Big 10 is very strong in 2012!


The Pomeroy Ratings show Ohio St. as Number 1. Wisconsin is rated 3rd, Michigan St. is 4th, and Indiana 11th. The Big 10 is the top conference is the nation right now.

In comparison the always strong Big 12 has Kansas at Number 2, Michigan 8th, and Baylor 9th.

Nebraska is 122nd, by the way, but has improved from the 140's earlier. The only team in the Big 10 rated lower is Penn St. at 133. Iowa is at 110 but Nebraska beat them on their home court in their last game.

Probably the most exciting recruit is Dorial Green-Beckham from Springfield, Missouri. He is a five start wide receiver who has stayed tight lipped as to where he is going. He has a list of five schools. They are Missouri, Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama, and Arkansas. That's quite a list.

Former Rutgers coach Greg Schlano is the new Tampa Bay Bucs coach. Will he be another college coach who fails in the Pros. Those like Nick Saban, Steve Spurrier, Bobby Petrino and others didn't make it. Schlano's motto is TBA-Trust, Belief, and Accountability.

Former Texas A & M coach Mike Sherman is the new offensive coordinator for the Miami Dolphins.

Jim Harbaugh is Sporting News Coach of the Year in the NFL. Well deserved.

Some Big 10 players struggled somewhat at the Senior Bowl during practice. Russell Wilson had a touchdown pass today but he measured only 5'11" and this could hurt his NFL chances. Mike Brewster, the center from Ohio State, struggled in practice most of the time. Nebraska's Alfonso Dennard also struggled and now with a hip flexor injury, he will have to do well in the combine.

Roy Oswalt is probably headed to the St. Louis Cardinals. Should make them stronger. The loss of Pujois will be hard to overcome however.
