... then even if they do, I don’t expect much out of them. That means guys like Bobby Riddell and Ryne Smith will have to step up. We might even have a Chris Reid sighting. As difficult as the Big Ten will be this year we do not need this added degree of difficulty.

Maybe we jumpstarted another Big Twelve team to the top of their conference with an Insight Bowl loss.

Too Much Information: A Look at the Michigan State Spartans' Defense
Published 7 days ago by T Kyle King at Dawg Sports
... While Michigan State had some reasonably solid defensive performances in which the squad held Iowa to 13 points and Purdue to seven (both in East Lansing), Mark Dantonio’s team seldom acquitted itself well against the tougher teams on its slate. Sparty surrendered 21 points at Michigan (which ranked eleventh in the Big Ten in scoring offense), 29 at Indiana (which ranked tenth in the Big Ten in scoring offense), 38 at California, 45 to Ohio State, and 49 at Penn State. Although the Capital One Bowl will be Michigan State’s first neutral ...

... course; this happened in large part because of him. And so off into the sunset or sunrise or whenever the guys feels like fishing. Purdue football isn't currently in great shape and will probably need to find a new identity, but if all it takes to get to the Rose Bowl is a unique offense and a coach with a funny mustache, then the one thing Tiller can leave behind is a sense of hope. I mean, have you seen Danny Hope's mustache? -- Kevin, Black Shoe Diaries Tiller is a dead ...

I Can't Support This
Published 11/7/2008 by noreply@blogger.com (JP) at Sports Investments
Black Shoe Diaries, whom I'm a big fan of, is clearly made up of penn state fan writers, and psu fan readers. But this is just stupid: I know it's meant to poke at your critics and blah blah blah, but why in the hell would you throw a possible jinx out there when you only have a little over a 50% chance of finishing the regular season undefeated. Nevermind that even if you go undefeated, there's still a chance you don't make the MNC. I would assume you have about as much emotionally invested in this season as I do financially, so would you ...

Have At It: Blog Poll Draft Ballot
Published 11/3/2008 by PB @ BON at Burnt Orange Nation
... Speaking of whom: The Nittany Lions have a nice road win at Ohio State, an impressive home thumping of Oregon State, and a two-touchdown victory over a good-not-great Illinois team. Good enough, at this moment, to keep them above Alabama. But the road ahead could bring trouble. Penn State's remaining schedule (at Iowa, Indiana, Michigan State) adds little value. What happens if Oregon State tanks down the stretch? If Michigan State's luck runs out? If Illinois drops its final two to Ohio State and Northwestern? ...
