Michigan Tuesday: The Big Ten 3-Peats

The Big Ten has taken over the reigns of college football from the SEC and has won 3 National Championships in the last 3 years.  2 of the 3 were undefeated National Champions including our own Michigan Wolverines.   I've been critical of the Big Ten over the years and I think that criticism has been warranted, but it is nice to be playing in the top conference in the college football.  With that said, I'm also glad Michigan didn't have IU on their schedule this season.  😀

The game last night went pretty much how I expected.  I thought both teams would score a little more in the first half, but that was probably nerves and getting used to the opponents physicality.   Raise your hand, if you were like me, thinking on that final drive that Beck was going to throw a INT to close out the game?  I was more confident in the pick then the TD.  

I thought the officials were terrible last night.  I'm 100% for letting them play, but some of those missed calls were unexcusable.  My last thought on the game is, I thought both OC's let their teams down.  Both had 10 days to prepare and it seemed both thought they could just run their regular stuff and beat the other team.  Get creative, get aggressive, game plan for the opponent.  I thought Fernando would have a quick passing attack to stop the Miami pass rush, that was not the plan.   Miami thought they were just going to run over IU's defense, which was clear if you watched any of the previous games, that was not going to happen. 

Curt Cignetti has done one of most incredible coaching jobs I've ever seen as Indiana Football is College Football's National Champion.  I guess having a mid-60's year old coach is a good thing after all.  😀

• There is a Mendoza already in the transfer portal!  It's Fernando's brother.   It seems GT has gotten really good at tampering as that is the rumored destination for the Heisman Trophy winning brother.  Here is a tip, hand it off to Justice. 

• The fraud Big Ten Commission gets zero credit for any of these wins BTW.  Just a dope in the right place at the right time.
