Big Ten Game of the Week 2.0 - Forcier Leads Michigan Over Notre Dame
Tate Forcier's statistics from yesterday: 22-33, 240 yards, 2 TD's, 1 INT...13 rushes, 70 yards, 1 TD But it's not about the statistics and it's even less about the storybook comeback. It's about the way Forcier played in sync with his offensive line. It's about the gutsy playcalling by Rodriguez...
Big Ten Game of the Week 1.0 - Michigan State Falls to CMU
Best game I've ever attended in person? Well now, let's not be hasty with declarations, but My God. What didn't this game have? Lead swings, peppy underdog, two recovered onside kicks, game winning field goals, a ballsy decision to go for two...The perfect weather and jacked up fanbases added to...
Big Ten Football in Week 2: Greg Jones, The Apocalypse, and the Demise of Student Body Right
Immersion is the best word I can use for my CFB experience last week. Seven hours at Eddie George's Bar and Grill, followed by a relaxing hour in front of the BTN at Law Buck's apartment, and then two more hours at a Sushi bar watching 'Bama, BYU, and LSU. Thank god the DVR man came and fixed my...
The Rivalry Guide to USC at Ohio State
So it's Thursday afternoon. Arguably the worst time of the week for a college football fan. You're at work staring complacently at the Quorum panels in front of your desk. It's not Friday yet, so there's no excuse to waste three hours on ESPN.com. Still, that doesn't make you any less psyched...

Sunday Afternoon Drive: Week One Recap of Big Ten Action
I have much disdain for generic recaps by people who didn't watch the actual games. That's why DVR and Eddie George's Bar and Grill are such a boon for my Big Ten recaps for this week. Eleven Big Ten games were played this weekend and I watched nine of them in their entirety. My apologies to Iowa...
Welcome to the Greg Paulus Challenge: Gentlemen, Start Your Defensive Ends
As you know, Paulus and his Syracuse brethren will be playing Minnesota, Penn State, and Northwestern, in that order. Admittedly, the Orange are behind the eight ball, starting a first year quarterback and underdogs in each game. But who says we can't have some fun with the fact that your defensive...
The Obligatory Predictions Competition
College football's smartest picks contest. You might have heard, we at The Rivalry, Esq. are not above the sort of self-declared polity that comes with crowning ourselves psychic masters of the college football universe and certifying our predictions each week. Then again, you're not either. It's...
The Ultimate Example of Big Ten Brotherhood, Courtesy of Bill Mallory
This is part of an antiquated attitude that may be long gone, but for some odd reason I cannot stop watching the video. 1987 was Indiana's dream year, beating OSU and Michigan and Purdue, but a season ending loss to MSU sent the Spartans to the Rose Bowl to face USC. So ol' ball coach Bill Mallory...
