K Jr has the game in hand with the refs in his corner, as per usual.

Key fouls against the right players, and the "art of the flop" in year 2 of the dookie handbook, has clinched it by the end of the first half.

Our second team would beat Maryland by 15

Loving this!

With the refs on your side, there's no doubt.

Your boys are getting worked. Just waving the white flag.

K Jr has done enough waiving of those white and black shirts. 
His green, floor-slapping, flopping, Dook wannabes have those stripes on their side every night.

Don't get me wrong Sparty. They deserve it. They are the best team in the nation. 

Said so after the mirror match of brothers earlier in the year. 

It's just seeing K Jr pull his K impersonation, and see the game change on a dime by the Zebras, is suspect. 

On topic, I think it's time for Turgeon to be shown the door. Top 20 classes year after year, and he can't beat top ranked schools. 

Gary did so much more with less.

If I was little Ricky I wouldn't let my dad show up. Not a good look.

No surprises last night so the projections remain unchanged.  Between now and Sunday night each team in the B1G will play one game such that by Sunday night all B1G teams will have played four conference games except Maryland and Iowa which will have played five.  I intend to review tiers on Monday.  Projections for this weekend:

• MSU will win at tOSU
• PU will win vs UNL
• PSU will win vs NU
• UMD will win vs IA
• M will win vs ILL
• MN will win vs IU
• UW will lose at RU

I'm doubtful on that last one and think that RU may need to move down a tier but we'll see.

Is UW even gonna be able to make it to Rutgers to play?

Thank God for the refs in that 30 point win.  Don't know how we'd do it without them.

You know it. That was the catalyst that started it all. It was a very competitive game until they stepped in. Good job Tom Krzyzeski.

Tough to blame Turgeon.  Relying on guys kicked out of previous schools for sexual misconduct is a tough method to sustain for Art Briles Jr.

[ELA]

Sounds like Reggie Lynch is done after being found responsible for sexual assault.  There are multiple accusers who have come forward now too.

We'll update tiers on Monday but as of now I'm thinking that Nebraska should move up one and perhaps Rutgers down one.  Thoughts?
