There may have only been eight Mountain West teams in action, but there were plenty of great performances this past weekend. With that being said, let’s take a look at the top performances from week nine. Offensive Player of the Week Lucky Sutton (San Diego State) The junior running back had one of the best […]
Happy Monday Dawg fans, and welcome to today’s Dots. I walked to Husky Stadium on Saturday remarking that UW needed not just a win, but a Feel Good Win against Illinois. With the late collapse to Michigan and meager 1st-half scoring recently, it seemed Husky fans like me needed to feel good about where this […]
In lieu of the Whistlestop Tour this week I feel like we need to address the current state of Purdue football. After one of the most pants-on-head stupid losses I can remember ever seeing the Boilermakers fumbled away their last realistic chance at a victory in 2025. That leaves the program at a dismal crossroads, […]
I’m just going to come right off the top rope and say that watching PJ Fleck settle for a feckless field goal because he didn’t want to get blanked at Kinnick Stadium was an All-Time victory cigar moment for me. It might be my favorite moment in the Ferentz/Fleck era of this rivalry. I just […]
The 2024-25 basketball season certainly exceeded expectations with Michigan State winning the Big Ten regular season championship by a ridiculous three-game margin and then advancing all the way to the Elite 8. What makes that season even more impressive is that Tom Izzo was basically breaking in a whole new coaching staff. One assistant, Doug […]
Bill Rabinowitz, who covered Ohio State for the Columbus Dispatch for the past 14 seasons, wrote a book about the 2024 Buckeyes. “Buckeye Brotherhood: How Ohio State Navigated a New World to Win a National Championship” chronicles Ohio State’s historic run through the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff, overcoming a devastating loss to Michigan in […]
While the Wisconsin Badgers football team couldn’t get the job done on Saturday, the women’s volleyball team came from behind to beat the Oregon Ducks on Sunday in a 3-1 victory to improve to 15-3 on the year. It was a thrilling match, with each set being decided by at most three points. Mimi Colyer […]
Syracuse is suffering through a four-game slide after a 41-16 defeat at the hands of the Georgia Tech Yellowjackets on Saturday. The reeling Orange ran headlong into a Yellowjacket buzzsaw, as the 8th ranked Tech improved to 8-0 on the season. As painful as the losses have been, it is important to review them with […]
Things don’t feel quite as bad a day or two after Saturday’s embarrassing loss. TMP doesn’t typically dwell on the past; we’re mostly ready to move on to Michigan State. But PJ Fleck is now 1-8 against Iowa and that is a trend we would like to see reversed. How does a loss like that […]
Compared to the chaos of the past few weeks, this Saturday was a relatively quiet one in college football. There were still some great games: Oklahoma-Ole Miss and Vanderbilt-Missouri both lived up to their billing as top-15 matchups, Memphis stunned then-#18 South Florida with a fourth-quarter rally, then-#22 Texas stunned Mississippi State with a fourth-quarter […]

Illinois will match up with 8-seed Ohio State this Thursday at Purdue University, with the victors advancing to play […]
Welp, the Rebels did what apparently no one thought they could do. Ole Miss has yet to lose to Oklahoma in football ever and now can boast winning one in Norman on top of it. Oklahoma’s playoff dreams likely died on Saturday as their schedule is much harder than the Rebels’ down the stretch. With […]

This week on the Overreaction Show, Greg, Hoss, and Jake will discuss and break down Saturday’s 28-21 win over the Northwestern Wildcats. As has been the Huskers’ modus operandi in conference play, it was not a pretty game. It was, in fact, ugly. But as we have also seen most of this season (the exception […]

Mizzou suffered their second loss of the season on the road by the final score of 17-10 to Vanderbilt. It was close, but no cigar (just like the loss to Alabama). In a competitive game on the road against a top-10 opponent, Mizzou had some contributors step up but couldn’t quite finish the deal. Let’s […]
For the 3rd year under Head Coach Mario Cristobal, the Miami Hurricanes are Bowl Eligible after winning their 6th game of the year, a 42-7 blowout of the Stanford Cardinal on Saturday night. Like last season, Miami is highly ranked after 7 games. The aspirations for the 6-1 Hurricanes are sky-high, and this win gives […]
Look, Purdue just didn’t get it done this weekend in football and men’s basketball. Two losses. One counts and hurts and one doesn’t count and I frankly don’t care. Obviously you’re smart people, you are reading this site after all, so you know which one is which but I still want to talk to you […]
Which current Big Ten coach should be YOUR team’s next coach? A very pleasant good morning to you all. Iowa sits atop the Big Ten West, Indiana is an unstoppable jugglenaut, and, as such as the sun rises in the east, we never got you Mailbag answers for last week. As your benevolent overlord, I […]
The New England Patriots celebrated a home win against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday to improve to 6-2 on the year.

Let’s get into some lessons learned […]
The Wisconsin Badgers lost their sixth straight game and fifth straight conference game of the season last Saturday, falling 21-7 to the sixth-ranked Oregon Ducks at a rainy Autzen Stadium. Wisconsin, a 31.5-point underdog at Oregon, accumulated seven tackles for loss and held the Ducks’ offense to 335 total yards. Unfortunately, while the defense played […]
