I have Northwestern vs. TAMU on now, which is probably the only game I even kinda want to watch...

might tune into the UI-UCLA "Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl" to see if either team even bothers to show up.
 
uh, yeah, so Northwestern's punt formation... where they only put 4 guys on the line to block... that's a disaster waiting to happen.
 
Uh... what's everybody doing today? not watching football apparently.
 
NW is lucky to be down just 13. I do like coach Fitzgerald though. Easy to see why Brandon wanted to talk to him over the U of M job although it worked out for the best.

I will watch part of the Kraft game later only because I am home and its on but dear god could be 2 teams playing in a bowl that are more a mess than Ill and UCLA. Illinois's coach's have threatened not to show for the game and UCLA had to get an NCAA waiver just to play in the game.
 
B1G 1-1 So far.

Need Northwestern to pick it up and Illinois to come through today.
 
B1G is not looking very good, so far. Purdue with a close one against WESTERN, Iowa going down to Oklahoma and now N'western getting smoked by A&M. Not good. Lots of games left but probably another blah bowl season on the horizon for our conference.

To be honest, the only B1G bowl wins I see left are UM, OSU and maybe Illinois. PSU wont keep up with Houston, Wisky doesn't have the D to slow down Oregon, MSU doesn't win bowl games, Nebraska will struggle against the SC defense.

I hope im wrong and the conference does good, but I just don't have a good feeling. Im getting tired of listening to the fucking media bash our conference because of bowl games. It seems the only thing that matters is if you get the win. They dont take into consideration that a game like Iowa vs Oklahoma shouldn't even happen. Pitting a 7 th place conference team against a 4th place team isnt very fair, IMO.
 
PSU should destroy Houston. Their offense might be terrible, but their running game should have their way with Houston and their defense will hold Houston under 20.

PSU 35 Houston 14
 
Illinois looks pretty pathetic right now too. damn.
 
Doesn't seem like there's barely anybody there in that baseball park for this Hunger Bowl game.
 
I've heard this game called the Interim Bowl. It should be the Toilet Bowl. These teams are terrible.

I hope you're right, but I beg to differ. PSU has way to many issues right now. I think they will confuse the PSU defense and demoralize this team even further.

It also doesn't help it's a home game for UCLA and it was a home game for A&M.

Yeah, most of these bowl games are pretty much home games for the nonBig 10 team. One of the reasons that Michigan's winning record against the SEC in bowl games is impressive.

GO BLUE! BEAT THE HOKIES!

Houston sucks.

They'd be a 6-6 or 7-5 team in the Big Ten.

I guess we will just have to wait and see what happens. I think Houston wins, possibly by 2 or more TD's. PSU is in a Downward spiral and they play a team they SHOULD beat who has an excellent ofense.

Working. There's no football worth watching today anyway.
 
The best units that the Houston offenses and defenses have faced this season are their respective scout teams. Houston is a fraud.
