kurt step into a therapy session after their respective teams' devastating defeats. The Hawkeyes lost an ugly but tough game in Happy Valley while the Flailing Illini were emasculated in College Park. The week kicked off with a barn burner in the Twin Cities as the Gophers get a much needed win for their bowl hopes leaving IU with an uphill climb. Northwestern continues to show why they could end up in Indy come early December as they humble the Badgers. Purdue comes ba...
What a week it was in week 8 but things slow down just a bit in week 9 with three teams on BYE - Rutgers, Ohio State, and Meechigan. Who is full of BS? Is it Khaki Pants or the perpetually furrowed brow of Mark Dantonio? Does God care? Do we? Of course we do! The week starts off Friday in the Twin Cities with an evenly matched contest between the Hoosiers and the Gophers. Purdue looks to keep the train rolling against a battered Sparty. Wisconsin visits Evanston in an always interesting tilt. Ne...
YeeeeeeHaaaaaaw! What a barn burner of a weekend for Big Ten Football! An aboslute shocker went down in West Lafayette in front of a national audience. Congrats to the Boilers for their biggest win in two generations. Meechigan flexed their muscles in East Lansing after Dantonio tried to flex his pre-game. The Hoosiers took the Nitts down to the wire. Illinois continued to do what Illinois does as the Badgers steamrolled the Illini. Northwestern survived a scare, Nebraska finally gets a W, and t...
It's Week 8 already and another full slate of Big Ten games to discuss. Big Brother/Little Brother week in Michigan but who is who? A rather intriguing contest in West Lafayette where the Boilers try for spoilers versus the mighty Buckeyes. The Badgers look to rebound from their embarrassing perfomance versus an embarrassed Illinois team. Northwestern and Rutgers square off for the first time as B1G foes. Penn State's season hangs in the balance as the Hoosiers keep pushing for a bowl. Do Hawks ...
A full slate of games made for a nice little saturday of football. The Greek and Kurt try something new by recording as the Game of the Week was coming to a conclusion. A few beers made for a lighter affair this week. Big games were turned in by Maryland, Iowa, Michigan State, and Michigan. We had a barn burner in Evanston while the Gophers proved difficult to dispatch for the Buckeyes. Great showing by the up and coming Gophers! Meanwhile Rutgers and Illinois beg the question of whether or not ...
We are at the midpoint of the 2018 College Football Season. Yes, sadly it goes by quickly but we have a FULL SLATE of Big Ten games this week! And there are some good ones. Bucky Badger travels to Ann Arbor for a cross-divisional tilt. Purdue at Illinois is actually interesting? Yes it is! Jeffrey the Greek and B1G Kurt have a lot of housekeeping then analyze all seven conference clashes including their typical ATS picks. This one ran a little long but enjoy!
We are approaching the midpoint of the 2018 regular season and it was a good one for the Big Ten. The Hawkeyes row into Minneapolis and sail away with a victory, the Illini run out of Piscataway with a win, the Huskers continue their historic slide, and the Buckeyes continue to roll. It was a barn burner in East Lansing where the Fighting Fitzies are finally starting to gain momentum! The Game of the Week turned out to be a snooze-fest as the Wolverines exerted their power over a helpless Maryla...
We are now fully entrenched in the Big Ten season and it is AWESOME! The Toilet Bowl in Piscataway, Evanston's Team at Sparty, the battle for the Pig in Minneapolis, the Hoosiers in C-Bus, and Nebbie at Wiscy. This is why we watch! What an excellent slate of games this week. The Boilers and the Nitts get the BYE. Who loves B1G Ten Football?!! JTG and BK analyze every game...as always.
