Two Future NFL QB's

Today I'll go over a few of the ups and downs from Penn State's win over Purdue. As I said before, I'm officially worried about Joe Paterno's health. I'm not ready to make rash claims, but it's definitely a concern right now. The Purdue win was a weird episode in the Penn State football season. The offense did look good, yet we're all pissed at them. The...

The Boilermakers lost only five starters from last season's team. QB Curtis Painter plans to lead them to a successful season. Are they stacked enough to contend for the Big Ten Championship? Purdue's blogger gives you the details about the team and his predictions. Vote how many games you think Purdue will win.

In what could have been a blow-out, the Ohio State Buckeyes played conservative Tressel-ball with several key offensive players unavailable. Cornerback Malcolm Jenkins took his game to a whole new level against Curtis Painter and Boilermakers on Saturday as the defense only allowed 70 yards on the ground and stopped Purdue every time they got near the red-zone.

Other than hosting a Big Ten Bloggers' roundtable this week and my blogpoll ballot, this will be the final entry devoted to football. From this point on, I'll be shifting over to basketball full-time. The basketball season has been very predictable so far with four wins over teams we should beat without breaking a sweat. That changes this week with Boston College and either...

Today's weather in Iowa City, according to my phone game tracker, was 37 degrees with a stiff wind and snow flurries. I saw this as I was sitting in brilliant sunshine and 85 degree weather on Miami Beach. In the end I didn't have the heart to find a place to watch it. I settled for watching the gametracker on the phone and checking out the highlights later online.It was...

Before we begin this wrap I wanted to touch on the events of yesterday evening. Last night was the final game in Yankee Stadium. I have never been a fan of the Yankees. I was raised a Cubs fan and I will die a Cubs fan (making this year a rare happy year in baseball). Still, I have a sense of history. I had a chance to attend a game at Yankee Stadium last summer. I knew I was going...

Because of some changes in the new blogpoll procedure I am moving the Big Ten wraps up to Sunday nights. This will allow me to do some more research as I'll be at a computer with internet access. Hopefully, this will also improve the quality of the writing.Second, there will likely be a major announcement about the blogpoll coming tomorrow. Basically, all of us voters are gaining...

I will begin with my one Purdue positive this week. I felt that the Boilers could potentially have a 10 win season this year. The talent was there. There weren't any overwhelming games outside of a trip to Ohio State. The defense seemed to be improved enough to give an "improved" Curtis Painter a chance in every game. We must not lose heart because if that 10 win seasons...
