BUCKEYES TO BROWNS
Mike Hall Jr. is selected 54th overall in the second round of the NFL draft by the Cleveland Browns.
Let's not do this again. The Friday night thing, I mean.
I kind of get it, I guess. It's an ostensibly unique way to spice up the middle of the Big Ten schedule, and given that Northwestern and Ohio State played each other in the Big Ten title game last year, you've got a potentially sexy revenge angle to exploit.
But in practice it really just kind of sucks and is weird and goofy. Blowouts can be fun, but everything about last night screamed "exhibition game." From BTN's unbelievably weird production choices to the lackadaisical beginning to the game from both teams to the 8:40 pm EST start time to the fact that I very nearly fell asleep in the middle of the 3rd quarter meant that nothing about this 49 point win felt like it had any gravity.
Oh well. Wisconsin is next. Shit is rapidly getting real.

I just witnessed 3/4 of the Northwestern student section leave simultaneously. I can only assume theyre heading to the library.

I highly doubt that grass is 9 tall. Looks like the tape measure is folded back.

One neat thing about a Friday game is that the rest of the top teams in the country now have a standard to live up to. The Buckeyes might be making moves in the polls come Sunday. Fingers crossed!
