mdn82 Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 Notre Dame over Illinois. 70/30Duke over Indiana 95/5Penn State over Virginia Tech MSU over Louisville 60/40Wisco over NC State 70/30Iowa over Pitt 65/35Well i guess I’m leaning 4-2 B1GNot confident in Penn State or MSU. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBannersAgreed here. Not a lot of compelling matchups on paper but these games have a way of playing out better than they look.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app WayneFleekHoosier 1 Quote
mdn82 Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 You gonna nitpick me on semantics and debate the definition of “good”? IU hasn’t beaten Nebraska since 2016. They also beat us in 2012 and swept us in 2014. So sorry that I consider a top four conference finish and a 27-12 record over the last two seasons pretty good for a program with little tradition.Isn’t 99% of all of your random beefs with IU built on semantics?

Hoosier Roots Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 Is there any rhyme or reason to how they picked these games? It really seems like they could have gotten some better match ups out of this challenge. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote

This was a factual dismantling. USPS just worked overtime delivering the Truth with a capital T, rush delivery. Can always count on the mailman.

Walking Boot of Doom Posted November 28, 2018 Posted November 28, 2018 So after all the worry, I think the B1G looked pretty good today. Egg on the face with the MSU loss, but they’re likely over ranked in November due to the Izzo factor. They’ll look like a top 25 come February for sure. ND barely beat a very very poor Illinois at home. PSU with the nice upset, and Iowa and Wisconsin took care of business. Close calls on those though. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote
Walking Boot of Doom Posted November 28, 2018 Posted November 28, 2018 He didn’t destroy anything. I don’t what kind of person decides to nitpick an innocuous comment unless they have a bug up their butt or an axe to grind. The poor grammar and run on sentences aren’t a good look either. I agree. Poor grammar, run on sentences, and missing punctuation look bad. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app mdn82 1 Quote

I don’t what kind of person decides to nitpick an innocuous comment unless they have a bug up their butt or an axe to grind. The poor grammar and run on sentences aren’t a good look either. And out comes the ad hominem. I'm likely out of turn here, but I've read more than enough and now it's time to lend a piece of my own observations and I'll be done. So....I'll venture to say pretty much everyone here is tired of the perpetually dissatisfied pessimistic attitude you've dropped anywhere and everywhere all over this board since at least the beginning of football season. I don't say much around here. And I really don't say much directly to other posters. But man.... I'd hate to see your attitude when the chips are really down. It's good to have high expectations. I'm glad we do. It's fine to be dissatisfied with current trends of the programs important to you. I don't exactly find things to be stellar at the moment, either. But I don't see the need to spread negativity on things as thick as humanly possible on a daily basis. It's not ok to turn each post into "Woe is Gradman, the unheard victim of Fred Glass and all IU administrators!" You imply USPS has a big up his butt or an axe to grind? You? Really? If I say the name Fred Glass (oops) I fear you might never recover. Come on man. If you want to be negative, fine. Start an eternal pessimists thread if that's all you care to offer. But stop trying to be infectious. Try to look for some silver linings every once in awhile. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

Thanks Sent from my iPhone using BtownBannersUnderstand mods have a job to do here, but I think plenty of us are sick of the endless drumbeat of misery. Is he explicitly breaking forum rules? No. Is it incredibly annoying? Absolutely. The guy made USPS snap! I have him blocked, but unfortunately still see his posts when he’s quoted by others. It’s damn near unavoidable. I’ll drop and avoid it again, but just saying that everyone enjoys taking a few swings at the piñata every once in a while. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

Once you get hit with the poor grammar and semantics comeback it’s time to call it day and move on. [emoji23]. B1G will be a grind this year.
