Saturday, September 6th, 2008Attention all FCB readers and Forum members, the greatest debate in college football continues. No, it’s not whether or not the NCAA should adopt a playoff system. Rather, it is who is the best fantasy football team. I am honored and humbled to collaborate with the founders of Fantasy College Blitz on this new weekly [...]
Big 10 Preview: Northwestern Wildcats
Sunday, August 24th, 2008If you have read my entire analysis of the Big Ten Conference and some of its star players, I am pleased to announce that the boredom that is Iowa, Michigan and to a smaller degree Michigan State is officially over! The Wildcats are NCAAF version of the NBA’s Western Conference on the offensive side of [...]
Big 10 Preview: Michigan Wolverines
Wednesday, August 20th, 2008Dare we say a rebuilding year for the Maze and Blue? Some part of me compares what Michigan is doing to what Pittsburgh did a few years ago. For everyone involved, I truly hope that the Wolverine contingent isn’t begging for Lloyd Carr in a couple of years the same way Panther fans are [...]
Big 10 Preview: Iowa Hawkeyes
Wednesday, August 20th, 20085 years ago I would not have imagined saying this, but Kirk Ferentz needs to win this year. The good news is they should. They have 14 returning starters and their defense up the middle looks solid with DT Mitch King, all Big Ten in 2007) and Matt Kroul. Additionally, the Hawkeyes return all 5 [...]
Big 10 Preview: Purdue Boilermakers
Wednesday, August 20th, 2008The swan song for long-time head coach Joe Tiller plays this year in Purdue. Tiller, (83-54 including a 51-37 record in Big Ten games), has been pacing the sidelines since 1997, which makes him the second longest tenured coach in the conference behind JoePa. Last season brought Boilermaker fans 8 wins, including a [...]
Big 10 Preview: Michigan State Spartans
Tuesday, August 19th, 2008Can Mark D’Antonio rebuild the in-state rivalry and get the Spartan faithful believing they are relevant again? It’s a tall task given the annual start strong in September and wilt in late October and November theme that John L Smith built in 5 seasons. Last year’s 7-6 (3-5 in Big 10) season culminated in a [...]
Big 10 Preview: Minnesota Golden Gophers
Sunday, August 17th, 2008Again, entertaining thoughts that your school’s athletic department knows anything about athletics is LAUGHABLE. First we have the 1997 men’s hoops team getting disqualified from the school’s only final 4 appearance due to then coach Clem Haskins and the administration writing papers, taking exams and the like for the players. This was followed by the [...]
Big 10 Preview: Wisconsin Badgers
Sunday, August 17th, 2008I like Coach Bret Bielema as much as the next guy, however I continue to misunderstand the hype around what he has (or in my opinion has not done) with this program in the post Barry Alvarez era. Lack of ability to recruit “ANY” kind of talent at the QB position in the Big 10 [...]
