Top 3 Big Ten Football Picks for the 2009 College Football Season
Never has a conference been so overwhelmingly celebrated at the beginning of the season, and so completely dismissed at the end of the season as the Big Ten. Every year it seems as if Ohio State is just coming up short or Penn State is losing the big one. The mistake people make is in so vehemently disrespecting the conference once the national championship inevitably goes to someone else after weeks of anticipation that “this could be the year.”
Truth is this: the Big Ten is a quality football conference that perhaps receives too much attention and cannot possibly, and with consistency, live up to the pressure. No matter. Getting ready for the 2009 college football season, there are some great bets to be made, and these are the top three football picks from the Big Ten conference you should look out for:
3. Michigan State: Last season, the Spartans logged nine wins and four losses. Running back Javon Ringer kept the Spartans in the conference

SpinSeries put Dick Hanley and Lone Star Dietz up for induction into the Single-Wing Hall of Fame. Dietz led his Washington State team to victory in the 1916 Rose Bowl. Hanley missed quarterbacking Dietz’s 1919 Mare Island Rose Bowl team due to being in the hospital with pneumonia. Hanley coached Haskell Institute in the early 1920s. Dietz coached them from 1929 through 1931. Haskell was a terror running the single-wing under those coaches.
great stuff Tom. hanley and LoneStar we put in for induction.
Fascinating: At the 5:48 mark, Brown shifts into a double-flexed formation with an end and tackle to the left, then they slot their wingback inside that tandem and sweep to the left…
damn… you gotta go back pretty far to find good highlights for wazoo… good video though
