Out of Conference Scheds: Big Ten

Instead of going through analysis of given teams, for which I would probably just be guessing, I rather am going to assess each conferences schedules. In particular each conference Out of Conference schedules to see if they like the cupcakes or an actual challenge.

Summary

Essentially the Big 10 has one tough matchup with the Big 12 (Mizzou vs. Illinois) and a couple big battles with the Pac 10, including the massive OSU vs. USC showdown. Other than that they play a lot of garbage and a lot of MAC. The biggest disgrace for the out of conference schedule is that the entire conference has a SINGLE game against the ACC and SEC. And that SINGLE game is against DUKE, and they definitely don't count. Essentially the Big 10 once again has a pathetic Out of Conference schedule.

And seriously can Wisconsin ever play anybody good? I'm beginning to hate Wisconsin almost as much as any team not named Ohio St. Every year the Badger put together a shitty Out of Conference schedule so they can be ranked in the top 15 after beating nobody good. Just like Rutgers their only potential tough game comes against Fresno St., and really who knows if they'll be any good.

1 Team Out of Conference Sum Up: Penn St.

Why does Penn St. sum up the Big Ten's out of conference schedule? Simple, they have one maybe tough game against Oregon St., but of course its at home, and then they have 3 games which should be walk throughs.

Final Say

I'm a huge Michigan fan and yet I'm just getting sick and tired of defending the Big 10. I want the conference to be good, I want Michigan's wins to mean something. But every year they fail to step up to the occasion and play good teams. And for as much as I despise Ohio St. at least they, unlike the vast majority of the other teams, have the balls to play a big time opponent. Perhaps this is why every year they domninate in conference, because they actually test themselves out of it.

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
