I see ESPN dropped their Big Ten preview and we are probably sitting there in the middle of the pack again while Ohio State and Oregon get all the love. You know what this reminds me of? The 1998 season when we had Ron Dayne running behind that offensive line and nobody wanted to schedule us because they knew what was coming. We are playing Notre Dame on a Tuesday night in the regular season this year and I still cannot get over that. When Alvarez was here we played Big Ten games on Saturday afternoons and that was that. Now we have conference realignment and TV money running everything. The portal killed roster continuity and NIL killed loyalty and we are supposed to get excited about a midseason non-conference game that used to be a New Years Day bowl matchup.
