I was surprised he stayed in. Oregon's QB trucked about 4 Ok St db's during the game as well. I dont think OK St expected a defense like the one they saw.

Biletnikoff winner next year, no doubt, or at least the odds-on favorite. He's damn good. What I liked about him is his desire to play and help his team. He was arguing with coaches to let him play last night through an injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palehosefan Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Dez is going to have a tougher time next year. Pettigrew is going to be gone, and Okie State doesn't have any other legit threats down the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you are also basing that on them actually having to face teams with defense, which of course is not really the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasox24 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 In other news, Ed Orgeron has accepted the position of Assistant Head Coach, D-Line Coach, and Recruiting Coordinator at Tennessee. With the master recruiter Orgeron paired with defensive genius Monte Kiffin, what defensive recruit won't want to come to Tennessee? Get ready, folks. UT is about to be back on top! Huge, huge hire for the Vols. Also, we hired the old Purdue Offensive Coordinator Jim Chaney to the same position here, but it's not clear whether Kiffin or Chaney will call the plays. Any Purdue fans got anything on the guy? He seemed to have some pretty potent offenses while at Purdue and helped develop two very good QBs in Brees and Orton. But, how much of that was Tiller and how much was Chaney? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate to say it, but after watching MSU and now PSU take it up the ass today (not to mention OSU's performance in the last two championship games), it's becoming quite clear that the Big-10 simply can't hang with schools that are more skilled/athletic.

Thats a huge farce. There isnt a team in the country that could hang with USC when they play well. They have easily the best defense in the country, have consistently top recruiting classes and played most of their tough matchups at home. Saying the reason the B10 teams havent beaten USC or the last two national champions have nothing to do with speed, athleticism or any of that generality crap, these are the best teams in the nation you mentioned. USC could beat Fla and Ok, would that mean the B12 and SEC arent very athletic as well? And BTW, OSU probably didnt deserve to play in the title game last season and whenever you put a team that isnt as good as the other team in a game its going to look like one team was outclassed, and you will have alot of analysts saying things about athleticism etc when it comes down to a poor matchup.

Whatever. When you see Big-10 teams get their asses waxed (these games aren't even remotely competitive) every year what other conclusion should one come to? I realize how good these teams are. But a competitive game is simply too much to ask for? This has become embarrassing. The Big-10 has been considered a weak conference for years by just about anybody who's not a fan of a Big-10 team. And that perception will not change as long as these pathetic showings in these bowl games continue. And I'm an Illini fan. Just keepin' it real.

caulfield12 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 (edited) Then how do you explain one of the most unathletic teams in Iowa beating Florida, LSU and now South Carolina? Iowa didn't have better athletes on the field in any of those games, did they? Sure, we've had a Shonn Greene here, a Dallas Clark or Bob Sanders there (the last two were two star recruits or not even on the "map" in terms of rating services)...but can you really say that it's impossible for Big 10 teams to defeat USC or teams from the SEC? Yes, Iowa was wiped out by USC in 2002 in the Orange Bowl, but USC and LSU beat Oklahoma when those Sooners teams were SUPPOSED to be the best team in the country, and OU had plenty of athletes as well. Georgia was predicted to be the preseason #1...they could beat any team in the country on any given day, especially at home. They could also lose to just about any SEC team this year, as proven. If you want to talk about conferences that have fallen off, look to the ACC and the Big East. Are they relevant to anyone anymore? Did anyone really expect Northwestern to beat Missouri? They played a good game...against a Missouri team that was fighting it out for the National Championship at the end of 2008 and heading into 2009. Minnesota didn't even deserve to be in a bowl game, look at their final game against Iowa (also for Wisconsin)...heck, you could say pretty much the same thing for South Carolina, and they certainly played like a team heading in the wrong direction today, while Iowa had all the momentum in the world on its side finally after some very close early season losses at Pitt, against Northwestern (they had that game put away until a fumble at the end of the first half let NU back into it)...and they were in the games until the final minutes at MSU and Illinois. That said, Iowa would have been the worst undefeated team in recent memory had they snuck into a BCS game somehow. Whenever Iowa fans get discouraged, Ferentz always figures out a way to resuscitate the program. He has done it twice now. It's easier to rebuild from scratch than to have a sustained level of success (three consecutive #8 finishes in the country from 02-04), lose it almost completely and then get back to a very high level again. You almost never seen a program under the same coach recover these days in those situations. With all that said, with the weakness of Michigan and the surge by Texas Tech and OSU this season, the Big 12 South and the SEC are the two dominant elements of college football, along with USC.

The ACC sucks, the Big East sucks and the Big 10 sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
