Why Is The Big 10 So Awful?

Is it just because almost every team is stuck playing in the style of 1968?
Is it the lacking of tropical weather?

After watching my Buckeyes the other day I was trying to figure out what the real difference is between the SEC/Big 12 and Everyone else....

It would be nice to have a civil conversation about this.

I think that's it.

Michigan finally modernized their team with the spread. Maybe the rest of the Big 10 will follow suit.

9 of the 11 teams in the Big Ten use some form of the spread offense. Wisconsin is basically the only team that still plays the "old school" Big Ten style.

Because the speed demons sign with the SEC, Big XII, and Pac-10. Big Ten football just looks so slow.

Re: Why Is The Big 10 So Awful?

Maybe its the way they've implemented the spread? I really can't explain it...

and yeah, Wisconsin's kinda stuck in the stone age lol...but if it brings em W's, whos to argue?

At first I was gonna say that too, but then i got thinking bout Ginn, Troy Smith, obviously Pryor...and you got Juice (what about Benn?) I mean obviously most of the SEC is faster, like team wise, cuz when you can only come up with a handful of names in the Big Ten, thats not good when you'd compare them to a Florida or Bama.

Everything comes and goes in cycles, at some point the teams in the Big Ten will figure out how to deal with speed from like the SEC...

ESPN guys always say the difference is speed & athleticism, but not at the skill positions, rather on the lines.

This. I was going to say that when people talk about speed, they aren't talking about the skill positions. Terrell Pryor is as good an athlete as anyone UF/USC/Texas has. For the most part, the skill players at PSU/OSU are on par with the rest of the country. The BIG difference is in the trenches...when I watched OSU's line on Saturday, I couldn't believe how slow/out of shape they looked. This is why I believe USC will not have any issues this weekend...the athletes they have in the trenches are just as good as the ones on the perimeter.

Re: Why Is The Big 10 So Awful?

It's garbage coaching. Look at other conferences, then look at the Big Ten. Outside of Joe Pa, RichRod and Tress, how many of these dudes would cut it in another major conference? Maybe Dantonio and Kaptain Kirk but other than that, it's hot, stinky garbage.
