Will the BTN now spend the next 6 hours talking about how the refs robbed Wisconsin on that offense pass interference?
Will the BTN
- Thread starter lein
- Start date
Yep, had nothing to do with fumbles and terrible play by Wisky. lol
No, probably too busy excusing scUM's performance against BAMA.
Michigan different team from end of Ohio state game to halftime of citrus bowl
Well they campaigned for Wisconsin to play in the Rose, hope they choke on it

Unbelievable, Mason just called out the Badgers offensive PI call as questionable after he and the rest of those schmucks on the BTN talking heads panel completely ignored the ridiculous OPI call on PSU at the goal line in Minnesota. You can’t make this stuff up.
I'm sure the BTN will go all in with the Big Ten team that won a NY6 bowl, right?
In typical fashion, the BTN (and B1G) will make excuses for the "chosen three" losers (UW joined that elite company this year), condescendingly pat Minny on the head for beating AU, pretend MSU didn't fall to the Pinstripe Bowl, and largely ignore the Cotton Bowl winner.
Then they'll probably have near strokes worrying that Indy must beat UTenn in order for the conference to have a winning bowl record.
Mind boggling to me that anybody takes seriously, let alone takes offense, to what these TV chatterboxes spew in an effort to fill air time.
If you don’t like it, don’t watch it. Save yourself some grief.
If you hit yourself on the noggin with a hammer every day, you’re going to keep getting headaches.

Maybe the BTN ought to talk about those punk-ass cheap shots by Wiscy players after Oregon scored the game winning TD.
It was a bad call. It happens. Saw enuf bad calls throughout the bowl season to know the guys with the hankies ain't all that.
The game was there for wisky to win and they didn't. Should not have come down to a blown call... much like our game with minny shouldn't have, either.
That's CFB... win... or go home.

Ed Westfall used to use a similar line when he did the Islanders games. “He’s like the guy who would hit himself in the head with a hammer because it felt so good when he stopped.”

You guys need professional help.
You want wall to wall coverage and superlative accolades for beating G-5 Memphis??? Great! We beat Memphis!!!! Maybe next year, we can take on Bama, Clemson, or Oregon like the guys you are bi+ching about did.
And yes, Wisky got hosed pure and simple. If that would have happened to us by those awesome, non-Big Ten refs, this Board would be in a Galactic, cataclysmic meltdown.
I suspect there is far more scripted and far less original thought on the BTN group discussions than one could imagine. If not, why are there seemingly two disparate thought patterns every time? The BTN "guides" the discussion content with their talking points, just like politics and network news.
So why didn’t Mason call out the same ridiculous OPI call when it kept PSU from scoring to beat his beloved Gophers? The hypocrisy of it all is what’s gone too far.
And yes PSU won a New Years Six game and got ZERO coverage from our “friends” at BTN. F them and every one that thinks like them in their midwestern cocoon.

Couldn't have said it better. Playing #17 while watching others play actual competition was disheartening. And to criticize those teams who didn't fare well in their games is a little disingenuous.
Wisconsin got hosed, Ohio State got hosed, blah, blah, blah. Awesome to see other B1G teams finally get f d by officials as well.
Think about what you are saying. You want wall to wall coverage for LOSING!!!!!!! Is that what you really want????
You guys all wanted these Big Ten teams to lose, and now you're bi+ching that you get to endlessly watch their agony.
The absolute LAST thing I would be watching is BTN if we LOST. If we lost, you guys would be bit(hing endlessly about all the coverage we were getting. Sorry, but beating one of Tennessee's little brothers, the one that's not even a P-5 school, doesn't register that high on the Richter Scale outside of State College and Memphis.
Good win! But does it trump playing in the Rose Bowl or a CFP game???????????? Not even close. Anyone that thinks it does is beyond all help. Relax and enjoy someone else's pain.
Memphis is the best college football team in Tennessee....juts saying. And I don’t think anyone is advocating for getting more coverage for beating Memphis (although it was a NY6 bowl) than the CFP games, but how about some coverage? How about at least as much as the Rose Bowl...you know, the other NY6 bowl that had a Big team in it? And unlike the Rose Bowl, the other NY6 bowl had a Big team actually win it.
It is a big part of recruiting and building the program. It is why osu has an advantage over everyone but Michigan (but um can’t get out of their own way)
So it’s disingenuous to criticize teams who regularly lose their bowl games for . . . Losing their bowl games AGAIN? Gotcha. Or getting annoyed because the Big Ten (from its Commissioner and head of referees on down to its bevy of talking heads on ITS network) whines about calls while systematically ignoring identical (or more egregious) bad calls against Penn State?
Sorry . . . Not sorry.
IMO the biggest issue with the Cotton bowl is it was smashed between the College Playoff games and the start of the Pro games. Once Sunday morning hit it was all NFL all day until Tues.
And if its considered a NY6 bowl then play the damn game on New Years Day.
I don’t think that’s why OSU has a recruiting advantage. It might be their incredible record the past few years. The crying on this board is non stop.
I'm not bitching about anything. I don't watch the BTN so I have no clue about what they are or are not talking about and I don't care, I don't subject myself to that BS. Also, I am sure OSU and Wisky fan bases are pissed off, but I'm not also not going looking anywhere to read about their misery. What I was SAYING and commenting on what I love the fact that two other B1G teams finally get f'd by the officials.
Nothing else, nothing more. Man, you sure read a lot into "what I was saying" and were off by a mile.
No, you’re right, it’s the beautiful Columbus Ohio climate that keeps them rolling in.
So you're comparing us carrying the P-5's water for them and doing what we were expected to do to the Rose Bowl???? Got it. : ^ )
its not one issue and it is not black/white...but the press is a powerful ally or opponent. If you are watching the big ten network is ALL ohio state and michigan. PSU hardly ever is mentioned. if you are a four of five star kid hoping to play three and go to the NFL, you want the PR. And we aren't getting it.
They’re both NY6 bowls, so in that way yes. But the differences is we won and Wiscy didn’t, so no.
Good thing kids don't watch that sorry excuse for a network. It's like watching a bad infomercial.
it is interesting that both tOSU and Wiscy outplayed their opponents but lost the game. tOSU was very unfortunate in injuries and every call went Clemson's way. Wiscy got killed in the turnover battle and that offensive PI call was very questionable...especially it being called at such a critical time.
Joe Blow is a 4* player. He’s got lots of offers, but has narrowed to PSU and OSU.
He has taken official visits. He has met all the coaches. He has looked at everything, like academics, depth/competition at his position, campus locations, history of both programs.
And on signing day he proclaims:
“None of that crap matters. I’m going to OSU because some guy I’ve never heard of on BTN likes OSU better.”
Yep...That happens a lot.
