This is the true story... of 14 strangers... picked to live in a division...(play together) and have their lives taped... to find out what happens... when people stop being polite... and start getting real...The Real World.
1. Iowa - ok, I know Trace McSorely punted the ball in the air after a game. I know that a few Penn state players shushed the crowd after the final play. What would you do after being berated and insulted for over 3 hours? This wasn't like hearing a raucous crowd at an OSU or Penn State game...this was having insults screamed in your ear from 12 inches away. The live video from the field after the game was pretty much rated R due to the choice words from the crowd. I can't imagine how bad it was during the game. The players wanted to return some of it at the end, and they did. Frankly, I think the punt proves how effective Kinnick was at getting into the player's heads. Trace McSorely mostly has ice in his veins. To get him to react like that is quite the accomplishment.
2. Ohio State - I have nothing this week. In fact, I didn't even bother to watch your game, because it was the least interesting game in the B1G. Actually, it might have been the least interesting game on Saturday.
3. Michigan - Can we all finally agree that Speight is awful?
4. Penn State - For the love of god -- if you have the best player in the game, give him the ball on the opponents two yard line. Stop trying to be cute and just let Barkley get it into the end zone. Moorhead may be an offensive genius, but good lord there's about 90+ better offensive coordinators in short yardage situations...
5. Maryland - My heart actually broke for you guys this week. I know that isn't mean, but you'll have to settle for pity...
More to come?
