Across The Empire...Your Hate Filled Saturday Conference Open Thread

PrintAhhh, Hate Week. Whether it's Iowa-Minnesota, OSU-UM, Indiana-Purdue, or the Grandbaby of them all, the White Hot Fury for the Ugliest Goddamn Trophy In The History of the World Land Grant Trophy that is MSU-PSU, Hate Week, in all of it's Glory, has arrived is almost past..
One of the great things about the 21st Century is the ability to watch old OSU-UM games on ESPN Classic. As I type this, John Navarre threw a desperation pick to Dustin Fox to lose to OSU in 2001. Hang on...let me get into my DVR library...now I'm watching Anthony Gonzalez break UM's heart in 2005.
All right, enough bashing of Michigan. There will be plenty enough of that later today.
Heh.
Lots at stake today. By the end of the day, we could have three co-champions, two co-champions, or a stand alone champion. If we have three co-champs, there are only two BCS spots available, so someone will be getting a nice pair of pissy pants for Christmas. We also have three rivalry trophies up for grabs, and what many people think is the Greatest Rivalry in All of Sports, your humble correspondent included.
Quick previews after the jump. All kickoff times are CST, because I hate the east coast. Hate, Hate Week, get it?
Michigan at Ohio State, 11:00, ABC: Ohio State has a lot to play for, namely at least a share of what would be their sixth straight Big Ten title, and Michigan would like nothing more than to put a stick into Ohio State's bicycle tire spokes. Oh, and love or hate OSU, six straight titles, shared or outright, is pretty damn impressive. Michigan State fans find themselves in a weird position of cheering for their biggest rival, because if OSU, Wisconsin, and MSU all win out, conventional wisdom has the two BCS bids going to OSU and Wisconsin. Can MSU fan root for their not-so-big brother? Will it matter? If this game were in Ann Arbor, I'd give Michigan a fighting chance. But it's in Columbus, and barring a complete OSU meltdown, like to the tune of five turnovers that UM converts into TD's, I don't see Michigan coming out of Columbus with a win. Oh, I warn you: Ohio State, for the second year in row, will be wearing hideous throwback uniforms. Can we not ever do this again? Please? G. Gordon Gee bitch slapped Boise State for not playing a tough schedule. He should've bitch slapped them for their ugly ass uniforms and blue field...but he can't, because these throwbacks make Boise's uniforms look cool. Terrible, just...terrible.
Michigan travels to Columbus, Indiana on Saturday. The horror...the horror.
Michigan State at Penn State, 11:00, ESPN2: Like I said above, even if Michigan State wins this game, they'll need some help, presumably, to get to a BCS game. But first, they need to take care of business and bring home the Land Grant trophy, as embarrassing as that may be to put in the trophy case. Penn State is a lot better now than they were at the beginning of the year, save their trip to Columbus, and Happy Valley is never a pleasant experience for the visitor. If there is one of the 'Big Three' that could lose today, I would have to pick MSU in this game. Personally, I think it wouild be great to see MSU get to a BCS bowl, but they have the toughest draw. Penn State has looked good for the last month, and will be a formidable bowl opponent for whoever they meet.
Shortly after this picture was taken, John L. Smith punched the trophy.
Indiana at Purdue, 11:00, Big Ten Network. A month ago, I thought this game would have bowl implications for at least one, if not both of these teams. Alas, 'tis not to be. Indiana came close against Michigan and Northwestern, and but for a Damarlo Belcher drop in the end zone against Iowa, they would be playing for more than a trophy. For Purdue, this season had a black cloud from week one. Injuries, bad luck, and some unlucky bounces ended Purdue's season almost before it began. Still, they haven't quit, and that's a testament to coach Danny Hope and his staff, and damn near ended Michigan State's BCS hopes last week. Although the Old Oaken Bucket isn't one of the more talked about trophy games, it's one of the oldest and this year's edition is essentially the bowl game for Purdue and IU.
Phonetically, the initials at the top of the bucket say "I pee". Heh.
Iowa at Minnesota, 2:30, Big Ten Network. This is not the way Iowa envisioned their season would end when it began. The largest, and most talented, senior class in school history had visions of, at minimum, a Big Ten title. Four heartbreaking losses, three of them in conference, have relegated Iowa to Capital One Bowl Week. I think this is the first time the Hawkeyes have travelled to TCF Bank Stadium, so they'll have to re-create some of their oldest and most sacred traditions besides walking off with the Floyd of Rosedale. Like christening a bathroom stall, or tearing down the goalposts after they win. For Minnesota, a victory would be the first rivalry game victory for the outgoing senior class, and would be a very nice feather in the cap of interim coach Jeff Horton. How about scoring, for starters? I'd have to look it up, but I think the last time Minnesota scored...not beat, scored...against Iowa was in 1998. The only reason I give Minnesota a chance is because Iowa has got to be demoralized after last week's close loss to Ohio State that knocked them out of the Big Ten title race.
If Minnesota wins, the pig is theirs. If they score, they get a baffle.
Northwestern at Wisconsin, 2:30, ABC/ESPN. For Wisconsin, it's simple: Win, and they go to a BCS game, be it the Rose Bowl or at-large berth. They have been the best team in the conference from start to finish, and haven't been beating opponents as much as they have gone all Spanish Inquisition on them. Normally, I'd give Northwestern a chance here, but they have three big things going against them: They're on the road, their defense is juuuuust above Michigan's in suckiness, and Dan Persa, the Great Equalizer, is gone for the season. Enjoy your BCS game, Wisconsin fans!
And I hope you guys hang out here today. Enjoy the games, and embrace the hate!

It's just too bad the Big Ten doesn't have a National Championship Team.
Wisconsin and OSU are both worthy, but the top three teams in the conference this year have all taken each other out.

I want Auburn to get shocked by South Carolina.
Auburn is humiliated and OSU gets South Carolina in the Sugar Bowl. Win-win

But the kick return TD was pretty nice.
Who cares if it probably means nothing?

Wisconsin returns the kickoff to Northwestern's 48.
My God, they’re probably about to hang 49 in the first half.

Style points my ass
I hope UW gets into the title and gets demolished by Oregon. Then voters can stop paying attention to scores in games that were over before the half.
Schadenfreude ist die schoenste Freude
I get your point
but the fact that it is only the third quarter makes it hard not to seem like they are running up the score. If they are doing this doing the fourth, then I’ll get annoyed.
If Wisconsin keeps scoring
can they be the new team that Fitzgerald hates please?
Not even trying to be a dick, genuinely hoping…please.

Everyone will hate Wisconsin
There won’t be a coach left in the Big Ten who will take their foot off the gas against them next year.

Never said they were. But you don’t score 70 by accident. And I hope that’s how Northwestern views it, so they can focus on revenge instead of my hapless Hawkeyes.

LMFAO
Northwestern plays everyone tough and seems to be able to knock off decent teams occaissionally (today’s game notwithstanding… they are clearly outclassed). I think they will continue to do that regardless of who they focus on.
What are they supposed to do, kneel 3 times then punt it away?
I think that would be more disrespectful than scoring.

"That's alright, that's okay, you're gonna work for us someday."
That is what the people must be chanting on Northwestern’s campus.

I know I'm in the minority on this, but I don't mind teams running up the score.
If it hurts your feelings when they score on you, you should stop them.

Unfortunately
it does work. I think it’s part of Dantonio’s (and MSU’s) problem in the rankings. They get up by three scores then sit and run the clock out. Seems voters are more impressed with the margin of victory.
Holy Bernie Bierman, Minnesota might pull this off
Still over two minutes, but they have the ball and the lead.

Nah, that was meant to be humorous
but it came off as kind of snarky. I’m happy that the Minnesota seniors have something to cheer. God knows, they deserve it.

Congrats to Minnesota.
They showed more heart today than my Hawkeyes have all season. They deserved to win. I just wish we didn’t have to lose the same way every game. You guys can rip the Hawks all you want, but put yourselves in our shoes: highest expectations (arguably) in almost 25 years. 5 losses. In every one, we led or were tied in the 4th quarter. The offense stalled, the defense broke and we lose all of them. Should’ve been 6 with Indiana. Just think about that before you go celebrating.
Except maybe Minnesota fans. They’ve earned it.
"Lighten up Francis."
Very magnanimous
I thought Iowa was one of the favorites going into the season. Very talented senior class, great players on both sides of the ball, but things just didn’t work out.
You still have a great coach and a great program, and you’ll do the conference proud in the bowl game, wherever that may be.

no believe me
we deserved to lose. there was no heart. DJK was the only one who came to play. it’s been a very disappointing season for us
and that's another Hawkeye first down... EHAWW!!
If the score in Little Rock holds, OSU will likely get Arkansas in the Sugar. MSU might get LSU in the Capital One.

i just realized illinois can finish tied for 4th in the big ten this year

When I was a kid, I didn't want to be a doctor or a fireman. I wanted to be Super Mario. It's the most literal pipe dream I've ever had.
BCS Games?
Who gets the last BCS bid?
If Oklahoma St beats Oklahoma and loses to Nebraska, the last spot will probably be down to the Cowboys and Razorbacks, right?
I assume:
Big 10: OSU and Wisconsin
Pac 10: Oregon and Stanford
SEC: Auburn
ACC: Va Tech
Big East: West Virginia
Big 12: OU/Ok St/Nebraska
Non AQ: TCU
That leaves one spot. If South Carolina upsets Auburn, then Auburn gets the last spot.
If Auburn wins and Oklahoma State wins out, my guess is that only leaves Arkansas.
If Auburn wins and Oklahoma St beats Oklahoma and loses to Nebraska, then I would guess the last spot is between Oklahoma St (10-2) and Arkansas (10-2). Maybe LSU still gets consideration—especially by the Sugar Bowl?
LSU (this year’s frauds) go down to Arkansas.
Now all we have to do is root for Spurrier next week to finish the chaos.
why do i have to watch 2 shitty teams play
usc vs nd….i want OK St vs OKH u stupid fking abc fktards

I seem to have watched a lot of SEC football this weekend
Bama_Auburn yesterday, the end od Arkansas-LSU earlier, Miss State-Ol Miss and Georgia-Gtech now. And lemme tell you, this is one overrated conference. If Auburn reaches the NCG- and I’m not convinced they beat the Gamecocks next week- Oregon (or TCU) is gonna beat the living hell out of them. Wisconsin would beat any of those teams by 30. The only thing worse is UConn (UConn!) Going to the BCS over any of the 55 or so teams in the FCS better than them.

Yeah
Lot of sloppiness. What’s irritating is that people will point to SC’s win over Clemson (if the result holds) as a big win. Even though they have 6 wins. Same with Georgia over Georgia Tech. I saw an article praising LSU because of their schedule. Tennessee and North Carolina were specifically mentioned as good wins.
What irritates me is that people automatically assume that schools who beat teams like Bama are automatically the best while Bama is definitely still excellent. Does anyone think to consider whether Bama may just not be as good? Of course not. Why? Because they are in the SEC. My personal favorite was LSU getting credit for barely beating a horrific Ole Miss team, and Auburn getting praise for barely beating mediocre Georgia. And why is Miss State ranked?!
looks like
