Here’s a breakdown of news articles, blogs, and press releases about the recently completed Big Ten Media Day(s):

Penn State? Well on their way to double digit victories.

Northwestern? Won’t miss a beat despite losing all of their receivers because their offense will have “better chemistry”.

Ohio State? They went hard in summer workouts, so they’ll be even better.

Purdue? Danny Hope thinks this season is going to be “special”.

Michigan State? With Dazzling true freshman talent all over the field, watch out.

Indiana? Things are looking up. They have the best pass rushing tandem in the country!

Michigan? RichRod’s track record shows a huge leap in victories in year 2, and Tate Forcier’s dad has been training him since he was 5.

Iowa? They’re starting to have “Michigan or Ohio State-like continuity”.

Minnesota? Their players see themselves in contention for the Big Ten Championship, and new wideout Hayo Carpenter is “All America”.

Wisconsin? Media Day reminded Bret Bielema of 2006 when his disrespected team went on to 12 victories.

As for Illinois? Well, if we start 4-0, we’ll have legitimate national title aspirations. Duh.

Looks like for the first time in history, the Big Ten won’t collectively finish .500 in games against each other.  Since I’m pretty good at predictions, I’ll go with 52 wins and 36 losses in conference games.

I love August Syndrome.  And it’s only July 29th.
