21 Days - 30 B1G Years - 1990

Some years are just messy. This was one of them. Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, and Michigan State all went 6-2 in the league. What was weird about this multi-team tie, was that the conference didn't have to go deep into the tiebreakers to sort out the mess. Iowa won at Michigan State. It won at Michigan. It pounded Illinois in Iowa City. So who did the Hawkeyes lose to? There was a one point loss to Ohio State. And then, an inexplicable 31-24 loss at 6-5 Minnesota. It was a head-scratcher then. It still is today.

But, Iowa got back to Pasadena for the third time in ten years. The Hawkeyes then lost by double digits, also for the third time in ten years.

Penn State whipped a favored SEC team in a bowl game. Not the first time, not the last.

As I Recall

Iowa’s failure boiled down to three plays. One of them was a receiver running the wrong route. The other two I don’t recall, but they were also mental type errors.

But hey, it’s 1991, the staff is in good shape, Hayden is young….. we’ll get ’em next time!

What is this 'Cooper' you speak of?

In the name of the Woody, the Bo, and the Mustache Ride. Amen.

Wasn't 1990 Bobby "fucking" Olive?

The man responsible for my burning hatred of OSU.

Olive is only responsible for my "burning" hatred of OSU

Their cheating is responsible for my “festering” hatred and their mouth-breathing fans are repsonsible for my unadulterated loathing.

So yes, I suppose I DO hate easily.
