Other than Eli’s offense and everybody else’s in the first half it went as you might expect it to go when a projected 1-seed coming off a three-week hiatus visits a [checks notes] 3-seed. Switching defense was the key in the second half. Wisconsin’s Reuvers seems broken.

This isn’t all about Michigan State, nor is it all about Illinois fans thinking Michigan tried to dodge a performance that almost lost them a game to Nebraska. Ohio State continues to destroy people. Michigan State, of course.

Mo Linguist has been loosed in the Volunteer state and is making it into the new Massachusetts. Also three DTs, one or two or all three perhaps ticketed for nose, when it looked like none.

I didn’t realize this would be serious things until right before the podcast so I’ll have to write an extensive article about all of my ideas later. More or less we’re looking for a Crusader Kings II version of dynasty mode, with the Madden engine and more cheating.

Nebrasketball and State are out for COVID concerns so just a few games to round up, and fewer that matter. Brian stans for Iowa, which they’re Iowa why are you getting into a shootout with them, Northwestern? Ohio State on an incredible luck streak. Rutgers on the receiving end of that luck streak. Penn State-Purdue was mostly entertaining for the Beilein memories.
