Sunday Fun Day: 2020 Just Got 2020er
Week 1 is in the books! May I commend all of you for sending me your picks without to much prodding... Luke... As we emerge from the particle matter of Michigan's absolute DUSTING of PJ Fleck and the Gilded Rodents, it is clear to this college football fan that 2020 just got a whole lot weirder. Forget the wildfires, forget COVID-19, forget the moronic nature of this years presidential debates, forget the fact that Merriam-Webster just recognized "Irregardless" as an official word, hell, forget that Nebraska was blown out again, RUTGERS WON A BIG TEN GAME!!! The rarity of this event is equaled only by Indiana finally beating a top 10 team they held a lead against in the forth quarter, but that will never happen... (insert 2020 and all of its circus music) That happened too! We now stare down the actual possibility that after one week we could have either an IU or Rutgers Big Ten Champion and I am 10000000% on board both band wagons. Yes I know they are both on the same side of the division as Michigan and Ohio State but at the moment I don't care. Give me Rutgers and the Fighting Greg Schianos vs Pat Fitzgareld and his 20th year preferred walk on-medical redshirt-transfer senior linebacker Paddy Fisher and the Northwestern Wildcats in the Big Ten Championship! Northwestern made some "history" also on Saturday that I will discuss in the first ever "Monday Mull Over" game reviews released tomorrow.
As far as the league and our performance, week 1 was a mixed bag. Three people went 6-4 (Myself, Luke some how, and Tyler). Three people also ended at 5-5 (Blake, Ethan, and Brent) while Dalton grabbed a seat by himself at the 4-6 table because he's cool. Meanwhile, sitting in the basement keeping the furnace running for the rest of us are Teddy and Ben after Michigan State like performances of 3-7. Ben actually started off 3-0 and then proceeded to do this...
Remember though that the Holy Goblet of Busch Light only fill'eth eternally for the individual who accumulates the most points from the games they correctly picked. With that said here are the current standings after Week 1.
The two teams who smited the league this week were Iowa (welcome to my life) with a combined league record of 1-9 (Ethan's pessimism for his Iowa Hawkeyes saved him) and 49 pts lost, and Penn. St with a combined 1-9 league record (I was the only one to pick IU) and 65 pts lost.
Those of you with a keen eye may may have noticed Brent sitting at the bottom of the points totals with 20 pts even though he went 5-5 on the week. After notifying and sending as many requests as possible to the directors of "The Social Dilemma", I've received actual secret government video footage of the path Brent took to accomplish the feat.
The rest of the weeks games are a mosh posh of laughable characters such as Sam Ehlinger, "The" University of Kansas, and Tua Tagovailoa's younger brother quarterbacking Maryland who, spoiler alert, is about as good as any sequel ever is. With that being said, here are the lines for Week 2 and may the odds be ever in your favor.✌
Looking forward to Week 2 and Halloween weekend there are several matchups that should get the festivities off on the right foot. The obvious headliner of the bunch pits the two titans of the Big Ten East against each other. No not Penn. St vs Ohio. St. Not even the Michigan Wolverines matchup against the once mighty but now tiny Spartans (Michigan is favored by 25 lol). Its Rutgers hosting Indiana in a battle of the unbeatens in East Rutherford for Big Ten supremacy with IU favored by 13! Elsewhere, Kevin Warren continues to roll out the "Big Red" carpet for Scott Frost and the boys as Nebraska gets to take on Wisconsin after getting shredded by Ohio State😂.
In Iowa City, the Hawkeyes host Northwestern and Pat Fitzgerald who Iowa fans give the Voldemort treatment to every year in hopes that his dark magic may pass them over.
