I am not sure if I ever seen such a blowout of one conference opponent over another. This is between 2 Big 10 = 14 schools. Just confirms that the Big 10 = 14 expanded for a pure money grab. Rutgers brings nothing to except coin to the conference. I luv Harbaugh but he tends to do low class stuff like this.

[nuconvert]

wow. Big scores this weekend...Washington over Oregon 70 - 21.

[TruthFactor]

Harbaugh wanted to put more points up than the 58 Ohio State had against Rutgers last week.

[real saxophonist]

Peppers, that’s a cool name. Way back in my Drum Corps days, we did a show at Rutgers stadium, it’s kinda cool, built in the side of a hill.

Why on God’s green earth is RUTGERS playing Michigan and THE Ohio State University?

Crazy, I calls it.

For that matter, a few weeks ago, COLGATE (my alma mater) played Syracuse for the first time since the 1950s.

WTF?

[FreedomGuru]

Didn’t see yesterday game but Harbaugh has played a lot of players in his high scoring games, and you cannot have your players told to just sit on it and don’t score. The other team is expected to put up a defense.

I still don’t know why Rutgers was added to the Big 10

[woweeitsme]

They are playing these teams because they are part of the Big 10, which is now way more than 10.

I still don’t know why Rutgers was added to the Big 10

Well, neither do I, but I suspect the love of money had something to do with it.

Is it the case that the number of Division I FBS capable football players graduating high school is falling?

Seems like a lot of lopsided scores this year. Maybe there aren't enough players for 128 teams.

[MuttTheHoople]

The Big 10 has 14 teams, the Big 12 has 10 teams, and they call the SEC dumb?

[ConservaTeen]

Hey Big Ten, you made a mistake when you expanded. You should've picked UConn instead of Rutgers. I know Rutgers has football history, but if you wanted New York, UConn should be invited.

Oops, I thought I was on The-Boneyard.com (University of Connecticut's fan site). :-)

The SEC has Missouri, which used to be in the Midwest but has somehow migrated to the Southeast. And Texas A&M and Arkansas used to be in the "Southwest Conference," but now they're in the "Southeast Conference". They must have moved, too. And the ACC has Notre Dame and Louisville, neither of which are very close to the "Atlantic Coast".

Some of us are mathematically challenged, some of us have trouble in geography. Nobody has a clear path to class valedictorian. ;-)

[Mashood]

Yeah...but did Rutgers get a trophy too?

My favorite name for a woman, and she’s been a pro golf commentator on TV for a long time, is Dottie Pepper. “Dottie Pepper”...................................................

Some insane person put Rutgers into the Big Ten.

[MotorCityBuck]

Exactly my thoughts! Mich. also did it on the road.
Gonna be a Good matchup come November. Probrably as Big as 2006 when they where both ranked 1 & 2. Great stuff. Welcome back Mich.
Go Bucks!

I luv Harbaugh but he tends to do low class stuff like this.

I can't blame Harbaugh for anything. Granted the score was blown out of proportion but what do you do to prevent that?

You have to play each game like it's a bowl game, you play tough because if you don't, players get hurt.

I cringed at the final score but if Rutgers has no defense and you have an awesome offense, what do you do? Anything less than giving it your all then you make a mockery of the game........

[Colofornian]

Big 10 has already been the shame conference, leading the way in openly sanctioning child sexual abuse [Kinsey & Indiana...children of table 34] and then Penn State’s coverup

[Swanks]

Out scored 136 - 0 in two games. In the NASDAQ, you get delisted if you can’t keep your stock price at a certain point. Rutgers should be put on notice if they have games like 2 yards offense at the half and 0 first downs into the third quarter then they can’t play Div 1 football. They should be playing Iona Wagner Monmouth college anyway. ITS AN INSULT TO US WATCHING GOOD TEAMS TO HAVE TO SUFFER THROUGH RUTGERS AS AN OPPONENT SO THEY THINK THEY CAN HAVE A BIGTIME PROGRAM

Ouch.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Shoulda been Missouri.
