Big Ten Spin: Atonement (Almost)

  • Nice win for Penn State!!

    http://247sports.com/Article/BT-Spin-Atonement-Almost-91137

    The Big Ten started Saturday off with nine wins after a rough 6-6 showing on Sept. 8. But the night shift produced a pair of home losses for the conference.

    Stay tuned Tuesday for Big Ten Blast, picks on Thursday and a Chat either Thursday or Friday.

    Atonement (almost)? Really?

    OSU barely wins over an unranked Cal team at home that if it had a FG kicker, the Buckeyes lose.

    Wisky should have lost at home to Utah State

    Michigan State got outmanned by Notre Dame

    Iowa struggled with FCS Northern Iowa

    Northwestern struggled with a lousy BC team

    Indiana lost to Ball State

    So, is atonement getting victories over UMass, Navy, two directional Michigans and neither of them being the good one, Arkie State and whoever the hell Illinois beat? LOL

    That's the point. They started the day 9-0 and laid an egg at night with the 2 losses and the shaky Wisconsin win. They almost went 12-0 and got that atonement, even though it would have been against lesser opponents as you stated. I think we agree.

    I don't see atonement for the Big 10 by taking advantage of lesser opponents and struggling with others. Atonement to me is getting a few notable wins of consequence. There wasn't one.

  • Can someone remind me why we downvote Steve? I joined in to be part of the incrowd, but I can't remember why?

    Sorry Steve, we're shooting the messenger here and the past few weeks.

    No hard feelings on my end, but I do hate the B1G. I really don't care to hear about them or see them outside of the Beav and on box scores.

    lol Frankly, I'm amused by it at this point. I don't usually join in.

    Basically, it comes down to people seeing Steve as an OSU shill. There's a couple other reasons people have to dislike him, but that's probably the majority reason.
