The awesome thing to do would be for Northwestern to opt out of the B!G championship vs Ohio State (screwing them out of the CFP). Butt Northwestern is not awesome so they will Fitzeecharge into their 49-6 beatdown.

Hey I know OSU is the best team in the big ten but they opted out of a game, too. Glass houses and all. Play stupid games,...

why are Ohio State fans calling Harbaugh a coward less than a week after the Buckeyes hid from Illinois?

The good news is the Illini won today. The bad news is that cancer also won. I’ll miss you, doggo.

I should also mention I’m going to get all this covid/contact tracing protocol stuff wrong. I started reading the rules once and figured it was best I didn’t try because it wasn’t going to make sense. Like, we had to play Purdue but WIS plays UM on 3 weeks’ rest. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyways, the question is what to do once BP is back. I wouldn’t fault the staff for riding IW until he gets dinged up. He will at some point. But I also can’t help but feel for Peters if that’s the case.

See, this is what I get for being out of it. There goes that theory.

So I just finished watching the game. I don’t know if IW is better than BP. I don’t want recency bias to win out. BP showed a lot of toughness at the end of last year & didn’t have much help. But hard to ignore IW’s performance today. That said, I have concerns.

There’s a cynical angle I don’t want to discount. IW ran 31 times today. He’s 180 pounds (while holding 10 lbs dumbbells in each hand). He can’t survive a season like that, that’s obvious. So did coaches hold him back for a “winnable” game?

This is an experienced roster, so you probably should be well past angling for small wins like that. But I dunno. Anything’s possible. I thought IW wasn’t a bad thrower. Some batted balls because he’s short, but he’ll learn how to get those off with experience.

Illinois' "OK time to change the channel" speed has gone supersonic this season.
