PICKIN’ ON THE BIG TEN, SPECIAL ZEN EDITION
Normally there’s a clever introduction here, and a lot of thoughtful, snarky analysis that goes into each pick. But it’s been a week for major Real Life Intrusions, and today is my middle daughter’s third birthday, so instead you’re getting a bunch of pseudo-profound one-liners. And they said a degree in philosophy would never be useful for anything!
MICHIGAN @ ILLINOIS
Success before failure is always illusory; success after failure is the ultimate reality.
| THE LATTER | 24 | THE FORMER | 12 |
PENN STATE @ INDIANA
In a meeting of two equals, things are never equal.
| RESURGENT | 21 |
| INSURGENT | 27 |
NORTH DAKOTA STATE @ MINNESOTA
A mouse can bring down a giant, but the mouse must be crafty and the giant must be dull.
| THUNDERING HERD | 42 |
| SADLY, THIS IS OUR BOHL GAME | 38 |
NORTHWESTERN @ EASTERN MICHIGAN
If there is nothing to say, say nothing.
| GETTING BETTER, THANKS | 38 |
| SAME HERE BUT YOU’D NEVER KNOW IT | 13 |
MICHIGAN STATE @ OHIO STATE
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results.
| I’M SO HAPPY ‘CAUSE TODAY I FOUND MY FRIENDS | 10 |
| I LOVE MYSELF MUCH BETTER THAN YOU | 45 |
IOWA @ PURDUE
What happens when a movable force meets a resistible object?
| O, NO | 13 |
| D-LETED | 24 |
NORTHERN ILLINOIS @ WISCONSIN
Two things are certain: You are here and it is now.
| TRICK | 0 |
| TREAT | 35 |
Next week:
- Ball State @ Illinois: Trap game!
- Michigan State @ Iowa: Hawks have no chance against Sparty’s pass rush
- Minnesota @ Michigan: Goldy could keep it interesting
- Ohio State @ Penn State: The Nits, on the other hand . . .
- Northwestern @ Purdue: Take the over, whatever it is
- Indiana @ Wisconsin: These two teams do not match up well against each other
