So It Begins. Your Saturday Conference Open Game Thread

PrintWell, it kinda sorta already began, as Wisconsin crushed UNLV on Thursday and Michigan State rolled Youngstown State yesterday. Nothing unexpected in the empire, but today...today, my friends, it begins. And as is becoming our tradition when we kick off the inaugural open thread, an accompanying video, with an explanation.
Send Lawyers, Guns, and Money...The Blog Has Hit The Fan
This blog was started by a couple of lawyers a few years back, and as it grew, they brought in more lawyers (and by more, I mean they multiplied like rabbits with fucksaws, for Chrissakes), an accountant, a doctor, and some jackass that did 20+ years in the military. I'm naming this the official song of Off Tackle Empire, because for the most part, we're nothing but lawyers, guns, and money, and we're desperate men (and woman).
And I love Warren Zevon. And this acoustic version kicks some serious, major league ass.
It's been an eventful off-season in The Empire. The King Might Be Dead, Long Live The King. We've expanded our borders and our TV footprint, we have grown so cumbersome The Empire has been split in two, and we will never again crown co-champions.
We've gone on and on all winter. We've given our opinions on the OSU scandal, on who's going to win the divisions, the conferences, what's going to happen with expansion, and we've introduced you to the Midwestern tradition of potluck.
Now it's time to play football. The games today are as follows:
| Time (CST) | Visitor | Home | TV Channel | Big Ten Blog |
| 11:00 | Akron | Ohio State | ESPN | Along The Olentangy |
| 11:00 | Northwestern | Boston College | ESPNU | Sippin' On Purple |
| 11:00 | Indiana State | Penn State | BTN | Black Shoe Diaries |
| 11:00 | Tennessee Tech | Iowa | BTN | Black Heart Gold Pants |
| 11:00 | Middle Tennessee State | Purdue | BTN | Hammer And Rails |
| 2:30 | Chattanooga | Nebraska | BTN | Corn Nation |
| 2:30 | Minnesota | USC | ABC/ESPN 2 | The Daily Gopher |
| 2:30 | Western Michigan | Michigan | ABC/ESPN 2 | Maize and Brew |
| 2:30 | Arkansas State | Illinois | BTN | Hail To The Orange |
| 6:00 | Ball State | Indiana* | ESPN3.com | The Crimson Quarry |
*Game is played at Lucas Oil Field in Indianapolis. Indiana is considered the home team, and if there is a God, Jack Trudeau will be the sideline reporter and Hoosiers Coach Kevin Wilson will finish the ass beating he started over the summer. Go contribute to the delinquency of some more minors, Jack.
Come on in and have a seat. If you're new to our open threads, the rules are simple: No racism, no sexism, no homophobia, no pornography, and no illegal internet streams of the games. There's beer in the fridge, we've got wings, we've got burgers and brats on the grill, and the legal minds are in the other room talking Nuances of the Deposition.

What will be the Big Ten's record after this weekend?
I say 11-1, but anything from 9-3 to 12-0 is possible

I remember something about BTN.com starting a stream, I’m in DC and cant get the hawkeye game… Do I remember correctly or am I screwed?

It is prompting me to log in with my Directv info.

Possibly a problem.
I think your best bet is to head to the nearest Buffalo Wild Wings. It’s the only place I can think of that should be guaranteed to have all the B1G games, given that they’re such a big sponsor.

Mark May is slamming Ohio State again.
“They should be up 35-0!” Rabble rabble rabble!
Lou Holtz, who isn’t really an Ohio State homer (he picked Arkansas last year in the Sugar Bowl and was visibly upset when they lost and said “Arkansas beat themselves”) is being fair. I mean really? What does Mark May want? Does he not only want us to cut off the head of the Zips, but also to piss in its eye socket and give it AIDS first?

Hope so
I picked B1G to win all their games (except Minny) and SEC to lose all their big ones. I was wrong on Baylor, but it was close.
Maybe it's the weather
But I think SEC tends to play worse in the beginning of the year than they do in the end. B1G is kind of the opposite, unfortunately….

Nice game, 'Cats
Looked better than advertised. Thanks for not letting us down. /casts eye to W. Lafayette….
let;s see if Illinois struggled with Western Kentucky and Iowa struggled to beat Utah ST .. the pundits would be burying the B1G right now. But since it is the SEC, we won’t hear a peep about it.
The thing is...
Kentucky returned ALL FIVE of their offensive linemen, including an All-SEC guard and 10 people on defense.
They should have been able to steamroll Western Kentucky with running up the gut if they wanted to. They looked pathetic.

in the safety spot is stepping it up a lot too, forcing a turnover and tipping a couple passes.
all I know
is the D scored 2 TDs well at least #58 did
Nebraska, The Good Life
Kieth Stone, always smooth
First interception was stupid
guard for Broncos let a DL gap him, and the QB tried to throw over him instead of covering up…… good runback though

Minnesota is due about 45 yards in uncalled penalties later in the year...

Even if we don't win

When was the last time...
… that a B1G team was even this close in the 4th Quarter against USC in LA (Rose Bowl or Coliseum)?

Win or lose, this has been an impressive showing by Minnesota

If MN wins by a FG
Kiffin should be fired. Going for two twice and not trying two FG’s is just stupid.

*kicks a FG to win

Minny is going to get its shot... All they need is a field goal.
Going for two doesn’t look so cool now, does it Kiffy-poo?

Damn it
Way to give ’em hell Gophers. You proved you belong.

Game probably over
Not very good game management after that first down. But a great performance by the Gophers, anyway!
That arrogant son of a bitch Kiffin
almost got what was coming to him.

He'll go 8-5 again
and still have a job because nobody in the PAC 12 even pays attention unless a team is top 5 in November, and even then they don’t sell out. Employment by apathetic employer.

It would be hilarious and awesome if U$C was 1-11 over the rest of the season.

U$C will meet a B1G team in the post season………
Oh yeah never mind

Did
anyone hear how arrogant Lame Kitten was. “they played bad”, like Minnesota was a shit team. what a dickface
Nebraska, The Good Life
Kieth Stone, always smooth
Yes, really classy Lane
Looked like somebody ran over his dog after the game. Even a moral victory for the Gophers in this circumstance has to be considered a positive start to the season for Gophers. They will get better. Should probably limit Marquis’ exposure a little more though.

BYU
is epically failing. When they get into Ole Miss territory, they fall apart. Missed a reasonably short field goal.
Ole Miss
better not be ranked if they win this. Any other school from any other conference wouldn’t.
Wow
First ever Michigan game to be called for weather in 132 years of playing football.
And first ever time Notre Dame stadium was evacuated in their history too.
Hey gang, overflow thread is up.

The quintessential Big Ten smoking room.
Is it too early to declare that the B1G might be back?
Probably. But a few observations.
- Northwestern played defense, something they haven’t had since Clinton was in office.
- Minnesota dominated USC in the trenches, something they haven’t been able to do since the 60s.
- Purdue, who we all knew was going to be at the bottom of the conference even before the latest ACL tear, didn’t fold against against a decent non-AQ school (MTSU won 10 games in ’09 and went back to a bowl game again last year).
