Our first weekend of Big Ten Football started off with a BANG, as for just a few fleeting minutes we found ourselves in late October and Wisconsin was holding all the conference’s points.
We were treated to some surprises (hello, Indiana, Rutgers) and some not-so-surprises (see: Frost, Scott & Fleck, Pajamas).
The beauty about Iowa’s loss to Purdue is its wholly unsurprising but still able to render us completely breathless at the same time. Kirk Ferentz is really a masterclass in welcoming people into his living room and having us get comfortable on a couch that we know will fall through a trap door that leads to the kitchen of Eric Johnson’s Culver’s.
