    Rutgers vs Iowa / Game Thread

    I thought it was a good "first B1G game" between Iowa and Rutgers. Maybe the start of a rivalry (as long as Iowa wins). Go Knights - Go Hawks!

    B12 Expansion

    The Big XII is bizarre. In the past expansions we've seen, the teams have been all lined up and ready to jump into their new conference. The dog and pony show the Big XII is holding is ridiculous. Schools are being interviewed as if they were job applicants, presenting their cover letters and...

    Will a victory against UW change your perception of the season?

    RU fans need to develop a different mindset. Like the idea that Rutgers will be in every game to win it. Moral victories don't count. It seems a lot of posters on this board have a bit of an inferior complex about your team and that's the first thing that should change. You finally have a solid...

    getting ready for football with a new 4K tv?.....

    Samsung is the very best. As far as the 4K technology, from the TV's I've seen it looks pretty nice, and I'd love to try one of them out. But I'm not going to pay the price they're asking right now, and there aren't enough programs broadcast to warrant it. I guess I always thought it best to...

    What's the best deal folks are getting on Dish Network new customer packages?

    One thing I wouldn't do is bundle TV and internet service with a satellite. Dish and Direct TV both go out when there is a drop of rain in the forecast, and if you have both services with satellite, you're completely cut off from the outside world. I have Dish Network for television service and...

    After watching harbaugh on ESPN....I wonder

    Harbaugh is weird, and it's an aura he nurtures and promotes. He infuses that aura with a healthy dose of concentrated creepy. Not somebody I'd want to be around on a dark night with a full moon. He reminds me of Andy Kaufman reincarnated. Michigan can have him.

    Fornelli of cbssports.com sees UW as overrated...

    Just as UW hasn't played a down yet and may not deserve to be ranked 18th, RU hasn't played a down either, and may not deserve to be panned like they are. Petersen is a good coach, he's proven that. I have a feeling that Ash is going to be a good one, too. It's a lopsided argument to say that...

    OT: Chicago Vacation

    Another poster mentioned Lou Mitchell's for breakfast - go there, it's an unassuming atmosphere with great food and their coffee is the best. Try Lawry's Prime Rib just off Michigan Ave. It's the old Governor's mansion. Best prime rib in the country, cut at your table the way you like it and...

    OT: Cargo Shorts...

    For the women who hate cargo shorts - I'll quit buying them when women quit buying skin tight jeans with bling all over the butt. Because so many women who think they're being fashionable have more than ample real estate to display the bling, it sometimes looks like a full scale map of the...

    Now that you have been in the B1G a few years, What are your thoughts?

    Even Iowa got a better deal than Rutgers? That's rich. I hope so. Maybe Rutgers could have gotten more if they had been a member of the conference for 117 years, too. You make it sound like Rutgers is carrying the whole Big Ten on their shoulders all by themselves in two short years. I don't...
