The Big Ten is Back!!
Yep, they were gone for one year, but now those lovable losers are back. After laying a big fat 0-5 egg today, the Big Ten has once again regained the losing bowl season form that has made the conference the butt of jokes throughout the nation. Happy New Year!

Alabama-49
Michigan St (Big Ten co-champs)-7

Miss. St.-52
Michigan-14

Texas Tech-45
Northwestern-38

Florida-37
Penn St.-24

TCU-21
Wisconsin (Big Ten co-champs)-19

2. Legends and Leaders?
They weren't talking about sports right?

3. They certainly became legends today!
But not how they intended.

The buckeyes' are the only hope they have to avoid an across the board skunking.

6. How about Losers and Laughingstocks?
Saw that in a blog a little while ago and it seems to fit.

7. You're a fucking class act, Upton.
Yes, indeed. We all shed a tear when your Giants won the World Series. What a fucking joke. I notice you never congratulate anyone you don't like. You phony piece of shit. Sucks to be you.

8. Like you never go after the Pac-10..
Yeah okay.:eyes: I know you had a rough day, but if you hadn't have been boasting about such things like the Big Ten playing great defense, compared to the Pac-10, perhaps I wouldn't be pointing out how the 5 Big Ten teams gave up 204 points today, an average of 40.8 points per game..

Something you apparently don't realize Condem, nothing is really personal with me, it's all in good fun. Perhaps you should start thinking along the same lines..

Iowa won their Bowl game, Upton. Overcame a shitload of adversity to do so. Really. In the end...that's all I give a shit about. Call me selfish.

13. I go after the big 10 all the time,
but if I'm not mistaken, they still have 1 more bowl win this year than the Pac-10, though they should be able to even that up with a win over Virginia Tech (a team that also lost to James Fucking Madison) The Big 10's bowl performance this year is as bad as last year's Pac-10 Bowl performance. Upton, people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

17. Who would have guess Iowa and Illinois to be the ones to win for Big Ten. I am disgusted
with the bowl performances of the Big Ten this year. I figured scUM would lose, but for Sparty and Whisky to lose, unacceptable. Now I have to here the "SEC vs. BIG 10" meme for another fucking year.

Well as Yoda once said, "no, there is another".

Go Bucks!

20. GO BUCKS!
...from a buckeye stuck in central Illinois. Looked at going down to the Sugar Bowl tomorrow since I have a friend who lives there but I just couldn't bring myself to pay that much ($200 the last I checked) for a ticket.

18. Big Ten Bowl records for the last ten years (per Rivals)
Iowa 6-3
OSU 5-4 (Sugar Bowl still to be played)
Penn State 4-3
Whiskey 4-5
Minnesota 3-4 (I can't believe they've been in seven Bowls)
Michigan 2-6
MSU 1-5
Illinois 1-2
Purdue 1-4
Indiana 0-1
NW 0-5

That's a pathetic 27-42. However, I just pulled a muscle patting myself on the back for the Hawkeye performance.

21. Yeah, that was a raw deal, TZ.
I always respected Big Raff. I don't think Edsall is a significant improvement. Probably paying him a ton more, too.
