Brrly1 1,146 #1 Posted August 14, 2013 Well guys I am back or at least this particular post is. Well its been a long eight months or so without college ball so its now time again to play ball. As we all know we need to keep this as clean, everyone here already knows this but reminders don't hurt. Bashing is to be Expected, but Not Personal!!!!! No Exceptions!!!!! You do Any Harm towards another person and you will be Removed (Yes, even me!!!!) <-- placed in Red by Admin's and Moderators. We are kind of hoping that we will have some guys that will stay in every week so they have the bragging rights for a year. There will be a weekly bragger but thats good for only a week. Hopefully some of you all will join the challenge for the season. I guess other than the picks need to be made by midnite the night before the first game of the week. Steveasaurus will post the games for us and will post starting time for the first game of the week. Anyone can join in. This is a fun thread, expected to remain that way!!! Thanks again As always, Go Hawkeyes!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,701 #8 Posted August 14, 2013 Well, I think Illinois is going to have another rough season, but Northwestern may surprise some people. Here is a link to the entire Big Ten Schedule so you can see who plays who through out the season. I will post the games for week one real soon... http://www.thefootballschedule.com/schedule_big_ten.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hodge71 664 #9 Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) Not sure what this is all about but I'm very interested to say the least. Love me some Fall Saturdays filled with football and Sunday filled with Wheel Horses. I hope nobody crucifies the Penn State guy......

JimD 3,345 #11 Posted August 14, 2013 Hey John, don't you worry bout Smedley. He gets a little mean when the Bucks get behind. Either way, Smedley or the Buckeyes will leave a big duck tear in that Hawkeye this year... Jeff (hodge71) welcome to the annual Big Ten Football thread. Penn State guys are welcome too. There will be no crucifixions this year. Now where's Duke and Scott and BK and Joebob and anyone else I missed from last year. C'mon guys, get in here and let's have a good time with some light hearted ribbing and gamesmanship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,701 #12 Posted August 14, 2013 My upsets look like Illinois beating Southern Illinois...Northwestern beating Cal...and ...wait for it...Northern Illinois beating Iowa at Iowa (they almost got them last year at Soldier Field)...remember Northern Illinois went to the Orange Bowl last year and ended up making a good game of it. Here we go. GO ILLINI...GO CATS...GO HUSKIES :orcs-cheers: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,017 #13 Posted August 14, 2013 Syracuse to the Final Four! DOME BEERS! OOPS! Wrong sport! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brrly1 1,146 #14 Posted August 15, 2013 Hodge71, you have to believe. Penn State is a great team with alot of history. O'Brian the new coach is doing a good job with those kids, keeping there minds on football instead of worrying about stuff that doesn't even involve them. I kind of wish there would be more guys that like Penn State, even better I wish there more people that liked the Hawkeyes so I don't get ganged up on here. (Not that I'm really worried about it).Stevasaurus, you are getting awfully brave, I heard the boys in Vegas don't agree with you. Your going to be bringing up the bottom again this year. Better be careful about betting against my Hawkeyes!!!! Lol Go Hawkeyes!!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SousaKerry 501 #15 Posted August 15, 2013 (edited) Hey I was born in Pennsylvania so they are always going to be my 2nd team behind OSU.. Even though I live in Michigan I still stay loyal to my roots. I'm not a turncoat I'm an infiltrator sent to cause confusion and chaos to the enemy teams from up north. Death to AA long live the Scarlet and Grey!! Edited August 15, 2013 by SousaKerry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HorseFixer 2,012 #16 Posted August 16, 2013 Well as I said and made a prediction a couple years ago It's Going to be fun again Soon as Brady Hoke is the Real Deal and we finally got the right coach at the helm of the Winningest Team in College Football. Three Years of D&%& Rodrigus almost ruined this team now its back on the map and getting highly ranked recruits Like Jabrill Peppers who some say is the next Charles Woodson. http://www.mlive.com/wolverines/index.ssf/2013/08/five_michigan_football_commits.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lVDO04zBtw GO BLUE 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
