Y'all B1G mother truckers better watch out. It's being reported Brian Ferentz has resigned effective at the end of the season. I can't wait to see what new level of fresh hell we unleash. (it'll likely be very similar)

3 more sons and a group of grandsons. It's going to be epic.

I know that Michigan will probably roll over Purdue this weekend similar to the rest of their games, but can you imagine the uproar if they won like 28-24?   Coming off a bye, in a trap game (@ PSU next weekend), against a coach who handled Michigan's offense better than any other team they played last year.  I know Purdue sucks this year but crazier things have happened

They better run the horsefeathers table just to show how little it meant to do the stupid horsefeathers they were doing.

Pretty sure Purdue's OL is basically devastated, so UM probably shouldn't have trouble with their offense

didnt the NCAA thing become public before they played MSU?  The MSU beat down wasn't even as close as the 49-0 score would suggest.

I think OSU better not get routed by Michigan again this year, or Day will have a lot of explaining to do to the powers that be

According to rumor (so take it as you will) the Michigan dude was on the Central Michigan sideline when they played MSU. So this is going to be very bad not just for Michigan. 

Outside of MHJr this is as weak an OSU team has looked in long time. At least since before Tressel.

They are arguing that they didn’t know about the sign stealing until Wednesday of game week and having to focus on changing signs hurt their focus on preparing for the game or something. Of course there’s always rumors about this being the worst kept secret in football and all the big ten teams were talking about it for the last 2 seasons so not sure how you could be shocked. Who knows…

Michigan insiders today are claiming Michigan is launching an investigation into OSU as they found ties between the PI firm investigating them and Ryan Day’s family. That in itself is strange but isn’t necessarily illegal, but there’s a question of how the PI managed to obtain a spreadsheet on Michigan’s cloud that was sent to WaPo.  
 

Doesnt absolve Michigan of anything they may have done illegally but it does add some complexity and additional intrigue to this story if true.

Honestly I know it is not how things are done anymore....but if you really believe signs are being stole, HUDDLE, run the play in with a 3rd WR or TE

This Iowa NU game is an embarrassment to football and Wrigley Field.

I watch too little football to be this tired of trying to figure out what counts as pass interference

The whole of the Big Ten West is the same team - meddling to poor - no chance whatsoever in the Championship game.

Should have been linemen down field on GA. They had a guard and a tackle 10 yards beyond the LOS.

That one was very weird, but the one that really bugged me was earlier in the drive.  Ball overthrown by 10 yards, receiver gave up on the route and initiated the limited contact, and called so far after the play the broadcast didn't realize it.

[Derwood]

Someone turned down all the defensive sliders in this USC v UW game

[Andy]

I could give a rat's ass about Brian Kelly most of the time but I really don't want him beating Alabama again the same day ND lays yet another turd burger

Cool moment today for Illini walk-on QB John Paddock. Grew up a huge Illini fan, chose tobforgo a starting gig at Ball State to attend Illinois as a walk-on, then was thrust into a 4th and 11 situation with 2 minutes to play and Illinois down 5. Proceeded to convert on 3 of 3 pass plays for the game winning TD.

Your B1G West leaders got the W today with 169 yards of total offense.

Most impressive Illini drive since Juice Williams against Ohio State in 07
