THE NEW BTN SIDELINE REPORTER, LARRA BETH OVERTON

I’m a big fan of sideline reporters…Actually, scratch that….I’m a big fan of hot sideline reporters. And the Big Ten Network has a new one…Indiana Alum Larra Beth Overton. As a big ten slappy myself, I’d like to say one thing… I approve Erin Andrews…watch your back. Oh yea, and you gotta give Larra credit ... Read more

WISCONSIN CHOKES AWAY SURE VICTORY

One day after complaining about Big Ten officiating, I may have to swallow my words. For once, Bo’s boys weren’t able to hang their hat on their supposed home court advantage and were taking to the woodshed by Minnesota’s press defense. Up about 10 with 4 minutes to go, the Gophers were able to send ... Read more

ASHLEY RUSSELL SPRUCES UP THE BTN

There is really no way I can segue from 9/11 to anything else without looking like a total jackass, pervert, or moron. So I won’t even try…. Many of us are now forced to watch the Big Ten Network for our MSU/UM games. And while we can all agree that the talent in the announcing ... Read more

The World of Isaac Angry Friday Rant

Big Ten Officials I realize that the crews are not limited to just Big Ten games but seemingly every game is reffed differently than other leagues. It seems that sometimes refs feel the need to call a foul on every single possession. Case in point during yesterday’s MSU/ILL game, Randle drives the baseline and Walton ... Read more

Michigan State at Illinois Highlights

RecapBox Score Thoughts Illinois is a bad basketball team. I’ll go as far to say I have no idea how they have won games this year. They have little to no offense outside of Pruitt, and even then, he’s really not all that good. They can’t seem to hit a free throw which really killed ... Read more
