It's been a long, hard, cruel, boring, exciting year, but we finally have some B1G college football to watch. We have one game in the books, and Wisconsin suddenly looks like a real contender if their QB can go 20/21 every week. Illinois, not so much, so I guess it wasn't the most surprising result in the world.
It's a cold morning in Columbus. After yesterday was warm and almost 80, we had rain and storms all night, and a wake up to 45 degrees. While I would have liked some grilling weather for an OSU game, and I can also roll with soup weather. I think I'm going to go with chicken n dumplings today. Let some stock simmer for much of the day should make the house smell warm and nice. Through a few logs in the fireplace, turn on some football, and fall has finally, officially, completely arrived.
The schedule
Noon
Nebraska at OSU, FOX
Rutgers at MSU, BTN
3:30
Iowa at Purdue, BTN
Penn State at Indiana, FS1
7:30
Michigan at Minnesota, ABC
Maryland at NW, BTN
Other games of note
Cincinnati at SMU, 8 pm, ESPN
ND at Pitt, 3:30, ABC
Auburn at Ole Miss, noon, SECN
Iowa St. at Okie St., 3:30, FOX

A pox on my horses? - no Race Track for you.Hope tOSU - 'Skers is a good one and injury free.And of course Big Red played yesterday.And it appears they found a Joe Montana clone at QB.Find out more when he gets a little pressure but impressive none the less
-
My thoughts on each game:
OSU v. Nebraska: Obviously intrigued on how OSU looks. When I did the position previews I was shocked at how thin Nebraska looked at several positions. This is a mismatch on paper but COVID can be an equalizer.
Rutgers v. MSU: The intrigue game. I won't be watching because OSU will be on, but MSU seems like a complete mystery. Rutgers has a new offense and a new Schiano - could they possibly pick off Sparty? I'm just curious as to what these teams look like more than the actual result of the game.
Iowa v. Purdue: Iowa seems like the rock, so don't think they will be too surprising. Purdue was interesting, but now the coach is out with COVID, Rondale Moore is out for unspecified reasons, and it feels like the wheels are coming off for Purdue before they even run out the gates.
PSU v. Indiana: Very intrigued by this game. I've been bullish on the Hoosiers, but in the back of my mind it seems silly to ever claim the Hoosiers are going to be good. PSU shgould be improved with a real OC, but Micah PArsons and Journey Brown are gone. Upset?
Maryland v. NW: Meh
Michigan v. Minny: Another really fun game. Michigan's defense is strong, but has some pronounced holes and we will see how they fill them. Minny has a strong QB, a big line, and a first round receiver. The weather will be cold and this could be a really fun time. We also get to see the Joe Milton experience against a rebuilding Minny defense. All fun. Really happy to have OSU at noon and two bangers at 3:30 and 7:30. Makes for a fun day.

I've said it before, Indiana seems to be perpetually on the verge of a breakthrough but they never quite get there.

You guys think that 45 degrees is too cold to grill?
:57:
-
You dream of 45 deg when it's 115 :D
-
Heh I've grilled in some cold temperatures. But sitting outside drinking a Great Lakes and watching the game is also part of grilling, and I sure as hell ain't doing that when it's 45 degrees.
-
Not sure what's cooking yet. Still have some more stone crab, a good lunch.
Probably going to make some chicken.
Our kitchen is not done. Countertops come next week. That's been the holdup - the China thing hit the manufacturer in Cali. I can't wait until it's done. Been using an infrared camp burner and a propane camp oven. It's getting old - 5 weeks now.
-
It's Game Freakin' Day!

I've kinda viewed Indiana and Maryland this way. They get a couple elite players and 1st string can compete against anyone, but then 1 or 2 injuries and the lack of depth rears its ugly head.

Did every year for M/tOSU,Brats taste so much better,hell 45 degs is toasty

Gonna be 90 here today. Just like every other day.
-
It's 33 in Kenosha right now. Probably too cold to start any fires. Heh.
-
I'm ready for this..........
22 degrees, high of 36 - that's why the grill is in my attached garage
Bloody Marys, little beef smokies, cheese, and chips early
Fish fry at a Hawkeye fan's garage later - perch and walleye
Lutheran Church's annual soup and pie supper at 6:30 - pickup only
hoping the Huskers give the Bucks a game, beat the spread, maybe keep it within a couple TDs
-
It's 66°F here already, going to be warm, with late afternoon showers apparently.
The wife likes this weather a lot. I don't think she has ever complained about the heat that I recall. And of course October usually has splendid weather here. The leaves are just starting to change a bit here and there. The big sycamore outside my window has some yellow on it.
The city is sometimes called "City in a Forest" because the residential areas are all tree covered, which is nice. I was thinking of driving around in the NW area when the leaves get colorful, the area with a lot of impressive mansions. I'm amazed that so many folks have that much money. And of course other parts to the south are the reverse.

It's a beautiful 78° in my part of Florida.
Heading over to a friend's around 1:00 since he ordered the Gaethje - Nurmagomedov fight.
Lucky for me he's a Florida fan, and they are cancelled today, so will be able watch Purdue vs Iowa at 3:30.
Picked up some Weihenstephaner and Franziskaner. Wife is making a 7 layer dip, I'm cooking up some bacon wrapped chicken bites. Friends have a pizza oven we will be putting to use.
Been waiting for some B1G football for a looooong time. Today is a good day.

Ya-No stick to the Coffee Klatch

don't dare be rude to the church ladies... they can cook!
I've got all 3 types of soup ordered - chicken noodle, vegetable beef, and midwest chili soup w/beans and no heat!
homemade rolls and...
couple slices of apple pie!
-
It's a balmy 22 degrees and overcast here in the Twin Cities today. Feels like January, not October. Just an awful day. It will be snowing during tonight's game.
On the menu today is tomato tortellini soup, buffalo chicken dip, screwdrivers, and made from scratch sticky buns.
-
Michigan-Minnestota should be snowing,harkening back to the days of yore.Bye for an hour America's Test Kitchen/Cook's Country on PBS is on deck

Yes for about 3-4 yrs now.Cindy does almost all the cooking but you can pick up some good tips.Occasionally some clinkers

I'll be adding some heat since it's curbside service

Would love to see some team like LSU or UGA up in Minnie tonight.

It was 80 yesterday. I mowed the lawn at 7 pm in shorts. Now it's 40 and I'm watching 4 year olds play soccer
-

I'd add chili flakes to the other two whilst warming. Probably gonna need some salt too. Old church lady cooking and all that.

they're not afraid of salt, I'll be adding some black pepper

I’m going to wager that in your case, like mine, your game day menu will evolve given that you are now going to be in very warm weather. It tends to change your appetite.
I can’t speak for anyone else but cooler air makes my appetite more hearty and robust and makes me want things like pasta and carbs

So you like game temps different from food spice?

I don't think there is any question about that. I love chili and pot roast, but no way right now. Maybe in January??
Now it's more fish/shellfish than ever before. I've got ribeyes in the freezer that I have no interest in right now.
Probably a chicken stir fry tonight. Maybe some rice, but maybe not. Lunch is set with stone crabs. Need to eat only like 3 of them. Mrs. 847 went big on those. They are huge.

But of course.

McCormicks made a blend called Fiery Five Flakes,still use it along with Chrystals La.Hot Sauce 😎

I've even done CDs signature laddling Chilli over Basmati Rice(when I remember).Cindy likes this,so I'll have to remember
-
Man I forgot I got stuff for patacon. Most recipes I see use unripe plantains, but a local place uses ripe plantains which you fry, smash, and fry again, then cover in meat and salad. Then douse in spicy cilantro sauce. That's a hell of a dish. The sweet plantain coupled with salty beef is for my money the best. The plantains are kind of a pain to source - you need them pretty ripe, which can take forever.
-
Watched Wisconsin punish Illinois last night. It was strange seeing Camp R empty but really nice to have Big Ten football back. If anyone out was thinking an edge was gained on Wisconsin due to them having to start a freshman at QB...well you can flush that idea right now.

Ha, I got that from a chili parlor in Chapel Hill of all places. I think the rice brings along a nice complementary flavor profile.

I watched some of it, and he was on fire passing no doubt.

East River Flats? buckets???
Nope. No fans in the stands = no tailgating = no buckets today. The schedule scramble did a number on the others in the group, as all save myself are working today. Although our backyard, once I clean up the dog's business, is an ideal spot for buckets.
-

One benefit of expanding a playoff would be a SEC wildcard team being dispatched to the Hoth System (Camp Randall, Mordor, or the New Brickhouse) in December.

Yuengling and a Ham/Cheese I can make the 2nd half

Id rather have Tucker than Duz. Id rather have had Fickell than either
-
OSU back to having lost linebackers
-
Lombarbi threw two passes to the left side on that last series with no one there except Rutgers for that last INT.
-
Getting some 2018 vibes with the inability to run the ball, crappy defense, and amazing passing game.
-
For those of us just tuning in, WTF is happening in EL?
-
Tied up in Columbus? All those cardboard fans are going to spontaneously combust if this keeps up.
-
Whoever's doing color on this game, seemed very into Rutgers defense, and now he just said "Is that a penalty on Rutgers? I hope not."
At least try a little bit to hide it

Targeting

Close but no neck or head contact so no targeting
-
If they are going to call this blind side block roll like this, you better never reverse field. They just called it on a guy running directly across the field, what else are you supposed to do just let him go?
-
Better defense there. Haskal Garrett realizing he's bigger and faster than the guy blocking him
-
Teague looking more sprightly on those runs. Need to play some more defense in the last minute - get the ball after half
-
Missed the call evidently Olave's TD called back
-
Schiano up by 18 but ices Sparty’s kicker
-
Husker's offense hanging
Defense can't handle the receivers
-
Justin Fields is really good. So is Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson.
-
So, was there the sense Dantonio left a massive tire fire?
-
Going from Dobbins to this duo is like going from Maurice Clarett to Lydell Ross.

Yes, yes, yes! Never pursuing Narduzzi never made any sense. Wisconsin hired the .500 Pitt coach before him and look how that turned out. Narduzzi would've given East Lansing his all, stayed long term, and provided a lot of stability in a manner that had expired on Dantonio. I'm not surprised MSU is losing to Rutgers. @ELA (https://www.cfb51.com/index.php?action=profile;u=55) and I went back and forth in his countdown thread about this - but the Spartans, IMO, should be view as about the 12th or 13th best Big Ten team. Now I'm thinking 14th. Aside from a few isolated talents, the roster is thin, and the coaching isn't experienced enough.
-
That drive by Ohio St looked effortless.
-
Bucks not looking quite as sleepy. Let's see how the defense comes out. If they can be solid I'd be a lot less nervous.
-
Well it was a nice game for the first half until the final few mins.
Ohio State about to pour it on and win this game 59-21. I’m done watching.
-
I hate fake crown noise.
I actually don’t mind it. Makes it feel more like a regular game, imo.
-
Well that wasn't good defense but we'll take it
-
That should about do it
-
5 turnovers. Still early in the 3rd. Did they practice with ANY contact?
-
Looking at the stats for Rutgers-Sparty. MSU with a healthy yards advantage, so it's not like they are being dominated. But they have 38 yards on 25 carries, so Rocky the Legend is carrying them, which is not a recipe for success.
-
Sparty is making Rutgers look like Oklahoma.
-
9 drives, zero punts, 13 points.
That's damn near impossible
-
Sparty is making Rutgers look like Oklahoma.
?
138 yards of total offense is Oklahoma?

Its a defensive struggle /s

Syracuse draws within 6 of Clemson
-
Steele Chambers getting some run and looking sharp
-
Add two failed 4th and 2s to the five turnovers.
This OL has no strength, yet for the third straight year, and with a new staff, they insist on trying to hammer it up the middle in short yardage situations

Puke. I hate that targeting call. I miss football.

Some schools really didn't. It was obvious during the first round of games from other conferences a month ago. There's gonna be some weirdness for B1G teams this season, before things settle in.
-

I didn't think any of the targeting calls were really targeting. They've gotten away from the spirit of the rule which is to protect heads and now just throw flags on hard hits
-
Puke. I hate that targeting call. I miss football.
Agreed. That one and the "driving the QB into the ground" are just the worst. This sport is drifting closer and closer to "unwatchable" status for me.
-
Wow what a catch from the freshman
-
I think that's a TD by the letter of the rules.
I hate that rule, though. I've always thought a touchdown defined as "possession of the football, in the endzone" would be a better standard.
-
Puke. I hate that targeting call. I miss football.

That looked like a TD there - and it is

I hate the rule. But I got to agree with the officials on every call they made including they won they overturned. Huskers are just going for the head or going to high too often
-
About time why risk Fields?
-
In fact the shot Olave took was a launch to the head.
Why was fields even out there?

It's a letdown watching/rooting for Texas, even up 27-3 on a below-average Baylor. When it comes to high Longhorns' expectations, the season is already shot thanks to a 1-2 conference start that includes blowing games against rivals TCU and Oklahoma. But even watching their more disciplined, methodical showing Vs a sleep walking Baylor program, you just see Tom Herman is getting by with Ehlinger carrying the offense, for better or worse. Even if Herman salvages this season into another year of employment, is next year already an uphill battle without Ehlinger's default leadership.

Yup, pretty much all this.
IF the Horns manage to hang on to a win here, it might be the last one of the season. KSU, ISU, and OkState are all better teams than Texas. WVU is probably an even match.

The Penix was just long enough.
Now for the Joe. Milton experience. Minny down their punter, kicker, and half their oline
-
I don’t think he actually got it there. There just wasn’t enough to overturn it.
It’s a shame they’re only like 50 people in the stands because this would’ve been the first time in decades that IU had been able to storm the field for a win.

Minny blocks a punt!

And get a quick touchdown.

I don’t think he actually got it there. There just wasn’t enough to overturn it.
It’s a shame they’re only like 50 people in the stands because this would’ve been the first time in decades that IU had been able to storm the field for a win.
Damn that was a bad call

Gophers lack of specialists is very fun

Kicking game giveth, kicking game taketh away.

Apparently the kicker has the COVID, hence the stupidity on kick coverage.

If Ibrahim keeps this up there won't be much enthusiasm for tackling him. Hard tough running.

This defense looks small and slow. I knew defense wasn't going to be great, but this is a big problem.

Ouch, this second quarter is a gut buster.

A Cincy at SMU game is a 9 v 16 game. What were those odds.

Cursing and swearing, cursing and swearing

Now Michigan is going to come out in the second half all fat and happy, thinking that they have this one in the bag. But then they are going to give up a couple of cheap TDs, and they will be unable to regain the momentum. Then it is going to be a good old fashioned Gopher feeding frenzy!

I dunno always been an advocate of giving a team 1 call a QTR (just in case).Just break for fookin' commercials when they do as to not prolong games.Anyway I've seen 3 very bad calls that should have been reversed.One in the K-St vs TCU game where a reciever caught the ball his knee was down his toso was down he then rolls completely over and a db rips the ball out and the ref rules it incomplete.The ref should have been ruled incompetent and bounced.You can't be that bad and let calls like that stand.Literally changing the course of the game.Fortunately KSU held on.

This game is why we play rotten tomato cans to start the season. PJ'S teams are notorious slow starters, and this is no exception.

A missed FG is the only thing that has gone right for the Gophers in the 2nd quarter.

It's a letdown watching/rooting for Texas, even up 27-3 on a below-average Baylor. When it comes to high Longhorns' expectations, the season is already shot thanks to a 1-2 conference start that includes blowing games against rivals TCU and Oklahoma. But even watching their more disciplined, methodical showing Vs a sleep walking Baylor program, you just see Tom Herman is getting by with Ehlinger carrying the offense, for better or worse. Even if Herman salvages this season into another year of employment, is next year already an uphill battle without Ehlinger's default leadership.
Excuse me.
"Blowing" means losing a game you had won or easily should have won. Neither of those was the case in the RRS. Texas made a great comeback to score 14 points in the last 3:34 to send the game to OT. And it went to 4 OTs. Texas did not "blow" the game.

To add insult to injury, they keep running the play clock down. Your down 3 scores, gotta move faster.

I'm going to have to call these games "sixing" - just because it's half of "twelving."
"Sixing" is when the winning team has a single-digit score.
Notable "sixing" games are in 2011 - LSU's regular season win over eventual NC Alabama 9-6, when WF played someone and it went to OT 0-0 a few years ago, Auburn and LSU played a 7-3 game in the early 2000s, and Arizona's desert swarm losing to defending NC Miami 8-7, missing a 50+ yard FG at the end.
-
Ohhh, maybe it should be called "nine-ing" - as that's the most points the winning team can score and it be considered as such a game. Hmmm, thoughts?
-
Damn, SJST scored too much.
Our closest 'sixing' game this week was WKU over Chattanooga 13-10.
No 'twelving' either, this week. Closest was Liberty over Sothern Miss, 56-35.

Minnie needs to turn down Gameday the next time they are asked to host it (if ever). That's two times (in their past two home games) they've been given a beatdown as the host.

An Iowa State fan just wrote on HuskerBoard "Hurry up and roll over already. Football comes on in 20 minutes."

Whoosiers/Ninnies prolly the best game in the Country last nite.And I'm not critizing Franklin for that TD where Ford scores,teams were jacked up in a close contest so they did what came naturally.But on that missed FG Franklin had time for a quick down & out to move the chains and get in range.Saw on a PSU board some calling for his head - dumb move IMO because he is recruiting the state very well

Don't forget the infamous 6-4 Iowa / Penn State game, where literally the only points scored were field goals and safeties.
I could get behind "nineing"...

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.

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.

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.

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.

Could be, but until the swab results come back, we won't know. It might not come from CPC, but it will get leaked.

The Gadsden Purchase?
Comes along 5 years later (1853), but we dicussed it in the summary of territories gained via that war.

I remembered that from that book about how the States got their shapes. US history via geography.
-
The Gadsden Purchase was pretty much solely to build the Southern Pacific Railroad, or so the southern interests in Congress thought.
Lotta complicated politics.

I can't post this on the top UW CBs thing because it's locked, but the two UW Badgers guys picking Antonio Fenelus as a top corner for the decade is ... well, I'm not as down on media guys as most, but that's a pure media guy pick. If you went with him, just go with Devin Smith.
Fenelus was very much a JAG who got some picks. The best pass defense he was on was a bend-don't-break secondary that was always given leads. Bleh.
(He's now part of the UW coaching mafia, so I wish him luck)
