JimD 3,345 #203 Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) Rough year so far. Let's face it, The Big Ten is in shambles right now. No matter who ya pick, it's wrong. Some of the teams that should be winning are falling apart and some of the teams that were weak the last few seasons are winning now. I guess we've achieved some form of parity in the conference but it's not advancing the B1G to be able to compete with the SEC and other strong conferences. The burning question of the week: What is a Ute? Edited September 21, 2014 by JimD 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,528 #208 Posted September 21, 2014 Rick, I have just been lucky. One thing different this year from last...I have picked the Iowa and Northwestern games so far. Last year these 2 teams killed me. I could easily have another 2 or 3 losses this year just from these guys. Iowa plays Purdue next week...at Purdue. Which Iowa and which Purdue is going to show up? Northwestern plays at Penn St.should be an easy game for Penn St. BTW, I have been finding a few lucky pennies on the ground lately. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,528 #211 Posted September 21, 2014 Hey Brrly...if Michigan keeps playing like they have been...the bunch of us may be able to get tickets at the "BIG HOUSE" cheap for the Illinois vs Michigan game. Maybe some seats on the 50 yard line about 10 rows up. Or we could go and watch Purdue beat Iowa this next weekend...cheap tickets there also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RMCIII 838 #215 Posted September 22, 2014 Went from being tied for 2nd place with Hodge in the lead to the next rung up from the bottom! I've dug myself out of worse situations, but the way the B1G looks this year, it may be pretty difficult. Rob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,528 #216 Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) Rob...you had a bad week...really only 1 extra loss with what happened with your picks. You were not the only one that had trouble picking last weeks games. Ya, it would have been tough the next few years to come back, but there are probably 7 games a week on average this year to pick...instead of 5 or 6...9 this week (starting conference play) and I don't think anyone has a clue who in the Big Ten is really good. Purdue or Indiana could beat Michigan or Ohio St. this year. Illinois could beat Nebraska...Iowa may actually win a game in the 3rd quarter...or not be as lucky as they have been. Does anyone really know what Rutgers and Maryland are capable of yet? How good is Penn St. really? How good is Wisconsin or Michigan St. away from home?? Is Nebraska really as good as they looked against Miami?? Could Northwestern beat Purdue, Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa?? It is going to be hard to look at the non-conference record of this conference and try to pick the games in the next 3 weeks for sure. Here is my secret way to pick the games this week....

HorseFixer 2,012 #218 Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) If by some chance with my Schedule, and I forget or miss picking games for whatever reason, I am Appointing Dino Executor of my picks, in my absence. I hope he doesn't pick MICHIGAN. Signed THE DUKE Go Hawkeyes Edited September 22, 2014 by HorseFixer 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 40,740 #219 Posted September 22, 2014 Too bad you can't watch Terry Bradshaw pick these games. You could pick the exact opposite of him and at least bat .750! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,528 #223 Posted September 23, 2014 Just so everyone knows...Robs 2 picks (that he didn't pick) were counted as losses sense the games had already started when he posted them. Make sure your picks add up to the number of games being played... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brrly1 1,146 #224 Posted September 23, 2014 As we all well know second place is for the birds! I am really not hoping to finish there or who knows I could end up in the basement serving donuts and ensure or something crazy like that, anyways I am not going there. I am going with the home teams this week other than one. I'll bet you'll never guess which one??? Give up??? I'll take the Iowa Hawkeyes over Purdue at home. So just for my "Special" Dino we are going with Penn State, Iowa, Rutgers, Wisconsin, Michigan State, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio State, Nebraska I just luv it when a plan comes together. Once again boys in girls it time for As always, Go Hawkeyes!!!! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
