I was planning to go into my failure more in depth in a season ending wrap up, but this just couldn't wait. Northwestern is leading Minn at home currently and I am pulling for a NU win. If Northwestern wins they will improve their record to 13-13.
I said at the beginning of the season that I did not believe the bottom of the big ten (Nebraska, Northwestern, PSU) was as good as some other's seemed to think. I may be an arrogant dick, but when it comes to basketball I am willing and sometimes able to admit when I was wrong (as long as I am not too drunk). The numbers don't lie, I was horribly wrong.
If Northwestern wins today every team in the Big Ten will be at .500 or better at least 24 games into the season. I haven't done the research on this, but I would guess that this might be the first time in the modern era (since early 1980s) that any conference has had every team over .500 this late into the season.
Yeah, I agree you are an arrogant dick and you were completely wrong about this.
ReplyDelete"I haven't done the research on this..." That should be your motto!
I am on fire.
But seriously, folks. The bottom of the Big Ten is not so bad. Illinois, in the cellar, is would probably finish ahead of three teams in a normal year.
