The Purdue Boilermakers will NOT lose this weekend.
OK ... you guessed it. They do not play this weekend. Purdue will begin its season on 9/6 against Northern Colorado. The squad from West Lafayette has [in my opinion] a respectable pre-conference schedule which includes Oregon and Notre Dame.
The Indiana Hoosiers should handle their opponent this weekend. Though Western Kentucky wins the mascot battle ... go Hilltoppers!
The Badgers of Wisconsin face Akron to kick off the season.
Penn State also has a cream-puff team to beat in Coastal Carolina. The Lions will have to get through Oregon State before reaching the BigTen schedule.
Ohio State [and by extension the non-GCC-eligible Amy] will go through the motions as they face Youngstown State on Saturday. OSU will need to bring their A-game when they meet USC in week three.
Saving the best for last ... THE Iowa Hawkeyes [see - i can put a "the" in front of my school too] will be opening a can of hard-nosed, smash-mouth football on the Maine Black Bears. Once again, the Hawks will have to face their in-state rival Iowa State in the coming weeks.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL
Too bad for the Buckeyes today....Chris "Beanie" Wells, their star running back, went down with a hurt leg. They might need him when they face the University of Spoiled Children in a couple of weeks.
That's a shame.
And as a good PSU fan, I have to mention the stellar play of Pitt today. They blew a 14-0 lead to Bowling Green, giving up a 27-3 scoring stretch and losing 27-17. Dave Wannstedt might be in trouble. Clearly, the Panthers deserved their #25 ranking in the pre-season. There is only one college football team in the keystone state: we are...penn state!
Dear Herky,
I've been wasting time on my new toy when I could be doing something productive ,i.e. SUDOKU. Got around to the G-C cup site and was extremely disappointed to see that you are still too hung over from the carbohydrate overload following IOWA's cakewalk on Sat. Let's get with the program for people like myself and Amy who have nothing better to do with our time than to "tune in" for the latest chest thumping drivel about your team. This message has been sent to you from all of the G-C Cup winner wannabes.
