Its a curse worse than the Madden curse.

I used to wonder, with the OL Iowa usually puts out, why more top RB prospects don't seriously consider us. I should have known AIRBHG has a national reputation...

Seriously though, you are looking at starting the season with the chance to take a bulk of the carries with little to no competition, and you do this. I understand the first issue, while still being an idiot, it was just a party. But less than a week later you try to run from the cops after speeding like an idiot. Great life decisions, my friend.

On the plus side, it looks like Akeel Lynch might transfer from PSU. Yay?

[iowatreat54]

Guys, it's been a while, so I thought I'd post some entertainment. This in response to PSU's top WR Justin Brown reportedly transferring to either Oklahoma or Illinois...

Again I will repeat what I said Illinois is a better team than Oklahoma this year, and they have Scheelhaase at QB. I'd take Scheelhaase over Jones in the college game (And it would be a decision for the pro's if both were coming out at the same time).

Wisky's alternate uniforms against Nebraska

The block "W" design is a tribute to Wisconsin's 1962 Big Ten championship team, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this fall

[DHVF]

Those are absolutely hideous.

[Smooth Criminal]

Wow those are bad. Someone thought those looked cool and got paid to design that?

[PackerLegend]

umm WTF those jerseys suck....

we should have a picture of



on front and back, holding a beer in 1 hand and a brat in the other. Along with a cheesehead on his head. Now that would be awesome.

[Mufasa]

The Nebraska ones are just as bad. Well actually, maybe a little better, but still far from good.




I get that the two teams have similar uniforms so they wanted to change it up when they play, but that was not the right solution.

I think I found the inspiration for Nebraska's unis....

I like the Wisconsin ones. Very retro. Nebraska, ehhhh....i have a negative stigma in my mind when it comes to red on red uniforms thanks to the '70s blood red Cleveland Indians unis.

[mqtirishfan]

Adidas sucks at trying to be Nike.

[Smooth Criminal]

Both suck. Really bad actually.

[Cigaro]

You can't really make that far back retro styles look anything close to modern. Stop trying.

Penn State is putting names on the back of their jerseys.

Many undergrad degrees at Michigan require 2 years of general studies to get a high enough grade point to be accepted into the specific degree school. I am a UofM grad who took two years of general studies or 'Pre-Business' in order to get into the Business school and get a degree in Accounting.

Now I am not implying all of our fine student/athletes are in the same types of programs....I was born at night, just not last night. I think taking general class registrations for degrees to make a sign like that MIGHT be slightly misleading.... ;)

They're getting as far away from Joe Pa as possible.

Sounds like terrible news up at UM... Ambulance called to Schembechler Hall for a spinal injury. Really hoping that this is just a precautionary thing.

Football is such a dumb sport.

Freshman DL Ondre Pipkens. Currently he has movement in all of his extremities and was taken to the hospital for precautionary reasons.

That is fantastic news. I always get sick hearing or seeing these kinds of things.

[P-L]

Yeah, it's great news.

Yesterday, Michigan lost freshman DE Chris Wormley for the season due to a torn ACL.

Yeah, that is bad news. Kid will be a beast, and seems like great kid overall.

[BuckeyeDan17]

Noah Spence seems to be earning some praise. Urban Meyer still doesn't seem to be impressed by our wide receivers yet.

I can't wait to see Ryan Shazier explode this year.

[Grizzlegom]

Gotta love ESPN. So in this link, they announce that the winning school will get $10,000 added to their general scholarship fund:

http://www.clc.com/clcweb/publishing...tition+on+ESPN

Today, with Penn State up by 20,000 votes, ESPN has now removed all mention of the winning school receiving $10,000 to their scholarship fund on the contest page and in the "Official Rules and Prizes." So this means one of two things, either they pulled the scholarship because they refuse to give Penn State any scholarship money or they are still going to give the prize but don't want it publicized. Classy.

[BuckeyeDan17]

nevermind my comment made no sense upon further review.

[Grizzlegom]

FWIW, it has been confirmed that the winning school will still win the $10,000 scholarship. They just removed all mention of it, likely to distance themselves from the fact that they are doing it.

Ohio State All Access

Most of the clips from the ESPN program. Hell of a series of commercials for OSU football. The program needed something like that. Meyer is a 180 from Tressel wrt his relationship with the media.

Even you OSU haters should watch a few clips.
