Big Ten Blogger Roundtable Week 3 - OMG GAME OF TEH CENTURY!!!1!!!
Gather around folks, it's Big Ten Blogger Roundtable Time. Time for all the members of the BTB to answer my questions and do their best not to look foolish before their readership. As that's a nearly impossible thing to do, we'll just stick to answering questions. Last week's questions and roundup can be found at Black Heart Gold Pants.
These are not just blogger questions, dear reader. If you've got something to say about one, or any of these questions, feel free to drop some knowledge in the comments section and if you hit spell check before you submit, I might even include them in the round up. I'll have my answers up later this week and you can check back here on Friday for the Round Up.
Now, on to the questioning.
1. We’re two weeks in and everyone in the Big Ten, minus the two Michigan schools (and Illinois - Thnx lostincali - Ed.), are 2-0. This week marks the end of your early "tune-up" or serious OOC play. Are you satisfied with the way your team has played against the cupcakes on your schedule, or happy with the way they’ve competed against serious competition?
2. You knew this was coming. This week’s OMG Game of teh Century!!!!1!!1!! until next week’s OMG Game of teh Century!!!!1!!1!! is Ohio State versus Southern Cal. Who are you pulling for and why? Further, if you’re pulling for one particular team tell me why they’ll win, or won’t. If you’re like me and will be attempting to cure a sunburn from over exposure to the sun during the Michigan Notre Dame game by drinking large quantities of whiskey instead of watching the game, state your excuse.
3. Besides the above mentioned Game of the Century, there are actually some decent match ups this week in the Big Ten. Purdue v. Oregon; Wisconsin v. Fresno State; Michigan v. Notre Dame; Michigan State v. Florida Atlantic; or Iowa v. Iowa State. I said decent. I didn’t say they were all good. Pick the best game from that group, pick the worst game from that group, and Minnesota and Illinois bloggers must post an apology for scheduling Montana State and Louisiana Lafayette respectively.
4. Out of Conference scheduling is always something that draws the ire of journalists and bloggers alike. You all know how weak your OOC really is. Admit it. You’re sad. So fix it. Pick two teams out of conference you really wish your school would schedule. Nursing colleges and the Center for Veterinary Sciences are verboten. Pick two major conference middle to heavy weights or two heavy weight non-BCS conference programs to add to the schedule. (Please note you get to keep your two patsies per season).
5. All college football fans love to tailgate. Even you, you mothers' basement dwelling bloggers, you. Name your beverage of choice on game days. Alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverage, your readers need to know these things about you, to judge you. Confirm all their suspicions.
Bonus Question!
6. Rivalry games dot the schedule this week. If your team is playing in a rivalry game, say something nasty about your opponent then predict a lopsided score to infuriate the opposing fanbase. If you're not playing a rival, then start a rivalry by saying something nasty about your opponent and then predict a lopsided score to infuriate the opposing fanbase. Or just give me a non-offensive prediction and a reason to watch.
Comments
Don't just blame the Michigan schools for the Big Ten not being perfect
I think some people down in Missouri would like to point out that the Zooker lost in St. Louis again.

Not trying to be criticial
Just like to point out Zook’s shortcomings ever since he voted Florida into the NC Game over a team from his own conference.
