Thread about the Big Ten's Dec. 19th games

JoeJ · Dec 12, 2020

Who do we face in Lovie's last game?
At least hopefully.

We Will Win, not sure when.

Is there still a chance that we meet Rutgers again in the Big 10 Toilet Bowl?

No. We won't play Rutgers.

illiram11 · Dec 12, 2020

If we play Michigan in the Crossover, you will have 2 coaches that made it to the Superbowl, and are now playing for last place in the Big 10. Yep, it's 2020.

SKane · Dec 12, 2020

I'll narrow it down to MSU, Maryland, or MI.

And further narrow it down to Maryland.

I'll take Maryland at home.

I didn’t think they were allowing home games for anyone? Maryland seems likely the next worst team besides us so I’d think that will be our game.

??? Are you saying that they will all be neutral site games?

Maybe I misheard, but I thought that’s what they said on WDWS. Someone correct me if I’m wrong. Maybe it‘s just the championship game, but that’s not the way I took it. Doesn’t really make sense for the other games I agree.

I heard campus sites, but that may be wrong.

Since Illinois beat Nebraska, aren't they in last place?

When they first announced it, I thought it was going to be a championship week, with a game each night of the week in Indy. Would have had to build in an extra week to do that, though, but it sounded like a cool idea, even if I apparently made it up.

illini80 · Dec 12, 2020

From what I can find, only the championship game is in Indy. The others have not been announced, but Wisconsin expects to host a game so there appears to be no rule about home games. That may mean the higher seeded team hosts or it may not.

kyillinifan · Dec 12, 2020

I wonder if we get Mi State?

Dead men walking: Mich vs Illinois

They should play them all in Indy and Detroit domes. 2 on Thurs and Fri, 3 on Sat.

CheifKeith91 · Dec 12, 2020

Hopefully we just name IW the starter from here on out. Peter’s going to transfer to be “the guy“ next season, and it’s time to look towards the future.

kyillinifan · Dec 12, 2020

I would think IW starts Sat.

SuperMetroid · Dec 12, 2020

Can we just...not bother with this game?

Miles Leonard · Dec 12, 2020

So what exactly is the point of playing this game?

To win it so that we can go through another year of Lovie.

Don't you want to know who the worst team in the conference is

For humanities sake, it would be cruel for Lovie to wait until the 21 season to secure his 40th career loss.

KOTC2 · Dec 13, 2020

Yippie! They get to add another loss for the season! Bye bye Lovie, it's been real.
