Saturday October 1st.\u00a0 Ann Arbor Michigan.\u00a0 Wolverine fans have felt something building for several months… Tension, apprehension, fear.\u00a0 It’s been raining non-stop for the past 2 days but for now, perhaps symbolically, the weather has cleared.\u00a0 Suddenly, 110,000+ look up in shock and relief.\u00a0 The scoreboard flashes 58-… what’s that? \u00a0fourteen?\u00a0 No it was definitely fifty… Wisconsin?\u00a0 Oh yeah… yeah that happened too.\u00a0 Close game.. exciting.. anyway… The scoreboard flashes 58-0 something dawns on the crowd.\u00a0 A figurative wave of realization sweeps over the crowd, unlike the literal wave of orchestrated raising and lowering of hands, which was surprisingly absent from yesterday’s third quarter… (Get your sh*t together student section!) \u00a0Ohio State has murdered Rutgers.\u00a0 The alliance is over.\u00a0 The treaty is broken.\u00a0 Rutgers fans are shocked. “Former players couldn’t believe it when they heard about the betrayal,” said the Warden of a New Jersey Penitentiary. \u00a0“They are being us stabbed back with in knife,” claimed\u00a0Secret<\/b>\u00a0order of the Bulls Blood President Ivan Alearnaread. \u00a0“Some other cliche about double cross” – the one Rutgers fan who made it out of New Jersey.\u00a0 I, personally, fully expected both teams to join hands in the middle of the field and declare the game a draw.\u00a0 Ohio State would then accept half of Rutgers’ losses and both would bond over being members of the two worst states ever… of all time.\u00a0 But that didn’t happen.\u00a0 Instead Ohio State destroyed their unsuspecting victim (who clearly could have made it a game had they not been so paralyzed by shock of treachery).\u00a0 This day is one for the history books.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Meanwhile, back in Ann Arbor, fans and players were relieved that Michigan will no longer “being to fade into the folklore that was College football,” as was foretold at the signing of the now defunct treaty. \u00a0“Our guys had been working hard all year. Preparing.\u00a0 Tough challenge to play against an alliance.\u00a0 It’s good” – A man in Khaki’s \u00a0“We have a strong offense but it would have been hard to move the ball while protecting against a flank attack from another opponent.\u00a0 I mean, yeah Rutgers is terrible but come on. \u00a011 against 22 just doesn’t seem fair,” said Jake Butt, a guy I made up who happens to have the same name as Michigan’s starting Tight End (Seriously though guys… he’s a tight end… and his last name is Jake Butt!!). \u00a0“Why the hell is Rutgers in the\u00a0Big<\/span>\u00a0Ten<\/span>?” – Everyone Ever.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Elsewhere in the\u00a0Big<\/span>\u00a0Ten<\/span>: \u00a0Northwestern somehow developed an offense over the past week… (just kidding.\u00a0 Iowa is probably just terrible).\u00a0 Purdue decided to stop giving the ball to the other team on every third play… and still lost by a thousand.\u00a0 Maybe DJ Durkalerk has turned the Terps into a respectable\u00a0Big<\/span>\u00a0Ten<\/span>\u00a0team (Possible, but Purdue is also terrible)?\u00a0 Bad football team Penn State showed that Minnesota is also bad at football.\u00a0 Nebraska beat Illinois as expected.\u00a0 And the Spartans… Sorry guys, I really thought calling out the Indiana Jynx would nullify its powers.\u00a0 Somebody must have eaten poultry while the score was tied.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Here are this weeks results.\u00a0 Lots of eliminations.\u00a0 Send my your picks!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
