We've Got Your "Seven Nation Army" Right Here.
After a decade of domination courtesy of the ACC, the Big Ten finally prevailed for the first time ever in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge. It didn’t come however without lots of blood, sweat, and tears. Penn State needed a big second half against Virginia then almost blew it at the end, same story with Wisconsin [...]
That’s right boys and girls, no pre-rank ramblings from Yours Truly this week. Let’s get right to the rankings, shall we?
1. Ohio State – Say what you want about Terrelle Pryor’s ineffectiveness as a passer but the Buckeyes just find ways to rack up points as two pick-sixes by the defense helped turn what should’ve [...]
And by “bye week” I mean of course, Eastern Illinois. Yes, a school that is best known as Tony Romo’s alma mater is PSU’s opponent this week. I’m trying my damndest to care and to ward off the apathy bug that comes along with playing such an opponent in October but I can only care [...]
Well, that’s more like it! It’s nice to see an offensive line that can run-block and to see the coaches finally decide “Screw it, let’s allow Daryll to be Daryll.”
I’d also like to give a shout-out to Ron Zook’s coaching brilliance. Not attempting an onside kick with Illinois having just cut PSU’s lead to 18 [...]
Unfortunately, no time for Big Ten Power Rankings this week. Instead, I’ll quickly put up my postings for this week’s Big Ten Pick ‘Em challenge sponsored by Gopher Nation. Here are the standings so far after five weeks, as you can see, I’m representing the PSU blogosphere pretty well thus far.

The video above describes my feelings after last Saturday’s prison rape courtesy of the Iowa defense. To be honest with you, I knew we were going to blow the game after JayPa brilliantly decided to call for a pass in our own end zone despite the fact our O-line was pass-blocking like a kid trying [...]
Three things are certain at the end of every September: Fall foliage begins, Conference play in college football begins, and HHV’s Big Ten Power Rankings rise from the woodwork. Now in its third season, the rankings have become some sort of a staple of this blog that has led to plenty of praise along with [...]
In case you’re just getting acquainted, check out Part One.
For those of you who’ve been anxiously awaiting Part Two, the wait is over. Today, we’ll be covering all of the October schedule sans the Halloween showdown at Northwestern.
October 3rd at Illinois – What a difference a year makes. Without the defender of the free world [...]
Wow, quite the performance by Michigan State’s Stephen “Batman” Holman, I must say. Too bad his team in typical Sparty fashion, blew the game in the end, practically setting the tone for the next 16 years of PSU dominance in the fake rivalry (12-4 since joining the Big Ten).
Or take this video from an Illinois [...]
That’s right, boys and girls: Fresh off the grill in time for the arrival of summer are 2009’s first batch of what has become a fan favorite here at HHV…And by “fan favorite” I mean the few friends who’ve drunk-dialed me in the past to tell me how much they love the Big Ten power [...]
