Last weekend of the "pandemic" lost season is here. It's championship week with some additional games thrown in. Not to worry like every other week we see games cancelled - so far we are up to 8 total games.

Both Purdue and Maryland have cancelled their final games so Horvath and Funk's exceptional short seasons come to an end. Michigan-Iowa is also cancelled so we won't get to see Harbaugh's team fail against the white friendly Hawkeyes.

The biggest caste match up of the week will be the Big Ten championship which pits Northwestern vs Ohio St (who had the rules changed so they qualified for the championship game). It's a long shot but Northwestern found a ground game last week and they have a stout front seven. Ramsey needs to play smart, efficient football and the Wildcats need to slow down the Buckeyes run game.

Limping to the finish line. What a joke this season has been. Excellent point in regards to us missing out on Horvath and Funk! They were hot and in a normal season it would have been a blast to see what numbers they ended up with.

Northwestern are clear underdogs but I'm with you they have a chance! We'll see if their Front 7 can stop the run and If Ramsey and company can get that offense rolling. That being said, slim chance. Their Stud Snow patrol unit gives me more hope than usual.

If Northwestern somehow beats Ohio State, it will put a damper on the playoffs. I’m all for anything to cause a financial catastrophe for all involved in this ridiculous clown show season.

I'd be happy to see OSU lose but the potential issues of financial strain on major college football is also something to root for! :)

It just goes to show the Ohio St bias that if USC goes 6-0 they still have no shot at the CFB playoff but if the Buckeyes win they are in. I'd argue that USC actually played a harder schedule overall.

Ohio State apparently has a "star receiver" out with a positive covid test for the championship game against Northwestern. No one expects the Wildcats to pull an upset regardless. The next phase of drama will be the conference potentially dropping its mandatory 21-day pause for positive tests to 17 days, as reported by Tim May. Still more stringent than the CDC guidelines, but short enough to get the Buckeyes cleared for the CFP semifinal. Quite a rumor!

Good article on Charlie Kolar. His story checks all the boxes of the typical caste experience young white athletes experience - not recruited at all by the major in state program, recruited by ivy league/military academies, gets lucky and is recruited by a rebuilding program. He's really smart and comes from a strong family as well. Rooting for the Cyclones to defeat the ultra-caste Sooners tomorrow.

black quarterback for Ohio State looks lost out there, NW should win this game if they don't turn the ball over

Perfect result we were looking for. Northwestern has a chance as long as they keep it close and yes no turnovers!

Don’t want to jinx it but I hope the NW defense remains disciplined. Keep the OSU run game neutralized, control the clock and no turnovers.

Damnit Ramsey! Why would they throw? **** run the ball and kick a damn field goal. They're going to regret that.

Good bend but not break Defense from NU. Gave up a 65 yard run and Buckeye kicker shanks a kick.

Game over for Northwestern after the 2nd int. These last few games should make people realize Fields is just another quota clog in their system. The OSU Rb is the reason they will win this game.

NW offense couldn’t hold up their end of the bargain. Credit to OSUs Rb for the big game on the ground.

The Washington St. Cougars are winning 28-7 at halftime on the road against Utah.

Great game to watch from both sides for our cause.

Max Borghi has 5 carries for 71 yards and a big 37 yard td run! Man have I missed him playing this year. Good to see him back and looking as explosive as ever!

On the Utah side of the ball we have a guy who can do it all. Britain Covey has 3 receptions for 102 yards and a touchdown. He also has 1 return for 25 yards!
