Big Ten Roundtable of Bloggers: Week Six

By Adam Kiefaber

Every week this season a fellow Big Ten blogging site will host the Big Ten Bloggers roundtable of questions.

This week Black Heart Gold Pants, which is an Iowa blog, will be the host of the sixth Big Ten roundtable of the season. Buckeye Lane will play host the week of the Wisconsin at Ohio State game (September 29th through the November 3rd).

Go to Black Heart Gold Pants’ questions to find links to find what other Big Ten Bloggers have to say.

1. You know what? Screw your team. I hate your team right now; I’m an Iowa fan, and I have anger in my heart. Name your top conference rival, and assess their season to date. If you haven’t played them yet (and I don’t think anyone has), how are you going to do when that fateful day comes?

The rival is obvious - the Michigan Wolverines -

Everyone Ohio State fan cheers against Michigan with the same passion as they cheer for the Buckeyes to win. So when Michigan lost to Appalachian State it felt like the Buckeyes won a huge game. Then when Michigan lost to Oregon, we laughed a bit harder, even though the Ducks are a much tougher team than any team OSU has played.

It was a little scary when Michigan beat then ranked No. 10 Penn State, but then the Nittany Lions lost to Illinois, so does that win mean anything.

One thing is for certain no matter what either team’s record is come November 17th, it will always be a huge game that anyone can win.

2. If your season to date was an album (or CD, for all you young hippety-hoppers), what would it be and why?

This is a tough one. I kind of want to say MC Hammer’s Too Legit to Quit (below) or the Who’s Who’s Next, but those would be based on just album names and not the albums themselves.

If somebody knows of an album that has 12 tracks. The first two being boring, the third being a little better, three and four having only a few cords, followed by a surprising seventh track, crappy eighth, decent ninth, catchy 10th, a young party theme for the 11th and overplayed classic on the 12th.

If you didn’t notice - that was the schedule in album form.

3. If you had three minutes alone in a locked room with any coach from your team and you could bring any item along (nothing sexual, tOSU fans), which coach would you choose, what would the item be, and how badly would you pummel Ken O’Keefe why would you choose that item?

This is another tough question. I really don’t know how to respond.

I guess I would bring in a George O’Leary-type of resume and ask the head ball coach Jim Tressel for a job.
