last season that illinois was over .500 in conference play: 2009-10.

illinois: 6 conference losses by a combined deficit of only 21 points after regulation; 4 losses by a combined deficit of only 1 point after regulation; all 9 losses by no more than 10 points.

Illinois first year coach 0-6, OSU first year coach 6-0 - that is perfect for a hot take.

Only way that Illinois has been a player in the Big Ten is when the coaches are willing to wade into the cesspool of the Chicago Public League and play the game necessary to pull talent from it.

Thank goodness Underwood was hired before Matta was let go. You never know what GS might have done.

Illinois has no shot here?

Just wait. You'll see.

I do not know why but I watched the pedsters play the shit gophers last night. I guess I was hoping for the big one to hit in slappy valley. I did not want either team to win the game but the gophers pulled it out of their asses in OT thanks to the pedsters crappy play in the second half.

Nebraska has a fighting chance to finish in the top half of the league this season. That's how down it is.

Wisconsin is @ Purdue tonight, coming off back to back losses to Rutgers and Nebraska, that may get fugly.

The corrupt Big Ten refs.

An IU team that lost in blowout fashion to Indiana St and IPFW, and is barely over .500 on the season, is 5th in the B1G. That speaks volumes.

Remember when it could be argued the B1G was the best conference in the country. Woof, that seems like an eternity ago.

not sure i've seen a conference as strong and deep as the big 12 is this year. there may not be a great team, but from the bottom to the top, it is outstanding.

Welp this Purdue/Wisconsin game isn't going to be very competitive

 

[OSU_Buckguy]
