    Big Ten has had the top rated game of the week in 3 of 4 weeks. The SEC has 3 of 4 as well, with USC/LSU and Michigan/Texas hitting for both.

    For all the talk locally about how high the expectations were for Cody Lindenberg, his play has been pretty dreadful this year. Awful job filling the hole on that TD.

    Do you just not understand how camera angles work? Was your old screen name copacetic ?

    I don’t know if he was offsides or not. What I do know is that the guy whose nutsac is bisected by the line of scrimmage has a better view of on/off than either of those cameras.

    This is a great point, and anyone who watches soccer knows the camera angles can be deceiving with offside.

    However, are we just assuming that all of the sudden B1G officials have reached a level of competency where fucking up that call can't happen because he's got the best angle?

    It’s why I said that I don’t know if he was offsides or not. My point was that the ref has the best view of anyone on the planet and is looking for only one thing - if somebody is offsides. If there’s one play to trust a football ref on - it’s kickoff on/offsides.

    Pereira and the announcers said the same. We have an understanding of a forward lean while running not being 45 degrees to be a full yard.

    Looks like a make up call. Hail Mary at end of 1st half was clearly incomplete and phantom hands to face penalty on Graham gave you a TD. Chill.

    The ref's left leg is clearly closer to the line of scrimmage than his right leg.

    I'm not actually arguing this position, but this is what you sound like.

    I went to a game there in early November when it was supposed to be in the 50s. It hovered around freezing and I would’ve sold a kidney for a pair of gloves.

    Always need to prepare for a 70 degree day or possibly snow in B1G country.

    He’s a lot older than I thought. With him and Leipold having success maybe we’ll see a movement back towards more experienced coaches at a certain level of school rather than chasing the hot, young name.

    Makes sense. Especially when there’s a chance to potentially have to pay multiple astronomical buyouts on misses in the same short span an older coach would be at the school.
