Other than the fact that I had Mizzou -2.5 and they gave the damn game away. I just despise the Big Ten. All of them.

All most every one of their schools reminds me of Bama, pre-Saban. Tons of crap talking about how truly awesome they are simply because they WERE awesome years ago. I got so sick of Bama fans who would spout off about championships their school had when gramps was attending (e.g., stupid shirts like "got 12?" yet they were getting consistently beat by Crooms). At least with their recent success, I can tolerate the smack.

The entire Big Ten acts like this and Michigan is the perfect example. What in the world does it matter that they are the "winningest team in football," especially since they sucked the last half decade. Those arrogant pricks were truly disappointed they didn't draw a fellow "elite team" like Georgia or Florida, despite drawing a ranked, better-record team (who beat both of those).

Legends and Leaders! Really!?!

Anyways... that's why I hate them.

They're supposed to have some high octane mostly-run offense. I like to watch teams that run the football well. Not teams that can consistently get 3.5 yards and a cloud of dust, but teams that can score quickly and hit a lot of big plays off the run.

They're very MSU '94-ish in their offense...big offensive line, tough inside runner RBs, but Wisconsin's QB is also outstanding. (okay, maybe not so MSU '94) Everybody in the stadium knows they're running off tackle, but there's not a thing the D can do to stop it. This is a bad matchup for TCU.

Since Carr left, sure they have been pretty bad. But they went 11-2 in 2006 and 9-2 in 2007. That's not bad at all, I would love for us to do that if that is the definition of "sucking for half a decade."</span></font></div>
