The Big Ten Conference announced Monday morning that Nebraska's Nov. 7 game at Northwestern will kick off at 11 a.m. CT, and will be televised on BTN.

This week's home game against Wisconsin is set for 2:30 p.m., with television coverage on FS1.

I'm a bit shocked that Bo Nix posted such good numbers.

Not sure what to think about Michigan yet. 

Love what I saw out of the tackles. Ryan Hayes and Mayfield look like surefire NFL draft picks to me. Both these dudes will play on Sundays. They have four good RBs that all bring something different to the table and compliment each other well. They are young at WR outside of Ronnie Bell, but they have so much speed there. Giles Jackson, AJ Henning, and Roman Wilson all flashed elite acceleration and speed. 

Erick All looks REALLY promising at TE. Joe Milton is super talented and played well, but really wasn’t asked to do much. He had some nice throws, but also some inaccurate ones that were a light high, behind, or overthrown. Talent is there clear as day for anyone to see. He’s gigantic and can move, and his arm strength is ridiculous. He can just flick his wrist and shoot it 50 yards in the air on a frozen rope. Have to develop him more though. He looks promising, but it was one game. He needs to clean some things up and continue playing well for an entire season. I will say this though- he flashed all the raw ability and talent that could make him a very high draft pick if he develops. He is gigantic and can really run with power and speed, and his arm strength is ridiculous.

I was impressed.  Harbaugh finally letting go of the 1970s offense and actually developing a program QB, instead of shopping for one.

in Minnesota’s defense they were severely impeded by their coronavirus losses. You could tell it hurt them badly to not have a kicker or a punter and to not have their starting right side of the offensive line but I still think Michigan beats them soundly.

Things might be setting up nicely for the Wolverines this year with the Wisconsin quarterback looking like he won’t play when they get together with Michigan.

No Covid, Nubbz, just busy.😎

I'm teaching a military history course I built over the summer, and it's a big time-sink on the first live run-through.
If I had the time/coin might have signed up for it.Any specific Era or area?

Offense looks promising and if not for a few missed fg’s, dropped td’s, and shoestring tackles/trip-ups where there was nothing but green in front for a Michigan offensive player- Michigan would’ve put up 60+ points; on the road- in a night game- vs a ranked team- in the season opener. That shit just doesn’t happen for Michigan in decades if not ever- so it does give me some hope for them going forward. 

They have to figure out the FG kicking and clean up and fine tune some things on offense- and they’ll be just fine. 

I’ll believe in Milton when he does it for an entire season. But so far so good. And his raw talent is obvious to anyone with a set of eye balls. That’s easily the strongest arm I’ve seen a Michigan QB possess since that single season of Ryan Mallett. Plus the dude is 6’5, 240+ plus and can really run. He could wind up being a really high draft pick if he develops. 

This offense would be a lot better with a 6’4” Nico Collins snatching deep balls and going up for fades in the red zone. That definitely still stings and might bite them down the road. 

Defensive secondary also clearly missing their #1 Corner and a guy that would’ve been a draft pick in Ambry Thomas. 

Michigan would be a way different team with both those guys.

https://www.amazon.com/Rebel-Cause-Book-John-Dyer-ebook/dp/B08KTN5HJV/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=dyer+rebel&qid=1603712731&sr=8-1

I have been shamelessly promoting it here.  A friend in Boston is actually reading it and claims he likes it.  The wife said my sentences were too short for her (!!) initially but then it got more fluid.  I'm 26,000 words into Book Two now.  I'm enjoying it anyway.  I flip the script at Chancellorsville.

In 1858, a young Virginia lad heads off to Virginia Military Institute for study. He comes to the attention of an unusual professor there named Thomas Jackson. Boy meets girl, falls in love, gets engaged, but in the interim war breaks out and he is called to be junior aide de camp to now General Jackson and participates in his Valley Campaign, is injured and misses the Seven Days, but returns in time for Antietam and Fredericksburg. Intended to be in the style of Bernard Cornwell, whose writing I could only hope someday to emulate.
Looks interesting.

Does it not come in a paper copy?

It's just a HS elective course.  American military history from colonial times to as far as I can get by May.  We've just finished the Mexican-American War.

They should’ve traded OBJ like two weeks ago.
